Every story, its characters, its plot, and its settings all come from the imagination of the writer. Most stories that aren't from the first person follow a certain set of guidelines. These guidelines ensure the story flows well and makes sense. The four major points of these guidelines are:
1. The writer places a wall between them self and the story, thus ensuring their involvement in the story is minimal.
2. Within most stories, there is a fourth wall that usually divides the characters from the reader.
3. With every story there is always some semblance of sense and explanation as to why certain things happen in the story.
4. Within most stories, the writer will make as many attempts as possible to have as few plot holes as possible.
...Now take all four of those guidelines and rip them up because this RP will not be following those conventional norms. In fact, it could approach the essence of what people would call "godmodding." Some people would argue there is no way in Hell that would work. Well, look all the way up at the top, because it seems to have worked for someone.
And now, an FAQ:

Bio: Alvino Tyler Castillon was a carefree child who loved to imagine things. Random things. And plot holes. He loved to write stories and daydream about them. However, the education system (ie: "The Man") seemed to bring him back down to reality, with criticism about such plot holes and random things being "improper." As a result, he was forced to follow the structure and the four guidelines that seemed to govern most third person stories. He grew up around the structure and followed it as close to the letter as possible.
One day, on Nation States, a friend showed him a group of stories called "Adventures of the Writer" by a writer named Der Blaue Wolf. As he read the collection of stories, he was utterly fascinated with the trampling of the structure. The Writer seemed to bend and twist every rule... and yet, still create a fascinating tale. Struck with inspiration, he started to write without such structure, with plot holes, and with nicely timed (or sometimes not so nicely timed) puns. Slowly, a world began to form around this, and it took the form of "RolePlays of the Writers."
