[HEADING=2]READ THIS![/HEADING]
The premise is simple.
Your character is your avatar.
They have the same powers, personality etc.

[HEADING=2]WE HAVE A TV TROPES PAGE! WOOH! [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatarsEscapist][/HEADING]

RULES!
You have to contribute to the plot in some way.
Either by adding to a conversation, fighting, or getting past obstacles (picking locks, hijacking cars etc).

You control your character ONLY.
You can't use other players' characters. UNLESS: the character is plot-necessary, but the player is unable to post (must act in character. If you are in this position, it would help if you asked another player beforehand to take over your character).

No Over-Powered Characters
-Characters can't instant-kill other characters (killing should be pre-decided)
-Characters should be weakened if they attack too often
-Characters shouldn't have too many different combat moves.
And please try to explain powers simply. You may be a genius on your character's universe, but other players mightn't have even HEARD of them before.

Certain players will have certain roles
Every game needs a villain. Therefore, we will need a villain. The villain needs to have a plot vaguely lined out, and should guide the other players (either by accidentally leaving clues, letting them spy on them or even pretending to be a good guy (I'm looking at you, Diablo1099).
Villains (and the good-guys) should be in-character. Jesus shouldn't be causing nuclear war (I don't think you should be RPing as Jesus anyway, but still...) and Freddie Krueger shouldn't be leading the charge against him.

No excessive posts
Just saying
"Dave opened the door and turned on his torch. He looked around and saw the desk, with the plans on it."
is good enough. We don't need a few paragraphs about his thoughts and feelings, and an accurate description of the room and plans.

Spoiler Tags!
One little note:
[HEADING=2]EXPECT SPOILERS![/HEADING]
This RP is probably going to contain at least minor spoilers from character universes, like references to who can live or die in Mass Effect or what happens in the most recent Bourne book or film. Please don't react negatively: it might affect the character in a big way, and you could end up confused as to why the character is acting 'out of character' from your perspective.
But that's not what I want to talk about. USE SPOILER TAGS FOR VIDEOS, PICTURES (Unless they're small) AND LARGE AMOUNTS OF TEXT!

Things you should know
-OOC means Out Of Character. Use this if you want to ask a question or make a suggestion.
-Use @[player name]: to address a character specifically.
OP means over-powered.
-Use italics for thoughts. [*i]text[*/i] without the *
-If a player missed a few pages, please give them a summary (a few lines explaining what you did since their last post).
-If you have to leave, either kill your character or put them On A Bus (give a valid reason for them to leave, ie they fell into a temporary wormhole).
-My word is law. If you think a character is OP, take it up with me. I will make a judgement. I may display bias to certain players; this will most likely be because they were around during We Are Our Avatars II, and I know about this character/player.
-You must ask me if you would like to start a Plot by PM'img me your idea for your plot, then wait for my aproval or rejection
Posts MUST Make Sense
-If it isn't from your character's universe, they don't know what it is.
-We're on Earth. Remember that.
-If you break this rule, the nonsensical post is retconned.

[HEADING=2]Have Fun Guys![/HEADING]

Almost every large corporation is owned by Cyberian Industries, which is primarily a military company.
The CEO, Emory Altengrauen, is running for prime minister. His security forces have been praised for stamping down on crime. So much so, they have almost entirely replaced the police.
Most prominently, the 'Redemption Program' has had a 100% success rate since its introduction in 2003. None of the convicted prisoners entered into the program have committed even a minor crime.

Meanwhile, in the future of another dimension, yet present in this one

Diane cuts a hole through time and space, and waits for the rest of the group to join her. Multiversal travel time laws prove to be pretty hard to deal with, making traveling to diffrent dimensions difficult if you don't have a watch function on your Subtle Knives.
Which she didn't have, so she had no idea when she was. She just had to wait for the begining, since she just fled from the end of that world. Travel between the two can be difficult, if you don't know how to do it. Like throwing parties for grouchy old donkeys, you can't seem to get it right without an absurd amount of work.

You've just proved exactly the problem with TV Tropes.

A Void portal opened in the depths of space as two IS mechs floated out. "Did we make it Charlotte?"

"I think so Laura. Wait, here comes everybody now."

"Good timing you guys."

"We should head back to the Hagane."

"There has been minimal Crusader activity, so we are safe for now..."

The 6 IS mechs boosted away...

The year for these characters is 2033. The Infinite Stratos armors that changed the world to a more "women" society happened on December 21, 2012. Now that the IS mechs are in the 5th gen. space travel is something that has been research. With the help of the Vanguards (A mysterious group of 3 from another Universe) they have learned about the Void, a strange world beyond our own that is... unpleasant.

The characters, though in their own universe are only teenagers, are now 27 years old, 11 years after the events of Infinite Stratos when they joined in the previous thread, a year later now.... Charlotte, Laura, Rin and Cecilia were hybridized with their IS mechs and their AIs....Most IS mechs are 9ft tall, unless stated so otherwise.

@Nail: Not yet.
We won't get any new people until Shadow changes the title. And we still need to do the rest of the conclusion for WAOA2.

OoC: Alright, so, those of you new here, know one thing:
This thread will most likely move fast. Really fast. 10 pages per day, at least, most likely.

OOC: What Wacky said. Except, at the start, it will move a lot faster.
Also, we have an OOC chat group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/members/We-Are-Our-Avatars-OOC-Group] you should probably join.
