Somewhere far out, in another world where scales are drastically lower and theoretical and practical are of same definition, the Hypoverse.
Who are you? Another isolated narrow minded sun worshipping creature, living on its lonely fertile rock flowing somewhere in the far reaches of Sourcecloud? An advanced spacefaring civilisation utilising genetically engineered organisms to assimilate? An evil horde of death machines tearing apart and exploiting every little world out there? We dont know yet, time has just started. Look, and you will find! What will you find? New worlds to settle? Discover and unveil the story of the precursors? Will you find other kinds? Will you peacefully attempt to communicate, and later trade with them? Will you wage war upon them and demand their submission? Its you decision.
The workings of the game:
The whole of the Hypoverse revolves around the sourcecloud, a galaxy created by the matter spewn out from a wormhole in the middle. There are various substances with each their properties for you to discover through experimentation, many forces governing the world, for you to tame. The whole of the Hypoverse is overlooked by the Universal mind, basically a unified mind of all living in the Hypoverse, everything living has a connection with it, stronger or weaker. The universal mind observes the universe through the universal spectacles, sometimes it will find interesting events and/or places that it feels worthy to narrate and broadcast to all of the living, there are few already existing civilisations, namely the Primordials and the Precursors, both at the brink of extinction and so far spread apart that they are usually sole lonely cosmonauts.
How to play this game:
I am the universal mind, your are something alive in this world. You can either control a single individual, or the whole kind, depends on what type of intelligence you give your creature. What you do is that you PM your moves to me and i PM you back with the results, kind of like DnD. Sometimes i will put up "Broadcasts from the Universal Mind" wich are basically updates for outsiders on the world, you can choose to use this information in advantage against other players or not. When you take your first move, be sure to describe what kind of creature you want, you cannot control all the details, There are three attributes of your creature that you can choose, Intelligence type(Wether pack, hivemind or individual), Ecological Role and name of speices. There are written rules of the gameplay but you will have to discover them yourself, play by your wits and explore!
Currently there are 4 slots open, i will open more if the concept holds water. The pace will vary alot from time to time, i got a life too, but i want this thing to be here.
