The Real . . . an unusual structure hidden from the world’s eyes that maintains its own dimension within. No one knows who owns it, or why it was built, but it houses something special. Under special guidance, this structure has been utilized to host a most grand tournament!

Around the world, artists of many calibers have been invited to participate. Each artist obtains a special tool that suits their personal preferences. They very quickly discover that this tool is imbued with the ability to give the one and only holder the power to summon their OCs as physical beings!

“Welcome Artist,

You are invited to be a part of an Original Character Tournament greater than any tournament of its time! With your new ability, your OCs shall protect and fight for you against other competing artists. A most marvelous prize awaits the last one standing. We look forward to your presence at The Real!

- The Real

P.S. Please watch your step.”

After reading the invitation, you realize that the next doorway or space you pass through becomes not the place you originally wished to enter, but instead opens the doors to the confines of The Real. . .
