"1000".... (Final call for character submissions)

[mr_rubbish]

"Almost Human" got an excellent response and since I been able to free up some time I might as well move on to my next story.

This is a short medium story based on the format of the TV show "24", it will be entitled "1000".

I believe that someone has posted something similiar here in fan-works but I didn't bother reading it so I don't know what their progress is like.

ANYWAY.....

Why am I rambling about it here instead of writing it?
Well....

I want to try a slightly different track this time. Namely I want to use as few of my own characters as possible.
I want to populate the world with other people's characters... YOUR characters.

So why don't I just trawl through the character bank I hear you ask type?
It's because:
1. There are a billion characters there.
2. I am lazy.
3. Most of those people have since left PSOW, I won't be able to get approval or info.

So I need you, the humble reader to PM me characters that you might think I want for an action/suspense/comedy/thriller type story.

Each person can send me up to 3 characters.
I will accept silly as well as serious characters, since I have no idea of what I need until I start writing.

But....
There are some points to be aware of:

1. Any characters submitted are expendable. If you don't want them to die, don't send them to me in the first place.
2. There are no guarantees that I'll use your character. Don't complain if they didn't get it. Its a medium length story, not a novel!
3. Characters with more 'serious' names are more likely to get chosen than the silly named people BUT anything is possible.
4. I may not use your characters in the way you might expect, but I will get check with you for anything I do that might be constured as "out of character".
5. Er... No that's it.


The PMs can be formatted like in the character bank, but most of that information is unnecessary, if there is anything extra that I will need to know I'll PM you back.

Here's an example:
Name: Bernie
Class: RAmar
Appearence: 6', medium build, blond hair. Wears blue.
Weapon: Flame visit.
Personality: Generally easy-going, but can be serious when necessary. A natural leader. Has a tendency to curl into a ball and gnaw on his arm when things go 'weird'.


And so on. The Personality bit is probably the most important part, I need to be able to judge how your character will behave in my world.

Any questions, post 'em here or PM me.

Eh, well, to tell you the truth... http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif
Zonky has died 2 times in my universe.
And he keeps coming back, oddly enough.
He's the craziest FOnewm there is. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[PJ]

Name: Reiianuo
Class: RAmarl
Appearence: 4'5", orange hair. Wears black.
Weapon: Yasminkov 2000H
Personality: Likes to boss people around, pouts like a child when she doesn't get her way (Which is often XD) Likes to say, "Nyah."

Basically, i would have more characters, but she's the only one, storywise, who I can allow to die =/

[Kadou]

Eh, why not?

[PhotonDrop]

Heh, okay, heres an old character of mine, I over wrote this ones data when I made Remix, so it's okay if he dies.

Name: Aegis
Class: FOmar
Appearence: A FOmar that stands at about 6'5". He wears a robe that is all red, no other designs, just pure red, his inner clothing is black, the robe is cut off just above his ankle. He wears a black straw hat and his hair is grey.
Weapon: Inside his load bearing robe, he carries tons of Handguns, keeping the robe from doing any 'flowing'. He also keeps two non photon daggers at his ankles. At times he's been seen to use an Inferno Bazooka.
Personality: he isn't quite as hard-hearted as his appearance gives, he just prefers to be 'protected'. At times he is irrational but is normally collected. He learns who his temporary boss is and respects that individual as best as he can until the job is done.


Some might call him "BOC's previous life" i suppose?

PLEASE DO NOT SPAM MY THREAD!

Keep the questions/comments relevant!

As a side note, my collection of freaks and weirdos is coming along nicely! More please!

It's starting to border on group-fic territory http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif


Also, I have noticed that many people are concerned with me killing their characters... I don't understand how I could have possibly acquired such a reputation http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Please be assured that very few characters will die and even if they did, it should not affect them in other realities.

[Hikara]

You know, on Garanz's Tourney, Hikara got bashed in the skull with the butt of a rifle, so I'm pretty sure whatever you do to him is good...

[mr_rubbish]

my god he must have really sinned in his previous life to come back as a manky old RAcast.

and yeah rubbish is right about the character bank. if u look at about half of the people that posted characters in there they have all pretty much left. hell even after about 5 posts.

but good luck with the fic rubby-dub-dub!

PEACE!!!

[mr_rubbish]

Hmmmm.... I'm getting as lazy as Night_Shadow it would seem (no offense man!), but i've finally got my @$$ in gear about writing this again.

However, I don't seem to have enough freaks and weirdos, strange as they may sound.

So.....

This is a last call for character submissions. Please see the first post for details.
Once this post drops off the first page, I will not accept any more submissions.
If you read this then you have been warned.

[Garanz2]

Would the one RAcaseal happen to be Shurikane? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

If you need more characters, you can use G2, or even Natalya as well. First page of the character bank for G2, and you know about Natalya http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif.

I think one Insa character is QUITE enough thank you very much.
If you want G2 in, PM me the details and I'll see what I can do.

[KodiaX987]

FYI I didn't submit Shuri into Rubbish's fic.

[Sharkyland]

Hmm, I dunno if I should submit one.

[Garanz2]

Not shuri?! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

...

Hmmm...

[mr_rubbish]

Tani - Don't worry about it.

Sharkyland - You have nothing to fear except fear itself (AKA KaFKa)

Boc - Yeah, I'm a sucka for punishment aren't I? If you wanna see more of your characters in there PM me the details (I'm more lazier than you are http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif ), but Drion isn't really your character any more is she? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Garanz - KodiaX just loves his Insas eh?

[Zzzzzz]

I could make you character sometime tommorrow.

[Tani]

Did I send enough personality info? Though I guess there's not a great deal to describing a silly, bushy-tailed pyromaniac http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Sunblast]

If you still need a bunch of characters, I could give you the info for my other characters, and I'm sure my friends wouldn't mind you using their characters. Just say the word, and I'll TRY to type up their bios.

[mr_rubbish]

Tani - I think you provided more character info than all the others put together! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Zzzzz & Sunblast - You can PM me more characters if you wish, but remember I can only accept up to 3 characters per person.

OK, I'll remember that. If I send one more, I think I owe it to my best friend this tie. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
