EOI - Ozformers RPG

[Megatron]

Sounds like fun!
I've never tried rp-ing like this before but I've always wanted to
count me in!
(now to dig up my old text files of OCs)
also if any continuity is allowed does that mean I can reserve TFPrime Knockout?

Absolutely! Welcome to our humble RPG, and please feel free to ask any questions or ask for help if you need it, no matter how minor. Looking forward to meeting your OCs.

I'll reserve G1 Thundercracker and Skywarp.

Done! Thanks for joining up!


Just a few notes while I'm here:

Yes, any universe/continuity is allowed, even BW/BM if anyone wants. It'll be a bit of a central nexus universe, where characters from any and all timelines or continuities interact. The only exception is that there can only be one version of a particular character, so you can't have for example, TFPrime Knock Out and G1 Knock Out as well, in the same RPG. So there's no need to specify which universe your character is from, because that's up to you. You could even merge different versions of a character to create your own version of them, if you like.

We'll need a cool name for this RPG, so if anyone has any ideas please let me know. I suck at thinking up titles.

We will need some players who would like to have a go at handling Leader class characters (Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime, Scorponok, Overlord, Galvatron, etc.) because so far we only have one (Megatron). Leader class characters can essentially boss other characters around, formulate plans and implement strategies, and send teams off on various missions.

There will be an intro and basic storyline to start, however there is no set ending so players are free to exercise their creativity and help develop the story as we go along. This will pertain more to players with Leader class or higher ranking characters, who are able to introduce major plot changes (in collaboration with the GM).

I will try to come up with a story based upon everyone's character profiles, so that every character will have an important role to play and most importantly, something to do!

Ill take Galvy too then.

Galvatron is a Leader class and so you'll need to be confident in playing him because the way you handle him will have a direct impact on not just all the other players' RPG experience but will also help set the tone and pace of the RPG itself. Have you RPed in this style before?

Also if you do take him, he has no relation whatsoever to Megatron (past, present or future) and will be a separate individual entirely. That cool?

I can say that I haven't before played like this.
As long as he's crazy and awesome, I don't care who he's related to...

Ok. Let's see how you go. In the meantime, it might be a good idea to think about what specific goals or ambitions you want him to have in the RPG, so we can incorporate it into the story.

Thanks. I'll write down some ideas.

Do you have to choose a character from existing TF canon, or can you create your own original character? If so... what are the criteria or rules?

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Hmm, although I haven't played these games before, I would love to play as my favourite Megatron Reverse Convoy. I hope you can fit him in there somewhere. If not, I have in development an original character whom I have named Sprocket.

Hi, Gok. You may base your characters either from existing canons, or create your own - either is fine. You can also have a mix of both, if you like.

I will endeavour to post the complete rules and character templates tomorrow, but essentially your characters will be allocated standard tech points (speed, strength, intelligence, etc.) that contribute to a max number of points, as well as select a function, alt mode/s, rank, alignment and faction, as well as weapons and various skills from predefined lists - some of these will contribute to the points as well. They'll also need a name, a pic if you can provide one, a personality description, a background story and a motto, though the latter two are optional.

I'll provide a comprehensive guide and will also post my own character tech specs and profiles as completed examples. Your characters' profiles will largely depend on what kind of roles you want them to have in the RPG, what you want them to do, how they will behave, what their strengths/weaknesses are, etc. A player's actually ability to write comprehensively and to engage the other players in well thought out, creative posts will also help determine what level of involvement their characters should have (for example, whether they are Leader class or of lower rank, or whether they will play a pivotal part in the story or just have a supporting role). There is a standard rank that new players should start with for their characters, but I'd like to include a few higher ranking characters as well from players who are keen.

Hmm... from the wiki page, Reverse Convoy isn't actually Megatron... it just says that he was possessed by his spark? If that's true, then as long as he can be unrelated and is a separate individual in his own right (same way that Galvatron will be here), then I don't see a problem. Sprocket sounds interesting, though.

He can be unrelated. The feeling I got from the dvd (and the way I like to think of him) is that even though he was Reverse Convoy at the start, the megatron possession ends up being a permanent process. I think there was an inclination in the comic it was G1 Megs, but pfaah, I had him kind of slated in my mish mash unicron trilogy (with slight G1 links) universe with Sprocket.

Or a case of dual personality and blackouts is another one I pondered in a fanfic I started but didn't finish.
