True, true...Time to start over I guess and actually have a storyline to go with...

Storm Crow · Aug 20, 2006, 03:44 PM // 15:44

I agree with Hyper, if you put something down the rest of us can follow, then we might actually be able to roleplay, however, as the creator of this one, it's in your hands to start it off. If you don't set the bar, the rest of us can't have anything to work from.

Platinum Agent · Aug 21, 2006, 05:12 AM // 05:12

I guess you're right. If only my life gave me more time...I'll get around to starting a new roleplay that has a basic storyline to start it off. Give me at least a week or so.

Storm Crow · Aug 22, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

Please, don't start another new one, just put some amount of storyline into this one. If we start another one, we're all just going to get confused.

I'm not posting here to join the roleplay, as you seem to have enough members, but rather to submit a suggestion.

I find it much better to allow everyone's creativity to mingle and create the elaborate storyline, as it is more rewarding to the participants and more interesting due to the numerous minds behind the plot. In most cases all that's required to start a roleplay is a scene. Anything can happen in it. All you need to do is end the scene with an opening for someone else.

Of course, put some thought behind what happens, make it interesting. Add details that you leave as loose ends for the next person to knot, or the person after that. Everyone will feel much more involved and be more inclined to give more of their attention to it if you give them these opportunities.

Enjoy the roleplay,
Rist

Thanks for the idea Rist! Now I'm inspired! I'm putting mostly self-character bio, but then I'll have a sort of dream sequence that we all see.

-----

Plat walked silently through the forests of Kryta. Every step he took brought back memories from long ago. He remembered the losses he had suffered, the pain he had felt, the scars he had recieved...His eyes had lost their brilliance by the time he reached the Shiverpeak Mountains. He walked on, through a path where only he could go, where he experienced his life all over again...

-----

In an almost pitch black room, two piercing eyes glowing red appear in the shadow of the corner. The one who owns these eyes speaks to a demon of great dark power that is slightly illuminated by the moonlight peeking through the roof. "The time has come. 1337 will be our target. This world will be under our control soon."

The demon replied, "Yes, my dear friend. Shall we go for this person?"

"It isn't a person, not anymore. The Prophecy has changed, 1337 is now a group...Lead by three, a man who has recieved a title of greatness, a woman who has great knowledge in the magical arts, and the woman's friend's husband, master of necotic power. There are others that will join them soon...And they will know who they are..."

-----

A select few awoke from this dream with a start, just as in the distance everyone could hear an odd bell sounding the arrival of midnight.

-----

Hell I can't think of anything good for an introducing part, but I have my character set in a place, and I have a sort of starting point for our story. Note that I won't join the group until everyone else has met up with Sai (In the roleplay).

One more suggestion:

No offense, but it's painful to read such narrative that indicates things like dream sequences. A method I usually employ to distinguish dreams, flashbacks, etc (if I intend them to be recognized as those such and not have the truth behind them told when they wake up) is to put their content in italics.

"The words of her former master rang clear in her mind as she lifted her blade.
Vengeance is self-defeating.
How false they seemed as the steel came swinging down."

Alright, now I shant interrupt anymore. Continue with the roleplay.

Platinum Agent · Aug 22, 2006, 12:45 PM // 12:45

Alright, time to integrate the italics thing too.

Storm Crow · Aug 22, 2006, 06:28 PM // 18:28

As the toll of Midnight echoed through the Isles, a chanting halted, and a bloodstained face rose to meet the moonlight. Old scars stood bleeding, tainting a physical beauty with one metaphysical. Wise eyes gleamed in the newfound radiance, the blue-gold tone seemingly absorbing every drop of light they could find.

An Assassin's dagger dropped to the ground, a Mesmer's chaos for a moment turned to order, a Monk's hand hurt instead of healing, a Ranger's arrow missed it's mark, a Warrior's blade swung, but did not strike, a Ritualist called, but a spirit did not come, an Elementalist's meteors struck down allies, and a Necromancer's minion turned on it's master.

Eyes of brown, green, blue, grey, and hazel brilliance shone in the strike of Midnight, each knowing the others, and the all knowing the familliar stench of Death. To some it stung, to some it healed, to some it energized, and to some it had no effect, but it was there, and it was on the move.

((OOC: Would you mind telling us who those "1337" people are? The leaders I mean? The "man who has recieved a title of greatness", "woman who has great knowledge in the magical arts", and "the woman's friend's husband, master of necotic power"? Thank you!))

OOC: Storm Crow- I think he's referring to himself, Alicia,and Vanatiel. But im not so sure... I can't really think of what to add as per the storyline...so i think i may wait a bit before i enter. I want to see where it goes first.

Platinum Agent · Aug 23, 2006, 03:46 AM // 03:46

Yeah...What Hyper said. I took the number from a different game where a temporary storyline involved a certain "755" person. I decided to make a bit of a spinn-off of that and make the "1337" people. Pretty much all of us in the roleplay. And seeing, Storm, that you're playing Sai, I have to say that Vantie's the woman's friend's husband...Confusing ain't it? I have no roleplay today, maybe tomorrow.

Lordhelmos · Aug 24, 2006, 09:05 AM // 09:05

I'm still interested in whats going on, I was a little confused about the start of this whole thing. I agree with a fresh storyline to start, I think that we should organize our ideas on this thread and figure out how this is gonna work then start a new thread for the actual roleplay.

Platinum Agent · Aug 24, 2006, 12:39 PM // 12:39

I agree with Lordhelmos on that idea. I'll go PM everyone so that they can come back and contribute.

Storm Crow · Aug 24, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

I kinda like what Plat posted the first time...But I will post the same thing I did before, edited to fit, of course, nonetheless.

Platinum Agent · Aug 25, 2006, 04:48 AM // 04:48

Then I guess we'll stick with the dream sequence. I'll copy and paste the sequence itself, but I'll do some other tweaks to the delivery itself. I'll do all of this tomorrow.

Lordhelmos · Aug 25, 2006, 08:56 AM // 08:56

:P ok now im getting confused 0_o

Ron vo · Sep 15, 2006, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Er...is it too late to add my persona to this story?
