Character Background Story Idea

Alright, so I'm making my first run at RP, and I want to run an idea by the RP board to see if it's got enough ground to stand on. Time to test the suspension of disbelief and twist game mechanics into a story.

My absolute favorite character is a Tech origin Bot/FF I have on Champion. I've wanted to RP the character, but redside champion is a ghost town. I'm rerolling him on Virtue, and changing him to a Bot/Traps instead. I had thought about just starting fresh with the story I had come up with for him, but then had an idea...

When tech blends into science, madness ensues. The very powerful (high level) mastermind builds a device in his lab for dimensional and temporal alteration. Safety is tossed to the wayside as he attempts to change our world to meet his needs (who needs a testing phase?). Through unexplained science, something explodes, or other mishap, it doesn't work as intended. The villain blacks out, and when he awakes...

The world is not as he remembers (new server). He is standing outside the Zig, like he was long ago (tutorial). His robots no longer respond to his communicator, and no wonder, his lab does not exist anymore (SG base)! There are people here that he recognizes (contacts, arbiters), but many that he does not (other players).

"If I have to start over, so be it. I've done it once, I can do it again. I will rise to power, my Corporation will stand again. This time, I'll do it right (traps)."

So what do you think?

You made switching Servers actually work as a full event in your characters back-ground instead of using the standard 'whoopsie, had a mistake Ouroboros/Portal Crop. and here I am, same as always!'.

Heck, you even explained how practically ALL of the key Game factors changed/didn't change due to the dimensional explosion dealie.

I like it!


Global - @El D

Servers - Protector

Looks perfectly good to me. In fact, works quite well - you've even got a solid explanation for why you're back to level one - all your powers rely on tech devices that are now gone and you have to re-build your resources.

If I notice you in game I'll probably say hi; I've got at least a few characters that might be appropriate for some RP.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear that it doesn't sound ridiculous/stupid. I was worried that the dimension/time travel gimmick was being overused.

Feel free to look for me in game: Dechs Kaison on Virtue, or just @Dechs Kaison. I hit level 12 last night, and I've already begun "hiring" for the Kaison Corporation. (I got a lucky drop of a steadfast protection which sold for a pretty penny on the market. I can actually afford to pay new employees!)

Hey, that sounds like a brilliant back story to me!

makes (somewhat) perfect sense, is written well, and sums it all up pretty darn well. Good work!

Oh, and welcome to Virtue!
