Below are my issues with a common trend of the guild and the reason I'm making this RP. Please read or ignore by your digression, it's just my two cents and I'm afraid it goes on a little tangent. [hider=My issues with RP] You know what I hate the most about roleplayerguild? You find a project you love, you but your heart and soul into making a character, everyone else makes a character you imagine how your character will interact with theirs and you get your hopes up. Everyone makes small talk and the game begins and everything is perfect. For about a week. It starts just as beautiful as you imagined. Everyone posts daily, exposition is underway and like one or two character's meet and roleplay the start of a beautiful friendship or romance. The conversation is well made and lengthy and the GM guides us to the first plot point. Then it all goes to shit. Its clearly someone's turn to post. But they don't. A day passes without a IC. Their account says their online but their not posting. GM gives a gentle reminder to post and the player gives the usual apology, something like work is hectic, or some crazy hard week at school or visiting a relative the normal case of life getting in the way. The player promises they'll meet a deadline and they do. This time. The post is made, but it's not quite up to the writers usual standard. The dedicated players respond and the plot moves forwards for a day. Than it gets to someone else and... silence. In the time waiting for the first guy this second guy got bored and stopped using RP guild altogether, typicly these people only made one IC and it was an awkward attempt to engage in conversation with another character who was either already in conversation or was given so little to work with that they just sort of awkwardly walk off. Anyways we will never see this character again and the GM tells us to just pretend they were never there. We awkwardly bumble through our damaged plot for a week by shit posting and waiting on people who can't seem to get their creative juices flowing again. Then the first person to slow the train says their earlier delay has intensified and with a heavy heart that have to drop the RP. Everyone says their goodbyes and we try to figure out how to proceed. Most people follow suit and say they can't do this right now and soon it's two dedicated players and the GM. The GM gets discouraged, and unsubscribes from his own post and let's it die. Two months later the guy who disappeared at the start comes back and tries to reboot it and he only gets like one response and the two promptly pretend no one said anything and thus the project dies. Be honest. We've all been each of these characters at least once. [/hider] Now on to business! How this will work is I'll make a character and enough of the world and exposition to get us started. Then once exposition is out of the way I turn the story over to you giving you free GM range over what NPC's, enemies, misfortune and bounty my character will encounter. I, as the main character, will deal with the lot given to me how I see fit and you as the current GM will tell me how what I attempted plays out. And the best part you ask? Whenever you get bored of me, you can dump me at the feet of any GM who has time for me then he directs the story! It's all the fun of RP without a permanent commitment! If I get tired you ask? Then I inform people I'm taking a break, close up shop, and reopen when we're all good and ready! Sound like fun? [hider=If your still interested] The setting will be high fantasy, with dragons, orcs, magic, your standard DnD fair, and whatever you people can dream up at the time of play. I'll just give out the frame work of my character for today, at least until I see if anyone wants to do this. My character is the son of the world's most legendary and Nobel hero who is cast in a do no wrong Prince charming type light. However my character is a lazy selfish serving good for nothing that is content to live out his days on his father's quest money. However his father one day sets out on a quest and never returns leaving him to crew up alone in his fathers country mansion until he spends All of his father's wealth. Now he is forced a world of danger and use what little skills his father tried to teach him so that he can pay the rent and return to his life of ease. Oh yeah, and maybe find dad. You know if it comes up. I love playing as weasely ill prepared characters because they have so much more room to grow versus the typical white knight of virtue, or the angst filled Mary sue edgelords. Problem is these type of characters don't do well in groups. But I think this type of personality works perfect with the play style in mind. [/hider] That should do for now. I really look forward to trying this out with you guys. Any questions? Don't hesitate to ask.
