Welcome to Gaia! ::

Curses. I lost my post. Take 2.

The big problem I have with fan RPGs is that no one can roleplay characters perfectly. To me, that does no justice to that which we're fans of. I mean, look how the 3rd season came out.

Now, if we would introduce something totally new and irrelevant to Gargoyles to tinker with, I'd be fine. Like going back 1000 years to a different castle altogether than Wyvern.

I think that would be kinda fun. I've DMed before, and prefer Mutants and Masterminds as my system of choice. Because you can be anything you want. Even a Gargoyle.

i agree wit hyou that is why i don't take other characters that were already made, we could have this in the future or in the past, before or after goliath's clan and make up our own gargoyles, how we want them, that way there would be no complaints as to how anyone is rping their characters, i have done this before it was a sucess till the board went kaput *growls at digital* some ....freak took it over and banned everyone sad

Honestly, I think the best way to deal with god modders is the same way that this one guy I game with does. He'll warn the person a few times and then he'll bust out one of his invincible characters, or god himself, and kill that person's character, in which instance he rolls one di and then says the infamous words "Create a new character". After a few characters go down the drain for stupidity, the person either learns the lesson or quits playing. I also feel that the characters should be PMed to one of us, or both of us preferably, so that it can be checked over, you know, stop the maddness before it begins. Then the character bios can be posted in the thread that will be made for them.

The first thing we need to decide, is who will be in charge of the RP. For now, I think it should be myself and Arcadian since we've been doing most of the scheming. Though everyone else is more than welcome to give us your input.
The next thing we need to think about is the type of RP this should be. I think a free-for-all setting would probably be best. All races, all careers, all technology. I know that seems to be a bit much, but that's just my input because I'm a bit clueless on this part. I also say that because my character is a little on the unique side as far as her exact race is concerned. In fact, I'll probably PM you her bio later on so that you can see what I plan on doing.
I think the next thing we think about should the RP rules themselves. First and foremost, NO GOD MODDING. Second, you must listen to those in charge of the RP or...you will be kicked out or ignored or something (I could use some help with this part).
Okay, I'm cheating a little. I just checked out some of the rules that other RP's have and I'm stealing some of theirs. I'll put more detail into these later.
*Do not post other characters reactions
*No spam
*Out of Character, or OOC must be written in ((parenthesis))
*Do not use one-line posts. Occasionally it will be tolerated, but if it is consistant then you will be worned to stop.
*Put your posts in sentence and paragraph form, using correct spelling and punctuation and best you can. Use proper grammer as well. NO internet slang.
*Create a character bio, giving all the information required. PM it to Arcadian and I and we'll discuss it and let you know if your character is accepted.
*NO cybering
*Cussing is allowed, just don't go overboard.
*RP in third person.
That's about all I could put together.

Here's what I have for the character bios. We can eliminate some of the info if need be, but I was extremely bored when I worte all this up.
Name: Give your character's name, alias', and/or nicknames.
Age: How old your character actually is and how old they look
Gender: male or female
Species: self explanatory
Turn to stone: (if your a garg or part garg) yes or no
Origin: Where is your char. from
Occupation: what's their job
Alignment: good, evil, neutral, chaotic, etc.
Geneology: whose their parents
Appearence: This should include height, weight, hair, eyes, skin, wings, tail(if it has unique features), and clothes
Personality: How does you char. act
History: what is you character's past
Pets: self explanatory
Expertise: what is your character best at
Skills: both physican and supernatural
Enemies: any past rivals
Weapons: self explanatory
Flaws: what are your character's weaknesses, you must have at least two
Other: anything else

I do plan on rearanging things so that they are in a more practical order. Once we get the details worked out I'll open up a thread for character bios and post mine as an example. I'll also have a more organized version of the char. bio requirements that I'll post. That's all I've got for now.

Hmmm...cutting the bios would be a big relief. I do find a few problems with that idea though. First off, people may not give their characters weaknesses or flaws, thus leading to god modding. Secondly, they may also try to give their character the best of everything. Just got an idea, maybe we should do like in an actual RP. Show our characters to a DM and get them approved. We can still keep our characters in the shadows, but the DM(s) will have a copy so that no one can pull anything. Dunno though, it's just an idea.

As far as setting goes, I'm still partial to the idea of having different time periods. Thanks to having played nothing but Shadow Run for about six months, I've taken a liking to a futuristic realm. Guess it's about time though, every other game I've played has been set in ancient times. We could set up different forums for each time. From there the characters could interact as they saw fit. The forums on Gaia aren't really set up for putting different scenes in different time. I wish they were more like the forums on AvidGamers.

The other thing I was thinking about was character pictures. I'm kind of into art and usually do a sketch of my characters. I have a huge workload right now, so I won't be able to draw anyone else's characters for a few months, but I may do commissions...eventually xd Anyway, if others make sketches, I think we should consider making a place to put them. That probably won't be for a while. Seems like we're about the only ones here right now. Oh well, I'm sure more will come.

I think this would be great! I've been pretty busy with work lately so I'm not sure I could participate, but it'd be great to have! biggrin

Okay... I need another day on my own character sheet. And I think I have a good idea for a setting, but I need to do some research. Actually I need to do research on both accounts.

If anyone could answer these questions, I would be greatful.

Can Gargoyles see in the dark?
Just how sharp are their claws?
Can they get sick or poisoned?

Miscellaneous tidbits of just how strong they are and how tough they are would help too, like "the biggest thing I've seen Brooklyn throw was a motorcycle" or something. Because I haven't seen the series in so long, I don't really remember just how strong they are. Can they be cut with a knife? Agh >_<

ARCADIAN!!! You'll never guess what I found. I was really bored and was looking around and I found a detailed description of gargoyles! Here's the link Gargoyle Info. I think this should answer every question you have. It might be beneficial for everyone else to take a look at this info as well. Enjoy!
