:: Welcome ::

Alright guys, we're ready to move to our new home. IH, a creative writing, RPG community in an original future fantasy setting, is relocating, so head on over and start exploring, chatting, or just overall getting situated. Join over on the new board.

What is this?

Infinite Horizons is a play-by-post, free form RPG played within an original setting best defined as Futuristic Fantasy. A place where anything is possible, both literally and proverbially. Fate and the occult intervenes with reality, impossible events take place, creatures of myth have been revealed to exist, and races only of legend have come to be discovered.

What is Roleplaying?

Infinite Horizons' form of roleplaying, or "interactive writing," allows you to form all aspects of your character. As you start writing, other "authors" will join in, adding their own characters and helping in developing the plot. Here, you write as your character (or characters) interact with other people's characters, and become a part of the community. In short, Infinite Horizons is simply an ongoing, collaborative story.

On these forums, you may play a diplomat for the government, a rebel against prejudice and war, a common thief, a marine, and much, much more. A creative and friendly community has been composed--you can also be a part of it.

Some links are provided to things that are vital to know in order to begin roleplaying. But the first step before anything, don't forget to bookmark this site. In short, you need to know that: The year is 2380. Earth is a wasteland, after its societies destroyed themselves from the inside out. The Weavers were said to have created the planet Earth. There were four generations of them, and shaped Earth's fields, plains, and meadows, and other planets. They are granted control of the lifelines of the Earth, the leylines, and its elements. These abilities are passed down in descendant bloodlines later. The second generation of Weavers soon after arrives, shaping the mountains, deserts, canyons, and plateaus. The third is the intellectual generation, shaping early beliefs. The fourth is a wild card, and is comprised of those with brilliant psionic abilities of the mind. (i.e. telepathy, telekinesis, kinesis, etc. ) Any "Weaver" after this, is classified as magerath, a different bloodline. In this way, humans can descend from magerath, Weavers, and z'hadrei if their ancestors had children between the races over time. Half-bloods are those of human and mageran blood. Humans are the czadians' ancestors, as early humans wandered onto Daldrei through means of warp Gates on Earth. The Republic is the Core Worlds' and Outer Rim's system of government. Corruption is becoming apparent in some sects. The Alliance refers to any rebel faction or individual against the ideals of the Republic. Europe and Asia has a strong influence on cities and life in space. Psionics are powers of the mind. Some accept them, some deny their existance, others do not accept them. Usually such things are known about in public, but not discussed. In order to have psionic affinity, usually the individual--provided that they are a human-- must descend from a generation of Weavers, magerath, or z'hadrei, but in some cases, the human can manifest them on their own. Anything besides this, and this included, you can learn about in-depth in the Compendium.
