Sweet, good to have you! Will need to format your post with our formatting (style guide is on the first page with the rules). We're easy, just treat ** as your "security camera footage" where you can record the 5 senses of characters, then everything else is dialogue.

Getting there, but think of our style as a first-person movie script.

*Enters the busy saloon, buzzing with frantic patrons, and draws my gun with a clear look of frustration*
Hey there partner! Who said you could leave this town!?
*Walks over to the counter and slams my fist on its surface*

Anything in *action symbols* is considered free information for anyone at the right vantage point. e.g. Nobody can hear the thoughts of characters but they can derive information from their tone, expression, etc. You might have something in action symbols that characters aren't present for, e.g. *Vanishes into my pocket dimension and begins crafting a spell*, but the point is that everything stated is technically observable to anyone who might be present. Actions and dialogue are the two forms of interaction in MR, so no author commentary, asides, bonus info, etc.

@darkred

Here's what it would look like in our style:

*Falls through a portal only to find himself not in Rome, not the good one or even the corrupted one, but instead lands on a strange planet, lost in time*
Ubi sum?
*Carries a gladius, shield and an out-of-place gun*

Notice on this one it makes the actions direct and first-person, and removes the author's commentary? That's the direction we go.

How is this for my char?
Ollie Peirce




Ollie Peirce can control, manipulate, and create shadows. He can create and control up to 5 different constructs simultaneously, without a reduction in reaction speed and such. He can also create spikes and other simple things, in addition to the constructs without reducing his abilities. He can enter and travel between shadows. He is faster and stringer than a base human, he can also enhance his abilities with shadows. He can climb sheer walls, and ceilings. He has really acute hearing and very fast reaction speed

No worries. @Tank o The Lake did you want to rope darkred into the current events or do you want me to take their char in a different direction?

I was thinking they'd meet Hal. Given that Hal (and the Varroi under his command) have a vested interest in denying the data to Lucy, then I could see them bringing Marius to Cooperative Earth to assault the blacksite themselves and destroy the data.

That's cool. I happen to also have an OC with the exact same name.

It is worth noting that Varroi worship Aven, who they teach is Lucy's son who overthrew the tyrannical god that was his father to become a benevolent god himself, combining the virtues of man and divine in perfect synthesis. Lucy is basically their version of the Devil, so they very much want to throw a wrench in his plans.

I'm very fine with this. Darkred's latest post is roleplayerguild.com/posts/5652062 if you want to kick off.

Oliver Pierce. A mechanist and general adventurer with a sort of sci-fi pulp hero aesthetic.
