During every journey, there is a path left untaken. Every decision, a choice discarded.
With these cast off options, a new world is born. A world in which the other road was taken. And a new reality is created. Our world is one such reality. Here, a single moment in time changed the course of Earth, rewriting its history.
It all began with World War 2. As the war raged, the ‘mundane’ way of handling things began to falter as more and more villains came to light. However, they were alone. This time saw a surge in superheroes as well, in such numbers that they were able to over take those who would conquer the world.
With so many of the extreme villains gone, many heroes went about tending to lesser crime. Some retired completely. Teams were formed in secret as a precaution and a preventative measure to safeguard the future. The world had found almost perfect peace, becoming close to utopia.
Such things surely wouldn’t go unnoticed, however. Powerful forces of every kind from outside the Earth came in an attempt to overtake the world. To challenge the heroes who had brought peace to the planet. Each time, they were fought back. During this time, the greatest minds came together and built a machine which placed a barrier around the world to protect it. To stop travel between Earth and other worlds and dimensions. With this in place… The heroes fell into history.
Ten years ago… The machine fell. A shockwave, with the Earth as its center, covered that planet and sent ripples out further than anyone could imagine. From that moment on, crime began to rise. Villains that people had only read about in history books began to emerge and were gaining control and power. Soon after, heroes began to arrive as well.
No one is certain as to what, exactly, has happened. It’s assumed that this new era of the world is due to the lack of barrier that was protecting the world. That’s only an assumption though…
This is our reality… Will you make it your own as well?
Latest Appearances!
Every character is important.
The world should reflect the roleplay within it.
Communication, across the board, is key.
Always remain open to compromise, suggestions and new ideas.
It is a game! The most important aspect is that people have fun!
These are the principles, that we as Staff, built Shattered Mirror around. Here, we believe that every character has just as much potential as the next, whether they're well known, obscure, or being brought to 'life' for the first time. Each character is accepted based on it's creation on the game and not whether it has been in print or not.
We strive to make sure that what happens in the game is reflected via plots, descriptions and other means. If you do a scene and three city blocks are destroyed, our Build Staff are happy to go in and alter the description of the room to reflect it. Postings can be made by Players, or Staff, so the rest of the players are aware of the damage and can Rp accordingly as well if they choose. You get to shape this world through your in-character actions.
Communication is something we encourage strongly. Not just communication between Staffers but communication between Players as well as communication between Staff and Players. We are aware that the game needs its players to survive but more importantly than that, communication is what allows us to address any concerns or questions Players may have as well as implement plots and suggestions as well as settle any disputes. When communication fails, so to will the game and the fun that everyone could have creating this world.
Going hand in hand with communication, we as Staff, strive to remain open to new ideas and suggestions from Players, whether it be regarding characters, storyline, availability of various characters and races, or alterations to the grid. We strongly believe in compromise as well. If a new idea or suggestion cannot be accepted the way it is first we presented, we will always try to find a middle ground that satisfies both parties before outright saying 'No.'
Above all else, we want our Players to have fun! We built Shattered Mirror in an attempt to give people another place to gather and a new world to immerse themselves in. We try to make sure that we are always available to out Players to assist them in any way that may be needed. Logging in should never become a chore or a job. It should never be an obligation and we try to make sure, in every way possible, that that will never be the case for those who join us here!
With all this said, we would be delighted to have you create a character and join us. To help make our reality yours.
