Single Thread RP Project GLEOA: A Beginner-Oriented RP

[Asternove]

Hello! I've seen many people who want to start RPing but are quickly overwhelmed, so I'm starting this! It's as simple as possible and all experienced RPers take roles as guides to help you out. I will basically explain everything like you have never heard of this before for that reason.

Introduction to GLEOA
"Hello, readers. Today here at Olace Sciences we are making a test on the planet Aurora, named for the Northern Lights it makes very commonly. Using "Guides," we will send many people-- don't ask where we got them, that's confidential-- to the planet and watch them. Summarize their adventures. Learn from them. That's all. Good luck, first Aurorans.

[can I be a guide OOC and a normal character IC?]

{Maybe at a later date you can have a character but sure you can be a guide.}

 

[Fluxxation]

If I’m a guide do people get to imagine everything I say over the intercom in Cave Johnson’s voice??

{Yep.}

(Awesome…

So do I just like.. remain outside of the RP and solely in the OOC.. or do I have a character that prompts IC events in such a way, that my OOC comments have some examples behind them?)

{You can use an OC as a guide but they pretty much are just OOC stuff.}

{This was a bad idea wasn’t it.}

{They’ll be a disembodied voice. Are you okay with that? If you really want them to be they can be like a ghost.}

(oh.. I was assuming it was more they could have this body show up to help flesh things out but otherwise speak over an intercom type thing.. I had assumed maybe more hands on examples might prove a bit more effective in teaching concepts? For example, if we’re discussing a first combat segment, being able to describe how the system works, then include an example in the same post might prove very effective. Just food for thought. If need be, then yeah, just the voice is fine.)
