portals_in_time is looking for players!

We're sort of a different type of game in that we will take any character that you can think of, real person or fictional character, as long as said character is an adult in his or her world. They can be from a book, television show, or movie. It doesn't matter if they're related in any way, shape, or form to any of the other characters already in the game. We'd love to have anyone.

If you have a pup that has lost his or her game and you'd love to continue him or her with the same background, this is the game for you. If you have a pup you've been dying to play from an obscure fandom, we'd love to have him (or her)! As long as the pup isn't already in the game, we'll allow it! (And we allow up to two of each real person to be in the game at a time provided their background is sufficiently different.)

This is not a fast paced game. We've been almost dead for a bit here, but we're trying to get things going again. All that we ask is that you be able to post once per calendar month. That's it.

Now, just a few notes on the game:

Setting/Plot/etc:

portals_in_time is a time-travel, 'lost in another world' game, based loosely on elements from the RiftWar Saga of books written by Raymond Feist. It's therefore assumed that each pup will have a personal goal of "getting home," that is, if there's any way for them to get back to their own world. However, since that's really too easy, just world-hopping alone, there's also a central plot that can and will eventually affect every pup in the game.

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 means fewer worlds, which in turn means fewer 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.
