VARSITY ROW - APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP GOGAPP Name: Cresadine How Long Have You been RP'ing?:Three years, on a different account, actually my three-year-anniversary was just a few days ago. Why do you RP?: I am a mega-geek and a self-described literati so I enjoy creating different plot-lines, characters, and worlds. Roleplaying also helps me practice my writing, and when you are RPing your stories actually get to interact with other people's stories - so I get practice and have fun. Preferred Genres: I love Medieval GOT-esque situations, however I like for them to be in a different world so that the lore can be crafted by the players as a group and not relying on some already established canon. I like Fantasy Adventure-type roleplays. I also enjoy School-RPs, God RPs and Coming-of-Age Stories. In any genre however, I like for there to be intensive drama, and character dynamics. Whenever I do roleplay I like to be able to craft the lore, and have complex character relationships. I also, when given the chance, like to create religions for the RP and if playing as made-up nation/culture I like to throw in the use of the Conlang I've been working on. OP experience? (Y/N): Yes My Roleplaying Strengths Are: When OPing I usually am good at organizing everything and setting it up, but I get stressed after a while and find it hard to continue managing everything. When roleplaying I usually am good at writing in descriptive language and adding detail about my characters opinions, and backstory. I really enjoy developing characters, plot arcs and storylines that induce mass-drama. I am a stickler for drama, if you cannot tell by now. Name of Sponsoring Member, If Any: 'Natta RP Examples: No real solid posts from this account, though I do have a few apps. Petwora App Petwora Post Lavell App If need be I can write up a short post about a topic of your choice to prove my worthiness if these do not suffice.

Well, that was a stressful week and a half. Apologies for slow activity everyone, real life caught up right as a lack of writing direction hit me. Let's start over by drafting up some potential ideas for stories we have, aye?

I haven't! What similarities would you be referring to?

Officially Accepted! If you like coming-of-age stories, I have quite a few in need of re-boot and elaboration
Gimme the run-down on the conlang, I'm curious and a bit of a linguist nerd myself

A small secluded government made town for a certain type of people (Genius's in the show Psychics in the RP), a officer of the law comes to the town and becomes the sheriff. (In the show he was a Marshall, then became the sheriff after helping with an incident on the way through.) And incidents happen that the sheriff helps to solve.

That's quite similar, you're right

I've actually never heard of it, so I'm glad that apparently others like the idea as well somewhat Mine seems like a bubblegum-Toonami version, but still a somewhat similar concept

I found another one!

A little bit of background: I am a student of linguists and cuneiform (I am particularly interested in Sumerian - and Old Near East languages) and as a project for my class we had to research different linguistic features and how different languages express meanings. I got a good grade, and ever since (for about a month or so) I have been working on this on and off.

So basically the language, at its essence right now it is somewhat agglutinative, in which words that modify a noun, pronoun or verb are attached as either suffixes and prefixes (like instead of "the red house" it would be "theredhouse.") Words are declined in nine cases, three levels of humancy (Human, Non-Human, Divine) and six numbers.

I have yet to tackle verbs which will be a difficult task.

ayyy ancient near-east pals

That sounds intriguing though! Verbs would be pretty confusing, but very possible I'm sure

Right now I am just trying to work out whether I should have different Levels of Humancy for all nouns or just for certain ones.

[Aona]

From a quick glance, I'd say Humancy levels should have a bias towards more formal or significant nouns. Seems more ceremonial and realistic, though I'm not sure if you have a culture associated with it yet.

Hmm I see what you mean. Originally I was thinking that Humancy would correlate with the actual object. But I think it would be a lot more simple to just assign them culturally.

For a culture I have yet to come up with something, though I think a highly reverential/superstitious culture would be appropriate.

That's a good idea, yea

Personally, I'm partial to Mesopotamian-styled cultures, which certainly is agreeable with your field I'm sure

I don't necessarily feel like it needs to be Mesopatamian based, certainly it could draw influences from Mesopatamia, but an overt analogue would not be preferable.

Oh for sure. I was just saying that some nods to certain cultural aspects in regards to architecture or music would work well, imo

Oh yes, definitely of course.

Alright, heres an Rp pitch that is completely open to edits or suggestions from anyone

Chicago is a rough place as it is, gangs and crime run rampant alongside corrupt politicians who stand only for reelection. To make matters worse, this version of Chicago is one where humans have evolved alongside vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other beasts of the night who prey upon them. This is a story about survival.

Or rather, the 32nd precinct in downtown Chicago and the police and detectives who staff it. Their problems include the paperwork involved with the war on the demonic, dealing with inept glory seekers who cycle through as their CO, dispersing stoner vampires and werewolves who just decided to light one up behind a Chili's, and, occasionally, helping run a sting operation to blow the lid off the underground gnome trafficking network.

In a premise where Supernatural meets Brooklyn 99, the most normal cops you could possibly imagine are dropped into a world of magic and mystery, and completely accept their true position on the food chain.

That sounds amazing. I could help with world-building if you wish.

Guys.

Seraphim.

Fantastic, the goal of the lore, in the end, is just to make it as commonplace as general history is today. We have our kids recite the presidents, this world does the same......with the Elven Kings, Human Presidents, and Demonic Oligarchy

[Relikai]

Ok.

So Seraphim has been condemned despite efforts to keep it going...?
