The Story Guide Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 So, do you guys want me to keep sekrit character sheets or do the public character profiles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Hehe. Speaking for myself, I think I'd like more info on the game...That is, if you're accepting applications. If this is one of those games where spots are given out in PM's and chat, then nevermind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Story Guide Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 I've got six players right now. I'd be willing to take more, but there's a few warnings for this:1) I as an ST don't do well with long pauses between posts. Much of the decision about who to contact regarding joining this game was how often in a day these people post on a regular basis. 2) I'm a hardass as an ST. I am very picky about the characters I let into play and have very strong rules about character creation. I will work with you, but I will not put up with being badgered at all about the character. If I say no to a power, it's a no. I don't care what the book says, I don't care why you think I should let it happen anyways. Dealing with belligerent players is what killed my desire to deal with MCoH. 3) I'm a hardass as an ST. If I get multiple complaints about a -player-, I'm not going to have a long debate or hand out more than one second chance. That's a good part of the reason this is an ST game and not an open world game. 4) I am pretty much the antithesis of a rules lawyer and am not greatly proficient with mechanics. I will ask people for help and their expertise on such things, but once I've made a decision on how something works in my game, I don't care what the book says anymore. I'm a storyteller, not a mathematician. 5) I run mature games. This doesn't just mean sex. In fact it rarely means sex or sexual scenes not initiated by players. This means dark themes, cruelty, and subjects not usually welcome at the dinner table. I'll back off on delving into areas specifically requested by players if it is so disturbing to them as to ruin their gameplay, but I don't much censor my NPC's or the stories told by other PC's otherwise. 6) Everyone gets one appeal to any decision I make. One. And if I let it stand, then that's it. See #2 for specifics.7) This is an extremely low powered game and will not be advancing at the usual rate of games on this board (unless it ends up like DR and explodes all over my plot). This is also a game of tight character themes and no 'everyman' or 'I win' characters. Characters should have weaknesses. Characters should have flaws. Otherwise they are boring and I won't have much for them to do. 8) No one gets to play their normal themes or powersets in this game. If you've played it habitually or are know for a certain type of character, you don't get to play it here. I want different group dynamics and I want people to stretch some as writers and as players. All that being said, I will be willing to take on new players per all the restrictions and caveats above. If you would like to make a character for Children of Heaven, here are the basics:1) 10 NP's, no taint, and everything about your character should tie into itself. This means no wildly divergent power/personality sets. 2) All characters must be approved by me before they are allowed to enter play. Period. 3) You will be making a baseline that has no idea about their power yet. Discovery of powers will be conducted in the preludes. 4) This is not Aberrant, it is only the rules systems. The setting is our current world. Timeline will not stay concurrent, but in general: there are no novas, there was no Galatea, and superheros have only been the comic book variety here.5) People are playing themes and group positions, so please talk to me about your character concept before you make it. I am trying to help people integrate well and create a good unit of characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Story Guide Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 Can I get some response from my players on the public/private character sheets, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn OOC Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I don't care. While it's fun to "spring" stuff on the other PCs, it's also fun for them to tap you privately and say, "Hey, when I do this, it could have this reaction on you. Wanna work with it?" I'm good either way, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Mansfield Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I think we've got a small enough group of characters where knowing each other's powers might be beneficial to interesting storyline development, but at the same time, that mystery/intrigue factor is interesting too. I'm kind of okay with either way as well - I know, I know.. aren't we helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Story Guide Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 So helpful, both of you. Well, okay, I'll say this: I want everyone to make a character profile thread and preface it with the character icon and [Profile]. This must contain: physical description, name you go by, anything anyone could tell about you just by seeing you. You may also include background information, mechanics, pictures, whatever else you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Cormack Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I got my login and Avatar done - I will try to get the other stuff up till monday.Do you have a deadline/when does the game start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Story Guide Posted March 21, 2009 Author Share Posted March 21, 2009 I'd like to have it up and running by April 1st, though I'll start earlier if people are ready. So far I have characters from the following players:JoaniBond/SkienAdrianCarverJasmineForgeWhile I have concepts from most everyone else, I don't have character sheets. This includes:SarahFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Story Guide Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Don't post your profiles until I've approved the character please. Just submitting the sheet to me does not guarantee that I'll approve it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentine Cormack Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 that was not my intention - I remove my post if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Story Guide Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Nope, don't delete stuff. I just didn't want half a dozen character threads going up when only two sheets are approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valentine Cormack Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I guess we can assume that "Saved by the Bell" is over? I could post something but it wouldn't be much more than saying "Yeah, lets do that."I'd prefer moving on to the Preludes. What do you guys think?

Zoey Black Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Sounds good to me. In Zoey's thread I'm assuming that the trio have been meeting for lunch for the last couple days since Saved by the Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa'ne Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 well, it could have moved onto Arby's for further discussion, but I'll just assume a semi-decent level of familiarity when we interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Moss Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 She was running after you, but slipped on your puddle of tears brought about by his unrequieted love. Ya, that's it. Tears of heartbreak and sorrow ... I could just lap them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Story Guide Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Okay, after Zoey warps you guys over to Moira's, I'm moving you guys into chapter 1. For those of you stuck in the time-line waiting line, I'm getting them to you, I promise!For everyone else, I know we have some stuff to deal with (like John's parents/the police showing up), but I'd like to move everyone back to the point of being able to interact (ie Eddie and Xavier). To this end I might be inserting 'time jump' ST posts that fiat some of the interactions. I'm going to try not to, but that depends on people posting quickly and covering a good amount of ground in their posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z-Wakiki Izumi Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Eddie just needs a plane flight, so I'm good with ST fiating Eddie to the action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Story Guide Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 My apologies guys, there's going to be a short delay.

Moira Fitzgerald Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Okay, Mala did inform me that Moira will only be out for a few seconds, so I'll leave it open for response till tonight, and then post from there. If you respond, make it only be what your character could do in the space of a few seconds or so (like Forge did - IE no picking her up and carrying her to the couch or anything.).

The Story Guide Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 I'm in finals week, so I'm a little scarce right now. Would people like me to fiat us ahead a bit, or let the conversation continue until I'm out of tests? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa'ne Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I would prefer to let the conversation proceed at least a little ways, seeing as this is the first time we (most of us) are together. The RP we do here can be the basis for interactions later, first impressions and all that social nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
