Role Play

[Lotus Wolf]

OK guys, lets start a new RP since the last one was dubbed Dead. I also need something interesting to do while this winter storm blows over.

First Rule: There is no story set for an RP, it goes the way everyone writes it. (So no one can set a storyline for this RP, we'll go with the flow.)

Second: Keep posts fair, no god-mode!

Third: If you must have supernatural powers, they have to be compensated for by other traits. (can we just stay away from these? they complicate things to much IMO.)

Fourth: Don't control other characters extensively. I'd prefer that dialog be spread out through a dozen posts for one conversation, than one person controlling all characters participating in the dialog. small, trifling, things are fine, like: "Hello" so-and-so said. "Greetings" He-or-She replied. (you get the idea... right?)

Fifth: No random BS, we need to keep the story going, so try not to ruin the whole thing.

Sixth: People get hurt, maybe die, so if you participate in a battle, you're unlikely to escape it without a scratch.

Seventh: If you join up for this, you are expected to continue posting, nurturing your characters part in the story. if you lose interest, give your character an epic death that puts the story forward somehow. (just a suggestion...)

anyway, character sheet:

Name:
Species: (you can be any quadrupedal animal)
Age:
Gender: (Male or Female)
Appearance:
Weapons: (up to 3)
Clothes: (armor should be stated as well)
Personality:
Abilities of note: (don't go to far with this)
Background:

OK? OK.

I'll create a character sheet after we get a few people.
no guns, this RP will be set between Lugaru and Overgrowth.

[Lotus Wolf]

sounds good, we still need more people before we start though.

C'mon guys! lets go!

Edit: well i might as well make my character now...

Name: Ruathar

Species: Komodo Dragon

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Appearance: Smoothly covered in hard green scales which he polishes often. Long tail, short spines travel from the back of his neck along his spine to a few inches above the tip of his tail. Sharp needle-like teeth, and short claws on hands and feet. Long toes. Pupils are thin slits.

Weapons: Natural claws and teeth, Greatsword with ivory insets, set of throwing knives.

Clothes: Hardened chain mail short sleeved shirt, each link wrapped in leather for stealth. Slightly baggy cargo pants. Wrist, knuckle and ankle wraps.

Personality: Very insistent, yet strangely detached. Can be very friendly one moment and icy cold the next. the attitudes of those around him effect his disposition, and demeanor.

Abilities of note: Infectious saliva.

Background: His strange nature has lead him away from large cities, and he loathes to be around large numbers of people. He roams around, doing things his own way, and sometimes visiting a tavern to have a cold drink. His past is a mystery even to him, he has no recollection of his family, friends, anything... his first memory is of a white sandy beach, the water lapping around his body, and a feral dog licking his face.

[Ragdollmaster]

Name: Anther
Species: Puma
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: About 5'6", weighs about 120lbs. Gold eyes, tan fur, white undercoat. Looks like this.
Weapons: Iron broadsword and a crossbow.
Natural Weapons: Fangs and claws.
Clothes: Padded armor (layers of steel surrounded with a leather hide and then padded over with light cloth) over a torso piece of leather-covered chain mail, baggy cargo shorts.
Personality: Open, dry-humored, friendly, slight temper issues. (As in, if you get her angry, you'll probably end up with your face hanging off.)
Abilities of note: Can run at high speeds and has a high muscular endurance rate.
Background: Grew up in a small pride of Pumas (AKA mountain lions, cougars, or panthers) and left at around the age of 6, as is customary with many big cat tribes, to seek to start her own tribe. Unsuccessful at initially finding a mate, she became a kind of wanderer but was always happy to aid other prides. She would sometimes temporarily join a pride before continuing on her way, making her used to being alone but at the same time very sociable and adapted to the company of others.

3 characters... we could start now, but i think we should wait for at least one more person.

Edit: OK, i gave it a day, so lets start the story and hope more people join.

Ruathar walked up over a small crest and saw a small town at the bottom of the hill. He decided he wanted a drink... well he actually decided he'd give socializing a chance after so long. He descended into the town and walked the streets glancing at windows of shops. He found a tavern and entered it, finding a few patrons, all quietly withdrawn. He seated himself in a corner and took a sip from a dark flask. The bartender was away for the moment, and the other patrons were silent. This is interesting... Ruathar thought to himself.

[Endorgan]

Name: Harvey

Species: Chinchilla (Its real, look it up )

Age: 30 (Human life-span right?)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Gray fur covers his body and his tail has been sliced in half.

Weapons: Greatsword

Clothes: Wears silk clothing under specifically fitted full-plate armor forged with steel and a helmet with a visor.

Personality: Usually avoids people but sometimes makes friends as he roams the country side. Never truly felt alive unless he was fighting even though most chinchillas avoid conflict all together.

Background: Served in the royal chinchilla army after completing years of training with the king's right-hand man however a civil war broke out in the chinchilla nation and the king's right-hand man sided against the king. In the glorious battle that ensued, Harvey lost his tail and the king was overthrown, what was left of the royal army fled with Harvey and they watched in horror as a pack of wolves attacked the kingdom while it was in it's state of chaos, all was lost. Of who survived the war, only Harvey still wears the symbol of the royal army with pride, as he wanders aimlessly, looking for a battle to fight and a king to protect.

[Endorgan]

Harvey was just sipping some tea when the room went silent. He saw the bartender start shaking vigorously before falling to the floor behind the counter. Whats going on here? he thought as he looked around. Soon he found the source of the patrons' uneasiness as he looked out the front window, a large lizard-like creature was slowly making its way to the door. What do these people have against lizards? he wondered, but just to be sure that he would be prepared if things got ugly, he moved his greatsword to a more accessible location. When the silhouette reached the door the room stopped breathing, after a few seconds the patrons were gasping for air as they were unprepared for the sudden lack of oxygen. Harvey eyed the doorknob as it turned and the door clicked open. When the komodo dragon stepped through the door the room started to breath again but everyone stayed silent. The komodo made it's way to the corner of the bar and it started sipping from a dark flask it had brought with it. The bartender did not get back up.

[Ragdollmaster]

Endorgan- Lotus had his character already enter and he already portrayed how he wanted the bar patrons to react... read a bit more carefully before posting next time, k



Anther drank from a glass of cold wine as a Komodo entered the pub and sat down not too far away. He looked fairly young and took out a dark flask that he began drinking from. Anther smiled a little as she drank some more. Finally someone with a bit of life in them... everyone else in this tavern is so quiet. she thought to herself.

Sorry, i haven't done this before so I'm gonna have goof-ups.

[Ragdollmaster]

Yeah, it doesn't really matter so early on in the story, but just keep this simple rule in mind- don't overplay anyone else's character's actions or the reactions they cause from the RP world, especially if their character doesn't usually act a certain way. Don't worry about it though.

(why does it seem as tough we ALL WAYS meet in a bar or a inn? )

Russano walked slowly tough the town looking for a inn or a tavern. "this will do." he thought and walked in to the bar. the most interesting thing was a Komodo Dragon in the corner. and a strangely dressed Chinchilla sitting roughly in the middle of the bar. a rabbit glanced surprised at the size of the badger walking by. he sat down at the bar and the chair made a small cracking noise. he grimaced thinking of the last time a chair broke while he was in a bar. he ordered a beer from one of the patrons. and hunched over putting must of his wight on the bar so the chair didn't break.

[Count Roland]

well I was gonna create a new (and rather serious) character for this but my imagination keeps running out so I'll use Ogier. later. I don't feel like doing much right now.

[Lotus Wolf]

Ruathar watched the door open, and a badger walked in. Don't see those very often... Ruathar looked at his claws, then to the bar. Where's the bartender? "Barkeep!" Ruathar called. there was no answer. when he had spoken a few of the patrons had cringed, making Ruathar somewhat self conscious of his species. Ruathar noticed a chinchilla and a puma who hadn't cringed and marked their faces. He stood and over to the bar counter, finding the Barkeeper on the floor. he quickly walked around the bar and checked the barkeeper's pulse. It beat normally, but the man was in a coma. Did no one see, or care, that he fell over? Ruathar stood up. "Anyone know acute acupuncture?" He asked, and when he received a confused stare from many of the patrons he continued. "Anyone have a needle, or extra thin blade?"

JJ: meeting in the bar (i believe) is a very classic way to start RP's and other such games.

...

From the Taverns downstairs celler a rugged old Feline made his way up. his hands coverd in a fist full of blood. He looked as if he was in the mood to make another monument of his handy work. His Leather sash had studds sticking out, they were coated in a thin layer of blood.
With a curl of his lip he looked around. clearly there was someone he was interested gutting, or be heading or, what ever went on down there, there was a Komodo Dragon behind the counter with the barkeeper, and a few cowering patrons. He walked in further the audeal.

"A Komodo Dragon... your a long way from home mate... and I dont think you got any back up i cant handle" The Tiger must think the Komodo Dragons here trying to hold up the bar. He stated "I advise you get out from behind there and find somewhere else to plunder and loot!" clearly not happy about what he thinks he is doing.

(A few missunderstandings to make life a bit interesting)

[Lotus Wolf]

Ruathar had stood up when the tiger addressed him, now his eyes met the tiger's with a cold fire that emerged when he felt conflict was near. "What business do you have with me? And what do you mean by 'plunder and loot'?" Ruathar asked. The spines on his back began to stand up as the tiger drew breath to reply.
