a NaNoWriMo is born- Yea or Nay?

[Kris]

We gonna make an event specially made for the month of November.

Right now we are considering a direction of creating a profile of a man/woman with people picking up said person and placing him/her in different setting for short stories.

Our goal will be to reach 50,000 words with as many members that willing to take part in it, with said person profile starring in each and every story (as main hero), to reach a collection of short stories that will be 50,000 words in total (or maybe more).

And my question is. Do you think it will work?


If you do vote so, and suggest idea for said profile

Name:
Age:
gender:
appearance:
Setting in which you see said hero appear in:


I'll leave the voting open for two weeks allowing people to vote their minds. If we are going for this, I will create a new poll thread in which we can pick on of the profiles to be the link in our future stories collection for November.

[Griff]

As long as at the end we should submit it to the contest under the name RPA with every member's name who contributed in it.

Name: Scarf Muckbuckle
Age: 112
gender: Scarf Muckbuckle is whatever Scarf Muckbukle wants to be.
appearance: A small red-headed gnome. Has a large nose. Scarf Muckbuckle carries around a javelin and a goat. The goat is led by a rope and uses a backpack to hold all of Scarf's belongings.
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: A fantasy-type D&D world.

The Various Adventures of Scarf Muckbuckle and their Bedraggled Goat Companion

[Kris]

I'm not sure about fully submitting it, I see it more as a site thing (but if more people will want it so, I may reconsider) But everyone working into it will get a speical badge for sure!

Thank you for submitting!

Name: Cake Bot
Age: A couple of weeks
gender: Cake bots have no gender.
appearance: Cake bot appears like a normal robot except it has an oven for a stomach, can turn it's arms into hoses that squirt icing, and fingers into knives at will.
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: Any world possible, the basic little thing about Cake Bot is that it travels across time and space delivering cakes like a mail service.

It's quirky, but I think that's what makes it all the more fun.

[Rha'az]

Love this idea.

Name: Ryon Cross
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Appearance: White hair, a normal right blue eye and a different red left eye. He appears somewhat young, and had an average build, no facial hair whatsoever.
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: Science-fantasy or noir.

[Kris]

Name: Leah "Lolo"/"Lilith" Huert
Age: Mid 30s
gender: Female
appearance: Pale skin lady with somewhat long black hair and Big Blue/Purple eyes. About average height.
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: Sci-fi/ Modern world with a twist/ Noir

[Arcus]

:D A NANO EVENT? COUNT ME IN!

Name: "Flora" Anurian (No one remembers her actual name
Age: 19
gender: Female
appearance: She has a petite stature with with long hair blonde hair with blue eyes.
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: It is a fantasy setting, it is from one of the stories I lost progress on
I was actually going to keep Flora (her name changes later in the story,) in the world I had created for here. She was a scribe in training, pretty much finished the ceremony to be come a full one (I say pretty much because she fainted. Though has received everything she needed to be considered an official scribe.) When she wakes up, everyone around her is dead. She has a massive wound in her stomach. Blah blah blah, she got away and now wants to survive, hiding she was a scribe for fear of who attacked everyone else would come after her again.

The world is fantasy, world. It is filled with adventurers, heros (the two are different,) explorers, Doctors, dragons, different races, old grudges, Collesuems (sorry can't spell.) Where people face challenges, put on a good show, and are tested. ;) Not to mention who knows what your companions will be like.

Name: Sir Henry Miles
Age: 25
gender: Manly Man
appearance: A muscular knight, in really cool armor
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: High fantasy. With dragons. Definitely dragons.

[Kris]

Nice stuff so far!! :)

[Arcus]

:D you're starting the Nano Excitement early, but now my hype is already building

[Kris]

Early is good, makes me better plan this, since it's an idea suggested by m139, and was never done before. So I want to test the ground early.

And if the hype is building, the merrier!

[Dnafein]

Name: Dorian Quaid (DR9-Q8D-T43)
Age: 7 years old
gender: depends
appearance: Dorian appears as either a tall beautiful woman with dark hair, or a handsome dark haired man. In truth DR9-Q8D-T43 is a sentient collection of nanomachines.
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: Noir/Superhero/futuristic

[Krysis]

Hold on a second, folks. We need a character (or rather, a plot concept) with enough oomph to get through 50,000 words, with an average short story of 1,000 words. So, simple math, we need something that can be consistent and interesting in about fifty stories!

>.>
Gambit's idea is pretty good.

Something a bit more epic might be nice though! A struggle between two immortal (or consistently reincarnated?) beings, stretched over the whole spectrum of perceived existence. Avatars of the gods, or angel/demon if y'all are more comfortable with that concept.

I'd kinda like to see Zeus and Cronus reincarnated, actually. The womanizing, divine manslut and the psychotically jealous father-god that he killed and rescued his older siblings from the belly of... The Greek myths are so fun. They have the advantage of being vague enough to be played with, and well known enough that anyone can pick them up with minimal research.

Edited to include proper format

Name: Cronus
Age: Ancient spirit, reincarnated age as appropriate
gender: Usually male
appearance: Consistent birthmark (sickle?), otherwise, variable
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: Any

Name: Zeus
Age: Slightly less ancient spirit, reincarnated age as appropriate
gender: Usually male
appearance: Consistent birthmark (lightning bolt), otherwise, variable
Setting in which you see said hero appear in: Any

Well, if people want to write more than 1,000, or few stories they are welcomed (Their count on this will go as 1 for the monthly count on the writing reward too)

So if they submit 1 (or more entries) for NaNoWriMo event, and will have written in the 3 prompts of same month, it will count as 4 in total, allowing them a chance to earn 2 badges (one of the event itself, and one of the monthly prompts).

Krysis, I love your ideas but I'm gonna need you to use the format I made here (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=83344&p=2816190&viewfull=1#post2816190) for it to count in the voting thread I will make in two weeks time.

(You can use the format to suggest more than one idea)


EDIT:

Thank you for the edits !! :)

Arcus Please fill it in the format:

Name:
Age:
gender:
appearance:
Setting in which you see said hero appear in:

You can add everything else in addition, but I need a strict format into this for the voting thread later.

[Arcus]

I need to fill it out again? I filled Flora out when I voted... Oh wait, were you saying to put the world thing into the Characters sheet? Sorry, wasn't sure what all was supposed to put on that last part ^^ but I can certainly add it to the other CS. Sorry for the stress

[Kris]

My bad, I thought it was a new profile. My bad.

[Arcus]

^^ Oh, I'm more than happy to create more. Just thought one work be a good starting point for now

and no worries, I probably should have made it clear it was for my previously mentioned one.

[Rha'az]

Those chars with noir genres makes me think that they knew each other XD

[Kris]

XD

[m139]

Hm... Guess I should submit a sheet...

Name: Arthur Sandford, Planer Traveler
Age: 89
Gender: M
Setting: really, anything

This is the stories of a guy, now advanced in years, who has jumped planes (timelines) all his life. Stories can thereby be in any sort of setting, and at almost any time in his younger life, including the story of how he managed to get his profession. Basically, this work could be described as "The Many Adventures of Arthur Sandford, Planer Traveler"

[Kris]

Thanks everyone.

This is closed.

I'll start the voting thread soon.
