[OOC] The Madness (An insane roleplay)

[tenebrae16]

@gamer5910

Alright I see that you are insistent, if you really want to get into this rp, get three people who are already accepted to vouch for you, they can either say they want you in or don't mind you in.

This is the last or second last experiment I'm accepting though so you best hurry before someone else takes a place.

[ViridianHue]

Name: Emma Winters
Age: 24

Appearance

Personality: Emma's friendly smile and large eyes full of wonder often give people the misconception that she is naive and innocent. She is rather awkward among people. Social interactions make her nervous and she is quite clumsy around people. However, her intelligence shows in her work, where she is meticulous and thorough. She is very sincere and is quite favored among some scientists for her professional attitude.
History: There's nothing particularly interesting about Emma's life before joining the project. Raised in a middle-class family, she was the only child of her parents. She did average in high-school and graduated with a fairly high GPA from college. She had a thirst for knowledge, mostly keeping to herself, perusing scientific journals and learning about modern-day breakthroughs in the world of science during her free time. Instead of following in her father's footsteps to become a doctor, she decided to devote her life to research. However, Emma wasn't content with her life and always felt like something was missing. She wanted to do something great, to be someone.
Reason for agreeing to take part in project: Curiosity, mostly. The idea behind the project intrigued her and it seemed the perfect opportunity to fulfill her wishes of achieving greatness.
Department: She has an interest in Neuroscience, but as she is an assistant, she is shuffled around departments every month wherever she is needed.
Random fact: She always carries a pepper spray in her pocket.

@ViridianHue

Lovely character and a much needed one to our staffing woes.

PLEASE AWAIT ASSIGNMENT MS WINTERS.

I'm hoping for A few more scientists before we kick this off. In the meanwhile, any with any ideas to add can post and discuss them here :3

[sheeplon]

I'm sure if you needed some of us could make scientists o:

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Holy cow I'm away for two days and this thing is booming.

I haven't voted on the poll yet because I'm not 100% sure I'll have time for this, but if I find that I do I was thinking that, considering these people are former psych-patients and many of them are still very "disturbed" that it would be a good idea for one of the scientists to be a psychologist or at least have a degree in psychology as well as one of the other sciences (probably neuroscience), and their job would be to keep up-to-date on the experiments' mental health/provide counseling or therapy/be a constant. Basically someone who get's up close and personal with the patients, and thinking in terms of plot this could later create a moral conflict.

Just a suggestion I want to know what the rest of you think.

[OscarioTheGuy]

That sounds awesome! The psychologist would speak to the patients and realise that everything that goes on is actually super tragic.

[tenebrae16]

I really like that idea, just wondering if you're offering to fill that position. Scientists will sort do be shifted around in their departments due to lack or influx of patients in certain departments. I have quite a bit more planned, but it's wonderful to have your ideas!

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Yeah I suppose I'm offering to fill the position xD

So I know the other scientists are trying to keep the attitude of treating the patients like animals, but again since this is a government funded operation one of the conditions is probably to have a psycho-therapist or something on hand, since legally they are dealing with people, and because of the general attitude of the rest of the team this person would probably not be well-liked among their colleagues, though not necessarily appreciated by the patients either. I think it creates a good connection between the patients and the scientists, and again, will probably raise moral conflict later.

[tenebrae16]

My main goal in this is to have moral conflict rampant almost everywhere and even though this sort of plot has come up many times, it's honestly a tricky thing to continue. If you're character is going to help stir up the trouble and all, then I readily welcome your character!

I'm debating whether or not to give the scientist and mutants fixed schedules. Would that help or hinder the roleplay in your opinions?

[ViridianHue]

Yay, can't wait to start. ^.^

Ah, it'd be quite interesting to have my character have moral conflicts. xD Fixed schedules would be more organized but it might get, well, boring to maintain after a while? I mean I've noticed people don't stick with RP's often when some things are controlled. -shrugs-

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Depends on the schedule. If you mean the scientists work in shifts and the subjects have specific mealtimes, well I think we can have kind of a structure for what day-to-day activity is like but I don't think it will hinder posting at all, because things can be going on simultaneously, I guess it all depends on the overall pace of the RP.

[tenebrae16]

Well, different departments might have scheduled times with certain experiments and experiments will of course have time to associate with others and be fed and have their experiments. Another great thing about this rp is if one person doesn't post for a long time (disappears) then their experiment will either be terminated or their scientist dismissed so the rp doesn't die on that one post.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

Clever.

I may post a CS later today. Right now I'm just waiting for my roommate to wake up so I can get back into my dorm room. I came back at 5AM and it was locked.

[tenebrae16]

Aw, try breaking in through the window or calling them and telling them that you're the pizza guy. I think after you, I need one more scientist to balance it out an then we can commence and come up with ideas along the way.

[gamer5910]

@spiderlegs @aegyolk @OscarioTheGuy

Can you vouch for me by answering this one question. "Do you want me in this Rp, or do you not care if I get in or not?"

I could have but I have all my stuff with me so I decided to just go on the interwebz and kill time.

[tenebrae16]

The Internet is the only place for imagination.

Anyway, who wants to double as a scientists and does anyone think that there should be service staff like janitors, cooks and whatnot or shall it all be machines that take care of things. Just an interesting thought I had. I hope we have a lot built up and discussed before we start. I've seen too many good groups fail.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

They could just be NPCs on a need-to-know basis.

[tenebrae16]

Hmm, yeah I suppose such a job wouldn't be too interesting. One more scientist! One more after you and I can put up the IC

[spiderlegs]

I'd gladly come up with a scientist! Just gimme a bit to draw up the CS.
