I need practice with creative writing, so I decided to start an RTD. Basic rules, see multiworld madness or any of the other large RTDs if you don't know them. You won't be able to learn magic or superhuman abilities in places they do not exist, but other than that anything goes (within reason). Only 5 players for now, though I might add more later.
Character setup: just give you character a name, species, and class
Setting: You all wake up in a strange room, you can't remember how you got here or where here is. There 2 symbols on three of the walls, and a diagram of 7 colored spheres on the fourth. You will have to look more closely to see more
