The Way Forward; A GATE RP [OOC] [OPEN]

[Bentus]

-snip-

Yep, we talked about that beforehand - sorry for the scare. As for the NPC rule - I'll of course defer to OP and Co-OP rule - but how strict are we being really? I fully understand that we should not be using NPC's as a way to bypass the char application process or to run with more characters that we should, but to have to wait for an OP response to interact with an NPC in any way seems a bit prohibitive imho. For instance, in my posts I've had Osira talk with faceless, single-post-or-so-involved Imperial Soldiers and the retired General who accompanied her to the site. Would that be overstepping my bounds?

Again, ultimately the decision rests with you guys and I'll toe the line, but wanted to put up my $0.02 :3

Let me stop you, if this is following the anime, then closer to 100,000 imperials died in the first battle.

Also only Sheri's left arm is skeletal and covered in black flames. The rest looks perfectly human. Albeit one that hasn't seen much daylight.

It's probably not near that high since our forces aren't as big as in the anime, either. For example, we don't have artillery support.

I stopped being sexually attracted to anything that wasn't military hardware at a very young age.

Good? Don't get aroused by corpses, no matter how lively they are. And I was referring to firepower wise.

O-oh. Yeah I knew that, I was uh. I was just joking. Yeah.

Well it's official. Our characters just got shipped.

I'm concerned.

In other news, who are you shipping Tori with? I'm curious.

[Ormata]

Currently waiting on Reverend Norv to dismiss me and Vahl (Or something).

Other than that, dinna know what to do.

There are a few.

Dunno if that's a good thing or no.

It's neither to me.

Hey, I just opened up a new roleplay, if you guys want to check it out. It's less fantasy, more alternate-history: https://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=394620. Join if you want; the more, the merrier!

As with everything, there is a gray area. If the NPC lasts all of one post, is not given any sort of name or depth beyond a basic appearance and personality description, then it's fine.

What I do not want is people saying that their character is in charge of a whole squad or has a buddy that follows them everywhere and operates like they do and only is with their PC. That's a no-no.

Here's a question.

Any chance of me giving control of Chag'Marah Doru over to the Mods (And him thereby becoming an NPC) and me making a new native?

[Vahltunskhja]

If he hasn't done much you could just disappear him.

I could but instead of deleting him I'd rather the OPs have another tool to play with.

[Novaya Equestria]

I think it's taking a lot for me to make a high-quality post.

[Zjaum]

So, when will I get accepted? I have made the necessary change.

[Vahltunskhja]

Hey Bentus, would you mind if I work the Green Priests into a character backstory? Though if they don't operate outside of the World Forest or their practises are different from what I'm aiming for I'll just use some obscure druidic order or some such.

I would love it They do operate quite a bit outside of the world forest in an effort to gather as much knowledge as possible for the Talland, gaining passage as employed communicators, teachers or the like Or at least that's the rough idea I've spit balled so far. If you would like, hit me up with a tg and we could hash things out further and run it by the OP?

I'm curious how well they would work with Sherianna, as far as I can tell they have very similar goals.
