The Countries of The O.Z - A Roleplay
Hey there, Hi there, Ho there folks!
And while this may not be the Mickey Mouse Club (or anywhere near close) I still feel the need to great chya'll in that manner. I have news, well yes I consider it news, it may not be uber super tremendous kick your in the groin news but it is news all the same.
And what news could it be? Well it is a forum!
Okay, maybe I should explain, because [sarcasm]I am sooooo good at explaining things[/sarcasm]. But for a while the idea of create roleplays that happen to exist in The O.Z have been circulating around, and I thought it was marvelous... because even if we don't get a sequel, or an actual series... or something extra (even though we are good and deserve it) (*fingers crossed for smexy blooper reel*) there is an immense amount of potention that exists in this recreated world. Such potential that to NOT roleplay and mess around in it would be a crime against our imaginations!
This brings me to my points.
I made a roleplaying forum.
Now you may be saying to yourself... 'roleplaying forum? wtf is that? Is that like chatrooms'? Well yes and no dears. This roleplaying forum is hosted on proboards (and looks rather nice at the moment if I do say so myself). It consists of sections were you can create your own character (or play one of the AVAILABLE canon ones) and through writing create a storyline which laces into other characters storylines until you have one big huge mess of a plot that it is beautiful... almost like a spiders web... save for the creepy factor.
I already see that you. are. rivetted by this idea. It has so many good qualities too. Account creation without a problem (as you aren't signing up on something that makes you jump through hoops and hurtles), a way to send private messages to other people, a place where your mind can go free! Whee! Now, I have been in many roleplay settings. Chatrooms, Instant Messengers, very fast moving message boards, disc.server boards, e-mails, and forums, and by far I have learned that forums are quite possibly the easiest and most enjoyable and with people that are willing to stay with it, they can be very long lived as well.
Now, if you had been following my hand with the gold watch swinging in it, you are all wonderring what this mystical magical place is. And do not fret, as I plan to share it with you in an instant... after I tell you the very basic premise.
The O.Z, well give a decade and you have the O.Z of now. Ten years have passed since the eldest Princess Azkadellia was under the posession of a wicked witch who thought to control the entire land by plunging it into permanet darkness... only to have the day be saved at the last second by a group of slightly mismatched but perfectly suited people. Cut to now and the O.Z is finally beginning its journey to truely healing its wounded spirit. The countries of the O.Z are finally beginning to acknowledge their neighbors again, each one very different. There are the northern Gillikinese Steam Punks, the Winkies of the East, who live in riches and offer up lavish accomidations as long as they are asked, the southern Quadlings, a place of intellect and learning (if not strange people), and the Western Munchkins a place that has fallen back into mother natures grasp. The old road winds through it all, and circulates rumours that refuse to stay down.
Some of the rumours of the young Princess Dorothy running away before her coronation. The fact that some people enjoyed Sorceress Azkadellia's evil reign and make plans to revolt. Or even that the Gnome King who lives beyond the uncrossable desert now has his eye of the diverse lands of the O.Z
Within it all many people still search for the answers to their Questions (which are just answers not yet spoken). Most finding more than they bargained for.
