SIGN-UPS ARE CLOSED, AND THE RP BEGUN! This thread is now the OOC thread of the RP.

The thread is here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=583317)

Sustained for archival purposes only:

Haiya! This is the sign-up/OOC thread for a little RP I'm planning called "Crashing Prom Night."

The storyline is pretty simple. Sandy Bridges University, a university within Perimeter Defense, is having its prom night. The University is located in the District of Hibernia, which is on PD's border regions, and it has a lot of exchange students, so this can explain a multinational student body (you can be from any nation and join in). This is basically the extent of the first third or so of the RP. In general, it's about building and set-up of the participants' characters and relationships. Romances, rivalries, etc, will all factor in.

The big story change happens during one of the slow dance routines. Everyone's all mellow and smooth, when suddenly the lights go out. No one panics, but people are suspicious; when deep booms and crackling reports begin arising from outside, they start taking cover immediately. Perimeter Defense society has a high level of military training (by the age of fifteen you're expected to be proficient in urban combat with military weapons) and so the first instinct is to go to the armory in the basement of the school's basement (so yeah, B2.)

But they're not there to hide; they're there to get weapons and fend off the invaders. There are a LOT of weapons, ranging from SRAWs to M107's, and enough ammunition to sustain a squad throughout a war.

What happens next will be dictated by participants' actions as a group. The results of little skirmishes will be played out over OOC, and maybe we can even introduce a second set of characters per participant - i.e. perhaps each RPer can have an invader character and a student character. BTW, the invaders' identities will be revealed as soon as they come out. (in other words I'm still thinking about who they'll be; any ideas? Fictional Bigtopians, or perhaps someone wants to be an invader?)

Character relationships as the fights go on will be very important to how this advances. The volatile nature of adolescent behavior should contribute to internal conflict, battles for leadership, disagreements, and hot love scenes (maybe). We can have traumatizing character injuries, declarations of love, "I don't wanna die a virgin," etc. Remember, of course, that your main character will always be a student participating in the prom. You may or may not have a partner, and that partner may or may not be another participant.

Each character should be distinct in weapons preference, social status, personality, etc. My character is Sarah Allendale, brunette, semi-popular, disgruntled Soph's Night "Girl of the Night" candidate reject, and closet nerd (video games, astronomy, military tech). She's talkative but often goes on saying very little. In her mandatory military training, she took a liking to the HK G36K carbine (other G36 variants were too heavy for her), and actually keeps hers at home. This weapon is what she'll take from the armory later in the RP. She hates all AT weapons and won't be bothered with them unless faced with the defense of her life. She is more of a follower than a leader, but she'll take a stand against snobby SOB "leaders."

This format can be what you'll use, or you can enumerate with bullet points and stuff as you sign up. Oh, and please provide ideas if you have any; as long as the basic premise of Prom Night and Student Resistance stay in motion, this game will continue.

Thanks for reading, and hope I've piqued your interest!

ADDENDA:

Remember, unless you bring a change of clothes, or have some stuff in a locker, you're going to be doing battle in whatever you wore to prom. So be sure to describe your stuff reasonably!

If no one vies for the position of prom queen within the course of this sign-up thread, my real-life self will appear as a character and take it.

i don't understand why you moved this...

It was suggested by some people in the IRC channel.

'cause of the many II n00bs and godmodders? This RP idea seems very interesting. Concider this as a provisional sign-up.

How about a foreign exchange instructor?

It was suggested by some people in the IRC channel.
Ah, I see. Well, count me in.

name: Marcus Stugenov
Age: 14
Physical description: http://media.photobucket.com/image/geass%20cosplay/TsukiChristina/Cosplay/Code_Geass_Lelouch_2_by_omiyalotus.jpg
Personality: The 'underachiever' of the Stugenov family, he is only member of the industrious family that hasn't been at the top of his class or a star athlete. He's also considered the 'rebellious' one and has absolutely not interest in becoming part of the family business (they own and operate General Energies Heavy Industries).
Talents/Hobbies: Marcus is a black belt in karate, as well as a 5th Godan in Aikido. He is also captain of his old school's fencing team. For firearms, he has been trained to use the M4 carbine and Sig P226. For hobbies, Marcus reads literature; his favorite book is Catcher in the Rye.


btw: what's AT stand for..?

I'm trying to think of meself back in high school at Prom age...lessee, junior year I woulda been 17, senior year 18...damn. The last thing any sane human being would have done at that time was give me any sort of military training and fully automatic weaponry. Of course I also take great issue with the general concept of teenage soldiers. But thats just OOC, right? I'll contemplate a character, see if I'm capable of putting something together.

To Nether: Yes, I suppose...and great! Welcome to the game!

To MO:

The Grand Unified Federation of Perimeter Defense has seen a lot of progress with its heavily militaristic society. I mean, who wouldn't want to live in a world where citizens are allowed - nay, encouraged to bring their weapons all around? Walk into a mall and ogle at the lovely teenage beauties...and the L85's slung over their shoulders.

And hey, they're not teenage soldiers. They're just trained so that back home, during emergencies there won't be any issues with panicky people. Oh, and of course, the militia part...it's hard to sustain an occupation wherein your target nation has no noncombatants...^_^

If you want, you can just be a minor transferee and say in your character profile that you shot a few guns on the range back home, so you can defend yourself well here. Combat proficiency is not actually necessary, unless you want to become an excessively big hitter in the major firefights later on.

Finally, AT means antitank.

To FUS: He's 14 years old? Wao. You're in, though!

To A&H: That's a good idea, although try to keep 'im or 'er young and relatable to the students. That's the angle we're going for anyway.

Ah, addendum!

Remember, unless you bring a change of clothes, or have some stuff in a locker, you're going to be doing battle in whatever you wore to prom. So be sure to describe your stuff reasonably!

Miri Hawke, resident insane, loud, and obnoxious... girl. Thingy.

And please don't say anything around her that could be considered offensive to her... how do I put this? Uhh... Don't tell her that she has the general bodily form resemblance to an overused washboard, okay?

Welcome to the game, Ara! Your character looks like a...*nice* introduction into this little RP.

ADDENDUM: If no one vies for the position of prom queen within the course of this sign-up thread, my real-life self will appear as a character and take it.

I would think the availability of clothing changes would be high. Given the stated potential classroom scheduling, it seems entirely likely one would have summer (indoor) and winter (outdoor) weight gym clothing at a minimum. Additionally, given the training requirements for students eligible for actual militia membership upon graduation, it seems likely that BDUs would be standard gear during gym class on a semi-regular basis, along with the possibility of other tactical gear (Helmets, Tac/Flak vests, etc).

Additionally, a highly militarized society might have uniform of the day requirements for school that have nothing to do with blazers and short pleated plaid skirts. This could have a decided impact on at least male prom wear.

Given the high level of weapon and ammo storage mentioned, this level of military preparedness seems likely. And despite the 'University' name, I'm assuming this to be more along the lines of a high school age group. Possibly a private prep school?

All these would factor in what we'd expect from the students when the fecal matter intersects the rotary impeller device.

The private universities in PD often include high schools, grade schools and such. The high school in question here is actually a large section of campus devoted entirely to secondary school functions.

The average citizen is not trained to be a member of the official militia - just given a certain level of training sufficient to handle oneself during an emergency situation before the actual National Guard units and local military take action, and after a theoretical case wherein these units are defeated. Besides, if a civvy group is trapped by attackers in such a building, they can shoot back and coordinate without the disarray that would be associated with their kind in any other place. Note that military coverage across the nation is very dense. Also, the expected survivability of a citizen is not high at all, but if ever someone decides to do evil things to the homeland, they'd better watch out for the businessman with an AT4.

There is a uniform standard for males and females, although this only applies to the grade schools and high schools, and it's not really themed in with the military aspect. The uniform is mostly reserved for, again, the actual militia units and military. There can be psychological issues with everyone walking around in combat wear, more so than with held weapons that are actually societal fashion statements. One such fashion statement, in the women's arena, is the strapping of a certain shape of magazine to one's thigh. Favorites include STANAG and Beta C-Mag drums. In the case of military apparel and armor in noncombat situations, though, they're just unsightly and morale-reducing to our populace. Oh, but they do have the extreme opposite effect during war, where bloodthirsty civilians will typically take up arms alongside the MARPAT, inspired by the appearance of big men and women with big guns in big clothes.

Solely violent affairs are to be found in II, but with a little tweaking of characters and enough dialogue, one can recategorize.

works for me :) I think it may take a little bit of re-tooling to RP in this forum.

about the prom queen, is there a slot open for the prom king, then? If so, I'd like my char as a candidate for it.

dose the armory have any FN FALs in it?

Oh dear, real franc-tireurs. Lovely.

Marvin Blackwell
Height 6'2"
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Grey

Marvin Blackwell is the youngest child of the Blackwell family of Hubris. And the Blackwell's are well known in their little neck of the woods for owning both a major stake in Quincy Motors (Has never been big in the export market except to England and Knotoss) and owning outright Blackwell Motors that specializes in boutique manufactured cars, race vehicles, and diesel ship engines.

In such a family one would expect a young man to be interested in cars. Marvin became interested in super-critical fusion physics and theoretical physics. So after graduating Mangna Cum Laude, from Torrhall University in the United Duchies, doing a standard three year stint in the Navy. (As required by law) then went to Cambridge. He is a recent hire at the University to strengthen the physics department.

Being an nontenured professor, he gets the crap assignments like being a chaperon at the Prom. Being young and single, he has his eyes on a few beguiling coeds.

Currently he is dressed in an dark grey jacket from Saville road, matching grey pants and a blue oxford shirt, no tie. He is 'too cool' for a tie.

Oh, and he sounds as though he is from South Africa (although he is from the United Duchies which has an equal penchant for violence, even deadlier wildlife than Australia, and a decidedly paranoid view of foreigners)

Name: Eden Knight
Age: 18
Height: 5’ 8”
Hair: Natural blonde
Eyes: Blue
Weapon: FN SCAR-L CQC

Notes:

Eden is the only daughter of a wealthy titled Tartarian, (her daddy’ princess) which basically means she is used to getting her own way and has her own credit card. She is a grade ‘A’ student, captain of the Cheerleading team and very popular. She will also be a candidate for Prom Queen.

Because she is her Daddy’s princess, she persuaded her father to send her to a school that she would have access to doing things that ladies are frowned upon doing in Tartarus. And despite her persona, she enjoys being able to do the things that her brothers take for granted at home.

Girlfriend of Charles Waterstone.

(Very loose background, more will be revealed in the actual RP)

Name: Charles Kenneth Waterstone
Age: 18
Height: 6'1"
Hair: Dark Brown, cut in high and tight style
Eyes: Grey
Preferred LRC Weapon: M110 SASS
Preferred CQC Weapon: Benelli M4 Super 90 Semi-Auto Shotgun

Closest Living Relatives:
Andrew Waterstone (Father)
Martha Waterstone (Mother)

Place of Birth: Winterpeak, Barony of Waterstone, Tartarus

GPA: 3.25
Class Preferences: Biology, Chemistry
Extracurriculars: Swim Team, Captain, Track and Field, Co-Captain

Notes: Applied to Sandy Bridges University Preparatory School after denied application to Palo Alto Military Academy in Tartarus. Given reason was insufficient preparation, suspects reason has more to do with not being a senior enough family. A member of a cadet branch of the Waterstone family, Charles is first cousin once removed to the current Baron. Despite not being of noble birth, comes from wealth.

Posting on behalf of Modern Outlaws - just got a call from him, and he got a tornado up his alley and has asked me to register his intent to join.

He should be back on line quickly though

And as some one who posts in both forums, to say that II is the sole home to violence and rabid gun play is a mischaracterization of both NS and II. I have written violence in both...

you people are so simple with your character profiles. :P Ah, Miri...

Great character profiles for everyone, though I expect you're all just skimmin' the surfaces of your students. I can't wait to see the sort of dialogue that'll be thrown around! :D

FUS, for purposes of this RP, any gun made after 1930 can be found in the armory. The older the weapon, though, the more scarce the ammunition. Aralonia's Hawke is carrying a Kar98 and she keeps this and its 7.92mm rounds in her locker. Also, FOS, I had not thought about prom king yet; looks like I was too focused on the more unusually appropriate prom queen. You're in for the candidacy. Anyone else who wants to be such?

Also, we have "Stag of the Night" later on.

neh, I just use cosplayers for all my chars.

Ok, here’s my character.


Name: Kenji de Wit
Age: 19
Physical appearance: 1,69m (5’5“), East Asian appearance, slim, black hair, brown eyes, left handed. He’s physically not really impressive and wouldn’t be called handsome by most people. He isn’t much of an ugly person either, just average. He is, however, quite loud and is therefore notices when in groups.
Biography: Kenji was born in a country that is unknown by this point. He was adopted after a short time and raised in Nethertopia by his foster parents, the family De Wit. Both his parents were and still are running a successful law firm. Kenji always was a little troublemaker and after an incident including his school principal, a classroom and a bucket of paint he was expelled from his college. In high school he became obsessed with his natural parents and since that time he tries to find out who they are.
His parents sent him away for a year to the Sandy Bridges university in Perimeter Defence, to “teach him some discipline”. He now resides there. He quickly got quite infamous around the school, as a rebel and firebrand. His attitude has changed slightly since his arrival at the PD college and he’s more in control now. Because of his behaviour he’s despised by many and adored by few.
Other information: Kenji has a nose for tricks. If his pranks work, he’s proud of it and will show it. It’s the only thing besides firearms he will put effort in, you can call him lazy. He especially hates sport. Kenji is normally a very quiet person. He’s mostly the quiet guy that sits in the back of the class, not listening to the teacher. He had to double two classes already because of this, despite the fact that he’s intelligent. He just doesn’t use his brains for school.
Kenji is obsessed with finding his real parents. He keeps information he gathered about them in a map under his bed, in his room on the campus. He keeps it away from others and those that have found it have experienced that touching it, or even talk about it will outrage Kenji. He feels that it’s his first goal in life to meet his parents and that it’s something personal, not to be shared with others.
Since his arrival on the university Kenji has been training himself with guns and now has decent skills in it. His favourite weapons are the FN P90 and the Remington 870.
Kenji has a fierce fear of needles. He really doesn’t like them.


I guess that’s all.

Name: Lewis Hawk
Age: 18
Height: 6' 3"
Hair: Dark Brown and relatively unkempt
Eyes: Blue
Weapons: H&K XM8 (CQB)
CheyTac Intervention rifle (LRC )

Bio:
Appearance: Tends to favor black or dark clothing and blends into the background. One of those people you look at and don't remember all of ten minutes later. A closer inspection would reveal a handsome, open, face and a well built but lithe physique.

Clothing (prom Night): Wearing what amounts to a dress uniform in the Woad Raiders (of which he is a nominal Corporal though due to Regs. cannot begin active duties until he reaches age 21). Consists of a pure black, military fabric that is somewhat glossy in its "ceremonial mode". On his left shoulder is a double blue stripe signifying rank and on the upper right of his uniform he sports the designated expert-marksman symbols in all classes along with a single combat flash and his Gallantry medal. Over the uniform he is wearing a standard black suit jacket which works remarkably well though probably not enough to keep him from just blending in in the eyes of others.

History:
Growing up in the ASD as a relative of the Famed Admiral Owain Hawk, Lewis had access to quite a lot of weaponry. At the time, though, it appeared he had little or no interest in it, preferring online FPS games to firing the real thing. An only child, his parents soon gave up on the idea of him following in his uncle's footsteps and his hobby was indulged. He did well but not great in Primary school despite a rather high IQ. This was attributed to the fact that he spent nearly all his time playing combat simulators online, soon his infatuation with them grew to include real life combat simulators including paint balling. Using his Uncle's name he managed to get him and some of his friends into a Weaponry combat simulation going up against new recruits to the ASDA. He and his group of nine friends did ridiculously well against the new recruits. So well, in fact, that thy attracted the attention of the Gunnery-Sargent running the facility. The gunny, A Woad Raider (ASD Elite Spec Ops) on "home" rotation following a long run of combat missions, decided that instead of getting the group into trouble he would teach them a pointed lesson. The gunny and a group of five other trainers challenged the group and proceeded to utterly destroy them. All of them, that is, except Hawk. Lewis, in a sniping role waged a remarkable effective hit and run campaign after the group ambushed his friends. In the end it came down to Him and the Woad Raider who took him out though without difficulty. the Woad Raider took an interest in his training and four years later, at seventeen, he was sent to the academy with more training than most ASD special forces personnel. This was done after an attempted assassination on his other and father. On a camping trip the three of them we're having in the cloud forests in the ASD. A hit squad had attempted to go after him and his family in an attempt to kill them to get revenge on Admiral Hawk. At the time of the attack Lewis had been planning for a hunting expedition and was carrying his Chey-Tac. The result of the combat were brutal, both of his parents survived only due to his medic training but all five attackers were dead. Afraid for his safety, his parents had sent him out of country over his protests. He remains far to into interested in computers and specifically gaming but has gotten a lot more disciplined thanks to the tutelage of the Gunnery-Sargent. He is still a Sniper by preference but is adept at CQC both armed and unarmed. He mostly keeps to himself but will lead a team in a pinch and only if he needs to. He has mostly attempted to cover up his Natural Reflexes and talents to avoid drawing attention to himself.

by the way. Is someone gonna play the invading force (that was NOT me volunteering)

Thanks for joining in, everyone! This thread is officially converted to an OOC thread. Stand by for main RP opening post, which will be linked to in this thread as soon as it's done.

maybe you can reveal Fall's character throughout the storyline? :3

that seeing he a new character that i'am making to be used

The thread is here. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=583317)

He watched as another exchange student who was wearing a ridiculous military outfit, including a red trimmed grey trench coat, walked by while playing with a bullet

edit this out as if read my post i Never said anything about walking or walking pass any one

an It's a Greatcoat

I could edit the greycoat and standing part, but I'm not going to edit the sentence. It might be a little offensive, but it's the way my character looks at yours. It's nothing personal and it's not my personal opinion, you know, but Kenji is just not fond of military outfits. And if I can't state how my character reacts and thinks of others, how could I possibly role play something that's not a mindless robot?

i ask you edit that part out Never said anything about what you going about so please don't go saying things that were never said

Just a few clarifications if you're confused:

School starts in June and ends in March, because summer is from March-May as it is in parts of Asia. (Hibernia is, rather ironically, a warm region)

School system is: Preschool 1, Nursery, Kindergarten, Grade 1-7, High School Year 1-4, then College.

The "Senior Prom" is known as the Graduation Ball, and it takes place on a different date from the Junior Prom, such that Juniors may invite Seniors to their respective events and vice versa, aside from graduation itself being after Prom.

The "invader" characters/players, if any, will be discussed in the days leading up to their introduction.

i ask you edit that part out Never said anything about what you going about so please don't go saying things that were never said

I don't think I said anything that you haven't stated before. I really can't see what's the problem when my character sees yours.

Wow you posting My character doing something he Never did,why don't i act like a noob say yours pulled out a gun and see how you like it ??

Everyone has to ask people to make changes to posts from time to time, due to misinterpretation. Doing it politely usually gets the best response.

Doing it politely usually gets the best response.

i did that aready

Nethertopia, can you please amend your post so that Fall is standing still, playing with the bullet, rather than walking by with it? Imperial Isa was not asking you to remove the whole sentence or change your character's attitude towards Fall.

thank you Gehenna Tartarus

Or, Isa, you can not be superpicky about what your character does.

Or, Isa, you can not be superpicky about what your character does.

No as i don't like poeple RPing my characters or actions i never said with out my Okay,just like many other RPers here

Alcona -

Is it Martin or Marvin? You called him Marvin in this thread, but Martin more often than not in your IC post.

Martin...

Unfortunatly in my time since Grad School I've been rebuilding the 'Alcona' files and realized Marvin Blackwell was the founder of Blackwell Motors and had a grandson Martin...

Thanks. I'll change my notes to reflect that.

Here's a helpful piece of advice. Never get hit by a tornado. They tend to suck ass.

I’m not going to lie, this is probably the most piss poor character bio I have done. I have no idea why, but I just can’t seem to get the kick in the head to write a character bio. Then again, I usually write from the standpoint of a 24+ character, who already has a developed history. Just as an advance warning, my posting may be limited to two-three times a week. I can promise quality posts to make up for the time between posts, and I’ll refer you to other’s I’ve RP’d with for confirmation on that. However, if that is too slow a pace, then just let me know.

Name: Cooper Freeman
Nicknames: Swamp Fox, Swampy, Coop
Nationality: American
Hometown: Mobile, Alabama
Age: 18
Physical Description: Athletically built and average height, blue eyes and dirty blond/brown hair usually close cut
As usual, clicky for piccy. (http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff319/corruptedmind08/LucasBlack_Grant_6327854_400.jpg)

Most of the bio is going of what I assume to be the standards in your nation. If anything is a bit on the offside/violating local customs, let me know and I’ll change it up. For example, the existence of American football at the school, the ability of a minor to carry a handgun on his person, and the thought that, being that you mentioned students could be from anywhere, the use of dorms.

Cooper Freeman was born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, the son of a school teacher mother and a DEA agent father. His family has always been involved in law enforcement at one level or another, and always in the south. His older brother, James, is a SWAT officer with the New Orleans Police Department, his uncle with a Miami-Dade PD narcotics team, and his grandfathers on both his mother’s and father’s side were Texas Rangers. As most children do, Cooper has always wanted to follow in the footsteps of the rest of his family.

However, his mother and father always had a different idea. Not wanting the younger Freeman to get stuck in law enforcement, his father and mother have been pushing Cooper towards a more expansive education, opening up more opportunities for better paying careers. With this in mind, they chose Sandy Bridge University for Cooper, feeling that it offered just what they were looking for. Cooper doesn’t mind being away for school, and in fact enjoys the freedom it gives him.

Cooper is relatively popular among the students, but only has a few close friends. He isn’t shy, but not exactly outspoken either. His nicknames Swampy and Swamp Fox stem from his home town origin, and his accent. He speaks with a slightly more than mild southern drawl, but is not slow in his speech, and is well spoken when he chooses to be. He has had a few on again off again relationships with girls in the school, but is currently single. He stays active by playing recreational paintball, and on the school’s football team, jumping around position wise. As far as teenagers go, he is stable and doesn’t seem to suffer from any of the stereotypical “teenage angst”, and actually tends to enjoy life as it comes at him. Cooper is a quick thinker, both in wit and action, which if asked he would respond isn’t a family trait. All in all, he is an average eighteen year old, waiting to graduate high school and head off to college. He looks at the prom as a last bit of relaxation before finishing up the harder aspects of his last year in school, and a time to build some final lasting memories.

As far as combat goes, Cooper tends not to think much along the so called “brand lines.” He doesn’t have a favorite type of weapon, per say, seeing them all as just “tools in a tool box.” As long as it goes bang when the trigger is pulled, and puts the round generally where he wants it to go, he his happy. However, after a recent just for fun range outing, he has taken a liking to bull pup style weapons, citing the inherent accuracy and compactness in the design, as well as ease of use. He does, however, carry around one weapon all the time: a 9mm Sig Sauer P226 that is father used for a number of years. Having been a carry gun, the rail-less Sig has molded well, working into the “bar of soap” feel. It shows some holster wear, but nothing that turns Cooper off to the gun. Despite its age, it’s still as accurate as it was the day it came out of the factory, and Coop will openly admit that the gun shoots better than he is capable off. The stock sights have been replaced with a set of Hienie Straight Eight sights with tritinum inserts, and a Sig armorer took the slack out of the single action side of the trigger. Otherwise, the pistol is the same as it was the day it was delivered to Cooper’s father.

Coop also doesn’t prescribe to any specific form of hand to hand combat, instead mixing together what he knows into a hybrid blend. The mix base of palm strikes, punches, grapples, and kicks has elements of Krav Maga, Kali, and Emmerson style CQC mixed in with a healthy dose of “line fighting”, learned by playing defensive end for the football team. He’ll openly admit he isn’t a master of any form of hand to hand combat, including his own hybrid, but that he uses what he knows to get out of fights as fast as he can. In his opinion, the best way to win a hand to hand fight is to jump the other guy, and hit him hard enough the first time so that he chooses to not keep fighting.

Cooper is a hard working student, and is average in math and sciences, but excels in social sciences, history, and English courses.

Christ, I'd be thrilled if I managed three real posts a week.

Back in my early days of RPing on NS, with me older nation that I allowed to die off because I tired of government RPing, I was averaging six to ten fairly good posts a night. Hell, even with all the forum crashing and post eating of the old server, two other RPers (neither of whom RP anymore) and myself managed to move one thread about five pages in the course of an hour and a half. I miss the good old days.

Ironically, PD citizens are required to carry firearms on their person, and by age fifteen one should be well-versed in urban combat. They're also encouraged to bring around assault rifles, AT weapons, the like. There are extremely few places in the nation where civilian firearms are disallowed.

Point being, you're in, and match everything pretty okay. Welcome to the game! ^_^

holy! this thread grew . . .and GOOD posts man I am in trouble here lol

I'd like to inform people that the dancing going on right now is not the "main" slow dance; this is just a collection of randomly dancing people. The time as of this OOC post is like 6:30pm.

so...does that mean your char won't respond to my post/turn him down?

No, no, she'll accept. I'm just making this note because the dance seems to have started so early.

look like not every one characters going to be mixing with one another

No, no, she'll accept. I'm just making this note because the dance seems to have started so early.
oh, ok. just checking

Yo. DaWoad and Fall, this is sort of a school setup and a prom night. Why don't you make your characters a little more...in line with the theme of this schoolkids-fight-off-military-trained-invaders thing? Everyone else, while also trained to some extent, isn't quite so formal.

Also, isa, because of the errors in them, sometimes your dialogue and narrative are a little hard to read. Mind doing some stronger proofreading before posting, please?

if you not picked up Fall a 18 year old soldier and the whole porm thing is alien to him as they don't happen in his nation

and i going have to turn you down ,no matter how many times i check my post i miss things and only find them days later

Introducing two new RPers. I have other methods of recruiting besides this thread, and these two apparently just missed my announcement but expressed interest to join. Please welcome them; besides, only a day and a half of sign-ups + nothing much happening here = more people FTW!

I'm sorry, isa, I think we've a problem here. You didn't give a proper character descriptor when you entered the sign-up thread, see. I didn't know you were a real soldier until your post in the actual RP. See, I specified "student" or "high school student" as the character baseline. Even if you are trained, you could still at least adopt that kind of personality.

Finally, it was only a request for you to proofread better since it's hard for me and some other RPers to get what you're trying to say. Difficulty in communication is obviously bad for RPing quality.

Or, to put it more bluntly: your posts look like they were typed by a two year old. And that is insulting the two year old.

Ok, back to the IC...le'see. Got two people humping on the dance floor, some anime chick spinning around, two 18 year old BAMFs from spec ops, a horny prof, and Ashton Kutcher just rolled in. All the females being played are taken atm. Works well enough, I can just do what I always do, and start a fight.

Wow, I must have missed something in my own post. Humping on the dance floor?

Give the guy a break. A few years ago I spelled like that. I'm not much of a great writer now neither, but I'm able spot most mistakes I make. RPing is a great way to improve one's English.

Ya, I'm trying to get him a little more into the whole prom bit but trying to keep in line with the general character I've already set up. Sorry *chagrined*

So i'm gonna give Aralonia some time to respond if that's cool neth?

Is it possible for people to stop quoting the post they are replying to in their IC post? Can we not just reference which nations the post is responding to in the 'title' instead?

zzzzzzzzzz so you guys I'm going to go to sleep now brb 5 hours

I heartily endorse the use of spellcheck for all posts. Awesomely, for those of you who use it, Firefox has built in spellcheck, so it isn't even necessary to use MS Word or the equivalent to write posts in.

Unless you're not able to finish the RP before you auto log out and your RP is gone :P

I prefer FF with the spellcheck indeed, it's neat. But I write almost everything that's longer than five sentences in Word.

Likewise, I write everything except ooc stuff in Word, especially after losing a few long posts in the past.

Unless you're not able to finish the RP before you auto log out and your RP is gone :P.

yes the auto log out that still work after you use the so called Remember Me? button

Bloody annoying, that auto log.

Anyway, PD, could you perhaps link all the character profiles in your first post? Would be useful, if you ask me. Here are all of them:

DaWood, Martin has said zero to any of you, is over at the table picking up the drink someone else left on the table. So, your 'turning around slowly' makes zero sense as well as 'did you say something...' line.

Not a complaint, just that its so far off to left field at the moment that I'm having a hard time responding to it...

And by that do you mean any of Kenji's drinks? Cause I can come up with a solution if that's the case.

He did delete the post already, simple misunderstanding...

Will be unable to post until like after 11 PM PST because lol I'm going on a date

And I'm back and ready to continue. Where is everybody?

Aralonia, would you perhaps be as crazy as Miri herself? ^_^

I neither confirm nor deny the above statement

Christ almighty, FUS, don't do the reply-with-quote here, please ^_^

Also, added character profiles + links to original post, by request of Nethertopia.

He has contacted me again, and has asked me to apologise for not posting, and to note his withdrawal. He's out of contact for another week or so.

I was going to have Blackwell arange for a disguised hydrometer in the punch to keep tabs on the amount of spiking that had occurred.

Then it's clean-up time for Kenji ^_^ Although I doubt that at a middle/high school/university only one bowl with punch is served.

Awwwe for modern outlaws. We needed a character like him.

There's no reason for him to drop out. Things are always slow during the week.

Just in case it fails to give such an impression, I'd like to inform participants that the fight which Sarah Allendale started is one of a few "scripted" encounters intended to bring PC's together for interaction. The invasion will not begin until everyone has a certain rapport with each other.

Finally, does anyone want a fast-forward to a point later in prom, or do we want to play this slow and take it as we go?

slow is fine w/ me, and i hope my char is meeting expectations...most of my 'rich boy' chars tend to be a bit princely.

i don't care if we go slow
Fall happy by the wall doing nothing, till people talk to him,as my people don't like butting in and going on and on about who and what they are, till someone ask them

Doesn't matter to me really, I can take it easy. No rush.

Slow works for me, allows a bit of character building. And as people barely know the other characters in the thread, it allows for a more natural 'getting to know you' at the beginning of the evening, rather than in the middle.

You people should go ahead and talk. Motion to continue event stream.

motion seconded

Excellent. I love generally detailed character development/relational development.

Oh, sorry it took me so long to respond, such and such. Was hit by a virus and I had to manually kill it, since it took out my AVs.

So I got bored, and decided to finalise Miri's prom outfit.

Oh god, I was so bored.

Fuu...I did that too.

Well, sorta. I found a better picture of Lelouch, sporting an outfit similar to what my character is wearing. http://i546.photobucket.com/albums/hh436/ranma101/cg19vp8.jpg

Here's another, displaying his sword etc: http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u155/thenightcanchoose/Anime/7c094f9c.jpg

Note that the pictures aren't perfect descriptors. I have modified in my posts the parts that are different (ie. blue cloak over his left shoulder).

@Roania: There is nothing wrong with Miri's dress :P
@Alcona and Hubris: The "slid over to the Professor" thing was at you

The derision displayed for Miri Hawke is rather unusual for even this sort of character. I'm both amused and frightened ^_^

I'll let MO know that he's still welcome...but

I have to say looking at Miri's outfit...shudder...

Miri is a five year old in a seventeen year old body. And she dresses like a five year old. I suppose that's alright, if you're into that kind of thing.

At least, that's my impression.

It's better to be a child at heart than 'old' and bitter, in my opinion ^_^

Oi. I like being old, bitter, and curmudgeony.

all i'm seeing going on is everyone but Fall trying to get a root for later so i'm not posting till something worth posting for ,happens

I think you'll actually find what is happening is people giving their characters some character, by letting them interact with other player characters or background characters. The whole idea about character RPs is to build your character so that they become more than just a cardboard human with a gun when the action starts.

All we know about Fall so far is that he likes to stand against walls, plays with bullets and talks only to people who talk to him. When the fight comes later, none of the people at the party are even going to remember who he is, so he's basically going to be out on his own.

So, put in a bit of effort, move your character from the wall and join in (even if it's just to react to all the stuff going on around him), otherwise we'll all start to wonder why you bothered to enter a character into a character RP in the first place.

I am purposefully making Miri such a strange and odd character, because I believe it's fun and I want to throw people for a loop. And I'd like you to show me one five-year-old that wears 300 dollar dresses. :P

After talking with Snowy on IRC, I've made the case that there is a very basic niche in the high school ecology that's been neglected... the AV nerd!

And hence, I present to you...

Dudley Clemons!

http://dagobah.tchmachines.com/~tpjzdd/albums/Photochop/higgins.thumb.jpg (http://dagobah.tchmachines.com/~tpjzdd/gallery/Photochop/higgins)
Dudley doing his usual thing in the AV lab, editing stuff

A native of PD*, "Dud" has always been something of the odd man out in a society that subconsciously values order, discipline, martial prowess, and passive-aggressive Type A personalities. By nature he is a shy, retiring type, more apt to avoid conflict than to press to get his way, which means he had a hard time growing up in the not-intentionally bully culture of PD. He didn't mind the range training and actually loved the weapon care classes, as both were opportunities for him to concentrate on something alone and he has a slight knack for mechanisms, but group field exercises usually ended in some sort of humiliation because he wouldn't press at exactly the right time or he'd freeze up or some other event that would cause his team to lose and everyone to conveniently blame him.

Then, in high school, he discovered photography. Carrying a camera and recording for posterity gives one an absolute sort of soft power, and provides a new, mechanical facade to work behind. This is how he found his voice, so to speak, and when he wants a picture he can be just as aggressive as the rest of them. From photography composition he got an appreciation for art, particularly in photojournalism and history, which he now has some curious opinions on. He's no gearhead, but the mechanics of photography have given him a good deal of experience with watchworks and other small mechanisms; likewise, there's a great deal of similarity in shooting someone with a rifle and shooting someone with a camera, so his aim has improved a great deal.

All told, on the other hand, he's still Dud and his ever-present Nikon D300 with a bag of second-hand optics is larger than the COP 357 derringer that he keeps tucked away "just in case." Then there's the Sony HVR-A1U camcorder, also second-hand but well-cared for and ruggedized by Dud, with a Sennheiser MKE 400 shotgun microphone on top. This is his love, so none of this is financed by the school.

As of the beginning of Prom Night, Dud is 'captain' of the AV club and the go-to journalist for the school newspaper (he refuses to edit, although he does often help in photo selection). He's probably known as "the camera guy," and he has a history of being particularly persistent when it comes to his work.

* As the Segments probably have no reason to send exchange students to PD.

dude! awesome Character

Heh, thanks.

Oh yes, I second that, plus the epic post too.

Thirded and seconded.

Natalia Lucia Maria Salieri, who often goes by Natti amongst friends, is a 16yr old exchange student from Devras, in the Dominion. Natti comes from a fairly wealthy family, and if her parents had their way, a pampered lifestyle. She however, has had, much to their dismay, other ideas.

Her rebellion hasn’t been as vociferous and extreme as some might think, but has been expressed more in her dress, her choice of music, friends, and artistic pursuits. With her long, straight, jet-black hair, her porcelain doll features, and dramatic makeup – generally dark and brooding, in stark contrast to her skin – not to mention her sometimes second-hand, or hand-made clothing, she tends to drive her poor parents to distraction.

Natti wants to be an individual, not be known simply for her familial ties or money or anything of the sort. She has a strong independent streak, and doesn’t have a problem speaking her mind, but tends to do it with a subdued manner whenever she can – though she can be as intense as the situation calls for. Her style, while holding with what most might term the ‘goth’ look, she’s made her own, going with what moves her at any given moment. She doesn’t have a lot of piercings or tattoos, and prefers to accessorize with hair additions, extensions, jewelry, shoes, nylons, makeup to go with the clothes she comes up with.

Standing about 5’1, she’s of fairly standard build, not overly voluptuous, nor an anorexic mess, nor possessed of an overabundant or nearly non-existent chest. She’s fairly healthy, enjoys yoga and long walks, has been classically trained in ballet, fencing, riding, and archery. She has taken classes in art, including sculpting, drawing, and paint on her own, against her parents wishes, and is currently exploring what she terms her ‘landscapes’ phase – which she sometimes snaps quick digital photos of for later reference.

She was able to take part in the exchange program as her parents both had the money to pay for it, and felt that perhaps being away from everything might make her appreciate what she had more. So far, she’s been enjoying the freedom, exploring the extreme differences between home and PD, and gathering more data for her art ideas.

Darn it, now you all are making me want to join.

We officially have a goth-ish character. Please excuse the sudden entry of people:

Agreed. .. um one thing any time line on when the invasion is gonna begin? Just curious . .. I'm actually enjoying character development for a change lol (I'm an II player normally)

Scarlett and Ellenith Colthique are, without a doubt, the strangest exchange students attending Sandy Bridges University. Standing somewhere between five foot six and seven, the twin girls looked ordinary enough from a bit of a distance, but their inhumanity because rather apparent when one stood a bit closer. They were identical, mostly, each with straight, shoulder length hair, thin oval faces and almond-shaped eyes, and skin that would make fresh snow look dark. What set them apart, however, were the ears. The tapered, pointed ears.

The two girls were druchii, a type of reclusive elf that generally held an attitude of total contempt for other species. Their mother had been an exception, however, and as such she was in semi-exile as an ambassador to pretty much everyone and everything. Her daughters were expected to get quite the education, and so would had not only been attending affairs of state since their eighth birthday, they would spend the next thirty to forty years of their long lives studying abroad, learning of different cultures and people. So, their third year out of four in PD was soon coming to an end, and the girls were looking forward to getting some time off to travel home and see their mother.

They are twenty-one at the moment, which is about on par of sixteen for a human. Two things do set the twins apart, and that is that while Scarlett has shocking, platinum-blond hair and bright blue eyes, Ellenith has raven black locks and eyes of dark crimson, the spitting image of her mother. They're both rather different in personality, as one would expect, with Scarlett being quite outgoing, slightly rebellious, and always looking for a party, while her sister tends to be more reserved and studious.

Both girls always did their best to fit in at the school, joining clubs and taking lots of different classes, and otherwise be as friendly as possible; they wanted the locals to like them. That said, neither of them seemed at all able to understand the locals' love of country and firearms. They'd taken shooting classes, as was required, and were mostly familiar with handguns and small arms, but they held little appeal. As is tradition amongst the highborn of her people, on their twentieth birthday their mother presented them with their birth swords, each a pair of rapier-like blades that were forged for them on the day of their birth. This had sparked in the girls a love of fencing, and the blades inspired special, romantic ideals in their hearts.

Attending the gala, they'd picked out very different evening gowns, though they both made sure that having belts for their blades fit in with the styles...

The invasion will begin when it begins. No need to worry about it. A safe assumption is probably not until midnight or after.

Imperial isa - I simply have to know. Is there a POINT to your character being in this thread, or are you simply there to be an ass and insult and belittle everyone else participating? All you've done is be standoffish, arrogant, and rude, no matter what the situation - magically sit in on conversations after effectively removing yourself from the party in general - and go out of your way to make certain no one wants to be around your character, even when you go to approach one.

Anything and everything you've gotten there is a direct result of YOUR actions and words in the thread. I can't even for the life of me figure out how your character FITS into a school dance thread. Seriously - people are not like that at this age. Not real ones anyways. What is your malfunction - and if there is no malfunction - why are you even participating when you seem so dead set on doing everything but?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Imperial isa - I simply have to know. Is there a POINT to your character being in this thread, or are you simply there to be an ass and insult and belittle everyone else participating? All you've done is be standoffish, arrogant, and rude, no matter what the situation - magically sit in on conversations after effectively removing yourself from the party in general - and go out of your way to make certain no one wants to be around your character, even when you go to approach one.

lest see Fall talked to New Naggoroth character and all New Naggoroth did have her act like a bitch so she get treated like one,along with the others who all acted like it

and what part of dropping a UGV did you not get ?

then again some may not know what UGV is so
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_Ground_Vehicle

Ah, no, you came across as an ass since the first time you posted ... and just because a girl doesn't throw herself all over yours, especially given your outright ignorance of the character's ooc post pretty much saying they HIDE their elven nature ... that doesn't mean she is a 'bitch'. Nor does it warrant being labeled a 'slut'.

Unless of course you're living on Planet Misogyny where all women must bow and scrape to your -obvious- manliness and only put out for you. :rolleyes:

'All others' were reacting to how YOUR character acted. So ... who's out of line here, do ya think?

No, that isn't a trick question.

And yes, I get 'dropping' but you happened to do it after the fact - after my post. Which smacks of godmoddery. But hey. ;)

Ah, no, you came across as an ass since the first time you postedyes first post well yes he a ass about rich people and any who think they better then every else due to been just hand things on a plate

will making up a lie and have someone call over the school team to deal with them dose make her fall in as bitch seeing all he was doing was talking to her not trying to pick her up and seeing how she acted around the other guy ,In his eye's Now makes her a slut


And yes, I get 'dropping' but you happened to do it after the fact - after my post. Which smacks of godmoddery. But hey.

yes i was taking note of you and seeing he don't know her he said what he think of her till other wise shown

I still don't get your point - you haven't answered some of the more pertinent questions like 'why are you in the thread/what is your character's purpose there/how does he fit in'.

And this UGV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmanned_Ground_Vehicle) thing? Just where do you imagine you pulled that from, in all your ah, high-techy camo prom finery? Ass space? Because I'm afraid that's the only place it would fit, and I really don't see the prom folks allowing you to waltz in the door with a Big Bag of Toys to pull forth at any given moment, just when you happen to need something.

Seriously. You've added nothing of content, and seem to be just godmodding your way through as the biggest baddest jerk ever to set foot in a HS prom.

I don't get it.

So... you brought your batman utility belt to a formal dance? I mean, let's not even get into your apparent superpowers. I imagine you've never actually been inside a school gym, since they're usually anywhere from three-five storys tall. Didn't think anyone would notice your superman jumping? Oh, and "so what a elf doing here so far from their homeland ?" is not exactly how you walk up to a stranger and introduce yourself.. Though, I suppose it's slight step up from "Who you? Ugh no understand big words. Why woman be sut... sub... not-clear with big words?"

At least the caveman can probably spell...

I must point out, that no. Scarlett did not call Dylan over. I did not tell New Naggeroth I was going to send Dylan over. I sent Dylan over because Fall is weird, and Dylan is a swaggering bully who was thinking of sticking Fall into a locker. As for Dylan's cronies... like all bullies, Dylan is a coward, who likes having backup, especially when dealing with 'psychos' like Fall... oh, and it's hard to stick someone in a locker on your own, of course.

Scarlett is only guilty of preferring Dylan's company to that of your character, and she only stayed with him for about 40 seconds anyway, while Fall is guilty of... it's harder to say what he's not guilty of, but he's not winning himself any friends.

wow he wear a greatcoat as shown in my link ,not hard to hide something the size of a phone or coin

you miss the jump and not posted it like DaWoad did then it's your to fault

seeing some of posts, number of poeple know your twins New Naggoroth ,one can easy have heard things around school from talk

Dylan is a swaggering bully who was thinking of sticking Fall into a locker..

you think someone dress as a soldier would mean he may be one and it not wise to try and put them in a locker :rolleyes:

Sometimes peoples' behavior counts more than their attire. An insufferable asshole may well wear Caesar's robes but that won't stop me from wanting to kick his ass. I don't have anything to do with this thread, but I'm having no small amount of difficulty taking this "Fall" character seriously. His actions read like they're straight out of an AOL chat room, which is probably what is peeving the other participants.

Again, I'm asking --- why is Fall there?

Lets look at the facts:

He's dressed as a soldier - not someone attending a social function.
He's antisocial to the extreme.
He's more interested in 'spying' on people than interacting with them.
He has apparent 'super powers', given how high he can 'jump'. Riiiight.
Even though this is a gun-happy nation, he seems to be SO big and bad, that no one should even consider giving him any guff. Whatev.
ONE guy against a WHOLE TEAM - get a grip, even a soldier can have a hard time with a determined group, who is, by the way, used to working together.


Generally, one goes to a prom to well, socialize. Dance perhaps. Hang out with those seemingly unknown-to-Fall creatures called 'friends' - which is WHY other posters are rp'ing some knowledge, even friendship, with other characters there - given the setup, and initial ooc post by our host.

Seriously - why is Fall there if you've designed him to be anti-everything in the thread?

you miss the jump and not posted it like DaWoad did then it's your to fault
This is a high-school gymnasium.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ca/Joseph_Craig_High_School_Gym.jpg/800px-Joseph_Craig_High_School_Gym.jpg

It's even got people in it for scale. Now unless Fall is a Jedi or wearing Heinleinesque powered armor (with jump jets), there is no way that any man can, from a standing jump, get from the floor to the girders.

Besides, I've not posted yet. I could magically detect Fall before he engages his active camouflage. As you've put your character in a position to only interact with everyone else one way (i.e. commentary), it's worth wondering why you're even involved in the first place. If you're not having fun, and all you're doing is riling up everyone else, what's the point?

Dylan just want to kick ass from the start of going over seeing he stop and had ago at Scolopendra character along the way

Wait, don't tell me... Far Cry Instincts? (and answer the questions above, please.)

and i ask why i pick to start mixing you pick to have them act like Bigets.

Okay, now please answer this question:

"As you've put your character in a position to only interact with everyone else one way (i.e. commentary), it's worth wondering why you're even involved in the first place. If you're not having fun, and all you're doing is riling up everyone else, what's the point?"

He [Fall] is an ass towards rich people, and any who think that they are superior to all peons below them, due to their birth and benefits of their name.

Dude, you don't even show that. At all. You should try looking at my attempts at characterising Miri; I'm basically taking things from my own point of view and applying them, so I think they're reasonably accurate.

that will be my only comment on this situation, for the love of $deity

Okay, now please answer this question:

i was trying to start to mix with everyone and then it turn to every acting like Bigets. now i waiting to things to clam down till try again

All right. Considering that you're waiting for them to calm down, do you think bringing it back up with one-way commentary via the UGV is helping you meet that goal?

i was trying to start to mix with everyone

No... no you didn't...

You know, I don't think you're entirely clear on what bullies do. This is a lie, this sentence right here. But I'm going to be generous, and assume you don't understand what happened. This is very rare of me, so please, don't take advantage of my generosity.

The answer to your earlier question is no. No, he would not assume that an 18 year old dressed as a soldier in a gym at a high school prom would be an actual soldier, because that would be silly. He would assume that the 18 year old dressed as a soldier in a gym would be a freak of some kind, and thus completely a suitable target for bullying. He has stopped bullying Fall because he has decided that Fall is, to put it kindly, 'mental', and because Hawk has, by defending Fall, set himself up for far more entertaining bullying later in the night.

I don't know when, or if, you have been to high school (yet), but this is what High School tends to be like for people who are 'different'. They get bullied, picked on, and occasionally very, very poorly treated. There is... well, okay... was no OOC malice behind my choice of Fall, he was just someone being different, and you seemed like you'd be able to post on a regular basis at the time.

No... no you didn't...

yeah how you know mm you a minder reader?


All right. Considering that you're waiting for them to calm down, do you think bringing it back up with one-way commentary via the UGV is helping you meet that goal?
how talking to himself no where near them going to bring it back up ?

Roania been to high school just had the luck not run into bullies to know how they work

You're not operating in an actual vacuum, I'm afraid. The other players can still read it, and finding the one-way nature of the communication aggravating. You know how it goes: it's widely considered that saying something behind someone's back is cowardly because it does not give them an opportunity to defend themselves.

well i was plan later to reRp that girl over hearing him and let rip into him and have him say sorry for calling her slut,but that just out the window

And I am so looking forward to it :D

DaWoad - got no problems, no - you aren't jump-pack thrusting into rafters or going all zomg Snake! or 'look at me, I wanna be Dante!' and playing supah sekrit spai at a freaking dance. :P

Looking forward to learning more 'bout your character as we play along - haven't seen enough yet, nor had a chance to interact. Of course, that's in part because I joined late ... >_>

Just be careful, DaWoad. I know your guy is well trained cause of some angst in his younger days. Just don't let his training make him awesome. He needs to stay relatively human, or at least identifiable to humans in some way, if he turns out to not be human like some people.

oh hell yah no he's definitely human (my nation really isn't into the whole Gen-Mod stuff). He's got good reflexes and and eye for picking out weirdness. He's also CQB trained by a spec ops. guy but shoot him and he will most definitely bleed and he's got his own set of issues including a n inability to stay out of the middle of a conflict :).

Besides. I don't think you're in a place to criticise anyone's RPing, Mr. "LOL ACTIVE CAMO I CAN JUMP 40 FEET"

i was more like thinking you trying to make me have Fall have ago and start shit again which i'am not falling for, it clear that you was thinking other wise

i was more like thinking you trying to make me have Fall have ago and start shit again which i'am not falling for, it clear that you was thinking other wise

The complaint here might be that "shit was started" in the first place. If people wanted to be playing a pulse pounding social intrigue scene with fancy military toys, they'd not be participating in a prom RP. Drama is okay, but if people wanted to show off military hardware they would do it in the appropriate thread. What you're doing here would be the equivalent of walking into a General Forum thread about Gay Rights or something and talking about an entirely different topic. I don't think any sane moderator would go out of his way to police every such instance, but if it gets entirely out of hand, the hammer might have to come down.

There's a time and a place (of course) for your character and his various attributes and accessories, but I should hope it would be obvious by now that this isn't going over well with most of the other participants. I'll stop short of stepping in "officially" or any such business, but I will go so far to suggest that it's best not to make your presence a disturbing one in any thread. You've got your own thing in mind and that's fine--so does everyone else--but somehow I get the feeling that a high school prom is not the place for this character.

i'am trying to bulid my character by moving from the shit that happen and showing another side of him, when someone want to add fuel to it more as other want to move away from

Isa, please listen to the opinions of the other RPers in this thread. I myself have a few issues with your character's behavior and tech level, but I was going to overlook them as long as everyone else seemed to be okay with it.

Isa, I think the real problem with your character is that you made Fall with the invasion in mind and not the fact that he is supposed to be a kid at high school who gets dragged into fighting. Nearly everyone else in the thread has sent a character that knows how to handle a gun, but is not equipped for a war. How many people go to a dance prepared for the end of the world.

No one is saying your character cannot have strange traits – most of the characters in the thread have them. And some of the players who have slightly more military characters are managing to get their characters to fit into the whole prom theme.

I think your main problem is you are not used to this kind of character RP. I am sure that you have character interaction in your other threads, but not to the extent that this one will have.

Your character would fit in better if he was less the soldier waiting for the fight, and more the high school pupil enjoying a fun event. Remember, your character does not know what is going to happen, so he should be having fun, making conversation and doing the things you did at high school (or do, depending on your age).

Also, you need to take a little more time with your posts. If you write directly onto the forum, you might want to try writing in a word processing program like Word first and pasting onto the forum, as we really are struggling to follow some of your character’s speech and actions, which makes RPing with you very difficult.

No one wants to whine at you about your character or RPing, but if you make the RP less fun for the other people participating, you are going to be very unwelcome and eventually people will just write around you, as if your character is not there.

so . . .PD you wanna reply to me? lol

Well my character is an...er...well...he would be the equivalent of an Special Warfare Crewman in the U.S. Not special forces, just the guys who are charged with delivering special forces into unfriendly places.

But then he doesn't have any equipment or fit into any defined team he has been trained for and will be stuck trying to keep a bunch of teenagers from getting themselves killed.

You're assuming he 1) doesn't get killed at the beginning and 2) actually manages to stick with the kids. Also, he's been out long enough to become a professor at a foreign university, that kind of thing doesn't happen overnight, so he's probably not fresh. And delivering SEALs and fighting a pitched urban conflict are hardly the same thing.

I mean, it is supposed to be about untrained kids fighting off an attack, right?

I've got no problem with it. After all, Perimeter Defense is sort of broken anyway (sorry Snowy, but a universal militia attitude?) so of course people with character shields, aka heroes, that are a little over that power curve are to be expected. Really, though, what it comes down to is not what your character is so much as how you use him. I'll use an example of my own.

I have a character named Magnus Hesche. He is, by intent, a pastiche of every major pulp hero ever. Think Doc Savage mixed with Flash Gordon mixed with James Retief, and this amalgam is also a ludicrously powerful psion as well. He exemplifies all that is MAN, and is the ultimate stereotypical hero short of Superman.

He was originally written as a tongue-in-cheek parody. He never got the girl, only used SUPERPOWERS! or the like just enough to keep the situation challenging, and had a sort of Spiderman superhero-next-door attitude. Then people decided they liked Magnus, and he started getting the girl, and then I ran with it and figured he was a movie star (like Dr. Tran, google if you don't get the reference) with a comic book line and a fan club (like Buckaroo Banzai) and so on and so forth. Oddly enough, I haven't gotten a complaint yet.

Oh, sure, Magnus Hesche could single-handedly take on quite a few nations, but he doesn't. He's kept in check by his own sense of fairness and challenge... and by my sense of fair play and just common sense. I'm not trying to impress anyone here, he's just a character and that's just who he is: the Pulp Good Guy. Because there's no one-upping going on, people are surprisingly welcome to the character because he's just a fun guy. He's not Superhero Man Named Magnus, he's Magnus Hesche, who happens to be (for all intents and purposes) a superhero.

Now if your half-special-operator suddenly starts picking fights or acting in such a way to more or less OOCly say "look how cool I am," people will probably have a problem with that. So far, though, he's been a decent bloke (and has actually served well as a sort of bridge between the main group and, well, Fall; I actually think that could be an interesting sociological angle to watch) and his potential superpowers haven't defined him; they're something he has, certainly, but he's not a vehicle for them. It's like frosting; frosting is good in a thin layer on cakes but only the weird or the desperate eat huge gobs of it. Frosting also doesn't define a cake; it's a chocolate cake with strawberry frosting, not strawberry frosting with a chocolate cake.

Hmmm, that turned into something of a ramble. You see, back in my day, this was all orchards and we used to harness the forums to stegasauri...

True, but he's modeled after several real life military folks I work with and grew up with. It is surprising how really 'normal' most of the guys who've done stints in special forces appear. He isn't about to take on an entire battalion by himself, but be a little more flexible in dealing with the situation...yeah.

Alcona, I was kind of hoping that the professor would end up getting at least slightly high and bubbly, because I was curious about what would happen between him and the coeds if that happened. Let me know your thoughts before I respond plz.

I don't know about you... but I didn't learn about either plasma physics, nor supercritical fluids utilization in high school...

Just sayin'

Well, maybe they learn about that sort of stuff in the United Federation of Planets in high school, but only because they learn calculus when they're eight.

Huh. I just finished a course in quantum mechanics at high school. o_o

yah but quantum mechanics is a joke whereas super critical fluid utilization not so much

As the engineer here, let me point out that a "supercritical fluid" is just something at a temperature and pressure above its critical point; it diffuses like a gas and dissolves like a liquid. The usual example is superheated steam. "Supercritical fluid utilization" is just how such a thing would be used... so the class in question sounds like Thermodynamics. That generally just needs algebra as it doesn't particularly require any derivatives or integrations.

Ah, technobabble...

THIS IS A TEST OF THE EMERGENCY BROADCASTING SYSTEM
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Alright, I'm done here.

For now.

What you've just witnessed, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the most powerful forces known to mankind.

The beep.

What the...?

[shrugs] Oh well, whatever floats your boat, I guess...

ctually my assumption was that Blackwell's 'highscool' course was one part standard upper level physics and some general 'ooh' topics to get kids intrested in Physics.

I also assumed that the assignment was more of a personal interest research topic which would include anything within the relm of physics or even physical chemistry. I just pulled a topic which would sound cool be relatively unknown to most students but also not too difficult to fit with Dylan's character while Kenji attempted black hole quantum physics.

Oh and supercritical fluids can either be quite complex or quite simple depending on how detailed you become. Because of their tunable properties their actual phase equations and property equations can become quite complex, especially when looking at say creation of nanoparticles in degassing supercritical carbon dioxide (PhD Auburn 2008) or dealing with the use of co-solvents.

*Shrugs* I really just followed someone else to the difficulty level. It's just that my knowledge in chemistry and physics is a decently deep well.

Oh and anyone who says multi-component phase change equilibria Thermodynamics is easy either better be doing their PhD or I will hunt them down, tie them up, and send them to graduate school damn it.

Oh and Sara reminds me of an ex...although I didn't leave her for another man...or anyone for that matter

That it'd be a conceptual course wouldn't be too much of a stretch, but anything requiring more than Calc I would start getting silly. That being said, I never said that studying the use of supercritical fluids was easy, just that it didn't have to be insanely hard. In the end, we're arguing over minutae because a study into the fundamental concepts behind both plasma physics and supercritical fluids are well within the capacity of a high-schooler who can't do line integrals or differential equations (hence, introductory/conceptual Thermodynamics).

Multi-component phase change equilibria sounds about as much fun as real aerodynamics. ;)

The honorable representative from the ASD brings to the floor the motion that the invasion begin soonish

Actually I wasn't so much arguing with you as pointing out why I selected the subject matter referred too...

Though there are some highschool students who might be able to take on some two dimensional Calc problems in their final year without causing mass self molestation. http://www.asms.net/about.htm

But we are thinking on the same line Scol...

While it may be difficult to wait, if you're hoping for the violence, there is some indication that it won't begin until Act Three. And we're approaching the end of Act One now.

Unless Blackwell puts his hand in an inappropriate place on Sarah then we will have more interpersonal violence...

lol aight good to know. That was actually more of a question than anything actually but I was bored and wanted to put it as a formal statement lol

As of this post, IC time is 7:30pm thereabouts. Setting a deadline for all character interaction to culminate ten days from this post, after which we will advance time to 9:30pm. Adjust your relationships accordingly, and discuss who will be attached to whom. ^_^

Well one could say that the poor boy decided if he couldn't love Sarah he couldn't love any girl.

But in reality, that girl has likely buzzsawed through enough young men's harts to fill a battalion.

(Not Sarah, her RL doppleganger)

As I ended being too late to participate of this RP, for a change, all I can do now is offer a suggestion, which could end interesting if well executed and if the "Hollywood Stock Commie" (See also: Indiana Jones 4) trope was avoided:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Dawn

The United Duchies is having a bit of a civil war over inheritance of the throne and Amanda Blackwell just became Chancellor...so her brother might be a legitimate target of a rather expensive mercenary hit squad.

(Oh, Ilek-Vaad and the United Duchies (A&H) have closely related royal families which is why he started this thread)

Actually, Red Dawn already came up (WOLVERINES!!!) as PD, Sentient Peoples, Roania, and I discussed strategy. The only conclusion we came to was that I didn't get to play the OPFOR because apparently I would've killed everyone too hard with my mad strats. ;)

According to Snowy, that weird guy who beeped earlier is getting to play OPFOR.

Beeping OPFORs?

Dooooomed, DOOOOOOMED I say!

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

<_<

lol oh gods! And Hawk probably has absolutely no one outside of a couple of hardcore fanatic groups in the ASD who would want him dead . ..

Alright Perimeter Defense...tag your it...

Sorry A&H, and everyone...it's my exam week and I've been unable to post. *sigh* Tomorrow's my last day though so yeah!

Understandable...I was just flagging incase you missed my post...

so are we gonna have a red Dawn style Paratrooper invasion?

sorry just watched it

Wolverines!

1st time seeing it ?

1st time seeing it ?

yah I hadn't even heard about it before this thread. But twas awesome :)

i got hooked on it when i saw it on tv late one night,Now i've seen it that many times i can't reacll how many times

*Looks about the room*

My god...I'm lost in a republican stronghold*

*As stated by my stepmother who says the movie is nothing more than a "right winger wet dream crossed with highschool drama..."

Well, it really is sort of a right-wing wet dream crossed with a high-school drama. That doesn't necessarily make it bad, just ideological. I find it comical, myself (that and my roommate in college taught me how to enjoy crappy movies).

lol awww I thought it was fun :D. but yah there were aspects that were somewhat less than believable.

Air Force One's Badass President is much more LOL.

Oh true that! but AWESOME!

You sort of needed to watch that movie as a young impressionable child of the 80's. >_>

*ahem*

here in Australia it just the guns and things getting blown up

lol awww I thought it was fun :D. but yah there were aspects that were somewhat less than believable.
Invaded by Cuba, Nicaragua, and a suddenly Commie Mexico.

Oh, and limited nuclear strikes that killed "only" about 40% of China that didn't lead to all out On The Beach scenarios.

Yeah, "somewhat" less than believable.

lol hey I liked my euphemism!

*ahem*

well technically I'm two of the three . . .and maybe impressionable as well.

lol hey I liked my euphemism!
So do I. I respect understatement.
