The Bethesda Forums Soap Opera

Post » Sun Jun 26, 2011 4:47 am

I did this on RDN Forums and it worked out, so if there are any roleplayers hiding in the Bethesda shadows, get your arses over here and join in.

The Thing

This is an on-forum soap opera, so we make our own characters and post (in moderation) in episodes, a few posts from each member, depending on how many join, revolving around your own storylines directed by me and anyone who wants to be a writer. Me and the writers don't take control of your storylines, just shape them and review so people don't get too out of hand. This will be based in a street called Bethesda Street, and you must have your house address and stuff saying things, we'll have typical soap opera landmarks, like a...Fallout Pub and Elder Scrolls Cafe. However this is a soap, so it's real life based, just a bit exxatureted, meaning you can't just shoot people or fly or have flying cars. It will be based real time and written in first person present. Also, KEEP IT DRAMATIC AND GOOD!

Rules

No member to member instant killing.
Please have emotions toward people, like in one post being best friends with someone and the next enemys.
Friendship groups, marriage, enemies are allowed.
This is based in England, in an anonymous town in a street.
Keep all posts connected to others, and remember storyline stages.
If you're posting and adding dialouge which is from another members character, then they will have to go with it, so you'll have to check every post.

Now, if you want to join, you'll need a CP (Character Profile)

Just copy this:

Age:

Relationship Status:

Occupation: Works at the Fallout Pub as a barman.

The dad was mixed up in some bad business and was killed by a mafia in a mob war. Then the family took everything and flew off to England, where they took up residence in Bethesda St. Gary befriended two male friends and girls, and was determined to lead a normal life unlike his mum. Still living with family, but saving up for a flat across the road.
