Things you should keep in mind about my RP...
1) If you need me to post, PM me. My memory is awful.
2) No matter how much I may love the source material, I will not join an RP if the Interest Check, IC, or OOC has too many posts. I am not reading all of that. If you want me to join, PM me a summary.
3) I won't even read source material in the Interest Check or OOC sections if the IP is, like, super convoluted, long, or snobbishly formatted. Keep that shit IC. Give me clear and concise posts or I'm gone. I dont have all day to sort through your five different fonts and your 17 paragraphs of setup.

you could make a character anyway and wait for someone to die, or someone else could make an extra character for you to be nemesis with. i wouldnt mind making a hero :)

The all-inclusive, not-uptight parody meta/multiverse "If I Ever Became an Evil Overlord" RP

Forum: General Interest Checks
I once wrote the If I Ever Become an Evil Overlord... list into a script, and it was pretty funny. Think a better version of the show Gallivant + Ming the Merciless if he was smart. The premise is I play the intelligent evil overlord, implementing all of the things in the list. The overlord even has a copy of the list in scroll format. You play one of the characters in the list, whether it's his trusted lieutenant or the epic hero, and you must not only try to foil the diabolical plans of the evil overlord, but also be entertaining.
"What's stopping you from just god-moding as the evil OverGM? It looks like there's no point because you're going to win no matter what."
Well two points: 1) This is about having fun, not being a hardass, and just making really great puns. And 2) I think it would be interesting to see if following the list would actually prevent any hero from taking down this evil overlord. If I do something like smite your character with lightning without a good IC explanation, call me out. I've been writing, RPing, and storytelling for over twenty years. I think I know just a little bit about being creative.
I am putting this in the Free section, though I expect everyone to be smart about it. I have discovered that the Advanced section isn't so much Advanced in storytelling, as it is simply putting a lot of words on a page. And I've seen some pretty amazing RPs in the Free section that I personally think should go to the Advanced board. So even though this is going to be in the Free section, don't let that deter you, elitists. You can have fun too...

havent thought that far ahead. probably not brothers. they look too different
cool.
.
may still join but im busy a lot, mostly with other RPs and procrastinating my writing project. depending on the number of people and stuff like that, i may still join. :)
@Icepick is this still a thing?
@Blackpanther Post your character here whenever youre ready and one of the GMs will check it out. When approved, just have your character be in a cell in another cell block or prison building, and Portal (and/or someone) will rescue your character. thats how everyone is starting.

what do you think? I checked the CS's because i wanted to make a role that nobody had done, and i was surprised nobody made a captain, so i did. :)
=======================================
Name - Elijah Allan McConnell
Nickname(s): Eli, Allan, Al, Mac, Conn
Alias/codename: Morning Star
Age - 33
Species - Human (probably...mostly...)
Role - Captain of the Hellion (if it's available)
Gender - Male
Appearance -
Personality - Known to bend the rules, Elijah Allan McConnell has been called a maverick captain, though he certainly wouldn't call himself that. McConnell is very level-headed and usually makes measured, rational decisions, tactically as well as personally. He is witty and sarcastic, even on the bridge, but never lets his sense of humour or personal issues get in the way of doing the job, at least not often. He is human after all. He is highly intelligent, intuitive, and analytical. He also prefers the company of a couple of friends over his entire crew, earning him a reputation as an introverted loner. However, he loves his crew, and spends as much time with them as possible...just not all at once. Captain McConnell is also perceptive, straight-forward, and often self-deprecating. He is quick to take the blame for something, even when it's not his fault at all, and if he can reasonably cover for one of his soldiers' mistakes or lacks in judgment, he will. As long as it doesn't harm anyone.
History - His military records show that Elijah McConnell was an average kid up until puberty, where he not only grew physically, but also mentally. His high intelligence and natural intuition made him a perfect candidate for officer school in the Coalition. However, soon after he graduated the training academy, he went missing for a couple of months. When he returned, he would not speak of what had happened, and the Coalition military ordered him not to speak of it, essentially classifying and sweeping away any independent investigation. Elijah McConnell quickly rose through the ranks until he became the Tactical Executive Officer on the Rainstorm, under his cousin, Captain Brinehard. The Rainstorm was destroyed and his captain was killed in a battle with the Throgg, making Commander McConnell the acting-captain. Upon his return, he was formerly promoted to Captain and given the command of his first ship, the Hellion. He has one younger brother named Simon. Their parents are dead.
Equipment - Dual plasma pulse pistols (proficiency above average); plasma pulse SMG (proficiency above average); Hardlight blade (proficiency expert); stun grenades (proficiency average).
Ship - I am assuming he can captain the Hellion if it is available. If not, he would like a similar ship called Tears of Silence. His crew would be no more than a couple hundred, no less than a dozen, mostly rookies since he's a relatively new captain. If possible, the ship has an AI (hologram and android) called Kimmy.
Activity - In a perfect world, I can post every day, but as I have just discovered this week, I am in like 20 RPs, so I'm gonna say once a week to be safe. But most likely every other day or every two days.
Extras - If anyone wants to play his crew in addition to the current main characters you are currently playing, that would be cool. If you want ideas, I would like someone similar to Percy on StarHunter as tech or helm, Jadzia Dax as science or security, someone with a bad bedside manner as the medical officer, and an Alan Rickman type as an XO.
OH! And I would like a hologram named Kimmy. :)
