Welcome to the Flux!
We're a single-thread RPG/Creative Writing/Arts/hang out and chat forum! We welcome anything you've got to show us, from arts, crafts, graphics, sprites, to fanfic, original stories, novels, short stories, to RPGs, or if you just want to hang out and chat with us, you're more then welcome. We offer a variety of boards across the forum, so you're sure to find a place to fit in somewhere.
More of the lurker type? I'm sure you'll find some good browsing material! But please don't be a stranger, head down to find the source of that incessant clicking: The C-box. You're sure to find someone to chat with there!
The Flux was built by a former RPG-community, so expect lots of activity there. However, after we moved on from our last site we decided to expand.
We have a helpful, dedicated staff, ready and willing to answer questions, or offer help with whatever you need, whenever you need it.
So don't be shy, come on in, introduce yourself, and become a part of our laid-back community. But don't forget to look over the rules. |

Okay...
So Seventh Sanctum is this awesome generator site. It has generators for EVERYTHING. Character designs... Personalities... powers... weapons... story... plot lines...
You say: "But Tailer, we already have so many RPs!"
I know, I know... but this would be more of a time killer. It'll be easily set up to be active whenever we all want it to be. We can separate easily enough, and just... it's a time killer, really. Like High School of Insanity, but a single thread.
Basically, the plot would be this.
Pretty regular life day thing. Except we all get whisked away to this 'dream' college. For whatever reason. It'll be this prestigious place that's got this new Dream Technology. Basically, we'd go into this room, be put to sleep, hooked up to dream machines, and everything would be randomly generated.
I'd be generating your powers each 'dream trip' we take. We'd be sent to a new 'world' each time. Even though it's 'all just a dream' we'll probably have some manner of threat to our real world bodies, just to spice it up. Like 'if you die in your dreams, you'll die in real life', or something.
I'd also select your characters, if you so wanted. I think it'd be fun to do something completely random like this... I'd give you a basis, and your character will be built around that. That character will then be put into dream worlds with the others, and we'd go on all kinds of crazy, random adventures. We'd fight monsters with random abilities, also assigned by the generator.
Maybe we'd go to a post-apocalyptic world and fight demons. Maybe we'd go to a mundane, every-world, and have to fight giant monsters. Maybe we'd get all sentai'd. Maybe we'd enter a futuristic world with mechs. Maybe we'd be in teh ocean... The possibilities are endless... and random as all hell.
In short, it'd be all completely generated, aside from the Dream School. Again, mostly just for fun.
What do you all think?

I'm intrigued by the random powers every 'dream trip' thing but I'd prefer to have more control about the character personality and appearance.
That aside, I'd be game.

I'd take peoples' typical character types into account. I could fix it to work that way. Some bits of them should be randomized though, for maximum randomness. I'd give you a basis, and I could make sure that you'd get your typical cold, collected, badass type, if that's what you'd prefer.

Oh, I can be crazy as well and go all away from my usual standards.
Was actually planning to bring out Merle from that unborn Norse RP with random powers and stuff, since this actually seemed to be the best game to use him. But eh, I can settle with extra traits I need to include on his personality. Still game anyway.

I could probably just make the random generated character traits and stuff optional...
Though expect some obligatory changes dependant on the setting. We won't always be put into the dream worlds as our exact characters thrown into something they don't understand.
Half the time characters will be pre-set in certain positions. For example, a medieval tale. One character is put as the princess, another her royal guard... and maybe someone playing her brother, even though they aren't actually related.
That sort of thing.

Game for the randomness, plot and you selecting me a character.
Make it a guy. Or a girl. But then they'd have to be something different than what you've seen so far so.
