Across Universes (Discussion)

Since We Are Our Action Avatars has died and folded into WAOA, and unfolding it would just cause a whole new set of issues, and because we wanted to start fresh, and retry a smaller scale and the journey up..... I am creating a new RP that will be run in a manner quite similar.

Rules:

• Before you read the rules below, read this.
• 1. If your going to have a plot, you have to outline it to us before you apply it to the RP proper no matter how big or small it is.
• 2. The RP can hold up to a limited number of simultaneous plots.
• 3. Don't godmode. If you have questions, ask, and we'll determine what is fair.
• 4. Tentatively, this is NOT the same universe as WAOA, do NOT make crossovers or refrences to it at this time. While this rule may be relaxed some in the future, even if it is so PLEASE discusss all crossovers in the discussion first, scaling is under tight control and WAOA can smash it with a sledge hammer.
• 5. After one or two plots are finished, let our characters cool down for the moment. Having danger surrounding them all the time can be really stressful in-universe and to most players.
• 6. No Metagaming, please.
• 7. DO NOT GO RAILROADING CHARACTERS/PLAYERS INTO YOUR OWN PLOTS OR INTERACTING WITH THEM WITHOUT ASKING PERMISSION. It's rude, it can lead to massive confusion, and it smacks of recklessness. If you want to get somebody to join in a plot, make sure they are fully on board with your idea before you try to go forward with it. If you want your characters to do something with a certain character, make sure the player that plays that character has given you their full consent. Do not jump the gun under any circumstances. Also, do not integrate other player's characters into your character's backstory without permission given beforehand. It has a high probability of causing massive continuity issues, in addition to being...rude.
• 8. Imca is the overall GM here but most things are run democraticly, she will only use her powers for vetos and tie breaking.
• 9. Punishments and Punitive actions will be handled by concencus among the playerbase, no one person will have the power over others.
• 10. Due to a long painful history, complaints, insults, and outright arguments are greatly discouraged. If you have a problem regarding the RP, write it in a form of a critique or simply state it politely and we must reply them without letting our emotions or egos get in the way. The discussion is a place to analyze and solve problem, not to make them worse and degenerate into bickering. Remember the main purpose this place, discussions.
• 11. Every one that joins the group is given a free radio, no exceptions. This rule will be back because of how usefull it is, and how much easier it makes things, but not until the cast is orginized agian and it makes sense.
• 12. Any thing involving the "Whole Multiverse" will instantly be rejected, no exceptions, due to not working as a concept, you can't have all of an infinite set where every one is different, and because the players them selfs hate the idea of any thing affecting every thing. Every dimension, everything is just a mere speck to an endless existence itself. It's not going to work in WAOA, it's not going to work here either.
  • 12-A. We are open to you resubmitting said plot, reworked to not be as bighuge, but if you can't, then we will not accept or play it.

---

In regards to characters power levels, here are a few guidelines:

• A charecter should not be any stronger then a W H40k space marine in terms of raw power, this is a tentative restriction and will likley eventualy be expanded outward as the RP scales up, but given that part of the reboot is to reset the scaling lets start small.
• No charetcer who can create objects out of thin air, some times the G Ms want to impose a resource restriction, or for various other reasons ex: needing a key for a door, these types of powers can wholy break those plots.
• No instant healing, while most of the time we like charecters to get healed after injuries there are cases where for story or dramatic tension we want those injuries to stick, instant healing just imposes massive fridge logic on those situations.

---

In order for you to join, you must have a profile for your character by filling up this sign-up sheet and posting it here, then just let us know you did so. While this process is a bit more complex then it was before, an issue we always had was loosing the charecter sheets which this will help avoid.

• Name:
• Sex:
• Race:
• Age:
• Gear:
• Powers:
• Skills:
• Physical Abilities:
• Quick Traits:

If the charecter is a mage, please include a catagory titled "Spell Book", "Magical Notes" or something thematicly relevent to the type of mage they are, and fill it with as many details about there magic as you can think of, like what spells they know, or what specific elements they can control. A mage can be rejected if this is not specific enough, While this is a lot more work then mudane charecters have to go through, and I appoligize for implimenting it, it is much easier for mages to just evolve a solution to a problem and we need a way to curtail this.

Alright, since vehicles are tentatively okay, they also have there own sheet since they are diffrent entities others can posibly use, please try not to go overboard with military hardware at the moment, the example sheet would probaly be denied currently and exists only so we dont have to make a new one that would not be used.

• Name of Vehicle: If you can't understand this, you probably shouldn't be submitting one.
• Type of Vehicle: The class of vehicle if you are submitted. Is it a fighter? A bomber? A tank? Cargo Transport? Gunboat? What?
• Appearance: An image would be nice.
• Size: Can be relative or specific.
• Level of Armour: How tanky the thing is.
• Speed: Does your vehicle have to go fast, or does slow and steady win the race?
• Handling: How much of a bitch is it to fly/drive this thing? Does it make the corners or crash into the wall.
• Terrain Navigation Capabilities: Where can this thing work, and where doesn't it work?
• Weapons and Equipment: This is where your shootbangs and fancy doohickeys go.
• Modularity: If anything can be exchanged for anything else onboard, mark it down here.
• Quick Role Description: What does this thing do for us? Why pay for its maintenance and fuel?

Example form, the old WAOAA Gunship.

• Name of Vehicle: Redeemer
• Type of Vehicle: Gunship
• Appearance: Something like this◊
• Size: 40 meters
• Level of Armour: High
• Speed: Medium-Low
• Handling: Poor
• Terrain Navigation Capibilities: Atmospheric and 0g
• Weapons and Equipment: 6 dorsal railguns, 6 belly railguns, 2 cannons, 2 KKV launch bays, 20 tone cargo bay, crew transport space, and a short range warp drive.
• Modularity: Weapons can be swaped, crew transpot space can be used for cargo, warpdrive removable for extra sheilding or 4 drone bays.
• Quick Role Description: Landing people behind enemy lines, picking them up, light cargo transport, and fire support.

Some notes.

• The rules for vehicle approval is different from character approval, and that rule is. "they must compliment the infantry fighting force not replace it, or be independent of it"
• This means super prototypes will almost always be no-goed since they can do pretty much every thing
• Like wise an interceptor would be nogoed because its highly specialized role of killing bombers would never really be used.
• Modularity can be vague if needed, although I would prefer if you can be descriptive like in the example.
• Speed, Handling, and Armour are relative to vehicle type, a slow jet is still probably going to be faster then a tank with fast for its speed, likewise a heavily armoured gunship probably still has less survival capability then a light gun boat.
• Power armor may be subject to the sheet, depending on if the operator can be described as a wearer or pilot, this is a bury line, but a good rule of thumb is fallout 4 style power armor is subject, fallout 3 style power armor is not.

woo we're joining the pain train again :D

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

CHOO CHOO

Time to get suplexed by a train

...Wait a minute

We Are Our Avatars Forever (Now on Discord by invitation, PM)

Charecter sheets go here, post in the thread you are in right now once they are up.

While this is a bit more complex then the last system, it wil keep us from loosing them this time around as the discussion is used, a convinence which I think will more then ballance the extra step.

Oboi, this is gonna be good.

Be kind.

Character sheets are up.

They're kinda big. ._.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Okay, Spart, I feel really bad asking this since I know it is part of the cannon to reach.

But would it be okay to ask for Six to not be a pilot? With how deadly they are in front line combat adding piloting ontop of that is kinda overkill.

I will defer if no one else agrees though. >.<

Mine is up.

It is less than big. >.>

rai if you make a joke, I will end you.

You however are 100% A-OK there Neon, does Cindy come with a vehicle though, or are you okay waiting to see what we find?

That's a fair nerf.

Sheet edited to reflect change.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Any alterations for the characters I'm bringing over?

No vehicle. Maybe like a personal motorcycle.

Curses. Foiled again.

On-topic, I have two ideas for characters, but one needs working on before I throw it up in the signup thread. So expect only one for now, if that's fine.

Kirb, you have yet to post them, so I dont know. >.<

@ Neon: Please decide before we start, either is fine, I will just need to re-do the plot slightly depending on what you settle on. :)

@ Rai: It is 100% fine. :)

I can go without for now.

Stop thinking I'm Kirb XD

It's the Cath avatar, man, it's an habit we can't break

Sorry Ethers, Foiks is right. D:

I'll wear it until you actually remember I own the character then.

EDIT: Char sheets posted now.

Okay, I need some clarification on what "Grim and Lighten things" is.

Also, Donna will have the issue of the fact we are NOT starting with any kind of spaceship.

You are good though.

Edit: Concerned about Derail slightly, want others to weigh in.

edited 31st Jul '16 5:01:48 PM by Imca

She's got the power to alter things to look more stereotypically dark and edgy or lighter and fluffier. It's mostly just aesthetic, though.

I just realized that I didn't put her cloak's abilities to alter itself into weaponry forms and the like. Might just get rid of the Grimm and Lightening since I've admittedly changed the emphasis on the character to a gunner anyway.

Posted.

Eth, do you have a picture of Derail's vehicle mode?

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Here ye go.◊

I'm not planning on introducing everyone from just this first planet. I'm fine with introducing them later.
