Hi, everyone! MJ here, bringing in two new pups!

This is Sylar. He's a slicehappy, power-hungry character from Heroes who would love to torment/kill/harass your characters! I'm bringing him in from halfway through the current season, so he's pretty much post the whole irritating villains arc and back on the killing spree track again. With questions. He's very curious about his family now that the Petrelli's have screwed around with him.

I'm fairly certain that we all know where he stands as far as interactions with people are concerned. He's going to be looking for those who have abilities, as he likes to steal them, and now that he's met his future self/child he's definitely going to want to find a way to meet them for some fun. Aside from that, everything is pretty much up in the air at this point. He'll play around and interact for a bit before I start developing any crazy plots from this one.

Additionally, I've brought in my personal favorite to play (and if you guys know me, you'll know just who it is before I even say anything): Sam Winchester from Supernatural. He's being dragged in literally right after the last episode that they've aired (Sex and Violence), in which it was revealed that Sam's turned into a person that even his own brother is incapable of recognizing anymore.

Sam is, in short, one of the two Winchester brothers, who often spend their time hunting the things that go bump in the night. He was always known as the more lighter/innocent of the two, but as of this season, he's become someone who spends his time doing things that even literal angels from heaven question. In his spare time he plays with rock salt, sneaks out with his demon pal Ruby so that he can enhance his own demonic abilities, and chooses to angst over his brother having spent his time in hell over his own death. That said, he's very open for plot and will be very, very confused and cranky when I post him. Which should be shortly.

If anyone wants to plot with me or anything fun like that, I can be found lurking about on finalrebellion on AIM or you can send a message my way at finalrebellion@aol.com VIA email. I look forward to RPing with everyone! :D

I'm Back!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Ok everyone, I know I've been pretty non-existant over the past couple of weeks or so, but I'm back now! YAY!!!!!

I dropped the class that was taking up every second of my free time because i much prefer to have a life than have it sucked into a class that i don't even need to graduate. Hopefully, i'll be on even more frequently than i was before this damn class took over.

I'm gonna drop Max because i'm limiting my RPing because i don't want to have to completely dissappear again. I don't want to drop any of the games i'm in, so i'm limiting to one character a game, and i have max in another game, so... Warren it is!

Let me know if you want to plot with warren!

Just a heads-up, guys -- I'm going on vacation tomorrow for two weeks! (I'll be Stateside, so hey, if anyone's in NYC, Columbia or FTL, hit me up.)

Not going on real hiatus since I'll be taking my laptop and will probably get online every so often, but almost definitely won't be on AIM at all. It'll be pretty much e-mail-only and the occasional flist check. I probably won't start any threads (unless it's to make an appearance in a plot thing), so if you do want me to tag something, let me know by comment or e-mail! [djcati at gmail dot com] And keep in mind it'll go even more slowly than usual.

This affects Ben Skywalker and Peter Parker.

(Will probably get bored and write apps for a million other characters during flights/train journeys. I'll try not to app them all when I get back...)

Hello everyone, Zehava here. As things are going a bit slowly, I thought it best to advance to the next stage of the gamewide. Hopefully, everyone is familiar with how things work, but if not, PLEASE contact me or Amber, and we will do our best to clear up any misunderstandings and explain things clearly. I'm not perfect, so it's possible I may have missed something, or explained something poorly.

Secondly, please post! New Hope has a great deal of potential, and if you are having troubles thinking up storylines, I would be more than happy to brainstorm with you and come up with good ideas, as well as come up with inclusive SLs for everyone. The contact list, for now, is accurate, so please feel free to IM fellow players and come up with new and exciting storylines for your characters. Don't be shy!

Now, as to the current story, the airlock door will be blasted open on Saturday. From there, people are given free range to do as they like inside the industrial zone and inside the residential building. There are several buildings that need to be found at present. Those buildsing are the warehouse that will have equipment capable of producing ration bars, a factory with the raw materials to produce a new airlock, a building with the equipment to install the new airlock, and back-up systems to begin a massive purge of the atmosphere of the sealed-off Industrial Zone and repressurization with uncontaminated air.

Remember that there are hostile malcontents coming inside, and you will all be in NBC suits to prevent infection and contamination, and for the most part, unarmed, so please keep that in mind in your ambushes and roleplay. Other than that, please have fun!

Hello everyone!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Just taking a moment to say "Hello!"

So, I'm Shannon and I'll be offering the illustrious Rose Tyler taken from the climax of Doctor Who Series1 (Just seen the Doc burst into a wonderful shroud of golden light and blammo, here she is.)

Little about me, I write for fun, live in the EST time zone, work from 7-445 during the week and try to be friendly in general.

So, should you want to plot, thread, or just be friendly you can reach me at Shannon.l.lewis@gmail.com; or on AIM at optymistyk.

So, I know I fail majorly. I've been looking forward to coming off of hiatus for ages . . . and then completely missed it. I have a legitimate excuse, though! Since Monday night of last week, I have been iced in; that winter storm that hit everywhere through the midwest? Yeah, it sucked. I have been stuck without power, cable, internet, all of it since Tuesday. As it stands, we finally have power back at the house, but we are still without cable or internet, so I'm only able to be online while I'm at school and the computer lab is open. I'll try and update whenever I have internet back, but we don't know when that will be.

I miss everyone :(

You guys have a very lovely game and a great concept, but I'm having trouble staying active in a lot of my games. I'm sorry, but I have to bow out. Thank you for letting me play.

You have a great rp but I just can't seem to get into it (my problem) so I'm quitting. Thanks for approving my characters and the best of luck with it.

First Gamewide Plot

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Hi, everyone, it's Zehava. I know that over the last two weeks we've discussed the very first gamewide plot in AIM chat, but I am aware that there are people who were unable to make it to said chat. As such, I will be posting the outline for the gamewide plot today, which will give everyone until Wednesday at midnight GMT to make plans and decisions on where and how to play their characters. At present, the gamewide is set to run for a month, although if may be lengthened if it is not completely resolved in that time.

To run down the particulars:

Darth Caedus will use the Force to bring infected survivors to the airlock inside of New Hope's Industrial Zone. This will be part of a Sithly plot gone awry. These infected survivors are basically people resistant to the virus that destroyed the outside world, and will be hostile NPCs. They will successfully breach the outer door of the airlock first. At this point, evacuation orders will be issued to all players to return to their quarters. The Residential Building will lock down, preventing exit of anyone inside. The building will be put on emergency lighting and its self-contained air filtration system will become active, as will its interior ration bar dispenser.

The players will be presented with a choice. They can either go to the Residential Hall and wait, or they can go to the Industrial Zone to fight off the intruders. Before the second, and final, set of doors to the airlock are blown off, they will encounter Darth Caedus, who will direct them to the NBC suit lockers. These suits will be a requirement for anyone who decides to fight off the invaders, so keep in mind the potential drawbacks your characters may suffer inside the suits, as well as the reduced maneuverability and vulnerability.

Once the second set of doors on the airlock are breached, the Industrial Zone will be sealed off from the rest of the city, thereby creating two spheres of action. One will be the tension back at the Res Building as people are incommunicado, and the other will be the tension in the conflict zone. Please realize that once you decide where to put your characters, they are there for the duration.

Now then, those inside the Industrial Zone have four priorities, which are as follow:

1) eject the infected outsiders from the Industrial Zone
2) attempt to manufacture a replacement airlock
3) after cleaning out all those who will be shooting at our players, install new air lock
4) activate filtration systems in the Industrial Zone to clean out the air and let everyone back into the rest of the city

How the characters proceed to accomplish these objectives are up to them. During the course of this plot, several buildings will be put at the disposal of the players in the Industrial Zone. These will be a warehouse that will have equipment capable of producing ration bars (to avoid starving our brave defenders to death), a factory with the raw materials to produce a new airlock, a building with the equipment to install the new airlock, and back-up systems to begin a massive purge of the atmosphere of the sealed-off Industrial Zone and repressurization with uncontaminated air. Again, however, these things will not be immediately available to the characters, and will have to be located in between fighting off hostile attacks from infected invaders.

Out of consideration for the characters involved in battle, the warehouse will be air-tight, thereby allowing them a place to take off the suits for a bite to eat and a breather, though not much of one as the warehouse will not have a filtration system. The invaders will be armed with AK-47s, Molotov cocktails, and whatever other weapons they've salvaged. If there are any questions, or if you are uncertain about any detail, please ask! That's what mods are here for. Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday!

Killable characters

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Hey everyone, Zehava here. As most of you are aware, a few weeks ago we discussed the idea of having characters specifically meant to die at a later date. The idea received some positive reception, as it neatly sidesteps the mass murder of NPCs and the parting of dearly cherished characters. I've decided to set up this specific entry to come up with a list of suggestions of characters players can RP for the sole purpose of later setting them up to be murdered, impaled, burned, or just plain fall down the stairs to death. This list of suggestions will hopefully be enlarged upon with ideas of characters people would most like to see dead.

Jar Jar Binks (I will give a GOLD STAR to ANYONE who plays him JUST to kill him. TEN gold stars!)
and more beneath the cut )

"My time is very n00b."

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Hi there! I'm Aleph, the newest (or so) member to this community, taking my first foray into both journal- and panfandom-based RP with all you lucky folks. For at least this first while, I'm attempting to play everyone's favourite cake-pushing AI, GLaDOS... with the character shift/change/whatev that she's been put into an android body post-Portal. Because it seemed like a good idea and, really, the only way to get the character to interact with people. Said android (or gynoid, if one wants to be technical) will be represented by the singularly awesome Tilda Swinton for the duration of play.

Feel free to drop me a line at my email (alephcraven@rocketmail.com) or at my AIM at, also, alephcraven. I'm creative. Just not with names.

new character

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Hey, guys! Cati here (Ben Skywalker-mun), just wanted to belatedly let you all know that I've brought in our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.

This is 616!Spidey, i.e., from main comics continuity. For those familiar with Marvel, he's from right after House of M and still a little wangsty about that, but hey, it's Peter Parker -- he's always wangsty about something.

He has no plans to reveal his secret identity any time soon -- he'll occasionally be patrolling the streets as Spider-Man, but will probably spend more time as regular old Peter Parker at the moment since there's not a whole lot of crime going on. (OR IS THERE?)

Of course, some of your characters are probably familiar with Spider-Man from their own worlds, and that's cool, but I'd appreciate it if no one told Peter just yet. (Unless they're from post-Civil War Marvel, in which case, bring it on.) I'd also like it if it wasn't widely known among characters -- I just think it could lead to interesting plot further down the line -- but obviously, if it's IC for people to discuss it, go ahead! Just try not to let Peter see. :)

Hello my name is Nick and I playing J'onn J'onzz from the DC comics. I am also friends with Tammy who is playing Alex Russo and Kristin (who introduced me to this) who is playing Max Guevara, Parker, and Warren Peace). J'onn's name can be pronounced John Jones if need be. He is also known as the Martian Manhunter and is from Mars. His race is all but destroyed (at least it has been in the Justice League form of J'onn which I am taking him from.)

I also live on a Christmas tree farm in the middle of nowhere. You can contact me via IM at rusky17fc or by email at salohcin714@gmail.com. I am also a big sci-fi fan and like rock music...and I play the guitar. And just so you guys know I am not the world's greatest speller and I will be writing all posts in word.

The reason for picking Christopher Judge (predominantly as Teal'c) as the PB for J'onn is one, I needed a real person, and two, the way they interact with others is very similar. not much emotion is shown and both are fairly wise when it comes down to it. (and really I could have used anyone since J'on is a shapeshifter).

Hello, everyone. I'm Lyn - I'm new to the game, and I bring with me Peter Petrelli from Heroes. He is being brought in after the mid-season Finale, episode 3x13 "Dual". His powers have been returned, but he has to start over; as in, he has his empathic mimicry, but all of his acquired powers have been wiped clean. If anyone wants to plot, I am open to plotting or just talking. You can find me pretty easily through without.a.script@gmail.com, or on AIM at a lil glass vial.

Um, that's about it. I look forward to playing. :)

Hey everyone. I'm Tammy and I bring to you Alex Russo from Wizards of Waverly Place. She's 16, she's a wizard, and somehow she always manages to screw up her magic a little bit. Probably usually because she tries to use magic to fix everything in her life instead of thinking of non-magic ways to do it. Other than that she's pretty close to your stereotypical teenage girl. (Well...besides her love for sarcasm and the lack of love for some extra girly things...like the colour pink.)

You can reach me on AIM at FyreGemini or e-mail at geminiswede@gmail.com. So let me know if you want to plot or not. This is only my 2nd pan-fandom game and I'm not familiar with some of the fandoms, but hopefully this shall be fun reguardless.
