T H E * C I T Y * O F * T A X O N

taxonomites is a panfandom RPG, accepting characters from all media, as well as OCs. We are a small community, friendly to back-tagging, and eagerly looking for both supernormal characters as well as good old regular bog-standard humans. Characters from all eras are welcome.

A long, long time from now, ~~in a galaxy far far away~~ when Earth itself is but a memory, the only thing that remains of a species called humanity is the archeological footprint they have left behind in the form of fiction. Using the stories that humans once produced, a highly advanced alien intelligence has been attempting to reconstruct a bit of Earth... but when your primary sources are episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The People's Court, and when you have no real way to tell the difference between those and War and Peace... your attempts can get a little... skewed.

As far as characters in Taxon know, they have been abducted from their own worlds and lives and brought to a small and-in-some-ways idyllic ~~prison~~ city. However, life in Taxon is frequently dangerous, and surviving long enough to figure out why they're here and what is going on can be a challenge.

Taxon has an overarching metaplot to pursue, as well as frequent hilarity as things Go Wrong in the city. It's a good game for crack humor, but also for drama (the good kind, hopefully) and serious plotlines.

We're a great game for those oddball characters that don't fit particularly well anywhere else-- the background characters from obscure canons, the OCs you haven't found a community for, the character that you are certain you are the only person in all of fandom to have heard of (but you're not!). AU versions of characters are permitted, as well as duplicate versions of characters. Due to the nature of Taxon as an alien experiment, characters are not allowed to canon-puncture for other characters.

Interested? Come check us out, read the FAQ, poke at the application. Then take a breath and jump on into Taxon.
