This is NOT a thread about rocket propelled grenades. I used to be a part of a few of these in another forum and they're really fun.
Here's what happens:
You design a fictional character and assume his/her/its role. You can send that character to go on missions or pretty much whatever you want it to do, following these rules:
1) You must interact with other player's characters in some way, shape, or form at some point in your story.
2) There must be some sort of conflict in your plot.
3) You can't kill other players or control other players (only a slight amount of influence is allowed {ex: player 1 threw a grenade at player 2 and player 2 staggered back}). Instead you must use a "posts down" system. When you interact with another player that hurts or offensively affects that player you can suspend them from posting. If you get them down for 2 posts then two different people have to post afterward before they can post again.
4) You have to be reasonable. You can't get people down for 10 posts (recommend nothing over 4). You can't dramatically effect another/other player’s environments, such as sabotaging every vehicle or blowing up entire planets where players are RPing.
Here is the information you must display about your character before playing:
Name
Gender, Age
Race (human default)
Equipment
Background info/Character personality
Morals/Current mission
Good luck RPing and may the force be with you. Hope you like the idea :D

Oh, well....I guess I'll join in until this dies like the other one.
Name: Xanthar Prime
Gender: male
Age: unknown
Race: Xernathian
Equipment: long black staff with a giant double-scythe at the end
Background: The planet Arathia was a rather peaceful planet of good-will and happiness. That is, until a young boy, Carter, found a door near the ocean. He opened this door and found a dark world, full of terror. He quickly tried to shut the door, but couldn't. Then, on each passing day, he would like to sit by the door, not go in, and watch as the activities of the thins that lived there thrived. As he watched, his mind slowly began to become corrupt. Eventually he plunged into this world and gave himself a new name: Xanthar I, or Xanthar Prime. He was a terrifying sight, full of malice and darkness. He even gave spawn to an army of Dark Soldiers and 12 generals; Xanthar II through Xanthar XIII.This world, which he dubbed Xernathia, gradually became connected to worlds like it. This created a giant dark realm, only to be connected to all worlds through a simple door on each of them. The fool to open the doors would be heralded by Xanthar Prime.
Morals: Corrupt and vengeful, Xanthar Prime seeks to have Xernathia connected to all the planets and then wage intergalactic war upon them all.
Mission: Intergalactic war.

name: Alan White
Gender: male
Race: Human (white european)
Age: 32
Occupation: professional alcoholic
Mission: Give Up Drinking
Equipment: Knuckleduster, lockpicks
Morals: few and far between.
Story:
Alan used to be a hard man, collecting "protection money" and organising/keeping in line a large proportion of London dealers for his boss, a shadowy man he only ever knew as Big C. This all ended in a night of hell and bloodshed which left Alan the only surviving gang member, and on the run.
Several years and identity changes later, Alan is now a burnt out barfly in [wherever this story is set]. He has seen and done dark things, and eventually started hearing voices. Hence the drink, its the only thing which keeps them quiet.
The only thing which allowed Alan, a seemingly two-bit crook, to survive, is that he has something which he would completely deny was a sixth sense. He knows when to cut and run, and is adept at shaking off pursuit and misleading anyone trying to track him.

Dyce Fondoa
Male, 28
Equiped with a sabre, flichion gun, grenades, hacking tools
Background:
Lives a quiet life as the owner of a starbucks-krispey kreme doughnut complex which is treated like a pub without alcohol. He was once a warlord of sorts and obsessed with destruction. Nobody knows why he gave up his life of bloodshed to spend years in confinement and then open a coffee shop.
One day, 10 years afterward, he was hypnotically drawn away from the city. He awoke and returned to the city to find it a pile of smoldering ashes. He knew somehow that it was all an attempt to kill him. Knowing that he was endangering the planet, he hijacked a ship and left.

Mmm...no. Hahaha, I know what you mean, though. Actually, I had thought of this idea for a fourth novel in my Tara series even before I read DT II.
LosPollos
06-16-2006, 01:59 PM
Name: LosPollos, chicken of everbringing torment
Gender, Age: Male, undetermined
Race: Mystically enhanced Chicken
Equipment: Alkaseltser for self-destructing attacks, metal talons and beak
Background info/Character personality: After years of herasment from those who joke about him crossing the road, for several stupid reasons, a mad scientest decided to try out these "theories" and see why exactly a chicken would cross the road. He developed a potion that gave him the ability of instant reincarnation. After escaping the clutches of the mad man, LosPollos escaped when he was hit by a truck, during the "to escape from your ugly face" experiment, and was wedged into the bumper for 50 miles.
LosPollos, chicken of everbringing torment, now uses alkaseltser, in combination with his reincarnation ability, to put the pain on anyone who has the nerve to crack a chicken crossing the road joke, or is stupid enough to think that the egg came first.
Morals/Current mission: Destroy all elementary school joke books.
