Basic Gist:
You play as a comatose person transported to a mash up world made by the minds of yours and other comatose peoples. You’re stuck in the world until you can find your way back to your body. If your body dies, you’re stuck. If your die while you’re in the world, your mind dies and your body becomes a vegetable. The Basic storyline is a traveling quest like adventure to get those who can go back, back to their bodies.
There’s a bit more info hidden in the spoiler *points to the spoiler below*
Some Notes/Rules/Reminder/Statement/Clarification Like Things:
When I say Mash up world I mean mash up world. You wanna be a Pokémon trainer? Go for it. Oh, you want to be a vampire hunting, alien half breed, Pokémon trainer, with a tinge of elven looks and dark shadowy mage like magics of doom, who can turn into a giant slavering slug, god of sex, who spent time among the my little pony people, that happens to own a hovercraft and the twin sword of Excalibur? Cool. Go for it…..Try not to slaver on my character, and keep mature stuff in mature areas.
Don’t over power your characters, just, don’t. It’s no fun if you do.
No one HAS to play a fresh coma patient. Your character could have been in the world for a while. They could even be a denizen of the world and stuck already.
NPC’s: Anyone is more than welcome to make one and throw it in somewhere, if ya’ll want I can keep a list of them in the OCC
The world itself is also playable, if someone wants to add a kingdom made entirely of candy, its okay. Or if they want an upside down land, that’s okay to. Just give a good bit of description whenever the group(s) get to it. Or hunt down an image to post up. I’ll add it to the list of established places once it’s been, well, established.
This is going to be pretty much group ran. I don’t have a detailed plot mapped out. I have a few basic points that we need to connect to and that’s seriously about it. Collaboration and input from everyone is greatly appreciated. However, folks should remember, their character isn’t the only main character. This story is about all of our characters. Don’t hog the limelight.
Things that get turned into an issue: if it concerns the entirety of the group, or a portion of the group, it will be put to a vote by those who will be affected. If it’s just between two people you can either trust a neutral party for a coin flip or do a die roll thing, highest number wins.
There’s not going to be a posting order, but let’s try to give everyone a chance, alright? Time zones and different schedules = different posting times. So don’t get too far ahead of the rest of the group. However, let the story keep pace.
That being said: People may disappear for random periods of time. Keep your cool! There’s going to be a two week call, even if it’s a player of high influence. No character killing per se, but whoever hasn’t replied for two weeks just kind of poofs. It doesn’t mean they’re out, they can come back to play when they make another reply. But when they come back, they need to have an excuse for why their character poofed and how they got back to the group. During that two week waiting period, it should be assumed the character is with the group, just keeping to themselves for some odd reason.
OCC Areas: Keep it friendly. If there’s a disagreement, be cordial about it. If you have criticism, first ask if it’s even wanted, then state it in a polite manner. Don’t slam people. Don’t stress anyone else out. It’s JUST for fun. Don’t get ya’lls knickers in a knot.. I want a nice, comfy environment for everyone, got it? Oh, also, you should probably, ya know, remember the Iwaku rules that govern us all. We wouldn’t want anyone to get in trouble.
If there are questions, ask, and if my spelling/grammar is too awful bad, please forgive me. This was made late in the night while I was cramming for a math exam.

For some of you, the last thing you saw was a tree coming at your face in speeds that your mind couldn’t quite comprehend. For others, maybe you were just walking along and got it from behind. Whatever happened, it happened and now comes the similarity in your different stories. Your body now lies in a bed at the local hospital. Sobs may or may not be echoing through the same room as the news is delivered. You’re in a coma, and there’s no guarantee you’ll be waking up anytime soon.
While this is news is being delivered, something else is also occurring. If there isn’t too much brain damage, you’ve began to dream. This isn’t an ordinary dream though. When a person goes into a comatose state their mind “enters”, or perhaps it’s more like “connects”, into an alternate space. Here, there’s a world, made, and continuously being made and remade again, by other comatose people. It’s a world that holds countless imprints of countless imaginations. It’s a fantastic world. Different races, creatures, foods, technologies, places, buildings, and anything the mind could possibly imagine can come into being in this world. In this world, it’s very possible you’ll meet other comatose patients, or people who used to be comatose patients.
However, this world is also a holding cell for the minds of comatose people . If you can find your way out of this world, and back into your own mind, you’ll wake up. You have until your body dies to make it back. If your body dies while you’re still trapped in this collaborative world, your mind becomes a permanent denizen of it, forever trapped. Some people, however, don’t even try to get back, they find they rather like this new world and they choose to stay.
Time is different in this world, it has seasons, wacky ones even. It also has a calendar (that always seems to shift slightly). However, no one in this world ever ages, this can let some denizens be hundreds of years old, some may even date back to the begging of mankind. When someone does happen to die in this world, seeing as its their mind that’s in the world, it’s their mind that dies. This can leave their bodies to become nothing but vegetables in the real world, an existing shell and nothing more.
Before a mind enters this world, it finds itself in a space between its body and the comatose world. Here, they come to a vague understanding of what is going on. This is also when a mind will design itself an image. Some people compare this to creating a new character in a game. The mind will ask itself questions as it scrambles to create itself an appearance. This appearance doesn’t always correlate to what the person looks like in the real world. Some find themselves being animals, others random pieces of technology; once again, they can be anything that they can imagine. They can give themselves powers and abilities, they can decide what is on their person. When this is done, sometimes it can be done quickly, others, it may take forever; the mind is ready to enter the world.
When a mind enters a world, it literally falls from the sky, usually in a fallen star-esque way, lots of light, colors, and the like. The mind doesn’t have its physical form quite yet, its literally just the radiance of a human mind that’s being seen as it crashes down into the Field of Landing However, once the crash is complete, before the smoke clears away, the body the mind made for itself will have appeared. When it’s time to leave, the mind will leave in much the same way, it’ll look as if a star is shooting from the world and back into the sky from the tower of Ascending.
After you’re in this world, however, your mind’s imagination become s a little more constricted, no longer able to just make things out of thin air (unless you designed yourself that way in the beginning) The mind still has subtle influences, but it takes much longer for them to come into being. However, there are places called “Mind Mills” that everyone can visit, for a price. Once someone enters a mind mill, they’re able to be restored back to the creative creating power they first experienced when designing themselves. But this restoration only lasts for the time one lingers inside of the mill.
While you’re in this world, occasionally, you’ll catch feedback from the real world. For example, maybe your mother comes in and reads to you every Sunday afternoon. At times, you may be able to hear her reading, or you’ll catch a whiff of her perfume. These often times serve as reminders that you don’t really belong to this fantastical world of ceaseless wonders and that you have a home waiting for you to get back to.

Ex: Sallys net has crashed for a month. And so, a month later she gets back online.
Step 1 for Sally: Read what she missed. Or get a summery from someone.
Step 2: It’d be nice to post in the OCC that she’s back in action.
Step 3: Come up with why her character was gone. “Sometime in the middle of the night Serafina was awoken by footsteps, fearing for the safety of her comrades, she jumped into action and pursued the noise, only to be led straight into a trap set by Goblin like creatures! Time passed as Serafina tried her hardest to escape her fate. Finally, the day before the execution she saw her chance and slipped away from the terrible village. More time passed as the distressed unicorn tried her hardest to sniff out her comrades. Until finally, one night she spotted a fire flickering in the distance, with caution, the unicorn approached and with an equine smile, she pranced into the light emitted from the fire, calling a greeting as she was reunited with her comrades. …… ect……
Step 4: try to make steady posts for at least a week or two before disappearing again.
That concludes my tutorial for catching up.

Established Places in World:
The In Between: The space in between a person’s body and the World. This is where appearances/ vessels/ bodies are made to house the mind during its stay in the World.
The World: An alternate space that houses and connects the minds of all comatose humans until they wake up. (for more information, see InABitMoreDetail Spoiler above) Main setting of the story. Is constantly being added to and changed.
The field of Landing: (Story Begins) This is where new Minds land when they first enter the World.
The Tower of Ascending: (Goal to reach) It is said, once you find your way, you’re transported to this ever moving tower and that’s how you ascend back into your body. If this tower is even a tower is unknown. No one who has ever found it ever returned to tell the people of the World.
Birthdale: (Story Begins) The town nearest to the Field of Landing. It’s a bright bustling town full of fairly friendly people who are used to explaining things to newbies. The town hall, the largest building, looks like a giant falling star, seen from miles around. To the west of Town Hall is a futuristic city, and to the right looks like a village out of an old Disney movie. Along the center line, the town hall in the middle of it, the two sides bleed together to make an interesting hodge podge of a main road.
Introduction Inn: An Inn that’s free for new minds in the world. The staff are specialized just for the occasion of newbies and their questions. “The foods hot and the company’s just as confused as you!.” Building wise, it looks like a charming old country inn, with a stable to the side. Inside, however, furniture and furnishings are futuristic enough to be simple and comfortable.
Town Hall: Looks like a giant falling star (probably in honor of the Landing Field) This building houses all of the towns governmental offices and the bank. The towns Mind Mill (See above somewhere) is also in this building.
Mystgrove: Surrounded by thick, misty forest on all sides, this town, instead of being on the ground, is made up of a vast network of treehouses.
Atlantis: The City Beneath the Sea. A futuristic city that rests in an air globe deep beneath The Alantiria Ocean.

Name: Orina Starburst
Appearance: Orina stands at an emposing height of seven and a half foot with a strong build lurking beneath her clothes.
&
Her dragon form is large than a three story house.
Race: Dragoon of the Amazons
Bit of a Bio:
Orina is the intimidating mayor of Birthdale. She’s been around the world for a very long time, long enough that she’s long lost count of the years. The woman is known to be peaceful and nurturing; until you break one of her rules or threaten Birthdale. Then, it is said, her wrath burns hotter than a thousand suns and longer than a millennia. The woman is known to wield a sword nearly larger than herself and to possess very strong magics. She is never seen without her armor.
Orina has ruled over Birthdale as the mayor for nigh on over 500 years. When she was first given the position, Birthdale was overrun by those who sought to take advantage of the newly arrived. Orina put a stop to this, going so far as to wage a war with any nearby groups that would dare threaten the newly descended.
After five years, Orina had the surrounding area subdued. (Given, half of it was also scorched black) After the first fie years of Orinas rule, Birthdale slowly began to flourish. It continued to do so at a steadily pace from that point on until it became known throughout the world as a peaceful, successful city. However, whenever an outside force attempted to overrun the peaceful city, a reminder of why it was peaceful would befall them in the form of dragon fire.
