Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

that's a fair callout anon. i'm one of those ones who made a character be a high school student-- so i'll try to think outside the box there!

i'm sorry, anon, you're right. that was bitchy.

sa that said, if you want to get involved in the plot, we need to be tearing the industrial area apart right now. the last several events/npc interactions have all been giant 'head east' arrows. there was a keycard reader around the electric fence found today.

A meme tag with this guy, super dusty from before the great livejournal migration. Shaking him off a bit and hoping he'll stick around for a while.

Just a few quick ideas. Sorry if some of these aren't the BEST of the best, but they're the first ones that came to mind:

  • Doctors
  • Politicians
  • If you're really ambitious, you could try playing someone who starts off in prison or confined to a hospital bed. (Once their powers start to develop, they can escape/be "cured" of their illness)
  • A fake psychic who discovers they actually have psychic powers, but can't tell anyone about the new development without admitting that they've been totally faking it up until now.
  • Be a horse-handler or jockey who now has to deal with all of these chocobos.
  • Be a street kid who ran away from home and dropped out of school. They pick pockets to get by.
  • Be the owner or bartender of a bar where the seedy underbelly of Recolle hangs outs. Naturally, your unique position means you overhear a lot of interesting conversations. That's why you work as an information broker on the side.

i felt like we had more of these (some of them specifically, even) on the last workshop

Re: RECOLLE

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
we have at least 2 bartenders/bar owners in game i'm not sure about doctors.

we've got a few criminals, though apparently the mods absolutely will not allow you to have established gangs or syndicates of any kind, which is kind of a stop in that wheel.

Re: RECOLLE

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
that's all over the faq, so it's not that surprising. you have to start it in game or something, which is something to work to? or do it outside the city.

DON'T BELIEVE ONDORE'S LIES!

It's my fav, that and 9! Hopefully there will be a little surge of XII players though, with the remaster coming out in July. I've been meaning to play him again for ages, as he used to be my main man back on livejournal.

I'm always just as glad to see people playing from this, anon ♥

it's not really a fair rule since that doesn't apply to any other type of job, just criminals as far as i can tell.

Re: RECOLLE

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 07:03 am (UTC)(link)
i don't think anyone else is allowed to start at the "top" or whatever either. personally i'm more interested in starting a syndicate up than having one already set, though, so ymmv.

having a gang isn't really starting "at the top", anon. no one was apping a mafia don, but pretty much anyone interested in building any kind of established underbelly in the game is out of luck. they all have to be outsiders, and that's just weirdly restraining and creatively limiting. it's a part of the worldbuilding we're not allowed to touch, when everything else is open.

Re: RECOLLE

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
fair enough, though i do get why mods wouldn't want like 50 criminal gangs in the city to keep tabs of off the bat. that's what i figured the issue was, honestly.

Anyone else having an easier time tagging newbies over oldbies?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
Make a plurk about threads you're enjoying?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
This was where it all started for me, kids. I confess.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-10 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
i hope somebody tags you back soon, anon.

i once had to have a friend give me some last-minute ac because none of the 6+ posts/logs i'd tagged in the week before the new months and been boomeranging every time i received a response came even close to reaching the required length by 11:30 of the last night. it was infuriating.
