I advise you to read the clan's Wiki article—might give you a better feel for the clan. If you're stuck for ideas, or if you'd like your new character to have some important standing within the clan, feel free to ask me via PM or Skype. Even if you don't, do let me know when you've finished the character, because I look forward to seeing new Ageru profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana Gunz Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 At the moment I'm set on an adventure with Syvra (Voxumo's character). I'm only doing one character right now to get a hold on the story though. I might do more but I still want to get a hold of how things work. I currently don't have any real plans for my adventure but I'm hoping things speed up as things go along, and I'm hoping even for some sort of integration into a bigger plot by coincidence eventually, or else things might get boring. First stop is Onu-Koro though. And by the way Voxumo, if you're reading this know that Syvra's foot is purple.

Friar Tuck Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) I know it has been mentioned already, but from someone who has been around the block several times, let the old geezer say something: Remember, kids, this game is supposed to be fun. Sure, we as staff have a bunch of rules to make and enforce. And yes, there is/needs to be a sense of some realism, because we don't want some character to break the fourth wall or have an army of bazooka-wielding gummi-bears (believe it or not I've seen worse). THAT SAID... this is a fantasy game. Fantasy. One cannot expect to be completely real when there are beings slinging fireballs, shooting evil viruses, and otherwise popping in and out of existence at a whim. Honestly if you remove the super-serious vibe you get half the time reading this stuff is actually pretty hilarious, because, let's be honest, for as "real" as we make it, we all know 90% of this stuff is really impossible. But that's what makes writing so appealing. You can do (almost) whatever you want, as long as its within the reason and guidelines of the world you set up. This is a place where one's imagination can soar, or at least should be. As much as one cannot win, that also means one cannot lose. That's right folks, just as much as there is no real "winning" there is no real losing unless you wish it. Isn't that refreshing? You are in charge of your own destiny, no matter what others or even staff may necessarily say. This is your story, WRITE IT! All I ask on behalf of the staff is that you be respectful and reasonable; use common sense towards other players while doing so (this is why I wrote up Friar's Tuck Guide to Common Sense!) We are here to have fun and write stories good or bad, happy or sad, powerful meaning or not so much, NOT to screw over someone else's character. If you make a character who's sole purpose is to be a prick and ruin other people's day, that's not needed or wanted here. There are other websites and forums for that. We as the player community are sitting around this campfire telling an interconnected story, not a bunch of Rambo's trying to be the dominate storyteller. I spent a lot of time fostering that kind of mentality after a really bad spell - let's please keep it and patch up the damage that has already been done. We are a community. We work together... evening if our character don't Edited September 3, 2014 by Friar Tuck 7 Living large... like clown-shoe size large.

They Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Tuck here just illuminated why I got into the BZPRPG. Actually, Friar Tuck was responsible for me even returning to BZPower in general exclusively for for rpg. I hear him on a podcast episode for the forums, and the way he talked about being able to tell stories with each other was so enthralling I just had to give it a try. Here I am, four years later, still playing because every time things got dark and player politics got messy, or people started calling out that there was nothing to do, I'd remember his words and sometimes even quote him in this topic, and suddenly things would improve. I think his words, despite having been GM for several long years, ring true in a universal sense for this kind of play.

The Lorax Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 There's never enough characters. Really? Because when you count through seven hundred odd in a day and record all of their information, you might think that there were enough.I think what you mean is that three are never enough active characters. And on the subject of how many players per clan, that is something I didn't record. I didn't attach character names or players to any of the records. It keeps them a little bit annonymous (though for some, like the one elementless Toa with a kakama, it shouldn't be that hard to recognise them). This way the census is more about the game as a whole than pointing out whose characters are more unique and interesting and whose wear illegal masks (this is back when I was counting those, I left them out of this one). I'm not interested in pointing out who is doing what specifically, but how we, as a community, are playing this game in interesting ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franco Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) EEEESHSilo's stuck in prison and the guards are way too clever.So boring.Well, let's be fair: surviving Makuta, experiencing a prisonbreak (also last season), and fighting off a bomb-tossing would-be bank robber has kept the Ussalry honed. However, I know from experience that imprisonment is not fun. If all goes well and your character cooperates, I'm sure we can come to an agreement that allows him a modicum of freedom. I'll be working towards that end and you should be able to expect talks soon. Edited September 3, 2014 by Own Personal Quixote [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness.
