Into the Bastion [Information/OOC]

Rules
Due to the multiversal nature of the Bastion, there is a high degree of character freedom in this RP. Characters may be any being of any kind, including those from real life, fantasy, fictional works, and original species/settings. You can also play beings that are found in a variety of media (ex. you could be a human from the real world, a human from Middle Earth, a human from the Star Wars universe, etc) or beings from different universes that go by the same name but have vastly different qualities (compare an orc from Middle Earth to the orsimer of Nurn).
While character species and appearance is essentially open, there are some restrictions in order to keep things fair and fun:
This RP will run like any other--you take on the role of various characters and write out their adventures and interactions within the world. However, in addition to my own character(s), I will also be taking on a sort of Dungeon Master role, writing for the Bastion itself and how it and its denizens react to their guest's actions. For the most part, the Bastion allows guests to live their lives peacefully, but snooping about where you're not welcome could have...consequences.
- Be cool, don't be a jerk.
- The quality of your posts should be more important than the quantity. Sometimes posts are long and full of content, other times they are short and sweet. We're all here to write a story together.
- Do not godmod, powerplay, or otherwise try to take control of another's character.
- Content that could be considered above a PG-13 rating should be avoided or timeskipped over.
- There is no point in making an overpowered/munchkin/Mary Sue character. A good character is one that is fun to write and to write with.

While character species and appearance is essentially open, there are some restrictions in order to keep things fair and fun:
- All characters, regardless of species or native language, are able to understand eachother when within the Bastion.
- Characters with supernatural, magical, or other kinds of abilities will find that their powers are severely dampened while within the Bastion. A mage with the power to summon thunderstorms will be able to manifest little more than a few dark clouds, and a seemingly all-powerful being will find themselves brought down almost to a mortal level.
- Any characters attempting to injure or kill another will quickly find that whatever entity is controlling the Bastion is not a fan of combat. Repeat offenders may be confined to their rooms, or worse.
