Title: A rp forum game Melt-tear
Post by: DreaDFanG on July 20, 2008, 04:48:52 am

This is my atempt at making a story base rp game...but I need some start characters.
==============
Character restrictions
---------------
List of Five
Mortal
Realistic
Inclusion of two creatures that would fit in a chain(bunny and wolf)can use same animals as other people but if fanciful give decription  (Animals arnt pets)
----------------------
For story useage
Male, Female, or does not apply
A number above 12 and below 84
A second number above 1 below 5
A third number above 1 below 100,000
A fourth number 1 or 2
A fifth number ending in five between 5 to 100
And three True or false
Also 20 "on and offs" (on=O off=I)

(picking the largest number doesnt mean good stats, and vise versa and are ALL separate from character traits)
--------------------------
"Suggested" format

Name
Nick name
Weight
Height
Age
Gender
Race
Occupation/class
Some story junk to use
Description
Skills of any sort
Some stuff that might be taken
Anything else you want to add
---
Required data
Animals
Hand "done" images can be here if you want that kind of aestethetic feel.

LIST OF FIVE

Human-like
Insect-like
Beast-like
Plant-like
Elemental
==============

The story

Yours and every persons character is in a orbital spaceport above Carthens VII, located in the known "Arm" of the Axon spiral galacy, that is populated by over 300 billion known intellegent beings. 
The spaceport roughly 150 sq miles of orbiting material supported by large anti-gravity engines that are powerfull enough to keep the sheer mass of it in orbit, and contains about a half million people in transit, mostly waiting for transport shuttles, and an odd thousand or so staff.
The story will progress from there...

well, it always helps to give a brief description of what the games about before you start. I've come up with a real simple mech game thats description is basically 2 short sentances but basically explains why the players are there and what their doing. It always helps put the game into the correct perspective.

I'm a little confused by the for story useage part. You are going to use those numbers and True/false as some part of a plot?
It might be better "RP" wise to then write something like; favourite number between x and x, amount of friends between x and x...
You get the drift.
I would also tone the max amount of creatures down to two, unless they are very small. If everyone is running around with two bunnies or wolfs, you are going to have one hell of a time writing.
And ofcourse, as Nilocy said, give it an intro. For example, rumours of strange things happening in x have lured adventurers from around the world to investigate. However, the local inhabitants are just as curious to find out what is happening in the x of x...
Who shall rise to the challenge?

First story part.

Red story line.
"Alert, red level threat detected!", a computer voice sounded in the security room.
'Red responding, send position', Red called out requesting for remote data.
Received data included a live video feed, identifacation of threat, and reccomended action.
Red began to run...

Fireman story line.
"That trip took nearly fifteen, and now your telling me I've been delayed because of..."
Kane re-checked the departure board, "Electrical malfuntion?".
"I'm sorry for the delay but flight 4:50 to Carthens VII surface has been poseponed indefinitly", the stuward said out almost remorcefully.
"Great, now I'm stuck here"...

So, am I supposed to say what I'm going to do now?

If so, I'll write a part in a spoiler. If not, just ignore it.

John sighed. It was hard to imagine that in an age where humanity could conquer space and had the most developed technology ever, postponed flights still existed.
He turned his back to the steward and started to walk around aimlessly, until he found a place where he could get something to drink away his boredness.
"Space Can" He couldn't keep himself from grinning. He remembered how one of his squad mates referred to their ship as "The Flying Can".
He entered, despite the ridiculous name. He was surprised to find the "Space Can" to be actually quite a nice place. Instead of dull, white, plastic furniture, he found himself in a 20th century pub. He could read, from a plaque hanging on the wall, that this place was built exactly after an English pub in Manchester, the Didsbury Inn.
He took a seat and browsed through the drink list. The list of drinks was filled with oddly named beverages, so he decided to pick a random one and hope for the best.

Fireman orders a Vol XIII Vodka on the rocks...

Vol XIII is under dwarven control, and is known for the galaxies best spirts.

Red hurry-ing past the "spacecan" notes some grafiti on a nearby wall, on his way to the 1040 in progress (Dwarf with Axe, going through customs)...
