Dreams in Cold Sweat... (Completely Open RP)

Iuthia

James stood alone in a white snow-filled mountainous landscape, his fair brown hair blowing in the cool air as it caressed his face with its light touch.

Before him the skyline was dominated by several mountains each one blanketted with a layer of rich white snow and maybe even a purple tip on each one, above that the sky was a burning gold as the sun set created a virgin twilight reaching far and wide.

Ahead he could see a small church maybe a short walk away from where he stood, snow crunching under his feet. The church wasn't much to look at but it was an ancient design, maybe pre-1500's in age.

Behind him he could hear the crashing of waves in the distance, while he occasionally looked back he could see, beyond the white field he had walked down, a cliff edge leading to the ocean.

Continuing forwards, James made his way to the Church to look for a priest to talk to about god, the universe and everything in it, in search for the answer he was seeking.


OOC: Once again we sail through the sub-conscious emotions of Lord General deGritz, the leader of Iuthia. Last time he fell unconscious after being shot in the leg with a DU round, his dreams were odd as he came closer and closer to death.

Now he is back in power and he is home, sleeping his troubles away after another day ruling a large nation...

Only now some of the events in his life are getting into his dreams, his various meeting with other worldly being like Rave Shentavo... who's very existance makes him question his views of the world. His near death experience back at that conference hall comes back to haunt him, a man of iron will he may be, his life was far from normal...

Basically put, tonights dream can be anything, anything can and will happen and I want to RP a thread with few rules... after all, it's a dream.

That said, I want to make sure some things are made clear.


Firstly, nothing that happens here will effect real life... unless I allow it to. By that I meen that you could affect how James sees the world but you can't heal him, kill him or kill characters based on their real (in a IC sence) counter-parts. It's a dream and if he dies in it he will just wake up in a cold sweat... if I feel the RP is too damaged to repair, this is how it ends.

Secondly, you cannot RP James directly... I have to say this to stop people making James act Out of Character... he's meant to be a general and as such he has a strong willpower and he doesn't get scared easy... though he has common sense. If you feel that he has to react, then RP it with this in mind. However anything like love or hate is down to my OOC interpretation of what he thinks.

Thirdly, No spamming, flaming or otherwise acting in a dumb OOC sense... if you need to say something OOC then feel free to do it, but not too much. Comments and suggestions are welcome, as are tags and questions.

Fourthly, have fun... you can RP anything but James... this includes the surroundings, the back ground, characters that just appear or are described... character that are not your own (e.g. from another nation) and so on.


Meh... judging from the start of this, I doubt I'll have needed to write the above because I could of done better, but it's practice I guess and you never know...
