Sooooo....you wanna be a World Builder eh? Well that's a pretty big undertaking to just jump right into such a creative endeavor of building a whole WORLD now isn't it? So let's make it easy on ya champ and give you an already premade outline for you to follow!

The whole purpose of this section is to get your creative juices flowing! Create a world like Li, or perhaps a new region of Li giving things your own spin! And be as detailed as possible! Or, make a world, city, region, or otherwise, that has nothing to do with Nintendo or Li at all and have fun with your own thing. Get feedback from other members and see if the motivation to make this world come to life strikes you so you can let it blossom in either a story you may be writing, an RP you may want to partake in, or heck, even a video game or art piece you are trying to make! No limits here to the kind of world YOU can create.

Here is an outline already plotted out for you to follow if you so desire, or simplify it to your own liking or do not follow it at all and do your own outline entirely for your world, area, region, or what have you. That's totally cool too!
