Closet Nerd

Kidnap the Princess?!?!

Speaking of ClosetNerd, I can't really stay in this apparently. Sorry

The Comatose Kingdom

So, guys I've been mulling around the idea of the main character a little bit and I wanted to know if you want her to be herself in the dream thus being lucid, being a character in her own dream thus being not lucid or start out as herself and get more and more fantasy throughout the story?

The Comatose Kingdom

Well I fell behind just a bit didn't I?

Rune: Ashlyn is a good character so she's accepted. I'm going to have to have MC realize she has a crush on her subconsciously if we're going to explore that in the RP, which I fully intend to even if you don't want to. But because of that it might be a bit subtle at first during the RP, you think you can pull that off?

Toaw: I was thinking that Joseph would be the first one to instill the love of fantasy in MC's childhood so thematically that would work for Greybeard to be the first one met. Though I think I'm going to have the badness sicked on her from the start, sudden and without warning much like the cancer itself. Greybeard can possibly save her from it and whisk her off to fantasy land.

About the multi-world thing, it seems like it would complicate things too much in an RP that is already quite complicated because I'm basically making you all make two characters and maintain a sense of symbolism while I have to piece it all together. It's a nice idea and I might use it for my next RP but for this I'm not sure if it's the right fit. However, I really like that you're thinking of some big, plot-changing things right now, what else you got?

Amrita & Zordon: Yes, you can join. But as a warning because I need to put this in the opening post, the fantasy aspect is going to be inspired by things like the Alice in Wonderland, thus colourful and possibly a bit childish. Wherever the badness happens though, there would be a sweeping change in setting to resemble descriptions of any creepy place in Lord of the Rings. But welcome to both of you! I hope you get some inspiration from this RP and help us to write some awesome stuff here.

Optimist: Thanks for the update there. No need to change the setting, I'm glad you included one actually. Abigail is accepted! Also I'm not English, I just think colour looks correct phonetically. And it's fancy xD

Toaw: Yeah, it'd be 2014. I don't really see much of a reason to go back or forward since it'd likely be a maximum of a two decade difference. I'm curious about Joseph's age though. If he had a child whilst in the navy I'd assume he had that child in his twenties. I just want to know how old do you think the protagonist was when he died? Another question is are you going to use that narrator thing as a pirate? It'd be cool to have a pirate narrator simply because it's delightfully unfitting. No sarcasm.

I don't see much reason to hold him back though, he's really fleshed out and clearly well thought out so Joseph is accepted! And yes, I must always have an exclamation point when a character is accepted.

Infinity: Can't wait ^^

Rune: Good look with the CSing, friend!

Optimist: Just a minor problem with the appearances, it seems like you copypasted those on either side of the CS, Fantasy and Reality generally look different from one another. Plus that means Storm is mentioned on Gail's side.

I'm not accepting it yet since it's late and I might not have caught something potentially questionable but it looks good. Plus mentioning that the protagonist has a bisexual aunt, a gay uncle (or father, maybe) and a gay character on the way from Rune, it seems like we're already building a setting here I think. Also Pennsylvania xD

The Comatose Kingdom

Thanks for being so accepting of it ^^

Yeah, I was planning on organizing the effects of the characters once the core cast was made and the protagonist subsequently fleshed out. I'd prefer to wait for stuff like that for when we name the protagonist but if you want to make a character based on a specific part of her growth then go ahead! Monsters are fine for sure, just remember that it the world is based off of her bright childhood with some darkened elements due to the cancer. So there will be more inspiration drawn from Alice in Wonderland and the Hobbit rather than Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones, despite how much many of us like those things xD. Think colour and whimsical insanity rather than Elves, Dwarves and Orcs. Now that I think of it, I never see a Wonderland setting anymore, Tolkien is still the king XD.

Maybe a change in character could be good simply because that CS seems fairly uninspired. I'd hate to see any of you RP as a character that you aren't inspired to write for. So in your best interest, (Which might seem a bit forward since you just introduced yourself) I'd say redo or rethink it until you find something more natural and something that very clearly piques your own interest when you write for it.

Rune: Take your time, rushing isn't fun in the long run :P Once again, I'm assuming things about you. I should probably stop that, I'm much less accurate with you than anybody else xD

The Comatose Kingdom

Infinity: Greetings! I have a couple things to say about that character, none of which I'll mention yet (Except that a two year difference for romance is a big deal for teenagers. The protagonist is 16). You are requesting a major role here and you have yet to introduce yourself to the group or share your ideas on the RP and such things yet. I'm sorry if it seems a little harsh but I don't know how your creativity works yet and the role of the lover is very influential.

Aunt is fine, it's your decision. You don't all have to be immediate family, I'm going to have an OC too xD

The Comatose Kingdom

I think I'll include part of this in the CS itself but I prefer that there is always a description and I don't care if there's a photo or not as long as it is of a good quality. And if it's huge I'll likely ask you to shove it in a hider.
