[FFRP] A Psychological Experiment. (OOC)

[Whatevr89532]

In a world where magic is prevalent, and often used by the powerful for the manipulation of the minds and bodies of others, one group of mages and scientists decide to use it for a little research..but above all, keep it legal and as ethical as possible. The cornerstone of their plan is a contract which any applicant for test subject must read and fill out, outlining as many details of the experiment's procedure as possible, emphasizing the inclusion of physical and mental change--both temporary. The contract must be signed by both parties, and is a binding statement made by the researchers as well. Because test subjects are paid well at the end, and by the contract's terms, keep only those changes they truly like, the group expects there to be enough applicants that deception is unnecessary.

Our story focuses on one such test, seeking to determine the psychological impact of various degrees of change to mind and body, and encounters with others likewise changed. Each subject (having signed a contract in advance) enters the facility, walks a hallway along which the changes that he or she will test are applied, and then enters a living area to stay with other subjects for a week. At the end, all changes to said subject's mentality are reversed, and (s)he is allowed to choose between leaving in the original form, the present one, or even an altered version of one or the other in addition to payment for participation.

The RP will consist of two parts for each character--the first, the hallway, being between a narrator (me at first, possibly others) and the one being changed; and the second, in the living area, between everyone. You can join at any time. (The first part is now handled via PM and then posted in bulk)

Please post the sheet here and let me accept it. Feel free to edit the sheet to reflect new changes to the character; it's not required though.

Here's a general idea of the living space arrangement. The pool isn't on the map, and the rooms labeled "restroom" are smaller than the "bathrooms" and don't include baths or showers, while the "bathrooms" do.

(Okay, as mod of this room, let me give you that clarification. An FFRP is a game with little to no operator involvement beyond the creation of the story and setting and perhaps a few incidentals. It's free-form, which means you turn the players loose and let them do whatever they want within the parameters of the setting you established. Some game creators don't even do much with character sheets, in those, and people can often jump in and out whenever they please. It's the less structured of the two. By contrast, the SRP is more like a table roleplay only over the internet. The game creator is involved all the time, throwing out plot points and possible pitfalls and other such things. It's overall a lot more structured, with more regular guidance from the creator; overall, it's less of a free-for-all. Players do indeed still have input, as always, but there's a stronger presence of the creator's hand. They do more with it, have more detail involved, etc. Does this help?)

[Whatevr89532]

Alright, thanks. I remembered some of the general stuff from (I think) old announcements describing them, but couldn't remember the rest. I'd say this falls under Free-form although the setting is relatively small in scale.

[Harri-chan]

I like this idea and shall come up with a character for it

[Miku-chan]

[Harri-chan]

Character--
Name: Melissa Chapman
Gender: Female
Age: 31

Appearance: She's quite tall, almost six foot, with a curvy figure. She has dark brown hair that she dyes to keep the grey streaks out, which is slightly curled and just passed het shoulders in length. She wears glasses, which like the rest of her clothes are stylish and expensive. Upon arriving for the experiment she's wearing a grey business suit consisting of a fitted jacket and short skirt, with dark tights and a pink blouse, and heels in her feet.

Personality: Melissa has always been driven towards having the perfect life. During school, she completely ignored the social life for study, and married her first boyfriend after graduating law school, as in her perfect life fantasy, marrying your childhood sweetheart was one of the top goals. She pushed and pushed to earn a reputation as one of the best young lawyers in the city, pushing so hard she ended up having a breakdown. On top of it, she found out that childhood sweetheart she'd rushed into marriage with was actually a jerk, who'd been cheating on her with her mid-twenty year old sister. She's lost her family, and her job, and is desperate for money, which is why she's signed to the experiment without giving it much thought. Before the breakdown, she'd been a strong, confident woman who enjoyed being her own boss.

He signed up so that he could get a newe life away from all of that, one were he didn't have to worry about doing the wrong thing. He is also slightly vaine about his intellegence, and tends to look down on those not as smart as him... but he doesn't admit it to himself.

[Whatevr89532]

Ok, wow, I didn't expect such interest; thank you for it. I've seen no problems in the sheets sent so far, so they're all accepted. I'll write up some kind of reference-list in the top post a little later, and as this is enough I think I can start soon (maybe tomorrow or if not, Monday-ish?).

I should probably note that I don't intend to do much auto-acceptance; the in-character reason is because finding out what thought processes lead one to accept or reject a change to their body/mind is an important part of the experiment, while the out-of-character reason is that it feels to me like kind of a cheap way to handle things (nothing against those who want/use it, there are legitimate and good reasons to). Nonetheless, I'll do it for anyone who really wants me to, but preferably not everyone.

Might as well do this now, too: If there are any volunteers to do someone else's changes, possibly mine, please let me know.

[Zilla]

Character--
Name: Linda Garters
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Appearance: tall, blonde, and average. She wears jeans and solid-color tops, though they are usually saturated in color.
Personality: Carefree and chipper, she's quite optimistic. She likes experiencing new things, and so she signed up for the experiment to see what kinds of things she can experience. She's open and outgoing, though she has a more serious side that she only shows to those who get close to her.
New Appearance: Not Yet
Personality Changes: None Yet
Player--
Preferred Physical Changes: animal or mythical traits, new appendages or abilities, things that change how the character is perceived or how they can relate to the world, and slower changes are awesome.
Hated Physical Changes: Anything obscene, though given MSF, this is already a no-no so we're all good ^_^. I'm fine with just about anything, and like my character, I love exploring new things.
Comfort Zone of Mental Changes: As far as you like, I love mental changes. I like them slow though. and unaware is always fun.
Mental Changes I Cannot/Will Not Play: Anything is fine.

[Zoey]

I'll be honored to do your tf w/er :p

[Whatevr89532]

Excellent; Zilla, your character is accepted.
Everyone, the IC is up.

I'll try and come up with a character myself soon.

(In case you're wondering, the colors of the hallways don't correspond to Muffin colors at all. I am doing something with them, but that isn't it.)

[Whatevr89532]

My character:
Character--
Name: Koren Irtes
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: Koren is pretty average in build, certainly not muscular and even a little pudgy in his stomach. He wears a blank white t-shirt and nondescript blue jeans. He has blue eyes and dark brown hair that goes about an inch from its roots; the front of his face is uncovered by hair, but he has a chinstrap beard.
Personality: He's pretty smart, but tries not to show it too much. He almost always has a smile on his face, and can be quite sociable and interesting to talk to, but he doesn't tend to open up much to people he doesn't already know.
New Appearance: Not Yet
Personality Changes: None Yet
Player--
Preferred Physical Changes: Female; I like animal traits, especially canine ones, but I'm not so picky as to complain about others. I like well-described changes.
Hated Physical Changes: Inanimate, AR below puberty, completely non-humanoid
Comfort Zone of Mental Changes: Fairly open.
Mental Changes I Cannot/Will Not Play: Extremely low intelligence (ditz/bimbo), total mental rewrite (i.e. memory gone)

I'll have him arrive my next post, I think; I'm asking Kaizer to do the change. Let me know if you need/want images to use.

[Whatevr89532]

Okay, I've worked on the living space arrangement a bit, forgive my terrible MSPainting.
(Note, the difference between what I called a "bathroom" and a "restroom" is the "bathroom"s have baths and showers, while the "restrooms" don't)

I think I need a little help/input at this point. Firstly, is the map as it is now clear and is the arrangement of everything fairly sensible; and secondly, what to do with that blank room in the second floor?
