    The Random Game OOC

    Oh god it has been a long time since I posted one of these, I think I might have forgotten how. Let's just cover the basic stuff.

    For those of you who have arrived here from the Interest check, you can skip ahead to the CS skeleton and post at your leisure. For those of you who are totally new to this thread, because I know some of you completely skip Interest checks and just browse OOC's to join. I do it too. I don't like waiting very much for an Interest check to turn into an actual RP.

    So! The random game's concept is this. You are given a series of random words, really any number will do, but everyone so far seems to be going for seven, so that works too. We'll use seven as our example. Below I have linked a site which generates a very nice cache of words to choose from, but if you really hate that site you can choose another. Once you have these words, you must develop a character that relates to these words in some way. i.e., if you words are potato, skydiving, and glory, your character can be a decorated WW2 veteran who has retired to become a potato farmer and goes skydiving to relive the thrill of being a paratrooper. Or anything. It's up to you to interpret the words you receive. Your character does not necessarily have to be human, or even sentient! They could be a vampire, a cowboy, or even a talking lamp, like in the opening to every pixar movie. Once you have decided on what your character is going to be, fill out the character sheet below.

    Once everybody has gotten their CS's up, and by everybody I just mean like four or so people, the rest of you can wait or take as long as you want, I will generate a setting and theme that your characters will play in. Note that the setting and theme will be totally random, and if everybody totally hates whatever is generated, I will generate again. But only once. So no bitching about it.

    Also, throughout the RP, I will generate random events and occurences which MUST be resolved in a satifactory manner. I will post the requirements for a satifactory resolution below. If an event is not resolved or is improperly resolved, i.e., someone screws up and nukes the planet or totally takes control of the entire event without giving anyone else a chance to post about it, I will generate a much, much worse event that will be harder and not quite as pleasant. Like the flesh-eating slug hurricane, for those that recall.

    There is no boundary to where we may go in this world that will be generated, and honestly there will most likely be no plot. It will be, in the most fitting sense, absolutely random.

    RULES:
    -While this RP is very free and open, I will expect proper posting as anyone would expect in Casual. Proper grammar and spelling unless your character speaks in l33t or something, in which case please provide translations.
    -No godmodding. You may not take over someone else's character without permission from the owner of that character. You can push, shove, smack with a fish, but only engage in battle if you have agreed on it and notified me of previous agreement. If a co-op post is being done, also let me know.
    -Civility. Let's keep it friendly guys, meaning no fighting, provocative language, or stuff like that. I am fine with swearing and shit, but don't start using it to piss people off.
    -I will introduce you to the cinderblock rule. The cinderblock rule is where if your IC conduct towards other characters is displeasing to your co-players and myself, I will warn you. First by making it hail over your general area, and if you don't clean up after a second warning, guess what happens? Cinderblocks. It will rain cinderblocks. And these are SPECIAL cinderblocks. If I strike your character with one of these unholy cinderblocks, your character is dead. FOREVER. I will also use this on people who haven't posted or shown any activity in a long time, so that we don't get stuck because one person went on a trip to the Himalayas without telling us and will be without internet access for two weeks. Be warned. No one is safe from the cinderblocks.
    - And finally, there is no "NO" in this game. If something happens in the game, deal with it. I don't wanna hear complaints that I'm a bad GM because I made giant ants attack the city before you were done with your tense dialogue.

    Requirements for a satisfactory resolution:
    1- All players must have posted one post referring to the event before the event ends. Meaning you don't get to go and resolve the event all by yourself. Because, hogging the spotlight is kinda a douchey thing to do.
    2- Unless it is explicitly said in the event, you may not kill the person who triggers the event. if the one triggerin the event is the Alien from Alien vs Predatory, then you can go nuts and kill it. But if it's Little Bo Peep who's lost her sheep, putting a bullet through her head is a no-no.
    3- If your event transports you to an unknown dimension or another country, you stay in that place unless you are told to go elsewhere. If you are taken to the Marvel Universe to fight alongside the Avengers, don't start running to some other fandom or universe to escape. If you are put in Lithuania with the goal of taking a mysterious cargo to Poland via train, then you can go wherever you like, so long as you remember to eventually resolve the event.

    Alright, I think I've finally randomized something I'm satisfied with.

    Name: Friar Francis
    Age: 32
    Gender: Male
    Species: Human
    Appearance:
    Personality: Generous, interested in other people, friendly, pious.
    Bio: Friar Francis was poisoned by a microphone tainted with a bacteria that altered his body and started to turn him to ink. The remedy can be found if he can locate a magical sword of legend, located in capitol. He doesn't know which capitol to go to, so Francis is on sort of a tour of the land, going from capital city to capital city.
    Powers: Francis is naturally sympathetic and charitable to other people- sometimes, to the point of doing harm to himself. The more he becomes ink, the more strange and unusual powers he acquires. Currently, he can absorb ink. In fact, he does this on accident sometimes, which is frustrating for him because he doesn't get to finish his books. He can also turn his arms to black liquid, but each time it become more difficult for him to resume a human shape.

    If things keep going, he'll become a creature of ink that can take any shape, and have the power to create ink golems to do his business, but by then he won't be the kindly friar anymore.
    Words given: sword, bacteria, remedy, friar, ink, capital, microphone
    Cinderblocked after time: A week. I'm a slow poster, posting on average once a week. I do, however, talk a lot in the ooc. If I'm absolutely gone from the ooc, you'll know I'm gone.

    Once people have finished the touches on their CS's, I shall generate the setting and theme. Once everyone is pleased with that, up comes the starting event with the IC.

    Okay, I just want to let you guys know when I first found the interest check for this and was reading other people's results and ideas I laughed so hard a cried.
    Anyway, here's my character.

    Name: Cherry
    Age: 15
    Gender: Female
    Species: Fairy

    Appearance:
    Cherry is no more 3 inches tall, and the only difference from the picture is that instead of these clothes, Cherry wears moss.

    Personality: Cherry is normally a fairly sweet fairy and is generally cheerful and just a little childish. Her downside is her extreme prejudice against humans. She also had a slight problem with hoarding.

    Bio: Cherry is a fairy who was born from a berry. She used to live on a very small uncharted island much like Madagascar until one it was finally discovered by humans. They came in and destroyed her home, killing her family. It was because of this she decided to flea and ended up here. She had no particular destination in mind so she just flew into she became fatigued. When she discovered humans also lived here she knew she had to get her revenge. She spent a good deal of time observing them and discovered their weakness: losing their TV's remote control. This sends them into a blind fury and they will spend an obscene amount of time l looking for it, so it quickly became Cherry's mission to steal them all. After taking a remote she brings it back her quarry, which she now lives in. She has so far collected about a dozen of them and keeps them in a pile next to where she sleeps.

    Words: Berry, Moss, Remote Control, Prejudice, Quarry, Fatigue, Island

    Alright! We now have enough complete CS's to generate a theme.

    And the theme is....

    *Drumroll*

    Setting: Pirate Utopia!
    Theme: Gains of Greatness!
    Plot: Find the treasure and become the king of pirates!

    Any objections to this speak now or forever hold your peace.
