Futuristic OOC: When Night Falls [Space/Sci-fi]

[Ayama]

I feel like we need a Leader character for the sake of cohesion and direction for the group. I also really want there to be a Rookie, 'cause they're fun as hell (both to play and to interact with/have), and I feel like there's something missing in these kind of group RPs when we don't have one (plus I need someone for Mika to be 'disdainful of but secretly worried about' ;P ) With the Colonel/ex-Alliance and the Mercenary, the Veteran might be less relevant, but I'm sure there's a way to creatively fit one in ^^

​

 

[Ayama]

Oh and I'd like information such as what would be a recommended age limit, for this Roleplay in particular and what planets are there about.

Now I'm going to cry cos it took me 22 minutes to answer any of this.

oh dear god the lag

Erm, so the leader. Does it have an actual rank among all of this?

And I do wonder, veteran from a war or just an experienced older person.

Rookie it's self explanatory lol

All the info on the habitable planets is in the first post of the character thread ^^ For ages, I'm assuming 20 to 50 in range? :/
That lag sounds soul-crushing, I'm sorry x.x
Considering the nature of the RP, and the fact that we already have a Captain and a retired Colonel, I'd say there's no real rank requirement for the Leader, ye?
For the Veteran, personally I'd say it can be either, or both :3

I had planned to make an adult English Character, the sort of elegant one that speaks softly and calmly, and rarely rises his voice.

The sort of one that either is solving the murder or was the one did it and you can never tell which.

Thus I'm between Leader and Veteran, and I see you are most experienced, probably more experienced than I.

So, if I may, can I ask you which one would benefit this RP as a whole if I were to fill either of these positions?

 

[Rassforth]

Oh dangit I'm using mobile lol

Tbh, the character you just described to me sounds like a Scout/Tracker type, if that seems up your alley? :3 And I dunno about the experience thing- I'm definitely enthusiastic though! ;P

Oh, does that mean you can't see the character skeleton or the lore? ^^"

​

 

[Rassforth]

Ah yes

The Why Boner

This information has gotten me hyped.

Sadly so.


I also found a good character last night that is closest to what I had in mind.

In particular the voice, more than how he looks although I do like his Victorian-esque elegance.

The Curator

The Curator is a supporting character appearing in each installment of The Dark Pictures Anthology. He is an omniscient and mysterious voyeur of the player's stories, recording them in a strange place, which he calls his repository. The Curator is voiced and motion captured by Pip Torrens. His...

Aaah, that's unfortunate ^^" I believe Loralyda will be PMing you character sheet info, so maybe ask for some lore as well? Based on your character concept, I'd say Aeris is the home planet to go with ~
Ooooh neat! So perhaps, kind of a modern-day version of the 'Bard' of the party? There to record the events as they unfold?

Oh not to worry! I already turned on the desktop version on my phone. Good useful tool nowadays.


Aeris you say? Well that Will be my primary choice then, your help is most welcome!

And quite so, with a feeling of impending doom following us and that constant smell of tea and biscuits lol.

[Loralyda]

Can't remember who I was searching these for but they are up for grabs.... gaaah this stuff keeps getting me distracted!
The first one does give me a bit of a John Haverson feel, even if he looks more scruffy Shannon Trevor

Rassforth Ayama

[Krowe]

Hope my characters get accepted, 'cause I spent all night on those profiles! xD Also I believe the GM's preference (stated in the rules) is for drawn FCs over realistic ones ._.



My understanding of the roster we have going so far (barring the GM refusing any of the characters, of course) is as follows:
-The Mercenary '??' [ played by Loralyda ]
-Ex-Alliance 'Colonel' [ played by Shannon Trevor ]
-The Medic 'Cross' [ played by Hell0NHighWater ]
-The Native '??' [ played by Krowe ]
-The Weapons Specialist 'Gat' [ played by Ayama ]
-The Demolitions Expert 'Blitz' [ played by Ayama ]

@Blemmigan Said they wanted The Researcher
Rassforth and Krowe both have placeholder posts up in the CS (so I'm assuming Krowe is planning to submit a second character)

I believe all the suggested roles have already been reserved or claimed so far, though I had some additional suggestions, such as:
-The Leader
-The Veteran
-The Rookie
-The Sniper

Hope that helps, especially since there was also interest from @FabulousTrash @Dmitri Tolenka @komorebi and @Abendrot

Kind of wondering if there will be enough roles to go around, for so many interested players xD Guess we shall see~!

​

Oops, sorry about that! I'm only making one character, I just forgot to delete my first reply.

Looks awesome! Dunno what you think Shannon Trevor but I'm totally vibing with that second one for John~

Aaaaah gotcha- thanks for clarifying xD

​

 

[Krowe]

I dig the characters so far~ Also I like that, at this point, we have one from every planet (except Aeris). Way to coincidentally align, everyone! o/

Krowe Love Niall- I feel like he and Miki would get along real well~ Btw, what is/are his nickname(s)?

​

My god, Miki and Niall would SO get along.

And for Niall's nickname, I'm probably going with Gadget.

Haha, glad you agree~ :3

And interesting. I was thinking 'Nili' or 'Scout' ;P
(Miki might call him that regardless tbh xD )

I am super hyped though this looks like a great cast so far and I can't wait to see what kind of shenanigans we all get in to

Saaaaame- so excited! I'm kind of wondering if any of the characters might know each other from before the start of the mission. Waiting on the 4/5 missing ones though so that we get more than one character per planet ;P Like, The Researcher and The Curator might know each other from the same university for example~

@ Loralyda , this is a super interesting plot and its nice to see someone actually my age on this site. =)

Maybe if they're willing, lol.

And I'm 3/4 done with sheet!

I love the fact you lot are just RUUUUUNNNING off with all the information etc
I do encourage relationship-building amongst characters!!!! (friendly/romantic/enemies etc!)

Franklin
TRUEEEEE THAT!!!! I was starting to feel hella old around here, thanks for helping me balance out the average

Rassforth
*pulls out her pompoms and cheers you on*

 

[Rassforth]

Oh you're just a sweet treat.

Also I got sort of stucked at Occupation.

What would the Curator do...?

He's just a well spoken highly intelectual individual with great marksmanship.

Right?! It's just so nice to see someone in their thirties. Yesterday I saw someone as old as thirty five * le gasp*. This site has a pretty balance of people. Mostly younger though and if your an experienced role player some times the communication can be difficult. I find there is a bit of a barrier with young and old crowd. Although, you will find a balance.=)
