ABOUT TIME, some of you will say ;D Howdy everyone, I am Neo...some of you know me from Deviant Art ( neo53.deviantart.com), some from LJ communities and even fewer of you know me from the Revved Forward RPGs. I am ECSTATIC to be here finally. I had to get jabbed by our dearest Volksdragon in the right direction for me to get here, but...VOILA! Found all y'all  For right now I will be entering with just ONE character ( www.hillbillyhell.proboards103.com/index.cgi?board=profiles&action=display&thread=1189569311), Odamoqui. Glad to be here and looking forward to saying hello to everyone |

Well, I can make a short description of the two RPs I'm in: - Swept Away:Some 800 humans survived the end of their world in an underground compound and were transfered to the Cars world by some alien device kept for generations by the family of the leader of the group. We're currently about one day before the medias come and shows the humans to the rest of the world. (OOC discussion) (Actual roleplay - Part 7) (Archived parts)
- Hillbilly Hell:Suppose the forum was an actual place, a mansion where we all live... what would it be like? We play ourselves as well as our characters. Right now, we're preparing for a party. (OOC Discussion) (Actual roleplay)
Well these are the ones I'm in, there must be some other pretty fun ones, it's just that I don't have time to follow them all  . Welcome in Hillbilly Hell... where your IQ drops by the second ;D ! |

Eeeek.. ~reads both threads~ Hmm...damn. Both are rather advanced in play/discussion, squeezing in might be a trick....but I would try and slip into Hillbilly Hell if anything, as it seems to be a good start.
Imagine if you will - A girl on her truck, enjoying themselves for the first time in a while, off-roading, getting their minds off of their troubles...stumbling into the mansion in the middle of the woods right in the middle of a luau.
~snerks~ I dunno yet ~scratches the back of her head in thought~ I haven't RPed anything except Revved Forward in a decade...LOL Damn, I am rusty outside of "my normal" xD I dunno...what do you think?
Or, maybe I should be intelligent for more than a second and jump on the OOC ~laughs, wiping a tear~ ;D

Your idea for the Hillbilly Hell RP looks awesome! And where is this "Revved Forward" thing?
And about Swept Away... yes the story has pretty much advanced, but we made it so it's easy to add characters. There are about 800 humans in the compound, there are some 780 of them we've not heard about, if you know what I mean. Same for the cars, one may have come across Ash Mountain (the compound is in a huge mountain in the middle of nowhere that's covered in ash) and wondered what was that place.
You can join whatever RP you want ^^ and check the other ones too!

I am trying to jump into Treasure Hunt...they might need someone with intimate knowledge of the East Coast ~sniggers~ Odie knows every square inch, on and off-road ;D
Hmm...Swept away....hmmmmmm....Dang, might take me a while to read through everything and get an idea in gear...but who knows. I have an idea, but need to read everything first so it doesn't conflict with the story so-far :x

Whoo! XD Now I can say I know you from /two/ forums.
Also, disregard my recent comment on your DA, I didn't notice you'd joined before I commented. XD

Swept Away just had a new infusion of humans from another site in the ruined earth. There's been some crossover with the introduction of an OC native to Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber universe, so he can actually do some limited cross-timeline journeying and take a small number of people with him. That brings the population closer to about a thousand, with perhaps 600 people in the "childbearing age" bracket if teens are counted. More info in the brainstorming section.
Here are the informal guidelines that have evolved for RP life in the HH Carsverse:
- Vehicles can reproduce in the usual "biological" way, but have the option of bringing the child to term "self-contained" or having the fertilized matrix extracted and matured in a factory. Depends how much discomfort and personal inconvenience the mother is prepared to put up with.
- The car companies of our world are mirrored by clans and lineages in the Carsverse, with many different septs (divisions) within each clan. Certain surnames are generally, but not always associated with certain dominant clans/family houses. For example, Weathers, MacIsaac and Colbert are surnames associated with the Plymouth clan. McQueen is a Ford sept, though outcrosses do occur. The clan leadership administer services such as basic health care, support networks, some social services, and arbitration for their members.
- Now and then, "Throwbacks" or "Post-models" are born. Both class names are applied to youngsters born with an "old" model configuration, except "Post-model" technically applies to those born within ten years of the "official" year for a model. For example, a baby born into the world as a '57 Chevy to later-model parents would be a throwback, though the designation is not considered polite or PC in enlightened circles which prefer "retrokid" or "neo-classic". A child born as a '98 model in 2007 would fall within the ten-year window to be considered "post-model".
- Mixes are generally referred to as "off-model", or more rudely, as "mutts".
- Aircraft generally have sharper senses of smell and hearing than ground vehicles, and have superior distance and night vision, though their vision goes from color to monochrome when they deploy either, but the distance vision is extremely detailed. They need these senses, they're vulnerable on the ground and this improves their chances for survival. Airplanes tend to be more individualistic than helicopters, who have more of a heirarchal pack mentality. This occasionally leads to social tensions, but seldom outright hostility.
Again, these are evolved traditions and conventions, not rules, and not meant to be taken as such.

Revved Forward is an RPG that was established in 1996. It is a Knight Rider, Team Knight Rider, Transformer (very seldom, but they are allowed into the RPG chapters) and Farscape crossover type of thing. It is ran on AIM, eMail and Public chat daily. I help run it, and keep Genetics and Family Trees UTD. Its a great RPG, almost anything goes...and there is something for everyone. Even those who dont want to be a car, plane, ship or motorcycle. Some are in it for the genetics, some for the RP, some for racing, some for character development....and really...its endless. There are about 10 chapters. Each chapter usually takes place somewhere else, but all are connected and characters can move from one to the other. Chapters are defined by the type of RPG or what time line it takes place. The most active are the TRS, CCB and Neon Street chapters. TRS takes place 50 years in the future from today's date. CCB is for those who like to show and work with genetics and Neon Streets is street racing. Other Chapters are offshoots of these main chapters, except the Leviathan chapter, which is the same as CCB but deals with Spaceships (called Leviathans....reeks of Farscape much? LOL) Its fun. But a bit more complicated than RPing here or on any message board as you have to keep your own records, logs, genealogies (although I keep them UTD in my archive) and...bleh. Brain is failing. LOL The vehicles are Bio-Mechanoids, generally called "Leve-Types", half machine half organic. They look like normal vehicles until you talk to them, or deside to stab them ~laughs~ They breed bio-mechanically... DNAD (DNA Data) is transfered via binary code to the female, where her Thoruosis System translates and uses the code to "build" a new life :3 There are different types of Leve-types... Leviathan Type I - Atmosphere-going plane Leviathan Type II - Space-going plane/ship Livithian - Car-types Levethenian - Sea-going ships Levethian - Motorcycle-type trs2001.homestead.com/Dictionary.htmlIts fun |

Don't worry about trying to slip into the Hillbilly Hell RP- just have yourself show up and we'll work you in. Just in time for the party... Beware the insanity ahead.
Welcome!
