You woke up with the weight of chains holding you down. Destroy the chains and become a god.

♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫

Hi there! I'm going to be running an upcoming short-term PSL (with a possible chance of a continual storyline) based on taking intangible ideals and turning them into reality!

Or something like that.

Consider things like validation and acceptance and guilt and imagine them as physical chains to a person. Then imagine what would happen if these chains were removed. You would gain a certain kind of omnipresence that would allow you to become something a bit more than human. You don't lose your humanity, but instead your humanity loses its limitations! Perhaps the closest explanation I can give is think Umineko and Baccano in terms of themes. You can be your own god. Or perhaps your power relies on existence.

Each character will come in knowing that they have become a god of this world. They are a god of something intangible. For example, God of Happiness, God of Acceptance, etc. This SHOULD be something that reflects their character in some way! In fact, if possible, it should reflect their core as a human. YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO CHOOSE THE IDEAL (though of course, it needs to be accepted first). However, there are chains that hold them down that prevents them from actually ascending into godhood. These chains are physical. For that reason, there will probably be some physical/mental trauma somewhere along the way. THE PHYSICAL CHAINS WILL NOT BE CHOSEN BY YOU FOR REASONS!!!!1!

The goal is to remove your own chains while binding everyone else down. Or perhaps, your goal is different. Perhaps your goal might be to make sure that you and your friends are gods together. Or maybe you have a different goal altogether.

Just remember, someone will eventually step up whether you do so or not.

The overall format of the PSL is in works and might change when completed. So for now there are no real instructions that can be given. This post is actually more of an interest check to make sure the mechanics of the game will center around it. However, the idea of the beginning game is to be mingle-based to introduce and build quick CR, but to allow individual goals to promote action and direction (much like cry wolf or mafia!). This might be character capped, but I'd like to leave it open!

Some things that won't change, it will focus on action-style/comment spam type of tags. There will be allowance of not being able to be around for a long time (LIFE HAPPENS, you can't always be on a computer) but some activity is still required!

Fandom characters and OCs are also very welcome. No doubles! AU/PG is a maybe, WILL UPDATE ON THIS.

If interested, drop a comment with your e-mail or plurk so I'll be able to link you a post of sign-ups when they go up! Talk about characters and ideals you're interested in if you'd like, but you don't have to have anything finalized yet.
