So. You were so amped about a new RP. But it died. Sad feels. Yet again.
How many posts did it get to before 'ye olde RP fizzled-out-enthusiasm-death-rot' killed it this time? 5? 10? Didn't even get the first post out and the sus GM and/or RPers abandoned it?! Really?! Some other reason altogether?! Wait. No. A whole shwack-load of RP-killing reasons this time?! Again?!
Hmph. I can say I'm not surprised. It happens. It always happens don't it? So here you are again with a freshly crafted OC ready to go and, yet again, they go nowhere. Muse lain to waste, RP is dead in the water after all that build up... so why the hell do we write extensive backstories again...?! Right. Well, fear not, friends!! For this is the pseudo-RP your literally-born-into-the-grave-charries have been seeking all their non-starter lives!! In this up and coming thread you will be able to post whatever it is you wanted to get offa your chest regarding your charrie!!
'Some Kinda' Sequiter.'
Hi!!
Welcome to Some Kinda' Sequiter!!
This RP is a free roam/solo post idea whereby you have the opportunity to roleplay an old charrie of yours that you never got a chance to play out due to RP death or just cuz reasons! The point of this thread will be for each poster to RP out something their charrie would have done in the world/setting of the RP for which they were made. Note that a big focus will be payed to their background or motivation when posting.
K so you know how it goes: follow RPN rules, keep the posts sexy-tme free, content between PG and rated R, respect each other, have fun and all that. Oh! Now the other thing about posting IC'ly; Please just drop in the OOC afterwards and let everyone know that you posted to be friendly. I'll drop a heart on your post to let you know that I read it k. Actually let's get everyone to drop some cookie-love on all IC'ly posts lol
Oh and don't worry about what we used to call 'Ninja-ing' like when two people happen to post as the exact same time. All goods k? The next person will have TWO posts to be inspired by! lol Lucky lucky! Oh and as of now there is no 'post cool-down' since its just started but of course, no double-posting... buuuuut then again, that may change depending on how many RPers are actively posting.
Oh! And: Yes, we always OPEN!!

The Catches/Rules.
-
Here are some catches/rules to keep us grounded:
○ | First catch is that your charrie has to be an Original Charrie. No matter the genre or even if they come from a canon world, they must be of your own making and designs.
○ | Second catch is that this is an ADV/LIT RP. K so like there is a word count requirement. 300 Min. to 700 Max. not including the Synopsis. (Around 3 Paragraphs - 7 Paragraphs.) This is a challenge to keep things meaty enough but concise enough for others to take ideas from. This is a hardline; I'm not accepting any less or any more per post. More on that later. And my gosh, no OOC chat in the IC. Oh and there actually is a Word Counter in the IC cuz I'm like that.
○ | Third catch is that you will NOT be interacting with other RPers charries. This is more of a free roam than plotted writing. No real sequence, just go with it.
○ | Fourth catch is that you do not have to post your charrie sheet. Just link it. Or don't. It don't matter cuz your charrie never saw the proper light of day anyways.
○ | Fifth catch is that you may use as many charries as you like BUT you may only use one charrie per post. And please don't take something you already wrote for your charrie in the old RP and repost it here. So sussss...
○ | Sixth is no Discord cuz this is not that kind of RP and it's meant to cater to drop-in/drop-out postings. But you better not just rando post IC'ly. Come say Hi!! to Buggaboo in OOC first!!
○ | Seventh is oh, and if you use Fancy-ass Coding for your posts, you MUST also provide a non-Coding version for my phone cuz it hates your coding. Yeah, yeah it does lol
-
Basic Sequence.
-
So the basic sequence is:
○ | Read the post before yours.
○ | Find a sentence and quote it.
○ | Fill in the questionaire part in the Synopsis of your post.
○ | Write a Post about something your charrie would be doing something they would have done revealing a background tidbit about them.
○ | The next person will then post about their charrie BUT!! they will see something they want to use from your post (an idea or a passage) and twist it to use it in their post.
○ | The next person after that will see something they like or want to use in the person above them's post and use it in their post.
○ | Continue, Rinse, Repeat, Ta-dah!! Example shown in spoiler below.
Now the reason I say MIN 300 Words is that this is good for those who want to stretch their writing prowess a bit more. Also within 300 words the next person should find something of interest in your post to base their post on. Basically a 3 paragraph format of about 300 words was what I was taught to properly RP with a partner when I first started out RPing and its served me well.
○ | Para 1 = React to prior post
○ | Para 2 = Respond with charrie actions/convo
○ | Para 3 = Release more info to build on
And the reason I cap it at MAX 700 Words is for those of us who get all Rosey-Prosey and just vomit up too many uneccessary words. It's a good exercise to keep posts manageable but meaty for others to take in and not feel overrun. (Cuz yeah... guilty.)
So for those who visualize post size by paragraph size; I'd say a good n' meaty paragraph is about 80-100 words. Min size post 300 words. A good n' meaty post size is about 400-500 words. Hard capped at 700 words. Yes, this does include convo too!! There is even a link to an Easy Word Counter in the OP of the IC too lol.
And yes, sorry, not sorry but posting size is a hardline.
-
Example Sequence.
-
So here is a sample of how to fill in the questionaire when posting IC'ly:
Synopsis
Character: Pretty straight forward. I like to add a bit to show off their role
World and Plot: Just a sentence each here to describe the world and the overall plot of the RP
Context: Just a sentence to say just what's going on.
BG Motivation: Remember that giant backstory you wrote? Yeah well just a sentence to say why they doing what they doing in the post related to backstory.
Post Inspiration: Quote the sentence/snippet of the post before yours that sparked the idea for your post.
K!! Right so this post for LiLi is about 500 words to get an idea of post size. Again, I ask for at least 300 Words or around 3-4 paragraphs. A really good size is more than half the size of the post for LiLI.
Synopsis
Character: "LiLI" Mariposa Milinda Del Rios | Latina gang member with potential for magic use.
World and Plot: Not-Earth. Another Isekai but this time a group of childhood friends get transported to a purple-skied, tall grassed world as soon as their long lost friend shows up after years of being a missing person.
Context: LiLi goes off to find water but starts to miss home/earth.
BG Motivation: LiLi's big sis KiKi as a huge driving force.
Even her reflection looked off.
LiLi had held her breath as she inspected the features of her own face reflecting right back at her in that serene pool. Same brown face under black bandanna and cap. Same tattoo of her family proudly emblazoned on her cheek. Big hoop earrings glinting away. Strong nose, full pouty lips but those eyes... who the hell did those eyes belong to?
Yes, they were still dark and alluring but the look in them...? It would be a lie if she did not admit she liked the look and lustre of those eyes. If only they were not supposed to be a reflection of her own being; Mama said that the eyes were the open window to the soul after all. And what did those eyes say about her now? Oh, LiLi was sure her friends would be ecstatic (and yeah, they seemed to act like they knew) that she was coming around and returning to the girl they once knew in highschool. Yes, that girl was slowly starting to shine through; the smiley, laughing one who always had something to say or interject. Whether a barb to knock you down a peg or a joke to make you laugh, it was always entertaining.
So really what was wrong with that then? Was it not a good thing that LiLi was dropping the tough, badass girl front and becoming that sweet thing they all knew and remembered? For her friends and for things to come in this weird, purple-skied, tall grassed world, then yes, of course it was. After getting drugged up by the prevailing winds and nearly going comatose, the closer the friend group became the greater the chances they would survive here. In fact, prior to magically arriving in this world, they all seemed to be drifting apart. So what was the problem then?
The girl in the pool stared levelly at the girl staring right back at her. "Listen, you are starting to forget who made you and how you were made..."
Suddenly a flash of pain. A glimpse of a fading memory: flashing lights, wailing sirens, voices over walkies blaring away, people rushing, shoving, yelling. A stab of buried emotion: fear for her sister, anger at the emergency people, rage at those who hurt her sister, heart-break while her brothers held her. An answer by the loud report and smoking muzzle of a gun.
"...who is this world for...? Say it. This world... This. World. Is--"
LiLi screeched and struck the girl with the strange eyes in the water. The splash shattered the reflection into a thousand and one shards made from the sharp edges of the broken hearts of a broken family and pieces of a broken life she could not help but remember that she had left behind. But in that moment she saw her own eyes, the ones she brought with her from her own earth, and in them she saw the reason she swore she would never forget that world.
Her sister was dying. KiKi was dying and did not have long to live. LiLi swore that she would be there right till the end for the greatest inspiration she had ever known.
My gosh, she just had to make it back home.
K so again that^ was just over 500 words in that post. Right. So for the next post, in response to the LiLi post, this RPer (lol me) is going to post about their charrie with a focus on their background story. It just so happens that they are from a space-faring sci-fi RP. But regardless of genre or context, the Post Inspiration is the most important thing. So if you'll note, the next RPer Quoted the section of the post before theirs to show the basis of inspiration for their post. So when posting for Daisie, her BG Motivation will be the general expression of the post, but the Post Inspiration from the previous post will be incorporated in some way.
Synopsis
Character: "Daisie" - DA1-513-07 | Cyborg Symbiote - Ship Security/Black-Ops.
World and Plot: Aboard the Siren, Intergalactic Spaceship. Ragtag mercenaries of all different walks of life reconvene after 'shore-leave' and are headed to meet a new employer.
Context: Daisie Noticing a new stowaway.
BG Motivation: The Cyborg reasses her old "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" philosophy
Post Inspiration:
The smell of the machine oil, metal, and musty sweat. That familiar sound of a breathless exhale. The familiar glint off of each alloyed plate of her tail flashing in succession. Finally, the cyborg symbiote slid out from her recharge pod.
Both legs swung out in unison, away from the form-fitted cushion, gun-metal hued knees pressed neatly together. One of those legs was worth more than at least 2 crew members' share of their last haul. But truly, it was one of those legs that had given the Siren's crew even the slightest hope of landing such a prize. The black tinted visor that covered up her entire 'face' reflected the diagnostics listing out on the screen across from her pod as she leaned forward. And it was here where she paused ever so slightly.
Another reflection, obviously not her own, she caught in the lower corner of the diagnostics screen. A pair of large, dark eyes, shining and quivering peered out from the shadow just underneath her pod.
The familiar sound of an alloy-plated tail whipping out, wicked and razor sharp intent unleashing from its tip...
...and on, and on until a good 300 word min. is reached. Cuz like right now that^ above part for Daisie is about 160 words only; so double that amount and it will be a good sized post. But I'mma stop there cuz I'd like to point out now what's been touched upon in the post so far:
Synopsis
Character: You can see that so far yes, she is a cyborg and the tail is quite dangerous thus she is Security/Black-Ops
World and Plot: So far, the world and plot part is inferred; like for example she's a cyborg coming out of a pod so that sounds futuristic and later on in the post I'd make it clear she's on a space ship and mention more about the new mission.
Context: Bang. Right there under the pod.
BG Motivation: Not mentioned yet, but you should be able to see where the post is going with the whole "No good deed goes unpunished" philosophy in her re-programming.
Post Inspiration: So yeah, defo hit on the eyes aspect of the person above's previous post.
Now imo, so far there are a couple things that stand out, of which I may choose one, to inspire my next post for a charrie:
1) The first passage with the whole touching the senses. Like I could pick one or use the whole thing really...
2) the violence about to be commited by her tail but in my next post, maybe I'mma swap out the tail for another deadly weapon...
Hopefully this all makes sense. If not please don't hesitate to ask all your questions k?!
Right so I'm pretty friendly and open-minded but please if you think that you will post something that will trigger someone, go ahead and put a WARNING on the top of your post beforehand. And TBH I'm going with the callous idea that anyone who joins/reads any of the IC'ly posts needs to already be prepped and know that bad things can be written and its all ficticious.
Any questions please do ask them in the open here, since I like a bit of transparency. And don't worry about feeling pressured to post, it's drop-in/drop-out, post when you can. Just bring some creativity and positive vibes with you k? And yes, you may post for charries that have not even been featured in a RP or post for charries that are currently in a RP. The RP is accessible to a easy-going posting frequency that does not require any formal response from a partner(s). So, yes go ahead and interact with some Random NPC in your post but please keep it relevant to your charrie BG. But if you are looking to have crucial interaction and relationship building this RP is not for you. This whole idea is about sharing creativity and muse upkeep lol
And there you have it.
