+====== Origin Story ======
+=====Introduction=====
+//Origin Story// is a game about young people dealing with changes to their body that they didn't ask for and don't understand; who feel different to their peers and live in a world that doesn't want them; who must define the identity they want to be known by.
+{{:forum1.jpg?270 |SparkInYou.org}} Players play as teenagers or young adults living in the city of [[Citropolis]], on an online support forum for young people with superpowers. People with superpowers, known as [[the spark|Sparks]], are seen by many as dangerous and destabilising members of society -- many Sparked people keep their powers secret, or live a double life. Teens often hide their sparks, ashamed, and find no support for dealing with a very different puberty.
+[[SparkInYou.org]] is a place for Sparked youth to find community and understanding. A space where they can unapologetically be themselves… and decide what that means to them. The game will focus on cooperation and community, with most of the plot being highly personal -- characters working on the unique [[struggles]] that brought them to the forum.
+=====Details and Format=====
+//Origin Story// will be a text based game, consisting of [[Uptime]] on the //Origin Story// Discord, which represents the time your character spends on the forum, and [[Downtime]], where you will submit a turnsheet telling the GM team what your character gets up to between sessions, and receive a write up from the GMs about how that turned out! In //Origin Story//, each Downtime will represent **one month** for the characters, and you will have one major action representing your key focus during that time.
+The forum will be purely text based, with no audio or video components in uptime.
+Out of character, the sessions will run **fortnightly**, starting on **Tuesday 27th July**, with an optional Character Creation session on Tuesday 20th July. Sessions will begin at **7:00pm** (**BST**) and run for 3 hours. The table below shows when each session will occur:
+^ Session ^ Date ^
+| Character Creation | Tuesday 20th July |
+| Session 1 | Tuesday 27th July |
+| Session 2 | Tuesday 10th August |
+| Session 3 | Tuesday 24th August |
+| Session 4 | Tuesday 7th September |
+| Session 5 | Tuesday 21st September |
+| Session 6 | Tuesday 5th October |
+| Debrief | Tuesday 19th October |
+//Origin Story// has a player cap of 25. If we get more applications than this, players will be decided by a lottery. More details are on the Wrap Up section of the [[https://forms.gle/FUQxfMcNtuwvh2sw8 |character creation form]].
+=====Where next?=====
+There are several routes through the wiki and places to go next, depending on what's exciting to you!
+  * If it's your first time playing an OURPGSoc Society Game, we recommend reading the [[newtoroleplaying|New to Roleplaying]] section.
+  * Otherwise, you can head on over to the [[Creating a Character]] page, which will walk you through creating a player character for the game.
+  * Alternatively, you can find out more about the setting by heading to the pages on [[Citropolis]] or [[The Spark]].
+  * Finally, [[Style and Tone]] will give you an overview of the aesthetic and themes of //Origin Story//.
