Hmm, you think we could set some kind of guidelines for the alien creations? I know that creativity is encouraged, but I have a feeling that there will be some people giving their characters fire-breathing and six wings or something

OOC True. So for guidelines, I'd suggest nothing outrageous like that. No overpowered stuff, nothing completely ridiculous...but really if it's nothing like that stuff, I think we'll be okay to let their imaginations run wild, I already have some ideas I'm excited for. Any other guidelines you can think of?

Honestly, not really, so hopefully people will be reasonable and not go too crazy with things

OOC Yeah and if they do, we can kind of tell them no too, sort of just monitor how crazy characters get and all. Will we want like, a layout for it? I can't make those.

Makes sense. What do you mean by layout? You mean like making one of those pretty banners or something? I have no clue how to do those

OOC Yeah, do we want one of those or should I just work out something with fonts and colors?

I guess fonts and colors. To be honest, I figure that white font is the easiest to read, so that should be on there, if you want to get creative with fonts, definitely make sure they're easy to read.

OOC Yeah I know. How do we want to format this though?
Like...
About Rules Joining form Characters ??? Anything else that we should add?

I figure that the About section could entail what the school is supposed to be and what the intention of it is in the first place. Other than that, I figure that it's pretty good, so I'm for it and figuring that it will be something great

OOC Yeah, also: any of these look good to you?
Test test test. Test test test. Test test test. Test test test. Test test test.
I dunno why they're so small, they normally aren't.

It's all good. I like the 3rd row since it's easy to read and it has a bit of a futuristic/robotic feel to it

OOC I was hoping you would say that, the third is my personal favorite.
So did you wanna split up what to work on? Like someone to write the "about" section, someone else to write the "rules" and so on and so forth? For the joining form though, I was thinking something like...
| Name | Species | Gender | Age | Sexuality maybe? | | Physical description | Personality | About the species | Other | | Screen name |
Something like that. Feel free to make any changes.

I can make up a set of rules, and I like the character form, it looks reasonable and well put together

OOC Alright awesome, I'll write the about section then. :3

Rules: (feel free for critiques and edit compromises) 1. Please respect the forum rules 2. Please write at least 5 sentences per each character response in order for the characters to be fleshed out and detailed so that people are interested in interacting with them. 3. Hate the character, not the user. Conflict and tensions in the rp are acceptable, except when they are between actual users, this will not be tolerated, since it doesn't make the thread enjoyable to be on. 4. Please be respectful. This rp is meant to promote diversity of all kinds, any "out-of-character" disrespect will not be tolerated 5. Please do not have mary/gary-sues, as this can frustrate many people if they are interacting with a perfect character, or a character with few flaws. 6. Please be reasonable with the creation of alien species. We are promoting diversity and creativity, but this does not ensure that a alien species with rainbow hair, elemental abilities, and six wings will be accepted. The creators do have the right to critique and ask for modifications of the race in regards to appearance, behaviors, customs...ect.
Okay, this is what I have, and in the form we should have a space for the grade/teacher position at the school

OOC They look good! Also yeah, I'll add that in for the form. For the grades though, how should it be? I was thinking for ages 14-24, so ten years, would we just have it be like grades from here or something more like... year 1 (14), year 2 (15) etc etc, like that?

That makes some sense, I figure that would be good to let people know the reasonable age ranges for the certain grades

OOC Yeah, also how's this for the about? Feel free to add.
Hello there! This here is a roleplay about an intergalactic school for future leaders, ambassadors, soldiers, and more. People from all over the galaxy come to this school, which is a giant space station orbiting around a neutral planet system. Here you can create any number of alien characters, feel free to let your imagination run wild, just please don't do something too crazy with your characters. The school is for ages 14-24, grades being 1 through 10 respectively, with classes in a number of different things. All aliens are equipped with a universal translator ear piece and an unseen oxygen piece for each of the aliens' needs. There are dorms fit for the aliens as well and it's just supposed to be a fun alien slice of life roleplay. The main planet that they orbit by is one full of cities and things for people to do in their spare time or for vacationing if they so desire. So please, go wild, have some fun, and let's see where this takes us.

OOC Alright awesome. Now we just need a name for the school and a title for the roleplay (maybe they can be the same thing.)

Making them the same thing makes some sense. It could be something like "Intergalactic Federation Academy" since inter means between or among

OOC I like it. Also I thought of adding an alien species glossary thing, to keep track of all the species we include.

Post by Rivermagic on Jan 30, 2017 20:14:27 GMT -5
A glossary sounds great! We should definitely recommend that the people make their alien species as detailed as possible, and include an actual picture (i figure people can be inspired my artworks from the internet) and we could insert the picture as a "spoiler" section with the description of the species

Post by 𝕊’𝕞𝕠𝕣𝕖 on Jan 30, 2017 20:17:03 GMT -5
OOC Sure! I'll could even try to draw some, see I'll show you what I was thinking...it's just a basic description and base for a species.
The Ruliva are a proud species, usually somewhere between 6'5 to 10' feet tall, they typically have a darker backside, ranging from colors of black to gray and dark brown, with a lighter underside, either white, silver, gold, or cream. They typically have large pointed ears and sharp teeth, with long skin tails. They're stronger than humans and have excellent hearing. They're brash and abrasive, a very proud species with often disturbing qualities that make them well feared by others. Ruliva hail from the planet Rulivan and tend to not like people from anywhere else.

Yes, that's great, here's what I meant with the whole image thing...pinterest is a great source for art For example The Cybrion species is best described as a bionic organism. The average height ranges from 5' to 6' for an adult. Their skin and lights range in various colors. Their figures are relatively humanoid, yet it is hard to differentiate the sexes of this species, but they do identify with specific genders. Gems and precious stones are markings for higher status, and they obey a strict class system. Even so, valor and chivalry is highly valued in their society, and most aim to become high-ranking warriors. (this is pretty basic, but my point is this: )

I guess so if they're unable to find what they have in mind, but I figure artwork should be encoraged

OOC Alright, should we add a rule about that? Like...we encourage you to either find or draw a picture of your alien species, though it is not needed.
