WELCOME TO HARMONY.
You can’t remember how you heard of this place, yet, here you are. You can remember where you came from. Maybe you’ve come to escape. Maybe you’re running from your past, your enemies, your friends, or maybe even yourself. Maybe you just want a new chance, a new life, a change of pace. Maybe you didn’t come for yourself. You came for your family, for your significant other. Maybe you came to find someone you have lost.
Maybe you didn’t come here on your own at all, and someone else brought you here. Perhaps for your own good, or maybe just to get rid of you. Maybe they want to try and change you, for better or worse. Maybe you came from a different time, place, or existence, and when the offer was given to come here, you couldn’t say no. Perhaps you were given a new lease on life, literally, a chance to do it all again. To do it all right.
No matter the reason, you are here all the same.

This place seems true to its name. Low rates of crime. Pleasant weather, beautiful landscapes and architecture. Starvation, unwanted unemployment, homelessness, war; all of these are virtual unknowns here. You can build a whole new life, if you want to.
To get in, you had to go through an interview with a man that called himself only ‘The Doctor’. He doesn’t expect money, or payment, or some kind of incentive for accepting you. All you have to do is listen.
And you find yourself listening. Perhaps enraptured, perhaps skeptical, perhaps hopeful. Perhaps impatiently or against your will. But you listen all the same.
This ‘Doctor’ offers you wonderful, fantastical things: a path back into life when you are long dead; an existence you couldn’t have in the place you came from; ways to make yourself a new existence from the body you once had; to heal you; to bring you back to your best age; to let you start over.
Or even to make you forget.
Some part of it tempts you. Your curiosity might get the better of you, or your need for a change. Your need to forget. Maybe all of it tempts you. This place is so different from where you have come. A chance to live life again, to live a life you never could have had without this place. A chance to turn back from your past and start anew.
He slides the paper towards you, and it states in clear, no uncertain terms, that there are rules to this place. They don’t seem to like much to ask to some, but to others, these rules might be detrimental, or even terrifying.
Many have walked away from those rules, unbelieving that this man could do any of the things he promises. Unbelieving that this could ever change anything, or that things would ever be better.
But you didn’t.
You read the rules, you weighed your options. You knew that signing this document might not be the best plan, but whatever your motivation, you sign your name at the bottom. Maybe you signed it almost instantly. Perhaps you took it with you home, to dissect it, try to find the loophole. Maybe someone signed it for you, forcing you to this fate. Perhaps you had no choice but to sign, unless you wanted to return to the place you already knew, or perhaps even to your grave. Maybe you signed it, fully intending to break the rules the first chance you got.
But eventually, you took that pen and signed that paper, for better or worse.
And that is where your journey begins. |
Welcome to Harmony; a newly reworked, year-running panfandom RPG. Where you are given the chance to relive, relearn; realize the dreams you could never reach. In Harmony, not everything is what it seems.
But don't worry – you can leave at any time.
We are currently accepting applications for the game's changeover on April 11th.
