The Nature Of The Game

Now is the time of the Gathering, when the stroke of a sword will
release the power of the Quickening. In the end, there can be only
one.

Premise: This roleplay game will be based on the television
show/movies of the Highlander world (And if anyone mentions
Highlander 2, they�ll get dirty looks from me!)
The time of the Gathering is here, and producing more Immortals than
ever before. Perhaps this is the universes way of making sure a good
guy wins, who knows.

Several new Immortals have banded together in one place, a mansion on
the outskirts of Paris. This mansion is owned by their teacher,
Watcher Adam Pearson. Adam is also known as Methos, who at 5000 years
old is the longest surviving Immortal alive today. It is Methos hope
that he can instill in his young pupils a sense of morality. When the
last sword stroke falls, he hopes it will be one of his pupils
wielding the weapon. Or perhaps, it will be him.

Who can I play?: There are two choices here. You can either play one
of the Immortals, or one of the Watchers.

Special features: Look out for guest appearances by famous immortals
such as Duncan MacLeod and Amanda, or likewise famous Watchers such
as Joe Dawson. (although I don�t want this to become an everyday
occurance) Also, Immortals get to pick out their own swords from
Methos' extensive collection, so pretty much anything goes (within
reason.)

Requirements: The game will be in third person story format. You do
not need an in depth knowledge of Highlander to play, as I can fill
you in on any details you are unsure of, but I do require writers who
are capable of more than three paragraphs a post.

You will need to be at least 16 years old to be a member of the group,
as the game carries with it the possibility for scenes of violence, or
intimate posts between characters (again, not to be made into an
everyday occurance.)

If you want to play an Immortal character, they can be no older than
thirty years (including time spent as an Immortal), but there is no
such restriction on Watchers. Please remember however that watchers
are mortal and would probably have retired from fieldwork by the age
of 65. Immortals tend to get up to some pretty weird antics and it
usually takes young legs to keep up with them!

Additional info: This game is brand new, so there are no players at
the moment. I'm looking for around five or six players to get us
started and we'll go from there.

Applications: Please send me an e-mail at st0ry_m4n@yahoo.co.uk
(That's a number 0 instead of an 'o', and a number 4 instead of an
'a') for more info, the groups address and character sheets. The
yahoo group will be up shortly for your perusal.
