This is my second attempt at a controlled roleplay story and environment. You guys might have seen The Five Facets of my Personality: The Half-Naked Mind (also known as The Endless Song) back on PSOW. I want to try the same here.
The roleplay involves 6 characters: me, and five other people. The first five to reply (no PMs, this is unfair to others!) with a demand to join in are in. If a character permanently leaves the story at some point, a new one may replace him, unless we're too far in (in this case I'll explicitly say no more characters)
Basic guidelines:
1) If possible, use your PO character. If you don't have one, or believe your PO isn't up for the job, feel free to make one up.
2) The theme is Industrial Revolution. That means steam engines, smoke, heavy machinery, locomotives, pressure, whistles, etc. This is flexible according to your imagination. Nothing stops us from encountering a steam spider or magnetized circular saws like in the movie Wild Wild West. Characters don't need to be adapted to the theme though. If your character is a medieval knight, no problemo.
3) Your character should be "special". I mean three-dimensional characters, people we can work with. Give him habits, styles, thoughts, a background, etc. This will add lots od fun and diversity to the fic. Here is the character list of The Endless Song. Use this as a beacon:
-Zinackst, natural telepath.
-Mortimer, escaped experimental subject, now a pro mercenary.
-BWS-1, katana-master android, and ex-assassin from a high-level organization (think Nikita's Section One)
-Severance 7, human-like android, also an ex-assassin.
-Lara, married and mother of two children.
-Shrike, biomech hybrid android, and an old friend of Zinackst.
4) The fic style is mostly serious. Funny moments are all right, as long as they don't get all the spotlight.
5) Choose first person or third person narration to your liking. I personally prefer first person, but this is your call, whichever you find best for yourself.
6) Post your own character's actions only. Please don't make other people's character speak or do things unless absolutely necessary (e.g.: You don't know where you are running and bump into someone; obviously you both fall over) You take care of doing something; the others will react.
7) Put any non-fic comments in bold. This will help differentiate between small talk and actual fic. What I usually do is put the comments before or after my part, and separate them from each other using a few dashes.
I think I covered it all up... Don't worry if it sounds rigid or tight; once you get the hang of roleplaying a fic, you'll see quite a lot can actually happen. And the cool thing in all this is that any person can come up with a piece of plot... Not a single one of us knows how everything will end up, because we make up the story as it goes along. The Endless Song started out as several people meeting each other and beginning to chat about why they are here... The whole thing ended up with a formidable urban fight against a psychic madman who wanted to open the gates of heaven and let himself in. Quite a story!
All right. My spiel's over! To any and all who join in, have fun! |

I am so up for this! *sniff* Serious RPing.. it brings back lovely memories. *ahem* I think for the purpose of bringing things together thematically, I'll create a human version of Cobalt for this RP.
Ridley "Cobalt" Katze. The embodiment of both primal fury and extreme calm. Previously a hired killer, he ran away from his past after the job went ran far into his life. Now a wanted man by two authorities, he offers his services as an underground bounty hunter of sorts, determined to escape from his previous life of ruthless death. Profficiant in semi-automatic weaponry*, and a form of hand-to-hand assault with metal claws.
*like the white-haired kid's gun from Wild Arms 3 |
