[OOC] The 'Correction' Operation

[Spriggs27]

Sooo what do I do just sit here and watch others make chars ?

[Jessikka]

As with other RPs we don't fancy starting until we have like 4? So only 1-3 more people to join then we can start! If you don't mind, that is!

[Spriggs27]

I don't mind I'll try to see if I can get some one or a couple peeps in this

[Jessikka]

Thank you! I want to encourage as many people as I can to join in on this! But they still have to go through an unbiased application assessment!

Oh, well, all i'm saying is that might discourage some people from siging up. Maybe you could post something about that in the intro. Or not.I thought he could be an older recruit because there's no way he could've done all of that stuff before the age of 14, so ideally he would have been brought in at the age of 18. Maybe the military noticed his readiness for action or something and picked him up on the spot. But I hate being one of those people that force you to change stuff around, so if you don't want to do that, that's fine, really. I'll just figure out something.

On the topic of teams - they are unplayable at the moment due to number issues. If enough people express interest for a particular team, we'll open it up.

It wasn't a voluntary action, joining the military - in order to appear in the RP he'd have to be part of the military, and if he didn't report for duty, he'd probably get tracked down and punished. Its not that difficult, mind, since he'd be trapped in the city anyways. If he chose military as a drugged-up 14 year old, he might've been forced into the civilian life - THERE'S where the issue sprang up. That, and the logics of it...but you've talked with Jess about it. I guess Haven would've really wanted that military spot to get off his addiction.

Wreck said
I edited his backstory earlier to include where the military sobered him up and such as you suggested, so his addiction isnt a problem anymore but causes some personality grievances. I just thought you wanted me to change it from cocaine to something else since it sounded like cocaine wasn't avalible in this universe, an in reality a few grams isn't that expensive.

I talked with Jess about it - would morphine be okay? Here's the most of it:

One acquires cocaine from a cocoa plant. These grow in tropical jungles, jungles that are not only difficult to navigate in with a team of harvesters, but also practically crawling with Mistakes specifically adapted to the environment. Since cocoa isn't really needed, then cocaine wouldn't be needed either, and the other districts wouldn't have bothered with it.

Morphine, on the other hand, is a painkiller. When against Mistakes with poisons, or simply getting wounded...then painkillers are in high demand. People would risk their lives to get them for the money, and they're imported into the District via the Aerial Team, and the defence team give out rations but some people don't need them and sell them off in a black market (which is risky in itself)...you get the idea.

Of course, the agreements above still apply - once Haven was in the military any attempt to sneak more morphine out probably would end up with severe punishment. Especially for having the balls to try and break the law right under Rookwood's nose - he wouldn't find that funny in the slightest. Although, you'd probably win a couple of brownie points from Maria just by having the guts to try.

And yes! Tell friends. We're looking to start at 4 -non trainers-, get the RP rolling...also, we'd love it if you bumped the interest check which Jess will link in the OOC. It'll get more people to join, and we'll be able to move to the exciting bits much faster than normal..but training RP will fill up a portion of our time when we start. DW though, because I'll keep teasing you with plot and giving some nice character development opportunities!

[Spriggs27]

Well that'll be a sight.

[Jessikka]

Hehe, yep! Man I'm feeling really arty but I don't know what to draw! Grr :<

[Spriggs27]

Try to draw anime charaters.

[Stitches]

A question for you new members!

What would you like some more detail on / what would you like added to the main part of the OOC post?

[Spriggs27]

A better detailed map of the base.

a couple new ranks I guess.

and Weapons of choice.

I think everything that needed to be said has been said about this, but thank you for reiterating.

When against Mistakes with poisons, or simply getting wounded...then painkillers are in high demand.

That's exactly why I asked if, for the sake of this RP, I could create a fictional drug with the same effects as cocaine, which was used as a painkiller and anesthetic for hundreds of years. Morphine wouldn't have the same effects on his personality as I would like for it to, and since this is in the future I would imagine anesthetics would be mass-produced and relatively easy for a soldier to become dependent on.

[Stitches]

Creating a fictional drug? Perfectly okay, in my eyes. With the Mistakes running havoc outside, it wouldn't be stupid to say that the world's blatant 'playing god' has caused some interesting evolutions of flora. You'll have to wait for Jess to give the go ahead, though.

[Jessikka]

It's fine with me!

Alright, great. If you have already addressed the other issues, then I will edit my form to include the new cocaine alternative.

For the CS: Weapon of choice, yeah. A sex/gender section. Maybe a sexuality section, not that I'd want it to be the center of the roleplay but it seems incomplete without one.

I'm not exactly a rigid conceptual person so I'm having a hard time picturing the base in my head. A map would help.

[Jessikka]

Wreck you're accepted too :3

[Jessikka]

The OOC first post has been updated, hopefully this is what you guys wanted!

[Spriggs27]

Well I'd hate to sound like a nit picker, but couldn't you have put the girl's washroom on the same side as the girl's room and vise verse for the boys ? Also you should add an emergency exit, and call the training chasm a training room.

[Jessikka]

Aheeh~ I didn't make it, And the training chasm's a training chasm because it was made from a naturally occurred chasm...
