IRC Based Roleplaying Game - Details Inside
Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 11:35 am
Well, guys, I'm starting up a Survival Horror/Modern Fantasy roleplay on IRC. I'm posting about it here to attract some members to play. There's a max of seven or eight Player Characters needed, so some people won't get in. Sorry, that's just how it is. I may need some people to sign up to play as NPCs and the like, too. This isn't necessary, but if you'd like to be a part of the "Cast of Thousands", just sign up here, or express an interest in doing so, if your PC gets rejected.
Anyway, onto some plot-type stuff, and character creation:
Firstly, characters submitted need to be fully fleshed out characters. The must have a full name, age, and a detailed physical description. Information on their past, friends and family, their skills and hobbies, any relationships they might have. Personality, fears, quirks. All of this is necessary. The story will be set in the decently sized town of Wainsborough. It's a fairly small-sized American/Canadian town (I won't specifically say where it is, as it's not important to the plot. Just assume generic town that's decently sized but miles away from anywhere).
A few guidelines for character creation: No military officers, preferably no police officers, although this can work if you submit a REALLY good character. Ideally, regular civilians will make the best characters, and will be more likely to be accepted. Age can range from thirteen upwards. Your character can be a person from somewhere else, who's passing through Wainsborough, but I'd prefer if at least half the PCs were people who lived in Wainsborough.
If you have any questions, post them here. Characters are to be submitted to me via PM, to limit any meta-gaming from the people who don't know how to separate OOC (Out of character) knowledge from IC (In character) knowledge.
Players:
Siber - Jason Turner
Lizzie - Victoria Aberdeen
Muug - Seolla Andrews
ChaosTheory - Ben Kasimiko
Aralonia - Marie Hawke
BoVinE - Roberts - Semi-PC
Zeron - Eric Laughlin - Dead
Cast of Thousands:
Normandy - John Faraday + assorted NPCs, if necessary.
Squishy - Assorted NPCs.
The first session will be on Thursday, at 12:00am GMT. That's 7pm on Wednesday, for those of you in Eastern USA, and 10am EST for those few of us in Australia.
