I guess I should officially put down some interest, claiming Q2

@Willy VerebAnything is good mate, just tell me who you want your "main" character to be; anyone else after is again liable to being cannon fodder

40k Ork Nob

Name:
Aggrox Shootaloota

Species:
Ork iz best

'Rank'/Type:
I'z a Nob, dam gud 'un at dat! Uzed too be 'un dem Stormboyz den a Kommando!

Age:
Roight 'bout a senturie by dem 'umie yearz.

Klan:
Blood Axes. Wot? Chu got a zoggin' problem?

Appearance:
I'za bewtefull peese 'o wurk.

A large, bulky olive green ork, Aggrox's tough, leathery skin is covered in a collection of colorful tribal marks, no doubt remnants from his time as a Stormboy and then a Kommando. He towers over many, nearing a solid 8 feet in height but walks with a permeant hunch that knocks him down a few inches obtained from his last battle as a Stormboy. Numerous scars and cut cover his muscular body, one such wound a possible reason for the slight limp in his left leg.

His armor is almost a walking museum of his life, a collection of all his trophies, treasures and triumphs. Much of his armor is that of a kommando's; the rocket rigging used by stormboyz to hold their "jet packs" is still wore by the Nob as a sort of heavy duty backpack-harness which he carries ammunition and bombz. A single, modest spike protrudes from the middle of the harness that proudly carries the symbol of the Blood Axes along with a single skull. Around his belt is additional ammunition, utility tools, bombz, two skulls and his old respirator. His greatest trophy is that of a space marine's pauldron, looted from a dead Ultramarine and wore over his right shoulder. Under all of his metal plating and trinkets is red tank-top like shirt and durable blue squig-hide pants that's been repaired and stitched together countless times, protected by an armored skirt.

Personality:
"I'za kultur'd 'n inlietin'd ork, haff a zoggin' prooblam?"

Aggrox is a very interesting specimen amongst his ork cousins, and has some notably un-orky habits. The Nobs knows the virtues and worth in thinks like subtly, patience, discipline, cooperation and planning, how well he execute all of these things on a regular basis however is up for debate. With a slightly bloated ego, Aggrox sees himself as an "inlietin'd ork" who has "'umie untersandings 'o fings", his cunning as great as his narcism. The Nob also has a working understanding of "diplowmannc" above simply yelling and headbutting things from his dealings with the 'umies; he can control his voice and has learned the art of strategically headbutting.

That said, he's no less brutal and deadly as any other of his ork brethren, even if they do not see him as such. Growing up in the Blood Axes, Aggrox has learned how to deal with the constant insults being thrown at him by either taking them as a compliment or tracking said ork(s) down and beating the shit out of them with a grot. Sometimes squigs were also involved. Since becoming one of the older and more experienced orks, there's been a few less insults as he's lead several very successful raids and warbands, especially from the Boyz. He still keeps a squig handy though, just in case someone decides that some snarky remarks about him is worth being woken up at night by an angry squig trying to gnaw their face off.

History:

Skills: Kunnin' and brutal? Brutal and kunnin'? Good wiv' da bombz an stuff, is he a little bit weirdy? You know the drill.

Equipment:
< Choppa
< Big Shoota

Miscellaneous: Anything you want to mention but haven't been able to cover yet.

Writing Group Combat Scenes

How do you write/set up a combat scene in a group RP?

I don't mean "Arena-styled" if that makes any sense, but more like there's a group of enemies in front of your squad and you have to eliminate them. How does one set that up? Does the GM have to heavily detail their positions and everyone talks OOC before making a collab about it? Would using a map or sorts be worth it? What if the players decide not to do a collab and try to do it in separate posts, would that still work out?

What if there's guns involved (ie modern combat or WW2)? Is is just the same idea just at greater ranges? Speaking of which, what about supporting elements like "off map" artillery or some big magical abilities that alter the battlefield?

And then after all of that, then what if you have enemies littered all over the place a la Dark Souls/Bloodborne style?

Just something I was wondering about for a while now.

@NatsucooldudeJust going to ask about that

What about the others tho? Do I have permission or nah?

BRUTES

Fade: Space NRP-RPG fusion

@ClocktowerEchos You just gotta sit down at some point and type and type and keep typing even if what you write down isn't exactly what you want until you're finally done, and then you go back and fix some things, and then you're still not satisfied, but at least you'll be able to RP with it - and isn't RP'ing the whole point anyway?

@Queen Raidne

While I don't mind making myself write stuff up, if its gone to the point that I have to force myself to do it and even that at that point I'm still not interested/willing to do it, then its pretty clear to me that I'm not having fun. Isn't having fun the reason all of us RP in one form or another?

<Snipped quote by ClocktowerEchos>

The "long ass NS" was actually made that absurdly long intentionally. That way, I can be sure that anyone who actually finished it was truly committed to the roleplay, and those who were not would never complete the N.S. In essence, it was a "flirty RPer" filter.

Apparently, it worked

Regardless, I encourage you to keep going with us, as I do find your people very interesting and your writing style very enjoyable to read. I think if you stick with the RP for a little while, you'll find it very rewarding compared to simply phasing in-and-out of other RPs.

@Hael

No but seriously, I've literally been dead OOC, my NS hasn't been updated in some time and I don't even read the IC tbh. If I stick around, I'll most likely still never actually get a post up or if I do they'll be few and far between at which point I'll eventually just sort of shimmy out of existence in this RP. In short, it'd just prolong the process without actually solving the problem of my lack of interest.

Personally I already see that as my own lack of commitment which your system has weeded out. In a way I've already failed as a RPer in this RP in that sense. I just cannot see how just staying in longer will really do anything. Its not like I'm playing a major influence race tbh unless people really want me to push out a half-assed post every ye often.

Besides, even if I did have the energy to go write IC, my perpetually incomplete NS is basically preventing me from doing any such thing.

Ban the Person above you

Banned for attempting for being a revolutionary.

@HaelBlame it on my general flirty interest and also the long ass NS I guess :\

@HaelStill here sorta, I'll admit my interest in waning.
