[Rise] Rise Universe

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Rise Universe topic, your hub for all things Rise on the sewers. When I first started Rise, I designed the universe for use in rps. Unlike many more well-established settings, I wanted the universe of Rise to feel like something the players themselves could actively take part in building. Not only do you get to design the characters for the individual rps created by me and other talented dms, but players also get the chance to create the factions and planets that make up this world. After all, the universe is a big place, and it only makes sense for writers on the internet to try and fill our worlds with as much awesome stuff as possible. To describe Rise in the simplest terms, it is an anime-inspired rp featuring mechs driven by mercenaries from across the galaxy who come together to overcome impossible odds. At least, that was my original premise. Now Rise has grown into something far bigger, encompassing multiple genres and art forms. 


This topic has two purposes. First, it is the hub of all thing Rise related, meaning that links to all rps and other art forms will be posted here. Second, this is the topic to discuss things going on in the universe, such as new alien races or anything else that comes up. In general, if it has to do with Rise and doesn't fit anywhere else, this is a good place to start. In addition, please send me links whenever something new has not been posted here. 


Now, every single rp will have its own rules, but here are a few general ground rules you should keep in mind as you explore Rise. 

• I'm the final authority on all things Rise. If I don't like something that you're doing and I tell you to stop, you have to do it otherwise you are no longer welcome to participate in the universe. Rise is meant to be fun, and this is a power I have yet to invoke. However, if protecting this universe means that I have to occasionally put my foot down on something I don't like, I will. 
• You can create your own alien races and factions! The only thing to keep in mind is that, if your race fills a role that has already been filled, it probably will not be used by many other people.
• Players who post their factions and races on places like the wiki should assume that others players will use them. As such, if you are the type of person who want their alien race or faction to only be portrayed in a certain way, Rise might not be the place for you. 
• That being said, if you plan to make alterations to another player's race, faction, or character for the sake of one of your stories or rps, you should make it a point to ask permission from the creator. In general, if you are in doubt, you should always ask permission!
• Rise can encompass a wide array of genres, and on this new forum we are free to explore more mature topics than ever before. That being said, don't take things too far. This is sort of a gray area right now, but rest assured that if you cross a line we will let you know. 

And that's about it.
