Infinite Cross ~2nd Act~
Introduction, Rulings & FAQs
About The Game, you and your partnersWhat’s Infinite Cross ~2nd Act~ ?It’s a multiplayer play-by-post role playing game. This game spans multiple forums and in multiple languages. The main hub forum of the game is
http://233.soul573.com.
In this game, the player is one of the Original Characters living in a “Trinity Worldâ€. Suddenly, something weird occurs, there is a flash in the sky, and people from other worlds are falling from the skies! By sheer chance, or by curiosity, you end up meeting one (or more) of them. And you need to now figure out how to help them settle down (since they don’t know how and why they end up in this world, nor is there any way to bring them back to their original worlds). Your own adventure begins here.
People from other worlds?It’s referring to “Copyright Charactersâ€, characters from another ACG copyright. For example: Reimu Hakurei is one such character.
You mentioned that this game “spans multiple forums�Yes, in fact, there are three other teams beside you. MotK is Red Team, then we have Green, Blue and Yellow Teams. The players on different teams defaults to neutral relationship. But there may be times that teams are given conflicting goals.
“Your own adventure�Yes, you write your own story by posting in the Story thread. There are no restrictions to the length and/or frequency of the posts.
As for me, Each month, I’ll summarize each team’s story progression, and do an update on the entire world by writing something akin to a story, Also, I’ll be giving out pointers about what the players should do based on their status, tailored to each team. However, the players are free to ignore them.
Some characters from Anime/Comic Books/Games are very powerful, is that okay to be travelling with them?Actually, no.
To prevent godmodding, we have set up 2 general rules regarding character selection.
The 1st Rule - The Able Rule:Any character, if they have destruction power that suppresses or equals SCP-076-2 (See link if you don’t know what that is) or can endure an entire fight with SCP-076-2 (or have items easily accessible that enables them to do the above), is unsuitable to be chosen as your partner.
Additional clarification: To see if a character breaks the Able Rule, pit them in a fight against Able (SCP-076-2) based on the description on that SCP Wiki Article. If they can WIN, or FIGHT ON EQUAL FOOTING, then your character probably broke the Able Rule. This also applies to Marisa Rule described below. Note it’s okay to outsmart Able, being really smart won’t break the Able Rule on its own.
The 2nd Rule - The Marisa Rule:Any character, if they have the same destruction power that suppresses or equals Kirisame Marisa, or can endure an entire fight with her, (or have items easily accessible that enables them to do the above) then you can only take 1 of them as your whole team.
Any character that doesn’t break any of the above rules individually can be freely taken and you can form a group of maximum 5 partners provide none of them break the above rules.
Also, it’s strongly not recommended that you form a team using characters from different copyrights, unless you can clearly explain how they get together in-story.
You can also opt to play without a partner, or acquire them later.
I want to choose a certain very popular “Sacchin†as my partner, but what if others have already chose her?You cannot choose the same partners as your other teammates (i,e Players on the same team). However, it’s possible for different players from different groups choosing a same copyright character. In that case, please expect a mirror match of “Sacchinâ€s.
I noticed the title said “2nd Actâ€, so what about “1st Actâ€? Is that WUFtD since they have similar premises?The 1st Act of Infinite Cross is not related to this game, nor is that related to WUFtD.
The 1st Act is about a group of OCs from different forums travel to different copyright worlds, and solving their problems. It’s a completely different story that has already ended, and won’t have any relation to this story.
Additionally, in this game, you’re free to chose any copyrighted character, not only Touhous, you also don’t share a blood or thought bound.
I have other questions!Okay, relax.
First, see if your questions has been already answered in the next sections. If not, then ask away by replying this thread!!
About OCs and player interactionsRestrictionsAn OC, or Original Character, must NOT be one of the following:
- Related to any of the Copyright Characters.
- Related to any other OCs.
In other words, an OC must be a completely original character, drafted by yourself.
All OCs are residents of Trinity World #16161,
no exceptions (You cannot be a time/space traveller or a planeswalker, for example). However, you’re free to choose to start from any of the 3 worlds inside #16161, which will be described later.
The backgrounds of the OCs can be freely designed. However, they cannot be powerful people that can directly involved in politics and economy.
Aside from the above restrictions, you can design your OC whatever you like.
Interactions between playersThe players on the same team defaults to allies.
In other words, GM will not make it so players on the same team having different or conflict goals.
If, by any chance, a player want to maintain a hostile relationship with players/partners on the same team, please state so and let both parties know of this fact, both in-story and out of story.
Player Interactions in the same team will never result in the death of a player on the same team.A player can lease control of their partners to their teammates only if that player’s OC is dead.
The players on different teams defaults to neutrals.
However, GM would sometimes making conflicting goals between teams: For example, telling Blue team to protect a certain person while telling Green team to kidnap said person. Although these can be freely ignored, there are still chances that different teams will have a hostile relationship.
You can ally with players on the different teams on your own risk.
Interactions of players on different teams, or players with NPCs, may result in the OC’s death. Will be detailed below.
However, an OC’s death is decided by the GM, players cannot describe themselves killing any of the other players or partners in-story. If they do, it will be ignored by the GM anyways.
About GM InferenceDeus Ex MachinaGM may, when they deems fit, directly intervene the story by writing their own stories.
This may result in changing the flow of the story, the status of the characters, or sending NPCs that may broke the Able Rule or Marisa Rule into the story.
Punishment - Death of OCs and PartnersIf somehow OCs get themselves into a very dangerous situation with no way out, they’re deemed to be dead by the GM. Dead OCs cannot do anything in the story for the remainder of the month, but will be resurrected in the story of next month.
However, your partners are not retrievable once they died, also their death will have consequences on your character (for example, the items they process will be gone with them.). Your partners won’t die before you do.
About OC’s Original SettingsThe OCs can write their own settings or lore to expand the world of #16161. Such settings must be posted in the Settings section of the main hub forum:
http://233.soul573.com/index.php?board=5.0Once a setting is posted, I’ll go verify it, generally, original settings have these two rules:
If a piece of Setting/Lore do not contradict any of the existing canon, then it’s canon.
If a piece of Setting/Lore contradicts any canon, the canon overrules it.
When I approve said setting, I’ll translate them into the other language, together with stamping a “Verified†tag on the thread title.
You can also set up NPCs as your friend, rival or enemies this way. Do notice that others can also use your NPCs and Settings for their own purposes.
How to joinReply to this thread with information of your original character and partners.( you need to at least give out a name, and in the case of characters, what works they’re from)
Then, find the story thread, and start writing! No other thing is needed other than your imagination!
If you don’t have time to write, that’s completely fine. You can drop off and resume at any time. Other writers may ask you for permission of using your characters and partners though.
