Finding your shape in the Void

Welcome to Re:Void

Re:Void is an adult collaborative storytelling game set in a world shaped from the raw substance of The Void — a place where nothing is fixed, where identity is chosen, and where the space between people holds as much meaning as the people themselves.

You arrive, as all things do, as a Wisp — a luminous, formless presence drifting through a world still being written. From there, you take shape. You choose a character. You find your place.

Re:Void is invitation-only and intended for adults. If you're here, someone vouched for you. Make yourself at home.

Your First Login

When you log in for the first time, you arrive as a Wisp — your OOC presence in the world. Here's what happens next:

  1. You'll see your Wisp state — a mood, a color, a formless presence. This is you, out of character. You can move through rooms, see who's around, and get a feel for the world before committing to a scene.
  2. Use chargen to begin creating your first character. You'll set a name, pronouns, species, and physical description. Take your time — you can edit everything later.
  3. Once your character is created, type ic <name> to step into them. You'll arrive in The Forming — the tutorial space — where you can orient yourself before entering the wider world.
  4. When you're ready to return to Wisp form (OOC), type ooc. Your character stays wherever they were — they'll be waiting when you come back.
Good to know

You can have up to 5 characters per account.

Your Wisp and all your characters share the same account — switch between them with ic <name>.

Type characters at any time to see your roster.


What Kind of Place Is This?

The Void is not empty — it never was. It is the substance from which everything is made, and everything that has been unmade returns to it. Re:Void's world exists at the edge of that boundary: places half-remembered, people in the process of becoming, stories that are still deciding how they end.

The tone is dark, intimate, and character-driven. Scenes can be emotional, sensual, strange, quiet, or all of these at once. There is no combat system, no levelling, no stats to min-max. What matters here is presence, collaboration, and the space between people.

If you've played other collaborative MU* games — MUSH, MOO, MUCK — Re:Void will feel familiar. If this is your first, think of it as a shared novel that everyone writes together, in real time, using simple text commands.

Moving Around

Rooms are connected by exits. Type the exit name (or its abbreviation) to move. look describes where you are and what's in it.

CommandWhat it does
look / lDescribes the current room and its contents.
look <person>Looks at a specific character or object.
examine <person>A closer look — reveals more detail if the target has set it.
north / n, south, etc.Move through an exit in that direction.
exitsLists all available exits from your current room.

Talking and Posing

Re:Void uses a standard set of communication commands. Everything your character says or does is visible to others in the same room.

CommandWhat it does
say <text> / "<text>Your character speaks aloud.
pose <text> / :<text>Narrates an action. (Laynie smiles quietly.)
emote <text>Like pose but always starts with your name.
whisper <person> = <text>A quiet word only that person hears.
mutter <text>Audible but indistinct — others hear that you spoke, not what.
ooc <text>An out-of-character comment visible to everyone in the room.
tell <person> = <text>A private message to another character, anywhere.
page <account> = <text>A private message to an account (OOC equivalent of tell).

Setting Up Your Character

Your character's identity is built from a set of description fields. Most commands accept no arguments to open the full text editor, or = <text> to set a value inline.

CommandWhat it does
setname <name>Sets your character's RP display name.
setpronouns <she/her>Sets pronouns (she/her, he/him, they/them, or custom).
setspecies <species>Sets your character's species/race.
setage <age>Sets your character's apparent age.
setdescOpens the editor for your physical description.
setdesc = <text>Sets a short physical description inline.
setbioOpens the editor for your character's biography.
setbodylang <text>A brief line showing your character's current body language at a glance.
setmood <mood>Sets your character's current mood tag.
sheetShows your full character sheet.

Clothing and Body Zones

Re:Void uses a zone system to track what your character is wearing and where. Zones are named body areas (neck, waist, wrists, etc.) that items can be placed on, in, or around.

CommandWhat it does
zone listShows all your character's zones and what's on them.
zone set <zone>Opens the editor to write a nude/base description for a zone.
wear <item> on <zone>Places a freeform item on a zone.
remove <item>Removes an item from a zone.
wardrobeShows your saved outfits.
outfit save <name>Saves your current worn items as a named outfit.
outfit wear <name>Applies a saved outfit.

Consent System and Safewords

Re:Void is a space built on explicit, ongoing consent. Nothing happens to your character without your agreement — and that agreement can be withdrawn at any time, without explanation.

Content flags let you signal what kinds of scenes you're open to. You set them on your own account; others can see them before engaging with you. The consent system also lets you grant or revoke specific permissions per-player.

CommandWhat it does
consentShows your current consent flags and grants.
consent set <flag> on/offToggles a content flag (casual, intimate, mature, etc.).
consent grant <person> <flag>Grants a specific person permission for a content type.
safewordImmediately pauses the scene for everyone in the room. Use it.
yellowA softer signal — slow down, check in, something's not quite right.
block <account>Blocks an account from interacting with your characters.
Important

Safewords are always in effect. No scene, however immersive, overrides them. If you see someone use safeword, stop immediately and check in OOC.

If something happens that made you uncomfortable and you're not sure how to address it in-game, reach out to staff via the contact page.


Ograms

An Ogram is a sealed message delivered by one of three couriers — Seraphine, Calix, or Vesper — to a character who isn't online. When the recipient next logs in, the courier arrives and delivers whatever was sent: a message, a gesture, an affection, or a formal invitation.

You can send an Ogram in-game or from the website mailbox.

CommandWhat it does
ogram <character>Opens the Ogram wizard to compose and send a message.
og <character>Shorthand for ogram.

Your inbox and outbox are also available from the website mailbox.


Writing Longer Text

Many commands — setdesc, zone set, ogram — open Re:Void's built-in text editor when used with no arguments. Inside the editor, normal commands are replaced by editor commands that start with :.

CommandWhat it does
Just typeAdds a line to the buffer.
:showPreviews the current buffer with line numbers.
:add <text>Appends a line explicitly.
:insert <#> <text>Inserts a line before line number.
:replace <#> <text>Replaces a specific line.
:erase <#>Deletes a line.
:clearClears the entire buffer.
:doneSaves and exits the editor.
:cancelDiscards changes and exits.
