You control a Videogame character and you do assorted things. Choose up to three characters, but choose wisely; As you will not be able to change your character's identity once it has been chosen. Smilies may be used to describe your character's experssion, but do not use excessive smilies. oh, and you can't use characters from licensed games. (I.E. Spiderman, The Hulk, Batman, Spot, Etc.) Last but not least, you can have some sort of vehicle, but you may only have up to three.

Those are the rules, now let's go.

My Characters:

Blue (Gunstar Super Heroes)
X Light (Megaman X8)
Zero (Megaman Zero 4)

My Vehicles:

Eagle Ride Armor (Megaman X4)
2 Ride Chasers (Megaman X4)

The Story:

Somehow all the videogame worlds meshed into one giant planet. don't ask how, It just did. Now a few videogame characters ended up under one roof along with a few vehicles, just cause. They'll have to get along, but who cares?

I'll let you start.

Uhh...Ace...this is very poorly written. Don't take this the wrong way, but at it's current state, nobody will join.

You didn't describe what was goin on very well. Is it an adventure/action roleplay, a survival roleplay, a team-based missions roleplay. WHAT IS IT?!

Next, what's the story? I know you said don't ask, but we hafta. If it's an adventure roleplay, you should probably have some sort of reason for the fusion and maybe them trying to make it normal again.

Y'see, I don't know what you were trying to do, but I can see that there wasn't much time put into this...at all. Just saying "THEY ALL FUSED TOGETHER, DON'T ASK WHY.THEY JUST DID" is not good and gives the impression that you didn't put much of your time into it.

ANyway, those are my tips and that's my advice. Take it or leave it. Neat concept though.

If you maybe rewrite it a little and put some plot into it, then maybe I'll consider gracing you with my roleplaying presence(sarcasm).

I do think I'm an okay roleplayer. Though when I write I use very sinple and undescriptive words like 'red' instead of 'crimson', so keep that in mind. Use better words. Like instead of saying big, say GINNORMOUS or HUMONGOUS.

Well, that's not necessarily the case. I didn't join for a few reasons. First, I'm in a lot of RPs right now, but that's just a lame excuse, I suppose. Second, I have no idea who that 'Blue' character is, and I think that's something a lot of people share: lack of knowledge about video game characters. My third reason was in part because of the others: if I used video game characters, I would want to describe them so that anyone could know who they were, and then I would have to choose characters out of the huge base of video games I have played.

Aside from all that, it would have been easier if you had put in a 'story hook', something we could react to. But I guess you did, didn't you?

That certainly is a start. That is something we can react to. But the place isn't described very well...is it a house? Just a big garage?

This allows a lot of freedom, which is good, but I think in a case like this it's too much freedom. If you didn't have a specific goal for the characters, this allows us to make one.

Hmm...hey, if you're still up for it, Ace54, post here and let me know! I'd be willing to help you out with this, if you want.

What story? Let me make this clear: There is no story, there is no plot, there is only random crap happening to a group of videogame characters who happen to live in a big two-story house.

But, if you insist... There was a dimensional rift that meshed all the videogame worlds into one huge planet about the size of ten thousand suns.

Blue is the Fixed Shot character from Gunstar Heroes. This same Blue is the Lightning Shot from Gunstar Super Heroes, and he's the version i'm using.

Of course i'm still up for it, man. How could I not be?

That's the thing. An RP without a cohesive or properly working plot just crumbles and develops into a bunch of crap. And just a simple explanation of that all types of universes simply meshed together isn't a very impressive explanation either.

This really needs a lot of development, particularly on other points Supershadow70 made.

I mean no disrespect, but read the freaking title, Pachamac. I didn't specifiy what happens because it is an RP in which Random stuff happens. That's the point. Just random stuff happening to videogame characters who live in a big-type house. (Think Surreal Life, only with Videogame Characters.)

Okay, then we'll see just how much support this RP actually gets in the end, then.

OOC: An inch of imagination can go farther than anything else.

IC:

Nice house.

That was the thought I had, immediately before the doorbell rang. I, of course, answered it. Thanking and paying the pizza guy, I take the extra large pizza into the kitchen and set it on the table. The smell of it was amazing, and I wondered why I had never taken advantage of this kind of thing before. Then I remembered her.

She had been freaking out only a half-hour ago, because her world, her kingdom, her friends, her family - she didn't know if she would ever see them again. I comforted her as much as I could, not even knowing her, and found her a nice bed upstairs to rest on. Thinking she would get hungry soon (these emotional chicks always do, y'know), I ordered the pizza. Of course, thinking of whoever else is in this house, I made sure to get plenty of pizza.

We haven't been here long. I honestly don't know who all is in the place. But it's a nice place, and since we ended up here, I figure the least they can do is let us stay here. I mean, whoever they are, they put us here, right?

Ahh, whatever. I take a thin slice of the pizza and help myself to it. I never know how these things happen, I just go along for the ride.

In the large Garage of the house

Eggman was working on his vehicle. His mind was racing with ideas - he had to figure out how to take advantage of the situation. There was no one down here right now, and plenty of spare parts, so he intended to build a scanner and get acquainted with this world. "This isn't the first time I've hopped planets before," he thought, a big grin on his face, "and last time the world had no idea who its next ruler would be! If this is anything like that..."

He burst out into maniacal laughter!

OOC:

Characters, in order introduced:

Venom, from Guilty Gear X
Nina, from Breath of Fire IV
Eggman, from Sonic Adventure

Vehicles:

Eggman's Pod
Big Transport

Now, that's as far as I'm going right now. Will go into more character detail soon. I'll add plot hooks in as well. The only thing that still puzzles me is this:

Quote:


oh, and you can't use characters from licensed games. (I.E. Spiderman, The Hulk, Batman, Spot, Etc.)


What sort of licences are you talking about? Megaman X is licensed in one way, for instance. I could see the difference between CAPCOM's and Marvel's licenses, but Spot? If that's the Spot I'm thinking of, that is...far as I know, all he's had is a game or two. If it's a Marvel Spot or something, then I don't know that one well at all. But nevermind, could you just explain that part to me? It has me worried...

Oh, and Pach, I do agree with you as to the fate of this RP...just like so many others...but I still want to try. Heh heh, stupid me, right? Whatever, I had fun writing this up.
