It must be asked, what happens when a author finishes a book? When a character finishes their story, specifically. Do they cease to exist? Do they get their happy ending, are they given their eternal reward? Their souls are laid to rest?
You certainly didn’t.
Welcome to the Infinite Page. There is an endless expanse of life here, a wonderland for all to enjoy. All of them empty. Shells of forgotten characters, husks of villains, protagonists endlessly searching for new quests, hopelessly waiting to be plucked from their abysmal existence.
Genres clash, fighting for dominance over one another, in endless chaos.
Every last second, every last moment, is a whirlwind of undirected emotions. Madness. Uncertainty.
And something else lurks at the edges of the known and unknown.
But it is said there is a way out. There are whispers, written into the very page itself, of a single Author, remaining to the end. And those who stand in their presence will finally become whole. Free.
Who will you become? Who are you? Do you want to be free?
Actual Explanation: Welcome to The Page, a mashed space where old and forgotten stories, characters, and settings, are disposed of. Shunted away, never to be remembered. A purgatory, where one can start new, or slip slowly away. This place may seem to be paradise at first, but those who start to remember before will slowly slip away. But there are legends, legends of an author, a single writer, who stayed in The Page, and rumors that they are waiting to be found, and to bring whomever finds them, from the page. To free them. And you, you too shall want to be free, yes? Who wouldn’t? So chase your freedom, and either find it, or die trying.

Factions
The Unwritten: The oldest stories on the Page, they have slowly deteriorated throughout the endless eons. They are vicious, many succumbed to madness and mindlessness. Their clothing is just as feral as their minds, nothing more than rags.
Cogito Ergo Sum: A group of characters who believe themselves to be independent from their creators, they search for the Author relentlessly, wishing to destroy it, to fully proclaim their sentience, and that they are the true masters of the Page.
The Seers: Holy men and women, they provide care for the unfortunate, and they worship the Author, believing they are the key to their salvation, and their apotheosis.
The Watchers: Sentient discombobulations of geometric shapes and Lovecraftian horrors, it is unknown whether they are truly friend or foe.
The Pilgrims: Also known as The Jacks, these people wander throughout the page, wishing to discover it’s inner secrets. Along the way, they have created outposts and marketplaces, touring the endless wastes and wonderlands.
Rules
All general rules apply. Don’t be rude, don’t swear, and don’t double post.
Final say will utterly end up with me. Not trying to be a jerk, plus i can very much be reasoned with. Just don’t try something you know isn’t going to work, and expect me to go with it.
For any NOT versed well with RP etiquette, or are just bored with your usual writing.
WARNING: 1 Character per person please.
(Space for Approved Characters)
I want at a minimum 3 players, hoping for 5. Not too many, however.
