Bettina Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 -the scientist should have a sexy daughter that is being held by the bad guys and has to rescued by our protagonist Geez....it didn't take me long to get caught! How about I am important, because I carry a secret given to me by my father.
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 ... like the "launch the weapon code" which'd be why the bad guys kidnapped you and why we want ya back... and of course you wouldnt talk (or give em the codes) which makes you a hero!
Tesseract Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Geez....it didn't take me long to get caught! How about I am important' date=' because I carry a secret given to me by my father.[/quote'] Who said you were the sexy one...
5614 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Who said you were the sexy one... the pic [edit] damn, got done by one of those rhetorical questions again didnt i
MolecularMan14 Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 [edit] damn, got done by one of those rhetorical questions again didnt i hate it when that happens
Bettina Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Ok....thats no good because I dont take torture very well. So....borrowing from the DaVinchi code which my friend and I have been secretly reading, I carry the secret given to me from my father when I was young. The enemy knows this. But, I must be brought to a painting somewhere. Then, when I see it, I will instantly know what the code is. That way, they have to keep me unharmed. Bettina
J'Dona Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 It sounds like a sort of Austin Powers/No One Lives Forever type of thing would be good, but replacing the 60's references with science ones or some such. Lots of secret agents and ninjas and scientists, and aliens if possible! Aside from that though, and you'll excuse me if I go into writer mode here and offer some constructive (or perhaps destructive) criticism... but I don't think there should BE a plot. There should just be an initial situation (evil takeover plan, alien invasion, world war, etc.) and a set of characters who could do something important in it. Laying down the plot now will cause problems later when we inevitably find better, more natural ways for the story's course to develop, as plot tends to restrict characters and make them do silly things, given their personality and psychology, and rarely all fits together with one sitting's consideration. I mean, we all know that Sayo wouldn't do what every other evil genius does and feed the captured YT dinner, spilling his plans in the process, before putting him into the shark (or scorpion) pit, thus giving him a chance to escape; he's going to go straight for the brain probes. The only problem with that somewhat more realistic event is that the main character dies and the story ends. We also shouldn't push to have a new chapter out every night, as that puts a lot of pressure on the person who writes it and would probably make the writing itself of poorer quality. One chapter a week is a bit more realistic (I'm assuming about a 1000 words, mind you), and gives time to revise the chapter and check it for consistancy with the previous ones.
The Nacho Posted January 15, 2005 Posted January 15, 2005 Is it too late for me to get a part...? Name: Unknown (Everyone calls me Nacho) Occupation: Explosives guy Age: Unknown (Around 15 or 20) Looking like: med. size with blonde hair and brown eyes Gender: Male Stuff: I like to blow stuff up. I also like cheese. Humor is good for me, too. Side: Evil or good, I don't really care. (Switching sides/both sides?) I hope you can still add me in...
Bettina Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Hmmm....... I don't know Sayo very well, but he hasn't been around here..........Plotting something me thinks........ Who do you want to be rescued by? Someone cute
Tesseract Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Someone cute Too bad I already have a part...
ecoli Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 A character description--5'6", I have long, brown hair and brown eyes. (picture or this one I like science (obviously) sci-fi/fantasy, D&D, roleplaying, music... My name is Zach, or Zachary, if you prefer. Gender, male Personality - I am a scientist who sometimes forget whether he living in this world of a fantasy world. I occasionally think I am in another world. A sort of Walter Mitty. Thanks for doing this...if you need any help writing don't hesitate to ask.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 16, 2005 Author Posted January 16, 2005 Okay... I'll be sending out the plot outlines to contributors in a minute. Next I have to work on a characters list. I don't think I'll need any more characters, but I will be asking the audience for other ideas.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 16, 2005 Author Posted January 16, 2005 Characters I've Picked: Sayonara³: Protagonist and scientist. Cap'n Refsmmat: Another protagonist. Demosthenes: Cap'n's sidekick. Big and beefy. 5614: Expert help/scientist. YT2095: Mad scientist type person, protagonist. dave: YT's sidekick, mathematician. MolecularMan14: 14 year old ballistics dude. German, strong, and makes loads of jokes. Sharpshooter. Jakiri: Physicist. ecoli: Zach. A scientist who sometimes forgets whether he living in this world of a fantasy world. Occasionally thinks he is in another world. A sort of Walter Mitty. Bettina: Assassin. Tesseract: Background character who saves a good guy's life, then turns evil. Zarkov, Adam, and ExtraSense: Stupid protagonists. Pinch Paxton: Evil (not so smart) genius. Lance: Evil goon/zombie. Hit man. microx: Called Nacho. Explosives expert. 15-20 yrs old. Likes cheese, blowing things up.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 16, 2005 Author Posted January 16, 2005 Anybody want to be in the equivelant of Q division in the Bond movies? You know, making gadgets and gizmos and giving them to the good guys (or the bad guys!).
Tesseract Posted January 16, 2005 Posted January 16, 2005 Why are there 10 protagonists and 3 evil guys?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 16, 2005 Author Posted January 16, 2005 Six. Pinch Paxton, Lance, and microx are also evil. I can move some of the people to other roles as well. I'll be taking suggestions.
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted January 16, 2005 Author Posted January 16, 2005 Hahahaha... sure. Thing is, it's chaos in terms of getting this story started. Everyone wants a role. I'll reorganize the character list and everything and then modify it to what ecoli, Tesseract, and ed84c say.
