I agree with you. None of my characters could be defined as black and white, and in actuality I'm seeing a rise of people that no longer follow this trend. Breaking out of the mold of "white knight" versus "bad guy" is an improvement I've been seeing as I played around on PlaneShift. It's more fun to flirt with the line between the two.

to help people who may want to participate in this RP.

What I would like to do is try something a little different with this RP. Accept it as a challenge. Take this theme of "becoming the monster" and apply it to your character. Have your character be pushed over the edge, and have them do something that goes against their moral code. If you play an 'evil' character, do the opposite of 'become the monster' and do something nice, a 'pet the dog' moment. Or, you can be like Icerra and try to push someone else over the edge. Challenge yourself. Develop your character.

Just a fun little challenge, that is all. If you feel you've succeeded, then post the RP here.

If you would like to participate in this challenge and are looking for another player to coordinate with, post here also.

Good luck! Have Fun! and Happy RP!
all blessings to the assembled devotees.

*Evirea smiles gleefully and puts on her thinking helmet. "How about pulling someone back from over the edge? I've got the perfect candidate in mind..."

I do like the idea of this challenge. Actually on the side of corruption I've quite enjoyed what Icerra has been doing to Mariana. This is hardly the first encounter they've had together; it's been an interesting tug-o-war from both sides, and it seems at the moment the scale tips towards that devious little kore. I'm eager to see how it develops further along, and what plotting and scheming will occur on both sides. I know that Rigwyn has mentioned at least corruption roleplay as intriguing. Though I always like a good all out brawl, it's also fun to duel with words, as it were, and try to argue one's side against an opposing force. Trying to impose the views of your charater (whether good, bad, or some nebulous place in between,) almost always makes for an intriguing encounter.

RPing the delusions that came with the plague allowed me to make a small foray for Timil into this kind of territory, at least in terms trying out an about-face for one aspect of his character. (The delusions manifested themselves in his personality as a kind of Enkiphobia).  :o

And in the Butcher Part 1 Finale RP the other night, Timil had to make some split-second decisions and do some things he would normally never dream of doing (such as tackling people and facilitating the true-death of a character).

That said, I don't think he has ever totally lost his moral compass... or at least, not for long.  :innocent:

Here are some songs that I had in my mind while writing a conflict-themed (non-PlaneShift) story. Might try to orchestrate an RP with ideas from that story...

He was Timil Tebow.

It's nice relaxing music, Mari. Join us...

relaxing? hardly. Intense? Epic? Sweeping? Moving? Impassioned? Chilling? yes.


I'm going :offtopic: from the forum theme to comment on the stuff quoted above...
Actually, the track reminds me of the 'music' that is present in Revenge of the Sith when Palpatine is at some kind of spectacle show with his entourage and Anakin shows up and learns about the Dark Side. I can hear the orchestra playing in the background, but something is sustaining all the tones (Hence the '9 beat stretch' in the name) so that it ends up a dissonant cacophony. Very atmospheric, but hard to listen to. I gave it 30 mins, and when I turned it off, my ears felt like they were coming up for air after almost drowning.  :P But thanks for sharing, nonetheless.

He was Timil Tebow.

LOL, yeah... especially if he would have knelt down and prayed when it was all over. (Which he might have, who knows?)

if I were you I'd stay far away from any music labeled under the 'drone' genre
