Quite a few people have been wondering about Providence's storyline. No, we don't have one yet. The reason is as such:
It's pretty easy, if I think about it, to create something as to how the world was created. The Gods, the land formations, the creation of the first people, etc. Easy peasy. Now, as for the current history, this is how I see it:
You are seeing Providence, NOW, as a sort of "new world". Before you character's time, people lived, of course. People who lived like, say, the Romans in our own world. And, they lived and lived and lived, and somewhere along the line, a fullscale war broke loose. The cultures collided and waged war. Every single Kingdom was destroyed. And, slowly, things are being rebuilt. The majority of the world's population live in the remaining or newly built towns, and some people who have Royal Blood in them are creating Kingdoms. As things progress and more things add on, you get our history. Whenever we're making a new Kingdom or town or anything like that, we're putting it up in stages. We RolePlay the creation of the place. When it's done, we have a whole nice juicy bit of storyline right there. And things go on like this. Until a certain point where I decide the story is fine, WE are structuring the storyline of Providence.
I think this is a pretty good idea. We all get to let the storyline unfold as we play. The more big RolePlays that happen, the jucier the story gets. If, for example, a castle is being built and another castle attacks it in the process, then that becomes a nice bit of history for the actual story.
Did I explain that alright? I'm still sick, and not thinking very well.
If you have any other questions, tell me. I may not go with this idea, if Tyne doens't like it, or if not everyone likes it. If that happens, then I'll just make up a really good plot. But, this would proove to be a lot more thrilling and exciting.
To briefly put it:
1) I make a HISTORY part of the storyline. Providence before OUR time.
2) The climax comes! Dun dun dun, cultures collide, and Providence is shaken. It is practically started anew.
3) We provide the story's third bit. Once it gets so incredibly good, I stop it, and thus becomes the storyline of Providence.
Anything really big that happens is recorded, such as a Kingdom war, or a King being assassinated, or things like that. I won't put in stuff like "Oh and one day Malak hit Penchoo with his sword and Malak became a legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!and then marle was like hi and they married!!?!? i think!!! and vermain dropped 5 gralats on wednesday, then there was a Kingdom war and we all died.
