Hello, new here!

Registration is always open. In fact registration will always be open. As far as how frequent we post...well that depends on a couple of factors...like how active the thread is, how many players are involved, where(as in location of the story), whether you're involved in a side story. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

So, yes we want new players...and if you're interested in joining in please feel free and throw up an app *cough* canons are fun *cough* and we'll see if we can't get you in.

Hope that helps, new here. :grin:

I moved this post to this topic because the application thread should be used only for the applications of characters. If you have any questions pertaining to the RPG please post them here.

As for your request...I'm sorry but Blackstar is a fanmade and therefore belongs to the character's creator. You'll need to choose a canon character...the list of available, NPC and taken characters can be found Here or you're more than welcome to create your own fanmade.

Welcome :D

Just to reiterate what ember said above, poking through the character list is always a good idea when one is canon browsing. We try to keep it pretty up to date with who's playing whom.

Blitzwing, as you'll see, is taken, but there are plenty of others waiting for good players to take them on.

As for Unicron, I wouldn't hold my breath :D

Hey I'm pretty sure I asked this previously before and I don't really know if this question goes to this thread or the general discussion thread but.. How does death work?

Does the Bot turn to hues of grey and black like in the 86 movie or do they retain the same colors?

Also has anyone successfully resurrected anyone before? That's my character's whole shtick.

Well, death can occur a few different ways but I think the most grave would have to be severe damage to the spark or the personality component/laser core/brain module...all of which can be considered their actual "brain".

When a Cybertronian does die I doubt their color would complete vanish, but their color dulling wouldn't be too far fetched. Seemed right in MTMTE issue # 1 (Liars, A to D Part 1: How to Say Goodbye and Mean It) when Ratchet was examining that NAIL who committed suicide by burning his transformation cog out. He pretty much dulled out to a light green.

And no, no one's been resurrected and it probably won't ever happen.

Is the existence of transformers something known to the human public (like in some comics i read and in G1) in the RPG or they are hiding their existance? (like in some other comics i read...)

Hey there.

I played on the board for a little while years ago as a sorta Fan-Made Con, Krunix. Unfortunately, life got in the way some, but I was wondering how I could go about rejoining with Krunix.

From that far back you would need to re-post an application for him and we'll go from there.

Targetmasters don't exist yet in this game. The best thing is to post an app of Spinister without them which should be fairly easy.

I think my post to this wasn't transferred over from the site's old server. Anyhow, there are no Targetmasters, Headmasters or any other kinds of 'Masters'. If you want you can check out the Game History and Notes thread for more info on this subject and others.

Hey guys, thanks for the quick reply on the character question!

I see you folk like canon characters, and I would love to partake of some canon 'formers as well :grin:

Was wondering: Is there a sort of 'List of the Dead' I missed in perusing the RP Info? If I was looking for characters like Straxus or Impactor, who are alive or dead depending on which G1 continuity you were looking at, or lesser canon characters like Windsweeper or Flame/Laster, who easily could've been dead already in the continuity, I was just wondering if it was handled on a case by case or if there was a reference page to look of of "yeah, this is a war, so this one is dead and this one and this one and this one..."

Also, is there a posting I missed for NPC rules? I know it's always useful to have some players willing to bolster the NPC ranks, and would be more than willing, but I am not familiar with how the NPCs work in this game...

No problemo.

To my knowledge, without giving it an excess of thought, there aren't any characters who are officially dead, and thus inapplicable for that particular reason. But there are plenty of characters that are restricted from new (or newer) players until we all get a sense of how said player will contribute to the game and if it looks like they're going to stick around. Returning players fall under that same umbrella. Those are just subjective, mod calculations. Not much official. For example, of the characters you mentioned up there, Windsweeper is the only one who would be ideal for a newcomer. The others would even be only reluctantly given out to established players, and even then, only with a good long-term plan in mind. Most any characters from the Japanese continuity fall under that umbrella: theoretically approvable but exceedingly unlikely unless the right mix of circumstances come together.

As for NPCs, no super official process there either. Easier that way, since they're basically just a benefit to the game at large since they're sort of being used in the game but also still available for application. After you get your first character in and rolling, you just talk to a mod about who you're interested in NPCing and we'll see what we can do.

Are my characters allowed to develop? I mean change and deviate from the stuff that is in their profile. But are we allowed to change some character's personality traits when things happen, life-changing experiences, events, stuff?

This could be too much of a human trait, but if yes, then I would like my current/future characters to be more dynamic, able to develop and change with time.

Am I and other normal players able to create cannon character profiles for other people, and not play them ourselves? I would assume that if that was possible then a sample post wouldn't be necessary.

If I'm understanding the gist of your question correctly, yes.

For example, if I wanted to get a friend who wasn't in the game to play on the rpg and the only thing holding him back was not wanting to make a profile of the canon character in question (and we didn't have one already. We have quite a few in the profiles section and in archive section of the older RPGs. That's where I found Grapple) then I could choose to cobble together a profile for him if I thought it was worth the effort. That player would still need to do their own sample post though, so we can see their specific skills in action.

I would like to add to Sid's response that the other player would still have to post for the character under their name and not yours. We have people helping out with profiles behind the scenes quite often.

I thought about joining the RPG and bringing in Ion Storm (one of the Rainmakers) which has been my character for the last 5 years and before he became official last year. My profile for him is much more extensive than what is on TFwiki.

That would make for a neat read. You're welcome to post it in the applications thread and give it a shot. With characters or profiles like that, the mods just want to make sure that it fits within the boundaries of the world we've all built. It might be good to go as is. If there's some things that need tweaked, we'll mention them in our reply. :D

(Side note: if you could uncheck the attach signature box when posting in the rpg section, we'd all appreciate. Keeps page times loading their fastest for everyone.)

Sorry about that in terms of my sig...I will remember to do that.

In terms of Ion Storm, he is still a new canon character and there is not much on him on the TFwiki site. I certainly can modify his lengthy profile if needed to fit him in. I am pretty flexible with him. He is a fun character to play so to speak. ;)
