An RP set... IN MODERN TIMES? HMM?
Posted: Tue Nov 18, 2008 10:15 pm
The two RP's that have sprung up in my lifetime at Wolfire have all been set in Lugaru's time, with anthropomorphic creatures as the characters. Now here is what I'm proposing; an RP set in modern times (21st century) where all character actions are realistic. No matrix-ing, no "OLO I CARRY AROUND NUKES WITH ME", etc. I want to see if enough people respond before I start the RP. It is recommended that the weapons of your characters should be firearms and explosives. Limit of 3 weapons- a heavy weapon, a primary weapon, and a secondary weapon. Heavy weapons are things like sniper rifles and light artillery weapons. Primary weapons span battle rifles, assault rifles, carbines, and shotguns. Secondary weapons span pistols, melee weapons, and SMGs. Note, the realism thing- this is only to prevent god-mod, overly-epic-battles, etc. A rabbit rushing with a katana isn't going to get far against any kind of modern combatant. This doesn't mean you're restricted by realism- you want zombies invading? You got 'em. As long we end up having a story that explains itself in a realistic way. You can found realistic plot details on unrealistic ones- it's a very simple technique known as 'creativity'.
When describing their equipment, please provided URL'd pictures (examples in my character) of the weapons you describe. Try to keep experimental weapons like lasers and whatnot out.
So... here we go. Humans are allowed. All species are coexisting peacefully now, though there is still national conflicts. Character sheet is below.
Name: Torrin
Species: Tiger
Age: 27
Appearance: Standing about 5'11, muscular build.
Equipment:
Heavy:AR50 Sniper Rifle
Primary:Sig 550
Secondary:HKMP7.
History: A U.S. marine for 9 years, since he turned 18, he fought in the Desert Storm conflict (let's assume history is the same. Only with anthros running around.) and was on two combat tours in Iraq. He is now on leave from the Marines but he still has his custom gear waiting in his house. Lives alone.
I'll let someone else start the story. Assuming there are any replies. I made this in the spur of a "I'm-bored-so-I-should-make-something" moment.
