So if it's not obvious by my username (under di-stri it's invadervyx) I am entirely too much of a fan of the show (and now also comic, heck yeah) Invader Zim, and honestly Jhonen Vasquez in general. I've tried doing a sort of open Invader Zim roleplay before, long time ago, but it didn't really work out. Not enough interest, and honestly Invader Zim is not really the kind of thing where you'd have lots of diverse OCs interacting. So I'm gonna give this another try because I'm back in my IZ-obsessed mood and having finished what is published of the comics in 2 days I need a fix. Sooo presenting....
Whatever this is gonna be. Basically I'm thinking a small group, maybe like 3-6 people (or possibly a few more depending) of roleplayers who do the canon characters from Invader Zim. Sure, we can throw in some OCs here and there if we can make it work with the canon, but mostly it would be the antics of the canon characters: Zim, Dib, Gaz, GIR, and probably also ones like the Tallest, Tak, Membrane, or even Skoodge. Just for the record I am claiming Zim right now. Fight me.
So as for the rest of the concept... well, there really isn't one. It's basically the same as the show, except for a couple things. I'm thinking maybe it could have been a few years and the characters are a bit older now- likely middle school or even early high school (I believe Dib and Zim are canonically in 5th grade in the show/comic, so it would only be four years and they would be in "High Skool"). Zim, obviously, has still not managed to take over the Earth. Dib, most likely, is still trying to stop him from taking over the Earth. Gaz is still not caring. The Tallest are still plant-smashing and snacking. Other characters are also doing things.
Another note that I would like to mention is that I would also be 1000% up for a IZ/JtHM crossover, seeing as they canonically take place in the same world (and reference each other on occasion. Or, well, IZ references JtHM since it came first. But I digress). Also, like I said before, OCs can totally be a thing as long as you can make them fit the canon comfortably (working on how to fit my Irken, "Vyx", in there).
This would mostly be a closed roleplay. Once the major characters are all claimed, well, joining would be rare and very selective, and likely only for background characters or the occasional OC. As for the requirements of the roleplay, I prefer literate or semi-literate roleplayers, but as long as you have a basic level of literacy, that's acceptable. Obviously, you must be obsessed enough with the show (like me) to be able to portray your chosen canon character(s) with a reasonable level of accuracy, as well as have a pretty good knowledge of the general lore of the world, the tone and direction of the story, and of course the morbid and absurd sense of humor to keep it more-or-less in the style of the show we all know and love. For main characters, you should also be pretty active- particularly for characters like Dib, Gaz, GIR, and even the Tallest. Anyone who appears in the show every/most episodes should be on very frequently, probably at least once daily. If they appear, like, half the time, then the roleplayers should be on an appropriate amount for that. And so on. There's not really a science here just common sense I guess.
Soooo, who would be up for this?
