The NR RP had a good run. Here's another from the mind of Quin.
This RP is based on one on a now-dead board I was on a year or so ago. It was a good play before it died with the forum.
Essentially, your character(s) receive a letter that draws everyone together at one specific place, which turns out to be a base for a waiting mercenary-type group to be formed. Which you become a part of. Within this base you sleep, eat, train, upgrade weapons, buy stuff, etc.
Most importantly, you are assigned quests for your character(s) to embark upon. These can range from the classic escort mission, to assault, to the clichéd save the princess/village/castle/ect, to infiltration and espionage gathering. Anyone can go, but you can choose not to. There can be multiple quests going on at the same time (which might lead to multiple threads so no one gets confused).
You can drop out of a quest anytime you want, whether your character(s) are in mortal danger, you’re needed back at the base due to a quest calling for your character’s specialty (more on that later), or whatever. However, you do not get the reward for completing the quest or reimbursed for the stuff you used/lost during it.
Lastly, every member of the Guild gets a special crystal that lets them receive messages from the Base and allow them to warp back to it. Members within the base can also track where everyone is via the crystals and such. They cannot, in their current form, serve as walkie-talkies between characters in the field.
Moving onto characters, you’re allowed a maximum of two. They can be from wherever you want, within boundaries of course. And let’s say that, unless the characters are from the same game or whatever, they don’t know each other. Doesn’t matter what weapon they use. Swords, guns, frying pan, deck of metal cards. Usually, I would prefer if everyone would create their own character from scratch, but I’ll allow exceptions this time.
As long as the characters are not godmodding (if you don’t know what that is, don’t play) have reasonable equipment, among others I don’t think I have to say, and follow the following template, I don’t think we’ll have a problem.
The only character I can think of at the moment that I will not allow is Kirby or variations thereof. I don’t have anything against him, but he’s too adaptive for this RP and one of the things is cooperation between everyone. He could just transform into something and lay waste to whatever comes his way, if you get where I’m coming from.
That said, template:
| CODE |
[b]Name:[/b] [b]Occupation/Class:[/b] [b]Species:[/b] [b]Physical Description[/b]: [b]Specialties:[/b] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] [b]Weapon(s):[/b] [b]Weapon Description:[/b] [b]Items:[/b] [b]Misc. Abilities:[/b] [b]Personality:[/b] |
Name: Name of character.
Occupation/Class: Essentially, what best describes what your character does. Technician, swordsmen, gunslinger, etc.
Species: Human, Goomba, Octorock, Hylian, Monster, inanimate object, Sylux. You get my drift.
Physical Description: What the character looks like.
Specialties: What your character specializes in. Preferably two, no more than three. Stuff like Swordplay, hacking, accuracy, tactics, commanding, leadership, etc.
Weaknesses: Try to have around three in here. Whatever your character fails in. Don’t list things that no one can actually do. Stuff like courage, close-combat, water, light, 42.
Weapon(s): The weapons your character uses. I’m allowing more than one, but don’t go overboard. Keep it balanced. No A-Bomb launcher and disintegrator ray. Max of three, that includes functions of the same weapon.
Weapon Description: Optional, but if you want you can describe your weapons.
Items: The items your character carries from the start. Remember that you’re actually storing these things somewhere on your character. Everyone gets the Crystal upon joining the Guild, so don’t bother listing it.
Misc. Abilities: What else can your character do? Do not go overboard here. I’m giving you a free hand.
Personality: What’s your character like? You’ll be acting in character for the rest of this RP, so it might be good to lay it out now.
There’s going to be a bit of an intro for those who join first where we all discover the base and such. But we’re going to wait for several people to join. Then I’ll “issue” the letter and we’ll get this thing started.
Unless… we make the base a space station and we just randomly get transported up to it. How’s that sound?
That said, here’s my character.
Name: Quin Kylar
Occupation/Class: Sniper/Technician
Species: Bipedal Fox (Anthropomorphic, if you have to be technical)
Physical Description: Looks a bit like Tails, but has no relation and fur coloration is darker. Only one tail. 5-foot 6. Wears a Link hat with ears sticking through it. Green short-sleeved shirt, deeper green cargo pants. Dark silver, fingerless gloves with matching gauntlet that protects entire forearms.
Specialties: Sniping, Computers
Weaknesses: close-combat, leadership, doesn’t like fighting
Weapon(s): Tri-Function Sniping CrossLaser.
Weapon Description: Looks like a blackish-blue metal crossbow with the draws pulled tight. No string, but a sort of energy bolt accelerator. Bolts are generated within seven chambers that rotate as the weapon is fired. Little less than a foot long. Strapped to left forearm. Has a scope on top. Weapon contains three functions that determine what is fired and how long the recharge rate is. Lowest is a dull electric blue bolt that stuns. Recharge rate is about two seconds Mid-level is bright electric blue and causes electrical burns. Ten second recharge rate. Takes several shots to kill target. High mode is Snipe mode. A two foot beam of energy fires. Can kill in one shot. Recharge rate is one minute. Weapon recharges from Quin’s innate Thunder element. As modes are changed, more is drawn or emptied from/into his Aura. Switching down from a fully charged Snipe to Stun can result in an Overload and reveal position due to the various properties of electricity.
Items: Hylian Shield to be equipped on right arm, but in much deeper tones. Gauntlet on right arm hides a small computer capable of hacking.
Misc. Abilities: Has a Thunder Element, but cannot do anything more than recharge the CrossLaser, have compasses point at him, and have electrical properties of iron. (i.e. he can get stuck to magnets. More of a curse than a gift.) His eyebrow has nothing to do with tidal waves or the apocalypse. He’s also rather good at thinking up stuff to be invented, though he’s terrible trying to invent them.
Personality: Quirky, eccentric, and extremely sarcastic, Quin usually reveals his mind through sarcasm and quips most of the time rather than flat out stating his mind. However, he tries his best to keep others on track, usually failing, even if he himself has trouble keeping his mind on the task at hand. He personally doesn’t like fighting, and prefers to be as far away from it as possible. The only reason he’s a sniper is because not only does he have a great sense of aim, it gives him that excuse.
You don’t have to be as long as I was; I naturally go into detail without realizing it.
Like I said, we’ll wait a bit for others to join. In the meantime, if anyone has ideas for missions, PM me or just post here. If you want to be the bad guy, PM me and we’ll talk it over.

Anyway, you all are free to create a second character anytime you want. But I'm going to wait another day before we start. Mostly because I'm still working on the letter. *sweatdrops*
Hold on for a little bit more. Thanks.

The two dough boys and the rabbit head are his "friends" so to speak.

He argues with the doughboys and talks with the bunny head about anything.
names:
B-head: Nail Bunny
Dough boy 1(has "Z?" printed on it's chest): Psycho Doughboy
Dough boy 2: Mr. Fuck(Mr. Eff for short)
Yeah. My character is based off of this:

@neko: As long as you primarily use magic or the knives, I won’t have a problem. Like you’re mainly a mage, but have the knives just in case. Other than that, Accepted. Just which account are you using, though?
@Sem: Yeah, the images will work. Hammer’s good, just don’t overpower it. Only problem is the powers. I’ll accept minor healing, curing and a weak light barrier that can absorb blasters, not so much with the hurting baddies. Unless you use it as a high-powered flashlight and just kill their eyes. That is always possible. Modify that bit and Accepted.
@Snipe: *Blink* *blink* *blink* *facedesk* Use the nickname. This will be very…. interesting.
Moving on… Let’s start this thing with the letter and my part. Onwards and downwards, eh?
| QUOTE (Letter) |
To whom it may concern, I cannot discuss any specific details within this letter, in case it is intercepted before it reaches your hands. Provided it does so, you have received it because you are in possession of a unique set of skills. Whatever they may be, I am proposing employment to you. If you accept, you shall be rewarded with adventure, action, mystery, suspense, thrills, and, of course, a handsome profit to carry you through. If you are interested, report to NR Square at 6 AM sharp to reap the most of the job. Others who have received similar letters should be there as well. Your future coworkers, if you want to view it as that. If you are late for various reasons, you are still qualified, but you may miss certain things. I await your arrival. Good luck. |
Quin leaned back around a corner to check the time off a clock in the distance—5:40—and double checked the letter. He was fifteen minutes early and the only one he could see in the small, dark square.
His eyes gleamed in the light of the flickering, crooked solitary street lamp. NR Square wasn’t exactly in the bad side of town—the entire town’s gone down the drain. At one time, it was probably the shining example of what a city should be. But attacks from Space Pirates, of all things, and an uprising in crime made it, like all the cities on this planet, not the best place to live if you didn’t know how to look after yourself. It’s so bad, no one even knows the real name of the city.
Perking his ears, he slowly walked into the middle of the square, tail flicking anxiously behind him. A quick glance told him his crossbow like weapon was set on Blaster and fully charged.
Resisting the urge to yawn, he hid in the shadows of what once was a sculpture of some sort—it seemed to be a large rocket of some sort that had fallen on its side. He silently wrapped the long tail of his hat loosely around his face, hiding the whites and oranges of his face, blended into the shadows, and waited for others to arrive.
(OoC: Quick reminder, use ()’s to say things out side your character's bit of the RP. OoC (Out of Character) is not really necessary.
Now that the figurative train wreck’s started, it’s time for some fun, no? For those who still want to join in, post your bio and I’ll approve it as fast as I can so you can join in. Latecomers are accepted, you just can join in quests underway. Secondary characters for everyone who have joined already are still open.)

Karg was down at the Flower Shop. Although it was a Flower Shop, it was still a bad place to be. Each of the flowers were beautiful...but in a poisonous way. Like the ever-so-common Gigantic Venus Fly Trap that could eat you if it wanted to.
Anyways, Karg was at the register, looking down at the scrawny salesclerk who looked back at him in fear. Karg's head touched the ceiling even when he was kneeling down on both knees.
You're probably wondering why Karg was in here. Well, every day of the week, excluding weekends, he would randomly wander into the Flower Shop and stare at the salesclerk for hours. For those hours, no one dared to enter the Flower Shop. This amused Karg only slightly.
Suddenly, a beeping noise interrupted the intense staring contest, and Karg exitted the Flower Shop. As he did so, a gush of wind swept the streets, and a paper went flying into Karg's face. He peeled the paper off the side of his face and stuck it to a prick on his hand.
Then, something amazing came over Karg. He couldn't read. He only knew what places looked like, which is how he comes upon the Flower Shop every day. Although, the letter mentioned NR Square. So, instinctively, the giant cactus started walking towards the NR Square.

Sylux was busy walking down the open street. As little kids passed by, Sylux handed them tiny little Nintendo Rocket advertisements.
"Here you go, kind ones," Sy said happily, handing out the advertisements to the little kids. He walked on as he saw the kids walk off.
He turned the corner and saw a poster on the wall. It was the letter. Sy read it in interest, then grinned.
"Ooh, rewards!" he said happily, before hopping away to the NR square.

(@Quinkilo: I'll be using my Zelda_chan account XD. and about Kairi, u were right. she's mainly a mage, but the knives are just a precaution)
Kairi quickly glanced over the letter once more. She was excited, and quite nervous, to meet her possible "co-workers" that the letter had described. Having just finished her magic training, she was ready to start taking quests of her own.
She approached NR square, looking around. There weren't many people around, so Kairi was sure she would figure out who else had received the letter. She sighed, trying to calm herself down as she waited for the others to arrive.
