"There were five worlds, each with their own histories and with their own people. And their own problems. Whether they were rotting from within by human corruption or there was a catastrophic power threatening to crash upon them, heroes rose from amongst the masses to try and save their respective worlds.
"On the Eighth planet, the Sorceress Ultimecia cast Time Kompression and threw all time and space into chaos. The SeeD Squall and his compatriots destroyed the Sorceress, but were never really able to revert the Kompression; they were able to find their little niche in time, however. This Kompressed existance proved to be extremely unstable, and Time and Space soon imploded in upon itself. Like a great tear in the fabric of the universe, Time Kompression spread and the other five worlds were absorbed in the chaos.
"Thus the land of Lanif Ysatnaf was born.
"The heroes of the different worlds were scattered around the world, some landing in familiar places, others in not so familiar, and spent a while getting used to what just happened. People who were supposed to be alive were dead, and the dead lived again. What should have been remembered was forgotten, and adults were children. Time itself was shuffled and people all along history were thrust into this chaos. People from the past were meeting those from the future. In the middle of all this, a man appeared, long auburn hair blowing in the wind. His face was masked in pure white porcelain and was wearing pure white clothing. He traveled with them, introducing himself as Xenos, and accompanied them on Setzer's airship: the Falcon. It wasn't long after that his true intentions were made clear- he had no interest in letting them live. With the powerful Dragon Queen Tiamat by his side, he successfully crashed the mighty airship and once again scattered the players. Battered and worn, but not beaten, the party decided to journey over the mountains to Junon for supplies. Unbeknownst to them, Xenos had a plan.
"Xenos traveled ahead of the heroes and swiftly allied the himself to the city. When the heroes arrived, they were greeted with a less than warm welcome. Forced to retreat, they followed Cloud's direction to the Underwater Reactor and their docked submarines. Xenos, too, was well aware of the only escape available beneath tons of pressing ocean. He sent Tiamat ahead to becon the serpent Evrae Altana from her deep slumber of death. When the heroes reached the glass tunnels, the great undead creature began to assault the one thing between them and a crushing end. It began with a simple crack in the thick glass, then a droplet. Soon, water poured into their precarious bubble. Aerith brought out her Materia and cast a Barrier to protect them when the tunnel walls failed. Slowly, they inched toward the airlock. Aerith, Rinoa, and Squall were the final three to enter when the ocean, and Evrae, rushed in. Squall, ever the gallant hero, pushed the two women into the closing door. They watched as the opeining shrank and blocked their view from the swordsman determined to protect his allies.
"Aerith was no longer able to keep up the weakening barrier and it was soon after the doors locked with a hiss that a terrible bass thunder filled the dry room. The wave crashed against the door. Squall was dead. Rinoa pressed herself against the seams of the door and listened to the heavy silence. Her eyes grew blank and distant when she backed away from the door. The white materia in Aerith's hair hummed resonant when the Sorceress unleashed Holy through the door. There was a screech as Evrae Altana dissolved beneath the ultimate white magic, then both mage women collapsed.
"It was much later when they awoke - tired, thirsty, and numb - on the shores just outside of the Opera House. Meanwhile, Xenos had taken Squall, slightly less than dead, to his tower: Ultimecia's Castle. There, he turned the knight to the villain's side...."

- One character per person unless given permission by a head admin.
- No godmoding or powerplaying
- Try to portray the character accurately, for instance Sephiroth is NOT a cuddly bunny and Squall is not a happy, bubbly guy.
- This is a roleplay, and as such long periods of not being in character and taking part in the story line, regardless of whether you're loggin in or not will get you eventually kicked off.
- This RP is unusual in that the threads act as a map of the various places in Infinity. And as such there must be a logical progression when travelling around them. Unless you have a special power you cannot have your character disapear in one place and reapear in another. Please refer to the map when deciding to head somewhere.
- Original characters are not allowed. Ever. There's only one exception, and he's been here longer than you. He's our way to avoid a cliche "zomgsefirothcomesbackfromtehdeadtosummonmeteoandkillusallagain!!!112!1@!11"
- On that same line, SEQUELS AREN'T ALLOWED!!! That includes Compilation (Advent Children and others) and Final Fantasy X-2. Nor do we accept Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy Tactics, Xenogears, or Chrono Trigger/Cross. Sorry, this isn't "Squaresoft Infinity" for a reason.
- Each character starts off with 1000 gil and their starter weapons in the game.
- No over exclamation! Don't be excited about everything!
- Use full sentences and keep your grammar and spelling at a good level.
- When in character, actions are described (eg. Sabin rased the sword high over his head and yelled), and things your character says are in quotation marks "like a book"
