More on the potential 1920s circus game! I figure that now I should give you more canon and information on the circus and what I have in my brain area.
See this post for additional information.
Right!
( History of this circus and how it functions. )
For the game to work at its opening, here is the list of cast members most immediately desirable and playable.
( Cast list again. )
Interested people means it's time to decide on a format. Here is what I have so far:
( Format of the game!!! )
If you still want in and want to brainstorm, here is your official (for now) application to reserve a spot. Just comment here with it. As I don't even know what to call the game yet, you're not in any rush to figure things out. If you want a spot reserved and have no ideas for the character yet, just let me know which spot you want and you can apply later.
If you want some inspiration, remember that some of these characters may have been second or more generation in the Brooks circus, or came from other circuses. Some might not know their birthdates ("freaks" especially). Some might not be able to read. Some might not yet speak a lot of English (Isabella included). Some might be nasty pieces of work. Some might not. Some might have a stage name. Some might not know their real name. You can play someone as young as four or as old as, well, old. If you want to put a character, such as members of a family or a best friend or an assistant, up for adoption, simply specify who they are and I'll stick them in the cast list and add who to contact for more information. There is no fantasy in the circus other than Isabella (for canonical reasons).
Again, anyone applying a character already in DL need not actually apply. We'll have NPC journals for audience members and non-circus people, so the only thing you need to worry about now are the one or two characters you wish to play.
It would behoove you to make a LiveJournal for your character(s) now so I know who they are when they join later.
When there is something to actually join.
Specifics will be organized later. These are basic applications. We'll establish how they came to the circus as well as relationships and acts and where they live and whatnot down the road. Not too far down the road, but down the road.
If a character needs an assistant or apprentice role filled (we need one of each for the illusionist), please don't hesitate to tell me what you'd like so I can post more information and get someone to play. Or con someone you know into applying for the role.
Gameplay will not begin for a while, so there's no need to rush. I'm not looking to create a really intense game. Just something creative that builds upon itself.
It would also be snazzy to pimp this around so we get plenty of people. Bring in your friends!
