Who/what was your first OC?

Back when I wrote Runescape fanfiction on the official forums my first attempt at writing a complete story was something lampooning the trend of the "Noob Story". For the unaware, a Noob Story was a work of slash comedy pretty much where the author would go through the life of a fresh player-character in the world of Runescape, hitting up everything a new player is expected to do, lampooning high-level players, and otherwise being a misery. There were a few that were pretty good, but all-in-all the genre was considered trash.

So I decided to poke fun at it.

I forget the name of the character for my story, I swear he might have been named after an old video-game console with a name that sounded like it could be applied to a person as much as a marketing brand for an electronic entertainment device. But in any case, the MC in focus was the high-level player in a sense, being the adventurer who had made himself a name and was comfortable. And then there was the new guy to the adventuring world.

In the story, he pretty much refuses to assist the rookie who runs off an has a wizard curse him. At which point he begins to loose his abilities and effectively his experiences and memory as well as his gear and recognition of his existence is slowly eroded away by the work of this spell. So he goes from being a self-made, self-righteous asshole to being as lost as the rookie he lashed. Eventually he ends up back on Tutorial Island which was re-purposed as a sort of boot camp for would-be adventurers.

There were also jokes about the developer Jagex and how the entire perceivable world was actually determined by them as sort of god-beings. They knew their world to be a video game but the inhabitants didn't. But I failed to explore it beyond that because the story never moved past Tutorial Island when I got there.

My other hits in this early-time included Lazarus, a would-be despotic dictator. Another character that was my attempt at writing a quasi-Jim Morisson. Also a warrior-king of the RS world's desert loosely based on the romantic portrayals of Saladin by the name of Abu-Bakr. Last I checked the former character's story was still alive, despite being maybe five or more years old by now.

Yes. Don't do it.

If you have never participated in an NRP before, I highly recommend joining one before starting your own. GMing an NRP is a different monster entirely, well beyond the normal "GMing is a huge hassle". It is essential that you have experience being on the other side, the side of the players, first.

@The Nexerus

Beyond this I would venture to say there's a GM-player inequality. Or I'd like to say, or I always have.

------------------------------------------

Frankly, just join one and see it through. You can find a variety of methods or styles or genres ranging from historical to fantasy to sci-fi to alternate universe. You may find titles that are stat-based or narrative based. So there should be something worth the taste.

And if I'm allowed to plug then I do often try to kneel to a wider audience. In Precipice at least you're not often limited to nations, and I do allow various "non-governmental" agencies to operate in the world. And even single characters. Though, people have tried to play as these but quickly found themselves short on ideas on what to do so they end up dying. And in the case of individual characters I believe some people have been disheartened at their lack of obvious impact on the plot.

But Precipice has been the sort of RP where we give less a shit about how strong you are and more about how often you post and write your own stories or work into the existing story and political dynamic. It's how seemingly unimportant second or third-tier nations like Ethiopia and Armenia are so highly regarded among us as players: their players just make committed posts (although our later is leaving for the Academies soon so is understandably going to be MIA for a bit).

WHY IS NO ONE FREAKING OUT?!?!

I am highly amused with:

Customized player structures
Customized player settlements
Customizable weapons and power armor.

But then there's the voice MC.

Careful you don't beat your wife to miscarriage.

I found a porn blog with the same colour scheme as RPGuild but a more annoying font.

His catalog brings all the boys to the yard.
And they be like: "Yo, you makin' be real hard".
