Basic Overview:
Stories from Animus City is a character-driven, play-by-post roleplaying game. Our stories are told over the course of a Plot Roleplay. These story threads are moderated to ensure that they story stays on course.
Each Plot Roleplay thread will take around two weeks or less to complete. Once a thread has been completed, a summary will be posted and a new Plot Roleplay thread will begin.
Players are encouraged to join Plot Roleplays and begin their own play-by-post threads on the Central Animus board.
Getting Started:
Players must fill-up the character template and uploaded it on the Resident Biographies thread. You can take your time with your bio or come up with something very simple. Either way, your character will develop over the course of their stay in Animus City.
Once a character biography has been posted, you will be required to write an Awakening piece. These Awakening stories will serve as your character's introduction into the city. Members of Team Animus will reply to your Awakening to give your their thoughts and introduce you to the city.
With your biography and awakening complete, you are free to explore Animus City and start roleplaying. You can use the chatbox below to discuss with other players in real-time.
Note: Should you wish to join an on-going Plot Roleplay, please get in touch with a member from Team Animus, who will work with your to integrate your character into the on-going narrative of the story.
Animus Plot Roleplays:
The story of Animus City is told through our Plot Roleplays. These roleplays take place over the course of a single thread that players are allowed and encouraged to participate in.
Some Plot Roleplay threads will be divided into two groups, with characters designated to a specific thread.
Plot Roleplay threads will be heavily moderated by members of Team Animus to ensure that each post advances the story forward. While strict plot points will be assigned to each Plot Roleplay, Team Animus encourages players to engage with the narrative and above all, to have fun.
Players are strictly limited to three posts per day during Plot Roleplays. This will ensure that each post is well written and will provide every roleplayer a chance to easily catch-up with the narrative.
Post counts exceeding three (3) are strictly prohibited. While we had the chance to enjoy these roleplay sprees in the past, the members of Team Animus are now adults who live in contrasting timezones. So unless a day pops up that allows us to all roleplay at the same time (holidays, etc), we just simply can not allow this to happen anymore.
Regular Play-by-Post Roleplaying:
Players can enjoy Animus City at their own pace (unlimited posts) through our play-by-posts boards. Players are encouraged to utilize each aspect of the city and allow their imaginations to run wild, within reason of course.
Should an on-going thread include a segment that may conflict with an ongoing Plot Roleplay, they will be contacted by a member of Team Animus, who may work with them to either correct the segment or incorporate it into the larger story being told.
At this point, only Central Animus City is available for free play-by-post roleplay threads. As the story develops, new locations in the city will be unlocked when encountered on a Plot Roleplay. Respective boards for these locations and districts will open once a Plot Roleplay has been completed.

The Residents of Animus City
There are three Resident classes that inhabit the city. These class types are as follows:
- Residents - Player-created personal characters (PC). These characters are fully conscious beings who have awakened in Room #4 of the Admiral Hotel. They are free to explore the city as they wish. And while escape is the number one priority for each resident, resistance to the city is ultimately their key towards survival.
- Mindless - Residents who ultimately give into desperation lose their consciousness to the city. They are known as the "Mindless"; soulless beings whose existence is merely to ensure that the city continues to function.
- Non-playable Characters - Non-playable characters are scattered across Animus City. Some are Residents, some are Mindless. They too play a role in the greater story of Animus City.
