Butterfly Effect; Wikipedia
 
The butterfly effect is a metaphor that encapsulates the concept of sensitive dependence on initial conditions in chaos theory; namely that small differences in the initial condition of a dynamical system may produce large variations in the long term behavior of the system. Although this may appear to be an esoteric and unusual behavior, it is exhibited by very simple systems: for example, a ball placed at the crest of a hill might roll into any of several valleys depending on slight differences in initial position. The butterfly effect is a common trope in fiction when presenting scenarios involving time travel and with "what if" cases where one storyline diverges at the moment of a seemingly minor event resulting in two significantly different outcomes.


One of the most basic and well-known theories on time travel, suggesting that going back in time and doing so little as crushing a butterfly could change the events that were arranged to happen, tossing destiny into the wind and leaving the world with a chaotic, uncontrolled outcome.

So, we already know how this story end, but, what if we could rewrite it?

I invite you to take a journey with me,
and crush some butterflies.





Rules and Guidelines.

All rules also co-inside with,
"=SB='s Roleplay Rules"


{I} | Time Period
This roleplay is to be set within the time period of the 2006 rendition of Sonic the Hedgehog. That being said, Characters abilities are to be limited to the ones known at that time. For example, Sonic doesn't turn into a Werehog, nor does he wield Excalibur, or any sword for that matter.


{II} | Characters
If you would like to play a character, Post their Profile in the Character and Discussion Thread, I would rather not have the OoC cluttering up the roleplay. I will keep a list on the front page of who is available and how many more characters I'll be taking. Also, characters are to be played as themselves, with their personalities, abilities and sexualities in-tact.
{Character Priority}: In order to keep a proper balance in this, it is paramount information that All characters are equal, your Original Character is no stronger than any others, however, Main Characters may take priority in a battle. This is to ensure that everyone has their share of fun, and that the plot I have in-store is not to be taken over, in accordance to Rule IV.


{III} | Posting
As it says in the roleplay rules, posts are to be more than one-liners. I, personally, want at least ten lines per post. I won't crack down super-hard on this rule, but you have been warned. Literacy and proper grammar are huge pluses as well. Most important though, is making a post that someone can actually respond to. I don't want you to drudge through making a ten+ line post of just what your character is thinking or just having your character sit there. Do something, be active.
Also, not really a rule, but a suggestion, is to have something like this;
Code:
 
[B]Location[/B]: {Current Location}
[B]Interaction[/B]: {Current character interaction}

Somewhere in your posts, please. It would help lessen a bit of the confusion in any roleplay.

{IV} | Behavior
Behavior of both the character, and the RPer, need to be regulated. Characters need to keep things at a PG13 level, be it Violence, language or... romantic activities. Violence and romance of every kind are heavily encouraged in this roleplay, but please, be reasonable with it. I don't want you to describe to me how you've lost your arm and the remnant stub is leaving a bloody mess everywhere. Nor do I need your characters' sex in here. About the RPer's now, Do not try to shape the entire story for yourself, this is a team effort, and your character will be important to the plot. Don't ignore other players, no flaming, trolling, spamming, god-modding (God-modding pertains to power playing, ever-dodging, never-tiring, writing your character out of a situation that seemed impossible), and auto-hitting (making contact with another character without the Roleplayer allowing it.).

{V} | Rules
Rules are subject to change, and will probably change constantly. I would suggest visiting the first page constantly, to avoid any misunderstandings.

Here is the list of accepted, reserved, and open characters, as well as a form for you to fill out for your character, Canon or not.

Character Profile;

[B][U]Race[/U]:[/B] Hedgehog? Echidna? Human? That goes here.
[B][U]Age[/U]:[/B]
[B][U]Faction[/U]:[/B] {Heroes or Villains}
[B][U]Fighting Style[/U]:[/B] {Do you prefer speed, or brute strength, maybe ranged tactics?}

[B][U]Biography[/U]:[/B]
[B][U]Goals[/U]:[/B]
[B][U]Roleplay Sample[/U]:[/B] {just like a post in the thread, ten lines please.}



Accepted Original Characters

None at the moment.





Helpful hints with Roleplay Mechanics;
The Butterfly Effect.


This roleplay will rely heavily on the theory of the Butterfly Effect: Tiny changes in a timeline could lead to colossal changes in the end result. Your character is crushing a butterfly, so to speak, simply by being alive. Just by having your character in the roleplay, you'll be making minor changes to the story of Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). Your characters' choices and actions result in even more heavy changes.

If no one else wants Silver I'll take him :D
Then again, I could also pull off Meph, you decide

Nothing is very traditional at my place. Then again, couldn't that be a tradition?

Scourge: Sexy can kill.

Mmmmm....Crushed butterflies.




Okay, first off, the creator of this thread asaid that discussions belong in the Sign-up thread. And second, this is just pointless spam. Do not do it again.
