MAZE TRIALS RP
A collaborative Role Playing forum game inspired by the Maze Trials, credit the Skinstealers for source material.

Ground Rules
- All content created within this RP is considered fanon.
- No participant must incorporate their participation into official canon or their fanon.
- Both Overseers and Subjects must follow each Player's blacklist.
- Harassment, such as malicious incorporation of blacklisted material, will be met with a zero-tolerance policy within the RP and may result in moderator action if sufficiently severe.

Now that the housekeeping is out of the way, let us begin. Spoilers are ahead.

The Maze Trials is a unique setting within Morbit, taking a distinctly experimental and dark tone at times that exemplifies the nature of Morbitian science. 
Within the Maze Trials, newly spawned TCPs are subjected to various trials to shape the TCP towards a particular role or purpose. 
This is exemplified by the Test Subject files. Found here and here.

There are two roles for characters to have in Maze Trials. There are Overseers; researchers and scientists, and there are Subjects; TCPs who have been spawned and placed into the trials.

In this RP, you will have the opportunity to serve both roles.

OVERSEERS
Overseers will be designing each test chamber, defining the setting for the trial, and any puzzles, as well as a blacklist of things they wouldn't be comfortable writing about. They shall do so building off the prompt that the player behind the subject has provided.

SUBJECTS
Subjects will be providing the character, the prompt, and a blacklist of topics you don't want the character to possibly interact with. And then taking their provided text chamber and writing the story of their character experiencing it.

STEPS

2. First, the subject will provide their character, prompt, and blacklist to their Overseer.
   
3. The Overseer will then take that information and design a test chamber for the character to experience.
   
4. The Subject will then receive that test chamber and ideally write a small short story detailing their character's experience in that chamber and the conclusion.
   
5. Additionally, Overseers and Subjects are welcome to collaborate on the short story, if they so wish, but the writing power/final say remains in the Subjects' hands.
   
6. Then the Subject shall become the next Overseer, and select a new subject from the list of applicants.
   

Additionally, Subjects are encouraged to record their trials, either the full story or a summary, within a profile similar to those of the canon test subject profiles.
Feel free to post them here.
