 Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 10:43 pm Post subject: Fucking Roleplays, how do they work? (story and Characters) |
 |
|
It is Alternia, a few months before SGrub hapens. A group of acquaintances decide that organising a FLARPing event is a lot harder than it seems, especially when you're a teenager. It's hard and no-one understands.
Face romance, miracles, shenanigans and tomfoolery as your take a majestic, graceful fucking pirouette off the deep end and land face first into a clusterfuck of awesome.

Planet:
Lusus:

Special abilities*:

Physical Description:
Biography/personality:

Example (and my character):
Name: Anomly Ourobo
Title: Thief of Hope
Age: 6 and a half Alternian Sweeps
Height: 5'11", but 6'6 with the horns
Weight: 10 Stone
Typing quirk: SShe tendss to sspeak with a certain sserpentine fluidity.
Text/blood colour: Green. (specifically "Neon Avocado(Safe Hex3)" #00FF66)
Trollian Screenname: apathyUndermined
Strife Specibus: Nailkind
Fetch Modus: Trivia (she must answer a question about the item she wants like a good, educated lady.)
Planet: Land Of Crystal And Mercury Lakes
Lusus: Snakemother
Ancestor: The Rejected (originally The Assassin)
Shirt symbol: The Ouroboros Symbol. (Reference: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/104/311810052_9c0a2f1c79.jpg )
Special abilities*: She is super sensitive to heat and movement when she closes her eyes, as learned from her Snakemother.
*e.g. Tavros' gift with animals, Sollux's ESP etc.
Physical Description: A Meta-Bourgeois child raised by a Lusus with aspirations of aristocracy, Anomly holds herself with the stature and dignity befitting of her station. She was an early developer, explaining her height and impressive figure. She is maturing to the point where her irises have very faint green edges. Two fang-like horns protrude from her head, curved and slightly serrated at the tips. Her hair is thick, long and settles around her mid back. She has a fringe over her right eye, ending halfway down her nose.
She wears fitted black trousers, tight around the bottom, then loosening into boot-cut cuffs. On her feet are calf-length wedge-heeled boots with pointed toes, and her shirt is reasonably tight-fitting, long sleeved and emblazoned with the Ouroboros logo on the front in green.
Biography/personality: Raised by a posh Snakemother, and being high class in terms of blood, Anomly has trained herself to be polite, well spoken and sophisticated. She looks down on those she deems to be lower than her, and her calm, calculating demeanour hides a sometimes cruel and vindictive streak, though she only shows this side when she's stressed.
She values her maturity, of both mind and body, and considers those less developed to be almost inferior, but ultimately all her frustration stems from her jealousy. She wishes to be free, and have the childhood she never could. These deep urges conflict with the personality she's developed, and she finds herself becoming stressed with herself fairly easily, occasionally becoming depressed or even self-loathing.
She verbally attacks herself when she's alone, and has developed a habit of biting the knuckle of her index finger when stressed that begins to border the fetishistic.
(it becomes clear why her symbol is Ouroboros.)

So, any questions, ideas, criticisms, ETC? ouo

Ahahaha Adelia would be so perfect for this kind of thing, what with all her adventuring and whimsical fuckery. Especially if Anomly's involved. Going to copy and paste her profile from the fantroll thread now, updating and editing some stuff maybe.
Name: Adelia Folett
Title: Rogue of Blood
Age: 6 Alternian Sweeps
Height: 5'1"
Weight: about 100lb (7.2 stone?)
Typing quirk: Is very excitable!!!!! Uses pr:o:per syntax which she learnt from reading Earth b:o::o:ks, and tries t:o: imitate her symb:o:l - the Kintinkantan - als:o: the shape :o:f her h:o:rns!!!!! :>w<:
Text/blood colour: Gold (specifically “semisweet chocolate2”, #E6B426)
Trollian Screenname: ubiquitousAdventurer
Strife Specibus: Blunderbusskind
Fetch Modus: Duck hunt (she has to shoot down the item she wants, like that old human video game with the self-esteem ruining dog.)
Planet: Land Of Adventure and Verdure
Lusus: Griffonmom
Ancestor: The Seeker (this is kind of shit, but it'll do for now since I'm not even sure if this is going to have any relevance in our RP, unless she uses The Seeker as her FLARP character)
Shirt symbol: Kintinkantan (African symbol of arrogance) ((http://www.adinkra.org/images/kint_lg.gif))
Special abilities: A horrendous wanderlust, I guess...? xD [[Still haven't thought this one through entirely]]
Physical Description: A young, gold-blooded meta-peasant. Short in stature and slender in build. Like the other trolls of six sweeps, she’s only just developing into a woman, and is very self conscious about her changing figure. Her hair is cut short, into a neat, boyish bob which is feathered around her face with bangs, and she dons 4 curved, rounded horns. Her normal attire consists of a black shirt donning her respective symbol, paired with her best adventuring shorts – faded beige with lots of pockets – along with some calf-high white socks and her trusty pair of brown lace-up ankle boots. (Think troll Doc Martens, if they were a thing). She sometimes tries to wear a fedora, but gets fed up by the way her horns make it dangle perilously on her head, and once it gets blown away when she fires her blunderbuss, she usually loses her temper completely. Griffonmom once made her a fedora that her horns could coexist peacefully with, but she lost it when she was scared away upon stumbling across a certain motherfucker preaching about the Dark Carnival. HoNk! :o)
Bio/personality: Adelia took an interest in the world around her from a very young age, and – due to her plucky (and sometimes foolish and naďve) nature – decided to go out and explore it herself. Her idols are Troll Indiana Jones and the mysterious Earth Adventurer Professor Harley, and she shares Tavros’ love for Pupa Pan – Griffonmom read the stories to her when she was a wriggler, and she still dreams of never having to grow up and being able to join Pupa on his adventures, exploring an entirely new world. Her views on the world are often incredibly arrogant and childlike, especially for someone of her caste - she aspires to one day become matesprits with a pretty sea dweller, and build what the humans call a “submarine” (more commonly known in Alternia as a “Glubmarine”) so she can live with them in the ocean and explore what goes on under the surface. She’s a bit of a loner, however, and there aren’t many trolls who can keep up with her boundless energy. she tends to intimidate the more introverted trolls. Her "ssuper besst pal" Anomly is the exception, of course. ;)
EDIT
Forgot to mention, are we including canonical characters in this? |

We can if we like. I mean, we'd run across them eventually.
There's no reason we can;t make this AU and have kids and god tier trolls in it, either.

Character Skeleton:
Name: Lister McColt (Renamed him)
Title: Knight of Doom
Age: 7 sweeps
Height: 5, 7
Weight: 10st, 8lbs
Typing quirk: Everything prefixes with ^v^, resemblent of thorns. Everything suffixed with -, resemblent of a break in communication. Otherwise, he types normally.
^v^ He would type something like this. -
Text/blood colour: Green.
Trollian Screenname: thornedIrony
Strife Specibus: Bulletkind. Formerly chain-gunkind, before a certain incident occured.
Fetch Modus: Caliber: He has to specify at least one of the following pieces of information about the object he wants to retreive: Length, Width, Depth, Diameter, Radius, Circumference (for circular objects) or age (in sweeps).
Planet: Land of Iron and Molten Rock.
Lusus: Antmum
Ancestor: The Guardian
Shirt symbol: Thistle
Special abilities: Perfectly ambidextrous
Physical Description: Large build. His horns protrude out of the side of the head, curling forward. However, his left horn is shattered to little more than a stump. Missing a tooth at the right rear upper jaw that is only visible when smiling. Appears larger than he actually is as his hive always wear armour underneath their clothes.. His hair is reasonably long, tied into a single tail. He generally wears baggy trousers and his shirt, but still appears bottom heavy despite the armour.
Bio/personality: Allister has a monumental interest in guns and ammunition. Although his hive is hugely militaristic, and every troll there owns at least three guns, Allister had all of his confiscated after an incident at a firing range destroyed the back of the hive. Allister is fiercely loyal to any troll whose bloodcaste is similar to or identical to his own- He will get on with anyone between (and including) low class and high class. However, he loathes anyone outside these two brackets.
Allister is self preservent, almost to the point of being a hypochondriac. However, such attitude is encouraged in his hive.
Allister is scared to death of ants, which presents serious problems in his hive.

I still don't understand is there any canonical character involvement or what?
If someone makes a starting post I can probably work with it. |

There can be with pesterlogs and such.
I'm neutral to anyone wanting to RP as any. What are your opinions?

Same. There wouldn't be any canonical character involvement at this stage, anyway, so I guess we could start it and have them pop in later if we choose.
Needless to say, I call GammyGamz

| That's true. I want to call Aradia, but if anyone else really can't stand not being Aradia then I could branch out a bit. Reluctantly. xD |

Considering how Phil'd probably want Nepeta or Feferi, I think you're safe. xD

I think I'll call Feferi for canon characters.
And here's my OC, posted over from the other topic for convenience:
Name: Makani Renide
Title: Sylph of Heart
Age: 6 Alternian Sweeps
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 117 lbs
Typing quirk: talks succinctly... no capitals or punctuation... ellipses end all sentences... close with an emoticon... 
Text/blood colour: types in a very pale, hard to read blue (#F0F8FF); this is actually more or less her blood color, though no one really knows as much.
Trollian Screenname: unsolicitedCupcake
Strife Specibus: axekind. The more oversized and impractical the better.
Fetch Modus: Reversal. She can only retrieve the item in her modus least useful and pertinent to the current situation.
Planet: Land of Cakes and Undead.
Lusus: Bearius T. Snuggleface (who is a gigantic Teddy Bear shaped creature with a ridiculous smile on his face at all times).
Ancestor: The Abnormal
Shirt symbol: A hand drawn smiley face.
Special abilities: She's quite a bit stronger than she looks.
Physical Description: A nondescript troll girl of relatively average height and average built. A bit of a paler gray than usual. Has very short, round horns, kind of further toward the back of her head then is usual. Her hair is very long, going almost all the way down her back, and is kept straight. She wears rectangular framed glasses. She wears a homemade t-shirt with a crudely painted smiley face on it, and usually a short skirt.
Biography/personality: Makani had a fairly unassuming upbringing in a cold, mountainous region of Alternia. Her Lusus was the epitome of easy going and pretty much let her do whatever the hell she wanted. The young troll's great freedom led to her developing into something of an eccentric.
Even amongst those closest to her, she is somewhat hard to place. She is very quiet, speaks with little infliction and rarely seems to outwardly display any noticeable emotion, all the while constantly wearing a somewhat unnerving smile on her face. Much of this is part of Makani's warped, never ceasing sense of humor. She seems to enjoy confusing the hell out of everyone she knows by saying and doing things completely out of place and inappropriate instead of what is expected of her, often to the point of leaving them frustrated. Usually this is not out of malice, but rather simply how she is. She delights in the unusual, impractical and ironic.
Makani is a highblood, though she's made considerable efforts to respond with a different answer every single time she's been asked the color of her blood and to never bleed in public, so few trolls know this. She really doesn't care about blood color though. It's just a silly game to her.
Further details:
Interests:
Your name is MAKANI RENIDE.
You are strangely obsessed with PASTRIES OF ALL VARIETIES. You enjoy cultivating FRUIT and then carving it into ANIMAL SHAPES for NO PARTICULAR REASON. You are an avid fan of FILMS STARING TERRIBLE COMEDIANS and enjoy laughing at them FAR LOUDER THAN IS APPROPRIATE. You also, on occasion, partake in various means of ROLEPLAYING with your friends.
You are keenly focused on DEFYING LOGIC whenever possible, and LOOKING GOOD as you do it. You have a fixation on LARGE BLADES that you cannot explain. In your spare time, you create ABSTRACT ART that, to you, is DEVOID OF MEANING. You are a firm believer in the importance of SMILING, so you NEVER STOP.
Your trolltag is unsolicitedCupcake and you dont say much...

Awesomeness! As the roleplay needs to start with someone who wants to FLARP trying to convince the other players it will be fun, who do you think should start?
