fellowshippers | portals_in_time wants more players!

portals_in_time would like more players. Things have been lagging, but we're getting them going again, and we'd love fresh blood.

It's a great game that's lots of fun with lots of opportunity to be as creative as you want. Any pup can be brought in, as long as it can be related to LotR or a LotR actor. We would love to see more pups from other games and from other movies like Pirates of the Caribbean, Hidalgo, Goldeneye, X-Men, Eternal Sunshine, Van Helsing, Troy and anything else that you can think of.

Setting: In this game, there are unlimited worlds and universes (each pup comes from a different one), and they all come together in one place, in the Great Hall at the Portal Hotel. In this Hall exist an indefinite amount of doorways, each doorway being a portal to another world. The portals area all held in a balance by "power stones" which contain a mystical force.

Plot: It seems as though the portals are out of alignment, caused when a group of the power stones (which control the opening and closing of the portals) were stolen from the Stone Room, and then cast out into space to land wherever they might. As a result, the portals are gradually, one-by-one, shutting down, and their corresponding doors disappearing from the Great Hall. Every closed door creates a greater instability in the balance of things. Fewer doors of course also mean fewer worlds, which in turn means less chances for your pup to get home. That and there remains the growing fear that eventually the instability will be great enough to close down all the portals—if that happens, your pup will be forever stranded where he/she is when they do, be it in a perfectly livable world, an inhospitable world, or in the Hotel. The only way to re-open a portal is to find and replace its power stone to the Stone Room.

For more detailed information, please see the community info page.

Who we want: Due to the nature of the game, we will take both actor and character pups. We will also take pups of actors that can be associated with LotR actors (one degree of separation only) and other characters that the LotR actors have played. So if you want to be Legolas or Frodo or Sharpe or Viggo's character in A Perfect Murder, that's fine. We will also accept up to two of any actor, as long as they come from different enough worlds.

We would particularly like to have duplicates of any of the actors that are not already duplicated.

Taken characters:

Orlando Bloom (Psychic)
Orlando Bloom (Prince)
Viggo Mortensen (Plant-whisperer)
Elijah Wood (Modern-day)
Dominic Monaghan (Modern-day)
Dominic Monaghan (Vampire)
Billy Boyd (Victorian era)
Billy Boyd (Astral Projector)
Harry Sinclair (Modern-day)
Karl Urban (Modern-day)
Craig Parker (White Lighter)
Ian McKellen (Gangster)
Kate Beckensale (Grim Reaper)
Heath Ledger (Demon)
Frodo (canon)

As you can see, only Orlando Bloom, Dominic Monaghan, and Billy Boyd are completely taken. There is also a lot of flexibility as far as any actor pups go—your imagination is the only limit as to what the pup can be. We do ask that all imaginary characters stay canon.

For complete information on how to apply, please see the community info page or email the mod.

We would especially love to see both characters and actors from Troy and Van Helsing. We have had a special request for Eric Bana.

We hope to hear from you soon!
