 |  Thanks for the link though I doubt I will take part. I just doubt I would fit in since I like to Roleplay characters that I am writing for stories/short stories(it is one of the best ways to flesh them out I think). However, I may read through some of it just for fun at times. Though I definitely prefer RP's that are more 'broken' and 'organized'. 4 Pages of RP text is a lot to read at once. The other RP place I checked out would rarely have pages much more than one page. Rather it was broken into threads for 'particular' actions and locations. The battle of the Rim would be a separate thread than the rush back at the reporters office to get a reporter out there. I found that a lot easier to read through. But that may just be the way I think. Plus that RP had 14 Major PC's and at least as many minor PC's in it so it was a bit larger on scale I think. |

 | A  aka, to be precise.Shun, tGA is meant to be a story as well, which explains why each thread is referred to as a "chapter" and that they are marked by fairly big story events, effectively acting as story arcs. The idea of breaking it up to be more organized is decent, just not up to speed with how things flow at the Alliance. |

 | This hasn't stopped people from posting. I've used some characters from my stories at tGA (although I modified them a bit to make them fit into the tGA world), so you can do the same too. Just remember to follow the guidelines in the Profiles thread if you're going to post a character. Don't worry. You don't have to read the previous RP threads if you don't want to. We have a brief summary of the first chapter in the State of the World thread (which also contains a brief overview of the setting of the tGA world). New players don't have to have any prior knowledge of earlier plots. In fact, the setting of the world is such that characters have been living in isolation in the RP for the past 10 years, so few if any even know what's really going on in the world. Thus it's easy to introduce characters to the plot without worrying about any history. Also, it's not necessary to read through all of the pages even in our newest RP thread. I think that reading through only three or four of the latest posts will be more than enough so that you can see where the action is currently taking place in and where you can meet other characters. If any of you are still in doubt as far as the plot is concerned, you can always PM me or Nic in the forums or contact us in AIM or MSN. I (or Nic) can give you a brief summary of the plot so far and also answer any other questions you have in mind.  I'd like to point out that Ashister is in fact the Ashi from tGA, whereas a person under the nick Ashi in EoFF is the other Ashi you were talking about. Ashister (who is different from EoFF's Ashi) has the same kitsune sig here as the one he has at tGA.  |

| | I guessed it was likely something along those lines. I mainly mentioned because I found it easier for me to read/keep track of. I found that reading the Chapter of tGA was harder than other RP's I have read. And after thinking about it I realized that the breaking down apparently made it easier for me to read it. I have tried and am trying. But the one character that I really feel needs fleshed out just can't seem to fit. It doesn't help that he isn't exactly a living thing to start with. And it gets worse from there. I'll continue to play with him, but I am not really hopeful of coming up with a way I can fit him in without some major changes. At which point he is a different character and that kinda defeats my point of using him in the first place. Well anyway I look at it this thread was helpful. I at least want to try drawing him now(and I wanted to draw something but just couldn't come up with what for a while now)! That comment was mostly made on the concept that I will probably read it just for fun. I read just about anything, so why not RP's? And I am horribly short of reading material lately. |

| | You made me curious. Is this character by any chance an undead of some sort? If so, we've had our share of "undead" characters in the RP even if there were only a few of such. For example, a couple of important people in the plot have came back as sort of revenants (from both the good and bad guy camps, although such beings are in general rare), and we also have a lich as an important NPC. One of the ways I approached this dilemma with one of my characters was to adapt him into the story even if it meant sacrificing parts of his "essence" in the process. I've been RPing the character and it's been useful to see how he interacts with people, which gives me a better view of his psyche and worldview. Sometimes the plot even gives me ideas that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise, so it's all beneficial for the character in the end, and I can adapt those ideas into my story as well. To make the long story short, you could try adapting your character into the RP and see how it changes him and whether it gives you any ideas that you could use for him in your own story. That has worked for me, at least, so maybe the same could be of use to you too. |
