The Blue House ~ Characters
- This is a detailed thread that adheres to all of RPN’s rules and regulations.
I expect a MINIMUM of one post per week, but I am hoping for the thread to be more active than this. The average will be write about 2 posts and read about 10 per week is my guess.
Posts will be more than one paragraph and written in third person past tense.
You must follow the character sheet guideline I have set. You can add more, you cannot write less.
I need to approve your character before you can begin posting.
Feel free to code your sheet, but if I can't read it I won't accept it.
Please respect the other players and the GM.
There will be no posting order, however try to let a few others post before you post again.
If you will be away from the thread try to give me advance warning so people do not wait on you to post.
The OOC will be done on discord.
This is a cooperative story, so characters that do not engage or are “antisocial” or antagonistic will not be accepted.
The guardians represent virtues of humanity and stick to a strict code of conduct. If you want to write a character that does not follow this, don’t pick a guardian. Pick a spirit or creature.
I am hoping for characters to learn and grow, so you do not have to write a lot for the beginning sheet, but I do expect the sheet to be expanded as the story continues.
All characters must have a form that looks normal in the human world. It doesn’t necessarily need to look human, but it does need to look and act like it belongs there.
If you decide to play a human here is their deal: The “new guardians” do not know they are guardians yet, they also do not know they are dead. Because of their power to appear in all realms, they will be seen and heard by all their friends and family and you can play this how you like. If their death was widely known, you can have people around them freak the heck out. If their death was unknown, they will continue on with their lives not knowing anything has actually happened. The guardians will be able to tell they are not alive however, though they will not know the ex-humans are guardians at first.
Guardian powers tend to stick to one type of power, either a single element, or a handful of combat forms. These powers will grow as the story progresses, but for now, keep it light. Powers like mind control or anything that requires the override of a player’s autonomy will not be permitted in this game. All guardians have one human form, and sometimes they have a form that’s truer to their spirits that they wear when not in the human realm. It’s up to you.
If you wish to play a spirit or creature and you are not sure if they might be OP for the start of the game, shoot me a pm and we can discuss.
Ref pic or written description: (anime or realistic, doesn’t matter, for those that want to avoid the flood of AI “art” on the internet nowadays, a written description is perfectly fine.)
Name:
Appeared age: (most beings in the thread are not mortal, so appeared age is more descriptive)
Being: (Guardian, human, creature or spirit)
Virtue: (only if playing a guardian, if a “new” guardian, i.e. human, you can add this now, or wait until you rp a bit to discover your character’s virtue)
Personality: (try and add as much as you can, what do they like, not like, what makes them mad, what makes them like others etc.
Character flaws: (not physical weaknesses, this is for the psychological or emotional barriers or challenges your character needs to overcome. This could revolve around their death, or some past trauma, or, just their personality. Give this some good thought, and think about how your character could start to overcome this.
Powers and skills: a short or point description of the things they can do, both for combat and just for fun.
Description of their room/home: The guardians have little pocket dimensions behind their door in The Blue House, what does it look like? If a human or spirit, what do their homes look like and what are some things they own and why?
Backstory: for humans, their lives up until this point (you do not have to include how they died, but you can if you like), for guardians: their lives as guardians up until this point (same deal for the death), for spirits: just a general backstory.
Friendships: (here you can build connections with the other characters, guardians could befriend human characters before they died, no knowing what they were about to become. They can also be friends with spirits. Talk to each other in the interest check, build some character connections!)
Information you keep secret:
These are things you send to me only, do not post them in your character sheet. I will use it to build the arcs of the story.
Human/guardian - How did your character die?
Spirits: anything you want to influence the development of your character that you’d like to keep secret from the other players for now. You can reveal these at any point in time. It is your decision.- TBA
