So. You were so amped about a new RP. But it died. Sad feels. Yet again.
How many posts did it get to before 'ye olde RP fizzled-out-enthusiasm-death-rot' killed it this time? 5? 10? Didn't even get the first post out and the sus GM and/or RPers abandoned it?! Really?! Some other reason altogether?! Wait. No. A whole shwack-load of RP-killing reasons this time?! Again?!
Hmph. I can say I'm not surprised. It happens. It always happens don't it? So here you are again with a freshly crafted OC ready to go and, yet again, they go nowhere. Muse lain to waste, RP is dead in the water after all that build up... so why the hell do we write extensive backstories again...?!
Right. Well, fear not, friends!! For this is the pseudo-RP your literally-born-into-the-grave-charries have been seeking all their non-starter lives!! In this up and coming thread you will be able to post whatever it is you wanted to get offa your chest regarding your charrie!!
'Some Kinda' Sequiter.'
Hi!!
Welcome to Some Kinda' Sequiter!!
This is a psuedo-RP that is more of a free roam/solo post idea whereby you have the opportunity to roleplay any old charrie of yours that you never got a chance to play out due to RP death or just cuz reasons! The point of this thread will be for each poster to RP out something their charrie would have done in the world/setting of the RP for which they were made. Note that a big focus will be payed to their background or motivation when posting.
K so you know how it goes: follow RPN rules, keep the posts sexy-tme free, content between PG and rated R, respect each other, have fun and all that. Oh! Now the other thing about posting IC'ly; Please just drop in the OOC afterwards and let everyone know that you posted to be friendly. I'll drop a heart on your post to let you know that I read it k. Actually let's get everyone to drop some cookie-love on all IC'ly posts lol
Oh and don't worry about what we used to call 'Ninja-ing' like when two people happen to post as the exact same time. All goods k? The next person will have TWO posts to be inspired by! lol Lucky lucky! Oh and as of now there is no 'post cool-down' since its just started but of course, no double-posting... buuuuut then again, that may change depending on how many RPers are actively posting.
Oh! And: Yes, we always OPEN!!

The Catches/Rules.
-
Here are some catches/rules to keep us grounded:
○ | First catch is that your charrie has to be an Original Charrie. No matter the genre or even if they come from a canon world, they must be of your own making and designs.
○ | Second catch is that this is an ADV/LIT RP. K so like there is a word count requirement. 300 Min. to 700 Max. not including the Synopsis. (Around 3 Paragraphs - 7 Paragraphs.) This is a challenge to keep things meaty enough but concise enough for others to take ideas from. This is a hardline; I'm not accepting any less or any more per post. More on that later. And my gosh, no OOC chat in the IC. Oh and there actually is a Word Counter in the IC cuz I'm like that.
○ | Third catch is that you will NOT be interacting with other RPers charries. This is more of a free roam than plotted writing. No real sequence, just go with it.
○ | Fourth catch is that you do not have to post your charrie sheet. Just fill in the Synopsis. Helps give the reader an overview of what you about to write.
○ | Fifth catch is that you may use any charrie you like BUT you may only use one charrie per post. And please don't take something you already wrote for your charrie in the old RP and repost it here. So sussss...
○ | Sixth is no Discord. All posts will be on RPN since its meant to cater to drop-in/drop-out postings. But you better not just rando post IC'ly. Come say Hi!! to Buggaboo in OOC first!!
○ | Seventh is oh, and if you're post uses Fancy-ass Coding fancier then mine, please, please, please you MUST also provide a non-Coding version for my phone cuz it hates your coding. Yeah, yeah it does lol
-
Basic Sequence.
-
So the basic sequence is:
○ | Read the post before yours.
○ | Find a sentence and quote it.
○ | Fill in the questionaire part in the Synopsis of your post.
○ | Write a Post about something your charrie would be doing something they would have done in the dead rp revealing a background tidbit about them.
○ | The next person will then post about their charrie BUT!! they will see something they want to use from your post (an idea or a passage), quote it and twist it to use it in their post.
○ | The next person after that will see something they like or want to use in the person above them's post and use it in their post.
○ | Continue, Rinse, Repeat, Ta-dah!! Fill in Synopsis example shown further below.
Now the reason I say MIN 300 Words is that this is good for those who want to stretch their writing prowess a bit more. Also within 300 words the next person should find something of interest in your post to base their post on. Basically a 3 paragraph format of about 300 words was what I was taught to properly RP with a partner when I first started out RPing and its served me well.
○ | Para 1 = React to prior post
○ | Para 2 = Respond with charrie actions/convo
○ | Para 3 = Release more info to build on
And the reason I cap it at MAX 700 Words is for those of us who get all Rosey-Prosey and just vomit up too many uneccessary words. It's a good exercise to keep posts manageable but meaty for others to take in and not feel overrun. (Cuz yeah... guilty.)
So for those who visualize post size by paragraph size; I'd say a good n' meaty paragraph is about 80-100 words. Min size post 300 words. A good n' meaty post size is about 400-500 words. Hard capped at 700 words. Yes, this does include convo too!! There is even a link to an Easy Word Counter in the OP of the IC too lol.
And yes, sorry but posting size is a hardline.
So here is a sample of how to fill in the questionaire when posting IC'ly:
Synopsis
Character: Pretty straight forward. I like to add a bit to show off their role
World and Plot: Just a sentence each here to describe the world and the overall plot of the RP
Context: Just a sentence to say just what's going on.
BG Motivation: Remember that giant backstory you wrote? Yeah well just a sentence to say why they doing what they doing in the post related to backstory.
Post Inspiration: Quote the sentence/snippet of the post before yours that sparked the idea for your post.
K!! Right. So take a look at the IC and it should pretty much make sense how the pattern goes.
So I'm pretty friendly and open-minded but please if you think that you will post something that will trigger someone, go ahead and put a WARNING on the top of your post beforehand. And TBH I'm going with the callous idea that anyone who joins/reads any of the IC'ly posts needs to already be prepped and know that bad things can be written and its all ficticious.
Any questions please do ask them in the open here, since I like a bit of transparency. And don't worry about feeling pressured to post, it's drop-in/drop-out, post when you can. Just bring some creativity and positive vibes with you k?
And yes, you may post for charries that have not even been featured in a RP or post for charries that are currently in a RP. The RP is accessible to a easy-going posting frequency that does not require any formal response from a partner(s). So, yes go ahead and interact with some Random NPC in your post but please keep it relevant to your charrie BG. But if you are looking to have crucial interaction and relationship building this RP is not for you. This whole idea is about sharing creativity and muse upkeep lol
Boom. And there you have it.
