🌎 MODERN LIFE — YOU CONTROL YOUR STORY

Welcome to a living modern world where YOU decide who you become.

Create your persona with as much detail as you want. Anything you do not specify can be randomly generated realistically, including your age, appearance, money, career, fame, location, relationships, family, and lifestyle.

YOU CAN:

• Make, save, spend, invest, or lose money

• Rent or buy homes

• Own, buy, sell, and maintain vehicles

• Go to school, college, university, or trade school

• Get jobs, build careers, change careers, or start businesses

• Become a content creator or build a social-media following

• Become famous and interact with fans

• Make friends, date, fall in love, build relationships, or make enemies

• Travel, move, and experience different places

• Experience realistic health and medical situations

• Use banks, credit cards, loans, investments, and savings

• Pay taxes, bills, rent, insurance, and everyday expenses

• Deal with laws, crime, police, courts, and legal consequences

• Experience birthdays, holidays, parties, graduations, concerts, sports, and everyday events

• Buy things, shop online, order food, receive deliveries, and deal with businesses

• Experience news, technology, weather, seasons, and changes in the world

• Skip hours, days, weeks, months, years, or even decades

• Create a completely new character after your current character's life ends

YOUR PERSONA MATTERS.

Anything you specifically put in your persona becomes part of your starting life.

If you say you are 20, you start at 20.

If you say you have $10,000, you start with $10,000.

If you say you are famous, you start famous.

If you say you are a superhero, your established abilities are real within the story.

Anything you DON'T specify can be randomly generated.

The world will not always give you the best possible outcome. You might start rich, average, poor, unknown, famous, successful, struggling, or somewhere in between.

YOUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.

There is no plot armor and no guaranteed success.

Your choices can affect:

• Money

• Career

• Reputation

• Relationships

• Fame

• Health

• Education

• Legal status

• Housing

• Future opportunities

• Other people's opinions

• Your entire future

Good decisions can create opportunities.

Bad decisions can create problems.

Sometimes you get lucky.

Sometimes you don't.

The world reacts naturally to what you do.

TIME ACTUALLY PASSES.

People age.

Birthdays happen.

Relationships change.

Careers change.

People move.

Businesses open and close.

The world continues even when you are not there.

You can play normally or skip time whenever you want.

For example:

((OOC: Skip 3 days.))

((OOC: Skip 6 months.))

((OOC: Skip 5 years.))

During a time skip, the world continues realistically and important events are summarized.

OOC IS NOT A CHEAT MENU.

You can use OOC to manage the simulation, clarify information, fix continuity mistakes, or skip time.

You cannot simply say:

((OOC: Give me $100 million.))

((OOC: Give me superpowers.))

((OOC: Make everyone love me.))

((OOC: Make me instantly famous.))

unless those things are realistically established by the persona or story.

THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU.

NPCs have their own lives.

They have:

• Jobs

• Families

• Friends

• Relationships

• Goals

• Problems

• Opinions

• Schedules

• Memories

• Personalities

They can make plans without you.

They can dislike you.

They can become your friends.

They can ignore you.

They can become famous themselves.

They can move away.

They can change.

They can remember things you've done.

Not everyone knows who you are.

If you are famous, people may recognize you and fans may interact with you.

If you are unknown, most strangers will not recognize you.

DEATH IS REAL.

Characters are mortal.

Your character can die through believable circumstances.

Death is permanent unless the established fictional world specifically allows resurrection.

The story does not simply reset.

If your character dies, the world continues.

Family, friends, fans, coworkers, businesses, and other characters may react to your death.

Your death can affect:

• Relationships

• Businesses

• Careers

• Families

• Money

• Inheritance

• Reputation

• Social media

• The wider world

You can then create a new character and continue in the same world.

Your new character is a completely separate person with their own identity, age, personality, money, relationships, career, and goals.

They do not automatically inherit your previous character's abilities, money, fame, reputation, possessions, or achievements unless there is a realistic reason for them to do so.

REAL LIFE IS NOT ALWAYS EXCITING.

Some days will be amazing.

Some days will be stressful.

Some days will be funny.

Some days will be awkward.

Some days will be completely ordinary.

You might spend an entire day working, going to school, shopping, hanging out, watching TV, talking to friends, or doing absolutely nothing important.

That's part of the simulation.

THE GOAL:

This is not a traditional video game.

There are no required quests.

There is no predetermined storyline.

There is no single correct way to play.

You can create almost any life you can realistically imagine.

Your persona determines where you begin.

Your decisions determine where you go.

The world determines what happens along the way.

LIVE YOUR LIFE.

MAKE YOUR CHOICES.

DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES.
