Toybox Memories

I was going to write up the starting post, but after thinking things over I figured my 'first post' would have been very dull as Zeke isn't one of those waking up. I guess I could have talked about the breeze in the forest and the bright hot sun in the sky, but it'd essentially just be fluff no one cared about. Getting MelodyNoir to write it for me seemed the better alternative. xD

I've been talking to MelodyNoir outside the OoC and have decided that having them be a co-GM would be a good idea.
So yes, respect the Cake, they may or may not have more authority then me... *Waits for the gun to be withdrawn from the back of his head*

Our current character roster (3M, 5F) may be expanded by one as I've contacted someone.
But for the time being this'll be our cast. (Only accepting a male character, so we'll finish a 4 males if they join).

Toybox Memories

Shh Cake, I'm the GM and I'm supposed to seem all formal and proper at all times *nods*

@karamonnom
Haha, I sort of know what you mean. On one hand I want the OoC to be active. But on the other I don't want it being spammed with senseless stuff since people get discouraged from keeping up with the OoC when that happens.... it's hard to balance thigns. xD

Applications for this roleplay
are now officially closed!

8 Players have managed to meet the cut-off time, and are displayed below.
To those who weren't able to make it in time, I'm sorry but after thinking things over I've decided 8 people is probably a more ideal number to go with. Considering how some people said they were busy but still managed to get in I think it's fair. I also mentioned in the Intchk (post18) that waiting until the end of the week might mean all spots are taken. The number has been reduced, but the point will be applied regardless.

I'll be starting on an IC post shortly. Actually going to get MelodyNoir to do it xD
As mentioned prior, the RP will start with;
-All characters waking up alone in the forest.
-The time of day is 'A bit before midday'
-Characters are permitted upto one item that holds significant importance to them.
-Characters will be wearing what they were wearing at the time of their death.
-Characters do not have to come across the 'establishment; Toybox' in their first post.
-Characters are welcome to make up and come across any animal/plant. (Try not to go crazy yet though).

Toybox Memories

I think they've got another hour?
I've already received a PM from TrixyTrix and Bleu Chess, so they'll be accepted once I've done nitpicking their CS's. (Those who have already applied know the process xD). Applications close in a bit, but it'll probably be anywhere from a few hours to half a day before I manage to piece everything together and get this started. In other words I intend to get this started sometime on Thursday.

After giving things a little bit of thought, characters will be starting in the forest, waking up alone and confused. Characters are not permitted any personal equipment besides the clothes on their back, characters are allowed up to one simple item (such as a sketchbook). As well as any accessories that they had on them when they passed away, eg; earrings, bracelets, piercings, armlets, hairclips etcetc.

On a random note though, thanks to Crimmy, KoL and MelodyNoir for both being active/posting in the OoC :P

Toybox Memories

@Crimmy: Well I'm just going to go with the explanation of 'magic' when it comes to cleaning the place cause I don't want the RP to turn into a clean-fest. When the characters first arrive the place will be in dusty and perhaps a bit in disrepair. But once the initial cleaning phase is over, I'm not really going to be giving dust-collection much thought. It'll also be interesting to see which 'areas' within the school will get more attention. Normally it's the classroom, but without classes... xD

@KoL
Shh, Kotori she's not gloomy, she's just the realistic brains of the group. Every party needs a voice of reason who no one listens to... right? xD

In regards to the posting rule I'll be editing that based on how active the first few days are. I can understand that some people will feel restricted by that rule, but we have a few people who have indicated they'll only be posting once every 2~3 days.

Stupid-counting, if we have 10 people and everyone posts twice a day (It won't happen, but still) that's 20 posts a day, 140 in a week (Again, it won't happen).

If people find 2 posts to be too little though I'm happy to bump it up to my original number of 3.
To be honest I prefer a high level of activity, but I'm also mindful of how it can be ridiculously frustrating to log on each morning and find you've got an entire page of interactions to read through that may or may not concern your character. So yeah, if people seem to be hitting the cap too much, or there's at least a significant amount of interest in raising it now I'm going to leave it at two per day.

Toybox Memories

There won't be any NPC's in this roleplay (at least at the start?) because I felt it'd be too much of a hassle to play out, and I really wanted to keep the early interactions to be exclusively PC to PC. As KoL just mentioned, I'm really going for an 'empty' or 'alone in the world' vibe at the very start.

As for the school itself, I was thinking it'd be more like a college in terms of size.

: School Setup: It doesn't really matter as the characters will only be taking refuge in the school. Unlike the anime which had NPC's wandering around, this RP won't have that. Hence there won't be any classes.

Rakurai Intchk

Toybox Memories

A lot of people seem to be putting a fair amount of effort into their CS's... *totally not feeling the pressure*
Asuna Yuuki, Crimmy, and MelodyNoir have now completed their CS's and have been fully approved.
They just need to post their CS and they're all set.

@Cultural Titan@TrixyTrix@Masaki Haruna@Bleu Chess@Rae Zer
Those who have not posted a CS should aim to get it up within 24 hours from this post.
I'm mainly putting this deadline on since we now have 11 people, which is one more than I intended.

I've also put up a diagram of the school campus, originally I was just going to use the image I had on the Intchk but it lacked a bit of detail. If there's anything you want added then feel free to suggest.

Toybox Memories (AngelBeats! Inspired)

Thanks for the interest, and I'll definitely keep you in mind and send you a PM if anyone decides to drop out.

Toybox Memories (AngelBeats! Inspired)

I guess I'll await the CS with abated breath then xD
I've spoken to Kanami and while she's dropped out, she's pointed out how the roleplay isn't really a 'dude thing' xD
The roleplay's not focused enough on combat for them to flex their masculine muscles, but also no romantically oriented enough for them to see it as a hookup RP... her words, not mind, shoot her not me

I don't know how big a role romance will play in this, it's not really something I'll force on people so it's essentially up to each individual player.

Either way I look forward to getting a few more CS's~
And in the meantime I guess I should get back to fleshing a bit more out on this myself xD

Toybox Memories (AngelBeats! Inspired)

No worries Masaki, whenever you're able~
The final spots have been claimed by Bleu Chess & Crimmy
And it'd be really great if at least one of you could play a male character, we're kind of short on those xD

@Crimmy; You mentioned being busy when you expressed interest too, and seeing as how you're preparing for a test I'm happy to give you until the end of this week to get something in. I've got a few things I need to work on next week so I'm going to try get this started sometime in the next few days, but if you're okay with jumping in a bit late, then I'm fine with that too :P

Roleplay is now closed~
Everyone involved in this can now move and stick to the OoC :)

Toybox Memories (AngelBeats! Inspired)

I've noted both of you down, so you can take your time cooking something up now~

Two more positions left, one 'must' be a male character
Preferably both, since we seem to have a shortage of guys xD

Just for reference the other two characters that have been accepted
Mia: A caring but shy girl who likes having everything organized
Kotori: Level-headed pessimistic girl who has a fascination for dolls
