Sworn To A Great Divide
[UPDATE 8/5/2018: THE ROLEPLAY IS CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW INMATES. ANY INMATE CS'S WILL BE IGNORED. GUARD CS'S MAY BE CONSIDERED DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCE AND IF YOU HAVE AN INTERESTING ROLE TO FILL]
The big character sheet thread for this reboot. Hopefully I've piqued your interest as of now, if you followed this link from the interest check (If not, you can find more details here: Thesta Penitentiary for the Wicked: The Reboot). A quick reminder about the rules regarding character creation, along with a few extras and the layout for what I want to know at the minimum:
CS TEMPLATE FOR PRISONERS/GUARDS: (you may add more sections if your heart desires; this is just the bare minimum and it's no problem if you only go this far)
Name:
[Duh, that goes without saying]
Age:
[Keep 'em 18 and older, as this isn't exactly juvie]
Gender:
[Male? Female? Or other?]
Physical Appearance:
[Face claim is preferable; if you write a description, it better be good]
Place of Birth:
[Can be fictional or a real Earth-based location, as mentioned before, the prison's location is fictional]
Sexuality:
[Straight? Gay? Unsure? There's no wrong answer here]
Personality:
[Feel free to give it in the form of a list of character traits]
Likes:
[What is it your character is fond of in life?]
Dislikes:
[And what absolutely pisses them off?]
Special Ability/Power (if any):
[The fun part: what's your character's ability? Do they transform into some other creature? Can they control a certain element? Go nuts here, but within reason as stated before.]
Weakness/Inhibitor:
[Being within reason means nobody's invincible. What is your character weak to? What renders their aforementioned ability useless? This is directly related to how your character's ability is dampened in the prison (if they're an inmate), so it'd be a good idea to mention that here too. Is it by injection? A special inhibition cuff? Your character, your ability, so I'll leave that to you.]
Crime They've Committed (does not apply for guards):
[Tell us what you're in for. If it's an Earth-based location, laws about that area apply here. If not, then you've got more wiggle room to establish your own law that your character has broken. Keep this section within reason, too; no 100000000000 man massacres. Also, your character can be victim to a setup/be framed for a crime they didn't do. Specify that here if that's the case.]
Backstory:
[No need to be super detailed here, but a little bit of info on your character's past would be good to know.]
Other:
[Is there anything else you wanna add on? Any hobbies or quirks that you didn't cover before? Feel free to let that stream of creativity flow here for anything worth mention.]
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I promise I won't bite, and will happily clear up any confusion or uncertainty you may have in mind. Have fun, everyone
The big character sheet thread for this reboot. Hopefully I've piqued your interest as of now, if you followed this link from the interest check (If not, you can find more details here: Thesta Penitentiary for the Wicked: The Reboot). A quick reminder about the rules regarding character creation, along with a few extras and the layout for what I want to know at the minimum:
- Face claims are the priority method of telling how your character looks, second best is a well-written paragraph if you prefer.
- I won’t be too picky if you don’t get too deep with backstories now, but it should come out in some way, be it now at stage 1 or in-RP.
1 - Locations of origin can be fictional or real; I won’t be too picky about that. Thesta, for instance, is fictional simply for my own convenience of creation.
- Don’t feel pressured into making an inmate if there’s too many guards, or vice-versa; we can make NPC ones on the fly if need be. You are free to be a guard or inmate, whatever you feel like playing as.
- Doubling+ is allowed (you don’t have to, but I have no issue with it) as long as you can keep all of your characters progressing and functioning. No leaving anyone behind.
- The RP setting is ‘modern/urban fantasy’, if you’d like to call it that. Technology and fantasy abilities, as well as non-human beings are welcome, so long as it’s all within reason. See below for more detail of what’s allow and what’s not.
- Your power must have a counter/weakness/inhibitor. No situations where ‘nothing can kill you’ (no duh).
- Similarly (and obviously), you cannot force a character that is not yours into a damaged, near-death, or actual death situation without the approval of the victim’s owner.
- [Inmates only] Your power must be able to be contained by some sort of ‘inhibitor’. It can be a bracelet, collar, anklet, drug, slight adaptation to the prison uniform, or any other type of device to prevent the inmate from taking full advantage of his/her powers. Some powers can stay active as long as they are harmless (they can’t even so much as scratch someone)
- [Inmates only] Your crimes must be REASONABLE. In the past rendition, a few extreme crimes were allowed to slide, but not any longer. Keep your kills within reason (more than in the hundreds is really pushing it), and don’t do anything borderline unthinkable (no destroying an entire planet or anything like that, remember, we’re not gods)
- [Inmates only] All inmate characters are to be newcomers; nobody’s been in the prison for a while upon the starting date of the RP. It can make for players having an edge, even though it can forge bonds between newbies and old timers. Let’s keep it safe here.
- [Guards only] Guards don’t have to be newly employed, but they can if you would like.
- [Guards only] Ranks for guards are first come first serve, though they won’t be specified now and won’t all be required to be filled (as we can work with what we get). Obviously, the highest form of power is the Warden, who I will be assuming myself. [UPDATE: A head of security is being made by myself as well]
- [Guards only] You have the choice of having powers or not, but if you do, do note that even though your powers aren’t inhibited in any way, you’re not invincible either and, like any other mortal, have weaknesses.
- [Guards only] You have a responsibility to uphold the prison guidelines. I understand corruption is a thing in prison, and that’s fine, but when we are in a lockdown situation, do not leave everyone hanging and not solve the problem.
- What powers you CANNOT use for the sake of avoiding powergaming/godmodding (not limited to these, so if I say no, it means no and you should change your ability):
- Invincibility/Immortality (direct or indirect)
- One-hit kill/insta-kill type powers
- Probability/RNG-based powers (this was a concern brought up to me in the past rendition of the RP, now addressed and properly put in its place; if your power depends on a random chance, no matter how good the chance is, drop it)
- Non-physical beings (no dark matter, ash, mist, plasma, void, or any sort of characters like that; as a rule of thumb: if there is a stage of the character’s ability in which you cannot touch them at all, it’s not allowed)
- Omniscience (you cannot be all-knowing)
- Examples of what you can use along with restrictions (not limited to these examples, you may pitch your own and I will determine if it needs further restrictions or specifications):
- Character whose power is related to a god/demon/immortal being (be very specific about restrictions in this power, and the immortal being cannot directly intervene or permanently raise a character from the dead. Please go into details of what you can/can’t do to avoid too heavily dominating the scene, and do note that if your character is an inmate, you cannot be the divine entity itself. There is one divine being for Thesta’s personnel, Pisha, whose role will be stated in the full description of the prison)
- Invisibility (it has to be partial, very minimal, and it cannot extend to what you’re touching. Reaching inside a wall with part of your arm, for example, is okay. Phasing through it entirely is not.)
- Shapeshifting (nothing too freaky like a massive six-headed dragon with a wrecking ball for a tail… it must be to something real and mortal and cannot make you indestructible)
- Flight (must be temporary, it cannot allow you to fly out of the prison or keep you out of the range of punishment or anything like that)
- Mind-control (keep it temporary with the possibility for repercussions, and you cannot do anything too drastic like take control of the Warden’s mind and commit suicide. Just use your common sense: if you have to ask if you can do it, then you probably shouldn’t.)
- Mind-reading (My character will have this, for instance, and he’ll have restrictions about how long he can do it and when he can as well.)
- Non-human characters (Nothing too oversized or unruly; keep the height limit at 10 feet/3 meters, and they have to be somewhat civilized no matter how much of a cold-blooded killer they are)
- Elemental/wieldable abilities (fire, electricity, ice, water, whatever have you… You MUST be inhibited at all times. No one walks around without being inhibited no matter who you are. Once again, we had this issue before in the past rendition)
- Usage of tech/magic (Nothing that instakills or breaks the entire RP or stops progression or makes someone untouchable, obviously)
- This applies to both inmates and guards, but please limit yourself to one scope of abilities. We don’t need a mind-reading, fire-bending, shape-shifting centaur on our hands.
- If you receive a like/emote from me or the co-GM (
firebright24
), then you’re accepted and you will receive a link to the Discord server in DM’s. I highly encourage being in this to be up-to-date with all things related to the RP and for ease of contact (not to mention we can all have some fun on our downtime as friends). Neither of us bite; we're both super friendly and will happily answer any questions you have about the roleplay, now or later.
- Do note that either me or the co-GM reserves the right to give feedback and possibly reject a character or ask for changes. We have no set limit, but when we set it, it's first come first serve.
