Mercenary Scrapper for Hire (semi-RP)

Hi, ho. Red the werewolf here with another post which doesn't exactly fit somewhere else.

Another player on Pinnacle gave me this idea. My scrapper, Miss Cornish, could hire herself out as a mercenary for characters or groups level 30 or below. Her origin story has a military background and she's disgruntled with official military structures. She's a cat girl combat cyborg who lost an arm in a military exercise.

Note, that while I don't role-play in MMOs, I do have ideas how my characters respond to certain situations, as I suggested in my previous post, the one about Mr. Bruise. I felt this post was sufficiently out of character that it wouldn't go on in the role-play board.

What the hell.....

@Dark Omega: I've read about Virtue and some of the role-playing that goes on there. I'm reluctant to do more than check it out.

I did get a compliment on Miss Cornish's bio within the past month.

I did skim the role-playing forum and I did not have the confidence to post something there. I've been doing paper-and-pencil roleplaying for some time. I have only tried a little MMO role-playing since 2007. CoH has encouraged me to start with a bare bones idea, like "'wolf martial artist" or "cat-like scrapper" and organically grow the character concept into something like comic book fiction.

Hey Red, well it seems like you wanna get your feet wet in the RP thing, so you might be well served trying it on the RP section, you might surprise yourself. I'd say browse the Pinnacle supergroups or global channels section, might be somewhere to get that semi-RP fix.

Also.. I heard about a small RP group on Pinn recently, but danged if I can't find a post on the boards atm.

Ah well, tally ho.

check pocket d on tuesdday nights....i see alot of rp'ers in there on my way to arena terminals

@KemiLi: Thanks. I have begun skimming the RP section to get a feel for how to do to it in CoH. It's a bit different than a pencil and paper game. I have read about how to role-play this way, in general, things not to do like "god modding".

My search-fu is weak, still I'll give it a shot looking in Pinnacle supergroups.

@Dark Omega: Thank you for the tip. I'll make a note of it and stop in Pocket D on a Tuesday night.

Plz go to Virtue...they're waaaaaaaaaaaaay more catgirl friendly.

Wait, what am I saying? I LOVE CATGIRLS! But yes, ultimately, I think that's a really cool idea.

Aurora Girl, thank you. I plan to go to Virtue eventually, but I'm not sure I want to have "stock" catgirl there.

I have seen at least three other catgirls in Went's on Pinn, so I know there are more out there.

I haven't figured out how to make the idea work so it'd be acceptable to other role-players, which I have learned is an important part of MMO role-play. I'd guess that I'd charge a nominal Inf fee that they could afford for their level. A favor for a favor would be free, of course.
