[Other] The Big-Oh! RP — An Archive of Plans and Discussions

I don't want to seem too lazy to read, but... can someone summerize what's currently happening? I tried to read some, but after looking at the screen for a while and not understanding, blood started pouring from my pupils.

I really want to get back in as something minor (One of Alex's (or another bad guy's) lackies), but don't want to inturupt anything too important.

LOL, I just skimmed what I last wrote, what Stryker wrote and that's where I'm picking off. I have the original ideas up here *points to head*.

Though, what was happening with Seebach? Last we left him, he was dreaming at Roger's apartment? I think I'm going to borrow him for a few moments because he has something Ameilia is going to need at some point.

And of course, to let her know he's still alive. He has a habit of doing that.

I'm tempted to write for Seebach (for a little anywho) as I have some idea where FP was going.

Yeah, took me forever to get to sleep last night as I was formulating my post. I still need to put it down and post. >.<

Maybe FP should just PM you (or one of us?) the "in-a-nutshell" idea of what he had in mind for Seebach....then we can go about our own way to get there. It's just an idea.


Anyway, Wazpy, I think there was a summary of one of the character plots somewhere in the thread (was it Pen that wrote it up or Tifaria? I forget who). It didn't have the Big Ear/Dastun or Norman stuff though... but the Dastun stuff is fairly predictable (not like I can change him too much ): He's ticked that the Union has infiltrated the Miitary Police and now Big Ear is leading him to Rog and Snake.

Well, I'm currently reading over everything new. I just have two pages left.

I didn't realize that this has been on hold since March. I was under the impression that you guys were still doing this reguarly. Is it that you're at a lack of ideas or building up to something big, because if it's the former, I can start up a little sub-plot.

Also, I think the story is lacking my favorite aspect of Big O. The supernatural villains. Scwarzwald and Alan arn't too involved right now and I always loved the one-shot crazies too (Eugene, the Crazy Santa, R. D., ect.). I'd like to be some sort of monster, if none of you mind. Right now, everything seems very emotional and flashback oriented, but I'd like to see something bizarre come along.

"Lack of" is pretty accurate. We had (and still have) a lack of FP, who previously had Seebach and Norman, and was building up something rather large. We hit a hiatus because he was getting left in the dust.

Not to jump the gun, but I drew a picture (Using paint, of course) of what I'd like my character to look like. He's a gigantic, scaly man sporting laderhosen. He's one of the many mysterious crazies in Paradigm. Maybe an oddity like that would help liven the story up, since when you guys last stopped it was starting to shift away from what Big O really is.

Oh yeah, I should also add that I'm a pretty sucky writer, but I'll keep my roles minor again

I hereby promise to help with that!

I'm still a little at a loss. But again, my role is minor to everyone but Snake. >.< I'm not on regularly either, but this isn't a gaiaonline RP, so I won't get left behind to far in one day. lol. Which is good.

I'm searching for the character summaries...can anyone give me a page number? Or a vague one at least?

Later days,
Rev

OOOOOOOOk... So. I've posted. Finally kept up with my promise. It's only a skeletal thing but I wanted to post SOMETHING, so we had a "Time Warp" going on. Gotta get these writing muscles back in shape.

Hope you enjoy.

The next thing is I found the second summary but couldn't find the first...I probably didn't go back far enough. I went back to page 35 or so (looking at tree form mind you, hence it was EASY to find.) so anyone who wants to look before page 35 is welcome to. Tifaria, any chance you saved these files and still have them?? BTW: Thanks so much for the summary. I read over it and was just happy to remember everything that went on.

(I also love RD!)LOL

Wooo! Two posts in one day! Although I feel a little embarrassed because yours is well written and thought out, while mine is like a blurb Stan Lee would write in a 60's comic. That's what happens when I have no dialogue.

Still, if you're not involved with the main story right now and want to write something, we can see what develops out of this.
I'll take this side story in any direction depending on how people get involved. Afterall, my ideas about the character aren't totally fleshed out yet anyway (Don't worry... it's nothing too stupid...). Maybe we can even get it linked to the main plot. I just don't want the whole RPG to fall into itself, which seemed to be happening.

I don't particularly have any complaints about what happened with the android and reporter - but where does b-money fit in, since Dorothy had just come into the parlor as of Big Money's last post?

...actually, the idea that she rushed out and completely ignored him just hit me, and it's really funny.

Oops...I knew he was in the living room, but Dorothy left him in the capable hands of Beck, the master of the house . Dorothy's humor never ends.

Judging from Stryker's post, time passed, so I just skipped ahead to get Dorothy back in the story line. Amelia was kind of easy too because I was going to have her visit her father (originally more detailed...and I'm thinking I might go back and edit that...). The letter was just an idea I had, I just have to decide what's in the letter.

Where's Stryker?!

I do have a prequel/character sketch of Amelia. I just haven't decided if it's worthwhile to post.

How cruel of her... Alex, Alan, make way for the villianous R. Dorothy Wayneright.

Ooh. Sounds entertaining.

That's kind of cool, though. XD Having a big new weirdass sudden story-arc like that, you know? Where is Roger? This is the question.

Or, you know. Something.

LOL, good idea, but kinda hard when my character is facing him at the moment.

D: Fack, so... someone's just temping him? Or we're really waiting on Stryker? Or what?

Looks like they were planning to fight, but they're at a distance, so nothing needs to happen.

But when I was reading those last two pages, I was getting confused because Roger seemed to be doing 50 things at once, so I don't know if he's big on the idea of starting something else or if he just feels like he has to.

O_O Good thing I still check this place every once in a while, just in case, or I wouldn't have known you guys were going to start up again!

Ta-Da! I'm pretty sure that's the first summary. I still have the files, though, if it's not the right one. I split the storylines when I did the summaries, so they can be kind of confusing.

And you're welcome! I know I'm going to have to re-read them as well to remember what I was doing.

quote:

Where's Stryker?!

*shrug* Dunno. Haven't spoken to him in months. He's probably just really busy or something.

Well, anyway, I'm still here, still busy in my life, but still want to play. Haven't written anything in forever, though, and I need to re-read things to remember what I was doing/what I intended to do.

So uh. How would you feel about getting a use or two out of Beck and Angel in the near future? I'd really love to discuss and maybe co-write a flashback between Angel and Alan, and I think I want poor Beck to become some sort of hostage at the hands of Alan at some point. XD;

We should taaaaallllk. 8O

YES. OMG, I'd love an Alan/Angel flashback. And Beck at the hands of Alan? Double yes! That'd be awesome.

Summer school and work are eating up a lot of time, but you can always email/PM me, since I have trouble finding time to be on AIM anymore. XD
