The Concept
Choices. We make them every day. Yes or no. Left or right. Chinese food or pizza. Should I stay or should I go? We make them without even realizing it, and they have shaped and molded us into the people we are today.
But as long as there have been choices, there has been the nagging question: ”How would my life be if I had done just one thing differently?” We’ve all asked it. Even you. What if I had said yes instead of no? Went right instead of left? Had pizza instead of Chinese? The concept of “What if...” has been around for as long as anyone can remember, but it’s always been just that; a concept.
But what if it wasn’t anymore?
The Experiment
Dr. Joshua Ryson. You may not know his name, at least not now, but when you hear about his life’s work, you’ll never forget him. It was Ryson’s idea to do an experiment based off of the “What if ...” concept. First he created the place; a “town” called Utopia. But what was a town without citizens? So he brought in people. Not just average joe’s like you and me, though. He brought in characters from different types of media; video games, books, movies, tv, and altered their history, their memories. Dr. Ryson changed one decision that each of these people made, and sat back and watched how it affected their lives and the lives of those around them. Because your choices don’t just affect you. They affect everyone you know.
Of course, they have no idea what’s going on. They have no idea that anythings been changed; they just think that’s how their life has always been. They have no idea that they’re every move is being monitored, and recorded, for science.
The Explanation
This game takes your favorite characters from literature, cinema, television, and video games and lets you decide how their life turned out. Maybe they didn’t sleep with someone. Maybe they did. Maybe their lives were changed by the simple choice of where to eat breakfast. For example, if Lilly Kane never slept with Aaron Echolls, there would have been no sex tapes to find and Lilly would have lived. This means that no one who comes in from after her death would be aware she died. Please consider the ways other characters decisions from your fandom would affect your character when applying.
The decision must be one made by your character, weather conscious or not. Also keep in mind that your character will not be the only one affected by this decision. Everyone in their lives will be changed by this. Also, just because your character’s history has been rewritten, it will not change their overall personality, or their sexuality, so keep it canon.

WELCOME TO A WORLD OF DISSIDENCEYou may not remember how long you have been here. In fact, you may not remember anything at all — neither your past nor much of your present. What is clear to you, however, is why you are here.
You are a Chosen.
Every minute of life, Creation is threatened; Order and Discord are constantly battling to overcome one another. It is a war that has been waged by the gods since the beginning of creation, with neither side having been able to achieve a permanent victory. It is said that such a win is impossible, but the gods are tenacious. The struggle became bloodier and more desperate than it had ever been before and the deities began to take drastic measures they had not considered before in order to ensure victory over their foes. That is why they chose you to lead them in this round of the fight. It is their hope that you will be able to succeed where they have failed. They brought you to their realm to do battle with their enemies and with fellow Chosen who have proven themselves to be dangerous pawns in the war.
Now, dark agents of chaos from every corner of existence are very near to accomplishing their goal of plunging the universes in discord. The soldiers of light and order continue to fall and their armies have grown small and fragile due to changes of allegiance and transient deaths instigated by the legions of bedlam. Loyalty to those who have enlisted them no longer hold sway over the Chosen.
In this our most critical hour, what will you fight for?
