Alcatraz RP anyone?

Looks like we're going to have a lot of Smedrys :P 

 

I was planning on having two Smedrys, one oculator and the other not, but seeing that they are so popular, I'll pass on the not-oculator.

 

So the Smeadry I have in mind is Tenteron Smedry - a fine gentleman in his thirties, an oculator. His talent is missing things. It usually activates near doors causing him to more than occasionally bump into door frames etc. Other used: missing the bullet that someone shoots at him or when he's locked up behind bars, he sometimes can walk through them, just missing them in his way out... I think there are many more interesting uses for his talent to miss things.

 

Idea for some other Smedry:

A talent to doodle. Person having this talent is a compulsive doodler and the things he/she doodles appear in reality. This is a bit similar to Aydee's talent, as this talent does not create things out of nothing, it just replaces them from somewhere. So, if you doodle something that does not exist, it won't appear. However, do a small doodle of an ostrich while you are siting on a toilet and BAM! there is an ostrich in you privy :P

Well, I still want to do it, but first I want to refresh my memory of the world by rereading... however, if you are all eager to start I can propose some basic rules, the first post and we're ready to go :) Then, I'd just reread during the game.

I'm still in.

My character's name is Elmina Smedry. She is an oculator, but is not good at it, except for her pair of winstormers lenses, which she has practiced for years and is very attached to them. Her talent is singing really off key, like, by singing, she can shatter glass and cause people to go temporarily deaf.

If we have to many Smedrys, than I would be perfectly fine with changing her to a crystin. What ever works. :)

Ok, so let's start official preparations :)

 

Honor Spren and I have already described our Smedry characters. I think that everyone else, who wants to play a Smedry should write down what Talent they'll have. I think we should put a hard limit on Smedrys, so there won't be more than 10 or something like that, what do you think?

 

Except for Tenteron, I'm planning on playing:

Victor Sembroy - A Hushlander, IT specialist/hacker/journalist investigating the dig site where the artifact got uncovered.

Julia Verana - A young Dark Oculator, trying to get to the artifact too.

and

William McBookintosh - Boss of the company that dug out the artifact and is currently guarding the dig site. He's an ex-Librarian from the Order of the Shattered Lens. He knows Silimatics very well and is an expert in creating primitive technology that can counter it.  

 

So yeah, 4 characters... That's a lot, but I want to be present on every side of the conflict :P If I won't be able to handle it, I'll drop some of them or give them away.

 

Everyone, please share your characters. I'll start the RP sometime this week in another topic, and we'll leave this one for planning and discussion. By the end of tomorrow I should have a post ready, where I explain the setting and background and talk about some other things that I might find important :)

 

 

EDIT: Honor Spren - I like this singing talent, very versatile :)

So, for now, I've counted 4 people interested in having a Smedry character (me, Honor Spren, WayneSpren and Surgebound Rainspren) and for now, we have 2 librarian characters planned (Winter Cloud and me). 

 

I guess, that Winter is right, 10 Smedries would be too many. However, for now, we have an acceptable number of them I guess with place for maybe one more. We definitely have place for more Librarians :)

 

Ok, I guess I'll get back to work, so I'll be able to post proposed rules by the end of the day.

Kerry Righter:

Backround: Kerry was born in the Free Kingdoms and moved around a lot as a child, eventually settiling in the lands of the Crystins. She wanted to become a glass fighter pilot, but her father disagreed. He eventuallly relented when Kerry was 13. Just about then, she met a young Knight of Crystin named Max. Max and Kerry devolped a strong friendship.

Now: Kerry is 17 now, and a very accomplished pilot. She flys a falcon. Max is a Knight of Crystin now.

Personality: Kerry is stubborn but loyal and nice.

For some reason, I found it amusing that besides you, all of our Smedrys are spren. . .

I could definitely do a librarian character, but it would have to be a girl, because I am really awful at guys.

So, to sum things up again, before we start writing. Here's the setup:

1. We play in Alcatraz world, but a year or two before Alcatraz turns 13. That way we know more or less what the global situation is.

2. The main action will take place in a Hushland city, although for now, without specifying what city that is. That will leave us with place for creativity, but if we decide we should pick a place, then we'll do so.

3. There are actually four fractions: Free Kingdomers, The Librarians (although, as there are 4 rivaling orders they might not work together too well), BookTech Corp. and normal people.

4. The basic story: BookTech dig up an anciet Silimatic artifact, that caused the people that were near it to disappear. This artifact is always visible using Oculator Lenses, no matter how far you are. If you are far away it looks like a bright star, shining through walls, earth or whatever is on the way. Free Kindgomers and Librarians want to capture the artifact to study it and so on. BookTech wants it to study it and make money out of it. Normal people will get entangled in this eventually in different ways :)

 

 

Now, for some rules:

1. We'll be playing in Free-Play style, which means that there are hardly any rules :P

2. You cannot take control of other players characters. If you want to write an interaction scene - use private messages to do it together.

3. When there is a fight and those taking part in it can't come to an agreement on who should win, we will discuss and try to agree on something together.

4. Don't kill other player's characters without their permission. Although, since it's Alcatraz world I think there won't be that much killing.

5. If you want to join, introduce yourself and your character in the discussion topic.

6. Anyone can play on any side they want. Multiple characters per player are allowed, as long as you can handle them.

7. There is a limit on the amount of Smedries in the game. Before you create a new Smedry, let's talk about it in the discussion topic.

8. There are no "winning conditions" we keep on playing until we decide that we're done :)

 

 

 

 

What do you think?

Sounds good to me.

My librarian's name is Kirk Jufell. She is a fairly normal librarian. A Warden of the Standard, she knows how to passably use a sword, Her real reason for being a librarian is just to read books, and she is uncomfortable with some of the things her sect does.

This is actually going to be my first online RP. Hype level is increasing...

 

My character is Fillian Smedry, a cousin to the main line. He has some experience researching the Hushlands, but hasn't gone on any real missions. He sometimes relates to the librarians, because he likes things to be organized too. Sometimes he has conflicting feelings about what side he should be on.

 

His Smedry Talent is to be really bad at holding/carrying things. He drops all kinds of things - on his back, hands, and everywhere else. This is a blessing, however, when someone tries to strap the odd torture device to him or he really needs a projectile.

 

He uses Oculators lenses frequently and was intrigued when this new Silimatic artifact started sending out Oculatory signals. He wants to investigate and do something important.

Hey everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. A lot has come up and I had trouble finding some time to write. I'm currently halfway done with the opening post and I promise it'll be ready tomorrow :) So get ready to introduce your characters ;)
