Rules
As GM, I reserve the right to edit and add to these rules as I see fit. I will always post an announcement/update when this happens, however, so fret not. Also, amendments and additions will be typed in a different color to distinguish from the old rules. They will remain in this color for about one week, at which point I will change them back to the normal color. Announcements of rule changes will be made in the thread and also in the title of the thread, at the top of the page. Please check periodically to see if there have been any announcements or changes that you may have missed. |

She was born in South Carolina and moved a lot as a child. She often plays at the Cave of Evil nightclub, and some local parties. Nothing more is known about her. Personality: She tends to keep to herself and has an air of mystery around her. Whether that mystery is something she works at or something that comes naturally cannot be known for certain. More will be discovered in-game. Description: Sirens in the Moonlight Her eyes are the same color as her eyeshadow. (And yes, I know I've used this picture before.) The Keys Desire: 5 Reality: None -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Facts Name: Jessica Thompson Counterpart: Username: Kierys Class: Dreamer Gender: Female Race: Human Age: 22 Attributes Strength: 3 Dexterity: 2 Stamina: 3 Charisma: 3 Manipulation: 4 Appearance: 3 Perception: 3 Intelligence: 2 Wits: 2 About You Past/Bio: Her parents died when she was eighteen, but she didn't move from Oklahoma to California until just recently. She attends the local university. Since she just moved here, nothing more is known about her. Personality: Jessica is always a girl up for fun. She has a free-spirited, upbeat attitude that rubs off on most she meets. She's flirtatious and even a little risque sometimes, but she typically behaves herself when asked. She doesn't typically like the break the rules, however, and prefers to ask someone for help rather than risk her own well being on a task. She has a good sense of humor and makes friends fairly easily. Description: The Fading Light The Keys Desire: 10 Reality: 3 Quote:

Updates
If you have not posted for three days, please be sure to make a reply in the game thread. Warnings and Suspensions Firemare(Inactive) - None First Warning Second Warning Third Warning Suspension Expulsion Tykonaughtica(Inactive) - None First Warning Second Warning Third Warning Suspension Expulsion Cows Go Moo - None First Warning Second Warning Third Warning Suspension Expulsion Bippy - None First Warning Second Warning Third Warning Suspension Expulsion Yuutousei(Inactive) - None First Warning Second Warning Third Warning Suspension Expulsion jeregretriens(1 Get Out of Jail Free Card Remaining) - None First Warning Second Warning Third Warning Suspension Expulsion The bolded word is your current status. Warnings can be downgraded if enough time has passed in which the players have followed all the rules, including the posting requirement, without fail. After such a period of time has passed, I will take the status down one notch. If you are at your Third Warning, it will be bumped down to a Second Warning. If you are at your First Warning, it will be removed. However, if you are on Suspension, then you will only be allowed to post in the game again when I feel you have had enough time to fully realize the importance of following all the rules as they are written. The only reasons a character will be Expelled are: If you are on Suspension and you continue to piss me off or If you have disappeared from the thread without any explanation. Players who can present an acceptable (by my standards) reason for disappearing may be downgraded from Expulsion to Suspension, but you had better hope I am in a very favorable mood. Otherwise, Expelled players may not rejoin the game. |

The Facts
Name: Christiana Bleur Counterpart: Username: Firemare Class: Dreamer Gender: Female Race: Human Age: 21 Attributes Strength: 2 Dexterity: 3 Stamina: 1 Charisma: 3 Manipulation: 2 Appearance: 1 Perception: 3 Intelligence: 5 Wits: 5 About You Past/Bio: What's to tell? An over achiever from day one, she made up for in brains and wits what she lacked in looks. She just graduated college with a degree in history and is considering going back for a Masters. Personality: She is nice enough if a bit brusque at times, she makes friends quickly, but sometimes keeping them is a problem. She is kind, but can be a bit condecending because of her intelligence. She tends to assume that if she knows it, everyone must and will sometimes be rather unhelpful when it comes to filling in others. Description: Flat brown hair she can't do a thing with, she keeps it out of her way with a low ponytail with a scrunchie. Her skin isn't pallid, but it is rather pale, and her blue eyes are nothing to coo over either. Too big for her own body, she has the lanky slightly unbalanced look of a still growing teen that she never grew out of. She stands at 5'9 and weighs 140 pounds. The Keys Desire: 7 Reality: 8 |
Firemare, your attributes add up to 26. You need to take a point out of something. Once you decide that, consider yourself accepted. Usually I would ask for a sample of your writing style to decide if you would measure up to the level of literacy, but, well, I already know that. ;) Go ahead and make your first post. The setting is San Fransisco, and the time is sometime in the afternoon. You are in the "Real World". Go. ^-^
Edit: Oh, also, you can take the instructions that I wrote out of the profile, hon. I just need to know your answers. ^-^ |
The Facts
Name: Creed Devou Counterpart: (NOT Whalin) Username: Umm . . . well my username is Tykonaughtica, but considering the fact that Tykonaughtica is posting this . . . what's the point hun? Class: Dreamer Gender: Male Race: Human Age:26 Attributes Strength:3 Dexterity:1 Stamina:5 Charisma:3 Manipulation:1 Appearance:4 Perception:2 Intelligence:4 Wits:2 About You Creed is originally from England and his accent is a strange mix that he picked up from traveling across the country. He enjoys tea, a good book and some occasional (Am I allowed to have this personality quirk on here? Let me know cause it's a rather big part of who he is and I'm not sure how that works). He is kind and very polite, the perfect gentlemen. Except that he likes control over situations. He cannot stand being in a situation where he does not understand what is going on. He likes his tea with honey and cream, hold the sugar thank you very much.: Stands at a tall (Snort) 5'8, his hair is black and soft, staying a natural looking messy from running his hands through it while thinking. He wears a pair of silver rimmed, small rectangular glasses over his twinkling blue eyes and his pale skin is accented crudely with the dark clothing he is usually wearing. He is attractive and intelligent, quite the charmer. Covered by his clothes are a wide variety of scars, the only ones showing are criss-cross lines on his left hand, continuing into the long sleeves he consistently wears.: The Keys Desire: 8 - Creed desires to find his long (seven years) lost father. And in doing so he wishes to prove that the supernatural things are real. He has spent most of his life (seven years :P ) studying these things in hopes of proving them reality and thus finding his father. This has lead to a high Desire but a failing Reality as he attempts to find the "real" Reality: 6 |
In reply to you question, I will be posting the profiles on the front page under the "Profiles" section. So it's always good to have the Username attached to the corresponding character. Hence the slot for "Username". Lol, and yes, in this version of the game, you will not be "Whalin". We'll have to see who you meet this time around and how they respond to your...accent. *Smirks* As I said with Firemare, usually I would ask for an example of your writing, but just like with her, I already know what I would find, and so you are accepted. You know how it starts, hon, go ahead.

The Facts
Name: Jericho Rayner Counterpart: Username: Cows Go Moo Class: Dreamer Gender: Male Race: Human Age: 25 Attributes Strength: 3 Dexterity: 4 Stamina: 3 Charisma: 1 Manipulation: 2 Appearance: 2 Perception: 3 Intelligence: 3 Wits: 4 About You Past/Bio: Jericho was born and raised in San Jose, California. His childhood wasn't very exciting, at least not in the traditional sense. He was no charmer, though what he lacked in being suave he made up for in being well...a smart-aleck. Often this would get him detention or in almost getting his butt kicked, but somehow he was able to survive with his friends, some of which were also in the same niche of school. After graduating high school, he moved up to San Francisco where he ended up with a desk job (though most of the time he's escaping this with his online wanderlust). Personality: Jericho is not a nice man. He is actually quite rude and the only time that he keeps his mouth shut is when he's either thinking deeply or if he's shut up by someone of higher authority or strength. He is however, one who can easily improvise given a bad situation. While not a genius, he is able to think on his feet and think of a solution, no matter how unlikely or convoluted it is. He sometimes lies to people, for one reason or another, but when he does, he feels no remorse over it. Description: [Jericho] The Keys Desire: 3 Reality: 7 ((Tell me if I did the math wrong or not. I moved some of my stats around and I'm not sure if it still adds up to 25 Dx )) |
Calculators are your friend, but yes, the math is fine. Okay, I'm going to need a sample of your writing. Post in this thread what you would for your first post, and I will tell you if you are accepted or not.

Yay, mental math FTW!

Very good Cows, consider yourself accepted. I will put your profile up and you may begin posting at your convenience. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
|
It's alright (: I've been out all day so no sweat.
|
Okay, well I put it up so you're all set. ^-^
Okay, also, everyone already in game, whenever you try to do something difficult (As in, anything a normal, average person might have trouble doing. Such as backflips or dodging something, like a couch), let me know (in this thread or in a pm) and I will explain what you need to do to find out if you succeed. We will be using rolls to determine certain things, especially battles. I will be checking on this thread every day, hopefully multiple times a day. However, I do have a job and therefore cannot always be on at all hours, so please be patient and wait for me to respond. |
I have to say, I'm very intrigued by this RP! I worry I might not have the time for it though. I start school again in a month, which would put a bit of a damper on my free-time.
However, I might give it a shot and submit a profile anyways. If it turns out that I become too busy, I suppose you could just kill me off? :lol: |
Hey, is it alright if I use my sample post for my opening post or would you prefer that I write a new one?
|
Cows: Go ahead and use that post, just be sure to read the other player's posts so that you are fully aware of the surroundings, if you are in that area, and adjust your post accordingly.
Ferra: If worse comes to worse, I can occupy your character until such a time that you can rejoin us. Until then, we'll be glad for your company. Please feel free to make a profile and submit it in this thread. Also: Everyone, be sure to keep your out of character posts in this thread. Also, please check over your posts for spelling or grammar errors. There is an "edit" button if anything in your post needs amending. Please try not to write up big blocks of words. Paragraphs need to be separated appropriately (Double-spaced, please). Plus, it is very hard on the eyes. Punctuation is important. This a literate to advanced game. One last thing: Please allow people to react. Taking multiple actions without allowing reaction time from the other players is a form of god-modding, and will not be tolerated. Think realistically. For instance, if Paul meets Joe in an alley, and he pulls out a sword and swings it at him, then he must then allow Joe an opportunity to react, rather than moving on to tripping him, then stabbing him in the gut. Assuming the outcome of any interaction with other people, or assuming there is no reaction, is godmodding. Be considerate and remember that while we can type our actions in seconds, the execution of those actions in real life are rarely instantaneous. Keep time in mind. Okay. Now, with all that said, let me address the issue in the library. There was no information given regarding exactly what he typed up in the computer about the girl. It also had no information about what information he had pulled up about her, or whether or not he closed any of the windows. In this situation, any character wishing to learn something about it would have to contact the player who had posted. For instance, Firemare, if you are going to say your character looked at his screen, and then say what she found, you would have to pm Tykonaughtica to find out what he had up, since the computer is in his "control" at the moment. If someone else were to use the computer, anything they do with it would be information under their control. For instance, if you had pulled up a paint program on the computer while you were looking, and drawn a picture, someone would have to contact you to find out what you drew before they could use that information. Never assume facts about other characters or their actions. Unless they say it is so, then it is not so. Also, be sure to read each other's posts, carefully. Twice, if you must. I don't want to be addressing problems with misreading every three posts, please. And there is absolutely NO player knowledge to be used in this game. I will not give any second warnings if I see this happening. One warning, that is it. For all those who are unclear on what "PK" is, allow me to explain. You, as a player, know everything that is happening in the game, because you can read it. However, you, as a character, know only the things your character sees, smells, hears, tastes, touches. If there is a fight in the other room, your character would only know that if they hear sounds of a scuffle, or see it through an open door. Even though you as a player know this guy to be a complete liar, if he has done nothing to appear untrustworthy, then your character has no reason to think he's lying, unless he has some kind of telltale sign that he's lying. For instance, his left eye twitched, or he fidgets. Doing so is abuse of Player Knowledge. Do NOT abuse player knowledge, or I will take you out of this game. These people are not omnipotent gods. They do not know all. They are human, as listed in the "Race" section of each and every approved profile. I did not approve any gods. That goes for everyone. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I had really hoped I would not have to reprimand anyone this early in the game. Now, Firemare, I am not angry with you, but I want you to be completely aware of what I am trying to get across here. I want to know that you understand it all. If you have questions, then please, let me know. I am more than happy to clear up any concerns or confusions on matters regarding this game. Otherwise, please resume, keeping all that I have addressed here in mind. Tykonaughtica, I know you to be a fantastic roleplayer in person, and from what I have seen, also on the internet. You are very good about details and explaining surroundings, being a GM yourself. So I am sure you will have no trouble with me requesting something. To avoid future confusion, please try to detail things a bit more. For instance, it was not known if you closed the search windows about the woman or not. Since you did not say, it could be assumed that they were left open. Of course, people should try not to assume, but it is hard to avoid in some situations. A good way to prevent assumptions is by saying exactly what was done. So try to write whether or not things were closed, if lights were turned off, if you fell asleep in your work clothes, ect. This goes for everyone, of course. And if you have no qualms about this, then please resume, keeping all that I have addressed here in mind. I hope this goes without saying, but I expect everyone in this game to behave responsibly and maturely. It has been a problem in other games I have been a part of, and I do not want my threads cluttered up with arguments. I am glad the situation did not progress that far, and I do not know if it would have or not. So let me request now that any qualms anyone has with any of the players please be taken to private messages. If you require me to help resolve a matter, I will be more than happy to. But if it is a personal problem between two people, then you should not involve the entire thread. Keep personal matters personal. One last thing. Be sure to periodically check this thread, as all things pertaining to the game will be posted here. Announcements and amendments are important information that you must be aware of. Also, I may want to address something that involves the players, and I would like for everyone to be aware when I do. I will be making amendments to the rules in a moment, so, everyone please go check on any changes that may have been made since last you read. Any time I change or add something, I will say so in the title thread, which is located at the very top of the page. I will also say what day and time the rules were changed, so you will know if you have already seen the new rules or not. If you have any confrontation with any amendments in the rules, please private message me about it. Do not post about it in this thread. Sorry for the length of this. Many things needed to be addressed and I did not want to double post. |
Alright :D I'll get to posting now, though I have to go in a few minutes.
|
@Kierys: Hmm, sounds reasonable. Although I would appreciate my character being removed from the RP entirely, if possible, should it ever reach the point where I'm unable to participate for an exceptionally long duration of time. XD
With regards to your comment about reaction time, I agree completely. That's often why my responses are rather short (a few paragraphs or so) because I like to keep things at a nice pace rather than concern myself with extreme detail. I'll do my best to keep with proper writing conventions and add descriptions where it seems prudent, but is it an issue if I don't type super-advanced literate posts? Right now I'm deciding whether or not I want to reuse an old character or make a new one, lol. |
Cows: That's alright, I look forward to gaming with you as soon as possible.
Ferra: If you would prefer for your character to be removed entirely, I will be sure to do so. In regards to posting: As long as you are descriptive in your posts and comply with the Literate standard, then I am fine with your posts being somewhat shorter. Just remember, not all posts are long because of having many actions going on. A good post will have quality writing, using as many or as few words as necessary to convey the idea well. So as long as you write well enough, then the length of your post should not be an issue. I will let you know if it is. Also, regarding your character, both ways are acceptable. Whatever is to your convenience will be just fine. I'm sure that as a Moderator you are aware of the standard for Literate roleplays. |
