Looking for some RP. I'm bored, and I'm up for anything. Anybody have any ideas for something that is bound to make people laugh together, weep together, touch lives, or touch internal organs in ways that they are not meant to be touched (possibly all at the same time)?

[Mystica]

I'd love to RP with you Quibbster. So long as it doesn't drag on for months because then I tend to lose interest.

 

What do you have in mind?

[Quibby]

What kind of character(s) do you have? I should probably know that already, but since I don't, well... Anyway, that'll give me a better idea of how to put something together.

[Mystica]

I can play any of the NSW characters on these lists (click on the tabs at the bottom for the different guilds) that aren't assigned to other people: FL member list

 

The only character I'd prefer not to play is Namore. I'm saving her for a special, big, inter-division RP.

 

I'm also willing to create a TTPC for a single RP if you like. So the sky's the limit here :)

How about a merchant or some kind of traveller requesting an escort from Cairhien to (insert location here)? Works as a good start point, though I still need a purpose for the RP.

[Mystica]

been thinking about this but it's hard to come up with an idea because I don't know what you had in mind originally.

 

How about this... a rich merchant hires you to escort his son to deliver a crate of goods to a wealthy family in (wherever). The son's a bit spoilt but with his heart in the right place. An overly romantisized view of warriors and battles, he rushes in to trouble without a second thought. To make matters worse, he's got zero talent. Trips over his own toes, drops everything he's supposed to be holding and generally makes a mess of things. His father secretely hopes that being in the presence and travelling with a real warrior, his son may absorb some of the skills or at least reduce the amount of times he's been embarrassed by the lad. The kid has a really good heart and a joyful, optimistic view on life and people and that attitude is the one that gets him out of the trouble he gets in to most of the time. But his dad, being a successful merchant, knows the reality of life and wants his son to be ready to face it when his time comes to take over the business. Weirdly, the boy does have a good head for business. It's just a bit of a rough diamant that needs to be polished up and his dad is at a loss about his never ceasing fantasies about becoming a blademaster Warder to some Queen or other. That's not what he built his business up for!

 

 

So basically.... you'd be taking on a babysitting job of an ADD youth with a hero worshipping case extraordinare that attracts trouble left, right and center.

 

 

Will you manage or will you end up killing the lad yourself?

[Quibby]

Actually, that's almost parallel to what I was working on. It also adds the chance for Mehrin to question his own motivations and remind him of what it's like to have a child. I'm hoping to make Mehrin start really questioning whether having lost his daughter is actually better for her because of his past and his tendency to get into trouble.

[Quibby]

More details:

Mehrin is in Cairhien right now, and if possible, moving north would be good for him, as it will give him an excuse to get up to the Borderlands and start poking around for hints about his daughter. Unless you want the characters to live, I think I can come up with a way to get 'em out of the picture; I need to reintroduce my Dreadlord to the RP, and having him torture and kill the two in order to learn more about his brother would be good enough a reintroduction. Towards the end of the RP, I could see a band of bandits going down, if only to drive the point home to the son that the lifestyle is anything but glamorous, especially if Mehrin suffers some injuries.

[Mystica]

I'm confused now. are you planning on killing Mehrin off? After all of his history?

[Quibby]

No, but making the kid help tend to some wounds will make it a bit more real. I'll kill Mehrin eventually, but it's going to be more epic than "he died in a fight with some bandits." What I have planned, the gods themselves will look down and go, "... wow. That's wrong. Awesome, but totally wrong."

[Mystica]

Ok, so we need a scenario to start with and I need to write up a TTPC for this RP. I don't mind if the character is killed in the end, but I'd prefer it not to kill Mehrin. I like the bugger. lol I would like to try for a bit of humor in the RP, haven't had much of that yet so it would be a challenge for me.

 

I'm going to follow your lead on this, since this is your idea. So tell me where to go, Great Master.

[Quibby]

I like the sound of that, I must say.

 

You're not killing him. Nobody's killing him until I say so. As for humor, of course. It wouldn't be me if there wasn't some form of humor to it.

 

Let's start in Cairhien. It'll give me a great outro from a current RP and an intro into this one.

[Mystica]

Alright. Start the RP and I'll start work on the TTPC bio. We'll NPC the boy's father, I think. Don't feel like writing a ton of bios

[Quibby]

I have not forgotten this. I've started it several times. It doesn't feel right any of the times. It will go up, though!

[Mystica]

no hurry Quibby, I've been rather busy and occupied myself so haven't had much time to be online either.

[Quibby]

Finally got something posted.

[Mystica]

perfect timing, im home sick this week. I'll try to get a character started to join you asap. :)

[Zander?]

Hey guys not sure if you remember me I'm an older Rper username Zander. I had a bunch of characters on here but I can't find their bios. I had a Bander- Zander Cross I believe. A FL-Dreyik I think and an Aiel Thoric and a warder Slade Drakken I think. I'm down for some serious RPing if I can get them active. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

[Mystica]

Hey Zander, I've already responded with all your infomation in the pm you sent me and Tay has mentioned that she'll get your access sorted out too. So you should be good to go (or very soon at least).

 

 

Quibby, sorry man. I totally blanked out and then forgot. I know, how dare I forget you. I'll pay my dues I promise. You can torture me for a week (just don't let Lii sing to me... plz). I'll try to get to this asap!

[Quibby]

Zander, man! First off, Band-side is easy: West Board, topic is called The Band Rocks Tanchico. We're kidnapping the DotNM, it'll be great!

 

Myst, Myst, Myst.... what am I going to do with you? Torture for a week sounds pleasant enough. You know what they say: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me."

[Mystica]

Sorry hon, really am. Been sick all week last week and then it decided to add bronchitis to the mix and yesterday DM was down and I had a wopper of a slap in the face on my rent and..... bleh, this is NOT my year at all. And it's only the second month. :(

 

Torture actually sounds nice in comparison, come to think of it.

[Zander?]

Hey Quibby whats up!! Zander Cross reporting for duty!! Well they haven't been able to find his bio so I'm hoping it can be found and I'm totally down with "borrowing" the DoTNM. Ahhh...the ale, the fights and the time top kick ass and chew bubble gum...and of course as usual all oyt of gum (Sorry for the Duke Nukem reference but eh..its Duke Nukem). If it can be found and approved I'm totally down ASAP!!!! Count me in!!!

[Quibby]

*laughs* I'm not worried about it, Mysti. Take whatever time you need.

 

As for you, Zander, I believe that this is what you're looking for.

[Mystica]

finally got to it. Here's the bio: linklink

 

I'm off to respond to the RP thread :)

[Zander?]

Hey just a thought but if your looking for more people I could have Dreyik as one of the merchant's guards accompanying you to Kandor. Im down with humor and the removal of intestines as well....lol!! Let me know if its cool or not!!
