When is the main thread going up, out of curiosity?

Is everybody ready for some SCIENCE? ^note  note that from here on out, the kind of unscrupulous, unethical, and often unforeseen "research" that the Think Tank likes to conduct is known as SCIENCE, as opposed to the bland old control-group-and-peer-review type of science.

Who is ready for God Killer Chirico. I also only made him so old because he is frozen at the end of his series and then when thawed spends the next several years on his own.

Sometime next week, probably. Whenever we have enough players and I feel like everyone who showed their interest is in.

Hello. To everyone who hasn't met me, my name's troydenite - but you can call me Troy. Alright introductions over time for plotting.

If (assuming I get approved) I actually end up giving Team Saber control of an entire city, Saber, as King-Regent of Fuyuki City, will need to raise a functional militia out of circa-1995 Japanese Muggles. With the bulk of her experience being in pre-Norman times. With no visible means of arms production.

Does anyone have weapons to sell?

Sorry I'm taking so long with my sheet. I'm on vacation in Italy at the moment, and the wifi isn't the best. Plus I have to do all the typing on my phone.

Also, I've run into a problem with the backstory for my two (probably will be more) characters: I can't figure out how to make their backstories longer. They have enough material for a good-sized paragraph, but I can't get my brain out of the setting where it abbreviates everything. Is there someone who can give me advice on the matter?

@troy Marcus is most interested in expanding his market in light of the recent events. He has all manner of futuristic guns for sale for the militia.

Well, if I can get Mann.co into the mix then they would be the arms producers. Of course....we still have to answer the all important question: Will I be able to keep all of the cast?

I'll wait for strat on that one.

The Think Tank has a lot of very advanced weaponry in development. Of course, to foot the bill you may be required to take part in some perfectly harmless experiments...

Don't worry. Make it one paragraph if that's all you have.

Thanks Strat! I will hopefully have my sheet done in a day or two. Being in guided tours 24/7 makes it hard to work on. (Hi from Venice, by the way)

Consider my interest withdrawn. Great idea, looks like it's shaping up to be a great game, but I'm suffering from a lack of time and motivation.

As the chivalrous King of Knights, Saber frowns on unethical business/science practices, no matter how profitable.

Her Master doesn't care, so he'll snap them up.

muh gcr

Working on the inklings of the Battleworld map. I can confirm Riskville and Big MT will be chunk neighbors.

Suddenly, I'm wondering how Roxas is going to fare against the general power level we're seeing here. This trio is tough, but not godlike.

If I had the time and attention span, I would have signed up as Tommy Vercetti with Ken Rosenberg as support with his army of mooks brought in with a chunk of Vice City, and then try to reestablish his crime empire on Battleworld. But alas, my attention is bought by other threads, all I got on Tommy are Youtube walkthroughs, and I doubt I can effectively play this game if it requires the level of strategy I think its gonna need.

Ya, I'm with Too Many Ideas here. Kinda wishing I'd brought in at least 1 or 2 other vault hunters as supporting characters now lol. Ah well, I'll make do.

So the two scientifically-oriented factions are neighbors, huh? Interesting...

@Too Many Ideas I can actually picture Miko and Roxas giving each other a pretty good fight

I'm gonna have to pull out as well. This looks really really cool, but I don't think I'm up for the level of detail this requires, and the timing is really bad. Regardless, I'll be watching from the sidelines, and if you need more players, I'm always willing to join in!

I really like the concept here, and the level of detail necessary might get my forum RP blood pumping in earnest again. I'll probably put Dawn Over New York on the back burner for for this, and I'm almost definitely going to do Trigun.

Aw, man. Now I feel like I took one of Liz' players. And I'm on his RP!

Consider me on loan, if it makes you feel better. :p

If I could make a suggestion, based on your other R Ps, that the weak point seems to be enemies. In Beacon they were too generic, and in Out of Context the players took too much control in terms of villains. Maybe you should control an antagonistic chunk all your own, or have a few free agents roaming the area looking to make trouble. That way, if things start to drag for any reason, a man can burst into the room with a gun, so to speak.

I also think it's funny how Twilight Town is here, because this seems like just the kind of thing that would happen in Kingdom Hearts. :p
