A New IRC Based RPG - ACCEPTING NEW PLAYERS
Posted: Tue Oct 28, 2008 4:00 pm
Well, guys, I'm starting up yet another Survival Horror/Modern Fantasy roleplay on IRC. I'm posting about it here to attract some members to play. I'm not setting any limits on the number of people I'll allow in, so sign up if you want.
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, two years after the original RP. 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 - Roxanna McClane
Aralonia - Marie Hawke
<s>DoubleThink - Adi Klausmann</s> - DEADER THAN ELVIS
<s>BoVinE - Bryce Morrow</s> - DEADER THAN THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Muug - Seolla Andrews
<s>Lightstriker - Noah Selzer</s> - DEADER THAN DISCO
<s>Swamp Fox - John Millson</s> - SO DEAD THAT HE MAKES CORPSES LOOK LIVELY.
Non-player Characters of Note:
Michelle, Seolla's best friend. -- Controlled by me.
Danielle, Miri's clone -- Controlled by me.
Trent Winterbourne -- Controlled by Aralonia
Other positions will be available, if anyone wants to take the reigns of some recurring or regular NPCs.
The first session will be on Friday, at 12:00am GMT. That's 7pm on Thursday, for those of you in Eastern USA, and 11am DST for those few of us in Australia.
So that's:
American EST: 7pm Thursday, 30th of October.
Australian DST: 11am Friday, 31st of October.
GMT: 11pm Thursday, 30th of October.
Remember, this will be a Survival Horror RP set in the modern day. So human characters only, thanks. If you have any questions, you can come onto IRC and join #Wainsborough on irc.rizon.net
