@CourierSix Now imagine him seeing Section's tank and wanting it for himself...


That will undoubtedly happen. In fact, it'll probably come down to, "If I can't have it, no one can."

That's really a good portion of why I'm excited for this. There's some serious potential in the character interaction.
<Snipped quote by CourierSix>

Imperialistic conquest would make for more violence and would make other people have to be more cautious because "That guy and his rag-tag mafia goons are out there." Which is fun, but not for long. I like the "I must rebuild by any means necessary" thing, because we can improve our chances by staying away from his private resort. The "I am a huge jerk" guy isn't going to last very long: people won't stay with him if they don't like him and don't need him. He has to be necessary, so I see three ways:
1. He's a dictator, and no one is allowed to leave because he has the biggest guns and toughest buddies. People only come to him because he has a lot of stuff. He actively attacks and steals from survivors.
2. He's a smooth talker, and people stay because they have faith in him, when he's really just power hungry. Everything is "For the collective good." He actively convinces survivors to join him and share supplies in exchange for safety.
3. He's a wise old man, and people stay because they like him and he knows how to survive and rebuild, when he's secretly bitter about whatever. Everything is "Because I know best." He actively seeks control of survivors for...I don't know why.


I like the idea of #1 the best. Not only that, but I feel that is also the one I can pull off most effectively. I hope that isn't just me overestimating my ability, though... But thanks for the suggestions.

et cetera is two words by the way.


It's not entirely wrong, as I have seen it places like @ravenDivinity has. I do know that "et cetera" is technically the correct version, though, but usually end up typing "etcetera" out of habit.
So, I have an idea for a to-be antagonistic character who essentially becomes the leader of a decently-sized settlement. That's all I have set in stone. I may have him become power hungry and set out on an imperialistic conquest of the desolate world, or have him see it as his duty to rebuild society by any means necessary. Possibly even just make him an absolute jerk who wants nothing more than to scare people into doing what he wants, I dunno. Some outside opinions, suggestions, and etcetera would be welcomed with open arms, though.
Depending on how this RP progresses once it starts, I would be highly interested in playing a villain of some sort, if I can.
I would go ahead and call G, but that is only in a secondary team name. Hmm...

Alright, no worries. There will always be time and space for you to join whenever you're comfortable.

I'm setting this RP as a mid-high casual level so 3+ grammatically correct paragraphs is the minimum I'm looking for. As for playing as a Team, you'll be with 3 other people so you won't have to worry about being a whole team yourself. (I imagine it would be... interesting. But it's not what we're doing here.) The reason I have so many is... well, because why not? If they get filled, great, if not then it doesn't matter.


I was curious because I would actually be interested in playing as a whole team. But I'm okay with it if that's not how it's going to be done here.

BUT.

What would you say to one person having two characters?
<Snipped quote by CourierSix>

Of course. Is there something you're specifically looking for in terms of speed or is it anything I can help with?


My main concerns are not with speed. On other accounts, I'm an active member of a speed-posting RP, so I can post every day with ease. I'm mainly concerned with style, and it's hard to explain. I just have to look at the posts and I get this feeling that it'll work out with me.

I'm also curious about post length, and whether or not we can play an entire team. I'd be interested as playing a whole team myself, and would be more inclined to join if I could.
I am interested, but I want to see how posting in the IC will look before wholly dedicating myself. I don't want to get into something that's too much for me to handle or anything, if you catch my drift.
Mr_pink said he was done, I pmed him. Where do we go from here?
