It’s supposed to be the golden age of England. Harriet Jones leading the way. But she isn’t. Rumors of her ill health have made the citizens uneasy. In comes the man of the hour, Harold Saxon. He’s brilliant, charming and just so… good. The world looks to him to take a larger role in politics. And he’s not one to disappoint. He’s running for Prime Minister and most everyone are just counting the days. Those few who aren’t enthralled with his amazing greatness are too few to really matter. Everyone knows who will win the election and Harold Saxon promises he will change the world.
Welcome to Year of Paradox.
The game will start as Saxon is running for Prime Minister. His winning the election is fixed (will happen in game) as is his taking over the Earth. Anything after that is free form. The implementation of the paradox machine will make unexpected ripples, affecting the rift in Cardiff in an unusual way. As such the rift will be bringing through people two months before the activation of the paradox and a month or so after the activation. There will be no new arrivals after two months after the activation of paradox. New characters from other places may be brought in game but they would have been ‘off screen’ and on the Earth during that time.
This tear in the rift means that people can bring in characters from realities other than Doctor Who or Torchwood. They can even bring in future characters and OC’s. However, we will be limiting the genre’s involved. This is mostly so we can make sure that the feeling of the game remains. No character should be able to easily deal with the Toclafane. They are the major threat in the game and should be dealt with as such. WE have a tentative listing of genre’s but if you want to play someone from one not listed, contact a mod with some information on the genre and we will consider whether or not the character will be allowed.
This game is a dark adult RPG. There will be death, violence and other adult concepts. While some posts may be lighthearted, we ask that any R posts be friend-locked. Also, as mentioned there will be death, a lot of death. Your character may die, especially high risk characters (IE Torchwood, or people the master is looking for.) and characters that engage in high risk behavior. (IE attacking the Toclafane, being known for going against the Master) Also we ask that everyone consider making a character that they know will die. (Especially for the huge 10% death attack). It would be nice to have characters that other characters actually care about die in the game. We are going for a realistic dark world under the control of the Master and his Toclafane.
