WELCOME TO GENESSIA: THE BAY

Starting Point Characters new to the city awaken within The Bay with a vague sense of having slept for too long and the grogginess that typically accompanies such a thing. They will be lying in a slightly-tilted cocoon of silver metal lined with silk and soft padding. The entire Bay is covered in about two inches of clear water, with multiple white lights throughout that dimly illuminate the enormous domed cavern of dark gray stone. There are twelve archways that all lead to the city outside. A simple white box lies on the character's chest, containing the essentials: a jeweled necklace of gold and opalescent stones (with one particular color more prominent than the others to identify which city the character may expand if they so choose), what appears to be a smart phone, a key, and a pamphlet. The pamphlet's cover states simply: 'Welcome to Genessia'. All of these items are crafted to the appropriate size for the new character. The Bay is located at the very heart of Genessia City. The pamphlet first explains the smart phone, explaining it as a cross-city communication device, with easy instructions about how to communicate via text, audio, and/or video, and how to transmit privately, and also encourages the character to give it a try once he or she leaves the Bay. The necklace, the pamphlet goes on to further explain, is required in order to pass from Genessia City to one of the other four cities, and should be worn at all times not only to allow this ease of transportation, but to identify the owner to others in the city as 'real'. The key has a room number on it, and an address on the same street characters enter out onto upon exiting the Bay and the words "Genessia Commonspace" on one side of the key (unless you opted to choose one of the apartment buildings). The last fold in the pamphlet has a thick manila folder, where several red bills are stacked and bound by a white ribbon. The pamphlet states that this is the main currency for Genessia City in order to purchase room, board, and other necessities. It encourages the character to apply for a job in order to earn more if they so desire. Just outside of every entrance to the Bay, new arrivals will find a magazine stand. The stand is stacked with brochures containing labeled maps of the primary city of Genessia. Next to the magazine rack is a rather high-tech looking stand that upon being approached, activates with the holographic projected image of a swarthy young man in a finely made dark blue suit, a long black ponytail down his back. He gives a brief bow and begins to speak, and subtitles in the common language of Genessia began to scroll along the bottom of the hologram. "Greetings to you. My name is Roland Crane, mayor of Genessia City as of the time of this recording, and on behalf of Genessia and Schnee Company, I welcome you to Genessia. I'm afraid I'll have to ask for your full attention for a few minutes, as I have a lot to explain, and won't be able to respond to any questions you have as again, this is only a recording. "Genessia is a self-contained world that pulls in inhabitants of all sorts of worlds, including you and me. The pendant you were provided with upon arriving marks you as a guest of Genessia, and you mustn't lose it for any reason, as it serves as your key to travel between regions and can't be replaced." As Roland explains the pendant, an enlarged hologram depicting one pops up beside him, rotating slowly in place before fading away. "The device you've been given is important as well, as it allows you to communicate with others at great distances. It can be replaced, unlike your pendant, but it's expensive to do so, so try not to lose or break it." Again, a large model showing what Roland's talking about appears briefly beside him. "There are six main regions in Genessia. The first is Genessia City, where you stand now, that serves as a central hub. Nova City is a place of advanced science and technology. Fayren is a land of magic and nature. In Everglade, undead and other creatures of the night roam freely. Attleton is a place of relative normality, compared to the other cities, but then again, that might depend on what's normal for your world. Finally, Windgate Creek only appeared recently, and we don't know as much about it. "We might not be in our own worlds anymore, but with the help of the natives, we've maintained a thriving society where a normal, peaceful life is possible for anyone. I ask that you not entertain any ideas of disturbing that peace, as we're more than able to protect it against all comers. "Now, I've gone on for long enough, so I'll wrap up here. More information is provided in the reading materials nearby," Roland waves an arm at the nearby magazine racks, and a large holographic arrow pops up if that wasn't enough, "and you're welcome to ask questions at any Schnee Company location or over the network. Again, welcome to Genessia, and I hope you enjoy your stay." Roland bows one final time, and the hologram winks out. If the hologram is tampered with, a strange gas will be released from the device. It seems to be a gas that knocks biological creatures unconscious. The device also calls law enforcement for destruction of property charges.

Would you like to add a new location to the game? Most locations can be handwaved, like if there's a Chinese food place your character goes to once or something for a one time thread, but if you want to add a specific location that your character may frequent or you need for various purposes, you can add it here! You can also open subarchways. It's easy! Reply to this post with the correct form:

ADD SUBARCHWAY <b>Character:</b> <b>Username:</b> <b>Which Archway is this Subarchway being established under?</b> Fayren, Everglade, Nova City, Attleton, or Somorrah? <b>Subarchway Location:</b> The name of the location that your character wants to open. (London UK 1934, The Moon, or your character's favorite bar- whatever the location is.) <b>Location Details:</b> Please provide at least a brief description of the location which may also include a link to an accurate wiki page, map, or other information source. <b>Price Character is Paying for Archway:</b> This is up to you. It can be a memory, the ability to eat a favorite food- use your own judgment, but it should be proportional to the archway. If they're opening an archway to a house, it should cost less than an entire city.

ADD LOCATION <b>Location Name:</b> <b>Brief Description of Location:</b> One paragraph. May include a wiki link but should not rely solely on it. <B>Archway:</b> Genessia, Fayren, Everglade, Nova City, Attleton, or Somorrah?

NOTICE REGARDING SUBARCHWAYS: Subarchways will not be approved if the only description provided is an outside link. You MUST provide a short single-paragraph summary in order to have your subarchway approved. This is in order to help all players who may not be familiar with canon able to quickly see what the subarchway is without having to spend hours reading wiki links. You may still include a link for further details, but it cannot be the only thing submitted to open a subarchway. Thank you for your cooperation.

If you are trying to open a character-run business, please reply to the employment page instead.

SAMPLE

[f-steak.livejournal.com]

Chie would like to give up the ability to eat beef and steak in order to recover part of Inaba. Though this is important to her (steak is her favorite food and she's pretty nuts about it), it's nothing so hugely sacrificial that she would be able to restore the whole town, so probably just the suburbia where she lives, the high school, and the Samegawa River. I wrote up the sample paragraph below!

'A rural Japanese town, though it's somewhat incomplete. The suburban houses are there, as is Yasogami High School, and the Samegawa River. But the shopping district, Junes store, and other outlying businesses seem to be missing, at least for the time being. The weather varies, though there's a certain nasty chill in the air whenever it gets foggy. The TV world is inaccessible at this time, even with a Persona.'

Though Chie does spend a lot of time here, she still chooses to rent an apartment in Genessia City. She lives in Holly Ridge, Room 203.

Ice King really needs his crib back. SO he needs to open an Archway! Now, the WHOLE Ice Kingdom may be a little much - just his palace would suffice. This Archway really ought to be in Fayren I think.

http://adventuretime.wikia.com/wiki/Ice_Kingdom A little info on the place.

So Ice King's palace is basically a hollowed out mountain that is completely and utterly covered by ice.

To get this, the Ice King is ready to give up his most precious belonging: his entire compilation of his Fionna and Cake fan-fiction - this will likely mean he'll forget ever writing it, or wanting to bring the characters to life. Believe me when I say this: he wants to really bad in-canon.

He just really needs his pad. He's gotta bring those Princesses somewhere. :x

[smelltheredinside]

So by the fact they haven't been deleted, but I just want to check, all the disappeared people's archways are still in effect?

[plungeintofire]

Yup! A price was paid, so they're pretty much permanent and free to explore. (Or conquer.)

[baconandsnausages]

Cool, thanks :3

IDEAS

[gypsyvermins]

Fayren - The Cloister of Trials

A holy building, worn with age, on the outside of which stands an imposing statue of an angel with a scale in its hands. The souls of all who enter will be weighed.

Its exterior is the same for all who enter, but its interior is much different. Those who breach the massive stone doors will feel their hearts and minds probed, and what was hidden shall be laid bare. Large mountains, dense forests, Dank caves: all or none of these may await for those who are tested.

There are, naturally, many beasts which await. For those who brave the monsters without, they must contend with those within. All who finish these trials will be rewarded. Some with great truths, either about themselves or the world. Some with newfound strength, to overcome what awaits outside. But be warned; those who fail will have their reward as well. Some may be routed to a dark path, never to rise again.

Beware, for those who exit the Cloister of Trials will change. What shape that change will take is up to them.

Attleton - The Lowerarchy

Demons, Devils, and Tempters are never far from their hosts. True, some of them take physical form and wreak random violence. Others, however, prefer a more subtle approach.

In a dimension far removed and yet dreadfully near, there lies the Lowerarchy. The hellishness of workplace politics combined with the ruthlessness of making a sale. Or in this case, damning a soul. Those not actively seeking to bring their "clients" ever downward spend their leisure in endless autobiography. All serve their Father Below, who loves nothing so much as Himself. Guard your hearts should you come near this hell, lest they dine on your sinful soul.

Re: IDEAS

[plungeintofire]

Shifted the Lowerarchy to Everglade, and made a few tweaks, but these are both fantastic ideas that are now incorporated. Thank you!

New Location in Fayren

[celestial_wizard]

Fairy Haven
On the furthest edge of Fayren, down a road and over a small bridge in the wooded area is Fairy Haven, the newly build Guild and base of operations for the team of mages from Fiore. The building, built by Wily and his robots, is situated far enough from town that their shenanigans won't be disruptive.

The main part of the guild is the hall where people can go to make mission requests, and where the most activity occurs in the guild. It is also equipped with a storage room or two and a kitchen area. A door at the back of the hall opens into a rounded courtyard where sparring occurs, and is bracketed by a pair of dorm buildings; boys on the left, girls on the right. (Unless either gender is feeling daring). Currently there are three rooms total in each dorm, with room for expansion should more people join the guild.

OH GOD I REMEMBERED

Old Man Tanner's Scrapyard: Naturally located in the technological epicentre that is Nova City, the Scrapyard is filled to the brim with scrap metal and old, broken-down components.

Some of these components can be salvaged at the hands of a particularly skilled technician, but to the layman it's all quite useless. The yard itself is located on the outer edge of the city, because all that rust and grime smells a little gross.

Sunset Summit apartment 401 is now occupied by Temari, Gaara and Ishtar. But they might occupy apartment 402 as well if the people they expect will accept their 'housemate' invitation.

Lucifer/Kira lives in a mansion 2 blocks left of the Rabbit's Foot. There are lots of dead trees in his lawn. His gate makes an eerie and annoying sound when it is opened and has a crest in front with an 'L' engraved on it. The mansion is not too big, but it is old and close to falling apart. Lucifer is slowly transplanting a part of his angelic grace into the structure to keep it from falling apart and making it his own.

[plungeintofire]

There isn't a fourth floor at Sunset Summit; do you want to change the room to 301?

[scarletrose]

Ah, I see. 301 would be good.

Uhm... is it okay if I add one more person in the list of occupants to the sunset Summit residence? Sai will be living with them. Since Ishar will only be crashing there place once in a while.

[plungeintofire]

That's fine! Added!

[detestsliberty]

Thank you so much!!!! >u

[vampirebrat]

Regency Apartment: 401
Inhabitant/s: Duzell
Other Possible Tenants: Ishtar and Falan

[xroyal_bratx]

Ishtar is staying here as well yes :|

[devil_within]

Kazuya will be giving up any and all memories regarding his grandfather - Jinpachi - in order to call in the G Corporation HQ.

A very tall corporate tower located in a bustling metropolis that hides more than simple offices and cubicles inside. The first few floors are very typical of a business setting. Floors five through nine are all dedicated to providing for the employees that would man the building. Gyms, spas, even a swimming pool all can be found in those floors. However the tenth through eightieth floors are all dedicated to genetic research, composed of laboratories, reference archives, and more. In the basement, there are even facilities capable of assembling robots. Atop it all, however, is a floor dedicated to a single sweeping office; Kazuya's personal office. The floor also houses a penthouse designed for Kazuya's use.

[devil_within]

Oh, also, this will be in Nova City. >.>

[trainedinsambo]

Stone Ridge Apartment: 101
Inhabitant(s): Sergei Dragunov

If it's permissible, Dragunov will likely be replacing the carpeting with hardwood floors, as well as finding someone to maintain or replace the fitness equipment (as soon as he has the money to do so).

[plungeintofire]

All these things are perfectly acceptable, though the landlord will be expecting Sergei to pay for any and all improvements.

[greeedofgreen]

Uva will be creating a sub-archway to the modern day Tokyo that he comes from.

Uva will also be giving up memories of the King that ordered his creation as payment for the sub-archway. He'd like to have it opened up in Fayren.

[plungeintofire]

Are you sure you want Fayren? This is a place of high fantasy and low technology, and modern day Tokyo is better suited for Attleton or Nova City.

[greeedofgreen]

Attleton will be fine then.

[scarletrose]

Azula temporarily lives in Room 301 of the Regency.

Kurenai lives in one of the apartments in Attleton.

[tenminutes]

QUESTION!

Are there any houses that characters can purchase and move into and if so where are they / what are they like?
