Castaway: Original Characters Edition
Hello guys! This is my first RP as a GM on this website, so please take it easy on me! I don't plan on being involved too much with this one for long, this is really just a practice RP for me to see if I still have the touch of a GM. XD However if this goes well, who knows, we may have actually create a good RP that the lurkers may sing in our names. lol Oh well, let's just get to the scenario and the rules.
A commercial flight carrying all kinds of goods and supplies has recently left from the shores of California, and is on its way to Australia in Sydney. The crew, special handlers and some of the passengers (you) are onboard for the various reasons, but they are all heading to one destination: Hell. Midway over the Pacific, something goes wrong. A loud bang is heard, and the plane is suddenly falling! The pilots struggle to gain control of the aircraft but it was useless, the plane has gone down and has crashed near the island. The plane was somewhat intact, and a whole lot of the passengers and crew made it after the crash, but the said can't be said for the pilots. The radios are down, there's no service anywhere for the cell phones, and there's little hope for Search and Rescue forces to arrive soon. There's only one rule and one law now... Survive.
Well now that the sales pitch is out of the way, I'm gonna lay down some ground rules. Since this is a casual RP that has the potential to be either very serious character developing stories or z-grade narmtastic interactions between all sorts of crazy folks, I won't be too strict on the characters posted here. I wanna see what happens if I let loose a little. Character sheet will be found down below.
The rules are quite obvious but I'm gonna put them here anyway so you guys won't sue me:
1. No trolling. I know this RP isn't really gonna be taken to seriously but please don't ruin things for everyone.
2. No godmodding. Seriously, there's no fun in dealing with an auto-hitting Mary Sue that takes away all of the tension from the RP and tries to steal the spotlight from other players and characters. Please don't be a dick, and please submit a character that at least makes the RP have some tension. XD
3. Please ask questions if you have any. Remember, Poor Communication Kills a good RP. Feel free to ask me anything, whether it would be a question about the RP or your characters, I'll answer them when I can! I'm on this site very frequently so you may get a reply shorter than you think. So again, please don't be afraid to ask.
4. No OOC drama, please! I think this one's just as obvious as #1. lol While drama in the RP is welcome and appreciated (I gotta get my ratings somehow, no one's paying money to see an RP without tension!) please take your OOC drama somewhere else, and please sort it out in a calm, civil fashion. And if you think I'm being an asshole or something please bring up what I did wrong in a PM and I'll try to correct it, okay?
5. Nothing NSFW! While normal stuff that you see on TV is okay, and cursing is okay, please don't write down anything sexual or take the cursing way too far. Essentially, just keep it PG-13.
6. Have fun! Yes, please have fun. If you're not having fun, feel free to tell me if you're losing interest in the RP and if you wanna drop from it. I don't have high hopes for this RP but I'll do my damnedest to make sure that it's at least fun to play in! XD
7. Uhm.... potatoes? I don't know. I'm a little tired right now so yeah. Just please follow my instructions when I give them, alright? Alright. :)
Okay, now that we got that out of the way, I'm gonna point out the rules to the characters.
- You can make it anyone you want, but they cannot have the abilities to make survival a whole lot easier.
- Make them at least a little interesting.
- They have to be Original Characters. While fan characters and caricatures will make a fun/funny RP, that's for another day. xD
Here's the character sheets. They'll end up looking like this:
Here's a character sheet that you can use in Notepad (don't worry it has tooltips instead of lame references):
So yeah. Post the character sheets here and I'll approve them if they don't violate any of the rules. So yeah, please feel free to ask me anything, and have fun! The RP will probably start in like a few days or so, IDK. Probably on Sunday or Monday. I'll be locking it down by then and I'll be making the first IC post. This post is subject to change as well, but I'll let you know if I updated anything in the posts below.
Have fun! :D
