Turn of the Century, A Cyberpunk RP, planning thread Options

[Colonel Mustard]

Thinking about it...That internet spontaneously creating life sounds suspiciously familiar...Hmm...I'll have to think about that one...Maybe something will Fall out in the middle of the night... ...

Oh, you mean the Memetics? To be honest I got the idea a few months ago whilst reading Neuromancer, and I like to think that B4st3t and her kin are something fairly unique in terms of cyberspace entities.

[McBadgere]

Oh, fair enough... ...Excellent name though...

I really hope I'm clever enough to keep up... ...



EDIT...I'm waiting on more story details before starting writing the character intro thing, is that alright or are we heading for day 1 hideously soon?... ...

McBadgere: The actual RP thing will go on a separate thread where I'll write an intro post, but that probably won't be for another week at least, seeing as I need to post up the details and we're still waiting for Liz and (presumably) Uleni to post up their characters.

Part 2 of the Player's Guide style piece is here. Part 3, detailing cyberspace, virtual reality, augmented reality and the nature of the entities known as Memetics, will be up in a few more days after that.

[Elisabeth Hollow]

I am, I promise, just give me a few days.

[Colonel Mustard]

I am, I promise, just give me a few days.

Don't worry about it; I want to finish getting the Vegas Guide completed before I start up the RP, so it shouldn't be a problem.

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Okay, good. The guides will help me set up my character profile.

Just out of interest, what sort of character are you planning? Or is that going to be a surprise for when they're done?

[McBadgere]

Heh...That's one mega excellent guide right there that is... ...

This bit about the cyber-ronin made me smile...

their training and skill are comparable to special-forces operatives in regularly militaries.

Which is...Me... ...

Excellent stuff Mein Colonel...


Oh, and the bit about the Paladin made me sigh and wince, for reasons which will become completely clear in due time... ...

But mine was done well before you did this!!...I swear!!... ...

Yep, but there's only one Gabriel and if he comes across any Cyber-Ronin in a bad mood, there'll be five of them.

[McBadgere]

Yes, and following the First Law of Story Convention™, Gabriel will acquit himself admirably (even if with temporarily dangerous wounds that will require a decent sit down and a cup of tea while the medichines do their thang) and there will be five less cyber-ronin at the end of the fight... ...

Makes sense, pollution is part of the aesthetic. But no sub-dermal armour? That's like basic Cyberpunk warrior stuff.


I'm starting to feel inadequate, like a Cyberpunk R2-D2. Or more like the red one that blew up right after the sand-dudes sold it. Ah well, at least I've got a vocalizing box. (not in character list but please let me have it. I don't want to talk by texting on the phone.)

[McBadgere]

Nah, I love George!!...So cool!!...

I did consider the sub-dermal armour, him being ex-military and all...But I was heading towards total tank/God-mode with him as it was...

So the armour is more like the New Vegas armoured coat/health-regen implant type of thing...

[Elisabeth Hollow]

Not really a surprise, but a support character. I looked up a few stuff and she's classified as a "fixer," someone with inside connections to everything. No heavy tank-type stuff. She's good with close-ranged weapons, specializes in forgery, and it pretty low-tech except for a few things to keep her ego boosted (Pretty vain.) I may push a few things around, but basically, she gets info for the right amount of money.

[Uleni Athram]

Recently, I'm having a Metal Gear craze and I'm thinking of creating a character in tribute to a favorite character of mine; the magnificently bastardish Revolver Ocelot.

But I can't promise a regular presence on my side; school is omnipresent and look at what it did to the Expedition *sniffs sniffs*.

[Colonel Mustard]

I'll let you have vocaliser thing, Jack. Forcing you to communicate via text just because you forgot to stick it in the entry would just be irritating for everyone...

I like the character idea, Liz, and she should fit in well with the group.

Uleni, you're welcome to join with your Revolver Ocelot type (will he get possessed by his arm in this?). Worst case scenario I can always stick the guy on a bus if you end up away for a while and bring him back later when you can play.

[Uleni Athram]

Yeah, probably. Maybe a hardwire glitch in his cybernetic arm reroutes his memories to a serial killer, maybe even a malevolent software 'entity', and he goes schizo. *shrugs*

[McBadgere]

...That'll make the party extremely interesting... ...

[jack cloudy]

Yay! I get to talk and gripe about those youngsters and their fancy cybernetics!

So if I have things right, we currently have the tank, the mechanic, the smart one and the stylish one. Yup, sounds about right.
