				Hi Raziel, Gingerscorpion, and AngelicFaith. <br><br>Since we don't have a work title yet for our coming story I figured Quadruple would fit for now, I'll change that later on. ;)<br><br>First of all, I'm looking forward to writing with you all in the story. I want to propose that we first figure out what kind of story we want to write. Our O/O's would be helpful for that.<br><br>Is there anything that you guys <em>don't</em> want to write about?<br>In addition, what kind of story <em>do</em> you want to write?<br><br>In my case my O/O's are quite simple; no vore or nasty body fluids, etc. I think that's something that goes for all of us though. I know Raziel's and AF's O/O's quite well, and I doubt Gingerscorpion is into any of that either. <br><br><br>The genres I like are:<br>- Adventure<br>- Horror<br>- Science fiction<br>- Contemporary<br><br>And to a lesser degree:<br>- Fantasy <br><br>The genres that I don't really like are:<br>- Western<br>- Historic<br><br><br>The settings I like are:<br>- Time travel<br>- Post apocalypse<br>- Survival<br><br>And to lesser degree:<br>- Outer space<br>- Other worlds<br><br>What I don't like:<br>- Any system based games where we need to roll dices. In my opinion we're all mature enough that we can do without, and I honestly don't think that we'll create a game that requires dices anyway.<br><br><br>What I'm hoping for is a game where survival of the fittest plays a major role, but I'm also really curious to the ideas that all of you have. Please post what you really want to see in the story, and I'm sure that we can conjure something up that we'd all love to write about. ;D<br><br>Once we figured out what we like and don't like we can make a selection of our favorite genres and settings, and narrow down what our game will be about.

				Hello Caitlin, AngelicFaith and Raziel. <br><br>I didn't respond sooner because well, I'm the least known in the group I think, so didn't want to be the next one to post. After thinking about it more though, I guess I should speak up because I <em>am</em> the least known. <br><br>From what I know of the idea that I read here, thanks to Caitlin and from what Raziel has told me about the discussion of it, it looks very interesting. I am looking forward to writing with everyone. <br><br>So, I'll say.. I posted a link to my O/O's under my sig, for anyone who might want to read it. I'm pretty open to most things and willing to try a lot. I will give a short run down on some things, here. <br><br>My don'ts:<br>~Vore<br>~Golden showers<br>~Feces<br>~Excessive blood<br>~Dismemberment (Thank you Raziel for pointing this out. When I say I don't do dismemberment, I mean to my characters that I'm playing. I have no problem with dismembering an NPC, like a zombie or villain for example. :) )<br><br>Other then the things above, I'm pretty open to a lot of things. Unless I haven't heard of it yet, then we'll have to discuss it, of course. :)<br><br>As for genres, the only ones that I don't care for are Historical. Any others, I'm game. <br><br>I'm fairly open for settings. I haven't found one that I didn't want to do yet. <br><br>I'd have to agree with Caitlin on the dice system. I'd rather not do anything where that is a must. <br><br>Hope this helps some with everyone getting to know me a little more. I look forward to hearing everyone's ideas as well and I think a type of survivor game would be very interesting indeed. <br><br>Thank you for starting the thread Caitlin. <br><br>Look forward to talking to everyone. Have a wonderful day, AngelicFaith, Caitlin and Raziel.

				Hello Caitlin, AngelicFaith and Ginger.<br><br>First of all I look forward to writing with everyone here, you're all talented writers so I'm sure we'll come up with something awesome together.<br><br>Story wise I'm open for anything besides Historical, which matches Caitlin's (FYI Still weird calling you that on here dude :P.) and Ginger's<br><br>O/O wise Vore, bodily fluids are a no for me, anything else I'm game.<br><br>Genres:<br>- Adventure<br>- Horror<br>- Science fiction<br>- Fantasy<br>- Cult<br><br>And pretty much the others besides Historic as mentioned above.<br><br>Not a huge fan of the dice system either, fun for certain things but forum RP's I've never seen the point personally, but will use it if required.<br><br>Ideas for a story I think would depend on a setting, if say we're going for post-apocalyptic something a little different beyond the usual zombie and post war wasteland at least from a setting perspective, like say set in an underwater city or something would be a nice change to a city somewhere, just something a little different. For now that's pretty much all I have on that front.<br><br>Can't wait to see what you guy and gals have.<br><br>And thanks to Caitlin for creating this thread :)

				Hello Caitlin, Ginger and Raziel!<br><br>How very nice to meet you, Ginger and Raziel! I don't really know you yet, but I heard nice things about you from Caitlin. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better, and to write with you all. This will be my first group rp, so I'm quite excited. I really hope we can make something fun and good together.<br><br>As for the O/O's, settings and genres, I share your opinions. Personally, I quite like the idea of a time travel theme. For now, that has my vote. And I'm in for an adventure!<br><br>Of course I'm still very much open for suggestions and ideas!<br><br>Sorry that my post is so short, but still lots of things to prepare for the weekend out with our little one!

				Summarized so far;<br>- We all think the same about the Offs, so no trouble there.<br>- Genres: No western and historical, fantasy is also not a shared favorite.<br>- Settings: TBD<br><br><br>Now that we ruled some of this all out, let's pick a genre that we want to write in. Our genre can also be a combination of genres for that matter, and I think it'd also be a smart thing to pick to pick a setting as well. It'd be fun if you all come up with several ideas of your own, we can make a top 3 or top 5 of our favorite ideas afterward and see what'd work for us. Feel also free to suggest a variation of a mentioned idea, though it's probably best to describe your idea in a single line. The actual story refining and world building will happen in the next step.<br><br>My ideas:<br>Genre: Time travel<br>A temporal incursion changed the future into a dark grim place, we're agents or survivors that are sent back in time to stop these changes from occuring in the first place.<br><br>Genre: Science fiction/ horror<br>The last remnants of humanity live in giant underwater cities because the planet has become to hostile for survival, there they encounter a horrifying creature that tries to kill everybody.<br><br>Genre: Adventure<br>We're part of a large expedition in the Amazone where we find a mysterious Aztec temple, filled with traps and treasure.<br><br>Genre: Contemporary/ post apocalyptic<br>Due to a global disaster mankind is dying, but our group learns of secret bunker with enough resources to last a lifetime, will we be able to make it there? <br><br><br><br>Mm, come to think of it, some of the ideas above are pretty crappy, but that's why this is a brainstorm session! ;D <br>I'll try to come up with other ideas this week, probably after the weekend. Meantime, feel free to add your own ideas. If you have other suggestions for organizing this RP then I'm all ears too. :-)

				Hello again, Caitlin, AngelicFaith and Raziel.<br><br>Just wanted to stop and drop off a few ideas. <br><br>RP group plot ideas:<br><br>1. Underwater city RP<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Short introduction:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This is about a large underwater city that is in the future. The world above water has become dangerous, the air is toxic and the people are violent. The law has almost become nonexistent. Many years ago a city underwater was created to escape the world above. The people who live in this city have changed over generations, adapted, transformed, within the bubble that is the underwater city, the residents can walk on two legs just as the people above water. However, when they leave the bubble to swim beneath the surface of the water, they are able to breath with gills on the sides of their necks, that give the appearance of mere tattooed lines until beneath the water, and swim with the webbing between their fingers and toes. Each person also has some type of ability, some can communicate with underwater creatures. The people of the underwater city for the most part are happy and stay within the bubble's protection. There are however those who for one reason or another have chosen to leave the water and not reveal to anyone who they really are. Their children have grown up thinking they were surface dwellers. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Story plot short idea: <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Something happens to endanger the existence of life in the underwater city. A few select people will try and find a way to save this city.&nbsp; <br><br>&nbsp; &nbsp;Character ideas:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Was thinking that some can be living as surface dwellers, only to find out that they are actually from the underwater city by accident. For example.. a woman's fiancee owes a loan shark a lot of money. The loan shark decides that killing the woman would hurt the fiancee since he hasn't paid his debt on time. The loan shark sends his goons to kidnap the young woman and tie her to a post on a dock at low tide. She is frantic as the water rises, she thinks she will die. However, the water finally goes over her head. She holds her breath for as long as she can, finally unable to hold it any longer, she gasps and after choking a couple of times realizes that she isn't dying. The woman is completely unaware that during her struggles she inadvertently called for help and a few minutes later she is face to face with some type of sealife. It rescues her, takes her to the underwater city.... it can go from there.. that's just an example of a character that I had an idea of. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Another character idea could be someone who still lives in the underwater city. This person possibly has never been to the surface and has to go to find help. <br><br><br><br>2. Alien/ Supernatural Collectors<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Story idea: <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Whether we go alien or just some type of supernatural creature is up for thoughts. However, my idea is that one or the other has come to an area of the world and through a take over of some kind, they choose to collect humans. They've built structures or buildings where they house their collections of various types of people. In their minds humans are like novelties or pets to be gathered, collected, bred and/ or sold. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;In this a few select people will decide to try and find a way to stop this take over. <br><br><br><br>3. Time travel stuck with dinosaurs<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Through some sort of experiment a small group of people have been whisked back in time to the age of dinosaurs. They have to not only try and survive, but find a way to get back to their own time. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A twist, they find out that there is an alien race that has made a small colony on Earth at this time period. They are an advanced species and their colony is protected from the dinosaurs. <br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The other twist, not only can the group try and gather resources from the aliens to get back to their own time, they find out that they must do that before the end of the age of dinosaurs. This can be meteor or whatever. <br><br><br><br>4. Bermuda Triangle<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A group of people are on a research team to investigate the Bermuda Triangle. During doing so, they encounter a storm and are accidentally transported to another time or dimension. The group has to survive and find a way back to their own time. <br>(This one was less thought out then the others.)<br><br><br>5. Survivor Land<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; A great hunter studies a group of different individuals. Each individual excels at a skill, be it shooting, trapping, military tactics.. etc. He some how kidnaps these individuals and brings them to.. let's say a huge island, they are set free. Perhaps they are tranquilized and wake up on the island. They don't know why they are there but soon find out some how that they are their for a game of survival. The hunter wants to hunt them down. They have to survive on their own or as a team to escape.. or in turn hunt the hunter. <br><br>6. Center of Earth<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;There is a massive meteor about to hit Earth. The closer it gets scientists see that it will cause unbearable temperature rises, which would kill a majority of the planets lifeforms. The only way to survive is to go underground. A group is chosen to go into the Earth to find a way to survive this distruction of a planet. <br><br>7. Collectors<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Okay this one is based on the show Warehouse 13. A group of people have the soul mission to safely gather and collect all objects that are either dangerous or unusual.<br><br><br>8. Find the Key<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Something has gone wrong in the present world. It is violent, toxic and almost unlivable. A group of people through some type of research have found that going back in time and finding a "key" they can undo the damage that has been done and save the present day planet. They have to bounce around times of the past in search of this key and do not know what exactly the key is.. or who it is. All they have to go on is some dates, places, times and clues to find that lead to the key's whereabouts. <br><br><br>9. Soulmates<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Story idea:<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;At the age of puberty, every person is implanted with a timer. This timer is then activated to reveal when a person will meet their soulmate. Some timers say 5 minutes, some say 1000 days. No one knows what their timer will say until it is activated. Twenty-four hours before a person meets their soulmate though the timer stops. All they know is they will find that one person that was born for them in twenty-four hours. If a person gets a timer that is blank, it means that either their soulmate doesn't have a timer, either hasn't received one yet..or has removed it. <br><br><br>Hope everyone is having a great day. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

				AF and I were talking about our story in the car, and we came up with another cool concept;<br>You might both be familiar with the tv shows Doctor Who and Sliders. In Doctor Who the main character time travels by means of a telephone boot (the tardis) and with Sliders they use a remote control to travel to alternative dimensions, while trying to find their way home.<br><br>What we came up with was; what if we'd combine the two and that we travel through time and alternative dimensions while trying to find our way home. The idea we had was that I could be inventing some kind of crazy device and that Raziel, being my loyal buddy, ends up doing the experiment with me when something horribly goes wrong. :P<br>In the first dimension we'd either meet GS or AF and they end up joining us after that.<br><br>The big advantage of this is that we'll have many sub plots with overarching story. We could have 1 person pick a plot for a next adventure and then we'd all join in on that. In fact, we could probably visit all the afore mentioned ideas as alternative realitities and in different time lines! ;D<br><br>Please let us know what you think of it, if you don't like it for some reason or other, then we can figure something else out. ^_^<br><br>(Oh and Raziel, when I said 'invention' I immediately had to think of one of Firix' devices. -snickers-)

				Alright, so my character will invent some kind of device and Raziel and I already know each other from Earth Prime. I like the idea of a remote control that they had in Sliders, as opposed to a giant Tardis from Doctor Who, but I'm also open to suggestions. Should we go with something that opens a portal through which we jump, or should we go for a transportation device that carries us from reality to reality? It doesn't necessarily have to be a telephone booth either, it could be a car, capsule, or even a train (Hi Marty!). <br>Things to consider are ways to fuel or transportation means, we can't expect to find a fresh pack of batteries in every realm we visit, nor will we likely find fuel for whatever will transport us. <br><br>I'd like you all to give this some serious thought, since it's going to be one of the key elements in the story. Likewise, I'll do the same. :-)<br><br><br>I also want to introduce another idea I had; since our story can be anything we want it to be, I'd like to give every one of us the chance to create a unique world that we visit. For example, since Raziel and I start at Earth Prime the ladies could have their shot first with coming up a world to which we travel. We already had several ideas above and you could select one of those ideas, but you can also create something enterily new all together. After we visit Earth Two we'll each take a turn with coming up in the OOC thread with a new world that we'll visit next. This will require some planning ahead while we're living through an adventure in our current world, but I think we can make that work. I trust you all enough to keep things realistic (so no fearies or anything), but this doesn't mean that we can't visit a dark world where vampires and werewolves rule over the humanoid population, or a world where steampunk is a reality. It really can be anything we'd like it to be. ^_^<br><br>How do you all feel about that idea? Is it feasible or do you rather have that we plan ahead as a group? <br><br>I'm looking forward to your own ideas on this matter. ^_^

				I like the idea of each of us creating a world of our own. <br><br>Also, I think my vote would go for the remote like in Sliders that opens the vortex to be jumped into. My reason is because say we use a car for example and we journey to a alternate world like one of the ones on Sliders that is covered in water. Unless the car can fly or float we might end up at the bottom of the ocean, then we'd not only have to find a way to reach the surface ourselves.. but spend several more hours figuring out how to retrieve our ride. That's just my opinion and wanted to add my two cents. :) I'd be happy to go along with which ever one is chosen by the majority, though.

				Thank you for the vote GS! :)<br><br>I have to say you make a pretty good argument as well. Another advantage of a remote control is that -although we probably want to bring some spare batteries along- the battery power of a normal remote control last for ages. I blieve that inn Sliders there is a mechanism that makes the remote control recharge itself, which takes a random amount of time each time, so sometimes it creates the portal faster than other times. If you miss the portal, however, it takes decades before you can try again.<br><br>If we go with a remote control than we can use a similar feature where we can't tell before hand how long it takes for the remote control to recharge. OOC we can simply decide to stay in a certain world until we want something fresh our concluded our small adventure there.<br><br>Another idea I have -also based on Sliders- is a certain Nemisis. In Sliders there is this race that's different from humans and who possesses the same slider technology. They take over more and more alternative realities, and they harvest/ eat human body parts. We could add a similar nemisis to our story down the line so that we have an additional reason to travel and need to find a way to put a stop to these people.<br><br>How do you all feel about that?

				Are you talking about the Kromaggs, Caitlin?&nbsp; &nbsp;Just want to make sure I'm following you. <br><br>I like the remote idea and it's source of power like you're referring to. Also the nemesis idea is a good one as well. I'm game for both. <br><br>Oh and you're very welcome. hehe

				I think they were called the Kromaggs yeah! It's been so long since I saw that tv show that not all the details are clear in my mind anymore. I found the concept quite fascinating though and I think I saw almost every episode at least once. ;D<br><br>Our game, however, will probably be even more interesting since we're also adding the time travel element, and we're not bound to the hotel, but can jump to any place anywhere. (In the early seasons they always spawned near the hotel which acted as a sort of anchor.)

				Well, I gave it a lot of thought, but I haven't really had any time yet to write things down. I was mostly focussing on setting up the world first, and worry about my character later. We're getting a pretty good idea now of what we want though, so I'll see if I can write up my character this weekend. :)<br><br>I have some good ideas about my character already though, it should allow me for plenty of character development/ evolvement. I'm starting with a considerably 'weak' character with plenty of flaws -both physically as well as mentally-. It should make for a fun game. In general I hope that fun/ comedy will become an important factor of the game, rather than having it just heavy action orientated. ^_^

				Short update from our front; life is terribly busy at the moment and I haven't been able to even start my biography yet. I hope to get started this week on that, but if I'm realistic then next week is more likely.<br><br>In the meantime we could get some ideas rolling about the first world we'll visit though. Most likely this world looks a lot like Prime Earth, but it could also be something very different. We could also do something like that we pick up AF or GS in the second world and then the last one in a third world. I'm open to suggestions and ideas. :-)
