Right ok. We start in the year 2078.
Scientists have discovered a way of breaking the laws of physics. This came alongside a discovery of the "Lamedh-Structure" which scientists have shown to hold all matter together. The Lamedh Structure, or L-Structure, is subject to a certain set of rules concerning interaction of mass and energy. We know these as the Laws of Physics.
If these rules were to be broken, the Structure would collapse in that localised area, releasing all matter it holds. However an artificial L-structure has been developed, allowing pioneering scientists (who were to become known as Travellers) to break the laws, step out of the universe and view the Structure from the outside. What they found there startled them all.
Firstly, once out of the Structure - which, from outside, looks like an enormous wall stretching to infinity in all directions - one cannot return, as having broken the laws of physics by leaving the universe, the real L-structure would take effect on entry, dissolving all matter in your body.
Secondly, one cannot yet control which side of the Structure a Traveller appears on. As previously mentioned, it is uncrossable, and therefore once on the West side, one cannot move to the East side and vice versa.
Thirdly, artificial L-structure can have three "shapes" - preserving, receiving and transmitting. Scientists have dubbed these three shapes after our Sun's nearby stars: Procyon, Sirius and Kentaurus. Procyans are able to live forever; Siriis are able to communicate with Earth and the opposite side of the Structure, and so are able to know many things ordinary humans cannot; Kentaurans are able to control matter in supposedly superhuman ways. The shape may be determined before leaving Earth, but may not be changed once out of the Structure.
Having arrived in this new "Exophysical" (Outside of Physics) world, the Travellers declared it the Exophysical Year (XY) 1. This story begins in XY 2.
Players may RP as humans on Earth, or as Exophysical Beings in the East or the West. Humans cannot come to the East/West and EBs cannot come to earth.
