[up]I suppose that you could GM/DM/Whatever if you want. I don't really care who D Ms as long as s/he's not a Killer Game Master.

Like I said, some make less sense than others.

Looks like I'm gonna have to act Team Mom and teacher here, smile Well, Maria, as I mentioned earlier you're allowed to customize everything but the dice rolls for stats. I think Bridal Training would be the best background for Belarus with kitchen knife as her weapon. Maybe the stress explosion would be violence or rampage. And let's not forget that the GM has to be Austria, since he's the master of the house. Magikarp, believe me, I HATE telling you that you're doing wrong once again but you forgot to change your maid power for a Will one. Inquitus, you forgot to put in what Athletics you have.

...I feel like a teacher grading test papers.

Okay class, I forgot something. Here's a Maid RPG that's already started. I want you to study it and write an essay on 3000 words of what you've learned. XD, just kidding. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=hibgqetdp04hiyimzpstf7qz&page=1

Maid RPG - A Study

Source used: Maids for the Archmagos: A Maid RPG.

After intensive study, and a careful analysis of the roleplay provided, I have identified several patterns, which can be divided into two broad categories. These are, respectively, "Common Roleplay Features" and "Subject-Specific Features", divided into such for ease of comprehension and dissemination.

The first category, "Common Roleplay Features", begins with the presence of a central person, who is called the 'Game Master' (frequently shortened by players and those discussing the game for convenience, and occasionally to denote a casual tone, to 'GM'). This 'Game Master' represents the rules and regulations of the game being played, and possesses the power to completely dictate the greater plot of the game, and only the laws of statistics and the actions of the players are out of the control of this person. It should be noted, however, that people who abuse the power this gives them are seriously derided and shunned among the roleplaying population. Thus, most 'Game Masters' instead strike a balance between creating and maintaining a cohesive and rule-abiding 'Game World' (the fictional location in which the game takes place), and simply playing the game in response to the other gamers, joining in on the simple fun of playing the game and the unconventional twists and turns that a probability-driven world deals out.

The way the Maid RPG game system handles the concept of the 'Game Master' differs slightly from the norm: the Game Master, instead of being the equivalent of a deity, takes physical form in the shape of the 'Master of the Mansion' (Possible synonyms exist). Thus, while restricted to some shape in that he/she cannot actively manipulate events concerning the players, they are granted a direct hand in resolving issues that arise, and the presence of a player figure in the 'Game World' fosters trust and companionship between the players and 'Game Master'.

The structure of Maid RPG as I have discerned it is as follows.

The players generate characters with various traits, skills, knowledge and personalities, either through selection aided by the use of the rulebook (as of yet unavailable for confirmation, as I was instructed to make use of only this site's data), or through online character generators. These also include a set of predetermined statistics in areas such as the characters' athletic ability, mental fortitude and other such fields. These are used for determining whether an action taken in the 'Game World' will succeed or fail, as well as to which degree it does so. The characters are called 'Maids', and are uniformly female, though male characters are possible. The 'Maids' are, as the name implies, maids in a household of some fashion, administered by the Game Master's character.

The appeal of the game lodges in this next fact: rules and the framework are provided for virtually any possible household that is based on a master-maid format to be represented - from modern mansions, past futuristic space-houses, through medieval castles, to fantastical dungeon-homesteads, with many other variants existing. The Maids aim to become as beloved to their master as possible, performing all maner of tasks, from doing housework amid the masters' study (which, as in all forms of popular media, typically disturbs some form of forbidden manuscript or mysterious book), to recapturing the masters' exotic pets. Depending on the success or failure of these tasks, the Maids then gain 'Favor' with the master, representing the trust and respect for the Maid rising in the Masters' eyes. The endpoint of the game is undefined, as there appears to be no actual upper limit to Favor.

Righto then. That's at least 300 words, and because I made it look so professional, every word counts ten times over. Therefore, I'm finished. XP

...Okay, I'm officially impressed. A+ Yeah, I don't have a rulebook either, and since I'm from Sweden and just fifteen years old, it's a WEE bit troublesome for me to order one.

So I guess you got the basics too now? Good. Students, watch miss Inquitus' essay if you have any questions that needs to be answered. Hehe, being a teacher is fun~

Because of the fact that -Points almost all the way to the top of the page- I had a skill ability written on my character sheet despite my favored attribute being will.

If it makes you feel better, I can't see any more wrongs. There's a small spelling mistake, but I'll let that pass. And Iniquitus, you're right, this IS going to be fun. If we can find an Austria that is.

Eh, I got time.

Or should we just get started anyway, and let people move in as things happen? I know I need to learn how to play this sort of thing...

That might work. I kind of need to learn how this game works too. tongue But who would be the GM?

Well, let's see. I don't know anything about Maid RPG other than what I read on its page on this wiki. As far as I understand, the most important features I see are...

-Every character is a girl -Everyone is a maid -Almost everyone is a Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot -Hilarity Ensues. It's not Maid RPG if hilarity doesn't ensue

  • Is a guy who mostly does serious R Ps*

... THIS IS THE PERFECT RP FOR MY TROPER ESTABLISHING MOMENT! ... but before I join with a randomized maid from that link given earlier, this RP isn't cancelled or anything, right? No point in joining an RP that won't start (And I hope it will start, for great lulz)

Don't worry, we're just hoping a GM will be sent down from heaven. And there is ONE male, the master of the mansion AKA the GM. However, this will be based of the anime Axis Powers Hetalia so it would be preferable if you used a character from that. But I guess we can allow somebody who's not a fan too to create their own character, I'm not picky. Just don't make it too mature, this is a lighthearted RPG. Read Inquitus' (or whatever it's spelled like) essay for closer information and, if you want to, the roleplay in action I supplied.

Hello, new person! There can be more than one male. Like my character...But he doesn't entirely count because he's a cross dresser...Anyway, hello!

Hello to both of you! I'll admit, I never even HEARD of Axis Powers Hetalia, but thank you for letting me make my own character (But at least Hilarity Ensues as I try to figure out what the crap goes on). Also, I would NEVER make anything too mature, I joined this because I thought it WOULD be lighthearted! So, let's see... *Keeps on randomizing* ... I'll admit, I'm somewhat picky when it comes to making characters (Not for many other things, mostly character making), so this might be a little while if that's alright... ^_^'

I'm gonna mix up a bunch of results from my many random generations, if that's not a problem.

Name: Cedi

Age: 15

Athletics: 2-1 (1)

Affection: 2-1 (1)

Skill: 3+1 (4)

Cunning: 3

Luck: 2+1 (3)

Will: 2

Uniform Color: Blue

Hair Color: Sky

Eye Color: Black

Maid Types: Cool & Lolita

Special Qualities: Magical Girl Boy, Glasses, Neat Freak, Easygoing, Mutant

Favored Attribute: Skill

Maid Power: Lock Picking

Maid Roots: Business

Maid Weapon: Magic

Stress Explosion: Racing

As far as Mutant goes, does that mean he can have some kind of odd physical trait, just for the sake of it? Does that mean I can give him wings (Of the Do Nothing variety)?

Well, its description (in the random character generator) is simply just "You have suffered some kind of strange mutation" so I assume it could be any kind of mutation you want (provided that it doesn't make the GM angry). So yes, I assume you could have wings. (Regardless of whether or not they do nothing.)

...So, you guys think there's room for a newbie to the game, or should I wait for the next one?

I'm not sure if we still have room or not, but whether or not you're a newbie does not matter because almost everyone here is a newbie too.
