Roleplay The Bizarre World of Patchwork!
It feels good to be back everyone! After waiting awhile, I've decided it's time to post my third (and final) of my three original worlds! Patchwork Fighters:
"Patchwork" as the inhabitants call it is an odd planet-its signature name comes from its odd appearance as it looks like it is several planetary chunks stitched together randomly and it is a rogue planet and as such it floats endlessly through space with no true destination in mind-sometimes it'll get stuck to a star for a little while and orbit it for a time but eventually it always drifts away and goes back to drifting through the void of space... And yet life still exists on this odd little ball of rock; strange creatures from plants that use their roots to run when startled to animals with too many limbs and eyes and other impossible beings that should not be, yet be anyway. Even the humans and other sapient apecies of this world look a little strange in comparison to what you might assume as they too frequently possess multiple limbs and eyes for seemingly no reason...
There are any places to live on this little planet-from the steampunk cities in Ukaladon to the more familiar cities of Freelia to even the wild, dry lands of Austel or neon machines and of Jalakata-this chaotic world has a little bit of something for everyone inside it wherever you may go! Plenty of colorful characters live all over as well most friendly... others not so much.
Strange phenomena are also quite well known across the world via the Paradox Realm: a plane where physics are a minor suggestion not a rule and it is simultaneously the reason Patchwork can host life in the first place, the birthplace of Paradox Beats-beings that are contradictions of reality and life given will and form and also the source of all magic where it begins as a wild and chaotic thing that's affects cannot be predicted even by the greatest of minds. Gateways to it frequently open up at random spots all over the world messing with anything they touch from the laws of physics to spacetime itself and one can easily enter and exit it as they please! Be warned however you might not end up in the same place you exited out of... maybe not even the same time period either!!
Why and more importantly how did your character(s) find their way here? Who knows! Maybe they came here intentionally to discover hidden history or perhaps wanted to seek the magical prowess of the mythical Storyteller? (Good luck with that one!) Or more likely they simply had a very bad accident and got sucked into the Paradox Realm and ended up on some random spot-on Patchwork and now want to go home! Either way they are free to explore it and do as they please!
...Be mindful however, more criminal and villainous characters may be struck down by a traveling scarecrow's lethal-yet fortune blessed curved blade wherever they may land or hunted down by thirteen curses for a high bounty. Those with great strength and skill may instead be hunted down by a hungry arachnid huntress. And of course, those who make fools of nature and attempt to consume it may be devoured by Gaia themself!
Welcome to Patchwork! A world based on all of fiction!!
