Have most of the writing and setup complete, just getting cold feet and wanting to gauge interest. Panfandom game set in a fantasy-type setting with politics, PvP, battles, courts, and player advancement, and hard ending date of 12 months with a pretty deep plot. I want it to also be very SoL friendly for people who just like the setting and don't want to worry about other elements.
No AC, but activity gets rewards. Doubles of characters accepted, first come first serve. No app challenges. Rolling apps, and a streamlined app to make it easy to come and go with new characters. Accounts that haven't posted to logs in 60 or 90 days get purged. No permadeath, but consequences can be powerloss, memloss, etc.
Simplified premise,
Once, long ago, the lands of the afterlife were unformed, and shrouded by fog. A land of unmoving grey landscapes, confusion, and despair, ruled by Death and populated with his servants and the dead. At his discretion, souls might be destroyed, or given leave to ascend and be reincarnated. His reign went long unchanged.
But an enterprising soul discovered that the souls of others could be consumed for power. That power could change the landscape. That the afterlife itself could be altered, and even Death's powers emulated. The source of his power was not kept secret for long, and the ages of war and strife that covered the afterlife saw the rise of great and terrible spirits who fought each other for pride, for control, and for mastery the world.
Seeing his power over his subjects deteriorating, Death split his lands, and made the most powerful of those warring spirits his lords, sharing a piece of his domain with them all... and grooming them each to battle the others, endlessly.
Only... the most ancient legends whisper that one day the time will come that a soul shall not be satisfied by these or any other powers. The a truly great soul shall ascend the path of power and usurp Death's dark crown.

Your character is dead. And after their death, will awake in the afterlife, in Death's Hall of Souls. Death himself will usher your character into the afterlife, judging their acts in life and assigning them as vassals to one of his great lords.
What your character does after this is up to them. They may live in the Afterlife as they see fit, adjusting to the strange new world and living how they please. They may seek to serve their Lord, battling other souls, and using their service and deeds to be granted the right to reincarnate. Or they may seek to increase their own power, gaining allies and learning how to displace the Lord who rules them.
Your character may be dead: but that does not mean that they cannot feel pain, loss, joy, or love. There is still much to gain... and much to lose. What path will they choose?
