time_and_crack - Profile (original) (raw)

Welcome to the planet Ophara. This is an entirely unique planet. It is a fixed point in time. It is like the Prime Meridian of the Universe. All other planets' universal time zones are based on its distance from Ophara. For example, Earth's time zone, -5.326x1026, is commonly known as Sol Standard Time.

This is a perfect place to visit whether your excessive meddling and saving lives is getting too much or you just want to get rid of your ever-present spacejet-lag.

Ophara is

un

surprisingly like Earth in climate. It has sprawling post-modern-esque cities and beautiful pristine wildernesses

or just about anything to suit your RPing needs.

***

This interesting (completely made up) planet will be your starting point and most likely where you will spend most of your RPing time. However, everyone knows that the Doctor (all of them) likes to meddle and wander, Masters (all of them) like to wreak havoc, and companions (most of them) like to accidentally get left behind, so naturally not all your time will be spent on Ophara. As far as I'm concerned, you can make up whatever planets you need for plots, stick to just canon ones, or just never venture off Ophara. Whatever suits you best.

[Crack!Verse]

This is a crack universe...kind of. In the simplest terms, you can be cracky. There will probably be some serious plots, but there is also a chance to make the characters be completely silly. Characterization? Meh. I've always fancied Six as a neurotic furrie-fancier who has a slightly disturbing fascination with cats. Tegan Jovanka...possibly a closet dominatrix. The Brigadier? I bet he wears ladies knickers under his uniform. Whatever you want. Go wild with your character. Or not and have them be just as they were imagined. In short, just have fun.

[Rules]

Yes there are rules, even though rules tend to bog things down and often are disregarded after a while anyway. But for now, we'll go with these rules then change as we need to.

1. This is a Crack RPG - That means no getting on people's cases for characterization problems or who's pairing who with who or where Romana just put that Sonic Screwdriver. It's all fun. People will make their characters do crazy stupid things. That's what makes these sorts of RPs so fun.

2. Be RP-courteous - This means no god-moding, discuss plots that will affect others' characters with them, make efforts to post to people's threads-don't make others do all the work but DO NOT get on people's cases if they're not posting as often as you'd like...basically...be nice.

3. Activity - Post a thread or comment in someone elses thread at least once every two weeks. If I don't see any activity after two weeks and you haven't said to me or someone else, "I'm sorry, I'm going to be away the next couple weeks because I'm...doing something far more important than RPing with you strange people that I love." I'll email you and try to get a hold of you by IM and if I still don't get anything, I'll put your characters up for grabs.

4. Drama - Goes with RP-courtesy, really. If you have an issue with someone, take it up with them courteously. If you don't feel comfortable doing that, talk to me, and I'll take it up with the person tactfully and we'll work things out.

5. Character Limit - I've decided that your first character MUST be a repeat character who's been in several Doctor Who serials. After that, you may apply for ones that have only appeared once. Other than that, I've no restrictions on characters.

6. NPCs and OCs - 'Supporting Characters' will be decided on a case-by-case basis and will not be allowed as your first (and probably not your second or third) character.

7. Rating -

NC-17

! There will be sexual scenarios, no doubt and any posts that would be rated as "Mature" MUST be friends-locked. This game is het, slash, femslash, timelord/tardis, everything-friendly. So be warned. Also, sorry young 'uns. No one under 18 is allowed to play.

8. Bitching Elsewhere - Absolutely no posting about THIS community in those anonymous bitching communities. You know the ones I mean (if not, ask me and I'll explain). Feel free to post about other communities there, of course, but if you're found posting about this one, you'll be asked to leave. And let's face it, if you feel you HAVE to post about this one at one of those places, clearly you're not happy here and leaving would probably be best anyway.

[Applying]

1. Check the character list to see if your desired character is available.

2. Apply to this thread with your application using the format provided on the thread.

3. Wait to get approved (feel free to email or IM me if you feel I'm taking too long or that maybe I missed your application) then after approval you can join the community and start RPing. You can use a generic RP journal or a character specific one (I use one journal for all my RP characters and just change the icon).

[Roleplaying]

To see an example of how roleplaying will most likely go, click here. By the way, this is totally rated NC-17/M/HAPPYNAKEDMENTIEM because Ianto and Jack are perverts. Be warned.

[Posting]

Heading
Character: (Who you're posting as)

Third Person Entries: (in italics)
Example: The street was deserted as Brak stepped into it. He noticed that the rubber ducky dealer across the street was just packing up his wares. He had to take this chance; it might be his last for years. Approaching the man, he pulled a fiver out of his pocket and crumpled it in his fist. "You got duckies?" He asked in a low voice. "You got money?" The dealer returned. He was just about to pay the man when Jed showed up.

[Other Stuff]

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me through email or IM (all on my journal at elledwen). I don't bite and I totally like getting messages from people.
