PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE FIRST POST


Objective:

Roll the dice to receive an adjective and a person. Write a short story about the character you roll.


Instructions:


Step 1: Observe the three lists. One with 100 adjectives, one with 100 realistic characters, and one with 100 fantasy/exotic characters.

Step 2: Decide on if you want a fantasy or realistic character.

Step 3: Hit “Reply”! In your post, specify fantasy or realistic. Under “Post Action,” select “Roll Dice”.

Step 4: Select to roll 2 100 sided dice!

Step 5: Hit post!

Step 6: Look at your post, you will receive 2 numbers between 1 and 100. In this post, I got 5 and 13.

Step 7: Look at the lists! Match your numbers with the list numbers. Congratulations, you have a new character. I would have a “Frumpy Avon Sales Representative” with my numbers XD

Step 8: Write a story about your character and post it in the story thread! I don't mind if you write a poem or a longer piece instead, but try to avoid mere character profiles. This is the writing workshop, so the goal of this game is to develop writing other than just roleplaying -w-

Rules:


1. Follow Guild Rules/Gaia TOS

2. Be sure to follow all the instructions! If you have any questions, just post in THIS thread without rolling.

3. Again, stories and poems only. No character profiles.

4. Remember, stories always have a beginning, middle, and end! There must be some kind of conflict or plot driving device. Causes make effects.

5. You get THREE REROLLS. By rolling once, you are committing to write something. Don't roll if you don't plan on writing. If you get something you're not used to, good! The point of this is to step outside your comfort zone, and write something different! You may pick from all 4 of your rolls and write about any character.

6. If you don't know what a word means, or what something is, LOOK IT UP. Yay learning!

7. NO QUOTING THE LISTS OR THIS POST

8. Make sure you post your final products in the story thread, so they don't get lost in here with the rolling!

9. DOUBLE POSTING IS OK IN THIS THREAD, but only if rolling/rerolling.

9. There is no word limit or minimum for stories. They can be as short as 150, or as long as 10,000! Just make sure it's a story, and not just a description or profile.

@Rae- I'm gonna go through everything -w-:

realistic characters: 

professional window squeegee-er
-YES
lunch lady (at a school) 
-YES
murderer 
-i already have a serial killer, and a “murderous” adjective so I think that'll cover it -w-
convict 
-i already have “prisoner” and “criminal” and I think they're similar enough
politician 
-YES
spy 
-already have under fantasy/exotic...for some reason. I guess cause it's a little more...epic? i dunno.
nomad 
-YES
only child 
-I already just have "child," so I think the writer can run with that.
quintuplet 
-hmm... I have “twin” and “doppelganger”...so I think I may change twin to quintuplet. That could be more interesting.
physicist 
-YES
gypsy 
-also already under exotic
smuggler 
-YES
IRS worker 
that could be interesting o.o
handicapped person 
YES
firefighter 
YES
driving instructor 
YES
door-to-door/street-side evangelist 
YES
fisherman 
YES

fantasy:
selkie 
-YES
bogey man
-I already have ghost...but I think that it's different enough. Ok!
sandman 
-YES
man in the moon
-I have "alien" and "space traveler" so...I dunno I feel like those are similar enough. 
Loch Ness Monster 
-How about just lake/sea monster? So there's a bit more creative license -w-
mother nature 
- I already have god/goddess, so I feel like mother nature is just a specific kind of goddess
sentient being that in reality we believe to be an object (ex: a block of cheese with a consciousness) 
-OOH YES!
Santa Claus 
-hmm...
The Easter Bunny 
-I think I'll combine santa and easter bunny into like, a children's myth?
toys that are alive (think Toy Story or the Teddy Bears' Picnic) 
-This is also really cool, but I'll probably combine it with the object one.
slave 
-YES
alchemist
-YES


I didn't use everything, but you still gave me like....21 new things! So that's really super awesome, and you have made it onto THE BEAUTIFUL SHINY LIST OF AWESOME 4laugh
