Okay friends! The IC thread has been posted up, and I started it up with my surprise element I will explain now; and a bit of a recap preparation post for Lilium!
[Here it Is! Click Here!]
So I need to begin with the importance of the tags "IC" and "OOC". The IC thread needs to be ONLY character posts from all of us. Nothing else. No "(OOC): blah blah blah". All of that needs to be put in this thread, that's why this is Labeled OOC.
Next, I need to explain what I am going to be doing different in this RP than most other RP's out there. I'm going to have descriptive, setting posts fairly often. This is to set tone, emotion and depth to the RP and keep everything more "alive" if you will. With each of these, they are going to be in 2nd person- meaning I'm going to be doing it from the set perspective for all of you as WRITERS. This is important. When I say writers, I mean specifically each of you. I'm not going to be doing 2nd person posts for each of your individual characters, because that is immersion breaking, and character controlling. The reason I am going to be doing it like this is because it is the same fashion a DnD GM/DM would be doing it, and as I think a proper RP directer should.
You'll notice that I have put music into the entry post of the thread, and the first "Adventure Hook". This only adds to the point of the 2nd person posts, and I think it adds a new layer of depth to an already depth filled story. To me, it brings vibrancy to to a story I want to be alive. With that, I would like to ask that you refrain from posting your own music in your posts in the IC. If you have a song that you think would fit for a moment, please bring it up here and we can discuss it here. This is for the same reason as why I'd like no "(ooc): blah blah" type posts; it breaks immersion.
Hopefully all of that bit makes sense, and I really really really hope you guys enjoy it. I really enjoy it quite a bit, and I wanted to surprise you guys
You'll also notice the sudden dark tone, and my inclusion of the "Horror" tag. This is because this is a sort of call back to an old RP I wrote out, which I was really passionate about making, and I never got to use the arch I had planned. So I specially rewrote and revamped my old plan, so that we could all bring it to life together! You guys aren't the ones in charge of the horror aspect, however. That's important. Your part is to live through your characters in this dark world I am hoping to create for you guys. This is where the 2nd person posts, and sound track is going to come in
Now, I'm going to mention that I did do a short prelude to our story here, that gives some depth to Lilium as a character, and as the leader of a merry band of heroes. It also brings a lot of valuable context to the setup of our story, along with a bit of lore and buildup. You don't have to read it, nor am I asking or requiring too. It's just a totally optional route you can take if you would like to. I'm only bringing it up because it helped me by giving context etc. etc. [Click for that Story]
Before anybody posts for their characters in the IC, I'd like to get a short discussion going here, as to where each of your characters could start, that way we can get a smooth start going! Because I think the best way to develop this story is via Out of Character - writer to writer discussion. Makes for wonderfully put together posts!
Hope you guys are all doing well! Hope you like what I've made for us so far! And can't wait to get talking with you guys and get this thing rolling!
