CYO Fanfic RPG: SignUp & OOC Discussion

Dear Lancers Reactor Fanfic community!

Here's an idea I've been toying with - all feedback welcomed.

The (Draft) Rules:

Each forum member controls one character or with permission, 2+ members can
They can write as much / little as they want (within reason).
If other characters are involved in the post, please be considerate to their response (i.e.; don't write them into doing a series of actions - give them a chance to respond).
Anything written must not be derogatory or inflammatory to any forum member, nor break the rules set by the Lancers Reactor mods.
The mods have ultimate admin power over the thread.

Each member can write about their character however they wish.
They may also involve other characters in dialogue or events that would be faithful to the other character's personality / ethos / objectives!
They may also involve known Freelancer factions.
Each member should role-play (IC) as much as possible and encourage other members to role-play too.
Any OOC posting should be headed: OOC < message >, otherwise any post is considered In Character.

The universe and backdrop will be the 'vanilla' Freelancer universe.
No mods, custom ships or technology other than what's available in the original Freelancer are permitted.

As 'game' originator, I reserve the right to um. Be omnipotent! Just kidding.
Should characters get involved in combat with each other, I will toss a coin and post who the victor is OOC.
The members responsible get to tell the story on how that victory / loss is concluded, and what the terms of victory are..

Last Rule. Please, have fun

As I said above, all feedback is welcome - let's open this up and have a fab time!

Athena

Ps: This is a discussion on how this thing should work, not a sign-up thread (yet)!

About time someone tryed to bring back the Rpgs like they were and started off as.
I was thinking of doing a "real Rpg" as well but I don't think it will go to well.

Um. Anyway just a surgesten. Maybe you should use the plot from your own fanfic. People I would belive would want to be part of the story that you have being writing.

And one more thing.......
How long will it be to the next chapter for you fanfic.

Post Thu Feb 10, 2005 3:58 pm

Post Thu Feb 10, 2005 4:32 pm

Yes. It's drawing to a conclusion. *sigh*

Give it a week or so and I'll get the ball rolling on the RPG - I have an idea!

Post Sat Feb 19, 2005 4:43 am

Should we start making our chararters now or not just to save the hassle of doing it later or what.

Post Sun Feb 20, 2005 2:33 am

i dont see why not

We could've been a good couple, we coulda had somethin' special; but you one crazy-ass *****!

Hi everyone - sorry been really busy lately.

Just a couple of things. I'll be 'starting' the RPG on March 1st 2005.

There's no limitations on number of characters involved, just that any posts tie in somehow / eventually to those posted previously.

The ideal scenario would be a full, working scenario with all parties involved with one another!! (I know, I'm pushing it lol )

Do take another read of the Guidelines in my first post. They're not exhaustive, but they're there

Finally, yes. Please do make up your characters and I highly recommend using the following format !


Name
Alias (if any - could also be a handle, or callsign etc)
Age (this is how old your character appears, not necessarily natural age)
Faction (if you want your character to be tied to a particular faction
Appearance (brief description
Occupation

Bio (optional)
Please feel free to include a brief bio of your character. This is what might be commonly known of your character (even today, simple searches can reveal a great deal of information about someone).


Example:

Tanya Wiliams
Alias: Tanya Ramirez
Age: 25
Faction: Freelance
Appearance: Athletic build, shoulder-length dark brown hair, green eyes
Occupation: Freelance trader / Freelance convoy escort

Bio (optional)
Tanya Williams was raised in Bretonia, studied at Cambridge Research Facility and recently deployed on assignment to Luxury Liner Hawaii working for Orbital Spa & Cruise. She is now a freelancer.
