You wake up submerged in some kind of bluish liquid. A sudden panic takes you, until you realize you are able to breathe normally. You are wearing some kind of tight diving suit. You have no idea where you are, the last thing you remember is living a normal life with your friends and family. As your eyes slowly adapt to the darkness you can see you are in some kind of vat. Through the glass you can see a humanoid silhouette manipulating something. You get the feeling the person watches you. After a short while some kind of bright white light blinds you...


Welcome to New Horizons, a new forum roleplaying game GMed by Poltifar and I.

To join you must simply provide a character bio (two or three paragraphs should be enough, though more is better). You are playing someone normal living in modern times (circa 2010). “Normal” in this case means someone who could exist in 2010, you can go for Average Joe characters such as a factory worker or a forum-posting student or for more unusual characters (secret agents, high-profile politicians, arms dealers, etc).
If you have no idea what to put in your biography, some of the things you can mention are appearance, personality, childhood, education, work, family, friends, events that left an impression on the character, and so on.

From there we will assign stats to your character and you will be ready to begin.

We have 8 open spots and will begin as soon as we have at least 6 players. We will open more spots as the game progresses.

This thread is to be used for OOC chat, the game thread will be opened later. You can also join us on IRC

I'll probably join this - will write an application when I get home.

There are three things you must learn if you wish to defeat me, my young pupil. First, you must look within yourself and find your core of strength. Second, your mind and body must be in perfect unison. Third...
*WHACK*
Third, stop listening when you should be fighting.

Now, what have we here? Something exciting, apparently.

I'll be joining just as soon as I whittle down the scope of possibilities from 'everyone who could conceivably exist' to 'one person'.
