Is there any possibility you'd be willing to facilitate a player playing as a member of the faculty? Nothing perverse, before people get that impression. I can send you a rough idea of my character if you're not sure.

I'm 50:50 with it since I originally designed this as a small group explore-and-survive romp, but I did put micro-sandbox in the writeup. The potential is obviously there given the students might plan to find a teacher as one of the objectives to help them get out of the school and survive. Just gotta let me know what you're thinking regardless.

And of course I have to decide how complicated this will make storytelling and if it's worth a try.

Personally, I'm iffy about the inclusion of teachers into the group. Kind of think it should be a thing that is limited to GMs. But if @TGM says they'll allow it, I think it might be best to limit the group to one teacher, given that the RP is supposed to be centered around students escaping a zombie-infested school.

Well, since we've got a few character sheets in, does anyone want to work on any character interactions/relationships? I know none of them accepted yet, but just in case anyone wants to workshop something ahead of time.

Well, I don't think Aaron would know or remember Jess in any way, so I don't know if our characters would have any history or prior connections/interactions. Don't imagine Jess would like Aaron very much. I think the same goes with Hera, though I imagine both would probably know the name.

@Tackytaff: I feel like Aaron and Ethan would have to know each other pretty well, especially if they're on the same teams. Ethan seems to have less of an ego issue, so might be one of the few people Aaron could get along with well.

@PatientBean: Seems like Quinn and Aaron would probably know each other. There is room for Aaron to have been the person Quinn dated her sophomore year, as Aaron probably would have made the varsity team that year (though Ethan is also a pretty solid, perhaps more socially advantageous choice). Otherwise, they'd probably run in somewhat similar circles, but might not be close since Aaron isn't particularly popular.

Yeah, it's kind of what I mentioned to Gowi. Every other character seems to be from the popular/cool/important school cliques (jocks, head cheerleader, class valedictorian, etc.), and then there's just Jess--pretty much a literal nobody. Personally, I don't really expect her to have any strong history with much of the group, but I figured to pose the question just to get it out there. Her connections are probably like, "rode the bus with so-and-so", had biology with this person", etc.

For sure should do something there. Ethan would certainly try to befriend him, as much as he would any other team-mate. It really comes down to how well you think Aaron would reciprocate to someone like him; annoyingly optimistic, not too bright, and eager to follow the crowd. The idea of a one-sided thing where Ethan obliviously thinks they're buddies, but Aaron barely tolerates him, is funny to me too.

On Ethan's side, he'd likely look up to Aaron to a certain degree, respecting how much he's accomplished on his own without always needing to rely on others. He'd make an effort to include Aaron in other group/team meet-ups outside of school, even if he usually blows them off.

@webboysurf I sort of had it in mind that it was some guy that turned out to be "not so good" but I am willing to suspend that if you want them to have that dynamic.

Honestly, love the idea/dynamic that Ethan thinks Aaron is his friend and Aaron just sees Ethan as this guy he just can't get away from. Though I think Aaron likes Ethan more than he's willing to admit to himself. To an extent, Ethan is what Aaron could be if he wasn't so caught up in his own crap and ego. They're foils in an interesting way that could play nicely.

Was just tossing it out as an option, don't want to mess with whatever you have planned.

Guess it all depends on if I keep Cheerleading as one of Hera's activities because that makes her sports adjacent to know at least three people.

So, since we're going with the classroom route rather than the characters be stuck in the teacher's lounge like prior renditions, which classroom would you say they'd be stuck in? Just so it's established prior to the RP start.

I'm gonna decide that when I write the opener, I think.

Right now, I have to think of plans given the size of the cast. Originally I only anticipated maybe 4 or 5 people to keep things tight, but I've liked everything I've received in the OOC so far. So it might end up being two different groups on opposite sides of the school and I'd have to work out the logistics there. A lot of it is logistics and what I can handle right now. Unlike in the first Shelter, I didn't want to just do the same dog-and-pony show.

Click the raw button in the top right of the post box. Copy it to a google doc, PM, etc. and edit in your character's stuff.
