Post away my friend. We are always looking forward to good Nosecone action.

Hi! Welcome to Seibertron, and the Seibertron RPG!

Feel free to apply for a character, or ask a mod if you have any questions!

There are plenty of veterans as well if the mods are a bit busy but from what I know of them, they usually do get back with you in a day or two. You can also ask the questions in here and the community will try its best to answer them.

Thanks for the warm reception guys. I did have a question about using canon characters. Are you supposed to use the personality that's written in the profile as a guide for how the character acts or can you wing some of it?

Yes, I'll use Someguywhoreallyneedstogotothebathroom as a nice example.

If Someguywhoreallyneedstogotothebathroom has the knowledge of a gnat (Lets say one) it would say so in his profile. If you went out with him in-game and you start solving puzzles and you make him talk fluently in three hundred different languages, then that is uncharacteristic of that character and you might be better off with a different one.

You can wing it if it is not said in the Profile section, like how he would react to a duck flying around with a ketchup bottle singing "Eye of the Tiger". But just make sure you stick to the personality of the character.

Goofiness side, I hope you get my point.

I believe they want it to be fairly close to what is written for canons but that may also be case by case basis. There are some canons out there who are so under developed that they are basically a name with alt mode, stats, and function with very little background. You probably get more leeway with those then one who is highly established like Wheeljack or Cliffjumper. The first thing you do need to do is see if the canon is available and if any doubt, ask. Second is read up on the threads that you would have an interest in playing in. Along that line, if you know the character already been played before, search the threads to find out where that one is at. Third, once you know where the character is at and where you want it, do the application process which is explained fairly well. NPC (non-player characters) are available to be applied for.

Thanks again, just out of memory though, has anyone played Arcee?

She's not being played, but since there is a Profile of her, then yes I would imagine that there was a person playing her.

Mm, I'll have to look around a bit more then.

EDIT: Alright, say I wanted to use a character that had already been used before. For the application, do I write my own, or base it off the original application?

You can do either as long as it fits in the framework of the game.

Maybe commenting a little late, but just giving my two cents about how to "play" canon characters. Just to kill any pressure about it, just remember that even the official sources used the same characters differently- just look at the difference between the Marvel comics and the G1 cartoon with the likes of Blaster, Shockwave, Grimlock, Ratbat, etc.
Anyway, point is, no pressure.

Hey guys. I finally decided to join up this thing, and I'm wondering where I should start in terms of catching up on the story.

For roleplay porpoises I'm considering a few characters- Mindwipe, Brawl, or maybe one of the Insecticons. Unfortunately, all my favorite Autobots have been taken, and I'm not very well acquainted with most of the remaining ones. Any input on which Transformer I should choose? I think I'm leaning towards Mindwipe or maybe Shrapnel...

We could always use a talented Afterburner for the Technobots.

Welcome to Seibertron!

Where you should start is finding out which place you would want that guy. There are three places right now:

Nebulos
Cybertron
Earth

Pick one that corresponds with the characters that's group is on, and go right a head and read the posts of that place to get yourself acquainted!

Marcus Rush is right, the Technobots will need some backup in fighting the Insecticons! But it is your choice, and there is a roll call of the Insecticons as well, but it is your choice.

Hmmm... Afterburner might be a good idea. It'd be nice to start at the beginning of a character's story and with a group already mostly full of people... Then maybe if the MODs allow it, I'll apply for one of the Insecticons- Their player numbers seem to be dwindling. Plus I've always had a soft spot for those guys.

Edit: Whoops, just missed Afterburner. Guess I'll have to figure something else out.

Hey guys, I'm going on holiday as of this Saturday (06/08) until the following Saturday. I'm aware of Blaster's role in detecting the upcoming Decepticon missions on Earth for action to be taken by the Autobots, so if it comes to that before I get back, could somebody NPC him and Blitzwing?

Cheers.

Not yet. Though particularly then ones on Earth really are missing you.

New topic for the Stunticon operation here!

hello, i am about to join the RPG, however i have a question, could our characters acquire new weapons, or to get a new weapon you must lose one of your old weapons?

In the effect of "I rip off your arm and beat you with it" then yes, you do pick up other weapons, but I am assuming you must revert back to you normal weapons after a time, like after the battle.

However, I may be mistaken, and a Mod might be the better answerer to this question.

well i meant by new weapon like getting a sword or something, still you helped me so thanks. I am still waiting for to mods to see my character application.

Please remember to turn off your sigs in all of the RPG forums.

I got an idea to improve the RPG, is to add a new thread called ''Sample posts'', in this thread you post your sample post, if your sample post is accepted then you can play the RPG, and it will not be necessary to post another sample when you make another character. If someone post is character app before writing the sample even if the app is accepted you cannot play as the character until you post a good post sample.
