RPP- Role Playing Platformer

Three friends (yes only three) find themselves in a 2D world, full of platforms floating in the air mysteriously, spikes planted in the ground by no one in particular and for some peculiar reason, diapers. They must work together on their journey through this harsh foreboding land that someone has split into seemingly infinite disconnected areas called levels to search for their way home.

We're basically only going to use MS Paint for illustrating travel across the levels and pretty much whenever the hell you feel like it. To make things quicker and easier we'll be drawing up a few "sprites" in MS Paint beforehand to copy and paste together onto levels. Anyone interested, PM me for details. Oh, and if more than three people wanna do this, someone is more than happy to copy my idea.

I think this is a crazy, reckless idea but I want to throw caution to the wind my friends. I want to completely revolutionize roleplaying, who's with me?! [/cheesy motivation]

Meh, maybe.

YES.

Although I'm not amazing at MS paint. Or even good for that matter. I'll try though.

Here's an example, I'm still debating whether to use color or not, I certainly don't expect to color backgrounds.

It's quite important to disconnect the arm, it allows you to do all sorts of fun things, like so.

Please note that there will be editing of the characters later as they get powers and items to help them around the landscapes that become inexplicably more difficult to go through.

I'll join in!

Step 1: Tell us about your character, no character sheet just give us as much information as you can/want.
Step 2: Open MSPaint, draw character and disconnect their arm, make sure it fits up nice if you paste it back on. (When drawing, try to use my example as a comparison so we don't have crazy height issues.)
Step 3: Sit back with giddy anticipation as you wait for the rp to start.

Lyssa isn't the most interesting girl in the world, but she is kind and happy to help. She's currently a junior in high school and 17 years old, her hobbies include sewing, reading and hanging out with her friends. She does exercise a little to stay in shape, but she's no athlete. She has turquoise or teal hair, depending on how the light shines on it, that is kept back with a hairband near the bottom and she has green eyes. Her clothing varies from day to day, she'll either go extremely casual with a simple t-shirt and pants or extremely over-dressed in a dress she has sewn.
(And I already posted her initial character image. Here it is again. https://2img.net/h/oi33.tinypic.com/153vc0g.png )

Out of curiousity, how do you turn the arm? Like change the angle?

I actually had to use photoshop for that, paint only lets you turn stuff at 90 degree angles.

due to lack of ms skillz I'm withdrawing.

I've seen your stuff, you don't have a lack of anything. Your plenty qualified to be in this, don't leave.

By the way Shuri, your hair is HUGE! I'll get around to the other stuff later. Lazy crazy.

I guess it is big, even for my drawing style. I tried to tone down the volume a bit:

I'm filled with gitty anticipation.

My stuff just turns out ugly...

Is it because your doing your fairy? It's tough to draw small things.

Hmm...I didn't think to draw my fairy...that'll probably be easier for me then, thanks!



Kamryn isn't the most sedate creature there could be, she tends to be spastic and childish, introducing herself with an enthusiastic hug and a verbose saying of her name and a greeting. She's around 12 years old but you'd never guess that by being around her. She like shiny colors, anything huggable, and people that like her. Once somebody says they are her friend she'll constantly feel the need to spend more cuddle time with them. As a fey she's a pretty small creature, most normal sized people not being able to discern finite features of her face and body, she actually does have a bust size. She has red hair, with darker red streaks, that she just lets flow naturally. She wears dresses, mainly because they are easy to make, and she uses every color under the sun except black, because that's only in the places the sun isn't at. Most of the time she can be found with her arms around a friend.

Now that's just tooooooo tiny.
(It does look good though.)

I'm better with tiny stuff, big stuff is just hard...

Sorry, it's too small to use. =\ (You do have a future in graphics with indie games though.)

(I'm afraid I don't, Everything I make just looks too...not right.)



Four times bigger. Any better?

Not really. I'd be much happier if you could draw a human or something that maybe turns into a fairy later.

Do you see this? Right here? This is what makes me know that your able to do it.

For serious, all I did to get the sizes about right, copy Shuri's image, paste into paint, make changes, go.

I HAD MY SUSPICIONS.

Suspicions correct, but it's a good way of keeping things looking relatively nice and neat.

Sure why not. I'm game. :3
