[PXFIRE] [SU/DS] PXFIRE II Roleplay: Convergence

[Morzone]

@evanfardreamer Mainly the latter. For the most part Everyone will start separately in these kinds of RPs. Some people will start together, especially if one person has two or more characters, but that depends more on the background and role of the character. For instance one person might make two characters that are siblings, so they'd be rather likely to be in the same place together. Similarly, people on the same team (like you and me) have a better chance of starting in the same place. It just depends on how we want to co-ordinate it. Anyway, for an RP of this scale, with a large map that is essentially an entire continent and a limited number of people, there'd have to be a very unifying force to bring us all to the same spot, and even then it'd happen after quite some time. More likely people will gravitate toward who ever feels most natural to end up running into. It's more about keeping the RP feeling like things are moving and people are acting in a natural way, so as to keep the immersion. In terms of plot lines, while each group of interactees will be doing their own thing, everyone should be connected, in some way or another, to one central plot. But like I mentioned previously, this overall plot is something that would develop and bring everyone together slowly. Most of the time, people will be off in their own separate groups focusing on more goals more personal to their own situations.

Now on to my questions:

This RP situation sounds perfect for the rise of an underground evil team-Rocket style organization, And I was hoping to have my character (one of them anyway) secretly be a part of it. But would you prefer it be an organization that is being started, or one already powerful from the shadows, pulling strings? I'm asking because A large multinational evil organization is a fairly large plot piece and since the plot description didn't have anything like that, I didn't want to mess with any plans you had in terms of plot progression/development.

I've never done a freeform RP before. Are all characters in the same area, interacting with all others at the same time? Or will there be separate plotlines going where say 3 characters interact with and reply to each other, but in the same thread two others might be pursuing a different story?

Morzone did a good job describing it. Pretty much, everyone's doing their own thing at first, but can meet up wth each other as the plot goes on. So closer the latter example, as pretty much everone is going along their own storyline, but the lines will intersect at points as the RP progresses.

I think the organisation already being established would work best, but either will fit in fine with what I've got so far, so take you pick. :)

I thought multiple Pokemon could appear from rifts? Was I incorrect?
