Looking for someone who either already has one or someone who would be interested in making one with me. I'm mobile only so I struggle to make rps.

I haven't seen any about it yet, well I actually haven't been trying to, but I'd join one or maybe help make one.

I'd love help. Like I said I'm mobile and I haven't been on these forums for years. (I used to have a different account and the forums have drastically changed) I wouldn't know where to start really. Want to brainstorm?

Sure, how would you want it to be? Like when should it take place? Like just during the story time frame? And should the original characters be noticed at all or would it be just everyone's made up characters?

Two ideas: In 1990, 1991 after everyone has moved on from the happenings and it's another group of middle schoolers and high schoolers so everyone can have their own characters. Flashbacks of original characters could occur.
Orrrr same time in a different place with all new characters. All new characters could go meet original show characters to help them. Similarly there could be a branch of Hawkins lab where there's a telekinetic child or even better a few kids to make for more. Perhaps twins or triplets.

We could maybe combine the ideas? I don't know they're both good and leave room for lots of potential! If we do have people role playing powered characters though, we should limit it maybe so there's not an overabundance. One per person maybe? Or do you think that's still too much?

What if we had a couple powered players with one exactly like Eleven then new types of experiments? Maybe like I said a set of twins or triplets and thay be the only powered players. I'd like to keep the idea of having the middle school core group and high school core group.

Yeah, so it would be like a first come, first served thing, I think that's how the saying goes, lol. So unless someone goes inactive for a long amount of time, the first 2/3 people who wants to create a powered character get to. I like the idea of combining both of the plot but we'd have to decided whether it takes place during the show time frame or after.

I like the 80s really. It has a better horror feel. Kids had more freedom and weren't as closely watched. Makes for more possibilities.
First come is perfect. I like that.

So we basically go that plot now. How detailed should we have the front page. Like of course we'll probably have the basic rule and characters but should we create some sort of intro and describe have special land marks, like core/important places, within the rp. And should we make a little tldw for people who haven't seen the show and still want to rp? Oh and how literate should we make the rp, like should it just be however long you want to make your post or should there be a set length like 'Please write at least 2-3 lines of rp.' or should we just say write as much as they're comfortable with?
|

Post by Deleted on Sept 5, 2016 17:40:54 GMT -5
Sounds good to me. Triplets would be cool! As for literacy, I think it doesn't matter much as long as everyone knows the basic grammar rules. I prefer a decent length of post but I don't want to force anyone to do the same.
|
|

Post by e11e on Sept 5, 2016 17:43:27 GMT -5
My only request as far as literacy is third person role playing with full sentence structure. I.e. "Jane: *sits down*" vs "Jane sat down."
I'm okay with whatever length they need as long as it is able to built upon by another player.
I do think we need an intro about what ST is about (forewarning of spoilers if need be). It'd be helpful probably. Any ideas on that?

Post by Love on Sept 5, 2016 18:03:22 GMT -5
Hmm, I'm not sure how to describe ST fully. What main plot points should we include? I know we should include basic things a boy goes missing, his friends try to find him, they find a girl with the special powers, all in the while demogorgon running rampage. How are we gonna include Nancy/Jonathan and Joyce/Hopper? Like what special plot points do they have within the story that we should mention? And should we actually say the ending or just a brief summary?
|

Post by e11e on Sept 5, 2016 18:06:59 GMT -5
I'd say brief summary. Jonathan and Nancy try to hunt the monster. Joyce and Hopper get involved in government conspiracy theories to try to find her boy all the while she's haunted by the monster.
I'd like there to be OCs too. That's always the most fun is making your own and entangling them in their own romance, action and back stories.

Character form? Name: Age: Description: (eyes, hair, body type, etc) Personality (can be left blank if you wish to develop as you feel): Backstory: (again you can leave blank if you wish to develop) Rped by:

Yeah, that's good. And an Other: section in case they have something else to add like who their siblings are, if any, or a pre-rp crush, even though it would be better for people to have their characters talk to the other character before deciding on that crush but just in case.

Agreed. Rough draft.
In a small town called Hawkins there is hardly ever any excitement. Everyone knows everyone. The most exciting thing that happened was an owl attacking a local because it thought her hair was a nest. Until the night of November 6, 1983 when 12-year-old Will Byers vanishes mysteriously. Will's frantic mother, Joyce, searches for him while Police Chief Jim Hopper launches his own investigation around the town and in the heart of its best kept secret: Hawkins Lab. Meanwhile Will's friends Dustin, Mike and Lucas discover a psychokinetic girl during their own investigation. She claims to know Will's location and agrees to help them in their search. As they uncover the truth, a sinister government agency tries to cover it up, while a more insidious force lurks below the surface. A creature is haunting the sleepy town of Hawkins. Witnesses claim it can crawl out of walls. It is said to have no face but a hideous mouth that opens out of the faceless head. It resides in and opens portals to a parallel universe called the Upsidedown, a world exactly like ours but cold, dark, empty and hopeless. Once trapped...you may never return.

There's the summary of the show. How do we intermingle the other plot line into the rp?
|
|
|
Post by Love on Sept 5, 2016 18:49:23 GMT -5
I'm not the with ideas but maybe we could create more kids/teen to get taken, so it's not just Will and there can be a bigger plotline, like important school figures (ie class presidents/scholars that people are surprised missed a day, bullies who would always be there to tease other people but one day isn't,) and people actually take notice are realize that it's just not a coincidence that Will, and the other select few people are missing/presumed dead, and they search for the answer. Maybe one group ends up finding another group and realize how similar things are. And somehow a group ends up finding the the other powered people. I'm not totally sure to be honest.

Does someone want to type up the rp plots while I work on character forms and summary?

I'm surprised you wrote all that on a mobile. I'm sorry I couldn't help you with much, I'm so tired so all I would of wrote would've been mumbly. It looks pretty nice so far. I hope a lot of people join, it's kinda well known on Social Media and such so hopefully people will recognize/know about it.

I'll probably make a character for it tomorrow since I don't have any premade. I'm surprised you were able to plan the whole rp and make it within one day, 4-5 hours at that. I'll probably just lowkey, not so lowkey now, stalk the rp page for now.
