Welcome to A Shared Dream, an Inception RP based in the universe created by Christopher Nolan!
A Shared Dream is a future-based (that is, it takes place after the Fischer job) roleplay community that allows both canon and original characters. The game is an open book - members are free to explore both the real and dream worlds of their characters. Along with that, challenges will occasionally be issued in the form of jobs - everyone will have a role to play! For more details about the current plots and characters, please look here.
Below the cut is an FAQ where you can learn more about the community!

Read the rules? Checked out the FAQ? Now it's time to apply for a character!
Here at
a_shared_dream, we accept applications for both canon and original characters. Want to be another extractor? Want to be an architect like Ariadne? Want to be a projection that tries to screw up missions? Anything goes! You can see the list of taken characters here. Please do not attempt to apply as a taken character - we will post notices when a character opens up.You have two options: to post your application right away, or to place a hold on your desired character while you work on the application. Your hold will last 48 hours. If, after the 48 hours, you have not posted your application, your hold expires and the character is up for grabs. If the character you desire is on hold, you may put your name down and let us know that you're interested; if the hold expires, we'll give you a 48 hour hold. If the character is taken, feel free to apply for someone else or invent an original character!
Below are two applications: one for canon film characters and one for original characters. Please fill one out and post it as a comment here, using your character's journal! We highly recommend that you read the rules first (hint, hint).
Please note: At the time of applying, your character's journal must contain a Friends Only page, a profile (with a short bio, image and disclaimer - feel free to use the ones found on either mod journals), several icons, and an unlocked first entry (written in first person as your character).
If you have any questions about the application process, please don't hesitate to come here and ask the mods. Comments are screened.

It has been a little over a year after Cobb's team performed the first known successful inception on Robert Fischer. In the intervening months, when the heat on their tentative organizational base in Paris became too much, the team has scattered to the corners of the globe, re-forging old connections and making new ones with veterans and newcomers to the business alike. When Ariadne and Eames are suddenly affected by a pair of shades more virulent and terrifying than even Mal, with the help of former mark Robert Fischer and ex-FBI agent Constantine Fitzweiss, Arthur and other members of the dreamshare community begin to suss out a pattern. As the roots of the shade virus become clear and the endgame of the anarchists behind it moves forward, members of a once-cutthroat business must make a choice: band together to save the world of dreamshare, or join the terrorists intent upon tearing down the framework of government and starting anew?

First of all I want to say thank you guys for being so wonderful & making my time here so enjoyable.
It has come to my realization that I've been letting you guys down as a Mod. Due in part to my attitude & my past experience with games over a year in age, I have had feelings that it was time to let this one begin to play itself out. However, I also realize that I did not build this community but instead inherited it, and that's not entirely my decision to make. What it is today and has been in the past is all you guys and your efforts.
On that note, effective immediately, I am resigning from my position as Mod, in favor of the community moving in a direction mutually decided on by its members.
What does this mean? I will put forth a few options:
1. We all shake hands & agree "good run". I know as a group we're all friends. Ending the game here, on a relatively positive note, we can move forward into new games & explore new characters.
2. As a group, you agree on a new moderator or moderators. I will transfer ownership of the communities over & agree to finish the current plot with my characters (whom I know withdrawing right now would leave a lot of people in the lurch if they wanted to continue) before I resign entirely.
3. We declare the Comm 'closed', but we all finish the current plot before moving on.
This is by no means a definitive list of options. However, irregardless of the decision reached by the community, this plot will be the last one for me.
What I won't be doing is shutting down or deleting any of the communities. They will all remain as archives & open to posting by members. If you guys want to continue to share scenes occasionally, or need to access old scenes for nostalgia, they will always be there for you. The comm will serve as an archive.
I will also keep 'cantconthiscon' as my primary screen name on AIM, so if you need to get in touch with me for any reason, I will be there and available like I usually am.
Thank you guys for such a good place to be. I have deeply enjoyed my time here working with you, but my policy always has been that when I start to be angry or frustrated, or stop having fun in something that I do for fun, it's time to move on.
Keep being awesome guys,
-Max.

ATTENTION:
At this time, we are no longer accepting applications for a) new members of Cobb's team, or b) rivals who are planning to take down Cobb's team. This is due to a balance issue with our current characters. We are looking for new extractors to create new teams, canon members of Cobb's team, or new characters who do jobs on a for-hire basis!
If you have any questions about the application process, please don't hesitate to come here and ask the mods. Comments are screened.
NOTE: If you had an active application on the old post, I apologize for the inconvenience, but if you could repost it over here, we would really appreciate it. Thank you for your patience!

Hello everyone! Modpost time!
Guess what -a_shared_dream's one-month anniversary is coming up! It's this Sunday. :D I'm stoked with how many members we have - when Jess and I started this place up, we were convinced that it'd just be us and our few friends that we forced to join, flailing about. Look how much we've grown!
Since we've grown, and have lots of people playing, I think it's looking like time we drop a few kind ~modly notes~. Let's not call them rules, that sounds harsh. Modly notes are much better.
Please, everyone, take a minute to give this a read.
( Click here for modly notes!Collapse )
Okay, I think that's everything. I know I get super-wordy, guys, so I'm sorry. We're just trying to make sure that everyone stays on the same page and that things stay balanced, so that everyone can have fun!
Please do me a favour and comment on this post once you've read it. It's important that everyone understand the points I've brought up. Thank you! :D
Now back to your regularly scheduled gameplay~
