PREMISE

[anachronia]

You are standing in the center of a small village. It is dreary and overcast, and the wet wind blows through with a chill. The buildings around you are abandoned and silent. You may feel a vague sense of familiarity, but nothing stands out terribly strongly.

Wherever you are, it is not where you were only a moment ago. Perhaps you were at home, snuggled safe in your bed. Maybe you were standing in a battlefield, shaken by a great explosion. Were you working? Did you close your eyes for only a second?

In that moment of darkness, that split second, you were brought to a place more that will prove to be more strange and mysterious than you could ever imagine.

Anachronia is an OC roleplay for history fans. Characters are taken from their home worlds in a split second by an invisible force and brought to the village. Characters can be from any point in history to the modern day, and come from all walks of life. Despite their differing origins, they will have to work together to survive in this village, and maybe someday find a way home.

The village has no name that anyone knows of, and is located in a valley surrounded by talk, dark mountains. The weather in the village is always overcast and slightly chilly, and rain and snow are common. To the east is a small lake with no visible outlet or source. To the west is a path that stretches outside the village into thick fog. Though this path may look like a route of escape, any attempt to leave the village via this route is impossible. No matter how long a person travels on this path, they will never reach an end. If the traveler should turn back, they will return to the village in roughly fifteen minutes, even if they had been traveling in the other direction for hours or days.

The village itself appears to have been abandoned by any previous inhabitants for while. However, on closer inspection, most buildings should have electricity and running water. Shopfronts are empty, but have storerooms filled with the necessary things to get them running again. Homes have a bed in each bedroom, and a stove, bath, and toilet. Characters will have to scrounge, purchase, or build all of the other things they'll need themselves.

Technology within the village is roughly on par with the early 1940's, with a few variations here and there. For some characters this will seem outdated - for others, it will be far more advanced than anything they have ever seen before.

It is unclear what, exactly, brought everyone to the village. It will be up to the characters themselves to decide what to do...
