Ok, this is my second time making a RPG, and I hope there will be some people that will participate.

The plot is about you, a new maid, are being hired by a very rich family to do the usual things a maid is supposed to do.

But there's a catch. The inhabitants aren't... exactly normal, and neither is the house...

So, naturally, you can create your maid's name, age, species, description, whatever you can think of. If anyone is interested in this, feel free to sign up.

I'm interested. Should I random roll or are we allowed to tweek our characters?

Assuming we need to roll up character:

Name: 1/DA (or Wanda) Age: Physiological Age: 21, Actual Age: 0 at start of game. Maid Type: Pure / Cool

Maid Colors: - Clothes:Metallic - Eyes: Navy-Blue - Hair: Indigo

Special Qualities: Brown Skin, Android/Gynoid, (optional: Delinquent - Tattoo, Shapeshifter - fox)

Maid Roots: Unrequitted Love

Stress Explosion: Stealing

(Optional) Maid Weapon: Stun Gun

Maid Power: Ultimate Menu (Add +1 to your skill for the purpose of cooking)

Athletics: 2 Affection: 2 Skill: 3 Cunning: 1 Luck: 2 Will: 2

Favor: 4 Spirit: 20

Story: Wanda is an android maid, created by the Cyberdyner line to cook and clean. Shipped to the mansion, she is to be activated in the presence of her owner. Her personality matrix will automatically cause her to fall in love with whoever activates her for the first time, presumably by the person who will be her master. She is pre-programmed with basic maid skills and advanced culinary skills. A glitch in her programming causes her to respond to emotional overloads by stealing. She can taste but only has a limited capacity to eat. Instead, she recharges during the night, dormant in a state much like that of human sleep. She needs on average about six hours of 'sleep' per day.

Optional: To help protect her employer's property (which includes herself), she has a stun gun/tazer built into her right hand. To use, she can either poke someone with her index and pinky finger, or fire a dart from each of those two fingers. Since the power for the tazer comes from her own power, she can only use this a limited number of times before she has to recharge(Think cast from life points) and using the long range version, she has to retract the wires between firing and has limited range. At the base of her spine she has a Cyberdyner Logo (The letters 'CD' in futuristic font) set above a metallic fox-tail. The tail helps her to maintain her balance when trying to run fast or cross narrow areas, but she normally keeps her tail hidden. She also has a pair of retractable box ears, which she can extend to boost her hearing and also receive radio transmissions.

Here's something I rolled up a while back.

Name: Corel

Age: 21

Maid Type: dual Heroine

Maid Colors: Clothes: Black. Eyes: yellow, Hair: orange

Special Qualities: Princess, Former Delinquent, Tiger, Easygoing

Maid roots: Distant Relative

Stress Explosion: Seclusion

Maid Power: Tenacity (take 2 stress to get back up after defeat), Cooked with love (her cooking heals the diner by 1d6 stress)

Weapon: Spear

Athletics: 1, Affection: 3, Skill: 3, Cunning: 2, Luck: 1, Will: 4

Favor: 6, Spirit: 40

Story: Corel is the daughter of a high-ranking family with a few secrets of their own, although they consider her something of a black sheep. She was seldom serious about anything, and often went out on the town to take part in street fights, which ran the risk of exposing them. Eventually, they decided to just ship her off to the in-laws and let them put her to work.

While normally friendly, she has a tendency to barricade herself in her room when things get too stressful. However, her easygoing attitude hides a strong will, so few have seen this happen.

I'll understand if this doesn't fit in with the main story you have in mind.

[up] That's pretty good, actually.

Anyways, I'll naturally be playing the family members and the staff of the house, but I'll play as a maid, too.

I'm interested in joining, but I have a question. Is this going to be over a chat of some kind, or on a play-by-post on the forum?

Draco234 Since: Dec, 1969

It'll be a play-by-post RPG, of course.

And yes, I'll be using basic rules. But I'll be adding a few more rules of my own as well.

Since everyone else seems to be rolling four special qualities and weapons, I went and rolled also. I got delinquent-tattoo, Shapeshifter-fox, and Stungun. I went and added that to my profile.

Is it too late to join? If not, I'd like to put in my application:

Name: Lily

Age: 18

Uniform Color: Sky Blue

Hair Color: Green

Eye Color: Pink

Maid Types: Double Sexy

Special Qualities: Greedy, Dark Past (Former Delinquent), Shapeshifter (Lioness), Nekomimi

Favored Attribute: Cunning

Maid Power: Coercion

Maid Roots: Illegitimate Child

Maid Weapon: Wooden Sword

Stress Explosion: Racing

Athletics: 2, Affection: 3, Skill: 1, Cunning: 5, Luck: 2, Will: 0

Starting Favor: 6

Starting Spirit: 0

Before/After the master was born, one of their parents decided to have some fun with a shapeshifter lion wo/man. Desperate to sweep this under the rug, but still wanting to see the resulting child on a regular basis, Lily was introduced to the rest of the staff as an "orphan", being taken in and set to work as a maid out of the goodness of the master's heart. Lily, however, knows of her actual parentage; whether or not the current master does is up to you to decide. They explained away the cat ears and tail (if necessary) by saying they thought she'd look cute cosplaying.

While appreciative of the fact that at least they didn't kick her out, she wasvery very bitter about the fact her parentage isn't being acknowledged. Thus, she turned to a street gang; while her ears, tail, and teeth were somewhat distracting at first, she, using her natural abilities at manipulating people (plus beating the crap out of anybody who brought it up) meant that it stopped being an issue. It was here she learned that if you wanna get ahead in the world, you need money, and she started obsessing over it. Likewise, it was here that she got her love for going fast, which she does whenever the current mansion is too annoying for her.

Eventually, she began to want to check on her half sibling, and she quit her life of crime to go back to work at the mansion. She's absolutely terrible at it, preferring to spend the time she should've spent practicing the maiding racing cars and such, but at least she's trying. Lily has a natural talent for manipulating people; on the other hand, her life has left her a broken woman, and she gives up way too easily.

Double Post, because I'm actually application-ing.

  • Name: Saki Sasaki

  • Age: 14

  • Maid Type: Boyish, Pure

  • Maid Colors:
    • Clothes: Pink
    • Eyes: Cream
    • Hair: Cream (Cream hair? Stupid dice... :/)

  • Special Qualities: Tragic Love (Betrayal), Symbol (Star), Freckles, Delinquent (Rough Speak)

  • Maid roots: Returning a Favor

  • Stress Explosion: 'Rampage'

  • Maid Power: Trap (Even if she's not there at the time, she has a trap prepared in advance. This will most likely get... absurd. Heh heh heh...)

  • Weapon: Hand-to-Hand

  • Favored Attribute: Cunning

  • Skills:
    • Athletics: 4
    • Affection: 2
    • Skill: 2
    • Cunning: 5
    • Luck: 3
    • Will: 1

Favor: 4, Spirit: 10

Story: Though she began life as an overall normal girl, Saki's life took a turn for the worse when she began "dating" Kazuo Hirai (No relation), in middle school. The two hit it off for a while, and then something utterly horrible happened.

Saki hit puberty, and lost her childish charm. The end result? The mind and soul of a young, innocent girl... in the body that more closely resembled a male. She was immediately dumped, and the tragic result of this middle school romance deeply, deeply affected her.

She fell into a slump, after having her life brought crashing down around her ears. Fortunately, the master of a local mansion came to her aid, offering her the emotional support that she needed to pull through this. Grateful, Saki promised to, "Give ya back what's comin' to ya, with a little extra, yeah?"

Of course, by that, she meant, "I'm going to work as a maid later on."

So she did.

The star symbol is a reminder of the astronomic chances of her ever finding love ever again. Pessimistic, and way out there, but... that's Saki.
