a potential(ly AWESOME) multiplayer-centric roleplay group, anyone?

[underdebate]

I've been rolling this around in my head since exams finished and I wanted to throw it up here just to see how many people might be interested!

So like, who doesn't make up stories in their head for all the characters they play in multiplayer. (That said: who doesn't actually play multiplayer, and does it anyway? Come on, guys.) And based on the

I have never RPed before. I have only a passing idea of how this thing works. But I would be interested.

That's also okay! <3 (I should probably also specify that we're not excluding people who don't have roleplay experience as well as multiplayer experience. Come in, dork around, make some friends/frenemies and save the galaxy.)

*raises hand,* whoops.
I haven't played a match since they introduced the Biotic GOD volus characters (I can't help it, they shatter the immersion into a thousand tiny pieces for me) but I still fiddle with the headcanons on all of my previous MP characters every once in a while.

This isn't something typical for me as I've never RP'd before, but I'd be interested in trying something new. And back when MP was announced, I always fantasized that something like this would happen on LJ, since it does seem the perfect place. It'd probably be pretty fun to lurk if participation doesn't work out for me.

The volus kill me. Like, I just. I cannot. We might have to make up rules if someone's going to play a volus, I'm just saying.

Since it'll be run comm-style (and I've gotten the impression that a lot of people have never roleplayed before but REALLY want to try it), there'll probably be a way to sort of softly introduce yourself into it-- as mentioned in comments above, there'll likely be weekly prompts, which is a great jumping-off point. We'll do situation-based prompts (like "X AND Y ARE IN BIG TROUBLE, tell us how they get out of it"), but probably also character-introspection type prompts (like "tell us about the scariest thing X went through this week"). That way you can make a post and talk about it, either from their perspective or in third-person, and it gives other people's characters the chance to start a conversation with yours re: the prompt, which is always a lot of fun.

So YEAH. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see as someone who hasn't roleplayed before, totally do share!

Call me RP curious. Never really tried it before and I might lurk more than talk but I'd be willing to check it out. I don't have a super strong head canon for any of my MP characters except a joke one for my vorcha, Joe. He's a working class merc with an odd couple living arrangement with a hanar and a pet varren.

omg jesus they sound so cute, aah. Lurkers are totally welcome! And if something strikes your interest, you'd be more than welcome to pop in for a little while and then quietly fade back into lurker mode as you pleased.

I haven't RPed in years and rarely have an interest in doing so, but this could be cool. :) I'm on MP a lot anyway.

Fantastic! <3

Sounds interesting! I would love to do it, but I would have to think about character~
