meminisse is an original role-play game. That is to say that all characters portrayed within are the intellectual property of their players and the concept is the intellectual property of the moderation. It is played in the community meminisse via third-person narrative and in individual character journals via first person interaction. Supplementary information can be found inthe mod journal at reminiscente and all out-of-character information takes place in dememoria.

The game takes place within the world of Meminisse, specifically amongst the students of one of the five major universities: Marrowston. The oldest and most prestigious of the schools for higher education, Marrowston University teaches its students about the gifts they have been given upon accepting their place in this strange and fascinating new land. Nested into a secluded meadow, just within the walls of the Tanglewood, Marrowston houses near 200 undergrads, as well as a decently sized staff, and also opens its doors to commuting graduate students. Not possessing the space for its own sports fields, the university uses facilities within the nearby river city of Thornwell.

It began with a people who were forgotten in a place that time forgot and, since then, the world of Meminisse has proven that it can sense its own. Like it opened itself to the first, it opens itself to those who need it most. Those who are ignored, abused and forgotten, those who are forever taken for granted, those who have simply never belonged - they are the ones who belong here. These days, most of those who step through are children of various ages. They are the ones who most need to escape, the ones who are most desperate for care and safety. Unfortunately, they are also the ones most susceptible to the darkness of this world, because no world is entirely made of light.

Whatever power created Meminisse was not a power that believed in the faults of human memory. From the very beginning, it has taken into itself that which the world known as Earth has left behind. The people who inhabit it are a combination of those forgotten, like the pieces which make up their world, and those born to the forgotten since this new world began. They are the abandoned whom Meminisse will never abandon and they have been gifted with a portion of her magic, a magic which must be trained. Those who come to her from Earth are the children who generally find themselves surrounded by strange happenings and unnerving coincidence. They are an innocence needed to balance out the very evil that has so often oppressed them on Earth.

The story is set in modern times. Game-play begins in the summer of 2011 and all events portrayed take place on the date of the post, unless otherwise specified within the writing itself. That means that all characters within the game, with exception of perhaps some NPCs, are up-to-date with everything going on in the world as the audience knows it until they find themselves within the world of Meminisse.

There is, at the beginning of this, only one moderator: Otto. Should you have any questions about the game, he can currently be contacted via notifications sent to the mod journal, reminiscente, comments left on this entry or e-mails sent to meminissemods[at]gmail.com.
