Example Sample RPs

As part of the application, we ask that you give us a sample scene that would hopefully inspire roleplay among the other players. This is for us to gauge how well you can work without any prompts from the admin.

Because you are creating a scene in a void, it is preferrable to pose in such a way that the reader cannot be sure who else is there, so that other players can decide that they are present if they wish. Sometimes two players can work out details of a scene ahead of time and so can assume something about the location of another character; this is fine, but if you're going to do this, please indicate that you are aware that this 'scene-starter' post would require prior permission from another player.

To help our applicants, the admin have provided several sample RP beginnings to give people a feel of what we're looking for. Please do not copy-paste then change the names and submit these. We know what we wrote and will recognize it.

Silverbolt

Silverbolt walks into the lounge, mentally reviewing his to-do list for today: avoid Slingshot's efforts to abduct him for high-altitude training, avoid Skydive's attempts to help Slingshot, avoid Jetfire at all costs, and maybe get a little time in on the shooting range. He waves at Powerglide in passing and ambles over to the energon dispenser. He stops before he grabs a cube and leans to the side a little bit. "I see you there, Fireflight. Come out."

Kup

Kup ambles into the room and absently moves from spot to spot, occasionally pausing as he scratches his head and seems to stare up at the walls. Has the old man finally gone senile? Finally, in one of the back corners, he grunts. "Ah-hah!" he booms as he pulls open a panel. A close look will show that this panel is beneath one of the security cameras. "Dammit!" he says, tapping a bared wire. "Glitch mice! No matter how good the traps are, seems they always manage to get into things..." As the elder mech pulls out his datapad and begins entering in a trouble-call, he continues speaking, "Why, I remember this one time on Centurian Five..."

Blitzwing

Blitzwing stalks into the room, fists clenched and a snarl on his face. Conspicuosly painted in black across his wings is the message: "Astrotrain was here. And Blitzwing still owes me two cannisters of energon. Remind him about it." He scans the room, doesn't find who he's looking for, and growls at the nearest person, "You! Where the frag is Astrotrain?"

Rodimus Prime

Rodimus Prime strides into the room dro- no, dribbling a Transformer sized basketball before him. He smiles brightly at the Autobots he passes, ignoring any disproving looks that may come from any of his more hide-bound elders. Then he shouts, "Foxfire, think fast!" and suddenly bounces the ball in the saboteur's direction. It's only after he does this it occurs to him that a bouncing ball sized for a Transformer might still run a little large for a tape.

Crossroads (OC)

Crossroads steps into the room, dripping wet. She's leaving big soggy footsteps behind her, and she smells distinctly of saltwater. One of her shoulder-mounted weapons has been ripped off, and her armor is looking a little squeezed. She scans the room, smiling hopefully, and then her face practically lights up as she spots her target. "Scrapper! Can I have tentacles, too?"
