a new GKND roleplay

[Sadie]

Hey there!

So a few of you have expressed interest in trying a full roleplay, where everything is typed out, instead of the style of most roleplays on here. So I figured that I would start one and see if it's a success!

For those of you who have never done so before, I'll explain it.

Instead of typing this:
"Wally: *grins* Haha, we pranked Mrs. Henderson so good!"

You write it as though you would write a novel. Using the same example as before:
"A light grin danced on Wally's face as he ducked around the corner. His voice was thick with mischievous delight. "Haha, we pranked Mrs. Henderson so good!""


And here are some general guidelines, for those who haven't tried this type of roleplay before.
Guidelines:
- you may only write the actions and dialogue of your own character. Any person has control only over their own original characters and no one else.
- chatspeak is discouraged, as you wouldn't find any of it in a published work.
- try to be as explanatory and descriptive as possible. The point of written roleplay is to create the scenes inside of our minds, and the more descriptive we are, the more fulfilling it will be.

It's not supposed to be stressful, it's just supposed to be fun.


Now, here's what I'm thinking, and you can give me opinions on this.

Since this is a brand-new roleplay, in a different style, I think we could try a new storyline! And for those of us who are new here, like me, this would give us a chance to get used to the GKND universe and to everyone's characters who are already established and friends. Or maybe anyone who wants to can create new characters for this roleplay, instead of using old ones.

I'm not sure what kind of stories you guys enjoy, but it might be fun to have a plot where a new unit has been created to take care of a threat that has been discovered on a nearby planet, and the unit has to get used to each other while trying to get along well enough to take down this threat as quickly and efficiently as possible.

How does that sound, or does anyone have any suggestions?

As for my own GKND character, I'm in the process of creating him, and I will post about him shortly. In the meanwhile, we can discuss ideas and answer questions here, so that we can get started smoothly, with no problems at all.

SO.
Any questions? Comments? Concerns?
If you're interested, let me know, so that we can get this organized and running smoothly!

I'm definitely in! x3 And I like the sound of that plot too! That's pretty much a basic thing we RP about

Maybe the new characters could be like some kind of "new force" that was recruited for a big mission and is there to aid the others ^^ That way they could all mingle and form new friendships x3

[RohaHat]

I'm liking the sound of this! I think I'll definitely use my character Nalo, because I'd struggle to slot her into any of the current RPs, and the fact that she's a mute does cause problems... I really need to figure out exactly how her telepathic communication works. XD;

I don't have much to say about the plot because I think something simple like that will work well! x3 We're probably going to have fewer members than the other RPs, simply because it's a lot easier to work with the other format, and other members might not be used to the paragraph format and just prefer to work with the simpler one, but I think this will result in some pretty tight friendships between the characters that are involved. x3 And hey, maybe I'll be wrong and we will get a lot of members, who knows. XD

[Renee]

Oooh, I'm down for this! ;D I've never RP'd in paragraph format but it definately will be interesting.

[Sadie]

My only concern is that when you switch over to the written-out form, handling a lot of characters at once can become complicated, because you might end up writing about one character a lot more than the others and I have no idea. I have just found that it keeps it simpler to stick to three characters at the most, BUT, that's just my thoughts, and if you guys want to have like 10, that's fine with me.

As for my own characters, I'm only starting out with one, and his name is Etoile.
I sketched him, and you can see him here.

Unfortunately, I can't color him right now. Which is lame. But there he is, with a brief little description that I'll expand later.

If you guys already know what characters you're using, too, you can introduce them so that we can aaaalllll get familiar. X3

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Aha, thank god I only have two characters X3

Ooh! *goes to comment on dA* He's cuter than the twins put together XD

[Sadie]

HEE HEE. X3 Don't tell HIM that! He likes to think he's manly, the silly guy.

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Cute can be a manly word!!!... I think xD

[RohaHat]

No, it can't. XD He is adorable though. XD Adorable is a waaay more manly word.

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

Fasho!!!
;D

[Ellie]

I'm in, we RP'ed like that back on a Warrior Cats forum I used to co-run, and it worked very nicely ^.^ *Goes off to draw a new GKND*

[Sadie]

SWEET! I'm so glad that people are actually joining this, I'm so excited to get it started soon!

So you guys've seen Etoile (and made him feel indignant with your use of unmanly words), so now introduce your own so that we can get to know them!

[RohaHat]

I SWEAR I'LL INTRODUCE NALO WHEN I COME HOME FROM SCHOOL.

If I stop and introduce her now, I'll be late. D:

I'd have her introduce herself a bit now, but since she's a mute... yeah. But she's kind of technically a selective mute, since her species communicates at least partially (not sure if they're even capable of verbal speech) by telepathic communication, but most of the time she chooses not to communicate at all, besides body language and stuff.

She's pretty cool though. x3

[ChyukiPastukiSuzuki]

AND SHE LIKES TOASTERS X3

[Sadie]

SHE SOUNDS FREAKIN' AWESOME. X3 When I was a kid, I always wanted to communicate telepathically, hahaha.

YAAAAY NALO. <3
