I had a really good idea recently. Instead of having a predetermined backstory and back idea, why not start from scratch-Literally? We would start with teh characters and a simple situation, such as a character travelling or in a store or something to that effect. From there, other characters link up as situations evolve, and as these situations rise, history of the universe we are playing in evolves and becomes. It's truely dynamic and I think it's a good way for the NMA writers (Who in my opinion are some of the best damn writers on the internet) to correlate tehir efforts and come up with new ideas.

Don't be afraid to bring something new to the table, but I ask you that when you have a major idea, that you bring it here first in OOC for us to OK, discuss, whatnot.

Yes? No? Rosh's?
 
...I like it. Disgruntaled person goes to store - for milk - gets pissed off... and it goes down! Perfec!

Seriously - Post some more details. What do you want for this rp?
 
He goes to work, and there's a protest going on outside and he gets harrassed. He goes to get his paycheck and he gets fired instead...

That's the beauty of it, though. There are no details until we add them. In teh beginning, we simply have characters and situations. We build the world around them from there. Want Sci=Fi? Sure. Looking for a Western? Let's do it. Just be sure to introduce your characters before adding things.
 
... have you ever played the PC game "POSTAL II"?

I'm in.
Modern would work well for this... "Type" of rp.

Gotta go for the small, mid-western sunny town.

Cheracters

"Smilie" the Vagrent

Poor ole' Smilie has had a rough life. At the ripe old age of 65, he's as tough as the young 'un's (Just a little bit more senile) Smilie, ironically, has but a few teeth. When he smiles, its more of a gaping hole. He can usually be spotted behind the old liquer store, bumming spare change for cheap booze (strong as a young man, Senile as an old man, alcaholic like a true hobo) He is usually spotted in his only set of clothes, a ragged brown sports coat, and an old, tattered pair of pants, that smell like cheap malt liquer, and human... fluids.

"ehh- fuggin little kids, wit they hippy hop music, and they greed. Gimme some change you lil battard!" (Bastard)


Officer Jerry

Officer Jerry is as crooked as they come. Bribes, extortion, murder, crack- he's done them all. Also, he's pretty damn stupid. his IQ hovers somewhere in the mid-70's. He keeps his serious face on at all times, but- most people see that he's not the brightest knife in the forest

"See this?! This IS My serious face!"


Garret the disgruntaled whitecollar worker

Garret... is a workaholic. He has poured his heart and soul into his office job, at a phone company's office complex. Reciently his co-workers have been giving him trouble, his wife has just filed a restraining order, witholding his only child, a little girl, Jessica, His car's transmission has just failed, and his gold-fish, Eric died. A man can only take so much.. Its only a question how long before Garret truly explodes

"Posters?! in a cubical?! What are you, Gay?!"
 
Actually, I saw the XPlay review. I've qwanted to play it, though.

And try to mix it up-Don't make it necessarily MT. Although we can agree to the small-ish town theme in the beginning, eh?

Joey

Joey's the big-city boy by small-town standards. He's used to people being rude and nasty, and always thinks big, and usually thinks about himself. Joey's also an insurance salesman, so he finds ways to manipulate people and has been sent to sell as many policies as he can.

"Those shoes are really nice, Ma'am. Something might happen to them-Wouldn't you want to be compensated for that?"

Sharon

Much of the opposite of Joey, she's from a small town, and going from a small town to a big one, stopping to meet a relative in the same place as Joey-And where Smilie, Jerry, and Garret live. Sharon is fresh out of college, with a Law degree and looking to work Probono.

"It's okay, it wasn't the chair that killed her-Okay, maybe it was, but we can convince the jury otherwise."
 
More friendly faces

Fred the Drug Dealer

Fred... Fred sells drugs. He speaks solely in ebonics, but.... he's as white as wonderbread; and about as smart. With his 8th grade education, he's realy gone far.

"Yo, Snizzle, wanna per-chase some Dopes' shiz eva?"
(Would you like to purchase some good stuff?)

Alex the Parapalegic

Alex is a parapalegic. He... can't walk. He's also the towns local illegal arms dealer. Mac-10's, Ak-47's, Uzi's, Grenades; He's got them all. He's Hard core.
"Guns don't kill people, lead-poisoning does."

Big Bad Leroy Brown

Big Bad Leroy Brown - Meanist man in the whole damn town, Badder than bad, Meaner than a junk yard dog... As the song goes. Leroy... likes to fight, Alot. the catch is... Leroy Brown... can't fight. Infact, He got cut-up like a jig-saw puzzle last time he decided to pick a fight. I mean seriously- he falls under the seventh level of suck- when it comes to hand to hand combat. I mean - honestly! the only way he could kill somebody, is hit them with his car.

"You wanna go?! lets go! Come-on! Be a man! Little punk bitch!"

Parsel the Bubble Boy

Parsel suffers from a rare immune system indeficiancey; rendering him in a bubble; where he lives his life, in a germ free environment. He likes to build airplain models in his bubble, but years of exposure to super-glue fumes have left him... well - illogical... well - more dead braincells than a meth-head on pay-day. He's also an alcaholic. He can usually be found hanging out with his buddy, Smilie, the Hobo.
 
Upon further thought, I've decided that this isn't a completely great idea in its current form.

I'll do some more pondering.
