OOC: Imperfection

Postby Suraru » Tue Feb 19, 2013 12:01 am

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

So I'm actually going to make a hardcore, legit, professional role play \o/
Now when I say professional, I don't mean only people who write books like Napsii, but people who make decent posts like Sugar, Misc, Icaelus, Zender, Reaver, etc. Basically if often you make posts under a paragraph, you may want to skip this or I'll kill you off early and be probably mean about it. I'll try to give your character a lot to do so that doesn't happen, but roleplaying is an art that is made by everyone, players and GMs are both vital aspects and both need to be good at what they do or the roleplay is going to suck.
Earlier I made a post in the recruitment thread, but it kinda sucked, so I'm just going to decided to make the OOC and gather a bunch of players, and maybe a coGM or two. I thought it out, and I have a bone structure for the story, but anything can happen. Mechanics are simple and will be explained in the first few pages, from there we flesh out a full story with a deep characters, a complete plot, and twists that make sense while avoiding new mechanics to dues ex machina you guys into a good ending.
I will kill off characters in a horrible, sometimes unavoidable way, and unless your really good at roleplaying, I might decline you making a second sheet. Regardless of what I said above, good roleplaying wont save you, but intelligence and good planing might. I'll throw you a few curve balls, but at the same time piles of shit to throw your characters into hell. There won't be a lot of erotic play, so if you're here for the sex, wrong place!

Now, time for the actual story. You are a normal person, a human being trying to survive in a world that is slowly but surely collapsing. Some of you have it easier than others, but regardless you are human, and you are not perfect, which is why you willingly or not, assisted in the world collapsing. Now you have to survive against a world gone wild, and yourself from stupid mistakes and possibly depression. Remember that you don't have to carry your burden alone, but also remember that you can't trust anyone.

Being a survival RP, but an artful one, the character sheet is left vague on purpose. You can add what you wish to it (name, appearance, history, exact variables, etc), but the only things actually needed are your gender, age, and some basic skills and weaknesses like how strong or smart you all. Try not to be an all rounding Mary Sue or you'll get killed off quicker. Mistakes and weaknesses might actually keep you alive longer in this ;)

When actually roleplaying, try to think ahead and plan using the mechanics given to you. which you will figure out shortly after everything goes to hell. Don't be afraid to assume reactions on things (not people), because chances are the same thing will happen more then once under the same circumstances. I'll try to keep hidden factors to a minimum, but I'll make it obvious when there is one.

So go ahead and post if your interested in a deep thought survival RP, and you can maintain professionalism.

Edit: Changed the name, Obruomentis is now a code in the actual story


Original post /\ /\

Still taking apps!
Just throw in some random information, there isn't really a character sheet. Just make sure you include a list of weaknesses and strengths, and know that your weaknesses will actually save you more in this than your strengths will.

Suraru running a legit roleplay? I have to see this, chances are it might actually be good. What's with the title though? I ran it through google and found nothing, until I added the word translate, then it separated the words Obruo and mens, and the dictionary told me it was something like the overwhelm the mind, but mens could also be mentis, which would sound cooler.

Anyways, I'll chug out a character sheet later, also maybe change the title to Imperfection, and Obruomentis to some mechanic for the collapse of the world, but this is just my input, don't take what I say as law.

Name: Jonathan Edge.
Age: 27.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: (note: the red eyes are a genetic oddity.)
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Image


Perks:
-High proficiency with automatic firearms, such as SMGs and assault rifles.
-Minor skill with CQC-type combat, supplemented by his more agile frame.
-Prosthetic left arm feels no pain, and has a mini-radio built into it, just in case.

Flaws:
-Has a slightly lower tolerance for psychoactive chemicals, such as drugs and alcohol.
-His agility comes at the price of endurance, meaning he can't stand quite as many hits as a more "average" man of his ability. He won't go down like a chump, but he still relies on his agility for defense.
-He's a bit of a sucker for the ladies, and vice versa. While this means that he has more popularity with them, it also makes him more susceptible to feminine wiles...which can work against his interests, as well as for them.

Backstory:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Jon is a retired mercenary, which is where his combat skills originate. He was known as the "Razor's Edge" on missions, known for being great in "plan B" situations when the original strategy went awry. In other words, when all else failed, he didn't. His reasons for retiring were rather straightforward: the life of a merc was proving increasingly dangerous to his health, especially after that one battle he lost his original left arm in, and when his PMC group started going for far shadier clients...yeah.

More recently, Jon has made several appearances at game tournaments large and small, often signing up for the fighting game divisions. He has often placed in the top 3 in SpiritCalibur tourneys, and in some regions, he is renowned as the undefeated champion of Hyper Slam Bros Rumble. Surprisingly enough, that reputation has netted him nights with some pretty hot girls in the past.

Jon currently takes up residence in an apartment complex, and spends his days either working his day shift at the local shooting range, practicing for the next game tourney, or having a hot night of pleasure with the gal of the occasion...though, that last one doesn't seem to happen as often lately, for whatever reason...*sigh*...

Two players? Good enough, I can add more as the story goes assuming we gain some popularity.

I'll have the IC up in a bit.

Backstory:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Alex didn't always live a shitty life like it is now.

He spent his early years at school. Although he excelled in all his courses, he had serious anxiety. At an early age he was taking depressants and medicine to keep down his nerves, it was serious. At the age 18 though, he met the love of his like, Emily. The two of them really hit it off. Finishing high school, they both ran away together. They moved into a decent apartment and both got well paying jobs. Even though they were young, he was smart and she was talented in making music. It's hard to explain why but when Alex met Emily he felt more relaxed. Eventually his anxiety went away and he stopped taking his meds, he was the happiest he had ever been.

Then it happened... One day, when he was 21, he was coming home from work he got a phone call. Emily was in the ER. Alex ran as fast as he could to the hospital and by the time he got there a doctor was waiting for him. She died. A few men raped her and ended her life.

Alex, after the event, immediately became depressed. His whole life began to fall apart. The anxiety came back and he started to get hooked on substances to calm himself. He lost his job and his home, moving into a shitty apartment with no work.

One year has gone by, and now at 22, he had just started to get over the death of Emily. He still is a druggie and unemployed, barley getting by.

Suraru Wrote:*Yeah, let's not do an entire Google translate thing here XD

You walk downstairs when you notice Ling walk out of her room. You plan to ambush her, in a friendly way. You try your hands at Chinese when you see her walk down "Nǐ hǎo, líng. Bùcuò ba, shì bùshì?" to which she replies in a laughing matter "Nǐ de zhōngguó hěn làn, nǐ yīnggāi liànxí duō yīxiē." You understand this as something along the lines of the Chinese belonging to you, sucking, and something about practicing in great numbers. She giggles and says in English "Yes, this is a good day. If you hit on me, let's go get some tea."


LOL. I speak pretty good Chinese so if you need support there I can help do more proper mandarin. For google translate it's not too bad but still, the way it's written could be better.

You aren't waiting on me are you? Because I think I'm going to drop out. At first I had some will power, but my writing spark has been really low lately. Also, change your damn signature before I report it. :-/
