User blog:HS664/HS664's Roleplay Settings

This is an idea I've wanted to introduce for a long time. Since Continuity errors tend to rise from roleplay to roleplay, I thought that we should just create backstory's for Roleplay Worlds. This can also apply to fanfic world's for individusl users. Of course the idea is optional, but it could be a very helpful.

What's needed
For this to work, a Roleplay setting will need huge details of the world the characters are on. This includes the Geography, the Nations, the features of the World/Universe, and what characters are native to this world.

If making a Roleplay world, you might want to make rules to help stabilize the continuity.

Here's my example:

HS664's World
This World contains two planets of great intrest. Earth and Mobius. These planets are remarkably similar to eachother, but seem to share no relation with eachother other than that.

Natives

 * RedToxic
 * Alcagorn the Black
 * Shockwave the Dark

Geography
Earth is quite similar to the planet of the same name that the human race lives on. It has most of Earth's Countries except for a few. The United States is replaced with the United Federation, and almost all the locations from the pokemon series exist. Some outland areas do exist. There is Westside Island, a lowly inhabited island with extreme biodiversity.

Species

 * Humans
 * Mobians (referred to as Animals or Humans)
 * Dragons (rather rare)
 * Elder Dragons (practically extinct)
 * Pokemon

Culture
The United Federation is rather similar to the United States in culture and government, just not geography. In fact, every country and region is near identical to itself in the real world.

Two cultures exists in modern times: Humans and Mobians. Please note that Mobians are usually referred to as animals or humans.

Humans are (Am I really going to need to describe this to you? If you're reading this, you're likely a human already or a space alien who is aware of the existance of them) the main species on the planet. The best and worst are found among humans. They have no special alinment whatsoever. Everything can be found among humans, whether good, evil, lawful, chaotic, war hungry, peaceful, hippes, criminals, terrorists and just about everything.

Humans tend to have no special abilities whatsoever. While Mutant Humans (Mutant is a very broad term used to refer to any being with unnatural powers) are not nearly as common as Mutant Mobians, they are still as powerful and dangerous. Mutant humans tend to use Magic more than anything else, but they still have a wide range of powers.

Humans are philosophically very power hungry by nature.

Mobians are anthropomorphic animals with human level intellegence. Wherever you can find a human, you can usually find Mobians and vice-versa. There is little to no racism between the two races. While many different Mobians exist, hybrids are not too uncommon. The genetic difference between the many different species is little enough to allow usually one or two generations of crossbreeding.

Mobians are usually Mutants more often than humans. Unlike humans, they seem to have no trend among what powers they usually have as mutants.

Mobians are not nearly as diverse as humans, but not far behind. They tend to have more animalistic tendencies and features than normal. They also tend to act like rather civilized animals though.

And finally...

Mutants.

Mutants are any lifeform with unnatural powers in comparison to normal Humans and Mobians. This term seems rather derogative, but the unanimous governments of the world agree that mutants are a large potential threat. Each Government has it's own way with dealing with mutants. Some choose to let them roam free, while others executes thousands a day. The United Federation tends to lock up and execute most mutants.

Continuity Rules
Remember:These are not everyones. Just mine
 * Fanfic's take precedence over all other Roleplays
 * Continuity going into the Roleplay's doesn't matter, as long as the roleplay in question started before the beginning the Roleplay using this setting.
 * When two canon's clash (such as the same setting being shared by multiple users) the creator of the setting and the creator of the Roleplay (if they aren't the same person).

Opinions
Remember guys, this is a huge WIP. If this idea catches on, it could be a great improvement to the roleplay system. I'd also love some critism, and ways this idea could grow (just be nice).

If you must, ask questions. I'll be happy to answer them.
