With a change of GM, the RP group figured that I need to get a new set of thread going for a fresh start, along with more control over OP(and also I don't need to bug Star on changing the OP every time.)

With that being said, here's the main thing:

Hello and happy summers, people! And what better way to kick off our coming summers than with a little road trip? A fantasy road trip RP is one I've been wanting to participate in for a while, but since I haven't had any takers on people wanting to GM it, I decided to take up the mantle and do it myself.

Now then, the goal of this RP is a lighthearted romp of a group of friends through a wild country of all sorts of eclectic landmarks, with maybe a light touch of character drama so we can get some good old character development and deepening of relationships going. This is not, I repeat, NOT a combat oriented RP, or one where brooding is the name of the game, so please, keep that in mind when making your characters.

Speaking of, with regards to characters, feel free to go nuts with the races. We're a fantasy setting, so go crazy with them! That being said, don't try to be too special snowflake with your people - high arbiter of angels or great princes of one of the nine hells are both big nos.

Now then, some ground rules! (Shout-Out to desdendelle for writing most of these in our first run of this RP.)

  • As always, standard rules apply.
  • Keep your posts legible. I'm not going to accept people with glaring spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors in their posts.
  • Related to that, put a minimal amount of effort into your posts. While a single sentence is better than no post at all, single-word posts are confusing and really not worth the time.
  • This RP is supposed to be rather light in tone. It can get a little serious — if character development or interaction requires it — but not too much.
  • World-building by the players is encouraged.
  • Speaking of, if our group is visiting a locale or landmark made by you, you can act as a "pseudo-GM" of the area, designing things for it and nudging players a bit to keep the interaction going.
  • For the sake of expediency, "NPCs" are controllable by any player involved in the scene they're in. Though try to keep them in-character with what the others have posted.

The sign-up sheet:

  • Name:
  • Age: The ideal range is teens to young adults, or whatever their equivalent would be for immortals and the old-aged races.
  • Gender:
  • Race: Pretty much everything goes, but try not to go too crazy. We're just small town folk here.
  • Appearance: Pictures and descriptions are both fine.
  • Personality: Keep this brief.
  • Bio: Also keep this brief.
  • Powers/Skills: Everything out of ordinary your character can do and those regular things that your character is also good at. We need at least two people as drivers.
  • Luggage: Watcha bringing along? I think things like cellphones, cash, and clothing can already be assumed, but anything else?
  • Other: Anything that doesn't fit in the other bullets goes here.

Another thing, since this is a road trip with friends, those who wants to join us at the start have to make up a relationship. For those who wants to join us later, the main RP group will just pick you up along the way, like a hitch-hiker or something like that.

Those who have applied to the old sign-up and have not drop out is still in.
