  1. Thoughts from someone who dove into this fully, almost two years ago. Played CoH from the start (live) and played a lot of Homecoming, but was a casual RPer. Then finally went in deep. Crystal Dragon's list is great. I'll add: Look for RP mission groups. Sometimes just a little chat between and in missions will get you a connection. TAXI-4000 is my fav transit base. Pocket D is good, but sometimes hard to make longer term connections. Clubs are good but can get very loud (lots of conversations overlapping). Consider changing your "/listenrange" to something below 50. Bartenders at clubs can be a good source of information. Dance floor is often a "group dance" ("The dance shape" as it is sometimes called). Have your ID/description filled out, including the fact that you are interested in RP. Some hooks in your backstory can sometimes lead to discussion points. As I was told many years ago on the Live RP forums: Don't be too pushy. Start casual. Day-to-day type stuff that might go on in your character's life. Work school..."my super-suit still smells like the sewers". Bring a story - you may have to drive conversation or prompt questions about yourself. Most of all, good luck, have fun. Welcome to our crazy corner of the internet.
  2. written with American Valor PCU-Stone-Craft Pizza Tori gathered up her things and pocketed her phone and headed across the quad with Max. As the two walked Max checked Tori out again it was second habit to him he did it without thinking twice. She had a strong tomboy vibe going on similar to J-Tom a little less fat if that was possible, mostly as she put it flat chested, Jenn wasn't much bigger both woman were very athletically built. "So for the record Jenn is Irish, and has a very mean right hook. I mean if we were an item then I bet you punch out anybody who challenged your claim, not that I'm claimed or anything" Max said still smiling. Tori chuckled. “Max, you have to understand. I fight for a few very specific reasons.” She holds up her fingers as she counts them off. “First, to protect people. Second, to defend myself. And third, for fun and challenge. And that third one is a distant third, but I do like testing my skills.” She looks Max over. “Plus, if we were dating and someone was hitting on you, then I’d hope for a three-some.” She turned and continued walking, trying to stay casual. She tried to keep a straight face as she dropped that bomb, but her face cracked and she grinned and giggled. She pulled the door to Stone Craft Pizza open, still grinning Max chuckled as he entered he paused, "You pick the cheerleader, I'll make it happen. Max said with a smirk and wink at Tori. She just laughed as they entered.
  3. Tori just sighed at the circus that was Max and his entourage. Tori waited as they sorted things out. “Me? Oh, I’m free for a while.” She stopped, wondering if that was going to trigger more reaction. “I’m just going to go chill out on the quad. Nice day to sit outside." She packed up her things and started to slip away. "See you all later." Tori really wanted to talk to Max about things - see if he had any update on the stuff they were looking into. She gave a glance back to see if he'd follow. Tori wandered out of class, taking her time down the hallway to allow Max to catch up if he wanted. A mass of students poured out of a large lecture hall and she ducked into a little alcove to avoid the mass. She glanced at a bulletin board with various notes on it. Activities notifications, clubs, tutors for hire…and models wanted for art classes. “Huh.” She said out loud as she pulled out her phone and scanned the QR code on the add. They probably wanted the classic curvy woman’s body, which she was not. Tori looked down at herself; flat-chested and straight. More built like a guy. People always joked about her ‘man shoulders’ and bouncing a quarter off her abs. Not sure the art department would want that but couldn’t hurt to apply. Once the crowd had passed she wandered out to the quad. Finding a comfy bench under the shade of a tree, she started filling out the online application.
  4. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class Tori closed her laptop and stretched. Stuffing the laptop in her bag she stood up as Max came over with his entourage. “Weekend was…uh, good. Busy.” Tori returned John’s nod and was just about to give Max a hug when Jenn slipped into the way. Tori couldn’t help but grin at Jenn’s strategic move to claim Max as hers. Grinning she wondered if Jenn was going to pee on his leg to mark her territory, as well. Jenn was very pretty, Tori noted, and definitely was Taking Jenn’s hand, Tori shook it with a grip a little more firm than necessary. “Nice to meet you Jenn.” She said, smiling, then looked back to Max “Nice win this weekend. What poor shmucks are you going to roll over next?”
  5. Click the "Powers" tab on your power tray. Scroll down to inherrent (on the right of the window). There is a "Walk" power. Drag it onto your power bar. That should probably be asked in a different forum than Roleplaying but I guess it works here as well as any.
  6. Tori sighed. “Of course Alex. Just between you and I.” She gives him a reassuring smile and nod. “Guess we should pay attention to class though. But if you ever need help with this material let me know.” Tori settled in and listened, continuing to take notes on her laptop. She also pulled up hero alerts as she often did. She kept an eye on gang activity, especially in the Row and any further news about the Outcasts in Steel Canyon and near campus.
  7. Tori scoffed at Alex’s offer to get invites to Max’s parties. “Alex, if I needed an invite to Max’s parties, I’d just ask him myself.” She let that sink in. “Yeah, I know, I don’t look like the typical floozy that hangs around Max. I’m not.” She gave a wry grin. “But I do know him. Much to the chagrin of his…other female friends.” Tori continued to take notes, resisting correcting the professor based on her real-world knowledge. “Alex, it is admirable that you work so hard at football. I do the same with…uh, some stuff. But you gotta have a life too.” She shrugs. “But hope you can get your shot.”
  8. I also could have sworn there was a guide posted somewhere that I had read. Maybe someone else can find it. Or maybe it was on City of Roleplay Discord.
  9. No worries about the questions! Please, better to ask. Also ViciousCabaret had some good additional suggestions as well that I forgot about. Yes, in character as much as possible. Lots of people speak in character normal or with quotes "This is in character" and use some indicator when speaking OOC Examples: ((This is OOC)) [[This is OOC]] <This is OOC> So once you get into Pocket D near the portal (not the elevators from blue or red side the glowy portal thing). Most evenings (EST is the basis) there will be someone standing there broadcasting (usually in various chats and I'm blanking at what they are called now because I am at work). They are basically a (usually) low level bot that just tells you that the club is open, the hours, and the name. Right click --> Description should give you a base passcode. Click on the portal and enter that passcode and it will transport you to the base entrance. Some take a little walking to get inside but it is usually pretty obvious.
  10. Starts to say about a dozen things…stops. I’m assuming you mean in-game? Rather than forum RP (e.g. Paragon University thread). Start on Everlast. Unofficial RP server. Not required but I’ve found it to be the most active RP scene (but also haven’t checked all servers). #1 Location: Pocket D. Lots of people with “Roleplaying” colored tag. Look at their “Description” to make sure they are willing to talk to walk-ups. Hang around the Blueside upper bar. #2: Clubs. Almost every night a club is advertised. There will be criers in Pocket D (near the portal). Go to the club, listen to the music link. Try to talk to people. Bartenders are a captive audience. Even greeters are good to ask things (depending on the club). Listen and observe for a bit to get the feel for it. Get out there and dance; many times there is a large blob of people dancing. Get in there, react, ask questions, introduce yourself. Some RPers are very inviting and friendly (but sadly not all of them). #3: RP friendly SGs. This can be risky until you get a feel for things. But it can get you introduced to people. #4: Discord. Many of the clubs have a discord server (and City of Roleplay as well). Again, listen and get the feel. Then participate. Good luck. Also, hopefully I don't get beat up too bad for giving my opinions on this because everyone has a different way.
  11. Tori chuckled at “tight end” a little bit. “I’m sure you do.” Tori wasn’t much of a football fan, but her dad was and so she’d picked up a fair amount of the game. The professor droned on about various types of chimeric human-animal combinations, also known as ‘moreaus’. Tori knew so many cat-girls, fox-girls, rat-people, and even a monkey man, that she just saw them all as ‘people.’ Why all the distinctions and separations between chimerics and werefolk? Still partially paying attention and typing into her laptop, she continued to chat with Alex. “Well that’s cool. You get some time to learn and get some experience. Plus I’m sure there’s other perks too.” She raised her eyebrows at him, indicating the women near Max. “Get a chance at some of the castoffs.” She chuckled as she kidded Alex. Poor guy was living in a big shadow and likely had to put up with everyone worshipping Max and ignoring him. Tori realized she probably wasn’t helping either so decided to change the subject. “So what do you do when you aren’t working out for football or going to class?” *If he says go to parties, drink, and pick up girls, I am going to have to punch him.* Tori thought to herself, grinning and hoping Alex wasn’t that shallow.
  12. Tori had to chuckle a bit at Alex. Poor kid wasn’t sure what to do. She wondered how he reacted when a girl that was actually pretty and curvy talked to him. “Nice to meet you Alex, I’m Tori.” She gave him a smile. Knowing the syntax of the university email system Tori sent Alex her notes from the class so far. “There you go, notes sent. So Young, #3, what position do you play and do you get to play regularly?”
  13. PCU - Metahuman Studies Class Tori took notice of the late arrivals. She hadn’t seen Max in a couple days and needed to catch up with him on stuff. She smiled and gave a little wave that was dampened when she saw one of the cute girls with him give her a scowl. She wasn’t sure where that was coming from, but clearly the curvy, popular cheerleader types didn’t like the boyish, flat-chested, muscle-girl interacting with their property. She shrugged and went back to her laptop to take notes. Tori didn’t know Alex but saw that they had gotten bumped from the ‘cool kid’ crowd. She leaned over toward Alex and whispered. “You want the notes from the first part of class? I can shoot you those and you can share them with Max as well.”
  14. ((Sorry, been RL busy so trying to catch back up.)) After the weekend spent mostly training with Krys, Tori was less than excited to head back to class. But the alarm sounded early, and she went through her routine starting with a workout and some combat training. The weight room was sparsely populated on a Monday morning so she got things done quickly and in peace. She had noted that the football team had won and was happy for Max. He’d likely had his share of ‘fun’ over the weekend. After shower she rushed to her Metahuman Studies class, sneaking in a couple minutes late.
