Makori Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Okay, so while I came into this forum with a brilliant idea and more than an ample thought behind the characteristic mechanisms and whatnot, I figured that, being a newbie, it might be more prudent to discuss and, if needed, postpone actually attempting to request my idea until I have a pretty good idea of if my thoughts are feasible. With the lack of activity in the RP section and so much of the rest of the forum to explore, I figure sitting here and talking things through before taking definitive steps was a good way to start. Basically, in the wake of the Anglar Blitz, a massive campaign of reconstruction takes place on all the afflicted planets, still burdened by repairing the damage done by the Aparoids as well. Given all this, within a year or two the CDF has gone through a massive drawdown in troop strength, and the other inhabited planets like MacBeth and Titania are also looking to invest their budgets elsewhere. As a result, mercenary activity shoots up across the system, and with it the people looking to use them. Our story begins in a bar on Zoness, still trying to clean itself up but quickly turning into a toxic, crime-riddled hole as honest people move out and criminals move in. Here, our group is contracted to investigate a secret on Fortuna, given a ship and some supplies and told we will receive a -very- generous fee. Unfortunately, after touching down it is quite clear that something is not right, and in the end we may have to fight more than just the wildlife to get off the planet alive at all... So, any thoughts? Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Sounds good. If this does get approved, I'll go ahead and leap in with one of my RPing characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makori Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Really? Any idea which one you'll use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Redd Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I like it, however I'd prefer if the Command aspect was completely taken away and it was set after the Aparoid invasion, and I'm sure at least some would agree with me, however it's your RP, and you should do with it as you see fit. I'd probably try it out either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makori Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well, Command did suck major ass. So all I have to do is change the date to 10 ALW without the Anglar Blitz, right? That actually works -really- well with my idea. lol So which character would you use, Alba? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I don't think my only RP character would fit in very well with that, so I'd probably make a new one. I'm particularly new to RP. Oh and just because it doesn't seem like you know this, Command is non-canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makori Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Well, with Command being non-canon, that'll allow me to amend a few wrongs. lol Btw, how many liberties do you think I can stretch with the things that haven't been explored in detail? Like Lylat's crime activity or the Venomian Imperial Guard structure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea which one you'll use? I think I'll bring back Sal Gelado and Spector from the Predator and Prey RP we did here about a year ago. I'll post the Bios for them below: Name: Salto "Sal" Gelado Age: 16 Sex: Male Species: Anthromorphic Red-and-Green Macaw: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-and-green_macaw Homeplanet: Earth Height: 1m 79cm Appeareance: Mainly red body, with traces of green and blue feathers on his wings. One of his green eyes is hid behind a long strand of head feathers. Muscular enough to show that he is a good freeflyer and freerunner, but not too overly done to show he's a macho man. Or rather, macho bird. Clothing: Wears an echo hat with knitted holes just big enough to let some of his head feathers out. Always carries a headset so he can stay connected with his acquatainces and friends. Personality: Salto is a nomad, his life taking him wherever he flies or freeruns to. Speaks with a fairly distinct Brazilian accent. Speaks fluent English and French, but struggles with the occasional word in times of stress. Name: Spector ''Spec" Cachoeira Age: 21 Species: Anthromorphic Military Macaw Sex: Male Homeplanet: Earth Height: 1m 56 cm Appearance: Mainly light green body with long body feathers and tips of a darker green on the tips of his wings. Small tuft of red fur resting just above his beak. Hazel brown eyes, and medium-length legs and talons. Clothing: Wears a brown and white shawl on his body to keep him warm. Head feathers are medium-length. Personality: While a keen explorer, Spector is actually a lot better when it comes to tactical thinking and planning, a fact he refuses to admit, despite it being true. Spector is also kind of withdrawn and shy, speaking only to the people he's most comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makori Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 So that's the three of us so far. How long should we hold out before we begin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 You can get started whenever, but note that I'm on half-term holidays at the end of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makori Posted February 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 The IC Link And we're online folks! I waited a while to see if we could catch anyone else, and right now I'm satisfied. Let's start this up, and have some fun. We'll start with intro posts and mood setting before I bring in our employer and get things rolling forward, so feel free to storytell all you want! Also, for the ones who haven't, I'd like a character sheet posted here before you go in the IC please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneUnder Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Generally speaking, it's usually accepted to wait for RP mod approval on your RP before starting it up. I'd also like to point out that joining messages usually go in the RP's request thread, and not its discussion thread. With that said, I haven't been able to be online as much as I'd have liked to as of late, and therefore haven't been able to peruse the board as often as a result. This one gets a pass. Well that, and it's not like any other new requests are flooding in. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arminius H O Fiddywinks Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 I wish to join this RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a while without a denial or any word at all, my first action should have been to send you a message to get your attention. Secondly, thank you for letting me get this off the ground anyway. I never meant to undercut you. 9 hours ago, Arminius H O Fiddywinks said: I wish to join this RP. Then just get a CS put up and feel free to have him join when you can.

Makori Posted February 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Four? Wow... Well, I look forward to seeing your work! Also, a request please guys; if we could keep all Out of Character discussion in here rather than the In Character thead, I would appreciate that.

Arminius H O Fiddywinks Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Makori, if you're unfamiliar with my characters, you can simply look at my thread labeled Arminius's RP Character(s). Also, I intend on using more than the four I showed up with. Would you allow me that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makori Posted February 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Armin: so long as you can balance them appropriately, it shouldn't be a problem. But I would like to ask that they all have at least a little bit of life/mention every other post or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clearwater Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Just a quick heads up for all of you lads; I'm heading out to Italy at the end of the week for a week and a bit. I'll try to bring my tablet along during this time and stay connected but if I can't, I'll need to temporarily drop out of the RP for a little while until I get back.
