There's so much that needs to be done and unfortunately, I don't feel very comfortable assigning jobs to you guys. I'd love it if you could tell me what you'd like to do or just go ahead and do it.

I could compile a list of things that need to be done?

Here's what's going on so far:

Haisyn: she's said that she will make up a list of the other creatures on Masquerade with brief descriptions of each. There are quite a few other creatures. The antelope things Ice mentioned once, Uta's creatures, those huge snakes in the ruins, Haisyn's creatures, Rade, ROUS. -fluffs- heart

It would be nice to get some pictures of them as well.

Kata: Map of Masquerade

From what I saw of it before, it's looking excellent! heart

Trivii': Journal Maintenance -hugs and loves- heart

Things I know need to be done:

-Journal sweep (making sure ALL the journals are up to date with all of the necessary information) In progress
-Map of the camp (this is going to be a bit difficult. We'll have to talk it out as to where everybody lives, where the campfire is, Cern's Pond, Homebase central...)
-Summary of the RP (this will probably have to be very brief, anything critical)
-Summary of the old plot (why things are as they are, the down-fall of Masquerade. I think Chae might be doing this, I'll get back to you guys on this one.)
-A brief description of the mechanics of the modern day Masquerade. (Kind of in story form. You know, including how Ice and TB discovered the planet and why they gathered the colonists.)
-Clips of every Masque's face in their current stage for Section V in the main thread
-Artist recruiting. I believe I mentioned once before that Chae and I would like to run this shop with multiple artists. So far, we've got Ivynian. (I LOVE her art, btw. heart ) I think at least one or two more would suffice. Please, PM me if you or somebody you know might be interested.

Chae and I are handling all of the RP stuff (except for the summary, nobody wants to do that. XD) and we're hoping that we'll be able to introduce the new plot soon! Its exciting and fun (if I do say so myself) and I can't wait to leave everybody guessing. :B

Of course, we'd love to hear what your ideas. We're all a team!

I haven't talked to Ice yet about whether or not her and TB are leaving the RP for good. I sure hope not. I'd hate to see Lyra, Sei and Io inactive. I don't think they'll be gone for good, though. At the very least, I think they'll return for every unmasking.

I was wondering about the best way to wrap-up the old plot.

What I'd very much like to see is everyone return for Ice's and TB's departure from Masquerade. ('course that depends on whether or not they reall are leaving.)

Lol, yet another thing I think I might bring you guys up to date on... But, you might have made these connections on your own. XD

The Masque's Styles


Elementals

based off of the elements

-members of the royal family or noble
-most powerful of the Masques

Stylized

movie/music/book themed

Ashy is humor
Artemis is classical
I think Fauve is either Romance or Fantasy... I'm leaning more towards Fantasy, what do you guys think?

Draco

Gemstone themed. They were the king's protectors.

So far we have Obsidian, Sapphire and Diamond. They are gaurds.

Cultural

Based off of different cultures. These Masques were scholars who studied the cultures of Earth/Gaia and practised their customs.

Any ideas for new masque types? Any suggestions for future masques

Suggestions

Masques

Kataio F
Animal types? have one trait or so enhanced like the animal?


Trivii`

Masques - Well, you have the nobility (elements) the Guards (Draco), the entertainers (Stylized), I dunno what the cultural were, but maybe we could do like a University and maybe have marde-gras or Carnivalle themed masques.


RP Conclusion

Trivii'
Possible conclusion - I think that all of the masques have changed enough that they may not want to go back to the way things were I would suggest like a Final war between the Masques/Colonists and the Rade. Then further exploration of the planet.

Because of possible projects I'd thought of that we could do in the future that involve further exploration and/or rebuilding some of the Palace ruins and any other ruins we might find, and because the Rade are the main threat right now, I think some sort of a final battle with them might be a good idea. I know that not all of the Rade have it out for the Masques and colonists like Baron does... but unless we can take Baron out somehow, they're as forced to deal with his aggressions as we are.

The cultural masks were scholars. I remember something about that from before, something Ice said somewhere I think. They studied other cultures and in many cases practiced certain aspects of them.

I was thinking some masks that were occupation-based? I'm not sure how that would work. The only ones I really had in mind were ones like those that worked with the hawking birds or in the stables, stuff like that, which would basically work out the same as the already mentioned animal types. *shrug*

My thoughts on layout of Home Base: Cern's pond is on the northern end somewhere. The central "meeting house" is toward the center, just a bit off-center, along with the main storehouse(s). I was kinda thinking it would butt up against the storehouse, and that they would both be re-inforced to give everyone a place to wait out attacks or bad weather. The fire pit and the central picnic/event area are in the center. The houses are in a sort of ring around the center. Not a perfect ring, exactly, but a ring. There would be room here and there for further buildings, like the school I remember someone planning to build from a while back, and probably space for animal pens and such. Stuff we can get started on at some point. XD;

Anyone else have any ideas on Home Base?

I imagine the compound as kinda "U" shaped, just rough examples here... North East is Cern's pond... North is the path into the woods... North West is the Fire Pit.... West is the Garden.... South West is the start of the housing area.... South is the common meeting house with the school tucked behind it still in the south.... South East goes into the storage houses.... and East maybe some kind of field? they would need to have started terra-forming if the colony is going to survive.

~Edit:: I created a Thread Labled Project: Journal Up-Keep which I will be moving to the Journals area and Sticky-ing once I've finished setting it up. PM-me if you have any biffs with what I've done already, or just if I've forgotten anything. I don't want to step on any toes.

~Update:: I have moved the thread and it is now Stickied, but feel free to continue PMing me with suggestions.

~In addition:: I edited the first post of this thread to show that the journal sweep is in progress so if you want somthing fixed, nows the time to msg me. And also I fixed some out dated info in the FAQS anouncement thread.

Hai's short list (or maybe not so short, I'm not sure...) of things that need to get done, yo:

-Relocating information from front page of retired HB to the new one. (Map needed.)
-Cert for FA and Dreamer 'cause I like to show off. XP
-Possible Space Station thread in similar fashion to HB. Will need a description of different areas of the Station, and a map. (Gee, if you will make the post with the shop mule and reserve the first page's worth of posts, I'll try to help with it.)
-Possible Ruined Palace thread as shown above, with a map, listing of identified areas of the Palace, and list of threats known to lurk inside...

Last two are optional, that stuff might actually be able to be encompasses somewhere in the HB. I just though it might work out better that way just in case we end up with multiple major scenarios going on in different areas.

Hai, tell me if I got anything wrong with FA's and Balrog's certs.

I could have sworn we agreed that they would be Stylized because of, you know, their history... ninja But, I'm not sure.

You're the artist and what you say goes. heart

Yeah, they were going to be stylized. <3 The types work well, too.
