Individual on-journal permissions posts can get a little messy, especially since everyone can have new and different powers from canon in this musebox! So let's put them all together.
You can link to a permissions post if you already have one in your journal, or create one here using this:
Finally, it might be helpful if you also list a couple of your character's major abilities, especially if they differ from canon.

Any good game has events! Whether they be pranks by faerie critters or some novice mage's spell gone wrong or monster attacks or world-shattering cataclysms, there are all kinds of events.
Thing is, I can't think of everything myself, and I don't wanna do things that you folks aren't interested in, so this is where you can drop me a suggestion of what kind of event should come up.
There can be mundane events, like a large-scale hunt, festival, people-planned events, spells with unfortunate but amusing outcomes. There can be dangerous but not catastrophic events, such as thieves raiding a city, large scale fae pranks, foul weather, etc. There can be major events, such as dragons attacking a city, an evil mage who needs to be stopped, wars between nations, natural disasters. And there can be plot events - if some storyline or another is coming up on a major plot point that will affect a large part of the community, drop me a note here, I'll help work things out.
This is what the NPCs on this journal are for. They'll help ICly alert characters to these events if they aren't hosted by one of the player characters.

Every good book of stories includes a few different ones, and that's what this post will be. Due to the AU nature of OUAB, canon lines are blurred. If you want your Sailor Scout to be tied to what Ash, Brock, and Misty are involved in, go ahead. If you don't want Leonardo to hang out with the other Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and would rather have him doing something else, that's fine too! Castmates don't have to be defined by canon.
Instead, list what your character's main plot, if they have one, will be here - maybe elaborate a little if you've come up with later details and plot points - and take a look around. Poke plots that seem right for characters who aren't involved.
Of course, there are no real limits on what your character can be involved in, and all of these plotlines will intersect. Your character can participate in major events and minor ones related to a plot without being tied tot hat plot! This is just for those who'd like to have a general storyline to set their character on, or who'd prefer to build a cast or party based on characters in similar situations.

This musebox is extremely sandbox-y, so there are no hard boundaries or locations.
However! These things are useful to us on an OOC level. So this post is a list of locations, areas, countries, and points of interest that definitely exist within the world of OUAB. If you have a place to add, tell us what it is and a few choice details about it - whatever you want, from a few words to a few paragraphs.
Details could include who lives there, why it's important, where it is in relation to other places, tolerance of magic, monsters, that sort of thing. Just something more than a name!
This post will also be used to update area information. For example, if a town listed on here gets destroyed by dragons, tag the appropriate comment with an update to say it was destroyed by dragons! This will help prevent confusion.
