Roleplaying Ideas

[fellskyhawk]

I realized today randomly while getting ready this morning that I forgot to include "species" to the info needed for a character.

So Tracyn is a human looking humanoid but we don't know what species as he wares his armor almost all the time.

Tanelia and her entire planet is human offshoot species that have orange colored skin, but are pretty much human in every other sense. Lateirians we will call them for now.

So the title I'm figuring to use is Star Wars: The Hidden Evil

[Solus Nau'ur]

All works for me. I'm going to try to come up with a character profile before I go away for the weekend on Friday, but I'll be back on Monday and ready to start!

[Solus Nau'ur]

Finally got my act together and came up with a character profile. Too much crazy personal stuff going on, so my apologies for yet another delay.


Name- Shan Cevela
Age- 25
Gender- Female
Armor- green beskar’gam with yellow high lights and plenty of battle damage. Often also wears a dark green tattered cloak
main ranged weapon if any- Verpine sniper rifle
other ranged weapon if any- dual SSK-7 heavy blaster pistol
main melee- small vibroblade tucked into her right boot
sub melee- none
Brief History- Shan grew up with the Mandalorian traditions and culture, but is always tight-lipped about her past even with friends and usually flatly refuses to talk about her past. Those that she does consider her close friends, though, are allowed to call her by her nickname of Cev, or in typical Mando’a, Cev’ika.

[fellskyhawk]

So her last name shortened is her nickname?

Cool character, can't wait to see her use that verpine, projectiles not as easy as disrupter based weapons, takes a true master to manage.


Well due to personal things on my front and to allow for others to join from the beginning we'll wait a week before starting.

Can't wait though.

Lets say February 1st I'll post the start of it. Then have a week to discuss and post individual parts of everyone else and then I'll post some sort of plot continuance or twist. We'll have an "Episode" every month that will be like a tv show.

IE- Lets say the start is the team finds out about a plot to take out the princess on xyz day at the memorial of zyx in some amphitheater. Shan is told to patrol from a high point with her sniper rifle while Bob is to go with Ben (random making up names) and escort the princess while Jen and Tek patrol the hallways and my character, whatshisname, is in the security room with the security watching everything.

Everyone involved (right now just you solus) discuss and write their parts. We all decide together we want the main bad guys to come from entrance B but some other guy with a weapon comes from another place who is unaffiliated. Shan then writes her part. Ben and Bob discuss and decide what they will write together and how they want to write it, and Jen and Tek write their part their way. If my character is doing something other than being in a control area I'll write a part here. And everyone can write more then once if needed. Again, we will have to keep discussion going of where we are going with what.
Then I write a plot changer, like
As whatshisname watch the screens he noticed something strange, "Cevela(in mission he calls everyone by last name) check your 9o'clock, what do you see."
"Checking, oh... Four men in black wet-suits are rising out of the lake with heavy artiliry. You want me to take them out?"
"Just watch them, lets see whos side they are on. Now the sub bad guy is taken out, Bob, Ben, go help out Jen and Tek. And be prepared, these black wet-suited men may be trouble. Cevela, if they make one wrong move..."
"Understood."

and then it continues till the end.



In the discussion if someone sees someone else having their character say something and its not exactly how their character would say it, speak up, have it edited.

And if your doing more then just having another character give a report of some sort, discuss it with the player.

[Solus Nau'ur]

Yes, my character is a little backwards since she usually mostly goes by her first name. Thought I'd switch things up.

I just have one question/comment. Do we really want to allow anyone other than the person in charge of their character post even small comments for other people's characters? I know it might seem as if it'll slow things down by making other players wait for a response from another character, but if/when we get more players it actually helps keep things from going too fast for those who are really busy and can only make it online a few times. Also, it keeps other players from getting too carried away with using other people's characters and that's usually one of the most common problems I've had in the past with people who get too enthusiastic about using another player's character to say exactly what they want. Plus, it's more fun to see how the other person responds to something.

But I'm open to changing that up if necessary.

[fellskyhawk]

Well then we may wish to make this a month thing to write one part not a week thing.

The person can ask here something like, "Hey Solus, here's what I got so far, (input written thingy) and I need your character to report how the xyz enemy is coming around the corner on the xyz side.

[Solus Nau'ur]

Yep, all sounds good to me! Looking forward to getting this started. I'll send out another mass email later to remind people and let them know we're starting soon.

[Solus Nau'ur]

I thought I'd change up the colors of the beskar'gam I mentioned for my character, but to keep confusion low I'm supplying a picture!


If anyone wants to design armor for their character then check out the link that I used here: zammap.deviantart.com/art/Mando-Maker-3-103333151

I must admit, it's a lot of fun!

[fellskyhawk]

btw- I'm waiting for at least one more person before starting, cause otherwise it wont make sense if my character calls for a small team and only one or two come around. One more person means theres possibility of 4 characters which is a small team.

[Solus Nau'ur]

We can keep waiting if you want though it seems hard to get members to stick around here. Or I can come up with a second character.

[fellskyhawk]

Ya, why don't you do that. And I'll make another character as well. Then we might as well start.

[Solus Nau'ur]

Ok, I'll come up with something hopefully by tomorrow night. But I'll also try sending another mass email to get people to show up. Oya!

[Solus Nau'ur]

Name- Deryn
Age- 17
Gender- female
Armor- red and black
Main ranged weapon-
Other ranged weapon-
Main melee-
Sub melee-
Brief History- Deryn was raised by her father until a year ago when he was killed. Since then she has been taking whatever jobs she can to keep herself going and prove herself to those around her.

Best I could come up with at 7am before I get really busy. I'm all set!

[fellskyhawk]

wow, better set than me... I like the history, short brief to the point and yet lot of depth.

Your guy have any weapons? At least fists or gauntlet knife?

[Solus Nau'ur]

Shan had some more detailed weapons, I just didn't feel like coming up with anything for Deryn at 7am. I'll update it at some point with at least some basics.
