The SCL Starcraft RPG - Recruitment thread

[NamesAreUseless]

Hello SCL,

I'm new here on SCL, but I've been lurking this community for a long while now. In my opinion however, this forum has been missing something: a forum RPG. Well I think it's time to set one up to help pass the time until Starcraft 2 arrives.

I've had a hard time deciding where I should post this, and I feel the Lore forum is the most appropriate area to post it. If not, then can a moderator or administrator please move this.

THE SCL STARCRAFT RPG FAQ

What is an RPG? RPG stands for "Role Playing Game." Now when I mean RPG, I don't mean the kind like RPG video games, but more like Dungeons & Dragons, only this roleplaying is done on a forum in posts and in the Starcraft universe.

How will this work? Before any roleplaying can start, we need interested players. For those who are interested in roleplaying their favorite characters in the Starcraft universe, such as Raynor, Kerrigan, Zeratul, etc., or wish to create their own original character in the Starcraft universe, then you should post your interest in this thread. Without a decent number of people, it really won't be much fun.

When will the RPG be set? The RPG setting will be set a few months after the events of Brood War. These few months after include Deception, Mercenaries II, and Resurrection IV missions as having already occurred.

How can I join? For now, simply post your interest in this thread. I will then invite you to join the SCL SC RPG. Once in, create a character application in the Content thread. Also remember to link to your application in the Character Applications thread.

If you're choosing of playing an already-created Starcraft character (like Raynor), then their background should follow what they've done in the Starcraft games/novels following the events of Brood War. Also, there will be no specific plot to this RPG: it'll be up to the players to choose what they want their characters to do.

For now, I'll only allow players to choose one major character (list below, usually those in high-rank with their respective faction) and one minor character (pretty much any named character in the Starcraft fiction that isn't a major character). Original characters count could count as either, depending on how much power that character may hold. Characters who have died before or during the events of Brood War are off-limits. Either a GM (Game Master, being me) or a sub-GM (substitute GM) will need to accept your application before you're allowed to roleplay as that character.

Major Characters: Jim Raynor, Arcturus Mengsk, Valerian Mengsk, Alexei Stukov, Samir Duran, Kerrigan, Zeratul, Artanis, Ulrezaj (possibly others)

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering: I plan on following the same rules of taking on 1 major and 1 minor character. I do think that the roles of the major characters should be filled foremost, as that'll help create to create initial conflicts and events for this RPG.

[Sarov]

Obviously, I'm interested in joining the RP.

As for the character that I will start off as, I will probably be playing Zeratul as my major character.

[Kimera757]

I'm interested too. To bad I can't be zerg I'd pick a new character.

Why can't you be Zerg? You could be Kerrigan, a cerebrate (they might not all be necessarily dead right after the events of Brood War), or even some Infested Commander of sorts.

[DemolitionSquid]

I'm willing to make guest appearances as someone evil.

So are you interested in an actual character or not?

It would be good if everyone would mention a major/minor/made-up charatcre that they're interested in playing. For this RPG to succeed, I think we DEFINITELY need the major characters like Raynor, Kerrigan, Arcturus or Valerian Mengsk, and Zeratul for this RPG to work.

So all you know, I'm interested in Alexei Stukov, but am willing to play as Kerrigan if no one else does (but I really want Alexei )

Definitely true.

And someone better play Stukov.

[DemolitionSquid]

I was thinking Mengsk or Duran. You all know I'm the right guy for the job of douchebag.

Yes. That is very true.

[Alzarath]

ahem, *looks at own name*

If possible, I'd like to fill 2 roles. The first, obvious, and a second custom character.

EDIT: Besides, who else would fill Artanis? Doesn't everyone in the SCL community hate him? (For reasons I'm unaware of)
