Posted July 20, 2014 Heya peeps. This will have to be a bit of a group effort, I'm afraid. I... haven't actually ever run an RP before. There will be lots of discussion. |D We already did a World Meeting in the first thread - shall we start differently this time? It may be a bit boring to RP the same sort of thing over again. Dx I was thinking that we sort out the alliances before we start. But we really need a USA and a Russia, most of all. Could you start PMing people who might be interested?

Posted July 20, 2014 Can you reserve Germany and America for me? I'm going to be out of town for a week and don't currently have time to make sheets. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 20, 2014 Yup, that should be fine! Glad to have you on board, shad. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks so much! I'd love to have the sheets up sooner but I'm packing for Band Camp... Share this post Link to post
Posted July 20, 2014 It's okay. We need to start planning alliances before getting into things anyway. It might be easier to switch the alliances to two instead of 3. I think that with a Russia, we'll have a good spread of superpowers to start alliances. Denmark will probably follow Germany if he becomes aggressive - due to him being her only neighbour, and her needing the protection. France will definitely be consulting England on matters of alliances. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 Well, uh, like Shadow, I'm going to be out of town for a week and won't be able to post or make sheets. (I'm lucky as it is to even make this message.) Would you mind if I reserve Russia? I'll make a character sheet as soon as I can. If it's too much to ask, I understand. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 I'm still gonna play Portugal and China, plus Poland and Macau if there's space hehe Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) No problemo. Reserving now. ^^ Edited July 21, 2014 by Chicogal Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Hey, can I join? I want to reserve Hong Kong. Last time I went to Hong Kong for WSC... Well, let's just say the Hong Kong people made a big impression on us main landers... Oh, and can I have South Korea, too? Edited July 21, 2014 by SoiledLove Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 Definitely! I'm very glad to see so many people taking an interest. It's awesome! Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Not yet finished! I'm posting these here so that my stupid iPad doesn't delete them again when I go to other websites for inspiration. Now that I think of it, I want Canada, too. Urg... I suck at Chinese names... Username: SoiledLove Country Name: Hong Kong Human Name: Xiao Tian Feng Age: 22 Gender: Male Birthday: August 29, 1842 Appearance: Hong Kong is average height, about 5"10, and has a rather slender build. He has long, dark brown hair that goes a bit past his shoulders. He usually ties his hair in a loose ponytail. He has dark brown eyes and always wears a rather deadpan expression. He actually looks exceedingly alike to China despite their differences in gender and is sometimes mistaken to be female. Really, the major difference between him and China is the fact that a part of his fringe sweeps over his face, covering his right eye. He's known to wear Browns and blacks, mainly. Personality: Xiao Tian is known for being stoic and wearing a deadpan expression. He's socially awkward and, when talked to, doesn't answer unless being directly asked a question. He rarely initiates a conversation and usually just listens and observes. This leads to those around him feeling awkward or uneasy. When he does speak, he talks in a monotone voice and is usually very blunt and truthful. He is often unsure of if his words are offensive so he tags a "no offense" onto his sentences when he feels he might be a bit too blunt. However, this doesn't mean that he's emotionless. In fact, Hong Kong has a rather short temper and is easily stressed. When this happens, his answers to questions become clipped and curt and he loses the signature "no offense". Hong Kong also holds grudges easily and has one against China for the Milk Powder incidents and other things. He looks down on the other Asian countries, actually, and is rather prideful of being who he is. He prefers to express himself through actions more than facial expressions, but never to the point of being obvious. He's very logical and analytical as well as objective. Of course, he does everything with a deadpan expression. Weaknesses: -Not a country, so not as strong as one -He's very blunt and overly truthful at times, often unsure of if he's being hurtful and he has a hard time expressing himself. Socially awkward -He holds grudges and refuses to let go of them sometimes -He's prideful and looks down on some of the other Asian countries, especially China (although that's more because he has a grudge against China...) Strengths: -Strong economy -Even though he looks down on some countries, he isn't arrogant and is very logical, never letting his emotions blind his logic Likes: Cantonese, wealth, brownies, coffee, tea, knowledge Dislikes: 'Main landers' attitude, England's food, every Chinese dialect except his, idiots Other: Although he holds a grudge against China, it's a grudge from long, long ago, and he actually respects China a lot. "No offense..." Username: SoiledLove Country Name: South Korea Human Name: Min Ki Suh Age: 23 Gender: Male Birthday: August 15, 1945 Appearance: Minki is one of the shorter and cuter male nations. He's only 5"6 tall and he looks rather thin despite all the junk food and snacks he consumes on a daily basis. He has short, straight black hair that just sweeps his shoulders. It's very neat except for this one stray bang that rests on the right side of his nose. He has dark eyes and, well, cute-ish Korean facial features. He is often seen with a pair of blue and white headphones and a smartphone of some sort. He wears a mix of modern and traditional clothing. For a top, South Korea wears a blue and white Jeogori, but he wears a pair of rather casual jeans with it. He only wears the full Hanbok in his own country. Personality: Minki is a very optimistic nation, usually seen smiling or laughing. He enjoys having fun and playing around and is a rather childish nation. His favorite games are tag (in which you chase after people, get things throw at you in an attempt to slow you down, throw things at others in an attempt to slow them down and tackle the person you're trying to catch in order to tag them), and play fighting. He's loud, boisterous and acts somewhat like America. He's usually seen with food and an iPod or iPhone, either playing games or listening to music. He hates work and rules and things like that, however, he does obey Korean traditions and respects the elderly and Confucian teachings. He's stubborn and prideful, though, always wanting to do things his way and he's also a little reckless. Minki highly enjoys proving that he's right and what sounds like mindless rambling is often an educated guess or observation, but the other nations don't take him seriously when he rambles. Luckily, that is good for South Korean which means he can go ahead and insult them, subtly, of course, and then feel gleeful that no one noticed him insulting them. Although, he acts like a game and food obsessed idiot, he's actually a genius underneath that. He's great with technology and maths, but he loathes studying in general. He rarely takes things seriously and dislikes preparing for things. He's a little overconfident and believes he will always come out on top, often complimenting himself. Minji rarely loses his temper though, unless North Korea provokes him. But, he is impatient and will pout or sulk when he has to wait for something or has someone wait for him. He hates long lines (even the ones drawn on paper) because they remind him of the day it became hard to buy Korean Fried chicken in China due to a popular Korean drama having fried chicken in it. Weaknesses: -Relatively small in size -He's rather stubborn and prideful, often times refusing to accept the ideas of other countries/people, preferring to do it his way -He's childish, at times, and prefers play over work, not taking things seriously. Also, he likes blowing things out of proportion and, occasionally, using something very 'big' to solve a small issue Strengths: -The best at ICT and innovation -High HDI Likes: Fried chicken, kimchi, play fighting, dancing/singing, k-pop, winning, pranks, being correct, gaming, technology! Dislikes: Waiting, having people wait for him, sore losers, people who are too strict or uptight, classic music, North Korea, lines Other: "Of course, I'm right!" Or something like that. The adjective can range from 'awesome' to 'brilliant' to correct Username: SL Country Name: Canada Human Name: Angela Lawrence Age: 18 Gender: Female Birthday: July 1, 1867 Appearance: Angela is a pale petit girl, standing at about 5"2. She has strawberry blonde hair which is in a bob-cut. Her hair curls at the tips and is rather messy. Her eyes are sky blue in color, framed by rather long lashes. She usually wears a pair of red glasses and a small, red bow in her hair for accessories. Angela looks rather cute and innocent, if a bit nerdish, with a small nose and large eyes. However, due to her stature, posture and glasses, she's easily overlooked. Her hands and feet are both small and she would look child-like if not for the fact that her facial structure makes her look mature. Angela dresses modestly, usually going for a blouse and a pink hoodie, along with a short-ish skirt that ends at her knees. Her looks are sort of based on this Personality: If you were to use a single word to describe Angela, it would be meek. Easily overlooked and often times going unnoticed, Angela appears to be a shy person who usually keeps to herself. She's also often mistaken for America or being part of America. She let's go of most things with ease and is quiet most of the time. Preferring to listen rather than talk, many would think of Angela as someone who honestly doesn't care if she's noticed or not, forgives and forgets, and is too shy to be noticed. However, none of that is true. In fact, Angela is rather easily irritated ave angered. When she does speak up, she will try her best to not lose her temper, attempting to kindly insert her opinion. Unfortunately for her and others, she usually goes ignored and not listened to. Being ignored or interrupted while speaking is one of the few things that Angela hates with a passion, the others being mistaken for America or part of America, and things that hurt her country pride. When she loses her temper, she takes out her megaphone and pretty much screams into it, which gets people's attention, and also becomes very, very assertive. She becomes somewhat violent, throwing things at people when they try to interrupt the enraged!Angela. She also has a lot of pride for her country, not to the point of boasting, but to the point where he will defend her country with a vigor like none other when insulted. She appears very calm when enraged, except when she's shouting, and will state her opinion clearly and loudly before going back to being her usual quiet self without much embarrassment or shame for losing her temper. In fact, she rather enjoys surprising people and being the center of attention. Weaknesses: -Often overlooked and hard to notice -She gets irritated and loses her temper rather easily when people do things she hates, becoming violent or exceptionally loud at times when that happens. She's also very impatient -She's unapologetic when losing her temper, but allows people to walk all over her otherwise Strengths: -Often overlooked and hard to notice, thus being great at infiltration -Seen as generally unbiased/likable. It makes it easier for Canada to gain diplomatic relations with other countries Likes: Her megaphone, animals, her country, hockey, attention from people, being noticed, people who listen to her, America (despite hating being mistaken as (part of) America), Maple trees and leaves and syrup, pancakes, France, England Dislikes: Being overlooked, being mistaken for America or part of America, bullies, Denmark when they argue over Greenland, rudeness, being interrupted, insults towards her and her country Other: "LISTEN TO ME, IDIOTS!" (What? My Canadian friends are all somewhat violent girls when they lose their temper. My eardrums nearly burst once when they were 'defending their country') Edited July 22, 2014 by SoiledLove Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 I think I'm done. Not sure if it's good enough though... Is there any part I should edit? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 All is perfect, I believe. Accepted! Okay, everyone who isn't away for a week has their sheets in. I'll let the others know, and then we can start discussing ideas for a beginning. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 If we aren't going to start with a world meeting, we should probably try to do something that will group countries together so some aren't starting off all by themselves or have some kind of pre-determined get togethers. Starting off can sometimes be awkward if people are left dangling on their own. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Username: The Opium Lady Country Name: Greece Human Name: Constantine Papidakas Age: 22 Gender: Male (Transgender) Birthday: 1 January 1822 Appearance: Greece keeps his hair cut to a short length as to distract from his more feminine traits. He stands around 5' 7" in height and has a very athletic build, with strong muscles and a lean body. He keeps himself wrapped up in a tan long coat and a simple off white wool cap. Personality: Greece is very paranoid about judgement. He has been notorious as a voracious spender and his tendency to socially withdraw from all contact. As of now, Greece's mood swings seem to have settled down, and he's becoming more willing to socialise. Greece also wants to make more contact with his cousins in Italy. Weaknesses: Fear of Judgement, Spending Problems, Violent Streak Strengths: Comes From a well respected, influential family Likes: Cheese, Goats, Mountains, the Sea, her History Dislikes: Turkey, Being called Female, dangerous work. Other: The current Greece is actually the third nation to bear the title. Before that, two women took the name of Greece. They were Hellas and Byzantium. This Greece feels a bit intimidated to live up to his ancestors' legacies. Catchphrase: "Damn you all!" Edited July 22, 2014 by The Opium Lady Share this post Link to post
Posted July 21, 2014 How about a party? I really have no other idea as to how to get countries grouped together that isn't a meeting or a warzone. Unless they're playing an international game of Twister or something. Wait, that sounds more like a sleepover now... I'll get back on this after I take something for my headache.

Posted July 22, 2014 A party sounds great! Wait, are we talking about one of those high class diplomatic get togethers or just a normal, crazy, alcohol-drinking party at a bar? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Actually, a party sounds great. I guess the event would depend on who is hosting it. I won't volunteer for this one; I started last time. By the way, I've appointed pudding as my co-runner/moderator/second-in-command/potato. Opium, you just need the pass phrase - then you're good to go!

Personality: Japan is a shy, quiet, hard-working figure. He's often only watching others, wanting to learn more about them but not being too talkative.

Posted July 22, 2014 Oh, South Korea should host this one, but... Everyone would get drunk, probably... In Korea, it's disrespectful to refuse a drink, so everyone pours drinks for other people and everyone gets drunk... Share this post Link to post
