WELCOME



Well you made it here

Which means the button is working
I hate when things don't work
Well hate is a strong word
How about it upsets me?



This is the part where I try and explain myself and what I’m after

First off I am Rumi to those that don’t know me yet and this is another strange vision I’ve had which I call “Empty City” but then you already knew that.

It begins for each of us when we become a statistic, a missing person back on earth and suddenly find ourselves somewhere else; “In a City with no people”

An obvious thing is that none of us are older than 19 or younger than 16 (I don’t like little kids in my rp and don’t want old grizzled war vets with tons of combat skills) and there is a reason which might be obvious to all or something I can help you discover.

You came in with the clothes on your back and not much else

There aren’t more than 8 people ahead of you if you’re next in line and they have only a 9 day head start on understanding the place so you’re not lagging behind.

Femi’s group has discovered that the city is circular and maybe 16 kilometers across with the big blue disk you appeared on at its center. Beyond the City is a large flat plain that is populated by herds of Buffalo, Bear, Wolf, Antelope, and someone claims to have seen a pride of lions at a distance though they weren’t too sure.

Beyond the flat plain is a lush and green forest ...oh and the roads that radiate outside of the city head off in twelve directions.

This will have strange animal encounters that might prove fatal if you go outside the walls, maybe some strangers but who knows I might not do that...I mean I could just drop the wall and let the critters inside...who knows there might really be lions.

Now if I haven’t bored you already let me say thanks for sticking around

Now this RP takes place in a strange city which the players can and could live out their lives fat happy and anchored...maybe even making little fat ones to live on after you.
You could after you get ready for it go exploring where the Roads go but I think a Big question you might want to know the answer to is; ”Why the sun never seems to move?”

Sure there are other questions

1. Where does the food and clothes come from?
2. Who built all this?
3. What happened to them?
4.Did Femi say “An odd sort of internet playing in your head?”
5.And so many more but to answer them might spoil a few things (If you buy a cheat book with your newest game then just stop playing)

Now on to the dull part; “Character Creation and the Complicated CS




Character Sheet


Picture of a real person I even allow face claims of stars

Name

Age

And a Novel of your character’s daring deeds, flights of fancy or a description of height or weight.

That’s it, sorry to be so demanding

(I don’t want to spoil my surprises so you too can have secrets...warning no hidden Tigers of the Red Temple Masters of Kung Fu or super geniuses..boring)



NEED INPUT


I’d love some story help or requests but must stress I am the Goddess here and mine is the final word...usually is anyway because I babble so much.

Well now to just see if I have screwed this up

This seems a bit too barebones if there's going to be any kind of exploration or combat, or activity at all for that matter. If nothing else I'd rather list out my character's story, perks, flaws, etc. by bullet point rather than sunk into a novel. It makes referencing much simpler for myself and other players.

Just knowing what my character looks like and how old they are, like in your current CS, isn't enough to work with. I can find out all that information the first time my character meets yours.

Also, I'd advise caution with open-world freedom. I would recommend having some kind of underlying objective (talk to this person, go to this place, do this sort of task) so that, when we are done wandering around, we have someplace to go to advance the story.

I suppose it could be a Twilight Zone episode; I was a fan in college @King Tai Oh and Hi Tai Long Time

@Fabricant451 "You only love me when you want punani"

@Mattchstick Yes it is bare bones which is why my last entry is about a Novel and my reason is that I want the characters to explore each other and discover what makes up the group. But I did give the player the option to go as detailed as they feel comfortable

I went bare because the life history stories should be internal just like in real life, we should have to learn where we each came from and what we can and can't do. In the real world we are each forced to take the person we meet at face value, to try and figure out if they are spinning tales or are that awesome.

I see so many people locked on Character Sheets tying to self analyze the character's personality and in the end few personalities match the initial one laid at the writing of the CS




I am I admit still working out the "What Ifs" of this world but that's only because I am the sister of the Devil in the Details

I have lots of details and I am working out which are worth keeping and which I must sacrifice. It is up to the players and their choices to live either the most boring of existences or lives filled with wonder.

Nooo not the damn video games as a last resort! :( I find myself in that situation at times too. You're not alone with that. Was considering joining. Still contemplating though.

@King Tai

The city is nice and safe and you can always find food, shelter, water, and other needs satisfied there.

Beyond the wall is the unknown, dangerous animals and who knows what else



Stay, stay here where all is provided and safe

It dawned on me...should I make some special way to keep everyone's hair styled?

I mean in all the adventure survivals they seem to have at least one person in the group who's talented at hair styling

I know its a detail that seems trivial but still a good question

@King Tai I like him
