Club Black- buy a character-open
Club Black The room is black, fitting its name. The windows are covered so no un-welcomed eyes can see inside, but inside it is warm and you don't feel threatened. A woman with a black hoodie and stiletto boots steps onto the stage and clears her throat. “Welcome to Club Black where money can buy only one thing--people!” She regards the audience silently before motioning to someone behind her. From behind a dark velvet curtain, a small group is pushed forward and they stand side by side at the stage’s edge. The woman gestures to them. “Number 1, step forward. Do I hear a starting bid...?” ~~~∞~~~ How This Works: 1. I notice often enough people putting out prompts and story starter ideas, but I realized that sometimes peoples writer’s block are in the character area, and maybe it’s fun to get an unexpected idea, so below are basic profiles that you can buy and once you’ve bought a character, it is yours and you own all the rights to it including changing and adding information. These profiles are like a prompt to set the wheels spinning. 2. Give these guys a good home. I don’t want to see you whoring them out on the street corner (lol!). These lonely characters just want a story. 3. I know I can’t really stop ya’ll, but don’t just take them because they’re on public domain. My main reason for putting a price on the characters is because there’s no point in having 500 copies of the same person running around. There should be something that marks ownership. 4. Things might change up, become more specific, etc, if this is a success. 5. You can tell me if this is a bad idea....really, you can. |

May I have Jade? I'd be happy to pay 10g. She looks like a fun character.

|
Done and done - thanks again!
|
i think this is a great idea, Kat good luck! |
thankie hummy. I'm glad someone things so. My idea wasn't as popular as I thought it would be.
|
sometimes it takes a bit for things to take off a lot of people struggle to find a character they can relate to i hope more people pop in and decide to pick a character from you. |
you're quite right. I'd be very happy if people started popping in.
|
i will try to think of people who might need characters oh! i think mysticeyes2987: likes to role play maybe she would be interested. |
haha, thanks for the help. There are a lot of rp writers out there and I'm sure I know half of them.
|
OO thanks, Hummy for the Pin!
Kat, I'm really interested, though I have a few questions. Would you prefer me to ask them here, or in a PM? |
please talk to me here. I hate to have a conversation via pms when i dont have to,
|
I know this is old, and I'm sorry if you don't want it brought back, but I wanted to say this is a really good idea, and it's a shame that it kinda died.
|
I think I must have unsubscribed from this. I would be willing to get it back into shape and change things up to make it more appealing if there's an interest...somewhere. I sorta thought no one liked this.
|
I don't know about others, but I really like it. I'm sure there's someone out there who feels the same.
I'm not trying to push you into starting this back up, I just wanted to share my thoughts ^_^ |
I'm glad someone thinks the way you do. I was very excited when I started this, but it didn't get any attention at all. I would love to make this something interesting to people, but I never got any real feedback.
|
I don't think it was this, I think it was just the fact that the literature section, especially the subsections, is so quiet.
|
Yes. No one will ever look in these forums, but I don't think this belongs anywhere else.
|
It's definitely where it belongs.
Hmm, maybe if we fix this up, then advertise with signatures? (It's yours, I'd just love to help when you like ^_^) |
You're really a doll. I can put the link in my sig again. Would it be better to make some kind of banner?
|
[blush]
Yeah, it definitely would. Maybe we can get some help over in the art shops? I'd do it myself, but I'd rather have someone more experienced do it, as this has become strangely important to me |
important? Aw. I can make a banner in a couple days. I don't do stuff like that often, but it'd be quicker than getting someone else to do it.
|
Ok then! (sorry, I wasn't sure if you were an artist ^^')
|
Oh yeah...I went to school for art. [roll] Not that it means I'd be any good with banners.
I think I have something in mind. It'll probably end up looking creepy though. >.< |
