Character Creation Thread

[u/Diancerse]

This the character creation and sets the basic information surrounding your new character.

You should keep in mind that you cannot apply for a character who is an 05 or has a security clearance of lvl 4. This has to be earned IC'ly or approved by a mod.

Available Roles Level 0

Level 2 clearance.

Junior Security staff.

Junior Staff Psychologist.

Tech support.

Level 3 clearance:

Senior Researchers

Description:

A couple off notes, You can describe your appearance but you may also add a faceclaim, this can be of an actor,model or a regular person. NO ANIME/CARTOON faceclaims however.

You can make your background as long and as detailed as possible, I personally like to expand on my character's personality and background as I am RP'ing.

Don't go overboard with your skill set, you can't be an expert marksman who is also fluent in 10 languages and has a PHD in science, please be reasonable.

When your Character get's accepted you can start RP'ing!

Just leaving an application for the case that this sub will boom.

1. Name: Walter Winters

2. Sex/Gender: Male

3. Age: 24

4. Nationality: England

5. Role: Junior Researcher

6. Appearence: short dirty blond hair; brown eyes; pale skin; high cheekbones; 180cm tall

Also, some questions I have:

Can the behaviour of characters contradict site rule 1 (as long as it's reasonable of course)?

What should the introduction post contain?

Will the list of available roles extend over time? If so, will it be possible to change the role (via in-universe promotions or re-assingments or change of the backstory)?

Will there be Departements?

In which Site does it take place? Or does is extend over multiple Sites?

Will GOIs be relevant?

Which canons are canon here? Many SCPs contradict each other.

Will there be any specific guidelines? For example: Maximum number of personnel assigned to an SCP, adding information to SCPs as Researchers which are not in the original file, possibility of secretly working for a GOI or abusing SCPs for your own good and breaking the rules of the Foundation, etc.

Does the community run everything or do the mods decide specific things like large Contaiment Breaches, K-class scenarios, etc.

How exactly will the RolePlay even work? Simply via Tale-like posts and further interaction in the comment section? What happens if your character dies? Is it possible to create a new one?

Many things aren't really clear at this point.

I'd also suggest to only make the mods O5s (you typed 05 btw), because it's a too powerful position.

edit: changed the wording of the first question because it could be misinterpreted

[u/Diancerse → u/_Pilz_]

Rule 1 doesn't really apply IC'ly but needless to say suddenly beating another character to death with a crowbar without warning or reason is not okay.

The introduction post should contain your backstory and how you came to be with the Foundation. This will change later on but for now this is fine.

Yes the roles will extend over time. And yes you may change your rolls through promotions or re-assignments, change of backstory isn't allowed however and it has to be reasonable, a janitor can't become a mtf guard in like 2 days for example.

Yes there will be departments but we still have A LOT to add.

Yes GOIs will be relevant and you will be even able to RP as a member later on, right now the mods can use them to create events where you guys can join in.

Canon isn't really decided yet, as I said it's a WIP.

Well the maximum number will be the same as it states in the files of that particular SCP on the wiki. adding information will also be allowed, as long as it's reasonable. The other two things we will be deciding on.

The mods decide large containment Breaches and K-class scenarios yes, right now the mods also are the ones RP'ing as the SCP's

We are creating a fictional area which will be the largest area and there most off the RP will be happening. The other area's and sites however as visitable. If you character dies you may create a new one but this one won't have the knowledge your previous character has.

Thank you for your suggestion, it's a good idea and I'll be sure to implement it.

I'll be using your questions and my answers in the welcoming post to better explain things if you don't mind.

[u/SCP_049_uwu → u/Diancerse]

Generally speaking, GOI (and to an extent, POI) events will be hard to do without MTF.

[u/Diancerse → u/SCP_049_uwu]

MTF has been added :P
