Hi there. I'm BloodyPicard. I don't have much role play experience but I'm up to date with the Gantz manga. I'm very excited to be a part of this and I hope I can pick this up without difficulty. I've already been reading the rules, mechanics, and some missions too to get an idea. I think I'm going to start working on my character tonight. Oh and I found this site from another one that died and had a post with the link. I used to lurk around there years ago. Well I hope to have lots of fun.
See ya!

Currently the only region that is openly accepting characters is Osaka during our little event "The Dotonbori Massacre". Hawaii and NYC regions currently are mid hunt. I was looking for a means to vent my gantz obsession in between the long wait for phase 3 to complete. I remembered about the RP just recently and did some searching around, now I'm here. Funny how things work out. Thanks for leading me here haha. I am a little confused about how pacing works inbetween mod posts and how interactions between characters plays out. Doesn't seem that complicated though but If I can't figure it out I'll drop you a PM. I'll join Osaka tonight then. I was gonna join New York because I suck thinking up Japanese names but Osakas my favorite anyway. Thanks for your help.

The pacing works like this. Mod posts the intro to the ball room. Players take stuff and interact. Mod then beams out players on map. Thus, each player needs to post asap so the mod can thus post the update. Updates mostly are the attacking aliens or them dying. Then the mission ends, get points, do daily lives, rinse, lather, repeat.
Oh and god modding is a NO NO. GModing basically means that you control the alien's reations as well as other players. You can't just go and immidiatly shoot everything dead. You could shoot or attempt to dodge, but not blow up or dodge something flawlessly with out a mod intervention.

Thats what I was specifically confused about. I don't understand how players interact. I can't say what their doing but I can react to their post and say things to them. Make observations and post simple tasks like searching the room and grabbing equipment?

You can only control the actions of your character and your NPCs. This does not include things such as wether you are hit by an attack or not. This does not apply to obvious things. For example, if somebody shoots at you point blank in the face with a S&W .350 while you're not wearing your suit, you WILL die. If you need any guidance, read the posts of some of our players. Especially the ones written by me. Because I'm awesome. On a second note, welcome to the forums and I hope you create a character in Hawaii and NYC as well

I'm not very good at picking out Japanese names either. Usually I just steal a few from anime I like and combine them into something different if that helps.
And welcome to the forum I like your enthusiasm. Hope you enjoy yourself here!

I was looking for a means to vent my gantz obsession in between the long wait for phase 3 to complete. Haha, that's why I got interested in Gantz RPing again. Welcome, wlecome, good to know you. Hope you enjoy it here. I like Reborn! too.
