...no, volunteers! I meant to say volunteers!

To be exact, I need two volunteers.

I do not wish to give out too much information too soon, but there are some things that need to be shared.

The ongoing story of Arahim and Sylvan will ultimately need two people, an older gentleman and a woman who would, at this point in time, be rp'd at about forty years of age. The female would be portrayed as mentally unsound, bordering on mental retardation. The man is of the trickster/scam artist type.

This is a storyline that could well end up going on over the course of weeks or months, and possibly involve alot of people depending on the level of interest people have in getting involved.

However... (yes, there is always a however!)

In the end, these two 'volunteers' would be given the beloved perma-death status.

This is a good place to mention, the perma-death part would be some of the best rp in the storyline!

If you might be interested, in -any- aspect of this, please contact me.

Thanks!

Edit: It should be noted that, for many reasons including both Sylvan and Arahim's personal and 'professional' ties, there is a good deal of room for adding pieces to the stories as they build. C'mon guys, let's do something com-wide!

This is more or less exactly the sort of thing the Anarchist guild is being produced for. Characters to play thankless roles that get them murdered! I am sure that I can throw in a character for the grinder! I'm in.

Seriously though, sounds fun.
Send me a PM or ICQ if you'd like to touch bases.

Actually need 5 or so victims. And Ceza said she'd play the older woman. Ask me why we need 5 at some point.

Why do we need 5?

Now counts as "some point" right?

The idea of the woman really intrigues me I would gladly play her for you. That sounds like a bit of challenging rp. I always love to make me some killable characters.

This is great folks!
Feel free to contact myself or Arahim.
Apparently he has things in mind that up the requirement for victim-eers.
Let's talk!

Arahim · Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2009 10:23 am Post subject:

Just real quick. Not to dissuade anyone, cos I'm always open to RP with -anyone-. I'm not with the in-crowd enough to know, or care, who's a jerk or who's made who mad, who's a cyber-queen, or a god-moder etc. but the rp Syl is talking about is a tad different from the usual. The months we'd rped Syl and Arahim we've touched on things like child abuse, patricide, vanquish, disassociation, Pavlovian conditioning and other odd topics. It hasn't just been a hearts and flowers journey. Alot of what we intend to tackle hits on these notes, and what it will boil down to is a basically good, but flawed person discovering a horrible event and balancing the scales by doing an equally awful thing. Plus Kaelthir and OES factor in, so it'll only get worse and probably more twisted. I mean this whole thing started with a stream of consciouness piece I wrote and Syl and I both knew we couldn't post it due to the nature of it. So please, hop in! We intend to push on with the RP ramifications of it even way after this event, but for now, its perma-death people we need, and just know that its grimy and adult. No hero rp here, and the way it looks on paper, no winners....but the fun of rp is who knows where it'll go.

"Vanquish!!??" What the duece!? The word is...R@&e.

It's good you pointed these things out, Arahim. The RP leading up to this bit of nastiness is -not- puppy dogs and unicorns by any stretch.

It might be something to consider also, to share the stream of consciousness thing with people to whom it pertains (a sort of need to know basis maybe) so they can get a feel for the ugliness without making it totally public.

Alot of people who read the stories probably do just think this is the generic Lightbringer/Darkling meet and fall in love thing, but that's so far from the truth. There have been alot of 'accidental' things come up in their journey together--even from their initial introduction by a mutual friend.

But Arahim's right, everybody. There is alot of ugliness both past and forthcoming.

Definitely not your typical PG rating.

It's safe to say your plot is more like R-17, right? Nothing PG 13 or 13 about it? I'm just wondering for the younger players (we do still have a few, these boards are 13 and up).

Sounds like a lot of fun and interesting RP. While I don't have any open slots to donate a kill-off character to, I'm game for any participation in the plot with one of my current characters. Let me know if you need a bit part or an extra here or there for background filler or fluff.

In reference to your concern with younger readers on our boards....As I understand it, Ceinwyn, a portion of the RP will still be just that. There will continue to be some that cannot and will not be posted on the boards. The storyline is beautiful, even as it is hateful and ugly. (That's why I've always read and loved Toni Morrison as a writer. The pure challenge of expression, and rich creativity is its own reward. )

Ok everybody it looks like we are going to try to get this show on the road, so to speak.

Arahim and I have few details to hammer out. He apparently has an agenda he's not sharing and I'm -assuming- *cough cough* he'll be in touch with people for his piece of it. In the meantime...

We'll get the basic storylines and directions typed up to share with people.

This is by NO means a scripted RP but it definitely has things people will need to know, especially certain characters.

Within a few days we will be in touch with you wonderful victimeers with details and give ourselves a chance to chatter among ourselves.

I'm so excited! Yay!
