Hope I'm not too late to jump on the bandwagon here, but I'd be up for a little AvP roleplay also.

Not at all ^_^

Hey... do you know how to start this thing?

I don't know if you're asking me personally or someone else... but I'm not too sure. I wouldn't want to give any suggestions without the OP's say-so as it was their idea :P

But, I'd also like to ask whether there's a roleplay section on this forum? I haven't seen anything but I guess it'd be safer to ask.

There is no such RP section.

So, given that right now everyone seems to be circling around actually starting an RP site up, let's start throwing around ideas for a backstory.

Here's a rough idea to get everyone started.

An expedition from Earth has been sent to check out a new planet that shows signs of habitability, consisting of Weyland-Yutani scientific vessels, civilian volunteer carriers, and a colonial marine ship. The planet was designated PL-129. The expedition's ships take up geostationary orbit around the planet once they arrive and start ferrying personnel to the surface.

The expedition's initial findings are promising - the planet is perfectly suited to human habitation, and the only local life-forms appear to be harmless. The colonisation effort begins.

Five years pass.

A predator mothership arrives in-system, and is observing the humans. It spots the Colonial Marine escort to the expedition and sees an opportunity for good hunting.

The predators land on PL-129 and begin their hunt. The predator hunting party pursue one squad of marines into a research lab at the base of a mountain.

There is a battle in the caverns beneath the lab, where the marines try to hide, and the predators wipe out the marines. They leave to hunt elsewhere. After three days, a recovery team is sent to assess the damage to the laboratory. When they enter the caves, they discover a chamber that was breached by an explosion during the battle.

The chamber contained a clutch of Xenomorph eggs, the recovery team, not aware of what Xenomorphs are, are impregnated as they investigate the chamber. The aliens establish a hive in the research laboratory.

Soon fighting is taking place all across the island the human expedition had landed on, xenomorphs hunting for hosts, predators for trophies, and the humans desperately defending themselves from both species.

lol sorry ive been away from the topic. i didn't think any1 would be intrested in this, but yea i like the story.

Rules:
1. let everyone get a chance to post
2. If people want to join the RP, please create a character that can fit into the story, don't just jump in in the middle of the story
3. you can create 2 characters at max.

Let's Create Characters shall we?


Name: Sexton, Nicholas

Age: 26

Race: Caucasian

Affiliation: Colonial Marines

Rank/Position: Cpl./ SmartGunner

I think that the Aliens should go first, while the Humans/Predators go at the same time.

You want to do a single thread roleplay?

Usually people actually make sites for it:

http://avpbeginning.proboards.com/index.cgi

There's another, but I forget the name.

On the websites?

You have to check out the rules and how previous members have done it.

But if we do an AvP roleplay here, we can do it pretty much how we like.

I personally prefer the format of a collective story, where members join in and take turns adding to the tale while their characters are involved, but often in the spirit of fairplay and to prevent 'godmoding', there are rules on how you post and what you include in them.

I say as long as your post makes sense and the characters involved don't do crazy things for no reason, I don't have a problem with using other peoples' characters in your posts.

It all just requires a degree of trust and common sense, IMO.

I've done enough RP sites to know how they work and what different ways of doing them exist.

Anyone wants to discuss with me in depth, PM me.

Having multiple characters may be a little confusing imo, but it's up to you frosty. So I made my character a colonial marine since it's prettymuch the only race I think I could play competently (I'm quite new at rp'ing in general). I went ahead and wrote a description of the character based on Kriszilla's backstory. Let me know if it's any good.


Name: Yuma, Charlie

Age: 21

Race: Caucasian

Affiliation: Colonial Marines

Rank/Position: Private/Field Medic

Description:
Charlie had dreamt all his life of the Colonial Marines, he wanted to help pave the way for human expansion into the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Finally, after years of intense training he was stationed on the planet PL-129. He is young and inexperienced, but makes up for it in bravery. He is desperate to prove himself though, and this sometimes makes him act reckless. While not a very strong man physically, he is also trained in medicine and is a licensed combat-surgeon.

I think it's going to be very hard to do a game like this without some sort of Gm'ing

I think this would work better as a seperate site.

I can set one up pretty easily, I just want to make sure there's going to be some people who're up for it before I start wasting my time.

I don't mind being a kind of GM either, although usually we just have a judge who wasn't involved making sure the RP stays sensible, i.e: No breaking laws of physics/canon.

Obviously if we're going to do this we'd need to reach a consensus on what should be accepted as site canon, but that can wait until I know how many people will sign up.
