Introduction To An Antithetical Reality

[With.]

An Antithetical Reality is an advanced fantasy role play site, based around a game called Aro'kai. ( Read more in the 'What is Aro'kai' thread. ) We are a mature group of people, and use language, violence, gore, and other R+ things in our role play. Our plot is dark, and deals with religion, the supernatural, and macabre things. We are lead by one person, With, but all big decisions ( Like forum layout, meetings, and more ) are voted on by the community as a whole. There is no staff - the community makes the decisions. In AAR, you can play as one of seven species, and all are fairly equally balanced.

If any part of that sounds unappealing, you should turn back.

If not, welcome to AAR!

AAR is one account per player, not one account per character.

We are a play-by-post rp, meaning that each post contributes as a whole to everything in the plot and surrounding it.

Each thread created looks something like this : 'title - ( open )', and we role play with threads, not one giant role play. Each thread can have many people be invited, be closed for only a few people, or be open for anyone to join. It's for you to decide.

AAR operates with liquid time, meaning that you can have multiple threads open with the same character in them, and it's up to you to decide exactly how it progressed linearly for your character after the fact.

We also role play in the game Aro'kai ( When it comes out, since it's not right now. ), and abide by their rules when we are in-game, and by ours when we are not.

AAR is not present, and the weather, temperature, time, and setting are not of this world. ( Thank God! ) Our setting is our own, and With determines the weather and we all decide when it's time for a season change.

Post-Apocalyptic, perhaps. In the game Aro'kai, there are no ruins to be found. However, in AAR, there is an entire section of city and ruins to explore. They are quite degraded, and the creatures tend to just accept their presence, and no emphasis is put on humans at all.

AAR's plot is heavily religion-based. 'He' is out there, and wishes to reclaim His world, purge it of sinners, and more. Things are about to get hectic, and not one schism is safe. The plot is not known by all, and only With knows it in its entirety. People are given little snippets of information and are requested to do certain things for plot progression, but it's more exciting when you don't quite know what's around the corner. However, with all of His efforts, you can expect that not long after AAR opens, things will get hectic.
The plot also deals with creatures, supernatural things, environment changes, nightmares, and etc etc. Some parts of it are directly related to horror films. That does not mean that you have to participate in the more volatile parts of the plot, but be aware of it.
