In SoL, the 'goals' become the drama and interpersonal connections/histories players make with each other. Plus setting in in places like a school/college for example give you a timeline to work with.

About
Been at this game for a good while now. Starting RPing at the tender age of 15 back when Bebo was a thing. A year later I found myself forum Roleplaying and haven't really looked back since. Over these past ten years I have done practically every kind of RP you could imagine from Nation RPs and Arena RPs to 1x1s and Large group RPs. My last RP hobby was fighting RPs, which I have now decided to leave behind in order to pursue more SoL style Rps.

Outside of RP I am an aspiring writer, despite being terrible with words, as well as an avid gamer. If I am not on discord with the Guild or RPing in some way, I am probably on either my PlayStation or on Steam. Moved into D&D and ended up starting a podcast that has been an interesting journey.

Operation Exodus

A Halo RP





Location: Planet New Darwin, Holt City
Current Status: Under Covenant Siege / Siege Length 40 days

New Darwin is a border colony world which in the beginning of the human-covenant war was surprisingly spared from the initial invasions. This all changed however when rumours began to spread about the discovery about a potential sacred artefact buried somewhere on the planet. The battle lines had advanced far beyond New Darwin and it took a while for any Covenant forces to actually arrive. When they did, the planetary assault force was underwhelming consisting of only a handful of corvettes. The colony city was able to defend itself, and while it didn't outright destroy the corvettes, it damaged them sufficiently to force them back into the upper atmosphere where they were useless. This created an issue however, as now the city was desperate to try and evacuate its civilian population.

The UNSC, only just hearing about the almost forgotten colony of New Darwin, quickly mobilised it's nearest task force, a small group of light and heavy frigates to New Darwin. Upon almost immediately arriving they engaged with already weakened Covenant corvettes, overpowering them and forcing them further and further back. The plan was to open up a gap wide enough that a fleet of human civilian vessels could leave and escape. The plan was not to be, as soon after the UNSC arrived, the Covenant bought in back up in the form of two capital ships. The beast ships quickly swatted away the frigates, forcing them to retreat to the other side of the planet. Quickly they established dominance, landing forces into the city and setting up a space elevator between the ground and one of the capitals, opening the way for a more intense invasion.

The UNSC responded the best they good, sending a single Valiant-class super heavy cruiser filled to the brim with marines, weapons and vehicles. The plan was to enter the atmosphere, drop off whatever it could and then speed off to meet up with the damaged frigates. For this purpose it was decided that ODST was the way forward. The operation was a success, the ship entered the atmosphere so rapidly that the two capital ships didn't have time to respond, before it Jettisoned every last ODST it had alongside a myriad of marine and vehicle loaded pelicans to compliment current ground forces. Before the Covenant could open fire the ship had already began its trip back up and towards the damaged frigates, armed with repair supplies to start making emergency repairs.





During this RP you will be playing the roles of either Marines or ODST that landed on the planet in the counter attack, or had been bravely holding on since the start. There is deliberately no Spartans to help avoid a debate over how powerful they are or what they can and can't do. Also playing as weaker beings generally makes for better writing.

This will be a different RP simply because it won't progress like a normal RP. This is going to a cross between a Advanced RP and a Table-Top RP. Players will make actions and at the end of their turn i - the supreme one will give your characters a choice of actions, which depending on their skills and stats will have differing chances of success.

I am hoping this makes a great RP that has story telling and thinking involved. Not only do you have to win, but you have to take logical steps based on your skills. And yes, characters will die.

If you are interested declare below and if i get enough i will start putting together more information, CS and systems etc.

Thank you for reading

Time was dragging. Really dragging. Why won't they stop looking at me? Did i interrupt something? Slowly the crowd went back to their business, once the echo from the door had subsided. After spotting Cynthia and Riley; the only two that made sense in this chaos, and the two he consequentially wanted to avoid, Cynthia called over to him and waved. Jacob sighed. It was a deep hearty sigh, years of loneliness and seclusion all compacted into a single breathing motion. There was no going back now however. Social convention now dictated he must speak to Cynthia and approach the duo. While it had been a decade since they had interacted like this {Although with Cynthia that wasn't exactly true} it still felt like high school to him. Taking those steps across the gym were almost as hard as the initial steps he took only a few minutes ago. That feeling of strange nostalgia hanging in his mind, clouding his judgement and overall making everything he saw a living hell.

What was he actually expecting? Cynthia to mock him and Riley punch him? Things had changed. People had grown up and lives had moved on. What happened at high school stayed in high school right? Actually no, ignore that. They were in high school, so that metaphor was actually true rather than being some sort of witty statement. But still, people had changed. After completing the necessary steps to reach the crowd he heard Riley's words. Okay, maybe things hadn't changed. Those words almost went through him like a dagger. Well actually more crawling under his skin. His name wasn't exactly hard to say or pronounce. It couldn't have been a nickname as they were shorter than the actual name; Jackie was longer than Jacob. The whole concept of calling him Jackie made no logical sense, and they frustrated him. Even now, 10 years later he was scrunching his face slightly, avoiding the urge to correct her, visibly it had become clear that Riley had pushed one of Jacob's many buttons.

"Hello Cynthia..." Despite the fact he had lived in the US for most of his life, and the fact that he had only been in England for at best 4 years, he still had an unshakeable British accent. It actually frustrated him. Looking over at Cynthia he remembered the day he went to visit her in her isolation. He still couldn't shake off the fact she had been released. Even if she wasn't the murderer, was she really ready for the outside world? Then again, many thought Jacob should have been in Cynthia's situation growing up, after all he had a mental illness in many peoples minds, in others it was a condition. Still at least Jacob had somewhat adapted to life. For Cynthia it was going to be a process of doing that all over again. At first he wanted to ignore Riley, but he knew that was rude. So once she got back from her drink he just muttered some words, not though about, no emotion, heck not even malice attached to them "Hello Riley" Jacob didn't want to speak to Tim just yet. he was only comfortable speaking to a few people at a time, and despite his previous relationships with the two of them, Jacob knew them a lot more than Tim. So for now, Jacob would remain silent
I would be interested to see how this plays out in practice
Okay all, that is great. We will wait for two more to appear to make five and then it will start. Others can hop in as it goes.

Also I will update the map at the weekend when I get on my computer
There we go, my first post. I hope it is alright xD

Location: Outside Grimm High School Gym >> High School Gym
Interacting With: @Nallore@Lady Amalthea



It had been a long time since Jacob Blackwell had set foot in Grimm. His mother still lived there, but he hadn't been to see her in years. This was not because him and his mother had fallen out, it was more down to the fact he had been so busy over the past couple of years. His business over the past five years had grown at such a rapid rate that he couldn't keep up. Sure he had gained a crap load of money as result, but the years were starting to escape.

Tense would be an accurate description of how Jacob felt right now. It had been a long trip to Grimm; starting in Tokyo and ending up back at his high school. Three flights: Tokyo to Hawaii, Hawaii to Los Angeles then LA to Indiana. The final part of the trip was now underway. And those butterflies in his stomach would not go away, nerves creeping in as he entered the town limits. Thankfully though he wasn't driving. One of the perks of being rich was that you didn't need you drive anywhere.

The final few meters was the most tense, the black Mercedes Limo pulling up into the parking lot. Usually Jacob would wait for the driver to get out and open the door for him. However this time he simply opened the door himself and stepped out, startling the driver somewhat. Jacob raised his hand and dismissed the driver "Go into town and grab something to eat or something. Or drop my bags at the hotel... just go do something!" Jacob's voice started to rise towards the end, bordering on shouting.

Jacob began to walk towards the gym, the first few steps took forever to take. Each step was succeed by a pause in pace. Memories started to flood back with each step, overwhelming his senses and causing his brain to stop function.

Walking onto campus was distressing enough each morning. Cynthia didn't make it any more helpful though. The past few days her and Simone had been coming at her like a double offensive, if it wasn't Cynthia making comments or getting in his face, Simone was getting ready to pull some 'hardass' bitch move on him. As he approached the school doors he could see Simone inside. Even at long range, Jacob had learnt to spot trouble. Stopping in his tracks he decided to go the long way, walking around the gym and entering through one of the gym doors. Sure it meant walking through the jocks... but he would rather be mocked by a group of boys than have to face Simone.


The memory in his mind had finished replaying and before he could bring his conscious mind back into reality his feet had already started tracing those very steps he used to take to avoid the main entrance. Soon enough he had reached the side door to the gym. And his hand floated above the handle for a few seconds. Was he really ready for this? Did he really want to do this? Walk back into the lions den again? Still he had traveled the world to be here, Did he really want to waste all that time now? No was the simple answer. So with his mind made up Jacob opened the door into the gym and stepped inside. He had hoped that because it was the side door he would not have attracted attention, however the door clearly hadn't been maintained in a while as when he opened it it let out a loud and roaring creak, pretty much notifying everyone in the gym of his presence. It wasn't exactly good. When he walked through the door slammed shut with a bellowing echo too... As if the male didn't need to be singled out anymore, eyes descending upon him. It was like high school all over again... everyone looking at him. The memories of the prom came back to him too. About the investigation, about discussions people had about Jacob being the real killer... He was fairly sure none of those people were around, most of them were police officers and federal agents he had spoken to. He couldn't remember if the information had reached the populace before hand.

Still here he was, the echo coming to an end. "Um...Hello?" Jacob spluttered, years of confidence running a business shattered in a few seconds, his former teen self coming back into play. He placed his hand behind the back of his head, scratching the back of his scalp lightly. He just wished people would have turned back around and stopped looking at him. They were all looking at him. Scanning quickly he froze when he noticed Cynthia, his old high school reactions kicking in. As if the nightmare couldn't get any worse, he saw Riley too...fucking Riley. This was like hell on a plate. He was fairly sure he had dreams about those two being together with him alone... Not pleasant indeed. And could people stop staring at him


I would say there needs to be a new category relating to the place the RP is at, so like: Recruiting, starting, started bit still recruiting and finished. That way it is easy to distinguish fresh RPs from mature lnes at a glance.
