Pimping: Conscripted, War-Based RP

As you guys might've already heard from [livejournal.com profile] burningvigor, she and I have found a new RP we're super-excited about. Seriously, we applied as characters within the same day we heard of it, so impressed we were by the organization and the set-up/setting itself. The name is [livejournal.com profile] conscripted; it's a war environment with mod-assigned ranks and positions, along with three separate, warring factions, so it's pretty perfect for Metal Gear Solid characters. Court apped Snake and I apped Liquid; I'm totally excited since this is the first time I've been able to play him at a multifandom RP due to his uh... self-obsessed nature and being physically unable to NOT BE IN CHARGE OF SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT. (Hence why I can't have him at [livejournal.com profile] damned. D8)

Anyway, um, pimping the game. 8D

[livejournal.com profile] conscripted IS A MULTI-FANDOM ROLEPLAY GAME THAT CENTERS AROUND WARFARE WITH A DYSTOPIAN BACKGROUND. ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY FANDOM IS ACCEPTED.

Three warring countries with a common goal, and a neutral country trying to sort out their differences. For countless years, these regions have been fighting each other for more land. Their motivation was greed, and those who fight were not willing. What seemed to be a pointless war gradually dissipated the number of soldiers and then the country’s population.

That was not enough to convince the warlords that the war should end, however. Eventually, they found a way to pull bodies from the dead and (incidentally) another world. They were summoned to fight for that country no matter the circumstances. Friends will clash, families will fight and rivals will join. It would only be the matter of which of VALORA, VERITY, or EX FAVILA would get the best soldiers first.

There's a Raiden too, and WE WANT MORE MGS CHARACTERS. Please? 8D The game hasn't started yet, so I can't really say how the playing will end up being, but me and Court have already had questions we needed to bring to the mods and they were extremely understanding and accommodating about it. <3

Anyway, the RP got changed so that it opens for posting right as [livejournal.com profile] damned apps open. D: BAD FOR MY HEALTH, though of course apps take higher priority. And speaking of [livejournal.com profile] damned apps opening, I'm still crossing my fingers for Heroes people. <3333 I've been having a blast with Sylar (ALTHOUGH HE TOTALLY SCREWED HIMSELF OVER HERE AAAAHAHAHAHA) and he hasn't even encountered more than one canonmate in person yet. >D

ALL OF THIS. TOO MUCH FUN. also need to post for my and Court's RP and also watch those BATMAN ANIME SHORTS skfjhaksld

HE JUMPED THE GUN JUST A LITTLE! But she's still a little naive, and could believe the "saw it happen" excuse, since Aidou and Edward know it because of that. Then again, they were trying to eat her and not just her brains. XD

And Elle setting them all up was a brilliant piece of work, haha. Even if Claire disagrees. XD

YAY am all excited for Damned apps! XD Even if they are doomy. Have you heard if we're getting any more potential Heroes characters?

[identity profile] chaneystarr.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
UMM, I think she realized you were busy tonight, so we were going to aim for tomorrow instead? Does that work better for you?

Haha, WHEE, that would be awesome. New characters are just fun in general, but it's always a blast to get more from our characters canons. XD *is very excited for apps*

[identity profile] leaute.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds neat, but I'm kind of unsure about the future of my online roleplaying at the moment. So I must decline and close my eyes and NOT EVEN LOOK AT THE PRETTIES at the moment. XD

A war environment sounds like a great, panfandom place for MGS characters, though! :D

Argh, don't tempt me. :(

[identity profile] wyna-hiros.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, that's hotness. Thank you. :P

[identity profile] risingdragon.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
DO YOU WANT YOUR HERPESMON OR NOT

No rush, actually XD;; Just reminding you I still have one waiting for ya. I'll be home 5:30ish PM EST and should be available until 4 AM.

[identity profile] risingdragon.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
pfffahahaha XD

Well, my schedule's basically the same all summer: work from 10-5. Just let me know. :3;;

I WILL SO PLAY OCELOT OMG I just have to get home first to app

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
MAYBE I'LL DO HAL. I DUNNO.

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
I THINK POSSIBLY THE UNTIL-NOW UNSEEN MIDDLEAGED!OCELOT WHO WOULD MOST CERTAINLY BE VERY KICKASS BUT ALSO IN A BIT BETTER PHYSICAL CONDITION FOR RUNNING AROUND FIRING ROCKETS AT PEOPLE

THOUGH HAL DOES TEMPT ME

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
WOULD OUR CHARACTERS LIKE

KNOW EACH OTHER

I SAW THAT YOU GUYS EACH PICKED THE CHARACTERS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF GAMECANON

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, me and Erin took Liquid and Snake from post-MGS2, so they would know about everything that happened up until then. The Raiden is from the beginning of MGS4. Unless you were asking something else? :X

Also, I must chuck in my vote for Otacon because Snake isn't complete without him. ;_;

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
See, if I took post-MGS2 Ocelot, he'd still be a walking spoiler unless I just COMPLETELY ignored everything that happened in MGS4, which also, in turn, completely ignores his true motivations for what he's doing, not to mention the EXPLANATIONS for what he's doing.

I DUNNO IF I COULD BE A SATISFACTORY OTACON D:

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
blehhhhhhhhh on the other hand though it'd take a ton of active playing and very careful thought to do Ocelot justice and get him all backstabby D: BUT I DON'T KNOW IF I COULD PLAY HAL ANY BETTER DDDDDDD8 what should I do court

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Ocelot would be a lot of work because there would be so much stuff to keep track of. XD With Otacon, the army could be forcing him to develop technology or something (maybe?) and he could be all D: about it. I mean, both would be cool, but you have a point about Ocelot being a walking spoiler. I'M SURE YOU COULD DO A GREAT OTACON, THOUGH 8D

...Teeny!Ocelot would be cute too since then he would all OMG BIG BOSS and Snake would be like "......... you're Ocelot AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA" except not because Snake hardly ever laughs but you know. :X

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
DUDE ACTUALLY IT'D BE AWESOME IF IT WAS MIDDLEAGED!OCELOT BECAUSE SPOILERS END SPOILERS

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
SEE I WOULD VERY MUCH LOVE TO HAVE THIS YOUNG!NOTSOGREENBUTSTILLADORK!OCELOT JUST LIKE. BEFRIENDING THE SNAKES, INSTEAD OF KIND OF COMPLETELY HATING THEIR VERY EXISTENCE THE WHOLE TIME

HE COULD STILL DOUBLE CROSS EVERYONE BUT WOULDN'T IT BE AWESOME TO HAVE OCELOT AND LIQUID ACTUALLY WORKING TOGETHER OR SOMETHING

GET ON AIM PLZ

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
DUDE. I...... I THINK I WANT TO BE JR. FROM XENOSAGA. :X BUT I WOULD JOIN YOU IN VALORA, MOST DEFINITELY

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
DUDE I THINK I JUST COMPLETELY LOST ALL DRIVE TO BE INVOLVED IN IT :<<<<<<<< I always get this way, I get super super excited and then admit to myself that I don't remember enough about the characters to do them any sort of justice and don't have the time/energy/drive/dedication to not just totally abandon it ._. I think Fall of Jupiter was the only time I didn't fail hard

SORRY ;;

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
FLGKJFDLKGJDFLKG I MIGHT STILL DO SOMEONE

I DON'T KNOW

CONVINCE ME? DDDD8

*so torn oh my GOD*

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 08:19 am (UTC)(link)
JUMPING IN. You can totally do it! I mean, think about how many people out there RP. There's no reason you can't too! I mean, you know the characters well, so as long as you have a good idea of how they act (which I know you do), there's nothing to worry about. And you can always refresh yourself on the canon if you feel like you're losing a hold on the characterization, though I find it's easier to RP someone the longer you do it.

Anyway, you're a better writer than a looot of RPers out there, so... yeah! As for time, I don't think this game will go too fast (you technically only need to post once every two weeks to be active, though posting more often = more fun, of course), and... yeah. There's always the option of going on hiatus if you get really busy, too.

On the other hand, if you really aren't up to it, then just let us know and we'll quit bugging you. 8D We're just excited for more people to join and stuff.

(Psst. Speaking of refreshing on canon: MGS1, 2, and 3 are for watch here.)

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Iiiii am going to app Jr. for multiple reasons. :x I don't think I'd be devoted enough or CONNIVING enough to play Ocelot to his full potential, and although I totally love Hal to bits, I don't have a firm enough grasp on him to roleplay him -- plus, I want to be on the battlefield, not making robots. Sorry to disappoint, but I very much look forward to playing with you guys! Jr. at least has no hangups about whatever's occurred in the Metal Gear universe, so he can be friends with everybody. 8D

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-04 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it! Do what's best for you, yeah? :D I look forward to RPing with you! Snake will be all awkward around him if they meet since uhhhh we obviously know he's kind of a failure around kids.

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
XD;;;;; Snake doesn't have to worry at all. Jr. is 26 years old. He only LOOKS 12.

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know, but Snake wouldn't. And... he still looks like a good, so yeah. XD;

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
8D Don't worry, Jr. will be very quick to dispel any misconceptions Snake may have.

they can fanboy over guns together, ahahah. WATCH OUT SNAKE, IT'S RAIDEN ALL OVER AGAIN. HE'LL BE ASKING YOU QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM EVERY TWO SECONDS

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
All right, good. He's still going to be all weirded out by it, though.

Awww, that would be adorable. 8D Though you want him to be in Valora, right? So it might be a while before they actually met or anything.

[identity profile] elendraug.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
THEY CAN TALK OVER THE INTERBUTT AMITYNET

[identity profile] burningvigor.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
YES THEY CAN

[identity profile] jenifermichelle.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Since I've started playing MGS4, I've fallen in love with Otacon, but that's just it: all I've ever played is MGS4. ...And I read 'The Last Days of FOXHOUND' webcomic, XD. Its pretty funny, I understand almost everything that's going on in the game simply because of having read that comic. But Otacon and Sunny are just so cute!

Drebin is awesome too, but with how far I've gotten so far, it looks like Drebin might be a bad guy. But he has a Coke-drinking, cigarette-smoking monkey, he can't be too evil!
