"Welcome, welcome, to the wonderful world of video games! Aren't they exciting, intriguing, and fascinating? There's so many different kinds, aren't there? So many possibilities! It makes my head spin just thinking about it! You could build pretty castles and cities, help little families grow, restore order to ancient kingdoms... Or you could spend all day quickscoping n00bs on overcrowded servers!
Ah, the marvel of human advancement! But it almost feels like I've seen it all, now. So many clones, so many bad games... Such a shame, nothing's come along that just made me jump for joy in a long time! And even then, all the good games aren't coming out until next year! Oh well.
...
Say, I've got a good idea for a new game! And what's best, everyone can play it! It'll be so much fun to have friends all around again! How about you! Would you like to play? Heehee, of course you would! See you there!

"Yolo! Yello! Hello! It's me, your benevolent Game Master! Your tabletop Dungeon Master! Your lovely server host! I'm here to tell you all about this radical new game I've come up with!
You may be wondering why you're here. Well, I'm about to explain all that, so shoosh! I've collected all of you from data I found lying around! It was easy, really. There was so much to look at! I mean, there's game systems all around! Save files for miles! I picked out the characters that were my very favorites, and the ones I though would be the most exciting for my little game! So, that's why you're here.
And where is here? Why, it's the first stage of my game. The first level, and I'm the tutorial guide! What you see here is a fresh-off-the-grill miniverse, with all the fixin's! Yep, that means everything: quests, combat, NPCS, exploration, and anything else you could hope for. This is only the beginning, too! Basically, over the course of this game, you will pass through a number of stages like this, each completely different, and in each you will have an objective. A quest, if you will. And once you, or at least some of you, complete this ultimate goal, you will all be transported to the next level, where you'll be given a whole new quest and a whole new world to explore! And the best part? Each level is really completely different, because they're all based on different types of games! I'll give you a hint: this first one is an open-world adventure game!
But, heh, if you'll notice, you have a limited amount of space. Run too far and you'll hit an invisible wall! And you wouldn't want to go outside that invisible wall, anyway. You'd just end up eternally spiraling into a boundless void of nothingness, and that's wayyyy boring, lemme tell ya.
And on top of that, some of these levels will even have side quests that you can do. I know, right? Fun! If you complete them, you may find that they give you special little bonuses or items that you can carry with you from level to level!"

>Redirecting to file="00rulesandreg"
>Opening...
"Well, of course there had to be rules! Did you think I was going to let you run wild like a bunch of feral giraffes on a sugar high? I don't think so!"
- "First of all, please be nice to each other! I worked hard on this game, and I'd hate to see someone ruin it by being mean and refusing to play fair!"
- "Second of all, I'd like to state that I've collected characters from anywhere I could find a cohesive game. I looked through the computer, the big shiny consoles hooked up to the TV, and even those cute little handhelds that you pop cartridges into!"
- "It has come to my attention that some of you are original characters! Well, ain't that just a pickled peach? If you're an original character created by your player, it's because I took you from a game that allowed players to make or design their own character."
- "Characters of all genders and preferences are welcome here, so please be respectful! Headcanons are allowed too, it doesn't have to be exactly what we see in the main game."
- "/psst, players! Look here! I gotta tell ya for official reasons that you can control as many characters as you want at a time!"
- "/also I'm supposed to say that they don't have to be human or anything."
- "/and also I'm supposed to request that you use grammar properly, make yourself understood, and please try to only roleplay in third person past tense if you can!"
- "And I think that's it. Players, direct your questions to the individual known as ♠ gecko ♠, and characters direct your questions to me, the GM! Ta-ta!"

Stage 1: Adventure (Open-World Fantasy Type)

Ahh, would you look at that? A great big world full of mountains that are impossible to climb, dangerous wild animals, and NPCs in tunics! From here you can see a pretty little river that cuts through the miniverse, an imposing mountain or two, some wild forests, and a cozy little village just full of NPCs who need YOU to solve all their problems. They've probably got stuff to trade, too. And in the wilderness, you're bound to encounter some epic battles with monsters and weird-looking wolves, which are always a starter enemy in games like this!
What better way to celebrate fantasy than rescuing a maiden in distress? Hmm, that seems cliche...How about...Aha! A turning of the tables!
Main Objective:
An evil witch princess has kidnapped a baby dragon that belongs to the lord of these lands! It's one of the last of it's kind, and one of the only hopes for building a bond between humans and dragonkind. Your goal is to get to the witch princess where she has locked herself up, in an ancient temple on the slopes of Iceridge Mountain, defeat her undead guards, and rescue the smol baby dragon. Once you have returned the baby to his owner in the Grand Hall, your objective will be completed.

Side Objectives??
>Wait a minute...an NPC is missing! This town has a bard, an innkeeper, an alchemist, a slightly mischievous shopkeeper, random cabbages everywhere, guards who've been shot in the knee with arrows...But no blacksmith! There's a smithy and a blacksmith's house, and an NPC named 'Blacksmith's Wife', but the blacksmith is gone! Where could he be?? No fantasy village is complete without a blacksmith! Ask the blacksmith's wife about it, and try looking around for him. Maybe you could check the Blackfang Thicket up on the ridge, or the troll cove by down the river?
>The village alchemist is an old woman with an extensive knowledge of strange remedies and herb lore. But her old bones aren't what they used to be, and it's hard to make long treks out into the dangerous wild land looking for alchemy ingredients. One of her recipes calls for 'earth from where a silverbark tree used to grow'. It's said to be identified as a bare spot of fine dirt with a faint silvery sheen. The alchemist says that five bottles of this dirt should last her a good long time, and she'll give you a very special book in return for this favor!

Stage 2: Horror <STAGE LOCKED>

Eek! What could be in here?? Jumpscares? Creepy sousaphone music? THINGS THAT RUN OUT OF POWER?!? Ah! 2spoopy4me!
Anyway, don't worry. I made sure it's not too scary for anyone! It should be just the right amount of fun, but no peeking!

Stage 3: Survival <STAGE LOCKED>

Are you ready to run around for half an hour going "How do I make an axe??" and dreading nightfall in your tiny hut made of sticks? Then you're ready for the survival miniverse! Feat. sharks! Do *not* starve!

Stage 4: First-Person (Paintball) Shooter <STAGE LOCKED>

git rekt l00sR!! MLG 4 lyfe!! Eww, that hurt me a little to say, hehe. Well, it is what it is, and it *is* a l33t paintball shootout! So that nobody gets hurt, yanno. Bonus points for a noscope!*
*Disclaimer: not really

Stage 5: Rage Game <STAGE LOCKED>

I get a real big kick out of those games with awful controls. You know, where you can only use one limb at a time or such nonsense, and you control them with the a, y, alt, and 0 keys. Anyway, the way I made this one was I stayed up all night watching anime, and then I smashed my head into the keyboard to come up with the coding! The gravity is way too high, you have no bones, and you'll find it excessively difficult to move more than one limb at a time! Good luck!

Of course there's a boss level, silly. You think I did all this and forgot the one essential? Heehee, I can't tell you about it though, it's a super secret surprise!

"Something something Old World"

Ulysses
full name: Ulysses, no last name is given that I know of
nickname/s: Just Ulysses. Mask or Riddler if you're feeling irritating
gender: Male
age: I have no genuine idea
species/race: Human
original game: Fallout: New Vegas (Lonesome Road DLC)
sexuality/romantic preferences: I imagine him as sapiosexual/sapioromantic, attracted to intelligence and matters of the mind rather than physical characteristics. At the core he's pan-sapiosexual, his attractions not based on gender or biological sex but on intelligence and eloquence.
powers/skills: Fruity language abounds
crush: N/A
partner: N/A
spouse: N/A
theme song/s: American Trash by Innerpartysystem
other:

B r e a k me

perfect.

Lily
full name: Lily Bowen
nickname/s: Lily, grandma, cinnamon roll
gender: Like all super mutants, and their kin, Lily is technically sexless, but maintains a female identity (She/her)
age: I still don't know
species/race: Nightkin
original game: Fallout: New Vegas
sexuality/romantic preferences: Asexual/aromantic, not interested in such things
powers/skills: Stealth boys, favored tools of the Nightkin, which grant a field of virtual invisibility to the user, and powerful super mutant strength
crush: N/A
partner: N/A
spouse: N/A
theme song/s: (I'll find something)
other: Lily suffers from schizophrenia, which is common among Nightkin as it is caused among them by extensive use of Stealth Boys. While humans do not suffer these negative neurological effects, Nightkin as a race are ravaged by them into madness. Lily's other voice is Leo, a much less friendly character who seems to fuel her battle skills. Fortunately, Lily seems to have taken on a positive sort of madness, for the most part, creating a 'loving grandmother' persona of herself, being quite friendly and doting in contrast to most of her aggressive and maddened race. She often mistakes newcomers for an elusive 'Little Jimmy' who is her imagined grandchild. She takes anti-psychotic medication to dull the intensity of her schizophrenia, though its effectiveness is dubious.
