Back when Heroes was airing for the first time, I RPed Mohinder Suresh throughout the entire run of the show and had a blast with him for years. Reading over old threads again, I keep having this intense desire to pick him back up, although I'd have to do a major canon review. (15 years. It has been 15 YEARS.)

I think he'd do well as a LCW, since I've only seen a couple people still playing from the canon, but for the sake of potential castmates, do you think watching Heroes Reborn would be necessary? (I'm familiar with spoilers from it, so that's not a worry, but haven't actually watched it.) I think I'd prefer to just take Mohinder from an early enough canonpoint to avoid it, at least for now, but it seems like others are playing more from supplemental/sequel stuff beyond the original series.

Would there be much interest in him? He was just such a fun character to play, even if doing crosscanon stuff with him would be pretty new for me. I'd love to give him another shot.

GAME ADVERTISEMENTS

annexed⠸ a sci-fantasy revolution game⠸ reserves and apps open!

[modaccount]

Welcome to the Broken World.

You can't even remember how you got here.

All you know is that one moment you were in a world you were used to, comfortable in. It might have been a regular day or the most important day of your life. You wake up in what seems like the blink of an eye, nauseous and dizzy but otherwise unscathed, barefoot and dressed only in a set of plain grey clothing, trapped in an empty room. You start to lose track of time, the only sound the distant ticking of what sounds like a massive clock.

Just when things seem hopeless, when you feel like you're about to go mad, there's the sound of a commotion outside your door, and when the door opens, there's someone there ready to whisk you away. There's an opportunity to fight back.

---

Set on the Broken world, Annexed is a sci-fantasy panfandom game. Characters are kidnapped by the Sylphid, a race of magical creatures who reproduce by hollowing out the bodies of sentient creatures and inhabiting them, but immediately freed by an underground rebellion group called the Witches who seek to restore the world to what it was before the Sylphid annexed it. Characters joining the Witches are promised either a new home on their restored world, or access to the magitech that brought them to this world so they can return to their own. They are also tied to the energy of one of the planets - Heba or Tian - which will grant them the opportunity to develop different powers, and tasked with finding a Tether with someone tied to the energy of the opposite planet in order to maintain their energy balance lest they die slowly while losing their minds.

GAME IDEAS

[socksuke_uchiha]

[sockmedead]

had an idea for a pokemon game based in a new region a bit of time after legends: arceus focused on face-to-face interactions, quests, the option of fighting wardens/town leaders, participating in shows or simply unraveling the lore to either get back home or stay where they are, with a bit of an overarching plot that carries the game along and gives people things to do all while keeping laidback as an ooc environment (easy ac, maybe invite only? idk). was thinking less slice of life and more something interactive, including an antagonist group to help shake things up from time to time. thing is..... i do not have time to mod!

anyone interested in picking a project like that up (with the option to then have helper mods send apps in and join the team, or call in friends you know would like to help)? i already have the journal names and some of the coding done, but even that is something i do not have the proper time to invest in to come out in a timely manner. with my pacing and life priorities, it's going to take.... forever. i could probably help from the sidelines with the general ideas and planning, but i'd need help to come up with the bulk remaining, including world-building and monthly events to keep it from being too boring. i basically imagine something not overly complicated in gameplay, but at the same time still fun to be in and play out if adventure is in your tastes.

pp this sock if you're interested. any suggestions on what people would like to see from a possible pokemon game, feel free to drop a line too!

CHARACTER ADVICE

Animal Characters

[(Anonymous)]

I'm working on an OC who's your ordinary example of its animal species physically but human-like in sentience and language. Now I'm beginning to feel tempted to take them to a game, so I wanted to hear what experiences others have made with playing animal characters in games (canon or original)? Anything I should be particularly attentive towards? What can I expect in terms of CR? I'm aware that the combination of an OC and animal physique might mean I need to put in a good deal more work to get play, but that's fine! I could just really need some pointers, have never tried playing an animal character before.

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA

I know this is probably the longest of long shots, but I was rewatching the Narnia movies over the holidays and was struck by the strongest nostalgia. Hoping that there may be anyone interested in writing castmates (especially siblings) for Susan here.

KINKS YOU WANT TO PLAY

[socksuke_uchiha]

m/m, omegaverse

[versedsocks]

I'd like to play an omegaverse scene! I'll start off by saying that while I don't care for playing out mpreg, I'm happy with it being a component of the setting, and I'm fine with all the other omegaverse standards (i.e.: heat, knotting, social stratification, and so on). I'm also happy to include other situation/scenario kinks like kemonomimi/animal people, teacher/student, age gaps, incest, other forms of power imbalance, and so on.

Here are some of the scene ideas I have.

- Omega goes into heat for the first time and goes to Alpha for assistance. Assistance ends up coming in the form of Alpha fucking Omega senseless.

- Omega is confident, domineering, and a bully, so everyone assumes he's going to be an alpha. Alpha is an alpha, but is very chill, mild mannered, and one of Omega's favorite bullying targets. But then Omega goes into his first heat while Alpha is the only one around, and their dynamic is quickly reversed.

- Alpha is a king/general/other high ranked individual, and Omega is a spy using magic/drugs/whatever to pose as a beta. But one day Omega's suppression methods fail and Alpha, realizing he must be a spy, decides to claim him to keep him under control.

- Alphas are uncommon, while omegas are exceedingly rare. Thus, Omega is kept secluded by his overprotective parents (probably royals or nobility). Alpha is the son of a trusted friend (probably a general or guardsman). Alpha and Omega meet on accident and fall in love (or just lust) at first sight. Though their parents try to keep them apart Alpha starts regularly sneaking into Omega's room at night.

Or we could play a scenario that you have in mind! Regardless, I'm happy playing either role. PM me and we can talk details.

(Reposting since I caught the tail end of last post!)

Re: NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

in general: do more of what I want and less of what I don't want, which sounds trite but I'm tired of putting myself out there to be helpful to people who don't appreciate it, and deserve to put that time into me and my joy

in rp: complain less. it takes away time from what I enjoy

MEME IDEAS

Re: MEME IDEAS

[(Anonymous)]

characters are given one million dollars (or credits or GP or whatever) between them and must spend as much of it as they can in 24 hours or they get nothing.

maybe with optional extra rules like the pair have to both agree to spend it on any one particular thing, so there's the a change for conflict on top of shenanigans

i hope that private games don't become a long-term/permanent trend. i understand why people do it, but it kind of sucks when the barrier is knowing the right people to be part of the game.

just kind of wondering as i look at games right now.

i am finally getting the cross-canon ship of my dreams and i'm so happy about it

[(Anonymous)]

rp anons, i need some brutal honesty.

have we reached the point where typing [ like this??? lmao ] or making jokes in your tags is cringy and out of style? capslock humor, gag tags, etc.

i like doing it because it was the style when i got involved with the rp scene and it's part of my humor now but if i'm being cringe and it might be keeping people from wanting to play with me, i'd like to know because i've also never gotten feedback about it, so maybe i'm over thinking it.

thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

The one, true answer here is... it depends.

Some people are fine with that. There are still ecats games out there, and a lot of people who make jokes about the scenario or the characters themselves in the narration of their tags. There are some people who think it's only good if done ~ironically~. And there's some people who hate it because it takes them out of the scene and comes off as if you aren't taking their time and effort seriously.

It just depends on the kind of play you have going and the style of your partner(s).

When Bakerstreet becomes The Love Hotel and people have to make new comms just to get gen memes....

And I'm someone who ENJOYS shipping/smut, but it's been so out of hand lately. Bakerstreet is oversaturated with smut and shipping to the point where I don't even want to bother playing there anymore. There should be a one smut meme rule a day or something, because it's just not even feasible/fun to get the same six "will you fuck my character??" memes on repeat.

[(Anonymous)]

Someone just did the metrics for the last 4 days of bakerstreet memes. It's a ratio of 13 gen to 17 smut. There are a number of gen options, even if it's not a genuine 50:50.

RP arcs you weren't able to make

[(Anonymous)]

Drawing something made me remember old plots that were in my head long ago. I then wondered how common was it.

Do you have some RP arcs for a character or more than you wanted to play with, be them of a handful of threads or something lasting for a long while, that you weren't able to do for any reason? (Characters developing differently, focus on others, situation never came up, lack of time or partners for it, etc).

If so, what did you have in mind for said arc?

[(Anonymous)]

- Back in the day in one ancient game by now, when I wasn't sure where would my character go, I was kind of expecting some sort of terrible revelation about her canon, which would have made her reject her allegiance to them. While at first it would've made her go into utter denial of who she used to be, in the end, I wanted it to become her path for freedom.

- One of my itches of roleplaying a character from a SOL canon becoming a legitimate heroine and badass was fulfilled thanks to a friend of mine, and I couldn't be happier for the character development we gave her through a long-running PSL. That said, given she'd basically be like the Hobbits returning to the Shire after their big quest (in that they feel isolated from the rest of their community after the things they saw and did), I kind of wanted some short arc of her canon friends achieving something similar, so they know and can follow their friend through that same path.
