Aberrant (this is not a comic book game)

Was following the PDF but it stopped downloading during Phase 2 of CC.  Can't get the xps. file to work, probably don't have the right program to read it.  I'm super familiar with Exalted so things were clicking right along.  Going to contemplate a character then I'll contact you for some of the details I'm missing, Katataban.

As for her focus she is physically and mentally perfect. Sort of a cross between Monet St. Croix and

I was rather fond of Monet.  Sad that the writers treated her as a mere plot device rather than a character.

Anyway, your character will get along beautifully with mine, who is a super-athlete with a... mild competitive streak.  :) .

[MaiMizzu]

If I can get a grip on the system, I might be okay. I dunno. I've been looking for the character creation thing, and there seems to be a few of them. But like I said, i'm not familiar with the system or the origin source. I was focused on it being 'yeah it's kinda like mutants gettting powers'. Could someone maybe contact me on YIM or AIM and help me out? If I can, I'd like to play. I think I could do good.

Thanks for the working link there, and yes, with the similarity to Exalted, cool.. I am familiar with that.  I will PM you by Monday with a character idea, etc.

[Ironwolf85]

this has piqued my interist *BUMB*

[Tamhansen]

Ok I will start the one on one threads tommorow for the characters that are finished, And will keep working with those whose characters are still forming. I expect the actual plot to start a week from now, but maybe sooner if a few one on one's are done quickly. Please bare with me thoughas the group is becoming reasonably big, so i might not do more than a couple tags per person per day, but I'll try to keep as active as possible

Okay when I set this up, I never expected more than a few responses, but boy was I wrong.

Okay going back over the thread and my PM list I found the following people either handing in characters/character ideas, or expressing a strong interest 9 in total so far, and I'd love it for all of you to join, and if a few people help out here and there we can make this work.

If you're name is missing from this list, my appologies, if you are still interested PM me, and I'll try to accomodate.
the ones on the list will receive a PM from me today about whether their interest remains, for those needing help with Character building feel free to PM me, or add me to YIM. just use my username, it's set up on YIM speciffically for E!

Any way thank you all for your interest and patience, I will do my utmost to make it worth it.

P.S. I'm currently on the fence about which category to put this. Either NonCon exotic, or Extreme. I want to give people as much freedom as possible but also don't want people to be too uncomfortable so I'm going for NonCon Exo unless people really want to go for extreme.

[TheVillain]

I probably won't take advantage of the NC Exo rating but I'm cool with it if everyone else is.

[Tamhansen]

basically, neither will I unless upon character request. But like I said I try to balance freedom with comfortability.

[AribethAmkiir]

I'm comfortable with NC Exotic.  It's nice to have those options if some crazy idea or story goes in that direction.  Happy to see it isn't going into the Extreme section though.

[Tamhansen]

Like I said, Personally I'm not much of a NonCon person, but this game is about angst and fear and alienation, and all kinds of other drama. I have noticed that some people can use rape as a great dramatic storytelling tool, for both the rapist and or the victim. The kinks which are most common in the extreme rooms, do not add drama in my eyes. the games I personally might put into the extreme rooms would be Vampire and werewolf, but not for the sex, but the extreme gory violence

[yaracyrrah]

I'm happy to join the consensus for NC-Exo.

[MaiMizzu]

I'll play in whatever one you guys want. I don't have a preference really. And I'm workin on my character now.

[TheVillain]

Sounds like we're going for 'no characters get raped [without the player's permission]'. I can work with that.

[MaiMizzu]

Well yeah, that I could get behind. heh

[stargirl]

I agree with that too. I agree with anything, usually.

As for the "No Rape Unless the Player says it is Ok" line, I can say that it is Ok for my character, if it is good for the story.

But NonCon isn't just for Rape. Mega-Charisma is a kind of Non-Con, right? As is Mega-Manipulation.

[TheVillain]

I was including that but thank you for spelling that out.

[Tamhansen]

Sounds like we're going for 'no characters get raped [without the player's permission]'. I can work with that.

Actually we're going for the no nothing without the players permission. Including, but not limited to the following:  Sex, consensual or otherwise, killing off player characters (npc's DPC's and PNPC's excepted), drug usage or anything else the player could be severely disturbed. Respect each other. Once a player agrees everything goes, well within the limits of the non-con exotic boards.

I hope everyone is fine with that. I'll be writing an OoC post in a bit, including my ten commandments. All but three of these rules are debatable or negotiable, or can be excepted upon. Please read them through and any questions can be placed there or pmed if you prefer

[AribethAmkiir]

what are DPCs and PNPCs?  Also, isn't it the site's rules that "no nothing without the player's permission" even if the game is in NC?

[stargirl]

Yeah, I think you are right, that is the site rule. Just good to make sure everybody remember that, isn't it?

I have no idea what is DPC. I think PNPC stands for Player Non-Player Character. That is an NPC that is actually run by a player but isn't his character. Maybe like when you are helping the Storyteller?

[Tamhansen]

Yes, it is a site rule but I still wanted to make it clear once again. Non consensual means without the character's consent, not without the players.

*Slaps himself* All day at work I'm teaching people not to use Jargon, only to do it here myself.

PC = Player character. Fully under control of the player, created by them with or without supervision, but as their intelectual property (IP)
NPC = Non player Character, created by gaming staff to help the game along. Can be played by anyone, but is created by staff
PNPC = Player created Non player Character, technically an NPC but fully created by a player, performs tasks for the staff but is fully IP of the player
DPC = Directed Player Character, Bascally a player character in all respect, but fed information by the staff to help direct the story, DPC have less freedom to act in exchange fir inside knowledge, IP lays with the player

[stargirl]

So, you mean that a PNPC and a DPC that is under the control of a player can be done without asking by his own owner. So, if you create an NPC to act NC with then you can act NC with her (or him), right? That makes sense, but my explanation may be even more confusing than yours. :)

[Tamhansen]

First off, sorry if all my rules make people cringe. I tend to be fairly fast and loose, but this is going to be a pretty big group, so I want everyone to be clear and on the same page. Like I said every rule except the three red ones are open for discussion, but we need to be sure we're all on the same page as far as respecting each other and our intelectual property. [ /pedantic rant]

I'm quite certain everyone here has respect for each other as role players, so i guess that'll be ok.

I would like to request to ask any questions about rules, background info and such in the OOC threead, and leave this one for recruitment purposes. that way people will not have to follow all the threads in fear of missing something. I've put the answer to Stargirls question there.

[Salvation]

Sounds like we're going for 'no characters get raped [without the player's permission]'. I can work with that.

I can work with that.  Generally, all things are about player consent as I see it anyway, and respecting that.  I'll be getting my character idea/template to you tonight hopefully in a PM.

[AllieCat]

If there's room at some point, I want in! I loved the books (poor Slider :() and always wanted to play!
