Hey all,

In thinking about the days of the BBS when online roleplaying consisted of thread posts, I thought I might start one up and see if anyone was interested.

If you want to play post a description of your character, background, and build (what sort of class/proffesion you see yourself as). I will post some game stats for your character from this information, though they will be loose as the game will progress more on input and feedback rather than straight game mechanics.

The game will be based in a post WWIII/alternate history setting that I will explain in a moment.

Please only make posts relevant to the game, this is not a thread to debate the PS3, political thoughts, or anything not relevant to the game.

I will start play on Saturday if we have enough players.



GAME SETTING:

Quote: "December 21, 2017- It has been five years since the bombs fell. We should have seen it coming when the Chinese closed their borders the year before, but fools that we were, we thought no one would want a nuclear exchange. Japan found out the hard way that was not so. Within days the world powers chose up sides and the war grew quickly, so quickly that some parts of the world did not even know the war existed before they were effected. Arsenals were emptied, cities and nations obliterated, and the world population reduced to a fraction of what it once was. Electricity is a thing of the past, communication almost impossible, and fuel is all but gone.

I have been stranded along with what remains of my squad for two years just inside what we assume is the old Chinese border. Our group has become a rag-tag bunch of wanderers, made up of survivors from many nations. We no longer answer to generals or countries, we answer only to our need to survive.

Captain James Donald-US Marines."


Your character can be from any country, as they really do not matter much anymore.

Any questions/development ideas post them here.

Hope this ends up being fun

-HL

I would not think this thread is any different from the, add to the story, post game, etc threads that pop up. I am not talking theory, but trying to develop a series of interactive posts to tell a story between the community.

@ Agent Dink

I read his post wrong. My mistake. I apologize.

@ Hobgoblin Lord

Don't we have enough forum games around here? I mean, I understand this isn't "Cool Guy Jordan" making a thread about a forum game here (no offense Jordan) but is this really necessary? If the mods are okay with it, then so am I, but I just want to question your logic here on wanting another forum game* roaming around.

I hope you see where I'm coming from. Otherwise, good luck with this.

* = Word Association, Posting Competition, etc. etc.

I understand where you are coming from icy. I just remember for a long time this was the only way to online RP, usually led to interesting storytelling by the players and the game master, and could be a fun read even for those not playing. If no one ends up interested it dies (hopefully not).

Jackie Turndale

He is a 23 year old male from London. He comes from a family business, although he was adopted from his Uncle Stuart at the age of 6 from St Mary’s Orphanage. The family job was a mafia/gang sort of business. You collect the money and everything’s fine. Although one day he couldn’t collect the money and his Uncle put out a hit on him. So he goes around trying to get back at the scumbag who killed his girlfriend Sofi.

Never ever done one of these and not really know what to do exactly (would somebody please explain?), but I'll try a bit of character development, I'll post back later with my own - I would now but I need to get on with some work.

My character will be a neurotic guy effected by a secret sect who wishes chaos - the character has been kidnapped and altered with some powers with aim to dehumanize people and well this is really a knock off of the Metamorphosis inspired piece of work I have to write for tomorrow morning, but what the hey!

That's if you don't mind of course, I don't want to just intrude into the plotline.

Also, I think this is a good idea, it gets people's creative juices running and the mind working a bit with some thought and put people into a working and inspiring mood, even if it is distracting me at this moment when I should be doing something else!

I love Nancy DrewG, but not insert brain here

oo, interesting, heres my story

James waved good bye to his parents for the last time, and boarded the plane to China. This was a first class flight departing from Califonia, USA. His ticket had been payed for by his scholarship. He was going to study War Generals in Germany. James took his seat in the front of the plane, and fell asleep for the trip. He would awake again for a refueling in Boston Massachessets on the other side of the country.

When James came to, the plane was starting to land. Once the plane was down, James got off, ate some supper, and boarded again for the final part of his trip. The plane took off again. James closed his eyes, and fell asleep to the thoughts of what his future held for him.

Suddenly, Jame's eyes flew open. The TV in the plane had been turned on to a news station.
"Shocking reports of A nuclear bombing have just reached us. Oh my God, it seems as though some one has nuked The western coastline of the United States of America. We are recieving fuzzy reports that Japan has also been bombed, but we cant be sure. "
James Froze, his parents, his home, his friends, his life has just been blown in a nuclear reaction. He had only escaped by a couple of hours. His life hung in the balance.
The flight attendendss were in the asiles now.
James realized everyone around him was crying. The flight Attendeds were announcing what a kisfourtune this was, and that they would proceded directly to germany, and give a free flight back to the US for anythat wanted it. The plane was almost to germany when the captian turned on the intercom.
"Attention passengers, we will not be able to touch down in Germany, all of there air ports have been grounded until further notice due to the bombing. Instead we will try to land in Turkey"
james was horror sticken. The news report continues.
"Oh my God, reports are flying in everyone is being bombed, but we dont know from who. Communication has been lost with China,Turkey, and allmost all of Africa. To any one of you that is in danger, stay were you are, recovery teams are being deplo-. Oh.. We have just recied news that Almost every major military base in the US has been hit. Recovery teams will come, but they wont be there for awhile. Hang in there world."
****
Jame's plane was approaching Turkey, and running low on fuel.
"This is the American plane, 447, requesting a landing from Turkey airport 23. Do we have permission to land?" radioided the caption.
There was no radio answer.
As the plane circled Turkey airspace, James looked out the window, and saw a firery object in the sky rocketing down towards turkey.
The missle touched down to ground, and exploded. Now the whole plane was watching. A mushroom cloud arose in the distance, and blasting boom shook the plane, and a then the shockwave came. The plane was thrown out of the air by the shockwave east. The plane was out of control. James lost track of time as the captian desperatly tried to reasblesh control. And all he heard was screaming for the next hour, and then over the radio,
"This is china airspace. You must leave, or your plane will be shot down."
And with no time to turn around,
"Missels have been laucnhed at your plane. goodbye ."
****
James was in a blur, what was going on????
He lay under a piece of shrapniel from a plane. He looked arou dhim to see a smouldering piece of metal behind him. Dead bodys were all around him. He was soaked in blood. Now he remebered.
His plane had been hit. The missels hit the rear of the plane. The passenger behind him had been VERY fat, and had taken most of the shrapenel. He had some how survided the explosion and the fall. He was the only survivor.
He staggered to his feet, and shouted
"HELLO! IS ANYONE ELSE ALIVE?"
in answer to his cries, The plane beind him gave one last boom, and blew itself into a thousand pieces. He watched as the bodies closer to the explosion we flown towards him. He saw the captians body fly directly at him. It landed four feet in front of him. The captians small fire arm flew out of belt on inpact, and bounced into James shocked hands.
James gulped, and began to walk away into the dust.
****
Before long, he met up with a ground of wanderers, who he joined forces with to stay alive, and because he needed companionship.



James is my character.
If you noticed, he has an amazing amount of luck.
He was studying warfare before the nukelear war, so he is knowledged in how to fight, and how to stay alive.
He had never held a firearm before the captians, but has become exceptional with the handgun, infact he still carries the captians, and only uses those bullets for 'special occasions'. However, he cant use anysort of machine gun and heavy weaponry.
He is only 20.

Father Tree- That is a fine profile, I will flesh it out a little here, feel free to chime in with anything else and we will develop together.

The wanderer's camp has been your home for the last two years, you made your way from Shenyang, where you had gone to avoid the contract on your head, north to the camp through a bitter winter. Before the war began you found out that Ricky the Mechanic, a hitman in the employ of your uncle, was the person who killed Sophie and he had followed you to China. As much as you want to survive, getting revenge on Ricky would be worth your life, but so far you are unsure if he survived the war.

You had used many small arms in your service to the mob, but since coming to the camp Captain Donald has had you trained in the use of rifles and explosives. Most of your days are spent either defending the camp or looking for supplies for the camp. On your first mission your squad was stripping an old aluminium factory of machine parts when a firefight with other survivors broke out. Your comrade Wilks was killed by a bullet that passed through your left thigh, though you survived you still have a mild pain, and a nasty scar, to remind you how quick your time can be here.



To the other that posted, they sound great, I will work on some ideas to get you into the campaign and post them soon.

Captain James Avery, US Marines: Sniper.
Age:28
Skills: Long-range shooting and recon.
Backround(Jame's point of view): I joined the marines at age 20. I was on a patrol when the bombs hit, my helicopter was forced to crash-land when it was hit by an RPG. Later found by my squad, I was swept off to the front-lines. After the first few years, when the government dissolved, we knew there was no safe-haven this time. We were on their own. 5 years after the bombs dropped, our supplies when almost gone, the rest of the squad died or was killed, only I am left. Only a week ago did I join the wanderer's camp..

Brad Kyber, U.S. Citizen and Gun Collector/Enthusiast
Age: 28
Back Story:
Ever since he was 12 years old, he loved to go hunting with his dad. For his 14th birthday, his dad got him a German Luger that had seen action in WWII. Since then, he has been very interested in guns and has been collecting them from time periods between WWI and today, being especially interesting in sub-machine guns made during WWII.

Before the war started, he lived on the outskirts LA. He loved to go to shooting ranges with parts of his collection. His collection comprised of 6 pistols, 11 bolt-action rifles, 23 sub-machine guns, 5 machine guns, and 2 shotguns. But once the war started, he had to leave it all behind, except for his Luger, which he couldn't bear to leave at home.

After the bombs fell he lost his entire family and all of his friends. He tries to survive by himself as his search for others has been fruitless for weeks. He did remember to bring ammo for his Luger, but only as much as he could put in his pocket. He knows the area around where he currently lives (which is a small "cave" made from the concrete underneath a felled highway) and his main job is to find food every other day.


i hope this story fits in well

Character: Walter Leeuw.
Age: 33.
Location: ---.
Birthplace: Netherlands.

Walter was born and raised in the Netherlands and had a rapid carreer in commercial undertakings and quickly started to gain political ambitions.

He practiced a lot in flying, his main hobby. He bought himself several airplanes and even an old military MIG29 to fly around. He participated in several military trainings in India, America and the Netherlands.

As his network and influence grew, he started to expand his companies into international grounds. His fortune grew rapidly and by 2012, at the age of 27, Walter had established a powerful international network of contacts.

In 2013, he was contacted by an unknown person to discuss a profitable undertaking with some... ethical flexibilities. Walter soon after set up a factory for weaponry, selfprotection and chemical and nuclear protection.

Walter was then involved in a plane-accident and disappeared from the public scene. He was reported to be seen in Africa and Asia in 2015 and 2016, and once in America in early 2017. His weapon programme had been a great loss to profits, forcing him to shut down several of his projects, yet he seemed certain to not drop the weapon program itself.

In 2017, when the first nuke dropped, suddenly the weapon business boomed. The entire stock of 3 years of production was rapidly sold in America, Asia and Europe, the three main contesters in the third World War.

Walter disappeared, only to be seen in the north of Africa months later. He has set up a small piece of the old days in a destroyed world - shelter for the victims of the war, a normal city with everything as it used to be: a shopping center, hotels, houses, an airfield... Something is wrong there, though. Military figures have been seen oftenly and the curfew raises questions about the purpose of the city.

As his story begins, Walter is about to take a flight in one of his superiority air fighters towards the destroyed fields of the border between China and Kazachstan.

OK so the party is shaping up as so

Tango Squad:

Tango squad is pretty green, with a few exceptions, Captain Donald decided that newer squads needed to represent the community as a whole and not just military training.

Jackie Turdale: Has been at the wanderer's camp the longest, though he had no previous military experience prior to joining the camp, Captain Donald finds his ability to scrounge items and intimidate others invaluable, thus he was made leader of Tango Squad

James ?: His strategic knowledge of various battles proved useful to Captain Donald in the past. Though James has seen little to no real action the captain thought he would make an excellent addition to the squad.

James Avery: James only arrived at the camp a week ago, but his training was obvious to Captain Donald at once. Highly skilled with MSG 90 sniper rifle, James's ability to end a threat before it become a threat will be invaluable.

Brad Kyber: Brad made his way to the camp about a year ago carrying his trusted Luger, though familiar with older weapons in general, Brad's skill at weapon repair/restoration and the ability to reload used cartridges should help keep the squads weapons in working order and a higher supply of ammo.

Walter Leeuw: Walter is not really from the camp, but from the psuedo town nearby. His offer to join the squad came with the condition that the captain help protect his town and the town help supply the Wanderer's camp. Walter is the smooth talker/negotiator of the group. Versed in English, German, Chinese, and several other languages hopefully he can help calm down tense situations with unknowns.

Unnamed Soldier (Seppuku): Unknown to the others this hulk of a man had been genetically altered prior to the war to increase his strength and speed, radiation however expanded this progress giving him physical prowess far beyond the ordinary. Not very skilled with small arms but well trained in hand to hand combat, Unknown is the muscle of the group. His speed and strength come in handy when firing a shot may make things worse.


a few minor changes to character backgrounds.

Rami we just need to back up your story 5 years so that the war starts in 2012.

Jasonhtml: we need to get you to China so how about Brad was in China meeting with an industrial group who were going to use your original Luger to make replicas when the war broke out?


Good job on development so far all, I am going to work out some game stats for the characters and will post them up when they are ready. Any comments or additional thoughts feel free to bring them up.

Ah, sorry. I just checked the date in the story. BTW, in case you missed, there's something wrong with Walter and his town lays in Africa. He has just taken a fighter jet towards the Chinese border.

He's not really involved in the story yet as far as I'm concerned. He will be though... pretty soon.

Diggsey

A child genius, he knew everything about computers from an early age, and soon learnt to program. By the age of 15 he was skilled in both programming, and engineering, and also very good at fixing things. He was brought up in London, and went to a private school. The school announced that they were organising a trip to china in a year. Because of the cost of the trip, few people were able to afford it, and when the date came, only 12 had raised enough money. When the plane landed in China, everyone was looking out of the windows at all the Chinese buldings and different sights. As the plane came to a stop, everyone started murmouring worriedly to each other: Outside was a troop of Chinese soldiers with machine guns in their hands. As the pilot descended from the plane to find out what was going on, the soldiers suddenly opened fire, and the captain was flung back off the steps, and hit the ground, blood spraying everywhere. Another soldier through a knock-out grenade into the plane, and that was the last thing Diggsey remembered before waking up, covered in blood in a pile of rotting dead bodies somewhere in China. By the time he had learnt how to fend for himself (before he had relied on the help of friendly Chinese peasants) he was 18.

It was in 2011, but now there are barely anyone left to enforce that.
But there is no Chinese government any more so it doesn't matter.

Sorry I have was dead sick all morning, now I am up at an ungodly hour after sleeping all day

Looks like we have 7 players, should be more than enough.



-------------------------------------------------------------------

December 22nd, 2017

Your cot creaks as you roll over to get comfortable. The damp, wet air has permeated your blanket making it heavy and providing little warmth. Outside your tent you can hear Molly the Brewer kicking her still, probably another rat has crawled inside. Every night is like this, you lay down for hours before being able to finally fall asleep only to be woken for duty as soon as you do. The days are blending together, if the Captain were not so meticulous about keeping a record of the date you would have no idea what day it was. Your squad mates are in the same fix, you can hear each of them trying to get to sleep with no better luck than you. The coffing of the camps residents is constant, you hear many that wheeze and breath with great labor. Every day a few more die, some from radiation poisoning, but most from simple colds and infections that get worse. You are one of the lucky ones, you are vital to the survival of this camp so you get critical supplies when needed, still it has been days since you have had a solid meal. It takes another hour lying in this hellhole before you finally drift off wondering if you will wake up again.

Morning comes to soon, you grumble as you pull off your blanket and find your clothes are wet and clinging to your skin. Your breath forms thick clouds that obscure your vision. As you and your mates get ready for the days mission you can smell the burning meat of some rodent that will be breakfast, it is unpleasant but still its food. You trudge through the early hours trying to shake the chill from your bones and standing by a fire to dry up as best you can. Anders, your mission advisor, comes by a few hours later to advise you of the days objective.


-------------------------------------------------------------------
MISSION:
--Hai Pai, small rural farming town, population unknown, 30 clicks SSW.

Objective:
Collect machinery parts, farm tools, medicine, seeds, or other vitals from the area. Use any methods needed to complete this mission.

Hazards:

Small River; no known bridge or crossing, river averages 20 meters in width.

Minimal radioactive activity.

Possible rival raiders in close proximity.


-------------------------------------------------------------------

You will be on foot for this mission, your squad heads over to the requisition building to gather gear. You will be required to carry anything recovered back. The requisitions officer stands behind a small counter, piles of junk litter the room behind him, he looks at you.

I'd go with 1-2 items since whatever you find you have to carry back.

Quote: ""What do you need?""

MSG 90 rifle, a clip, and a rifle sling.

(Edit) Oops forgot to put down the things I already have.
1 full canteen.
Gas mask and pack.
Short-wave radio and headset.
1 med kit.
binoculars
2 red smoke grenades
A pistol.
3 MRE's.

May I remind everyone that I'm still an external factor. I do not need anything, I'm closing in on the Chinese border with my jet fighter.

I'd go with 1-2 items since whatever you find you have to carry back.

MSG 90 rifle, a clip, and a rifle sling."


i'm confused... we need limits on what we can ask for. or i could just say i want a full-body suit with an energy shield that can withstand anything and a gun that auto-aims headshots on the enemy and has infinite ammo

Confused? How hard can this be? Just keep it within the boundaries of realism, jasonhtml.

Alright, I'm assuming I can still play, if not, let me know, no big deal . By the way, I think we need to start typing things outside of the game differently, like in italics or parenthesis, to make it easier to read in character and out of character stuff, I'll start with this.

1 M4A2 Assault Rifle with Scope and Grenade Launcher
4 Frag Grenade's for Launcher
1 Colt Pistol Sidearm
1 M40 Sniper Rifle
3 Frag Grenades
2 Smoke Grenades
2 Flashbang Grenades
1 Ghillie Suit
1 High Tech PDA
6 Extra Clips for M4A2 Rifle
30 Rounds for Sniper Rifle
2 Military-Grade Side-Packs
1 Military-Grade Backpack
1 Combat Knife
20 MRE packs (Meals Ready to Eat)
5 Water Bottles
3 Extra Colt Clips

Who's prepared now?

It was a grey sky as the fighterjet roared over the deserts of Kazachstan. Walter made a few corrections to his course and radioëd back to head quarters over the inbuilt sattelite link.

"Head Quarters, this is Walter. I'm approaching the border at" - a quick look on his dashboard - "15 angels. Descending to 8 angels soon."

A slightly distorted voice crackled from the headset in his helmet. Walter was amazed that voice could be encoded into signals, sent through the air and be decoded so precisely.
"Walter, this is Head Quarters. We've located airfighter signatures on your course. Suggest to abort or change course to three-two-zero."

Walter sighed. Another squadron of mercenaries. Ever since the war started, on the Northern hemisphere, the air had been as unsafe as the ground was. Pirates and hunters ruled the skies as their seafaring counterparts had been doing centuries ago.

"Negative. My equipment will spike them. They'll be gone before they get me on radar. I'll fire a sortie as a warning when they show up on radar. Starting to descend to 8 angels now."

Walters' fighter jet soared through the Kazachstani skies as his craft started to descend to 8000 feet.

Gil and inspire, yes you can still join.

The man begins rummaging through the piles of junk pulling out your gear.

"sorry no portable radar units"

He comes across all of the gear you asked for, he looks at the newcomer who just joined up with a laundry list of requests.

"Son we will issue a sidearm and a rifle, I'm afraid I can't issue two rifles to anyone without a direct request from the captain so your m40 is out."

He stares at the your group waiting for the last few team members to make up their mind.


------------------------------------------------------------------

High above Kazachastan a pigeon collides with the cockpit of a lone fighter, chaos ensues as the plane spirals out of control forcing the pilot to eject before it explodes in a fireball of supersonic shrapnel. the sound of the explosion carries across the wanderers camp as you can see the faint shadow of what may be a parachute descending into the wilderness.

Jeff replies, "Alright, then give me a scope for my M4A2 with 32x zoom, is that possible? I'll also need a short wave radio if ya got one.". He waits for the others to make up their minds about their equipment.

Hobgoblin, believe me, Walter will get integrated. Not just yet. It has no use to drop me above Kazachstan.

Walter stared from the cockpit of his steadily cruising jetfighter, suddenly noticed a billow of smoke to the northeast. He turned on the sattelite uplink.

"HQ, Walter here. Did you get any combat activity nearby?"
"This is HQ. No, not at all. No traces of combat whatsoever. Sir, you're closing in on those pirate fighters."
"Yes, I know. How far are they?"
"Twelve minutes before they show up on your radar, sir, assuming you maintain heading and velocity. They appear to be at least with five of them."
"And the border?"
"Oh" - a short pause fills the cockpit with a soft static. - "three minutes away."
"Good. Thanks, HQ."
"No problem, sir. Be safe."
"I'll make sure. No worries."

Walter shut down the sattelite uplink. Chinese ground stations could easily pick up the powerful signals emitted by the sattelite uplink. He sighed as he stared at the grey, polluted clouds in front of him. He was on his own now.

"Sure son a scope is no problem, I just suggest you avoid using it with the grenade launcher."

He smiles after that, as if anyone would do that.
