[Obi-John-Kenobi]

Hey, I'm droppin' the Crow. I'm involved in too many RPGs and I don't have time to play 2 characters in any of em' just yet. i'm still keepin' Gandalf, though. Sorry to be such a pain.

 

[Matt Murdock]

No pain at all.

 

[Obi-John-Kenobi]

No pain at all.

Right then, after giving it some thought, there's no way I can do Ting. He didn't get a lot of characterization in ONg-Bak and I'll have a lot of trouble getting him into the actual storyline so far. So, instead, I had this idea:

THE "LIGHTS? CAMERA? ACTION! MOTION PICTURE RPG"
PLAYABLE CHARACTER APPLICATION FORM​

Hype! User Name: LibrarianThorne

Desired character: The Terminator

Is your character a 'good-guy' or a 'bad-guy?': Good Guy... probably

Movie(s) that that character has appeared in: The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

Release date(s) of film(s): 1984, 1991, and 2003

Which of the following, if any, describes your character?

Superhuman: Your character has superhuman abilities (i.e. Super-speed, flight, super-strength

Action star: Your character is a whip-wielding, car-chasing, building-destroying action hero, complete with his trusty pistol and leather fedora.


Genre of film that your character stars in: Action

Brief history of the character in their films up to the start of the RPG: This T-800 model has been recovered by the human resistance. ensing a temporal plot by the SkyNET controlled Machine Race to travel back in time and kill the human leader John Connor, the resistance reprograms this Terminator and sends it back in time to avoid the total eradication of the human race.

What font face and color do you plan on using for your character's speech: Fixedsys Red

Please write, in character, a two-paragraph (No more, no less) sample post. Please ensure that your post is in character, contains dialogue, and conforms to standard guidelines of the English language:

Time and Space whirled around the crouched machine. The synthflesh body that surrounded it, standard infiltration type 003, would have itched it had it the capacity ot understand such things. Its memory units recalled the humans that had kidnapped it, their expressions and their voices. It also recorded the unit's primary instructions. "1. Protect John Connor. 2. Obey John Connor. 3. All subsystems follow previous 2 commands."

It could not feel the subtle shift in reality. It did not notice the temporary fractioning of time all around it. It merely reviewed its operational commands again and again, and still failed to notice the change. "1. Find the Boy Who Lived. 2. Protect the Boy Who Lived. 3. Obey the Boy Who Lived."

Are there any attached NPC's that you will require for your character? No

How many times per day do you plan on posting in character?: As many as possible, likely twice a week but hopefully more if I'm in an arc.

What, if anything, can you bring to this RPG? Can a machine and magic co-exist? Why was the Terminator sent back to protect Harry Potter? Where is the T-1000? I can bring, i think, action and humor and mystery to the RPG and hopefully blend the fictions of science and magic together.

Do you know how to post pictures on the boards? Yes

 

[Obi-John-Kenobi]

^ Awesome. So is Voldemort going to be the main villain of this RPG, or what? Also, would it be okay if I had Gandalf TRAVEL to the prent world, since Middle-Earth is so much different than the world the game takes place in?

Nope, sorry to be a stickler for continuity, but if one character gets transported, everyone's gotta be.

So what you mean Harry??

 

[JinnSato]

Alright but I wanna know cause I'm planin' on Jack to get to the other world. Tell me what the rules are for that??

 

[Matt Murdock]

uhm...

Notttt meaning to sound like a jerk, here...

but...

He's sorta... your character.

 

[JinnSato]

I know but you keep sayin' stuff that confuses me. Like first you to Obi-John that he couldn't get transported. Plus, you never said what happens when they go to the new world. Like are they able to remember if they are from another wourld or not??

 

[Matt Murdock]

When'd I say that?

 

[JinnSato]

Up there you said he couldn't cause everyone would have to be.

 

[Matt Murdock]

I said he HAD to because Voldemort and John Anderton did...

Not the other way around.

 

[JinnSato]

"Nope, sorry to be a stickler for continuity, but if one character gets transported, everyone's gotta be."

But thats what ya said.

It's so confusing to me!!!!

 

[Matt Murdock]

Jeez, look what he wrote:

would it be okay if I had Gandalf TRAVEL to the present world?

And look at my answer:

Nope,

 

[Matt Murdock]

He asked if gandalf could travel willingly to the multi-universe realm instead of being unwillingly transported there.

 

[JinnSato]

OHHHHHHH....... Alright I get it.
Sorry bout all that.
It was a moment of confusion.
Thanks for the info.

 

[Obi-John-Kenobi]

He asked if gandalf could travel willingly to the multi-universe realm instead of being unwillingly transported there.

Actually I didn't mean willingly. I made a Gandalf post where Saruman cast Gandalf (unwillingly) into the world where the game takes place. Then I asked you if I could have Gandalf travel (I didn't mean necessarily mean willingly, by "travel" I meant "go there") but you said "Nope". I thought you meant, "Nope, cuz if I let Gandalf go to the present world, I'd have to let everyone do it." I din't think you meant "Yeah but not willingly".
Sorry about the confusion.

 

[Cyrusbales]

I'm going to reserve Doctor Who.....


(may take a while with the app, but hopefully up within a few hours)

 

[Cyrusbales]

Hype! User Name: Cyrusbales

Desired character: The Doctor

Is your character a 'good-guy' or a 'bad-guy?':
​

He's ancient and Forever
He burns at the centre of time
And he can see the turn of the universe​

He's fire and Ice
And Rage
He's like the night and the storm in the heart of the sun

Yeah, a good guy.​

Movie(s) that that character has appeared in: Doctor who, doctor who and the daleks, doctor who: The five doctors. There are loads, these are prob the most mportant.

Release date(s) of film(s): 1965, 1983, 1994.

Which of the following, if any, describes your character?

Alien: Your character is an Extra-Terrestrial

Genre of film that your character stars in: Science fiction.

Brief history of the character in their films up to the start of the RPG: Well there is a huge doctor who mythos. TV series are in direct continuity with the movies, so I shall pick up where season 3 of doctor who(2005-???) franchise left off(roughly).

What font face and color do you plan on using for your character's speech:

Are there any attached NPC's that you will require for your character?
Nope, none.

How many times per day do you plan on posting in character?: As often as necessary really, I have good credibility in RPG’s so don’t worry bout me!

What, if anything, can you bring to this RPG? Jelly babies? (sorry, wrong incarnation). A Decent character who can interact with anything, rather than muscling people out, he is a verbal man, which is perfectly suited to this style of RPG.

Do you know how to post pictures on the boards?

Oui.

The Doctor

The pulsing sound drew the attentions of everyone in the room, holding their weapons still for a moment, out of pure confusion and intrigue as a faded shape found it’s way into reality. The blue box sat amidst the previously warring crowds as the door swung open and out stepped a dapperly dressed young man.

“Oh….seems I’m somewhat overdressed.”

“Weeeellllll I say overdressed, more like a whole other world of dress code.”

“Well I say other world, more like ‘hold on, they’ve got bloodied axes‘.”

“Well I say axes, I mean is……..goodbye.”

Then just as quickly as it emerged, it faded into nothingness.

Working around inside the TARDIS, the next location now plotted.

“Only a few hundred years out, not bad on an empty stomach.”

 

[Matt Murdock]

excellent!

Approved.

 

[Kaboom]

just got back in to town, did i miss anything is the world still alive?

 

[Mr. Marko]

Hey guys, listen, I hate to do this, but I just can't do this RPG. I have limited time and I want to focus on specific RPGs. I can't throw more into this one, especially GM one. So, sorry SSF, but I'm out. I suggest JinnSato as my replacement.
