I believe I've already explained what this mission is going to be, so I'll just reiterate this bit: it involves both stealth and fighting elements along with the occasional getting-over-an-obstacle thing platformers seem to have a lot.

Storm, was it revealed that your character was a droid during that exposition? I would assume so.

So yesterday I was at work and stayed up late because I thought today was going to be a day off, but I got called in anyway, and spent the rest of the day in one of those confusing dazes where you just fall in and out of sleep because you didn't really want to sleep but your body gave you no choice in the matter.

So I'll reply tomorrow when I'm not using half my brain power to figure out what day it is. :p

Alright, time for a rollcall for this new story, which I shall call "Leg Day".

So far we have the following PCs about to be involved (speak out if that's not actually the case):
  • Macy
  • Victor
  • Calani
  • Mathias
  • Devine
  • Samantha

Assuming that everyone on this list is participating and that the new arrivals will get new rooms, we're good to go then?

Calani and Devine are just closing up the story they were on - I'll make it more explicit in the next post or two. Mathias is still onboard.

I thought Macy already had a room? And I figured story took precedence over new room, NVE's char could settle in when he comes back.

Obviously Macy already has a room. She hasn't left the Building, just ended up stuck in the basement and deactivated for months. Anyways, I'm going to come up with a post once I get NVE's permission to set up the setting.

Hey man, great to have you here! No need to bring a resume, we accept anyone who wants to have fun and can follow the basic rules. What kind of character did you have in mind?

I intended upon creating a very evil character, perhaps a corrupted human or spirit, tyrannic and controlling, manipulative and machiavellian. Perhaps, to add more layers, it could have a kind spark within it that could be lit, but that seems to sort of take away from the character.

An outright villain will not work for your main playable character. Although we of course have characters with morally questionable layers to them, we are a primarily slice-of-live/adventure camaraderie game that requires a character to be able to interact peaceably with others. We also don't tolerate characters whose primary goal is to "out-evil" everyone—it's a shallow and unimpressive pursuit that inevitably results in godmoding. See Emperor McBadass.

In that case, my character will be a bit toned-down: still deceitful and quite cruel, but able to form relationships if pushed to it. Basically a less impulsive sociopath.

Deceitful and a capacity for cruelty is fine, but understand that nobody is going to chase your character down and try to drag them off on a ride of friendship. He must have motivation of his own to forming relationships, even if that motivation is cold and impersonal. Also, we don't abide by casual atrocities—trying to have your character kidnap an innocent off the street to torture to demonstrate how ~evil~ he is will result in him being punished by the CoOP tool characters. We allow a nearly endless variety of characters, but we hold them to realistic standards and consequences; this is no place for power fantasies. You'd have to be clever about how to play his personality without crossing that line.

Think you could provide a basic outline of what you're going for? I know the official app is a bit daunting, so we'll save that for later.

As I said, I'm going for a less impulsive sociopath, who's extremely calculating and doesn't care about other people except for himself except in rare circumstances. I realise that it's hard to do a character like this, but I believe that it's worth the challenge as a more complex and 3D character is better for the RP experience. What I'm trying to go for exactly is just someone with a stone heart. Not really a villain, but more the type of guy who'd become a corrupt police officer or a business executive. His specific beliefs are that mankind is naturally evil and generally carries some part of cynicism when it comes to the wider world around him, as he only cares about the here, the now and the future.
