coming out of the woodworks

You there! Yes, you, the one who clicked onto the page! I won't bore you with the pretentious quotes from stuffy old dead dudes—it's much more fun to be pretentious in my own ways. I propose a simple question: ever joined one of those roleplays which turned out to be entirely dependent on character interaction, almost like a plot was an afterthought? Do you grow tired of aimless sandboxes with no direction? Then welcome to a world that is as much a sandbox as a litter tray is an appropriate toilet for a human. Sure, you could have a nice shite in your kitty litter, but why would you want to?

In simpler terms, I wish to create a roleplay where "conclusion" is not a taboo term. I want to take players on a journey where they are given the freedom and flexibility to make decisions that alter the course of the roleplay, yet remain moving towards a set goal. Don't settle for making your own fun out of glue and matchsticks. Fully collaborate with others to build on an existing framework to extract the richest amount of fun and satisfaction.

The subject, of course, will be superpowers and everything that comes with them. Set in a small town, the catalyst for the roleplay is a high school reunion, some 7 years after graduation, wherein certain events lead to our group of untimely people gaining powers. From there, the narrative can branch off into several points. It's all about bouncing ideas back and forth and finding what works for us in the OOC, and the characters in the IC.

A few more details:

■ I'm looking for a group of five; six at a push. If that amount of people shows interest (I can only hope they do), don't let it discourage you, as:
■ No first come first serve. No reservations. I want to see you hunger games this shit. (On a serious note: I'm not elitist. It will be a selective process, but you won't get rejected for slight mistakes like spelling, grammar, etc.)
■ I am looking for a co-GM. Express your interest in the position with a simple sentence and I will approach you if I feel you are the right fit.
■ As I want a focus on collaboration, there won't be a Discord of any kind, unless I know for certain everyone has access to it and can use it sufficiently.

cheers to everybody for the interest. work has begun on the ooc. in the meantime, feel free to get to know each other. also if we have conversation on here it will increase exposure please do my work for me

i'd also like to poll the availability of discord, since i've been weighing the different options for a peak collaborative experience. is there anyone here who is unable to access discord, be it that their device cannot handle the app (its a bit of a ram hog) or that they simply dont know how to navigate the interface? dont worry if you cant, its not necessary for discussion. more of a bonus thing than anything else.

also also, while im not going to be providing a character sheet until the ooc is up, feel free to think up a power and the effect it may have on the type of character you want to make. this is where the discussion-in-the-interest-check thing comes to play, since you dont want to get deadset on a power someone else is deadset on before the roleplay has even reached the character creation phase.

that being said, i shouldnt keep you waiting too long on the ooc front.
