Lol, shameless plug
Guys, srsly. Planescape. It's awesome, and it's all sorts of dead right now.
A flash of light, a crackling of sound like lightning in the air, and suddenly you are not where you were before. The city's sky is crimson, and... people walk all about you, oblivious to your plight. Strange and wondrous creatures wander past you, all blithely ignoring your pleas for aid.
It is then that a gnarl-toothed old beggar walks up to you, grinning madly. "Oi, berk, ye be a prime, right? Aye, I can see it by the looks o' ye."
He steps closer to you, and you can smell his breath, hideous and foul.
"Then lemme be the first to welcome ya to Sigil. Aye... Th City o' Doors be where ye are now.
Hope yer ready."
The Location
Sigil is located atop the Spire in the Outer Planes. It has the shape of a torus; the city itself is located on the inner surface of the ring. There is no sky, simply an all-pervasive light that waxes and wanes to create day and night. Sigil cannot be entered or exited save via portals; although this makes it quite safe from any would-be invader, it also makes it a prison of sorts for those not possessing a portal key. Thus, many call Sigil "The Bird Cage" or "The Cage". Though Sigil is pseudo-geographically located "at the center of the planes" (where it is positioned atop the infinitely tall Spire), scholars argue that this is impossible since the planes are infinite in all dimensions, and therefore there can never truly be a center to any of them, let alone all of them; thus, Sigil is of no special importance. Curiously, from the Outlands one can see Sigil atop the supposedly infinite Spire.
Sigil contains innumerable portals: any bounded opening (a doorway, an arch, a barrel hoop, a picture frame) could possibly be a portal to another plane, or to another point in Sigil itself. Thus, the city is a paradox: it touches all planes at once, yet ultimately belongs to none; from these characteristics it draws its other name: "The City of Doors".
About
Planescape X is panfandom RP that takes place in the multiversal Dungeons and Dragons setting of Sigil. X in this case is a variable, with infinite possibilities. This denotes the panfandom aspect of Planescape X, meaning we're not purely a DnD campaign. We allow Original Characters, Canon Characters from fandoms like Final Fantasy VII, Dragon Ball Z, Death Note, and even Alternate Universes. Maybe you want to apply for Cloud Strife if he... was a she. Maybe Seto Kaiba solved the Millennium Puzzle. If it's a character, it's allowed.
