You didn't think death would be like this. It isn't oblivion. It isn't any kind of afterlife as described by people of faith. It is just... floating, through a thick mist.
The details of how you died are hazy. Truth be told, you can't even remember much about your life.
Something is happening. There is some kind of black hole in the distance. You can see it even through the mist. Perhaps you just sense it? Either way, you are drifting toward it. Maybe you could resist your approach, but it doesn't matter to you one way or the other. Now you are going through it.
You wake up in a grassy field...
...
OOC: You will be roleplaying in The Realm, a section of Dreamer's Den, a forum dedicated to fantasy, horror and science fiction. The world is an alternate fantasy version of our real one, but set long ago. There are many animals and creatures, but sentient beings are just appearing now, and all used to be inhabitants of other places and times until they died.
You are free to play however you like, but don't do anything drastic with other people's characters without their permission. From time to time, I will break into the action to set up an event or other such things. What you do may influence me as to what kind of event is happening.
I may eventually set up additional rp sections after we establish a continuity for The Realm, first one for the present day, and later one for the far flung future.
I am using fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons as the basis for this roleplay (and will be using The Realm with my in-person gaming group as well). That means player races will be dwarf, elf, halfling, human, dragonborn, gnome, half-elf, half-orc and tiefling. If you want further information about races, or want to play something non-standard, send me a message.
I have also created a pantheon for this world. Most characters won't know about them yet, as you have just arrived at this world. However, if details about them are important for playing your character send me a message, and I'll give you further information.
As for the world around you? Make it up as you go along. Even the sky isn't the limit!
If you want more information, let me know. Now the, have at it!
Update: I've added boards where you can display your artwork or writing, and where forum members can watch movies.
