Turn 1
Make sure to view your character spoiler and the Negentropic Abilities spoiler that was added to the first page!
Please include your character's name in your action posts.
I may have forgot a few things. If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
Your senses distort, and you find yourself yanked in a direction you didn't know existed. You feel a sensation not dissimilar to falling as you descend through a colorless void. You get the distinct feeling that by all right you should be dead and gone.
"No... This is not the way..."
A light appears, as distant as the stars in a night sky but rapidly encroaching upon your position!
"Come forth and embrace your death, and I shall cast your soul unto--"
The voice cuts out. The light is gone and you regain conciousness. You are yourself once again. But you are not in any place that you recognize. You are on what appears to be a mostly flat slab of stone. Some kind of fog prevents you from seeing very far beyond the stone, but you can make out other similar stones not far beyond it. You feel that you would be able to jump to one of them without too much trouble. The fog seems to be repelled by the stone, you can see any point of the stone you are on from any location on the stone, but you can only see a few meters into the fog, making you unable to tell what is on the other stones.
Shortly afterwards you learn a few more things. The stones are constantly moving. New 'islands' periodically move within jumping range of your current location, yet they never quite touch. You are not sure what would happen if you missed the jump and fell, your vision does not extend far enough to see what, if anything, lies below. You feel a vague sense of foreboding.
And not long after that you discover something even more shocking!

Suzy
You feel the greatest change your body has undergone since your first meeting with Timo. Though you have never even heard of this ability before, you somehow feel certain that you know what it is, and how to use it!
With this power, you can subvert the constant entropy that is inherent to the world you once called home; taking mere shattered concepts and reassembling them in order to suit your needs. Though you have lost track of your voidship and your companions, and seem to be stranded in the middle of nowhere all on your own, you finally have found a potential lead on how a new world could be created!
EuchreRats
Nest EuchreRats finds themselves in an odd place, on a floating rock in the middle of who knows where. EuchreRat 003 starts glowing strangely. Nobody really know what happened to EuchreRat 002. Or about how you got here, or where here even is.
Then again, Nest EuchreRats never really did have any scholars or philosophers and at the end of the day a Skaven is still a Skaven. No matter where you go, your nest will still have more or less the same goals. Kill, eat, survive. That sort of thing.
Your group currently consists of approximately 90 skavenslaves. You'll need to find some manner of sustenance if you want to maintain this number for very long or increase it.
Erik the Ninja
You aren't quite sure what happened. Maybe that world-ending fire goddess finally got around to doing the whole world-ending thing. You are currently alone on a floating island made of stone. Stranger things happen to you all the time though, so its not that big of a worry.
What is a big worry however, is the new power that you have awakened to! It is something completely separate from your normal magic abilities. Its sort of like the power to turn star stuff into other stuff or something like that... But the really worrisome part is that you somehow inherently know that it is NOT prone to cataclysmic misfires like your regular magic!
Aside from that, you find it quite peaceful here. Its very quiet, the scenery is uniform and repetitive, and there's barely any nightmarish horrors around!
Merisa 'cutthroat
So. The good news is that you aren't relegated to the Arson department anymore. The bad news is that you somehow ended up in some kind of alternate reality and are basically floating around space all alone on a rock.
Somehow your figurative coldness is now able to manifest as literal coldness, through the use of a power that you didn't know you even had until just now; and you suddenly know exactly how it works!
You have a feeling that this is going to be a rough day. At least you won't have to deal with any more of detective Roghayeh's bullshit though.
Octavian Grey
You find yourself in a very strange room. On closer inspection you find that it is not, in fact, a room at all. You seem to have stumbled upon one of the infinite ways to escape the infinite mansion, but you aren't entirely sure what happened.
As you are no longer in the mansion, you noticed that your magic is no longer evolving; and is not being powered by the laws of the infinite mansion anymore. You are not entirely sure how you know this. Another thing you don't know is why you are fully aware of another kind of magic that you are now able to use... And that it not only can be used to turn something called essense into physical matter, but it can also be used to invoke the spells that you had evolved previously!
You are currently standing on a big flat floating island made entirely of rock. Where do you go from here though?
Liberty G. Jefferson
You know about physics. You're a girl who knows quite a bit about how the universe does and does not work. So you feel uniquely qualified to state that what just happened to you is definitively impossible and makes no sense. And yet here you are; standing alone on a flat slab of rock floating in the middle of god knows where.
Also, you suddenly have magic powers. And the knowledge of how to use those powers. The powers also violate the laws of physics in new and exciting ways. Like creating something out of nothing.
How did that old saying go again?
A grey unicorn wearing a large hat and a cape
You're a grey unicorn wearing a large hat and a cape. You are on a floaty rock.
Welcome to the Ambiguity. We hope you have a nice stay here. Please enjoy the complimentary negentrophic magic powers.
Quaster
You have somehow lost track of the psionic presence that is the propulsion of your void ship. And the void ship too. And just about everything and everyone else honestly.
Your quest to discover a way to create a new universe would be all but over were it not for the fact that you suddenly gained the ability to use what even your great mind can only understand as 'magic' that can allow you to revert the enropy of shattered worlds; albeit on a very localized scale. You are not quite sure how it is you know about this power despite having not tested it yet, but somehow you are certain that this is now something you can do.
What you don't know is where you are or how you can get back to tell everyone about this!
Webster
You have died. You knew about that. It was part of the competition that you joined. You are not dead anymore. This is ALSO part of the competition that you joined. You are alone on a big flat rock floating in a sea of mist... You aren't entirely sure if this is part of the competition that you joined or not. You suddenly have a new magical power that you somehow know how to use! This can also be explained by the competition that you joined.
Or at least it could have been explained by that, if not for the fact that your Wiki-o-Matic tells you that you didn't score any wikibucks or points. And it also is showing an odd error message...
You can't be totally certain, but you suspect that maybe, just maybe, this isn't part of the wikiwars.
Ailn
Your badge starts wigging out, and suddenly just observing it starts to hurt your brain a bit as it attempts to lead you in a non-euclidean direction. You don't know where you are, or how you got here. You can feel that The Scholar in Red is more distant from you now by at least the distance of one world. This is probably a bad omen.
Strange new knowledge fills your mind. It is different from anything you leaned from the Scholar; your mind seems undamaged or at the very least no more damaged than it was before from the receipt of this knowledge. You somehow know that you can now use magic. This world is filled with essense, which you can tap into to conjure things.
You find yourself standing on a floating island made of rock. The why of the situation escapes you.
Scarlet
You find yourself feeling like shit. You felt that way before due to the bioweapon, but now you feel like a totally different variety of shit. Your Iron Weavers start to give you some strange error messages, which cannot possibly be a good sign.
Or so you thought. Being from a technological world you didn't expect to suddenly learn about how to use magic. Yet suddenly, you did and you haven't the foggiest idea how. Rather than being dependant on some kind of machinery, this power now seems second nature to you. Perhaps it could be used to solve your most pressing problem.
You aren't quite sure how to solve the other problem of being on some kind of floating rock in the middle of nowhere, but that problem can wait.
