Too many have played Assassin's Creed, that's what I think.

And point taken, Italian. The reason I'm so "corrective" is because my English teachers were that way with me...rubbed off too much, I guess.

My ideal character was a mixture of Winter Soldier/Frank Woods.

My character is going to end up pissing all the silent assassins off. I was going to go silent but saw Zero did it so i went for trickster instead.

Should be amusing XD

It's funny. Whenever I'm reading through RP thread, 90% of character entries are these super cool, silent assassin guys..

I don't understand what's so appealing about this one-tone personality that seems to be so popular. Then again it might just be me :P

I don't know. Personally I based mine heavily off Izaya Orihara and he always talks......

My english teacher this year is the same way. But like I said, I'll still listen to what you have to say.

Trickster as in "Haha, I made you give me an extra $100!", or "Psychotic killer" trickster, a la Joker?

I know. I was the first silent type on this thread. Drop certified this :P And I'm not even really an assassin type character. Hes a Spy more or less with engineer capabilities Also the silent stuff fits my name and avatar but if it's needed my character will be more outgoing considering the silent thing is turning over rated. I'm thinking of making another character that will ally with the Zero but be more outgoing and gunhappy

Most of the time I enjoy basing my characters off myself and my personality and traits, and what I would do in whatever situation my character is in. This way I feel more immersed in the RP, and quite frankly, have more fun.

true, I identify with their thought processes, and I necessarily don't want this to be a political thing as I am very into politics. I figure go with some characteristics of myself and embellish the rest to my creative thoughts.

The problem with super cool/ silent types when it comes to RP's is that their boring. That's just it, when your in a RP you want to communicate with the other people, it makes it more fun. If we have a bunch of silent people than it will be boring because there will be little interaction between players and that is what makes RP great.

But I guess the silent-mysterious guy is attractive just because he is an enigma.

Also, doesn't seem to be that many females. But I can guess why.

I completely agree. One or two is ok, but even then it can make the storyline pretty stale.

The last thing you said made me laugh. So true.

i understand the over-use of the assassin type soldier. However, I have played many other games over my years and those kind of soldiers suit me best. I, this may sound sadistic, personally have a belief that shooting someone is to quick, easy and too impersonal. Anyone can use a gun to kill someone, but killing them ina more up-close and personal manner is more the way I think it should be when you have to say protect your family or something. I'm a bit old-fashioned that way i guess, by about a thousand years or so lol. I have read tons of spy/assassin/merc stories and books, and seen tons of movies similarly, its just what suits me. I'm not trying to be "that guy" or sound cool.

Just a quick question, is the actual RP going to be on this subject or will a new one be made? I only ask so I don't miss it.

Also, I edited my CS. Gave Leo a bit more of a chance to talk.

Thats a long list of players.. We're up to around 10-15, nice.

Yttrium, glad you decided to join in, accepted. ( If anyone cares, Yttrium will also be a Co-host, :thumbsup: )

LepreKanZ and TheRooster64, really impressive CS's, accepted. :happy:

D3V1LsZ and Deathshroud09, your accepted, but I do have some comments. :read:

-D3V1LsZ, it seems your trying to make your character this "super badass" mystery guy. Trust me, don't. It will bore you after a while. Add some more details to your info, such as a last name, longer and more impressive list of traits, and some more editions to your bio. Try to really go out there. and get creative. Just my critisim though, you don't have to change it if you feel your character is fleshed out enough and you can enjoy RPing with him. :happy:

-Deathshroud, Again, a little more info wouldn't hurt. I like the bio, but it can be improved, as can some of your other info, take another look at your CS and make sure its the exact way you want it, edit it if its not. I would also like to comment on weapons, they seem to be state of the art high grade weaponry, which isn't commonly available. You should only have 1-2 weapons max, then maybe something for melee, and they should not be super advanced. I suggest taking out your SMG, and maybe a few upgrades off the sniper. :)

I'll answer the rest of the comments in a lil, got some stuff that needs doing.


I wouldn't say I made my guy "super badass". I simply made him a lone wolf. He can take care of himself and trusts no one. I will think of some more things to add to his Bio etc though,

Yea I'm good, mine isn't the silent type. He's more of a "So as I was saying...Oh look at that! it's a blah which is a blah related to blah which relates what I was saying..." Kind of fellow, and a curious never stays in one place for too long, kind of a lone wander, but doesn't mean to be, he just likes to explore.

Oh if you didn't notice, my guy wasn't born on the ARK, he was born on a ship then found the land mass this is placed on...And just kind of found the area

A new one will be made, I'm waiting on a few more applications from certain people.. :whistling:

You guys had a great discussion about the silent types while I was gone huh? But we still got two more silent applications... :confused:

If you guys made a silent type character, I suggest you go back, and re-edit your personality. Take a look at what Yttrium said..

It'll be all bland, everyone just staring at each other not talking.. Yuck. :yuck:

Don't know how to make your personality more... Interesting/amusing? Take a look at the "So you think you can RP?" link on the front page.. Or on this link..

http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/893712-so-you-think-you-can-rp/

I'll wait to accept Joe+ and PuertoricanPrince's applications until they have been... Dealt with. :)

If you guys need something to do while waiting for the IC, think out you characters story and how planning on introducing them with the first post.. Etc.

Side note:

I will be discussing with my Co-hosts whether or not we should start the story on the Ark and then fast forward five years, or if we should just start five years after the crash. If you have some feedback on this, feel free to post/PM me.

That is all. :happy:

Birthplace: New York

If an Ark survivor, original faction (optional): Original Inhabitant

Name: Jason Celldura aka Jace

Age: 65

Nationality/Race (Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, etc.): Caucasian

Appearance: An aged man who stands with a slight hunch in his back. Almost completely bald besides scarce gray hairs coming from the sides of his head. A pair of clear rimmed bifocals rest upon his face at all times yet no one knows why he wears them because there is nothing to read of interest on the resistance side of the ark.

Faction: Originally Ark High Society

Occupation: Biochemical Scientist

Skills: Translator (French Italian English Russian and some Chinese), biochemical weapons.

Traits: None

Weapons (don't go godly on weapons, make it reasonable and fair): low quantity of nerve gas grenades hidden under his robe.

Clothing: Long white robes with a blue lace pattern that twists and turns on his chest and spirals around his arms.

Misc (little mementos or special items that your character treasures): A simple gold ring.

Personality: He is humble and soft spoken and wishes to continue his research. He is strictly neutral in all disputes he translates for and only asks for help in recovering his lab. Works with gang leaders in selling chemical weapons and assists in trapping rivals in "unarmed" translation meetings but only if he keeps them.

Bio (Explain there History): Went to the ark to conduct experiments that on the mainland were less that legal. Tested on animals and synthesized various viruses to be susceptible to humans. When connection was lost with the world his research was suspended by the founders and claimed his animal subjects to increase food supply. Yet his lab was still intact he could not experiment anymore until he realized that "subjects" were pouring in every day. During his human experiments the founders discovered what he was doing and banished him from his residence in an effort to help relations with the refuges. Slowly he realized his expertise in language could help bridge that gap for people on the ark and could aid him in recovering his lab. Currently still trying to get his full lab together but can manufacture gas weapons and poison in low quantities.

My mistake, your good. I read the "Quiet" part, and was hoping you could edit it out, but whatever. His personality is good. :thumbsup:

He said Quite not quiet but Drop when you're done getting character info tell me how many silent types you have. If it's too out of hand I'll change my personality to be more outgoing

Yeah I know, My mistake. :P

I don't think that would be fair, since you were the first quiet type, I'll just PM the guys and ask them to please add more personality and less.... Quiet.
