Future RP Ideas

[Leyyuce]

You'll be putting the OP up tonight, then?

[Eltee]

No, no. I don't want to be impulsive. I like to take my time, I just came up with the concept twenty-odd hours ago.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

I am hoping to make it relatively quick, so I can make episodic reincarnations. New locations, new stories.

Now, I just need a name and a dramatic intro.

Mission: Improbable.

[Leyyuce]

I was under the impression, given your prior post, that all was readied save for name and literal introduction- disregard my query as to start date.

[Deandra]

I like that name. Also, I love the concept and want to join, but it looks like the RP is already full before you even made the OP

But hey, if you're doing multiple incarnations, I guess I can wait til the sequel to join.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Oh, I bet you could join if you ask him nicely.

[Leyyuce]

No one's committed themselves, have they?

[Gideon Dragontongue]

No.

Choice: Marseilles

Spoiler:

In life, we are presented with choices. Choices we ignore, choices we anxiously await. There are choices we cherish, choices we regret to our dying day. Sometimes we die defending choices we'll never exploit, sometimes we sell choices that could have been our salvation.

There are many choices in life. But, there is one that eludes us, and will elude us forever: We cannot choose to be someone we aren't. When your family is dying of an unknown plague around you, you cannot choose to have a Doctorate in Pathology. When death is on your heels, you cannot choose to be an Olympic runner. A small girl cannot choose to be bigger and stronger, when she is at the mercy of her captors, and a bodybuilder cannot choose to be small enough squeeze through a tiny gap, even if the alternative is death.

We make many choices in life, but we cannot chose to be the person our situation demands us to be.

Welcome to Choice.

The date is August 3rd, 2012. Marseilles, France, a city filled with the whisper of history palpable above the jumbled thousands of voices and names that make their home here today, even if it is merely temporarily.

- - -

You are here. Whether you are here on a vacation, or you are here on a business trip, or you are a local who calls Marseilles home, you are a normal person, you are not a ninja or a soldier or anything of the sort. Before the Roleplay starts, you will post your character, which may or may not be approved by me. I'd like you to be relatively experienced, and active. If you are accepted, talk to the others who are accepted. There will probably be between four and six of you. If you like, you can create linking backstories. You can be friends, lovers, business partners... But, I would advise having some connection to the other players. You MUST speak fluent English, even if you are a local. Your character must be flawed, imperfect. It will be up to you whether their good points overcome the bad.

I suppose I should give you a character sheet, shouldn't I?

Ideas?

By the way, it is not first come first serve. I will be picky.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

I like it. Any possible meaning to the date? Any sort of 2012 disaster in store?

[Arch-Mage Matt]

I like it, but just friendly advice, don't be so picky as to create a situation, please.

[Eltee]

I won't, trust me. I'll base it on the quality of submitted characters, and more importantly on the player's activity.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

One thing: I don't love the lack of guns and weapon skills, it would be fun to have a cop or something. I was thinking maybe an actor, so trained in stage fencing.

[Eltee]

I'd prefer it if you avoided those professions.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

I'll probably do a dramatist of some sort. Without weapon skills. *sigh*

[Eltee]

Well, an actor would be okay. A major movie star, maybe not.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Sorry, I meant like a Shakespearean actor.

[Eltee]

Oh! That would be absolutely fine.

[Gideon Dragontongue]

Great! Any idea when this might start?

[Eltee]

No clue, as of yet.

[MARS]

I already have several characters in mind. I like the concept. I like normalness.

[Deandra]

Oh man, oh man...

It's ok if I haven't used French since high school, right?

[Frost Mage]

That sounds really interesting, Eltee. I'll be thinking up some characters.

[Kerr]

I might make a Fallout RP once the leaving cert is over. Probably would be using an even simpler version of the Simple system. We'll see.
