The Journey: Sign Up Thread

Post » Fri May 28, 2010 7:13 pm

*Results with the RP may vary.

NOTE: SIGN UP IS OVER. THIS THREAD IS CURRENTLY ONLY GOING TO BE USED FOR THE REMAINING PEOPLE TO PUT UP THEIR SHEETS. :P

Note: For Serious Business with RPing, scroll to the bottom of this post.

Hello Ladies and Gents, Silly Cat here with an RP like no other you have seen in the past few weeks! It's title is called The Journey, and while you may think the title sounds silly, don't judge a book by it's cover. This RP will take place in the Southwestern remains of the United States, after the Great War. The players will play as tribals, seen commonly in Fallout 2, and will embark on a journey leaving their settlement and all their loved ones in search of an ancient relic that is supposed to bring peace to the tribal community and end the wars between the competing tribals, and in the end, search what they are really looking for.

So without further delays, here is a prologue to get you settled in the type of RP you could be playing.

Taken from a page of a young girls diary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Year 136, 125 days remaining until harvest

Dear Diary,

The Elder said that several people were going to be chosen for a journey, to look for something. I don't really know what it is, but the Elder said it would "Bring Harmony between us and the other conflicting tribes.". That would be nice, seeing as how my daddy was killed a few years ago. I don't remember it, but my mommy said she does. She said that he died while fighting with one of the other tribes. However, we haven't had a tribe attack us in a few months, so I think we should be okay. Hopefully everything will get better eventually.

Wait, my mommy said we have to leave. She said I didn't have enough time to pack, so I have to leave this behind.

Goodbye, diary. I hope I can come back later.

--------------------------------------------

So, as you can see/read, a group of tribals, meaning you, have to travel and leave the comfort of your home in order to search for a piece of technology that will save you and your fellow tribal members. Since this RP is being done in a way different from others, here are some key notes for you to know while playing:

*Your character was born and raised in a tribe that does not know of the outside world, other than more tribes. Therefore, your character does not have any knowledge of advanced technology, including guns, computers, and how the rest of society works.

*Combined with the first part, you character is limited with choices of items. Remember, primitive technology. I may allow some items as long as if you are fairly creative with it.

*Your character can't wander off going solo following the start of the RP. No loners. Anything regarding this rule during the RP just PM me.

----------------------------------------

And finally, the grand finale. Here are my basic rules, and standard sign up sheet. Feel free to add anything else, as long as it works out okay with me. :P

-No Godmodding
-No Loners (Solo Characters)
-Put effort into your posts. Please don't have a post smaller than three good lines of text.
-Any Questions with the RP, please PM me so we can work everything out.
-Remember: Primitive Technology!!! :stare:
-Blah, Blah, Blah, you should know the rest.

--------------------------------------------
And, the sign up sheet!

Name: (Note: Remember, think of Tribal names. Creative names help!)
Gender:(One or the other. :P)
Age: (Due to the tribe, i'm stretching the age limit, as long as you can stay with it. 13-60)
Appearance: (Tattoos and piercings are almost mandatory in something like this)
Occupation: (What your Character does to help the tribe.)
Skills: (Kind of limited here due to being primitive. Technology will get in the story later on.)
Personality: (This explains itself)
Items: (Weapons, Tools, Medicine, Clothes, you name it.)

Hope you join this! :D

You know,there has to be be SOME tech left over, america was too modernized. Also, where would we learn forging, an art that hadnt been used in forever? Id assume more straightforward teckh would have been discovered and impliemented.Guns, for instance. the native americans purchased and traded for flintlobk rifles as soon as they were developed, as they saw their uses, so im sure these hunter/gatherers would have salvaged some weapons and ammunition.

Yeah, I think we should have atleast a few weapons. I mean, look at the Point Lookout Tribals, they have firearms. I think that we should have a few firearms, but not very many, and they should only be available for like, tribe leaders and such.

N'ermind.

No weapons is a good thing. You're tribals. If he gave you weapons it would ruin the feeling he's going for. On the note of the Point Lookout Tribals having guns... this is a "Tribal RP Like no other!!"

:cookie:

To explain it story wise, the tribes are isolated away from the rest of the wasteland population. This will turn out to be a dynamic part of the RP. When our characters get their first hands on modern (Or what's left of it) Technology. Remember, these tribals have no knowledge of all the other wastelanders.

However, they do know about the mutated animals, for it's in their habitat.

Hope that sums it up. :D

NOTE: And Jonas, Accepted! Terrific job on the details with the weapons and clothing. Perfect example of what kind of characters i'm looking for in an RP like this.

I would join if I wasn't already in Naz's and Francois's RPs, with one of my own in the works and another of Naz's in the works too. It tore my heart out not being able to join Strangelove's because of time.

No problem, but thanks for considering. There's always my second RP. But I don't plan on doing that until MUCH later on. Besides, it bugged me there were no tribal RPs. Therefore, I made this.

As for my character(s?), i'm working on it. It will take a while, due to school. :P

Because of that, I hope you guys don't mind if it moves slower than normal. My overall idea of how the RP will progress is done, the only thing I have to work on is my character, and possibly make a map to show how the area looks like.

As he already said. You are like the ribals in FO2. They didn't have guns. You got to start with a spear.

Name: Crow (Yeah, not very original, but it appeals to me.)

Gender: Male

Race: Caucasian

Age: 24

Occupation: Hunter, protector, and journeyman.

Skills: Melee (Swords, hand to hand, etc.), Archery, and very skilled in agility.

Personality: Crow is a friendly and outgoing guy, who's willing to go out of his way to help someone in need. He tends to joke around, but can be serious depending on the situation.

Brief History: Crow was found in a destroyed town by a group of passing tribals, who took him in and raised him as their own. When Crow was found he was only an infant, thus not able to remember the events leading up to his rescue.

Items:

-------------------
Weapons
-------------------

- A lightweight iron blade that Crow crafted himself. It looks like http://www.bennettauctions.com/2006/120506_portsmouth/tribal2.jpg when sheathed, but is longer, at about 1 foot and 9 inches in length, with a slight curve to it.

- A bow made from a strange curved bone that was found in a mutated bear, with the bowstring fletched from an elastic material. The bone used to make the bow was emerged in water, in order to make it more flexible, but still managable. (I know this sounds a bit far-fetched, but just roll with it, okay? :D)

- A small hunting knife made from a strip of iron and the pelt of a bear.

-------------------
Clothing
-------------------

- A pair of brown, faded jeans, that are cut off at about 4 inches past the middle of his knee.

- A thick, orange-brown cloth, wrapped around his waist as a sort of sash, or belt.

- A pair of weathered, brown Roman sandals.

- A short band of cloth wrapped around his right bicep.

- The only thing on his torso are the http://z.hubpages.com/u/299228_f260.jpg that mark the left side of his body.

-------------------
Miscellaneous/food
-------------------

-Flint.
-Venison and bear meat.
-Makeshift water canteen.
-Long coil of rope.
-Gauze and bandages.
-Various edible plants.
-------------------

Appearance:
-Height: 6'1"
-Eye Color: Blue
-Build: Athletic, like http://z.hubpages.com/u/299228_f260.jpg. (With those tattoos also, as I've stated earlier.)
-Facial Features: Looks like http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/8452/mshadows.jpg. (Much easier to use pictures.)
---------------------------------

Ah, understood. My mother called me a week ago and told me she caught the H1N1. Fortunately she got better. Hope the same goes for you. :tops:

If you don't respond by Thursday, i'll just mark you off the list. Don't worry, if I make a second act, you can hop back in. Take care.

Two questions I have for you, and one remark.

Q1: Will there be the possibility of playing as just a wastelander, who might happen to help the tribals? If not. No big deal.

Q2: If ShadowStrike cannot be here, could I possibly join?

Remark: GREAT idea, I mean really. Unique and in my whole time here, I haven't seen anything about Tribals i.e. Rps that is. So good work on this.

Thanks, it's good to know people are interested. Makes me feel more confident in this. :)

A1: Maybe later on. Like if I made a Part 2 of sorts. But as of starting now, no. Want to try to focus in the beginning on the struggles of being a tribal.

A2: If ShadowStrike does drop out, then you can go right ahead and fill that empty slot. Of course, that is if he say he can't participate.

Other than that, thanks again for the remark!

Items:
Misc. - A pouch containing a journal, with several writing utensils.
- Several pouches of jerky and berries, and medicines.

Clothing - Feet are wrapped in cloth, held together by knots. Wears fur from a mutated bear, including the skull as a helmet for protection.

Bio: Nerrad was born and raised a scholar, kept under watch by the elder and his guards. He was given the role of recording any important history regarding the tribe, and keeping track of any technology found. However, due to the isolation of the village, there is almost nothing that was found from the past world. When the elder began to plan the journey, Nerrad was chosen to keep track of the journey, and record any important discoveries found while exploring. He was also in charge of recovering any important technology that may be beneficial to the tribals.

So, here's the sheet. Just need to wait for you.... people. :P

May extend the date depending on the situation, seems I have some stuff to do. It's up to you guys to tell me when we should get the show on the road! :D

I'm sorry to tell you Last, but I went to the doctor today, and found out I have H1N1. This is going to have to be pushed off until i'm feeling better. For now, i'm probably going to ask a moderator to lock this up. I'll re-post the RP at a later time. Basically, i'm not going to be able to do this while being extremely sick. I'll see you guys at a later time.
