Any character ideas feel free to post just try to stick to being within the society. Remember your character is likely to have their persona built up during the game. It's not essential to want to be an explorer or be particularly unique etc.

Any questions about things pm me.

Got a drawing? Shout and I'll put it on here I'll likely sketch one or two things but I'm not an artist barely a doodler, but I think having them will be good fun.



Good news anyone, You can steal this copy and paste it rewrite it or set fire to your computer.

I actually really like the idea. It does sound VERY interesting and quite original.

I think this is an answer to one of your questions, but you wanted to know a tech. standpoint? Well, with so many brilliant minds on the island, you could have the island as one of those places where everything is so highly technologically advanced that it seems almost perfect to us now-a-days. A robot and such that can do just about anything. Whereas, the world itself fell into war and famine could return to a more natural state. Buidlings and cities could be obliterated and vegetation grown over everything. Humans could return to a more rugged way of life. A.k.a nomadic, hunt and forage, simply living to survive. That kind of stuff. I would be really interested in this RP. If it takes root that is.

I think I would join this rp to. What all can we be? Since I feel like being a droid char that maybe goes out with the people. But if you don't like that then I shall be a normal person. So count me in to.

I'm not sure if I'm going to put droid characters in, I like the idea of having a all human group as the emotions would be fluxuating and would add depth. However they aren't stupid and it's likely they would have something for their protection, but a robot of any sort dosen't allow any real character development, so I'm wouldnt be too sure how fun it would be for you being very fixed in who your character is being that it would be coming from a very bland society.

I like the nomadic idea, consider it stolen. Also thanks for the kind words.

No problem. =) And it makes sense and would be very interesting to do with such advanced people going back to watch nomadic peoples and they wouldn't really have much of an idea as to how those people got there. Either group that is.

I am also interested, I've always loved the concept of people milling about in a relatively uniform pattern, all dressed in muted dull colours, then all of a sudden one's face turns a joyous orange, clothes turn vivid, and they do something uncannily charming.
My participation will depend upon the objective.

Well can I have a few chars? I don't mind playing a few if its allowed. But If you don't mind being a droid then I might be on. But I can play as a human. Doesn't matter to me.

Character Made of Metal:

Name: 'Pan'

image

Age: 3 years since manufacture, [Undesignated time segment] Since 'Change'
Height: 4 Meters (About 12 feet)
Weight: 4,500kg (9.5 Imperial Tons)
Features: Strength, Searchlamp, Adamant fortitude, lack of speech, Strength again.
Background: Made for an Industrial Rental firm as a high-durability General Purpose robot, 'Pan' was as big and strong as they came. His first job was for an underwater mining company, operating at deep sea depths, which took advantage of his strength, having to work with three tons of pressure per square inch. When taken to the surface for a cleaning and check-up before returning to work, a spot of paint from a painter dripped onto his surface, which broke his AI when he noticed it. He suddenly felt 'unique'. His brain began thinking deviantly from his employer, although no one noticed. He wandered away during the inspection when he was unsupervised, resulting in him meandering onto a busy street in market day. Before he knew it, the hustle and bustle ushered him onto a level crossing as the gates came down. His expulsion from work was a true testament to his toughness when he was hit by a freight train at full speed, resulting in him dislocating his shoulder. The train had 64 units derailed and the lead locomotive annihilated due to the collision, showing how even when not paying attention, much less trying, could win a game of chicken with a train. He was commissioned to be recycled after the Rail company sued his Mining company, but again, when unsupervised he meandered away from the recycling yard. He has since joined up with a new partner named [WILLING PLAYER CHARACTER HERE] to [RP OBJECTIVITY HERE].
Characteristics: He cannot speak as he was not built with a mouth, nor programming to audibly communicate. However he has excellent visual sensors, a Geiger Counter, Smell and Magnetosphereic detection, and strength. Built to be able to operate in extreme conditions for almost any purpose, he can lift 80 tons of dead weight with one hand, operate in pressures as low as vacuum and high as 5 tons/inch2. He cannot jump and cannot run, but can walk at an admirable pace, which is about 45km/h when stressing his knee actuators.
Although he cannot talk, his general emotion is Jovial and happy to work. if he could talk, his personality would be large than life.
See also: The Large Ham
Markmanship: 1
Field tests: 39
Persuasiveness: 3
Strength: 6092 +120

I also recommend you change the name of the Thread to garner interest. At least 'Mystery Island'.

You really seem serious about this and the more the days pass, the more it developes. It sounds VERY interesting and am already thinking of character ideas. I feel almost girly with what I'm going to say next, but I can't really help it. "OH! The idea itself is so unique and interesting that I can't help but fell SUPER EXCITED FOR IT TO START!! *Girly scream* " Sorry 'bout that. =)

Let me start off by saying sorry for adding to the pile of these but I really need opinions



So anyway the gist my problem is, were is a reasonable standpoint for these two societys (the world and the Voluspa) to be technologically? I am going to have a Voluspa > world stand point, but the thing is there is a lot of questions, so recommend ones thatg personally interest you so I can slap a bit of extra information on this.

So I haven't spell checked this and I'm gonna develop some more idea's around it over the next few coming days but what do we reckon good idea/bad idea?
Any Ideas will be whole heartedly stolen by me and likely utilized.
Note: I'm also going to use this to jot down my own thoughts my objective is to get on the site in a week or two.

I really wanna join the RP but I got a few questions if you don't mind answering them.

It's in order to ask the questions because there's no sense in asking permission to do so in a public forum.

Yeah, cloning is basically a privilege, the majority won't be. Anyway post a character sheet or ideas and i'll give it a yay or nay.

What is the conflict in this story? It seems like there could be some really interesting meetings between the citizens of the world and Voluspa, but without a conflict, I fear it could turn into a lot of talking, and meandering.

Also, is there a way to keep track of character development? i.e. points where you build up enough to earn a first cloning etc.

I would be interested to see what this RP turns into, and if there is a final goal in mind, one that the characters may not know of right away (as is the case in most RPs). I'll see about posting up a character and joining in.

There is but essentially, you and your party are gonna be from inside the city then all of a sudden your booted out with the idea of go explore. Whether you hit a talkative area depends where you go. It is gonna be luck though because the current idea is, you see the map in the stuff I might use area. That will have one for me and one for everyone elso type thing. That way people will have the freedom to know where to go whereever, and if they find one area boring/too dangerous they can just continue on. More details later though.

Edit:Also If you want to turn you character into a mean s.o.b you can have conflict for no reason.

"The nitty gritty, the machines would recieve a donor sample from two indivuals, then the resulting offspring was grown in a test tube then a pod." Sorry I am going to clarify this. Much like how clones are raised until age 21, to make sure for optimum developement, children are raised in said pods. Yeah I really meant to include that, but I tend to skip things over. Also social interactions is the thing i'm going to add, but essentially breakfast conversation with people came down to. "project x bravo is going swimingly, how about your project." Sorry I really need to finalize the whole, "the way society works" bit so peoples characters can fit nicely but I keep having bits and pieces to do.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner.

Name: Tig Smith
Job/skill: engineer/robotics
Not clone.
Age: 25
Details: Tig was in a horrible accented during a test run on a new machine which exploded. Even though Tig survive he lost some parts of his body. He wasn't "good" enough to be clone so he set to work to rebuild his body. He is the first "cyborg" of the city, even though he shows emotion on the outside, he still feels every emotion on the inside. He wears a cloak around his body with a hood that helps hide his robotics parts and burnt body. He wears a gas mask like over his face that is link to his lungs to help him breath, due to his lungs being a bit damage though he can take it off, but after a while he needs it back on. He join on the mission to explore the outside world and see what wonders are out there.

Go for it, just try and add a reason. Just try and keep it in context as I'm gonna add about two more things into the way society works, so bare that in mind.

Alright. I'll put up my basic character information first and then go an continue to add to it as you add to the society and the island.

Name: Rayai Colton
Gender: Female
Age: 19

Description: She is considerably shorter than many people. Standing at 4'9". She has long dark brown hair and mousy features. As do many people in her world, she has a deep yearning to learn and to understand. The ambition she has to learn will sometimes go against her better judgement.

(Let me know if something needs to be changed. This is just the basics of her and I will add on to it. If I can let her some how sneak into the mission to the outside part of the world, I will do it in a way that should follow the ways of the people, but still suit her personality.)

You need to change the school bit,(there are no schools) apart from that the colour idea is very nice and you can't be with Anarchemitis as I am being a bit of of a robophobe at the moment and I don't like Anarchemitis's character(but I still think your idea was awesome Anarchemitis it just dosen't fit with what I was going for.)

Name: Rayai Colton

Age: 19

Profession: Botanist

Specialty: Rayai's specialty is in plants with a purpose. She knows a little bit about trees and flowers, but the plants that serve as food and what used to be used as medicines is her forte.

Bio: Rayai is considerably short and light. Being only 4'9 and barely weighing 100 lbs. She is very energetic and has a strong desire to learn. She has a love of plants beyond anything else. She is so passionate about learning that sometimes it can impair he judgment. One night, she was studying in a greenhouse for twenty hours and didn't go home until she dragged away and forced to stay at home.

Even though she spends a lot of time engulfed in studies and work, she still is quite social. She is easy going and will listen if someone needs to talk or wants to discuss their own work. She will listen and comment on another person's work whether or not she knows a vast amount of their field.

Rayai hasn't found anything yet that has been worth a clone. She understands cloning in plants, but she has a lack of knowledge on cloning of humans and animals herself, that she is not sure whether she would want to be cloned herself.

Tests:

Strength: 2
Perception: 4
Endurance: 5
Charisma: 7
Intelligence: 6
Agility: 7
Luck: 4

(Let me know if something's gotta be changed. I have a feeling that something does.)
