Top Gear Character RP (OOC & Planning)

[Euro-Trash]

Hello and Welcome to What I Am Hoping Will Become a Memorable, Well-Rounded, and Fully Completed Role-Play. First, Let Me Take a Short Amount of Time to All Nations for Reading This and (Hopefully) Becoming Interested After I Go Over Details in a Bit. Next, I Would Like to State That I Am Only Willing to Accept Good Role-Players and Writers with Either a Deeply-Rooted History or, More Like Myself (With this Nation At Least), A Nation with a Shorter Yet Still Over-Average Post Quality. However, if You Can Prove that You Are a Nation Working Towards Bettering Your Role-Playing, I Will Let You In. Although, Honestly, I Cannot Think of Anything Convincing Myself. Moving on to the Actual Thread and Characters...

The Actual Thread is Based off of the Popular BBC Program Top Gear. The Show, Hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, is a Whole Program Focused on Testing Cars and Automobile-Related Subjects. In this Thread, I Propose that the Members of this RP Attempt to Create a Similar Scenario. The Accepted Nations will Join Me on a Test Across the Nationstates Automobile Manufactures and Create Odd Tests and Reviews Based on made-Up Events. If You're Interested, the Application Form is Below:

[Junkyland]

Previous RPs: Zombie Apocalypse Survival, Zombie Survival, and The White Knight Virus. (I am also the maker of all these threads.)

Name: Shawn Oscan

Nickname: “The Buddhist Punk” (Don’t ask….)

Age: 24

Eye Color: Dark Blue

Hair Color/Style: Dirty blonde hair and an emo/heavy metaller hair.

Skin Tone/Color: Normal skin tone with a slight tan.

Height: 5 foot, 7 inches

Weight: 168 pounds

Nationality: Junkyland

Affiliation: Local family mechanic shop.

Biography: Born in Middleton County, Junkyland, Shawn grew up in big city. He spent most of his days working with his dad and 19 year old brother at a family-ran auto repair shop and practicing his electric guitar. In high school, he started a band with his friends and played lead guitar. He was known as "The Buddhist Punk".When he graduated, he tried to go to the big times but was shot down by a big record company. After that, his band members went their separate way, leaving Shawn alone. No where else to turn, he went back to his family’s mechanics shop.

[Euro-Trash]

Alright, thanks for signing up, Junkyland. So we officially have enough people for this thread. I want to start this thread soon, and hit the ground running from there. Now, since the point of this show is to test cars creatively, I figure at least two of us should write a review of a car designed by a Nationstates Automobile Corporation. These interviews should answer the tough, needed to know questions like, "Is it Economical?" and "How well can it handle Rogue Pianos falling from the sky?" The third should then do something interesting with the cars that we plan to test. Something like Top Gear's infamous "Caravan Conkers" or "Car Darts?"

Now, several questions remain, such as the following:

What is the name going to be?

Are we going to have interviews with famous celebrities and have them drive "A Reasonably Priced Car?"

Are we going to test cars on our studio track with a mystery driver like "The Stig?"

Any questions that I didn't ask that need to be you can post. Now, who's designing the "Interesting Event of the Week" and who's going to do the Car Reviews. I'd be willing to do the last job remaining. Just tell me the car you plan to review. If you're going to give a bad review, then please TG the owner of the company and me to inform us of this. All good?

[Albundania]

For the record, the Albundanian based Lewards Auto Company is willing to provide cars for the show. No ideas on what we should call it, though. Maybe "Three dumbasses blowing cars up" would do it.

Least Favorite carL Morris Mar.. ( can;t pronounce it without the need to vomit.)
strengths: Mucking about
Weaknesses: being serious and not using explosions in almost every scene

ps can we begin??

Alright, I find several things wrong with your application. First being you filled out something completely random, second is that I said no cars IRL, and the third being you really have no RPing experience and didn't list any. Correct these, and you're good to go. As for the name "Three Dumb Asses Blowing Up Cars," we could merely Shorten it to the "The Car Asses?"

[Junkyland]

"The Car Asses?"

Even better.

[Albundania]

Indeed. Well played Euro.

[Hogusho]

is it better now?? i dont ave any role playing exp, but I can act pretty well

[Euro-Trash]

is it better now?? i dont ave any role playing exp, but I can act pretty well

No, you still haven't figured out what is going on. You've got some nice superfluous stuff but you haven't given me an Affiliation and a Biography! And if you have no experience, do you honestly feel you belong here? It's not an insult, but you just have no experience! If you feel you belong here and can prove yourself competent, then you can join. However, one more badly submitted application, and you're gone. Get it?

[Exetonia]

Previous RPs: None on nationstates unfortunately. However I do have over 8 years of pbem/pbf roleplay experience.
Name: Alexander Leopald Jones
Nickname(s): Oil Slick
Age: 38
Eye Color: blue
Hair Color/style: Jet black
Skin Tone/Color: Caucasian
Height: 6ft 3 inches
Weight: 147 lbs
Nationality: Exetonian
Affiliation: Exetonian Automag. Ex profesional open top racer, rally driver and saloon racer.

Biography: Born to rather well to do parents in the country of Croydonia on the Exetonian continent, Alexander had everything going for him. At the age of four, his parents bought him his first go-kart and by the age of 8 he was winning various junior mini cups around the Exetonian continent. At 14 (before he could drive legally on the Exetonian road network), Alexander drove his first open top racer (an Exetonian Formula Ex7 car). At 16, he finished third in the Trans Exetonian Foirmula EX7 amateur calender owing to his win or crash trying attitude. At 19, he made the transition to Exetonian touring car racing, racing for the Truronian based Blitz amateur team for his first two seasons before switching to EFFM Starz for his third. At 24, he won the Exetonian Touring cup with EFFM Starz, becoming the first person to do so and getting self noticed by Excell 2K (who, until 4 years ago, ran teams in the Formula EX1 through 4 open top categories.) Welcomed back to open top racing as an amateur in the EX4 cup, Alexander showed his winning side again taking the crown at his first attempt. He was the promoted by the team in susequent seasons to Excell 2K's Exetonia Formula EX1 team. At the age of 33, Alexander took the Ex1 championship by storm and became the oldest champion at the time. He took the decision to retire whilst on top of his game and used his career earnings to found the shortlived AlexPro rally team which he managed and drove for. Following an accident aged 37 during the Rally de Mount Croydon, Alexander liquidated the rally team and began focussing his motorsport interest on the field of journalism.

Superfluous Information: Would Probably be the shows equivalent of the stig, perhaps with a spoken part (but only if spoken to.) He wears a black balaclava to hide his identity and uses a micro processor within it to diguise his voice.

Exactly what I was looking for in an Application. Despite having no previous NS RPing skill, I'm going to allow you.

[Euro-Trash]

So then, I'm officially considering Hogusho out of this thread, moving on! I've also officially settled on the name "Motorcars," infamously know as "The Car Asses." So, we're going to need to do an episode soon, and each of us need a car to review and, quite possibly, subject to a challenge. Now, I've compiled a list of several Automobile Companies below:

Automobile Companies

Hillman Motors

Shaf Motors, Inc.

VLT Automotive Group N.V.

Forza Automotive Factory

Now, I say our first show features the Newest Sports Cars and F1 Cars these companies have to offer, and then all compete in several different obstacles. Post on this thread the car you're going to review before the Challenges, then buy a singular Automobile of that type for the show, stating it is for our show. Afterward, either I or someone else will design the challenges. However, if everyone submitted a good idea, that would be epic!

Now, I, myself, am calling dibs on the VLT Alzette manufactured by the VLT Automotive Group N.V.

Alright, cool! You're in! What car are you going to review?

[Scalietti]

I think I will review the Forza S8R. It is in the same class as the Alzette and almost identical in price and performance so it should be a great rival.

[Albundania]

We're going to grab the R12 GT1, also by Forza.

[Exetonia]

I'm going to grab the Hillman Hunter 3.6 from Hillman motors

[Euro-Trash]

OK, so if Everyone Doing this Thread has Selected an Automobile, We Should Start Writing and Submitting Our Reviews of Our Selected Cars. Now, Remember, Please be Creative in Your Reviews and Don't do Anything too Insane. That is for the Challenges. So, Write One and Post it on Here. I'll Review it, Edit it, and then Create the Show's First Shows and it's Own Thread.

[Albundania]

Coolio. Get to work on that in a few minutes.
