[/div][div class=info]Roleplay of the Month
@fei[/div][/div]
Give everyone a quick summary about your roleplay.
The central focus of ćÅā®āā“ ā³ā± ā± Åā¦ ÉĆÉā±¤ ā±§Éā³Ä is about how the government is trying to kill these people with superpowers through a simulation. Pre-RP, there were people claiming to have seen people with supernatural powers so the government decided to investigate through a ācensusā and they discovered that there were indeed people with superpowers. They decided that these people were a threat and decided to kill them through a medical trial simulation that they are telling participants will cure them of their āodditiesā. (It is really intended to kill them though.) The participants go through worlds and in order to survive, they need to beat each world with their superpowers. If they die in the simulation, they die in real life too. The goal is to thwart the governments plan to kill them by beating the simulation.
What inspired you to create this roleplay?
This was originally a plot for a story I wanted to write myself but I didnāt think I would every get to writing it so I just turned it into an RP. I combined an old idea for a government experimenting RP and a bit of a Webtoon called "Room of Swords" and it turned into this.
What do you enjoy most about GMing?
Being able to decided everything.
What attracts you to futuristic roleplays?
How flexible they are, historical or realistic RPās are limited by what existed or exists but you can invent anything in futuristic roleplays.
How did you come about roleplaying?
I honestly don't remember. I think I discovered it while I was looking through the forums of Flight Rising or Chicken Smoothie.
How did you discover RpNation?
I used to roleplay on Chicken Smoothie, Flight Rising, and Egg Cave. After a while, I grew out of the pet collecting type of websites and I was mainly just interested in roleplaying so I googled around websites and stumbled upon this one.
How long have you been roleplaying?
I think about 4-5 years.
Coffee or tea?
I can't choose, I love both so much!
What is a type of character you love to hate?
The one that is super good looking, very nice, has good grades, etc. I find "perfect" characters super annoying because they've got "everything" figured out and that also kind of makes them boring.
Would you rather give up social media or give up roleplaying?
Social media, your interactions are limited to how many followers you have. If you don't have many followers, people won't see/hear what you have to say but with roleplaying, you don't need to have lots of followers in order to be seen, you just have to have good ideas.
Do you have any other projects in the works that you would like to share?
Nope[/div]

Rule Game is based on a game from a different forum. Players each post a rule adding a new restriction which must be adhered to. It's a fun little game that challenges players to stick to the rules to keep the game going and prevent it from resetting.

@just_patches[/div]
Summer is a strange faceless girl. Or rather, her face is 90% mouth. Despite her appearance being a horror movie material, she doesn't like horror very much and is a fan of mystery movies more than anything. But don't even try to take a photo of her, it will always appear blurry! If she got famous, she would be able to evade unwanted attention but seems like photo modeling career path is completely closed off!
