I am here, and I will be making a CS.

Damn Beo, always getting me into these interesting RP's.

[SirBeowulf]

BE AMAZED AT MY MAGICAL POWERS OF... getting people to join rps. I'M THE GREATEST.

[The Red Zephyr]

Wow Bewulf, you brought a whole bucket of chum!

[TheMadAsshatter]

Doood... This looks fuckin' cool. Hellz yeah I'm joining up! I'll have a character sheet ready soon.

Also, wassup Beo!

In making my map, I realized that I lied Beowulf when answering his first question: The RP begins on Ortus, the eastern-most continent, and not Occas, the western-most one. That being said, I also stated in my pre-revision Obit summary that the SIP were near Occas, but they are indeed Ortusan islands. The issue came from my naming: Ortus and Occas are modified forms of the Latin words for "rise" and "set" (the sun rises in the East and sets in the West). I mixed them up because I had initially listed the continents from left-to-right as "Ortus, Meda, Occas" and imagined them in that order on a map. So, that's fixed on my map.

Speaking of the map, I will have 2: One for the Pre-Hail world and another for a map of our area in the RP.

[The Red Zephyr]

My world map is done and up. No bad for MS Paint and a trackpad.

CS thread will be up in a few minutes and then I will do some SIP and tech descriptions. Probably wont get much done tonight though. Tomorrow evening imma get shit done for reelz, including finishing lore-related stuff and our local map. I decided on the location being in the general area of UNO's old capital, Legas, because plot.

Speaking of plot, we need some bitches up in here.

CS Thread

[SirBeowulf]

Hey, Mad! Long time no see! Sorry for how STALKER went down. I had lots of fun with that, but during that time my computer was just shitting all over the place and I really couldn't help it. I'm hoping for this one to go well, though! Also, hot damn. The map doesn't look half bad!

[TheMadAsshatter]

Meh, the STALKER thing was mostly my fault. I have a really shitty habit of letting my own RPs die due to either boredom, complacency, or lack of creative inspiration.

Either way, as long as this one picks up momentum, I'll be sure to stick with it.

[The Red Zephyr]

I've had two new CSs submitted, and I will likely accept both of them. So far, here are the character roles:

The Caravaner.

The Detective.

The Stray Child.

The Ruthless Assassin.

If I've approved your CS, you can post it in the CS thread.

God does not want me to have real days off, so today was busy as well. I'm a lot less tired than on Tuesday so SIP background and a local map will be coming "soonish" as always.

[Fat Boy Kyle]

I know you're probably waiting on more people to join, but did you have a rough idea in mind in regards to when you would like to start the RP? As I mentioned in Sanctuary, I've not got an awful lot of spare time atm; therefore I'm not in a rush personally.

P.s. Nice map :D

P.s.s I tried (and failed) to out-do your Sanctuary map because I'm a douche-bag :P

[The Red Zephyr]

This might seem like a cop-out answer, but I'll start the IC when it feels appropriate to do so. I haven't even made my own character(s) and still need to add a few things to my OOC OP. I've only had four CSs submitted and they are in no way a "full cast".

BTW any accepted CSs should be posted in the OOC so others can see them when they join, use them for comparison, and give their own input.

[Fat Boy Kyle]

Nah, it's the answer I kinda expected but I thought I'd just ask. I think it's better to take your time with the planning and everything before jumping in otherwise you can end up doing what I've done in the past and simply drive the RP straight into a ditch.

I'll put my CS up later, I just want to flesh a couple of bits out (there won't be any significant changes though).

[SirBeowulf]

I'm liking the titles of the characters. (By the way, its Caravaneer.)

You can take your time, like Kyle said. I don't really mind waiting in the slightest. The more we wait the higher quality stuff you'll be able to put out for us.

[Xenonia]

Hi, I'm Xenonia, I'll be playing the "Stray Child". Also, maybe change the "How to not be a dick" title to "Rules". It's a bit confusing...

[SirBeowulf]

I don't know about you, but not being a dick makes a whole lot of sense to me. Generally Not-Dicks follow the rules that people should know by now.

It's true that I'm probably unclear with the importance of opening that hider. I'll look into it after work (and finish my shit hopefully).

Caravanner. We are both right, but my spelling was incorrect.

Since I'm taking forever with SIP, I'll give a quick description for any who might want to have an origin there: The Islands were originally 3 separate island nations that lead the fishing industry. From the get-go they were pretty anti-war and would only participate in the sake of defending themselves. Because of their smaller populations, only one representative attended the Last Meeting for the creation of UNO. By the end of the meeting, the rep was the only one to reject a universal alliance. Because of her steadfastness, a clause had to be written into the UNO inception documents that the islands would be exempt from the conditions stated as long as no violent action arose between them and the UNO. In such a case, UNO would be forced to annex the islands with force if need-be.

The representative returned to the islands horrified by the way the world's leaders cowered like sheep to Morane and their threat of "The End of the World". After telling her tale to the leaders of the islands, they all agreed to form a universal pact, similar to UNO but in direct opposition to their ideals. A chief was elected on each island, and all matters were decided by vote in an Island Council. The council made it's goal to withhold citizen freedom, and encourage personal protection and responsibility. There was no private military, only a self-trained civilian militia, and nearly everyone carried a firearm. This goal of freedom, extended to markets as well, attracting dozens of large tech developers who wanted to escape UNO regulation. After a while SIP became known as a technological haven for those who didn't believe the rumors of barbarianism.

...That took like ten minutes. I am a bad procrastinator.

[SirBeowulf]

Caravan-nerrr sounds worse than Caravan-neer.

FILTHY BARBARIANS.

Also, liking the characters, you guys. The names definitely suit them.
