With this MMO and every MMO Ive played I've always taken the quests and LORE in this regard.

LORE I think of as an acronym for Life of an Original Roleplaying Environment. It is basicly just the scenery, setting, and backdrop of the world in which your characters live. Only use this to help you figure out how your character fits into the world. A great quote from one of my favorite movies is "History is written by those who have hanged heroes". There are always two sides to every story, so IMO even "canon" is questionable. Use all canon and lore to give you "guidelines" not "rules" to making your character.

I havent come back to this thread in a long while. (Obviously). From it though I see I've sparked a great deal of discussion and possibly people meeting one another which is great.

The development of powers thing I dont necessarily attribute to the teenager roleplay X-men scene...though I did get a PM about that Westbrook Academy which seems pretty cool...although I didnt see anywhere on their website about possibly becoming a teacher there.

To further shed some light on what I mean by serious roleplay is my main character is human and has literally no powers at all. He is simply a scientist, and I wanted the chance to explore discovering super-powered people, and helping them understand, control, and evolve their powers.

I roleplay a geneticist, so I want to learn more about the science behind some powers, and when magic or other effects come into play. Maybe I can meet other like minded philosphers who are better versed on those areas of expertise to understand super-powers.

I guess I am looking for more humans, and maybe a mostly human oriented organisation with a few powerful beings for us to study/help grow in their story.

Mostly all of my alts I mainly use as NPCs to further along peoples RP or as contacts for roleplay missions, and that is the kind of RP I prefer I guess.

It seems I missed the Westbrook Semester signup, and thus I don't know if they even accept older toons who might want to be teachers. So if there any other RPers or groups out there please PM me.

I have been playing City of X off and on for several years, and Im looking for some like minded roleplayers who actually roleplay out the discovery and learning of their powers...and dont just spam showing off moves all the time.
I am really interested in the development of character personalities as they struggle with how they have changed and become what they are. Im not looking for roleplay involving know-it-alls....showoffs...or overt public displays of power.

I am also mainly looking for people who devote most of their time to the story of one character...and not altoholics. Altoholism seems to only divert creative energy equally between the mass amounts of characters in a player's character bank, and thus I find less substance in most characters I meet.

I am curious about wanting to start a project on Virtue. The basic idea is one of the hardest obstacles in running succesful Supergroups, Villaingroups that have big encompassing storyarcs is the fact that this game is built for alt-a-holics.
With Going Rogue now live though there is definitely a chance to pull off some amazing roleplay opportunities.
I am wondering if there is any interest in creating a huge guild in an OOC sense. This OOC guild will create several in-game guilds with their own backstory and themes. The guild itself if it houses say 50 something active members would mean that you could literally have 25 on 25 little hero vs villain events going on.
Im just thinking that if we were a group of like minded roleplayers who were looking for our own niche and world with actual archenemies specific for your character would be something truly special. Sure it might be your buddy playing the archenemy on one of his alts. I just think something like this could be really fun.

Im thinking on several different possible themes to get involved.

-Arcane and magical Enthusiasts
-Science and Techno-themed People
-Paramilitary Mercenary Forces
-PPD

I mean there are tons of options but these are just basic cookie cutter type themes that could be employed. Obviously the backstory for these different factions and organisations would be well fleshed out, and have their own amazing story.

I am mainly just looking for like minded individuals who are looking for a taste of some roleplay that DOESNT go on in Pocket D.
With Going Rogue we can now go back and forth between the different zones as vigilantes and rogues.

Ideas? Comments?

Curious how this will work with Epic Archetypes for Villain and Hero. When you reach level 50 will all 4 Epic AT be available? I havent reached 50 on any toons yet and Im wondering how all this takes into play. Also curious if Epic Archetypes will be allowed to switch sides as well. Would love to have a Kheld on red side.

Levelup will be replaced with DING!
This actually works out real well for me cause my GF is always sleeping and mad at me for having the sound on. Now I can at least enjoy the game. I might have to disable them when I want to take screenshots and stuff but other than that it looks cool.

Name: Project G.H.O.S.T.

Currently Recruiting: Yes

RP Level: Heavy RP. RP in Spatial and SG Chat Required! Team OOC-ok but discouraged.

PvP Level: Casual...for now.

Theme/Concept: Doctor Morro was the lead scientist on the G.H.O.S.T. Project. A top secret operation funded by Crey Industries to develop a Geneticly Hybridised Offensive Strike Team, or G.H.O.S.T. for short.

Viral Programming to increase combat effectiveness was the ultimate goal. Enhanced Reflexes. Less battle fatigue. Accelerated healing due to an enhanced immune system.

These are the baseline hopes for what Crey had hopes for G.H.O.S.T. to become. Many unfortunate mishaps occured during simple procedures, and there were cleanups to tend to.

Crey was getting impatient and the Doctor grew worried. He had poured his life into this researcha nd he became obsessed with producing satisfactory results.

Professor Cho Nagurai was his assistant and she had brought in someone new to assist during one of their final test subjects. They were really hoping this would work....mainly because this specimen was such a young child. His mind however was far advanced. Signs of Psychic abilities were already starting to occur in the boys life, and the Doctor thought that this could be the only explanation. The Human mind could not handle the evolution of its DNA code and the body would be at war with itself. This usually caused all of their experiments in the past to fail...quite gruesomely in some cases.

The Doctor began the same procedure as always and he watched, and waited. Things seemed stagnant for awhile and then the data started to stream across the viewscreens. The boy whimpered as his body ached in pain. The screens flickered with static,and the lights in the lab were turning off and on rapidly.

Finally with one big surge of energy the Doctor yelled out "Shut it down!" and Cho did just that. The room went dark and silent. The sounds of chaos were all that were heard from broken monitors, electric discharges from ruined wires, and steam gushing from pierced pressure valves.

The banging sounds were heard moments later as armed men burst into the dark room. Flashlights is all that could be seen and their cries were muffled by high-tech masks to protect them in case of a viral outbreak.

Veer Vulang walked into the lab. His suit finely pressed and he inched the brim of his glasses back up the beak of his nose. Glass shards crumbled as his shoes walked over them and he stopped hovering over the feeble old man. Doctor Raf Morro. Veer Vulang was in charge of this Operation and he thought of it to be a watse of company resources. His facial expression didnt show any light of change in the man's views.

"Doctor Morro" he started slowly. " You and your colleagues and all of this mess are to be washed away. It was a good try old man, but you just couldn't cut it". Raf Morro looked up in fear as the High-tech armored men approached him with guns in their hands. The long shaft of the rifle inched upward and the pilot flame of the flamethrower attachment burned into Raf's soul as he felt his life about to end.

Just then...he watched as the small flame danced a bit, as if a shrilling breeze were in this sealed room. Then the ember flickered again and seemed to retract into emptiness. It was odd as if all sound was stripped from the room. No more drips of water, shuffling of feet, not even a breath could be heard.

With a searing flash of crimson and hellfire the ember respawned to life and engulfed the thug in flames. The screams and confusion of the other guards started to sing out in harmony as the room itself became chaos.

Veer Vulang disappeared in all of the mayhem, and the Doctor looked around in confusion until his eyes met with a shimmer of movement in a dark corner. Darkness played about the room until another Grunt was scorched toward his doom alongside the charred remains of his fallen comrades. The light from these flames could be seen twice by the Doctor.

Once out of the corner of his eye from where the flames originated, and the second from where he was staring. The reflection of the cold empty orbs in the corner. His Final specimen, the boy....codename Psionic Screamer.

This was all his doing. Pyrokenesis! it had to be!
This was years ago, and now the Project has evolved. Psionic Screamer held the key to making Raf's dreams come true. DNA extracted fromt he frontal lobe of Psionic Screamer was fused with the GHOST virus and controlled at a time release self-sustaining level via microscopic nano-machines.

These tiny unseen robotic beauties kept the Screamer's DNA alive and "fed" Every new specimen would become linked now. An empathic link to one another.

Can you hear me now? Good.... No you did not need electronic signal for this little power. It seems that the virus had other mysteries too. In most cases it caused the host to evolve and mutate. New abilities were born in every new subject. There was plenty of research to discover now and plenty of experiments.

Now with some bit of power and control on his creation the Doctor had plans to take back what was rightfully his. He originally had hoped to get into Genetics to cure diseases and improve the human race and help us win the War againts those who would opress us such as the Rikti Invaders, but now the Doctor had new motives.

Crey...would....Pay.

Project G.H.O.S.T.
Heavy RP Villaingroup.
Doctor Raf Morro was the head of the Bio-chemical Engineering at Crey Industries and recently he helped acost his old colleague Professor Cho Nagurai from her cell at the Zig. Professor Cho Nagurai is one of the world's best Geneticists and together the duo have created a Viral Agent that can make Super soldiers. After Numerous subjects failed to metabolise the viral agent resulting in fatalities, the Professor volunteered to be the first specimen of their new child virus, but what she did not know is the measure of Doctor Morro's madness. It turns out the virus actually has an inhibtor compound in it that gives the Doctor complete control over his specimens. Orders will always be followed now. The Doctor now uses his specimens to acquire more hosts, but not everyone can survive viral inducement and it is said that the virus gives some unpredictable side effects. Who will be the next specimen for Project G.H.O.S.T. (Geneticly Hybridised Offensive Strike Team)

Could it be you?
