What are we looking for?

“From our very own ‘Si The Shy Guy’, we have an amazing set of trials that we are stoked to announce in our most ambitious event thus far.”

HI! YAY I’M BACK TO MESSING WITH EVERYONE ON HERE!
First off I would like to say this wasn’t my own idea, although as soon as I was told about it I felt like this immediately needed attention, such a lovely way to get our new members onto some great worldbuilding projects!

This event is split into three parts!

THE FIRST PART is all about telling a short story, but what kind exactly?
We have a wonderful alternate realm with an immense gate replacing a major city within the United States.
New Boston, or what's more properly known as Eugenia.
This realm seems to spin off into its open fantasy world, although we do not have a lot of information on what impossible majesty could be hiding in plain sight.
So initially we want a short story set within Eugenia! Pique interest by writing out some new locations, characters, and monsters to really give this place its own SHRP spin on your usual realm of fantasy! Once we settle out the short stories we get to…

THE SECOND PART, which is all about writing out a character application, making one of the characters you have written in your short story an actual playable character!
A PC that will be mostly measured in quality and just needs to keep the theme of being from Eugenia, fitting into that world like a proper denizen and champion! Either a champion of a virtue or your own greatness, it’s all up to you!

THE THIRD PART is where it gets explosive! Now it’s time to quickly get threads with the other characters made within the second part of the contest, the matters within the thread can be just about any topic, as long as it’s exclusive to other characters made within the contest, and it needs to be completed within the month.
Once this is done, another large reward will be given in addition to the lowered word count per exp!

You are allowed to step in for only the character creation part if you so choose, but a special rule is in place to hopefully push people to do all three sections!

Doing 1 part of the contest will grant you only HALF of the full experience for the contest, doing 2 parts will grant a full experience of both parts done, and doing 3 will DOUBLE ALL gains from the full contest!

Grading and placements will occur for the first and second phases, excluding the third.

Please expect some possible adjustments and extensions to be done for this trial, as this is a very new setup it could require some work.
Don't forget to reply below if you plan to join!

Where should I draw inspiration?

FANTASY! Fantastical mages and knights and dragons, beasties, and many many things!
Although keep in mind not to take from any sources with copyright protection, we do have to be wary of that.
We got messaged before by a major group in a not-so-nice way, it could happen again!
