Hey there

Vicious

Inactive Member
My previous experiences with forum RP sites has been rather bleak. Many of them died early in their development or turned into something I couldn't bring myself to be apart of. I found Star Army after a really long and fruitless search for something to fill up my time as many of my friends are returning to school or work. Though I may be a bit rusty as I haven't been on a RP forum in a few years now but I'm hoping to shake off the rust rather quickly as I've kept myself relatively sharp with tabletop RPG's. Sadly finding a good game to join has been pretty rough so I thought I'd try my luck here and maybe find a cool place to hang out and be creative.

I have to admit I've had a bit of a modern/scifi fix I've been trying to itch but all I ever find are fantasy games using D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder. So when I found Star Army and how extensive the universe was I was pretty taken with its premise (I'm a sucker for mech suits, space battles and cat girls >.>).

So I finally worked up the nerve to make a account, post here and I nearly forgot to introduce myself. My friends call me Vicious and its been my handle for awhile now. I use it for games like CSGO, WoT, DayZ etc. and it's kinda stuck as it fits my personality.

With that I look forward to meeting some new people and exploring the forums. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask me.
 
Hi Vicious,
I know what you mean by finding only fantasy games, its annoying after awhile. I just wanted to welcome you to the ever growing family of star army, being a newish player myself I still remember what it was like joining and i hope you love it here as much as the other players do.

I do hope that our characters meet sometime, you seem interesting and a person. I hope you find a lot of friends over the forums.
 
Hi Vicious, welcome to Star Army. I am Nashoba, one of the Site Admins, and Game Master. Always nice to meet new folks. If you haven't already done so check out the New Players' Guide.

We have open roleplay that you can just jump into without having to create a formal character, and our plots. We have a number of different Factions each with their own flavor. There is no restriction on how many factions you can join. Just so long as you can keep up with the plots you are in.

If you have questions, you can post them here, or you can PM me, also check out the IRC. There is usually plenty of folks there who can answer most general questions.

Take care and hope to see you in the forums.
 
Welcome to SARP, Vicious.
The SARPiverse is huge but there's plenty of guides and things like that to help you out along the way. My only advice is that if your going to make a character modeled after yourself don't make it your first character. Trust me, I made the mistake a few years back on another website and had to edit many times because of it. I personally don't model characters after myself anymore.
Hope you have fun!
 
I know more than anyone that Star Army can certainly be a fun time-sink if you get invested it. I have spend innumerable hours writing new setting items and places, creating artwork for the wiki, posting RP, and just hanging out with the other SARPers in the chat and on the forums. So you've come to the right place, and I hope you keep coming back. Let me know what your questions are and I'll answer them. The more questions, the merrier, no matter how dumb, weird, or lewd they are. So ask away!
 
@Scarlet - I am indeed a person and it's likely that our character will cross paths though it may not be for some time as I'm still debating which will be my first character.

@Nashoba - Thank you, I'll definitely jump on and chat once I'm done deciding on the type of character I'll make.

@Rizzo - I'm not a big fan of basing a character solely on your person as it typically leads to complications as you'll take offense to minor slights and things of a similar nature due to the character being based on you. Though I am of a strong belief that people cant help but instill a bit of themselves in every character they make.

@Wes - I'm pretty new to the whole wiki threads and using it to host characters and other information pertaining to RP but I'm sure I'll catch on quick. I do have plenty of questions more so about different cultures, whats the current standing of the universes most prominent factions, events that all characters would be aware of but I am going to wait a bit before I start asking and browse over the forums first.

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

So true. I base all my characters on various traits of various people. The result is a completely unique character that pretty much becomes its own person. That's why I always say that I am not my character and do not agree with all my characters ideals and actions. (That's also the reason I was asked multiple times to play bad guys on my old site:cool:). Being able to separate IC and OOC actions can be difficult but it sounds like you've got that covered. ;)
 
I said person because I am not sure if your a guy or girl, I really hope we can rp together, even if it is on open rp.

I hope that you find it all great here and stay for a long time.
 
Haha that's fine, I am a girl and definitely I'm still trying to get a feel for the site and where I think my character could fit in.
 
Vicious: If you don't find an existing place in the RP, I encourage you to carve out your own. All it takes to start a thread is a cool idea people will latch onto. Star Army is, and has always been an incomplete universe and if you want to fill in holes or weave something new in, it's possible. That's one of the things that makes Star Army cool. Any member can add to the site canon.
 
Hey there Vicious, I for one can vouch for the tenacity of plotlines in this forum (some of which have been running for 10 years or more). I came here a year ago after the 2 plotlines I was involved with on RPOL fell flat due to GM abscence. Here though the sheer complexity of the universe is a heck of a lot to get your head around but its worth it. Especially since if you have an idea you can submit it for review =P.

Wherever you choose to billet for your plotlines, hope to see you in the chatlanes.
