Gowi's Interest Log

Hello! The name's Nightrunner. I've got a strange case of being a weirdo and find roleplaying uncharacteristically pleasurable for someone my age. All in all I've got three years experience, more or less, of roleplaying experience interrupted by my mundane lifestyle. Hopefully I'll continue to develop as a writer, but personal bias makes measurement hard to tell.

I've kinda been a dick to you, or felt like I have been later on. But the truth is I'm really quite fond of you and haven't shown it sufficiently. I see you're looking for things to play. So I'll see if I can seduce convince you to join me in this play-by-post roleplaying.

NARUTO - I'd assume you have an idea. If not, I could enjoy a good ol' genin adventure where the PCs train before taking the Chunnin exams. Fairly simple at the start and it could get more complicated/interesting as we go.

STAR WARS - In the early twentieth century, Nikola Tesla founded the Jedi Temple in New York City, leading to the formation of a New, Earth-based Jedi Order. Accepting force sensitive youths and adults alike, they have existed in secret, discreetly righting wrongs and acting as a buffer between human and extra-terrestrial relations.

SUPER MARIO BROS - Ever since Bowser has set himself up as the sovereign lord of the slow moving Koopas, he has rivaled the neighboring Mushroom Kingdom in martial strength and maintained his position through superior tactics. A birth defect occuring only in koopa twins grants superior musculature. These brothers, being the only Koopas capable of jumping, were utilized as special forces all across Bowser's domain, with caches of weaponry mystically suspended above the access of most passersby.

Then the saviors arrived, the ever rare humans, brothers at that. Mario and his little brother Luigi ravaged a perimeter established outside Princess Peach's castle, forcing Bowser to reassess his strategy. Looking for a slightly deeper, possibly darker Marioverse. We can swap dominant 'GM' positions if you'd like.

Starter Plots

• Forcing the brothers to run through a gauntlet, Bowser kidnapped the Princess before leading them on a wild goose chase.
• Faking a truce, Bowser invited key members of each community to a party! (Constantly endangering them along the way)
• A few from the Mushroom Kingdom are invited to a distant resort where Mario is framed for a crime.

MEGAMAN - Moreso than most people, I love Megaman. Over the years its built up an enormous mythology and has set the record for the longest series of video games. If you know anything/have played any of them, lemme know which! and I will drop you.. a dope pitch! I pretty much have it all absorbed in my head except for Star Force and love the entire world(s [in the case of BN/SF]).

BIONICLE - Like MM, Bionicle has a disproportionately small fanbase despite its deep mythology. My blog on Iwaku has the basis for a Bionicle game combining aspects of pre and post reboot universes. In case you aren't up to the enormous task of making sense of the Bionicle universe, I could refer you to a (freely accessible) movie or just call anything we do AU.

Avenging Justice (Young Superheroes of all mediums)

I know nothing of Big Hero 6. No opinion, bro.

Drew, on Fanfiction.Net there's a guy named Erico. He has a great wealth of Megaman fics, a Starfox, and a modern Legend of Zelda. The latter is actually on my reading list, but I would recommend checking it out based on the concept and the author's other work.

Why do cities, particularly NYC and California based cities (and cities based off of those), appeal to roleplayers so much?

Those are the two most heavily populated places in the US so far as I know. It appeaks to people because there is huge room for diversity there. I live in Fort Wayne, it doesn't look nearly as congested and doesn't feel anywhere near as exciting as the oceans of concrete on opposing tips of the US. They have very distinct culture that a lot of people are familiar with. And there's the fact that people like to reference other stories.

Does Luke Skywalker count as a superhero @DrewVonAwesome?

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Khan Javari - WIP

I'm sure that there are things wrong with this somewhere. But I'm not entirely sure what is missing. I'm eager for a response and to hear where I can build here. I'm well aware that the requirement is not yet submitted and relations need to be filled out. I may try and see if I can take the suggestion and work a relationship with Andri in there. Not sure if 'Bell', the secret, is entirely kosher. Thanks, y'all.

Name: Khan Javari
Species: Human
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Faction: Jedi Order
Rank: Jedi Knight
Captive? Nope, Rescuer

Appearance:
Khan is a man resembling, in a limited sense, a bear. His face is often unshaven, in fact he rarely goes out of his way to find a conventional blade to put to his face. The hair above his facial hair is unusually long, kept in dreadlocks for his convenience during rapid movement. His hair has a deep, hazelly color in his hair, blending well with the soft beige pigment of his skin. His stocky frame is large, six feet tall in height, and thick with muscle all throughout.

Flaws:
He is prone to hesitation when it comes to hurting people. For this reason, he likes to avoid direct confrontations. Even if he is in a clearly superior tactical or moral stance, he must push himself beyond his comfort zone to consciously cause pain. His belief in people's ability to be redeemed may often lead to unnecessary risks, such as the threat of bodily harm or betrayal. At times, he considers the lives of less sophisticated or non-sentient life forms to be of equal or greater value than the 'people' around him.

Skills:
Having lived in the forests of Kashyyyk, he has developed acrobatic finesse and the ability to climb many varieties of trees with his bare hands, or using his lightsaber when necessary. When he can hold himself together in combat he is very effective as a lightsaber duelist, deftly batting his blade unexpectedly in a risky, though typically rewarding, fashion. Also worth noting is his physique. While he is no match in a serious contest, he has playfully wrestled with Wookies for years, increasing his musculature massively through regular practice.

Force capabilities:
In addition to standard force abilities, he has an obvious aptitude for turning animals to his side and befriending them, leading to a mind-link with creatures in a 'mid-level' intellectual range. While he is not capable of a Force whirlwind (yet), he is capable of creating one-directional winds, akin to a force push from a direction not his own. Useful while he is amongst beasts is the Revitalize abilities, also used on occasion for more intelligent beings around him.

Biography:
The planet Coruscant had been the cradle for many infants in the realm of the Republic, but one of them would be quite different from those around him. Khan Javari had distinguished himself from his peers shortly after birth by building a lifelong relationship with a mere rodent, which would play with him, lay with him, or even fetch such things as a bite to eat for him. When he was three years old, Rauma, as his companion was named, died in her sleep.

Khan was given up by his parents to the Jedi Temple for training before he could develop any real memories of them. As was the case with virtually all around him, he dreampt of becoming one of the highly revered Jedi Knights, respected and beloved by all of the Republic. Yet he was initially awkward when compared to the others, little in size and uncoordinated in the realm of social exchanges. His greatest company and best friends were whatever animals happened to be near him.

Often the subject of pranks or social opposition, he was relieved when he was selected as apprentice by a Jedi named Bell Karama. By Karama's side, he honed his saber wielding abilities and got on a course of being a brutally effective duelist before being traumatzied by an unforseen torture. A mad Sith forced him to experience all the pain he'd caused others to feel through a psychic link. His master was a bit late to save him the pain, but did save his life.

At the age of seventeen he was freed of his apprenticeship, and unsurprisingly turned to a life of general seclusion in the forests of Kashyyyk, where he befriended several Wookies. He did so naturally because the Wookies proved too advanced mentally for his skill set. He never left Kashyyyk when higher orders didn't force his hand, but they did so annoyingly often.

While Khan himself was twenty-two he encountered a boy, thirteen years in age, who'd been living among the Wookies for a few days. The youth was capable of speaking basic, but couldn't remember his own history. More unusual though, was the story told by the boy's molten red skin and tendrils hanging on his face. He was a Sith Pureblood. Quickly, Khan made a pact with the Wookies, thanks to one of them who had a convenient speech impediment that enabled him to speak basic, that they would keep the boy's existance a secret. This Sith was named Bell, and he became the secret apprentice of Khan Javari.

When other Jedi were to come around, he concealed Bell with a helmet and forced him to keep in a cloak at all times. The years passed by and Bell eventually was taught to use a lightsaber, after much deliberation and peaceful indoctrination by Khan.

Now that he is twenty-seven years old, he has been contacted by Jedi Master Lyric Novan in response to a number of Jedi disappearances. Entrusting Bell to handle himself responsibly, Khan decided to turn his back on the declarations of the Council and Republic for the sake of his brothers in arms.

Personality and/or Motivation:
Khan is not lenient on his stance as a user of the Force's 'Light' side. In fact, he considers it his mission to help bring at least a few of the Sith Purebloods to the Light. He has long tried to spread justice and equality, respect for every individual. He hates no person or beast, attempting to redeem every life in his ability so they don't deserve a terrible fate at their end. However, he does hold a mighty distaste for wicked actions and qualities. When in the defense of those already innocent, he is going to be willing to take a life.

Player’s long term goals:
In Star Wars there are too many species to number, or at least more than I care too. All in all there are none I can think of that are painted as dark as the Sith Purebloods, discounting the Y. Vong. Prejudice would naturally result. Khan's story is an exploration of Jedi relations with the Sith species, Nature versus Nurture. I want to have him bring a sentiment nearing sympathy for the Sith. Naturally clashing idealogically with Jedi more concretely against them.

Relations:

Final Point - Secrets:
Bell - his secret/unofficial Sith Pureblood apprentice

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Yes. Thank you.

That was what I assumed, but one of the Rules said all PCs must be force-sensitive, I wondered if this was an exception but figured I was better safe than sorry. Appreciate the insight.

I'll read the CSs, the Summary, and recent IC/OOC postings. Anything else critical for basic joining? If not I'll afterward see what I can make.

Coruscant Sacked: Aftermath

Hello, the name's Nightrunner. I am impressed by your organization and depth. But I am left reaching for a few details. Under recruitment wishes it says that you want a soldier or two. What exactly does that mean? A force-wielding non-jedi working with JPs and JRs? I could work with that. But I have a lot of catching up to do. I've read through the main Character tab's first post as well as the OOC and began the IC. But what all would you consider essential reading besides scanning the CSs?

Sorry if I'm asking any questions already answered clearly. Thank you for your time.

RPGC theme ideas

Here's an idea. Rather than a theme, the contest shares a plot.

A knight and his apprentice travel to a neighboring land before being captured. Their captors are of a different species than they, and have them vastly outgunned. Using their wits, the pair escapes before retrieving an artifact that grants them an unexpected edge. A battle breaks out and the master dies, but his student escapes before returning home and raising an army against their captors.

Now, what I'd like to see amongst entries would be variations on who exactly the pair are, their goals, the world around them, the details I was vague on, and the aftermath of course. I want to see different characters every time, but basically read the same story. Maybe this would be better suited as a stand-alone contest, but I'd like to see something to the effect of: Everyone uses the same plot.

Don't know what you'd call the theme.

Artistic Liberties? Outlines?

The Ultimate Character Sheet

Probably, EZ.

I'm going to fill this out. Nothing can stop me. Prepare to be bored to death by my extraordinarily descriptive detail.
