GENRE: Anime/Manga, Slice of Life, Sci-fi (later)
This isn't a typical RP where players stay the same, over time the players are going to unlock powers and abilities in a sci-fi theme. These powers are based on the choices they make in Trip City. The city and players will alter over time based on their interactions with scenarios made by me.
INTRODUCTION
In 'Trip City' the GM (Fleeter), may at will, generate scenario posts that players have the option to engage a response to. By doing so it affects the story of the world and how future scenarios will be generated. However some events may be important, others might be to distract you and do nothing. While there is no active scenario, players, including the GM, will roleplay as normal considering the current setting and limitations. In the beginning the world will be very normal anime/manga slice of life. Eventually players will be granted sci-fi themed powers through events and their responses and merely depends on the choices they made in the game.
Any character not made in the character sheet section has the possibility of being controlled by the GM. This will allow things to happen to family members, students, teachers, bosses, and so forth. The GM will state if their role is currently in used by a GM and when no longer in use, you can roleplay with them as normal.
WORLD INFORMATION
For simplicity's sake there is only 1 city, TRIP CITY that players must stay in. You can leave the outskirts of the city and enter forested or otherwise realistic terrain, but that is as far as you're allowed to go. We can't have characters all the way in other countries-- it would get too complicated. Players can make up any part of the city as long as it is grounded in reality. For example a mall, arcade, colleges, parks, highways, etc., as long as it is set in modern day. There should be nothing unusual unless it is a GM scenario, or you gained a power/item. Trip City may alter in appearance and function as the RP continues becoming more futuristic if certain events pass.
TIME
Note that time time needs to pass for this to work. The GM will post a warning that the sun is at it's peak and setting. Meaning that it is still daylight, but night is drawing near. All active Players must start having their characters winding down for the night for the next day to start. The last call will be when the sun sets. If they don't wind down, the night watch will throw them into a shelter against their will for the next day to start. You know, just so we can move forward.
ABOUT INACTIVITY
If you don't post often enough, (which is determined situationally by the GM,) your character will be given up for the GM to use, kill, or be handed to another more active player. You must request to join again but approval has to go to the GM before you can enter again. If your character is still alive, you can request to use it again. If your character is dead, you need to make a new one-- IF you are allowed back in.
You can put your character into storage by making a post where it is clear that no one can interact with your player. (Examples: hiding, or leaving a conversation you are currently in, etc.) Add AWAY in caps at the bottom of your post. That character can be held in storage where they wont be killed off. You must add RETURN to the top of your new post when a character reappears. Do not overuse this feature or we will retract your character from the RP. Use it only for emergencies like finals, or a death of a loved one. If you are away for too long the GM may remove you from the RP, still, but we are more forgiving to inactive users who do this, because it doesn't disrupt everyone else's ability to continue. What a concept!
Inactivity is the greatest enemy to an RP. Let the GM's know if you can't move forward because the person you are RPing with isn't responding/active. We will work something out to move them out of the way.
