[OOC] We're All Going To Die! (Cycle 1)

[racial ghoul]

Well we've met the initial target of 4 players, but I think another one is okay. I think the others would welcome another player. Feel free to post your sheet here, using the interest check post as a guide.

[Camerch]

Name: Emmett Brown
Sex: M
Age: 35-ish
Personality (optional): Flexible, helping, but focused on staying alive.
Some Backstory (optional.): He's a hitchhiker, but was ditched on the side of the road.

Strengths (Try to be specific and not choose a lot of wide scope skills e.g. combat. Instead, choose something like brawling, or wrestling, or firearms.)
1. Flexible living standards
2. Can drive stick-shift
3. Intimidating with any weapon
4. A hard worker

Weaknesses (Try to have sensible weaknesses. Having weaknesses doesn't mean it's crippling, but phobias are welcome. Try something like "Sucks at directions" or something solid like "swimming". Yeah, I'm not good at swimming.)
1. Hoarder
2. Hasn't showered in months

Backpack (Just put items in. I'd love it if you're reasonable with the items and not try to cram a lot of stuff that it becomes weird. Bring stuff that your character should be bringing. Like clothes. Cash. Food. A death ray.)

1l Water bottles x2
Pocket knife
Matchbook x10
Claw hammer
Sleeping Bag
Tins of food x5 (e.g. beans, soup, bean soup etc.)

I think he's good. You're accepted unless the others have anything to say about it. They'll pick you up on the road, then?

Also, for new applicants, I'm not sure if we can manage another. But if you're interested, feel free to post. I'm yet to see how it will go with 5 players anyway, so who knows!

@racial ghoul I assume it's fine to move crazy old guy to the char tab?
Oh, and just because you keep saying old man, you re just referring to my character, right? Because I'm actually 20, it's just that some point along the way i started calling people kid for no real reason.

[Phantomlink959]

The CHAR tab is basically just a repository for character sheets, I personally restrict theo ne in my RP to GM and Co-GM being allowed to post in it, prevents clutter and we can remove any players who leave or we have to boot. Alternatively, having each person manage their own sheet is likely quite a bit more common.

[racial ghoul]

Hah! If you're gonna call me kid anyway, I'm gonna call you old man... Muhahahaha! But yes, I just haven't gotten to learning the character names yet. Thanks for the tip by the way, this is the first time I'm hosting.

[Phantomlink959]

NP kid.
Yeah, old man is accurate for him though.

[racial ghoul]

We're missing William Pike, but we're ready to start. I'll write up the intro post, you guys assume Will is asleep in the plane. Maybe let's not land it until he posts.

[racial ghoul]

Well crap, I'm not sure what perspective I should use. Third or second? I'm gonna use second, GM style. If you guys prefer third, tell me and I'll shift for the next post.

[Phantomlink959]

I find third person works best, since second person is better used for narrating as a non main character.

[racial ghoul]

Yeah, but I'm not even a character. I'm just GMing. You guys play as third. Just finished writing in second, it will take some getting used to hahaha.

EDIT: What am I even saying! This is in free RP! You guys write in third or first if you want lol. Just tell me what perspective you want for me. I'm still gonna do second at least until it gets further. I wanna see how it would look like when I'm relaying information to you individually.

[Phantomlink959]

Posted, left an open end for conversation, crazy old guy mumbling, and a touch of watching someone out of misplaced suspicion.

[racial ghoul]

Nice! Hope the others post soon as well.
@fer1323 Hey, man. Sup?

[Phantomlink959]

I know he had to withdraw interest in my RWBY rp because he was busy or something, that's a more involved game than this, though, so same may not apply.
That's just my fairly limited intel on the subject, though,

[racial ghoul]

I see. If he got busy and will drop, I hope he says so here. But either way, if he isn't here in a while, we'll continue.

[fer1323]

@racial ghoulI am here. my character is in character tab.

[racial ghoul]

Awwwwwyeah! Well then, feel free to RP with each other! I'll land the plane sometime later, maybe when you're all acquainted and such. If you guys have any questions, just ask! As for the town your travel agent booked you in, you guys can call it "Howler's Hill". It's just a random name, but I figured you could use it in the RP since your characters should be aware of it anyway.

[Rogue Colm]

So... I think we have all the chatting we're going to do done?

[fer1323]

Yeah. Rp.

[racial ghoul]

There's still the other player, though. I'm gonna give him some time to post before I land the plane. I suggest you guys talk between characters to establish your backstories etc. while we wait.
