Well, with the server down and all, I think a good old fasioned forum RP is in order. In this case, it's a bit freeform and the storyline is open to player interaction. Anyone else interested is free to join with any of their characters.
As it is, the story has yet to really manifest itself. And may play over into ingame events once the server is up and running (depending on interest). The storyline isn't really centered on one particular group, so any factions or players are welcome and encouraged to participate.
