maquianicalReverb [Main World]
The land has been razed, civilization destroyed, and life obliterated in a war among the gods; the few among the gods who remained in its aftermath were those who never wanted to war in the first place; now, their only remaining wish is to see the world thrive once more.
These gods restored the world to the best of their ability, using their waning power to revive the plants and wildlife. The land grew fertile once more and, along the shores of the vast oceans, a beachside town took shape. However, the gods' powers grew weak and they were only able to return a painfully small portion of humanity to life.
With each use of the gods' powers, the stars disappeared from the sky; the gods looked upon this as the last few stars remained, knowing there was little more they could do with the last of their power. And so, still hoping for the world to return to glory yet knowing they lacked the power to see the world further to that end, the gods opened a portal to other worlds. The last stars died out as the portal opened, and the gods fell into a slumber to recover their power, all the while vowing to take a hands-off approach to the world this time around.

Replique is a seaside town comprised of several districts set across its landscape. The largest residential area in the town is situated on the cliffs overlooking the sea, for example, while a smaller district of residences can be found along the beach itself. The business district surrounds the town square and leads to the beach as well, and the town's schools have been given a scenic and almost isolated setting at the base of the cliffs, surrounded by trees and brush.
As the home to the last vestiges of humanity, Replique is peaceful enough within its borders. However, the town is surrounded by a fair share of beasts, monsters, and other wildlife, leading to difficulty for those who venture out unprepared. The monsters usually steer clear of the town itself, particularly when it is lit up, but some do grow curious. For this reason, the town does rely on outsiders who have at least some experience in fighting.

Characters are pulled from their own worlds and into this one by the gods' portal; they arrive in Replique and as each character appears, a new star returns to the sky.
The gods' portal was intended to seek out those who could restore the world's glory; those who pass through the portal are meant to rebuild both the world and its society, then. Some might defend the town from monsters and other menaces while others might simply choose to engage in business or community planning. However, no one is forced to aid in the betterment of the society; they are well within their rights to simply laze about, enjoy any number of recreational activities, soak up the sun, enjoy each other's company, or even cause trouble for others.
Characters are allowed to kill each other, but this is not without consequences. The deceased is forced to remain out of play for one week while the revival process occurs. On the other hand, the killer is branded for that week; this brand places a curse onto the character, leaving the character in a debilitated state. This debilitation generally renders the character either unable to wield a weapon or unable to use special abilities (including, but not limited to, magic).
