RP Name - Infinite Horizons
RP url - www.infinitehorizons.ipbfree.com
Host (i.e. proboards, invisionfree, geocities, etc.) - IPBFree
Approximate member number - 29
Difficulty (easy, intermediate, difficult, or suitable for all) - Easy to difficult-- there is a minimum amount of background information that is considered mandatory to read, but much more to learn.
Activity (slow, medium, or fast) - Medium. We recently opened on a new host.
Rating (required for sites above PG-13) - PG-13 and above.
Are auditions of some sort required? - No.
Is there some sort of plot? If so, what is it? - In myths and stories, the magerath were said to be the first inhabitants of Earth, a race who occupied it long before humans. They built Gateways, transports from their world to Earth, in areas of strong spiritual energy, 'leylines.' As the humans came to exist, the magerath blended into society. In later centuries the humans encountered the magerath. Witch burnings and executions ensued.
As their presence faded, the magerath fled or blended, and the leaders of the killings and revolts ceased their crusades, the presence of the magerath was all but forgotten, save in legends and myths.
Centuries later, after countless advancements and losses, humanity began to colonize space and terraform planets they deemed suitable for their growing population, a "Great Migration." Just when humanity had seen a bit of peace they made contact with a familiar race: the magerath, prideful and exotic people of the planet Xel Kyan. The Earthlings saw this as an opportunity: a chance to recreate themselves. To redeem their Earth from the dust ball it had become and reverse their mistakes. The magerath had appeared from their home to avenge their ancestors in the form of nothing short of a crusade.
War ignited. People chose sides, alliances. This continued for fifteen years.
Nautilus, a military corporation of growing proportions, ceased the conflicts. A lull of peace fell upon the universe--but not for all. In this period, the Republic, an interstellar government, and the Alliance, a ring of opposed factions and rebels, was born.
Present day, 2385: Earth is all but a wasteland. New planets and races have been discovered. Humans are not the only intelligent race. Bitterness still lies between the humans and magerath. The half-bloods remain to be persecuted against, though with subtler means. Corruption lies within the Republic. The Alliance is becoming more apparent. The supernatural and unexplainable entwines with life. The Mageran Empire faces conflict within its Houses and violence veiled behind a guise of secrecy.
War has arrived.
The horizons have expanded.
Forget the past-- save the future.
RP era and type (war, etc.) - IH is set 300 years into the future, where humanity has imploded upon itself and expanded. There is friction among all the factions struggling for control in the universe.
Are beings other than humans allowed? If so, what type? - Yes, original races. Humans, magerath, biosynthetic humanoids, cyborgs...
Is magic allowed? - Yes, psionics.
Other - Even if you're not too into science fiction, we have a more future fantasy feel. Try IH out-- you may be surprised.
