VIRAL OOC: Can't Breathe

[momatoes]

Can't Breathe
The OOC Thread

A journey to the frontiers of the Alternian colony places 14 trolls, most strangers to one another, in a new starship. When an accident pits them into contact with a strange, and potentially fatal disease, who will survive?

The IC thread is up.
Necessary and flavorful background information.

IRC!! For CHAT TIMES

When exactly does the RP start?
We'll start with HIC Ios literally just slowing down after taking off and jumping into hyperspace, hours after boarding. This should mean that your troll hasn't, in all probability, settled down fully yet to life aboard Ios. But they could have already moved about and done stuff in those few hours of flight.

The first post you make is exempt from the 300-word rule.


Rules

show spoiler

hide spoiler

• A player is only allowed one character, unless special circumstances occur.
• There is a word limit of only 300 words per post*. The player may petition for a longer limit, but this does not mean that the petition will be granted.
  
  *If enough people feel this is too restrictive, I'll up the limit. If two or more people collaborated on the post, you can post in 600-word chunks, though the total collab fic itself may exceed that limit.
  .
• Be active. If 35 posts have already elapsed since your last contribution, you will get a warning. In addition, tell me in advance if you will be gone for more than one week.
• Refrain from using OOC knowledge in the RP. Always be aware of what your character should know.
• Do not intentionally initiate interpersonal conflict, especially if these are motivated by hate. I will be there to sort things out if needed.
• No god-moding.

Breaking these rules will net you at least one poke. Three pokes and you are booted. Pokes will be given with justice and I will always notify players if they are in danger of breaking a rule.

Names are greyed if they aren't in that floor or if they went somewhere undefined. Position is only very approximate.

[inexplicableSigns]

Consider this an indication of interest, then. I'll write up a profile soon. Probably a Highblood (Hue 240)

[paradoxette]

ouo i'm interested!!

time to ponder my choices *u*

[MostlyHarmless]

Interest indication a go go. I'll probably apply for a highblood slot too.

[Thunder Reign]

waves arms in interest

[BenevolentDemon]

oh hello this is cool!! vague expression of interest!!!!!!!

[Sandvich King]

This looks interesting. Should I make a brand new character or submit an aged-up version of one of my existing trolls to die to this horrible disease combat this infection? Any preference?

Hmm... Most of my current characters are highbloods, and it looks like most of the applicants are as well. I might just end up making a midblood or lowblood.

[Dragongirl30894]

Yep, sign me up for the interested list. Expect an aged-up app sent your way soon(ish) matoes.

[momatoes]

Oh just a note: I'm not going to respond to apps immediately! I'm going to do batch judging on tuesdays and fridays or summat to that effect. :0

[Captain Whosit]

An RP with more structure sounds very appealing. I'm interested and will probably apply for something on the lower end of the spectrum.

[InoxFy]

This sounds great! It's like... RP mafia! With trolls!

/me sends app

[Sandvich King]

For sending in sprites, should our troll's iris be filled in with their blood color or not?

I'm not sure what age that happens at...

[pseudoParadox]

Here's hoping I make the cut. ^^

Nah, this isn't really required (the sprite) so no need to worry too hard about it. Though you've certainly raised a good point. I'll assume for now that yes, troll eyes get filled in with their blood color at this age.

On a random note, don't get discouraged if you see that 14 or more people have already indicated interest! Some of them may not have submitted their profile. And this isn't exactly a first-come-first-served thing (see opening post, which now has info on soft deadlines) since it'll be evaluated as a batch.

[Krug]

Here.
Displaying my interest loud and clear.

That rhymed.

Okay, cool. What about 8-letter titles. Do our trolls have them yet or are we using our 6/6 names in this RP?

No titles, no need to conform to 6/6.

[armoredSkunk]

hello there,
I am interested

[Orlist]

This is a thing I am interested in.

[Autoptrophic Lizard]

I'm new to roleplaying here, but I'm interested, this game sounds fun!

[TurtleZombie]

This sounds pretty interesting, I hope I can nab myself a spot.

[Cadorean]

Violently excited proclamation of interest.

Lowblood here I come!

[Wycca]

This sounds like it'd be a very interesting role play.

Most likely will apply as a lowblood or possible midblood.

[momatoes]

Someone asked a question relating to ship crew roles.

I've thought about it, and, the short of it is: there won't be formal titles, in the sense that someone will have to be a 'ship doctor', 'ship mechanic', or 'ship pilot'. Your troll may have had training in these, and it is up to you to write that in their profile or not, but it will not result in a formal title or crew position.

Plus it'd complicate things even further and waaa
