Bio

I have been writing as a hobby for longer than you have been alive. I have been a regular member and roleplayer of no less than fourteen different online forums during that time (including the old RPG), five six eight of which no longer exist.

I was previously a regular on the Homestuck forums, but I became so sick of thread turnover there that I asked around and eventually found the Guild. Since joining, I have exclusively only participated in Advanced RPs. Before Mahz gave NRPs their own subforum, I used to be an NRP regular in the Advanced Subforum. I am a Guildfall survivor, and know/regularly write with a few others.

If you ask anybody who has written with me in previous RPs, they should tell you that I have a generally open schedule, I post regularly and in a timely fashion, and I never drop an RP once I join unless the thread dies. Some of them may tell you that I have extensive expertise within the realms of Biology, Psychology, and Physics, which I will make no effort to validate since there is no way I can provide hard proof of aforementioned alleged expertise to anybody over the internet (though I am happy to try and answer any questions you send my way).

My favorite fandom is the Myst franchise, which seemingly nobody other than me has ever heard of.

I was a Contest Moderator for the Writing Contests Subforum for just a little bit over two years. I wrote the Moderation Policy for that subforum and I ran a contest called the Twelve Labours; you can still go there and see all of them and the entries people wrote for them in the Contests Section and the Victory Archives.

I have been quadruple secret banned from the guild discord. That is not a joke.

ALSO: Some resources the rest of you may find useful.

Pesterchum download! Available for PC, Mac and Linux. Very user friendly, and has logs automatically converted to BBcode for copypasta here in the forums. Also has functions that allow for automated quirks, time travel pestering from the past/future, etcetera.

Captchalogue Card & Code Creator! Stick an image in the card, mash on the keyboard, and you are cooking with alchemy! In addition, here's an Alchemy Calculator for figuring out codes and the like on the fly.

Finally, an online collaborative doc-site! Because you can't make complete bullshit without teamwork.
Interested.
I was interested up until you mentioned the dice. I'm not averse to having stats and systemic balance, but making initial stats due purely to chance is a bit much. If the starting characters are genin, limited to a few elementary techniques and having less skill and talent than others, why even bother?

I'd like to suggest having everyone start off at the same, roughly equal and pathetic level, and allowing them to grow and branch off as they please.

Otherwise, I hope others find interest in your idea.
Interested, although you may want to elaborate further for the purposes of gaining traction.

Was there anything you had in mind? Were you looking for a 'normal' game session, insofar as a session can be normal, or did you have an idea for throwing in additional complications for the hell of it? Are you looking for a certain number of players? Did you want to focus on one particular species?

Will there be horses?

Elaborate a little.

Interested.

Edit: Having made a profile, if I have points left over, do I just throw them out or is there anything I can do with them?

Also, may we submit more than one character, or would you like us to stick with just the one for as long as it takes for you to kill them?
Even though you have almost certainly hit your participation cap, here's my application.


Name: Iikka Guiomar
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Personality: Fey, Mischievous, Willful
Wizard (Muggle-born)
Position Wanted: Divination
Secondary Position Wanted: Arithmancy


The intention is for Iikka to provide an education in predicting the future (kind of), tinted by a familiarity with muggle science and physics. Notably, he isn't a seer, and doesn't claim to be one. Hopefully he'll be able to round out the group's perspective, given his lineage and subject.
1. No magic.

2. Multiple species, all nonmagical (reiterating the first answer).

3. Custom preferred. Not averse to pre-existing settings.

3.1. Science Fiction.

3.2. Myst (Not that anybody knows what that is (...And it doesn't meet my own listed preferences, but its the exception to the rule)).

4.
4.1. Only if we're in a well established setting, such as Mass Effect - where picking one particular nation/faction is a given.
4.2. Some people build the challenge into their own nations. Even when you don't, you still have to deal with everyone else's factions. There is more challenge to interacting with other factions created from scratch than there is interacting with other factions you already know will be in the setting, no matter who you get stuck with yourself.
4.3. See 4.1.

5. No.
5.1. Clarify and refine your question.

6. As an implemented feature, absolutely not under any circumstance. There have been instances where others and myself have used coin flips or dice throws to determine RP outcomes, but only in such a case where both parties wanted the outcome to be truly random. - the usage of chance wasn't mandatory. Making chance mandatory makes it an obstacle to writing.

7. While I say I prefer settings without magic, I am not averse to effects that are traditionally considered magic - such as telekinesis/mind reading/shape-shifting - in instances where such effects can be accomplished using technology. Having a setting where every nation is stuck in a medieval stasis and relies on apparently 'magical' technology might be interesting.
The current Summerhall collab has Houses Stark, Baratheon, Tully, and Targyaren plus some Bannermen. If those of you writing for other houses join in, the first post should go up soon.
Zach, perhaps you should move the collab pad's link to the first post, for ease of access?
