Character Power Rankings: Strength

I know that there is no possible way to calculate how fast or how strong a character is, and there is no way to make a system believable that doesn't mean I won't try ;) 
 
I need a list for right now of the Vine's Super Strength people! I don't want ALTS that haven't been used in ages I want the Active ones. WITH A LINK 
 
For it to count, the Character Must be used in an RPG. 
 
Only Actually Super Strength Counts (Thru Items is alloweD) , Strength thru other means isn't allowed.

3 Year Anniversary!

Seems like only yesterday I was joining this site... no it doesn't it actually feels like three years.  However it was an awesome three years!. Thought i technically joined on the 29th, this year doesn't have one! 
  
I've pretty much spent all Three of my Years here in the  Fan Fics and Rpg sections, I'm really happy with how everything is up to this point. I'm glad I embraced some of the opportunities i was confronted with. (Decept-O and Tonis). I've really tried this last year to embrace all aspects of this site. So to a great 3 years Thanks!

Unoffical Rpg Terminology

  • Rp or Rpg -Role Play/Role Playing Game

  • Character Look - The look of your Rpg character (most times your avatar)
  • Canon- A phrase which usually means with continuity; when something is cannon it means it follows in chronological order

  • Auto-Hit - Writing your attacks in such a way that your opponent has no choice in whether or not it lands. "Gambler cartwheel kicked (random character name) in the face dislocating his/her jaw" = Autohit *

  • Selling - There are many forms of "Selling" the most coming is with attacks. When character A throws an attack at character B, and character B writes a response that makes that attack land and look good, that is a form of selling. You can also sell a characters intelligence, charm, look, powers, etc.*
  
 
  •  God Mod -  You can’t do  everything. There are areas where your character is strong, and other areas where he/she/it is weak. DON’T have a character without weaknesses (physical, mental, emotional) that can be exploited. Don’t make an all-powerful character; it really kills the RP if no one can possibly beat you. - written by Buckshot *
 
  • Overrated - A person's whose skills are not as good as everyone claims they are

  • Underrated - A person whose skills are rarley noticed

  • "Putting someone over" This can be linked to "selling." It can also mean an established Rpger letting a new user get the better of them in an Rpg. When you put someone over you're making them look good through your actions/posts/writing.

  • "Elite" - A great rpger. Not to be confused with a Great or Elite writer. Its possible to be one without being the other.

  • "OOC" - Out Of Character

  • Story - A Story rpg. Usually (but not limited to) a group of rpgers working together to create/follow a plot. Rpg teams are more often then not involved in a story rpg.

  • Battle - Character vs Character. There are exceptions and a Battle Rpg can and often does revolve around a story, but the term is commonly used to describe a character vs character fight.

  • ALT - Alternate Rpg Account. Another character you've created and signed up with on the Vine. See Icarusflies for further details :P

  • CVU - Comicvine Universe.

  • CV Multiverse - A universe where multiple variations of CVU appear.
  • IC- In Character


  • "Badass" - The sh!t, awesome, cool, tight, great, amazing, and so on.
  • True Blue: A character who is a hero and does not or has not changed alignment.
  • True Red: A villains who has not or has not denounced their evil ways.
  • True Gray: A neutral character that remains in their alignment without shifting to either villain or hero.
  • Rookie - a New Rpger
  • NPC- Non Playable character
  •   Pulling a Jedi/OBI - Up and leaving without  a word

Stop being a server get a meal yourself! (Leadership tips)

  Despite what it looks like, being a leader of an RPG team is hard work. The leader has the daunting task of, finding “New Talent” getting that talent involved in the rpg system; The leader in most cases has to provide new and exciting rpg’s to keep the team interested, but also the leader must be optimistic. As a leader you want to know everything about the members of your team (Character-Wise), Where they’re from, their back-story everything. This is a whole hell of a lot easier if you’re related to most of those characters; however in my case it’s not.

Character Based Rpg’s: Not really a fan of CB’s but they are good for the simple fact that on a team that’s always aiming for the Grand Scale Rpg’s this gives select members a chance to allow their team into their history. These are the rpg’s that give off that sense of individuality.

Huge Rpg’s (Team Vs Team): Are exactly what they mean, Huge anywhere from 15- 20 Viners; with so many people posting seldom does every post get read; but these Huge are probably more important, because it’s a showcase; It’s basically Our talent vs their Talent and as a leader, it’s your job to make sure you put certain members of your team in that “limelight” whether they want it or not.

Most people in that spot take it, and it leads to them doing more and more rpg’s around the community; which is what we want. If I know So- and So can move a story, without godmodding and downplaying my character. I’m more likely to work with that person; than a person whom writes well, but only does the bare minimum in a post.

(One example of just a great story, was that one me and NH did, because it had no plot or anything, it was just a team up; and we just post until a story developed.)

Non active members, are team killers; problem with Omega Justice (The first) was I wasn’t in control of who was being admitted to the team, (keep in mind I’ve been here for nearly two years) but I was seeing all these “In actives” being admitted to the team, and I knew it would be a downfall. Members who keep telling you that they’ll post; or that they’ll be more active but then don’t do a thing are Team Killers; and what you have to do as a leader is invoke a active persona. What’s the point of having an inactive member bearing your name, if they aren’t around cut them from the roster; it’s a spot someone else can have.

This isn’t to be confused with Semi-Active members, don’t be a heartless leader there are some Adults (and school students) that rpg; but can’t commit to it full time. These people usually tell you when joining they won’t be fully active; that’s when you just let them know what rpg’s to post in and what the team is doing.

I’m not the type of leader who says there HAS to be a set list of things you must cover in a post; IF our rpg is about fire and you say something about steel I’m not going to bite your head off. However there is a relevance factor that everyone needs. IF you go overboard with the Steel then I might say something, but Mid rpg I’m always open to a plot change or twist. (IDK about everyone else) I like how the creative mind works, so if I think that someone else’s plot twist will make a killer story that’s what we’ll do. As a leader you want to make sure everyone is involved.

Create a fun atmosphere; DK does an awesome job at this, Not all team rpg’s have to be serious, or Hero vs Villian. It can be something simple like a birthday party, or a hero dedication ceremony.

Drama- I don’t like it when members from any of my teams are wrapped in a lot of drama because it alienates, you (who can be seen as an associate), from everyone else and it just casts a negative vibe on the section. One BIG thing that was a problem for some members on OJ was the massive amount of bickering, and whining going on in voting threads. So, me being the awesomely awesome leader that I am advocated to just let the Voting threads go.  

Stop doubting yourself. Not really a leader tip, but just in general;  I don’t wanna hear that “I don’t wanna rpg with you cause you’re a legend” Or “I’ll rpg with you when my skills get better” It’s complete B.S and when you do that you eliminate the chance at making a good story and character development.

This one’s a pet peeve; so I’ll put it in CAPS

JUST BECAUSE YOUR CHARACTER   ASSOCIATES THEMSELVES WITH LEGENDS, DOESN’T MEAN THEY’RE ENTITLED TO THE SAME TREATMENT.

Back in my day (lol), everyone character was different, there were a few people whom had linked stories (me included) but you could separate our characters from the person we were linked to. Now it’s like I approach and RPG and I’m supposed to downplay my character whom has been around for two years; to some brat that’s the nephewsisterniece of Kublahkhan. B.s I don’t care if your related to MR, NOVA, HUNTER OR ARROW you earn your place in this section just like everyone else.

P.S I want someone to take offense, cause I’m feeling b!tchy >:)

My top 20 greatest RPG Battles

 20. Renegade Lantern 

http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/prelude-to-destineys-pastrenegade-lantern-vs-sha-lopez/15428/#13      
 
Following a low scale rpg battle i had with Editman, and Jasmine Cole (Taki) I rpged with Jet Jaguar whom didn't really know what was going on. (truthfully neither did i) , and then i asked RL if he'd battle me, he agreed and even though he clearly let me win, I moved into position to get recognized for the stuff  i was doing low scale. I had fought DC whom was using an ALT he quit because i didn't really know what i was doing but this battle gave me a ton of confidence that i needed especially since I was STORIES away from where i am now, and i had only been on the Vine for 2 months. This was a time, where Dormath, Akira, Jax, Copy, and Shaper were being recongized as the up and coming "stars" and Nova, Myself and the rest of WAL were just Bottom feeders lol. 
 

19. Eternal Chaos

http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/battle-of-the-sexes/15205/#21     
 
I had just become a full time member of the Vine Villians; Not the inner circle but the grunts, and despite my status on the team, I was leading my own team at the time called the Death Syndicate (First team i ever created). Alot of people told me EC was over powered this that and whatever, but I didn't care about winning all i wanted was to write a good story. I think we did just that. With battles with two huge names under my belt It kind of made me get the hang of the rpging set up. 
  

18. Angelic Reaper

 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/sha-vs-ar/14715/? 
 
25 days after i joined the Vine, I was going toe to toe with my good friend AR; Not sure why exactly we began to rpg, I think it started as her testing my abilities, I remember feeling completly outclassed. Because at that time i was using a Sha that wasn't powered by her normal alien means, so most of my post looked like mush when reading. Anyways, Battle wise we stalemated, writing wise she owned me. AR's Dark Angelic Reaper, is where i drew the idea of chaos Black; so in a sense she helped me developed Sha.  
 

17. Akira Overdrive

 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/external-conflict-sha-vs-akira-overdrive/18008/#13 
 
I joined the Vine, when the 1st KOV was ending, so I wasn't going to miss a chance to enter the second. I had left The Vine Villians, and the HFC and stayed as the leader of L.O.V.E. I remember when i saw this i was so made, because i just knew i would lose. I remember thinking about it in school all day (shut up i was 17) , and AR was in the Tourney, Feral was in the tourney, and I was the leader, so i knew me losing would just look so bad. If this battle had ended in it's entitry, I would have lost, but the judges gave it to me. Which boosted my ego; and ultimatly set the scene for one of the biggest rivarles on the Vine IMO. (Sha vs Nova) 
 

16. Soul Taker 

 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/chaos-beackons-soul-taker-vs-sha-lopez/16513/#19 
 
I can't explain anything i wrote now; but back then hell yeah, This battle Was so epic because ACER was known for writing Gigantic post, and i told myself if he was going to do it I was going to do it; and SO i did not only did we go back and forth, we delevoped Gigantic post, for a battle. granted a bunch of my was filler, but this was probably my proudest moment. 
 

BREAK! 

 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/vine-civil-war-08/19062/#154  
 
The Vine Civil War was the death of this WAL Sha, i would eventually retcon her, into the Ninjan Queen upon her return.

Vine 2030 was the first time, The Ninjans became Main figures in an RPG this was an acheivement that i hoped to see, Kurrent made it happen! 
  

15. Genesis Archer

    http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/hatefearand-redemption/27950/#3 
 
I think this was two days after AR died, and i tried my hardest to write out post for this rpg; I had a good opening, and it looked like it was going to be an epic fight.  but I just couldn't do it and i had to let, G.A take the win.  
 
 

14. Team Sha Vs Team Acer

  http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/team-sha-vs-team-acer-rpg/28335/#8
 
 This battle was a great idea; Acer whom had more accounts than me then, and I decided to have an account War; the most awesome thing about this battle, was that you can see us getting lazy from post to post. We should have finished with a bunch of Epic one liners. 
 

  13. Light

http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/black-vs-light/28116/#8  
  
Light used to piss me off so much, with his arrogant attitude that the first week i met him we fought twice, this was the first one; Needless to say it was rather stale, as most of our energy was poured into our other battle.  When the Two battles ended, i guess i started to soften up or whatever because he's one of my buddies now ^_^. Though he certainly wasn't a playboy, he just did what he was told! 
 

12. Sha vs Nova #2 

 http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/feral-vs-sha/15984/#20 
 
In Sha vs Nova, 1, I quit because the whole Rpging thing was just to confusing and I don't think Mags had finished training me, but by the time Fight Number 2 came around I was more than ready to give Nova a grade A ass kicking, little did i know she would win the next 3 but at that time Nova and Sha were just two characters on the Vine. Nova always had the praise of RL and Andy would briefly give me writting tips, but i never flet like i had anyone in my corner, but I showed the vine by beating the Viner everyone loves HA! 
 

11.  Cassie Strong Vs Mark1212

http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/the-stong-cassie-strong-vs-mark1212/28995/#7  
 
Not to many people knew i was Cassie Strong, I joined the Vine as Sha on that leap year, but Cassie was my first account; (Though When the New update happened she recieved a generic date). Anyways, Nova and Acer, and The Hunter will tell you, I don't play around with Cassie, Sha may be my flag ship character but I've had numerous battles with C strong that were epic. Mark was a great opponent, We deciced to quit the match though, because i got tired of chasing him through the town. 
 
 

10. Slight

I was iffy about rpging Slight because he uses Water and it's a no-no for my character, though I was almost defeated i used a science type equation and stole the win from him.

Almost a year, after he turned me down for my first fight, Me and DC were fighting again, this time for real. I used a pretty entricate scheme of Gravity and motion control, to render my opponents motionless, but DC broke it and ultimatly beat me. This battle meant something to me, because the bastard kind of shrugged me off the first time, now he nows SHA and the one to mess with! lol 
 

8. Paladin 

While with the HFC, I killed LP then after my fight with DC Sha lost her memory and became a knew person altogather, this was my first time rpging as Tiffany Fairbanks a women who was obessed with wrestling. I think LP beat me, but I killed him so HA!   http://www.comicvine.com/forums/rpg/9/paladin-vs-sha/378646/#13

2009 was a really dry year for me, I was gone for atleast 4 months, but i returned to battle Andferne as Solace/Lonestar. This was big because, I had already battled RL, DC and With Andy under my belt i just needed Gambler to complete the set. This battle was key in Maya's delevlopment as a character.  
 

6.  Nova

Nova and I, faced off again at KOV 4,  This was a great battle, because Hayden HATES Nova, and NOVA HATES Hayden, so it was really good to have these too fight and for something awesome like a spot in the KOV, despite putting up a grand effort Nova killed Hayden in the end, and moved on to the next round. This was a great battle because it pushed the limits of my writing as Hayden.

Every now and then you like to break away from your shell and just break stuff, the Hunter allowed me to do that as Cassie Strong, this battle was probably the most physical battle I've ever been in. When ever I use Cassie Strong, I feel badass so i feel like going up against the "king of badass" just made this battle so much more fun for me. 
 

2. Sha vs Nova # 19 

This battle was epic because it was the Same Sha vs the Same Nova, only now that Nova was evil; and this was the first time Nova was evil in one of our fights since our second.  This battle just had some much emotion between the both of our characters, and it was just an easy flow, I was able to post back and forth; and just wonder about what was going to happen next. I beat Nova in this one.

Sha universe

Ok, so they way my character is set up; is so that everything that happens in the CVU stays in the CVU and then everything that happens in the SU (Sha universe) Stays in the SU; however recently i've thrown a spin on it, and It sorta kinda effects those whom have connections to certain Characters. Ziccarra Liafador formely known as Sha; was erased from CVU existence; since the CVU runs parralel with the SU; the Universe began to substitute people from the Sha universe into the CV, to fill that void.  Basically the universe i have where all my characters have there own orginal bio's has been compromised and those people like Gwen and Maya are switching universes.
 

Ziccarra Liafador CVU


 

No Caption Provided

Ziccarra participated in the Civil War; though she was a major component of it, she did not finish; she went mentally insane and became the being known as Chaos Black.  Chaos is a being that gets stronger; due to Misery, Torment and Hate; Chaos can create rifts in time to draw energies from other time periods, knowing that she would cause a great deal of panic by Erasing Sha from this time; she herself stays hidden in "Earth" form; in another world.  Chaos leaving the CVU; made Maya Lopez from the SU replace Ziccarra Liafador here. 
  

Maya Lopez- Sha Universe

    
No Caption Provided


Maya Lopez from the Sha Universe was a student at SOLACE city high; when Ziccarra Liafador disappeared from the CVU, the universe pulled young Maya (Whom is older than CVU Maya) from her time, and placed her here. Though she doesn't know it Maya doesn't share the same DNA structure from that of the OLD Maya. SU Maya is Currently the leader of the Omega Justice Team. 
 

Maya Lopez: CVU

 
No Caption Provided
Maya Lopez, whom was apart of the ICE Dragons, and Veritas has been gone for a while, when Lonestar first returned to lead the VV she then disappeared, being sent to a "Third World" Universe,  When Maya; left the evil being known as Lonestar got recognized by the universe as "SOLACE". Let's recap!  
 
Maya Lopez from the SU (Moonstone pic) is recognized in CVU as SHA 
Lonestar from the CVU in this universe is recognized as SOLACE. 
 
Not something anyone of your characters would probably catch unless they are in tune with universal shifts and what not. 
 

Gwen Lopez- CVU


No Caption Provided
You all know Sha's mother Gwen, well she too has been replaced, only she was replaced by a Character already known in the CVU; Y intercept.  As the SU, still had one missing piece, (A spot for the lost of lonestar) The universal shift let Y intercept (A character i created Specifically for the CVU) take the spot of Gwen, Gwen joins Maya in the Third World Universe, as well. 
 
I wrote this because I wanted to let you know; (In a cool way sort of) That in this universe Gwen is gone; and the Universe has accepted Y intercept as her replacement.  Now Chaos, Ziccarra, Solace, and Gwen from the CVU are currently in a place called the third world universe. A universe i created, where all my; outdated and bad idea's go. (Literally, Mount Fire is there!!! lol) 
 

Third World Universe

In the TWU, all your character's do exist (Only those i've rpg'ed with though), the reason for them being there is because, I've often thought about how i'd use your characters if they were mine, and those thoughts caused them to get deposited here.  There is really only one way to escape the TWU and that would be to find me, (Jlynn) in the CVU and have me write you out of it lol. 
  


  Gwen has been found by a man named, Zack Bates (A character i was going to create with a Norman Osborne get up) he ask her to work with him to restore order to Solace Town , though she doesn't know how the hell she got there she does decide to help and she and him create a prized organization called. Absolute Justice (Sound familiar? well that was the name that came to my mind when slight introduced OMEGA Justice). 
 

 R to L: Lightbright, Superior, Mr.Mercury, Warsman, Tank, Closure and Ultimate JSA
 R to L: Lightbright, Superior, Mr.Mercury, Warsman, Tank, Closure and Ultimate JSA

Your probably like WTF, well this was a few of the people i originally thought about asking to join OMEGA Justice team, before i decided that 8-10 would be the max number, in TWU these guys are Absolute Justice and they are a very rule oriented team lead by WARSMAN! 
 


    
 Bottom, U: Donnie V, War Killer, Hunter, Talon,Charge, Precise, Arach-Knight, CVU SOLACE and DH               
 Bottom, U: Donnie V, War Killer, Hunter, Talon,Charge, Precise, Arach-Knight, CVU SOLACE and DH               
This team was derived from a number of this (Last person i talked to, Saw posting, ETC.) 
 
However in TWU, this team happens to be "Hyperions Court" another name that came from Slight; When Maya joined this team, her main purpose was to get to know this world; as she knew most of these people back in her time, they didn't poesses some of the same qualities that the ones SHE knew did. I.E Charge up doesn't have the power to construct forefields, she is essentially a mix between Kurrent and Jubilee 
 

 Absolute Justice; while indeed a "Hero team" can be called Murderers while HC, are more along the lines of Justice. Your probably like where are the real villians?  Well the story goes like this.
 

      
      

Sarah Stone (Who is essentially MR, with a changed name) is one of Solace Town's biggest financer's whoever she discovers a breakthrough in techonlogy and becomes the target of every villian in town.  To secure her future, she fakes her death and  returns as Lockhart.  
 
                
                
Lockhart is being hunted down by Arrow and Sha (Roselia Cortez); though Sha, disappears, because Surprise! I wrote her into common CV continuity.  Arrow is a thinker, not a worker and he knows with the power to manipulate energy and matter, he could not only take hold of this town but possibly everything connected to it. Though not a very physical person his abilties to see into people's hearts make him the most cunning.  He himself keeps having run in's with AJ and HC. 
 
 
 
 
      
      
 Patrick Back  was a business partner with Sarah, and not only did he know of her faked death he, knew of the "Lockhart" before she finished it, he found the schematics for the suit and built one of his own, though his isn't as powerful as Lockharts. He is often seen as the savoir or Aurora city, though his tenures in Solace Town are all but heroic, he has fought and even killed members of the Hyperion Court. 
 
 

 BT. U: Homicide, Diego, Surreal, Hawk, Eclipse, Sarah Stone, Nighthunter
 BT. U: Homicide, Diego, Surreal, Hawk, Eclipse, Sarah Stone, Nighthunter
The NH society is actually something created by NH himself; though the Idea came to me, when he allowed me to use my character "Diego" as apart of this storyline. They moved to Ferrum City after, Patrick Back banned them from Aurora City.  Though they lost Sarah Stone, they are the most elite fighting team in the country, though they fight for justice, they are usually paid by the police force to keep the city free of scum.

Aqua is Feral Nova; (Stemming from how i orginally wanted to create her in the beginning, in CV high. Here she knows Solace is not from this world and she is trying to capture her, though she is a hero she work; for an under ground group called. Zeta. Her water powers allow for her to tell if which someone is lying or telling the truth, she and Solace have fought on many occassions though; Solace usually gets help from HC.

Sha: battle for the mantle!

Yuppers taken right out of DC, only I'm going to do it for Sha, If you haven't read Sha lost her inner fight with Chaos Black, which made them finally become one person. NOW; Solace City needs a SHA to step up and be a leader. The problem is which one? It would be easy to make Maya (Solace) the new Sha, but I have other plans for Maya.  So this is what I'm going to do. I'm going to do a One shot for 8 of my characters (One's that have been around), and what i need you guys to do is decide which one would make a good replacement. This is for ONE to see if i could transform another one of my characters into my main, and two a good way for everyone to understand this NEW Sha right out the bat.  So these are the nominee's 
 

  1. Shane (Male Sha)
  2. Attention whore
  3. Gwen Lopez
  4. Hayden Miles

Sweetness on a Stick University pt 2 ("How to complete a Legacy")


No Caption Provided

  Class is back in session guys! (No distracting picture let’s do it right this time). The question I get asked the most is “How can I become a legend” and the first thing that comes to mind is “How the heck should I know” but if I had to take a whack at it I’d say “Just be active” This is how to Complete a Legacy.

In this section you will learn how to:

·          Write an rpg post/ Respond to an Rpg post

·          Create a Team/ Recruit members

·          Advanced Bio’s
 

Writing's/ Responding to an Rpg post

I’ve trained a few Viners and many of them all start off the same way having a good premise but lacking the major components of an actual rpg which include:

·          Detail

·          Sentence Structure

·          And basic Rpg structure.

Probably the hardest thing about Rpging is the opening, but a very descriptive opening sets the tone for the rest of the rpg. I know I know enough talking right! Ok let’s do it!

Opening an rpg, you want to start with a place that has limitless options for description, now I will be battling Myself, as Gerald the Sloth. Here’s an example of an opening post.

“Glancing out over the huge wildflowers, he laid eyes on the huge waterfall that seemed to viscously pound the riverbed with a relentless supply of water. Most of his other targets had been taken down within the cages of the concrete jungle, being in an actual jungle for a change was a bit soothing. Shifting his position in the tree, he sat waiting just listening to the chatter of the jungle, he almost hoped his target didn’t show, because this would allow an extra day or so to just chill before “The hunt began”. Running his hands through his crew cut, he quickly found out the consequences of sitting in a tree, Mosquito’s and lots of them, dropping from the sentry, he stayed clocked by the chlorophyll filled plants, and he cautiously glanced around the area…all clear. Walking across the plain he made his way over to the perfect blue river, glancing down at his reflection he let off a sigh filled with anxiousness. His choice to come out in the opening had its dire risk, it was when he stopped hearing the sounds of the forest, and did he himself get worried.

Ok that’s an opening post example, clearly it’s not finished but that’s how I’ll start if off, Gerald is in the forest waiting for his target to come, so we get the sense that Gerald is an assassin, and he’s done this before.

Ok now this is the part where I call “setting up the opponent” . I’ve faced a lot of people who didn’t know how to set me up. Here’s kind of an idea of what I’m talking about. “I’m the Villian doing bad stuff, and the hero is somewhere in my general area, now instead of coming to me, they make me come to them, I’m a Villain WTF am I finding a hero for, understand?”

You probably don’t, but I’ll try to help you, ok let’s say that I’m on a bridge an I’m destroying it, and the hero is in the city, wondering what is happening, at the end of the hero’s post they need to either be on the way or on the bridge so the encounter between the hero and Villain is there. Understand? No! Fine I’ll show you! By posting the body of the RPG from Sha’s point of view (Remember Sha is the Villain, and we are going to assume that Gerald has spotted her)

The forest had went on idle, there was no sound; other than that of the mighty waterfall glancing around the forest Haven the Ninjan queen tried to zero in on what the disturbance   might be but, the mist coming from the waterfall corrupted her keen eyesight. Moving through the forest, she could feel her anger growing, someone was watching her. She couldn’t understand why the world wouldn’t leave her alone, she didn’t take place in the events of judgment day, and so why were they after her?

Aaaaaand Cut, now in our rpg so far, Gerald has spotted Sha, Sha knows Gerald is around but she can’t find him, now what should Gerald do? Confront the Ninjan, if Gerald doesn’t make the interaction between him and Sha in his next post often times that ends up with the Sha (player) not having much to post about. That’s what I mean when I say setting up an rpg, put your opponent in the position to come in. That is if the battle is done on a whim, now one thing I’ve seen eclipse and Portrait both do is set it up like a story rpg, which is probably better, but I’m from the old school so I do it the other way. Both are great ways though.

Alright let’s finish this Rpg Post (The Gerald One).

Glancing down at his feet, he picked from the soggy mud what appeared to be a picture, what shocked him more was that it was a picture of himself. He squinted his eyes at the sight of the ruffling bushes across the riverbed. “Bingo”, he said with a smirk he had found his target, and his target had found him the question was, how he was supposed to get across the river. Glancing at the waterfall he could see a tree protruding outwards. Tying a rope to the side of the arrow, he finished by pulling his Diamond Black ICE he fired and Arrow right into the side of a tree. Tugging on the rope to check its sturdiness, he scaled the rope and then jumped from the tree onto the other side; landing in front of a blond woman cloaked within the tree’s he aimed his bow at her not saying a word.

Now when you put the two posts together it should look like this:

“Glancing out over the huge wildflowers, he laid eyes on the huge waterfall that seemed to viscously pound the riverbed with a relentless supply of water. Most of his other targets had been taken down within the cages of the concrete jungle, being in an actual jungle for a change was a bit soothing.

YAY we constructed an rpg post, one that only has 347 words in it, I usually make mine between 500- and 1,000, unless I’m facing Nova, then the sky is the limit. However I think a good 500 word post is a good number, it allows you to get all the details of a fight. Back in the day it was nothing for me to put up a 3,000 word post in like every rpg, then I realized no one was reading so, I stopped. Making a good story is what counts, I doubt you can make a good story with fewer than 500 words in an rpg, and if you give me a 10,000 word post I’m simply not reading it, use your best judgment. Also not every Rpger uses Dialogue, even if they don’t that doesn’t mean you can’t, my character Sha talks to herself A LOT that’s a form of Dialogue. Ok Now Sha’s response. (Starting from where she spots Gerald).

Before she had time to react, he was in her face pointing what looked like a high powered bow in Sha’s face. Careful not to make the slightest move, she needed to choose her next action carefully; one move could be the end of her newly resurrected life. “I’m going to put my hands up”, she said at the archer who to this point had still not said anything. When her hands were both placed in the air she quickly flew up, escaping the close range threat and landing not too far from him; she wanted to return to earth under the radar, but she could only guess her resurrection wasn’t too subtle. When her feet touched the ground, she had taken the offensive, kicking her foot through the earth causing a huge tremor that she hoped would knock him off balance.

And Cut, since Gerald didn’t end with an attack, which means more or less that Sha had to do a first attack, so I did. Now take a look at the word I have bolded, it is the most important word out of the whole paragraph. It’s an implied expression, which means it may or may not happen. Giving Gerald the option to take the hit or not take the hit, you must give the option for your opponent to take or dodge the hit. That’s called a God Mod! Ooooooooooooooooh scary. Automatically hitting your opponent is a Auto-Hit ooooooooooooh scarier!

All together Sha’s response looks like this.

The forest had went on idle, there was no sound; other than that of the mighty waterfall glancing around the forest Haven the Ninjan queen tried to zero in on what the disturbance   might be but, the mist coming from the waterfall corrupted her keen eyesight. Moving through the forest, she could feel her anger growing, someone was watching her.

That pretty much sums it up, if you have questions then ask! ^_^

Creating a Team/Recruiting Members

When creating a team, you really want to go for something that hasn’t really been done, (Except for me I created the Vine Titans West because I couldn’t get that damn song

 Teams AWWW
 Teams AWWW

out of my head) Or something with a twist. After a while a team’s seem to be alike, and eventually they die with the exception OF, ICE, and The Wolfpack and WAL. Trying something with an edge may keep your team around for a while.

Don’t be scared to enlist rookies, you can have them on your roster and work with them, until they are ready for major rpg play.Renagade Lantern took Feral Nova under his wing look how big she is now. Mighty Magneto allowed me to be a VV before I had the requirements look at me now. Rookies with talent could be a good thing, they just need direction.  I think it’s important for everyone to have a Canon Team, which is the team of experience rpger’s that will represent you in Vine wide rpg’s, let’s face it everyone can’t do it.

Take my Vine Titans for example, My Canon Team would be.

Solar Orchid

Inertia

Sozuko

Myself

Bombard

And Maybe Ebony Sparrow (IF she ever looked at her pm’s lol)

Lifepulse

The others aren’t really active or don’t really have the story rpg format down pact so they would be my battlers and Team Rpg people.

Now you really want to enlist people who will be there when you need them, people who are on the vine for one month and then leave and come back, that’s not going to work. Also there seems to be people with a weird fetish for joining the same team under another account (Idk why) but be on the lookout for that too! It’s not a big deal, but then again it is.

Advance Bio’s

Do you remember in the rp where Sha referenced “Judgement day” that was a reference to a rpg that happened to the Vine, having a bio that deals with KEY vine events are good because you can tie your bio in with other characters, make new stories and …uh stuff! ^_^
