Exodus

[VarietyBlack]

This is the auto-generated OOC topic for the roleplay "Exodus"

As it states in the "Rules" section of the first tab, "Exodus" is supposed to be a tale of the human spirit, be it in a time of triumph or downfall. It is designed to deal with the emotional impact the near loss of our species has on those that survived, and the impact of actual survival.

In short, this is not your typical "action" RP, nor is it your typical "romance" RP. It is not your typical "fantasy" RP, nor is it your typical "Sci-Fi" RP.

Exodus is your not-so-typical "human" RP, and of that almost unique quality, I am proud.

Therefore, I ask for people crazy enough to undertake this emotional task and bring to life those lucky enough to survive the end of the world.

Sounds interesting to say the least. I'm assuming we're going to be designing characters with no outstanding traits except what a normal person would have, correct? No random radiation enhancements etc?

[Thorait]

I have interest in this role play but could I play a not human creature wishing to destroy the arks to claim whats left?

[VarietyBlack]

@United: Correct. No outstanding or outlandish traits. Human as can be given the circumstances.

@Thorait: As I stated before, this isn't meant to be a typical Sci-Fi / Action RP. It's supposed to take a look at the human spirit under the most powerful of pressures. Perhaps in the future it could take on more mainstream fictional elements, but in the beginning I would like for it to focus on the situation's effects on the human psyche.

I'm kinda new to this roleplaying thing. When does the role playing start?

[VarietyBlack]

There are still some things I'm working on, in regards to the RP. I'm still working on developing a basic character skeleton, an eventual end to the plot, recruiting more players... There's still a lot of preliminary stuff to be done. Should your character be accepted, I will message you when it comes time to start.

I love this. I submitted a character but will edit when any changes come to the character skeleton.

Anyway, I have a few questions about character relationships. How do those work? Are we going to set those up while OOC and then play them out in the roleplay, or are we just going to let them happen? I don't know what the site's rules are on this, but how far is intimacy allowed to go? In sexual scenes, if any, would we just timeskip to after the characters take care of business?

Thanks.

[VarietyBlack]

Character relationships really have no limitations placed on them as to how they are to be coordinated; you may plan them out ahead of time, or simply see where the roleplay takes you.

On the subject of... eh hem... intimacy, we most certainly will timeskip them. There is a certain extent you are allowed to take it to(per the site's rules), and they usually draw the line once descriptive adjectives are used. Basically, kiss and touch a bit, but no graphic detail.

This sounds awesome. I'm definitely going to submit a character.

[VarietyBlack]

Much appreciated! I'm glad it hasn't completely fallen from grace! Still collecting participants!

And please don't be angry, but... "Good [evening], Starshine! The Earth says, 'Hello!'"

Thanks ^_^ and one more question- I noticed you posted a character skeleton, but most everything was included in what I submitted (with the exception of one or two things). If I don't follow the format exactly but still include the necessary information, is that alright?

[VarietyBlack]

That's fine. Just make sure it's clear and all the criteria are met.

[VarietyBlack]

Not exactly the turn-out I had expected...
