The HMS Surprise is a multi-fandom RPG that is based on the promise of adventure, working together, and character development. You are on a spaceship in the middle of cosmic nowhere - the month is present on the calendar, but the year is unimportant, and thus unlisted. You have been provided with a small apartment including a private bathroom, bedroom, and living area. A few of your possessions from home have made the trip, and you have been granted a communicator that both accesses the network, the ship's database, and whatever passes for the Internet in the unspecified year.
The ship is capable of holding 100 crew and passengers, is outfitted with everything a person requires to meet their basic needs: there is a cafeteria and kitchen on the B deck, along with the gymnasium, library, and med bay. The ship's crew is standing by, ready to offer any assistance or answer any questions that you may have.
Except...
There's hardly any members of the crew to speak of. There's one or two along with the ship's computer manifested as a hologram, and while they're helpful, that's about it. No one knows why the ship is mostly empty or what happened to her former crew, but the fact of the matter is, she's still going to rescue people and she's still going to make frequent stops on alien planets or jump through time. The multiverse isn't supposed to break and that even makes the stars themselves unstable and unpredictable. The unexpected needs to be expected and if you want to survive, you're going to have to take matters into your own hands and join the effort to keep the HMS Surprise running. Her mission is to find you a new home – the least you could do is show her the same mutual respect.
Wanted Characters: Sam and Dean Winchester, Rory Williams, Willow Rosenberg, Angel, Xander Harris, or any Star Trek, Star Wars, or Mass Effect characters. Other fandoms such as The Walking Dead, Sherlock, or The Vampire Diaries are entirely welcome.

Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in.
Since the dawn of time, storytellers have enchanted audiences with their words. But there is an even rarer gift. There are those who, by reading out loud, can bring characters to life. Out of books and into our world. Most of these people prefer to keep their skills a secret but some do not even know this gift is theirs, until it is too late.
You know how your story begins, do you know how it ends?
Have you ever invested weeks, months, or perhaps years into character development only for a game to suddenly lose interest? For things to go awry and you choose to part ways? Are you sitting in a game that you've lost interest in simply because you don't wish to lose all that character development?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then Spinning Compass is for you!
We at Spinning Compass allow character development from any game. From Insane Journal? Approved! From Live Journal? Approved! From Dreamwidth? Approved! It doesn't matter what journal format they come from, your character will be approved!
We also accept Original Characters, and any canon fandom characters.
Character approval pending application acceptability.
Books are adventure! They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them.
