Attention RPers

[HUnewearl_Meira]

I think all of us know that the RP scene hasn't been the bustling business that we'd all hoped it could be. What it comes down to, is that there aren't enough RPers and those who do RP don't always know eachother. This is something that can be fixed, however.

RP communities grow when they are large and active. They've got to start somewhere, though. The first step is to unify the community. The initial group must know eachother and interact. It helps to have some storylines going on among us, but that can come in time. The first thing to do, is to bring our characters together, and get them introduced to eachother. Establish relationships.

For this reason, I'd like to schedule an in-character gathering of RPers online. This is tricky though, because strangers don't come together without purpose, and most of our characters, are in fact, strangers.

So to facilitate the planning of the gathering, I'd like to get an idea as to what's going on in your characters' lives, right now. What have you been doing in your RP sessions?


Personally, my sessions have been few and fairly spontaneous; they've mostly revolved around my Newearl, Meira, being in public with a homicidal (if mutedly so) Cast named Dragoon.

So how about everyone else?

I'm interested in a bit of RPing, most likely with my goofy cast Kyrius Tyn (pronounced "curious tin"). Only thing is this week I'm rather busy with real life stuff. o.o Think we could schedule some regular time to pop in maybe 1-3 times a week, possibly more?

I'm in Pacific time zone, by the way.

Whenever I'm around, I'm always supporting the RP of my characters. Even in more tired sessions, I'm still doing stuff according to my character. So I guess I consider myself an active participant, ready to do it, whenever I'm on. The extent of how much I stick strictly with RPing is based on my company. The more they concentrate on RP, the more I support it with my own. The less, the more casual I take my standard talk, but my typed texts remain the same. Most often mine are in character, but may reflect how they may answer random thoughts tossed out by others.

I guess, for me, something kind of clicks when I play the character, and my general demeanor shifts to match. People could tell if I'm playing one character or the other, even just by how I throw a sentence, or expression, at them if they didn't even see a name with it.

Organizing is only a bit hard, because this game does have a more casual nature. People will play when they can, and when it's the best time for them. I, on the other hand, shifted my focus to be *ready* whenever I sign on, so that I remain a mostly consistant presence when you see me. I do, on the other hand, tend to say less when I'm playing and really too tired to do anything other than my best in combat. (Or even worse, I go and solo, because I'm too tired for organized party play and know I'm about to crash soon.)

I guess I make RP characters because I can't really envision it any other way. If you're given the provision to actually make your own characters, in a game, and decide upon their nature. I want to take as much advantage of that freedom as possible, but I also want to have true direction (given all those choices I have). It serves the purpose of setting your goals early and keeps things interesting for you. You see what you want, and know what you have to do to acquire it. Best of all, you're contributing to the story, adding depth and color to it in the way you want. The best stories speak to you personally, and throwing in your input does wonders for helping the existing story do just that.

I pasively RP in uni 17 often, by pasively I mean acting strictly in character but not building any storyline of sorts, and so far I have only one really active

Jamini, (Beast, female, lv49, Wt5, FT1, currently Wt but sometimes I go FT to level techs) who started as a poor girl from a tiny town in Moatoob with the dream of becoming a healer (wich was how her character was when I started playing 5 months ago) to becoming a quite greedy and aggresive guardian, she slowly abandoned her innocent ways and figured out she could make use of her status as a guardian to earn a little profit, and while she still loves helping out others, particularly the weaker ones, she has taken a liking to accepting protecting missions, often escorting others to earn her newfound classy lifestyle, if she has a customer, she will keep her/him alive no matter what. Snobby towards stronger persons but kind towards the weak and innocent, and alltogether, a lover of the good and classy life, such is the current Jamini :3


I have yet to write down her full profile, it might just not be very PG13 <.<

I don't have much time to RP.

Mostly due to the fact that I don't have much time on PSU >.>

Like Kuro, i'm more passive RP, in that i don't really build a story but just play my chars the way they're supposed to behave. Actually, all my chars are based on NPCs i built up for my D&D campaign.
I'm quite likely to quit RP with most of my chars to get into interesting chatting i see in game, except for Rust who is just Rust 24/24 hours.
As for his lil' background, he was once a very pragmatic and cynical CAST, totally cold and led by true logic, but somehow, he started to get crazy and totally broken (in about the time he became Force then Guntecher, when we totally lost it). Rust follows the instruction of a mysterious entity called The Computer, related to none of the present societies that can be found in the Gurhal System. As for know, Rust is involved in dumb things like being forbidden to use SUV (could be used as a part of a rebellion against the Computer) and hunting other SUV users (if PvP was implemented, he would already have killed some people during missions... <.<) ; well, quite all the SEED-infected lifeforms are actually identified as SUV users by its systems. It is also in its way to reproduce the "pervert" behaviour, spreading ads for porn without any reason.
Claudia, Kendal and Kaori are somewhat related to him (i actually play this relationship RP, like them talking to each other of things they did, and people met by one of them isn't necessarily known by the others, which confuse most of the time the newcomers in my partner list), but i'm too lazy to write something about them here right now. Assume that i will if you want me to only (send a MP or something like that).

Anyway, i would be glad to meet any RPer on PC/PS2, just post here or send me a PM to let me know when, who and how to meet up. Take in count that i live in France, so try to avoid the dumb hours like 10pm EAST and likewise, i'm may be in bed at 4am (GMT+1) most of the time. <.<;

My RP list on my guild cards is huge (RPers are always priority number one on my list) but so few are on anymore. My RP character is a newman named Jessica Rosetti aka "Emrald???" or Emmy. Basically her story contridicts sega so I save that part for more close rp partners. So generally she is a skilled hacker and fortetecher and was oprhaned at birth. A few months ago she was adopted by a CAST named Atlasla (BU-33S) who is an EX amf commander. Theres more to her but i don't feel like posting it. I've tried countless times to get the RP scene booming both on this site and on the psu Offcial forums. My attempts on the offcial forms have been slightly more sucessful. I am on Eastern time (-5 GMT)

[Rust]
