It is not in my normal behavior to create roleplays based on popular media, but I thoroughly enjoy
House and know that other people do as well. Considering the popularity of the show I figured it would be a fun roleplay to have. I decided to make it an advanced roleplay because I think as a drama there is a lot of room for character development and I just assumed it would be best suited for Advanced. Also since the subject matter requires maturity I decided it best to make it advanced since a lot of the beginner players tend to be younger whereas the advanced players seem to be older. The IC thread can be found
here
In addition to the rules that are common to this site and the advanced board the following rules apply:
1. You may NPC any other the major character in the RP, except Dr. House who I will be playing as my character.
2. Your character should not be based on one of the character from the show likewise you shouldn't recreate a character from the show, I only am because Dr. House will be integral to the story, obviously.
3. No post should be less than 2 paragraphs, I dont want to hear things like, "I didn't know how to elaborate on walking down the hall." You can always write about what your character is thinking or give some exposition on his/her past. Speaking of narration you should post all narration in third person limited. Your character can speculate on the thoughts of other but you do not know them.
4. You should be familiar with the show, preferably you should have seen the most recent season, but at least know the premise and have seen enough of the show to understand the character's personalities.
5. Anytime you NPC a character from the show you should be playing them true to the personality that is presented in the show.
6. All OOC chatter should be contained here, if you post anything OOCly in the IC thread it should look like this:
This is OOC Chatter. That is slate gray with italics.
7. All dialogue, in addition to being in quotes should be in this format,
"This is dialogue." Dialogue should be in medium turquoise.
About your Character and Joining the RP:
This RP will not be following the specific story presented in the show, though some similarities will be presented, but all of the characters you will be playing do not exist in the show and the story will be my re-hashing of season 4. If you arent too familiar with the plot of season four read the wikipedia article and watch a few episodes on Fox.com before joining. Joining the game requires two simple steps, first post here saying you are, optionally post a character profile but that isn't needed because your first post should tell us basic information about your character. Step two is to make your first post, read mine to get an idea of starting exposition for your character. All of your characters are to be potential doctors on House's team. You are all competing for the job and work for House in a contest similar to the plot of season four.
Optional Profile:
Name: Gregory House
Gender: Male
Age: 49
Job Title: Head of the department of diagnostic medicine
Field: Nephrology and Infectious Disease
Notes: Walks with a cane because of an infarction in the thigh
Personality: Sarcastic medical genius
I hope you will all enjoy this RP and I hope a number of people will join, play can start immediatly after you read this and post. I hope to see you all in game and thanks for reading.
