What is the Rift?

An OCC/IC Introduction

OOC OVERVIEW
The Dimensional Rift is an endless collection of planes of different realities (represented as a Nation) which through technology, magic, or other phenomena have become finitely connected (represented by this Region).
The intent of this Region is to cultivate Roleplay between characters and nations that would normally be impossible in other NS Regions--such as a knight trying to comprehend life onboard a space station, a stringent scientist whose research is defied in a world of magic, a Pokemon trainer that finds herself in a Fallout post-apocalyptic wasteland, or even tangents of the Star Wars universe in which the Death Star was never destroyed. The possibilities are completely up to you, the players.
The spirit at the core of all this is Exploration of each other's Creativity. Each Nation of this Region is expected to illustrate through Factbooks and RMB the reality in which their Nation exists, and each Nation is encouraged to interact with the other realities of this Region through characters and politics. Develop relationships, interweave storylines, inspire epiphanies in one another.
It is important to note that no one's creativity will take precedence over another--that is to say, the only limits that will be imposed are the extent of influence one player has over the reality controlled by another. If you are here for conquest, do not expect you will be invading or obliterating other Nations (unless they specifically invite you to do so). Again, the spirit here is Exploration, not Domination. The winners here are those that create the most captivating and intriguing stories, enticing others to partake in and share the ride. (See Rules for more information.)

IC OVERVIEW
A discovery has been made, one that bends a tremendous crease in the fabric of understanding life, reality, and all of existence for your Nation--whether they realize it yet or not. Maybe it's as obvious as a glowing tear in the sky above a mega-metropolitan hub, or maybe it's as secret as the triumph of one lone mad scientist's life work infringe technology, but it is a phenomenal discovery nonetheless: the existence of other Realms, and the ability to travel to them, through an interwoven network that will become known as the Rift.
And then, a chillingly unanswerable question: what other Realms have also discovered the Rift, and through it, could theoretically now travel into your Realm? What if they already have?
How your Nation's people--or person--react and respond to this discovery is entirely up to you, as is your Realms means of connection and navigation through Rift. Is it a portal summoned by your realm's most prestiguous wizards, with no direction to where it leads? Is it a new age of warp technology that can precisely point its user to their intended destination? Maybe it's just a rabbit hole through which your Alice goes tumbling into a single other Realm.
The possibilities are endless, but only possible if you take that first step through the Looking Glass. Be brave. Be bold. Be prepared.
Welcome to the Dimensionl Rift. The other side awaits you.
