ooc thread (temp).

welcome to the ooc thread for 'the vanishing' !! this is a temp thread until the final cast is chosen and the ooc is moved to discord. the purpose of this thread is to allow everyone interested to ask questions regarding the plot/story, alongside share concepts and ideas for character apps (esp. for 'the undecided' roles). if you have any questionsβ€”ask below! also feel free to have general chatter about the inspirations and concepts within the interest check. :-)

the character app thread will also appear here when it is up! no deadline at this stage so no rush!

 
Hello!! One media I recognized was until dawn which this reminded me SO much of, everything from the premise down to the roles. I was wondering if you had a fixed idea of the characters' reasonings (for going to find Violet) & their personalities? The lover reminded me a bit of mike . . n I think if available, I'd be interested in playing them with a loose inspiration from until dawn's mike! Sort of comes off as confident, persuasive but also a little self-absorbed & vain? Which is why he was easily swept away from one partner to another. Or maybe even extra conscious of his reputation? Which might be why he's still playing the lover; goes on with the trip in a faux display of Concerned Partner !

I’ve tried to keep the roles flexible enough to allow creative freedom beyond some pre/existing drama and dynamics. so reasonings for going and personalities are entirely up to you!! while I’m sure most are β€œwe wanna make sure she’s okay!!”, I can definitely see the perspective of someone like the lover coming out of guilt, or because they still love them or yeah because of a faux display for appearances. there’s no issues basing a character off a pre-existing character in media as long as it’s got some creative liberties, fits the narrative and isn’t just an oc! unfortunately these days hard to create a character that isn’t already existing in media in some regard haha.

when I get the character thread up, there will be some semblance of a character sheet for violet. she’s so far been painted quite positively (which she mainly is) in the interest check but she has reasons for being disliked by some to paint some complex dynamics.
 
Hello. I’m interested.

These will be college-aged characters, correct? Well, is it okay if my guy will be some kind of star athlete?

I am trying to figure out how much potential violence and fighting amongst each other the story will allow. Or whether or not its purely a co-op thing for the main mission.

yeah that is okay ! I wouldn’t view it so rigidly, as this isn’t really a β€˜forum game’, and the cast will be working together but also paranoia and frustrations could lead to some in-fighting. I can’t really tell you how much fighting and violence there will be between each other as this will organically occur throughout the story.

oh! and I forgot to respond to your other message in the other thread but there will be no reserving of roles as this is application based! :-)
 
Can I make a character whose new to the friend group, has no ties to violet but he’s an aspiring filmmaker who decided to tag along mainly because he senses there might be an interesting story to tell?
 
tracking for sure: Sent the main ideas via DM

Some ideas include (and there will be more):
Penpal Royal from another country (went on a trip because of curiosity reseasons) and is in hiding
Mafia Heiress friend of another role
Professional Ballet Dancer

that is rather interesting !! could cause some tension between your character and the others as they would be frustrated with them making a film out of it and gives me blair witch vibes too!! just as long as they have a connection or two to the main group. it would make sense if they didn’t know violet too much either since she has been all over the place the last year so is plausible.

Phew I spit out Art way quicker than I was expecting to πŸ˜… But he's up and ready to pine pathetically while fighting for his life :P ! All bg info I'm ready to shift depending on when other role details become solidified so they can align. Lmk if anything needs changed that you see now though, idiot idiot :bishiesparklesl:

ahh art is cool, I’m happy someone applied for that role as I think it creates such an interesting dynamic for the search party!! I like the vibes and the way he is entwined with the twins.

tyty! I was going for a little bit of a creepily obsessed unrequited love. I'm excited to gobble up the rest of the cs's that come out ^_^
 
very much looking forward to more cs’s, loving the placeholders so far !!

hoping to get the twins done this week. thinking I might set a tentative date for the 30 september, just in time for spooky season and to give everyone enough time to finish. will seeeee.
 
finally had some time to spit out a wip for violet with nathaniel to follow!! life has decided to just give me NO time 😭
 
Hello! Reading Violet's backstory has made it clear I may have got some things wrong timeline wise about Violet's ilness, will be changing it slightly to fit better with her narrative. May have also forgot about [THE SHADOW] lol, will be sure to add it to David's story too.

I also have a small question, despite nothing being quite set in stone yet, how well did Nathaniel and the lover get along? Can I add to their relationship?

you may have got nothing wrong !! I didn’t have a clear idea for her diagnosis timeline and I think I kept it vague in her backstory to more allude that she has always been β€œsick”, more referring to other stuffβ€”especially autoimmune diseases and other things that held her back from experiencing the world. so if you referenced her diagnosis as a teenager or such you are fine because that would work timeline wise. she would not of undergone chemo until her teenage years.

you are welcome to add to their relationshipβ€”as I said it is more than okay to not expand on them all until after the cast is chosen and we do some plotting! as for nathaniel, I can imagine that they were friends as he would of needed to vet them. heβ€˜s weirdly protective so I can see the lover feeling a little uneasy by their presence at times because any wrong move would be scrutinised when it came to affecting his twin. which is why we better hope he doesn’t find out they broke up, or that they cheated on violet!! hehe

hoping to polish/finish violet’s bio alongside nathaniel this week. I’m away this weekend but will be flying so might have time then!
 
Howdy! I'm drafting up an application for The Confidant, but I've noticed all the roles already have applications for them and my character would fit just as well as an undecided. Would it be okay to submit an Undecided that is a college friend of Violet and The Confidant? Or shall I just gun for The Confidant role and keep it competitive? I have ideas on how I can connect my character to The Unrequited and naturally would be close-knit with Violet but not at all a fan of Nate.

that is entirely up to you! can definitely do another college friend that is friends with violet and the confidant. or if you like you are welcome to try your hand at the confidant role instead! :-)
 
Hi there! Would love to create an OC for this roleplay, was thinking of creating a character that is romantically involved with The Protector, could either be straight forward or with a twist.

no issues with that β€” I’ve finally put up a wip for nathaniel so can get more of an indication of him as a character. both straight forward or with a twist sound good!!! he’s usually partnered in some regard so would make sense! he’s got commitment issues but I’m sure that will prove interesting regardless.

edit: I’m limited to my phone this weekend so apologies for any issues with the wips. will clean them up when I get home!

Sweet! No Rush - I'll start working on my character and I'll submit a CS on the thread
 
hey guys β€” I think I’m bringing the unfortunate news that I might shut this down due to not enough interest! just being aware that one or two people will drop early on (as is tradition with roleplays) which means there won’t be many of us left with the completed character apps. I think I might try to run this again in a few months to see if it can garner more interest so stay tuned! apologies for the inconvenience and thank you for everyone who expressed interested and made some really cool characters!! :’-)
