Ok so thought i'd start a out of character topic first, before we start the role play. Then start a new topic for the actual role play. We can discuss out of character idea's here even after we start.
So to update:
Some of us were discussing starting a role play based on the TV series, but starting before they introduced "The magic" so we can sort of write our own ending.
We plan to split the characters up between us. Player is to pick one or two characters that they want to commit to permantly. (should it be one or two?) then will split the remaining characters between us as temporary until more players come along to claim them.
Proceedure for picking the characters: I'll make a list We each choose from the list in order until all the characters are gone. Aviod picking two that are closely related or interacdt with each other a lot. Example. Hazel and Fiver are often interacting with each other so if you choose one try not to choose the other or you will find yourself roleplaying a lot with yourself which would be boring.
Pairings I can think of like this are any of the couples (Blackberry + Campion, Hazel and Primrose, Bigwig and Spartina, Hawkbit and Clover, Moss and Heather etc) Woundwort and Vervain, Cowslip and Silverweed though I suppose not so much now that he's left that warren, Dandelion and Hawkbit who hang out a lot, Kehaar and Hannah,
If you can think of any others post them.
If two people really want the same character for their permanent one we could have a writing competition that the others judge. We could write a short piece includig that character and have a vote which was the best. Could even be a silent ballet via PM if you'd prefer.
Character list
Hazel
Fiver
Bigwig
Dandelion
Hawkbit
Strawberry
Campion
Blackberry
Primrose
Clover
Pipkin
Holly
Cowslip
Silverweed
Woundwort
Vervain
Moss
Granite (if we need him)
Spartina
Blackavar
Kehaar
Hannah
Bark
Screee
Farm cat
Farm dog (if we want to include them)
Black Rabbit of Inle (if we need him)
don't think we need El-ahrairah and rabscattle because they really only come into stories which Dandelion or the other would tell.
Do we need the book characters not in the above list? do we want to bring them into the tale or would that make it too complicated?
So to start the ball rolling, I woudn't mind taking on Bigwig if no one objects.
