And bumping for the next day...
And bumping because I think now is prime time? Not sure.


Now Recruiting!

2 positions open!

Deadline: Saturday 08/25/2014 at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time


Hi there! This is a new interest check to notify players of RpG that 2 spots have been opened up in the roleplay I am now GM'ing; Aurora! Aurora has been going for 4 months now, and though our numbers are now dwindling and our original GM has absconded, they did not do so without leaving me the secrets to the universe to allow me to continue from where we left off. Check it out if you are interested.

Just as the roleplay started, the recruitment process here will be by audition. All are free to submit a character to me by PM, but only up to two candidates will be selected from to join in. I can only manage two extra slots (for a total of 4 characters, plus my own that I am now writing completely alone for the time being), and so I must restrict acceptance. It is done by way of audition to ensure roleplayers of sufficient skill participate and that I find the right kind of inspired characters to fit in to Aurora's lore.

The deadline is this Saturday: 08/17/2014 at 12:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Submissions sent after this period may or may not be considered depending on how many applications actually come in. Decisions will be made only after the deadline is up. Below is the character skeleton and some notes.

Creating a character is pretty much the same as in any other roleplay. I only ask of you to create a background that puts your character in a position in the present in which he/she/it is currently on a mission. It could be any sort of mission (‘mission’ is used loosely here). They could be on the hunt for someone with a bounty on their head, or they might be on the run from the authorities! They could be a warrior who is trying to move up in the ranks, or a mage trying to learn in an academy of magic! It can be anything so long as it creates a goal that I can facilitate. Initially all characters will be alone unless they agree with one another to start together. If you need help, I can make suggestions to help tie you in to the current plot.

This does not mean they will always be alone, however (they’ll always be with some NPCs or another, at the very least); if I deem it sensible or a good idea, and the opportunity arises, I will have characters come into contact with one another. Once again, though, this does not cement them together. At any point they can separate again in favor of going down a different path, and there may never be a point where you wish to join up with another player. That's fine too.

With that, use your imagination!

Note: Describe your background outside of the CS in the PM you send me. Please summarize exactly what your character’s current goal or situation is. Depending on how I feel about it, I may discuss it with you/ask questions. Silence does not necessarily mean I do not like it.

[Appearance at top of sheet]
Name:

Race: (if it is a race of your own creation, described it here)
Home Sphere: (if any)

Theme Song: (Not required at all. Entirely stylistic and has no bearing on roleplaying)
Other:

Notes:

  • You’re free to be any sort of power level you wish, though realize that with great power comes great responsibility. Your actions will have greater impact than if you were less powerful. Also note that I will match difficulty in “opponents” (if any) compared to your power level. You’re never safe. That, and the 'impact' you have may not necessarily be good, depending on your choices.


  • I prefer appearances to be an image. You’re free to describe them as well, or to not use an image, however.


  • Your background is so open-ended that I permit the creation of entire Spheres with their own histories (and really anything else). Anything you don’t describe, however, is surrendered to me; I may further the setting of whatever you create in any way I wish, though do expect me to consult you first. I’m not a jerk. If it relates to something I have already made, I will let you know if it meshes or not. Other than that, go wild.


  • A wiki has been made with previously-established creations and knowledge listed. I'd advise looking it over to get a scope of what has/hasn't been made. If you want to check it out, please tell me so in a PM.



Remember to send me your sheet by PM and only PM. Do not send it to anyone else, or discuss it with anyone else. Good luck, and I hope to see some new faces!
Well, this sucks. As it turns out, I'm sick. Probably with just a cold, but it's enough of a pain in the ass on top of this hot weather that I just don't have enough give a shit to do anything right now but laze around and eat sorbet.
Ley's has a response now. Scipio's I'll be scrolling over again to see how I'll continue it, and Alexandra's can be continued tomorrow but... I'm switching to Titanpad. I can't stand google docs for collaborative writing.

I can definitely continue with Scipio's tomorrow, if you're up for it Master Jay.
Doing a back and forth will make it really difficult for either of us to figure out much so maybe it would be better to set a good time to drag me in to the collab so I can go check it out. I can guarantee that if you're having trouble you will have a much easier time if I'm there to help you work things out. Of course I'm still studying up on everyone's stories. I've gone through Alexandra's and Scipio's so far. Still looking through Ley's.
Spending a few hours today to read over everyone's already written stories to review some details, then I'll be back home where I have internet access to read over all of your current collabs, then I'm going to start an Evernote notebook for my own reference to be sure I've got everything down and... well, then when I'm confident enough, we can all begin again. I have Skype, which is a much better way to get a hold of me than this place since it doesn't give me message alerts. If you're all interested in that, and have it, lemme know.
If this is all we've got, I'll finish up my questions with Asuras and then that will be that.
They were pretty big before the site update. Sometime in 2011, there were quite a number in Casual AND Advanced. And one on one I think. One on one seems to have less demand for it but you'll still get bites if you place int checks for it.
Alright... now, are there any questions anyone has pertaining to Aurora they would like answered sometime through roleplay? These will just be questions I'll ask Asuras so I know what to generate or specific details that I might be missing but already generated.
