Post subject: | A Most Interesting Predicament |
*waits for applause to die down* ... This is the RPG you've all been waiting for. And no, don't even think about not knowing what I'm talking about. Originally the pointless mass rpg I promised you for Rpersfest... only... not so pointless. Bound to be a bit random, though. Beginning Scene... for now: Random fantasy world. A tavern. On the corner of some dark, narrow alleyway. Oh, and throw in some thugs, mercenaries, and one scowling bartender. Sound familiar? Disregard the originality or lack thereof, please, because the scene's about to change very quickly. Your character has been summoned to the tavern by a missive he/she found in his/her pocket this morning. To whomever this may concern, I expect you tonight at The Gnome's Foot on Inn Street, city of Eresdor, four minutes after midnight. For your own well-being, I suggest you be there. This message is not intended to be a threat. A happy Yuletide to you, One Whose Name Is None of Your Business, Thank You Very Much Postscript - Cookies and (large) coin sacks provided at the door. Characters: One rule about characters. You MUST rp a character out of your norm. I don't care if this means creating an incompetent moron with no weapons knowledge whatsoever. Stretch your limitations! *biiiig, cooorrrrny smile* CHARACTER TEMPLATE Name: Gender: Race: Age: Profession: Weapons: Appearance: ----- LDM Name: Eyfene Nae'ri Gender: female Race: elf Age: appears little under 20 Profession: runner for elven high court; dabbling tracker Weapons: dirk; hunting knife; slingshot Appearance: hazel eyes; blond hair tied back with leather thong; forest green cloak; leather jerkin over white tunic; brown leggings; knee-length leather boots Miluiel Evenstar Name: Nendira Andanet Gender: Female Race: Human Age: 26 Profession: Huntress.

I'd say pretty much everyone has a 'norm' for their characters - the way I've been brainstorming is to list my original characters and figure out what their opposites are. For example, you might play characters aligned with good more often than characters aligned with evil, generally. I tend to play good-aligned, female characters. I'll have the occasional neutral-aligned or male character in there, but my norm is female, good, generally between the ages of 20 and 30. So out of my norm would be male, evil, and probably older than that. I'm of the opinion that everybody has a norm. You just have to find it ![]() All that to say, I'm joining. Of course. |
