IMMORTAL STAND

Role Playing is basically pretending to be someone you are not. In this particular RPG we have created our own world that involves characters from The epic novel by Stephen King 'The Stand' as well as the Highlander Series and First Movie. This game includes, but does not limit to the characters in the aforementioned series and movies. This is not a transcript of the shows or movies, you create a character and make up their actions as you go, posting their actions and dialogue to the mailing list which is then sent out to everyone subscribed.

For a list of canon characters we are looking for to join our game, please check out our Help Wanted page.

Please read the rules page also prior to creating a character.

There are no large or small parts in role playing, it just depends on how often you wish to post. The setting for the Immortal-Stand RPG is vast, the entire United States is yours for exploring,

There is virtually no limit as to who your character can be, just try to be realistic. Try to make him or her or they someone who could have possibly been in the book, series or movie. No robots, cyborgs, aliens, and the like. Remember not everyone has met Caesar, Shakespeare, Cleopatra, etc, so keep it real.

Please do not duplicate characters that are all ready taken or emulate a scripted character. Not everyone is a brooding Scot or a tormented fallen rock star. BE ORIGINAL is the key to Role Playing. Don't forget mortal characters - we need them too!

You may wish to read existing character bios before creating your own to ensure names, ideas and special abilities are not already taken.

We encourage all new players to read through the character's bios and decide if your character knows someone from before the plague. Email the monitor to discover who each writer is and how to contact them. However, please do not become a friend, relative, or past lover of another persons character without their permission first. If your character has a past history with another please clear it through that character's player FIRST. If your character has a past with a canon character that is not taken in our game upon your subscription, it will be allowed at the moderator's discretion and when the character in question is taken the approved history will become canon for them.

All characters must be approved by the moderators before any posting to the list. No exceptions.

All immortals should be under 3800 years old unless discussed with and approved by the monitors.

For created and canon characters, new players are limited to two until we are certain you're going to post consistently. If you choose to play a canon character (please make sure you know enough about that character to play them) still fill out this form for the character bio page of this site. It also helps other players to see how you view the character.

This RPG will not be about the fighting between immortals and the quest for the prize. This will instead be about seeing them interact with each other when they have to put The Game to the side for a moment.

Include with your character a fairly detailed history of their life. If they are only 24 years old, their history is going to be much shorter then someone who is 2,400 years old. The Character form is located below and it must be filled out for every character you play.
