So I thought to myself, "People don't seem to run many roleplay trials." A lot of the hesitance seems to stem from a lack of reason to actually be at the trials in-character and present as a roleplayer. So, I think I've come up with a fun little way to circumvent that issue: recurring Roleplay Trials called Scenarios.
The nutshell version is thus: A single scenario is a bi-monthly (or every 2-3 weeks) triple trial run consisting of a BAF run, a Lambda run, and a Keyes run. Here's the punchline: Everything's done in-character, but you are presented a namesake 'scenario' to help you react in an in-character manner. Each week will be a new scenario, some returning to old concepts, some are brand-new to test your character in new and different ways.
Now, without further adue, MOAR WALLS OF TEXT!

Section A: Scheduling & Scenario Information
The idea behind each scenario is that these are bi-monthly events where your character has been given some sort of notice that something big is happening; the reason WHY you arrived is a bit loose to be more open to various concepts, and the scenarios will be "pseudo-game mastered" along the way to make the trials more interactive and more fun.
*(To deal with constraints such as time limits in certain trials, it is asked that you be prepared to "write on the go," so as to not hold up the trial.)
*(This will require a fair bit of imagination! See below.)
*(This is going off the assumption that these are pretty desparate situations, so heroes and villains are going to have to work together to find means to an end.)
Here is a schedule of scenarios and a synopsis of each of the current planned scenarios so far: SCENARIO 1: Assault on Praetoria
There's a first time for everything, and the first BAF, Lambda and Keyes trials will be done in-character, with exceptions as to where it wouldn't make any semblance of sense. It will pretty much be run "as-is", but will only be ran this way on occasion so as to not raise brows.
SCENARIO 2: A Bleak Feature... Film?
The second scenario seems to be an obscure situation: it's been reported that a deranged villain has gotten hold of a cursed film studio where he is in ultimate control. Heroes, villains, and civilians alike have disappeared into his mad playground, forced to play the roles of his 'science fiction trilogy'. Your mission: Break the curse on the studio (BAF) to access the studio itself (Lambda) and fight your way into the madman's lair (Keyes)!
SCENARIO 3: Future Passed
You've been sent to an alternate Earth where the world is on its last legs and the people have planned a massive invasion force. Their target, however, is not our Earth, but our universe; the homeworld of a benevolent and pacifistic race of aliens whose planet is rich with oxygen and other resources humans need to survive is what they're after. They've set up a giant training facility for their forces (BAF), a giant weapons depot (Lambda) and the power station (Keyes) that supplies energy to their weapons and craft they plan to reach the depths of space with. It's up to you to find a means to resolve this crisis.
Section B: Signups & Roster Information
All I ask out of people that want to show up is to give a little "heya!" here showing interest. It shouldn't be too difficult to get a full team of roleplayers going. Other than that, there is no elitism here. If you're interested in roleplaying, you are welcome to the event, regardless of skill level/experience/time spent as a roleplayer. That's... basically the only rule.
We're eyeing a window of between 8-9PMEST this Friday, depending on if we can get a full League of roleplayers going on in that time frame.
I'll update this here thread about 20-30 minutes before each event to let you know what warzone we'll be meeting in. Remember: you can always join the -in-game channel "RP Virtue" to stay up-to-date, as I'll be posting head-up notices there, as well.
