This is the Backstage thread for my new RP "Hood," the neo-noir re-imagining of the classic Robin Hood legend. This is the place where we will discuss important plot points, and you can ask questions about the story.

I will also post various bits of information that might help the story along, so it'd be a good idea to keep an eye on this thread.

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]I looked it up, and the proper spelling is Marian. Or Lady Marian Fitzwalter of Leaford if you prefer.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]I've decided to start the RP without Sheriff and Gisbon for now. If no-one has signed up as either character by the time they are introduced, then we'll continue with them as NPCs.

The opening thread is up [B][URL="http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?p=837432#post837432"]here[/URL] [/B]and it contains details of what everyone needs to do. However, just for clarity's sake, I'll list them here:
[/FONT]
[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]- Jason: using intimidation to get information from Nottingham soldiers regarding facility locations, numbers of guards and levels of security etc.
- Scarlet: acquisition of weaponry, both small and large-scale, though whatever means necessary.
- Allen: reconaissance of high-ranking Nottingham officials - locations, personal details etc.
- Tucker: using his religious associations to get information from high-ranking Nottingham officials directly.
- Marian: attend secret meeting with Robert to discuss options for what she can do to help.

[size=1]This is looking great, DeLarge :] Finally an RPG on here I'm interested in. It's been some time. Considering I usually like villains more, I'll be more than happy to sign up as Joseph Sheriff. I'm just curious how much freedom we have with designing these characters. I see you said it was noir-esque, so I can't help but imagine something of a mix between Gotham City, V For Vendetta, and Sin City. Is that your idea or what? Haha.

I just want to know before I make anything up that's inappropriate to your thorough idea.[/size]

[DeLarge]

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Great to see you're interested, DW! You can have as much freedom as you like when creating the character - the only limitations I put on it are that Sheriff should be around middle age, fairly ruthless and the head of Nottingham Corporation. Other than that, you're free to go mad with it!

Out of the influences you listed, I'd say V for Vendetta is the kind of thing I'm looking for - still noir-esque but more grounded in reality than Sin City and I suppose a little less dark than Gotham. One of the main things I'm looking for in this RP is a decent splash of dark humour (and that point goes for everyone involved).

So create the character and whack it up in the Auditions - if there's anything "inappropriate" as you put it then I'll let you know.

Nice to have you on board!

[size=1]Oh, excellent :] Just what I like to hear. Haha. Alright, that sounds good. I'll get to developing the character now and have it up by the end of the day, if not sooner. I am all too familiar with dark humor ;][/size]

[SIZE="1"][COLOR="SlateGray"]Hey, this RPG is definitely one of the better ideas I've seen in a while and I was wondering if I could still toss a sign-up for the character Guy of Gisbourne?

What I'm wondering is how sadistic, or crazy you're wanting him to be? Ruthless, as well, I'm assuming?[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Absolutely, my friend. The only limitations I'm putting on this character are that he is Sheriff's chief of security, and is a cold, sadistic figure. So I'm not looking for crazy, so much, but the more sadistic the better. And yes, a good healthy dollop of ruthlessness is perfect.

Thanks for the interest!

[size=1]Oh shoot. I was just telling Dragon Warrior I was going to have a shot at applying for Guy. Hm, well, I'll just go ahead and try to write up the first original character then.

[b]edit:[/b] I realised the character of Owen the Welshman stars in the 1934 Errol Flynn film of Robin Hood as captain of the archers in the archery competition. Actually the guy was the captain for the Duke of Lancaster and was serving in France, but no one cares about those details right? Everyone knows the 1934 version is what all versions should be based on!

So, if its okay, I wouldn't mind being this "captain of the archers" for Nottingham Corp. Owen Welsh sounds modern enough and all.[/size]

[FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]Sounds great, Boo. The Errol Flynn version is indeed the ultimate adaptation, so I'm happy to have any references to it within this RP.

Also, just to let everyone know, Dragon Warrior is signing up as two separate characters. This has been approved by me, due to the fact that Joseph Sheriff (his first character) is more of a "behind-the-scenes" character - with this second character, he'll be within the action a little more. So don't get all freaked out when his sign-up appears.

[COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]Crap. I posted my (as of yet) incomplete sign-up before I read this thread. Should I change my sign-up to a new character, seeing as slipheedpilot seems to have sort of reserved Guy Gibson?[/COLOR]

[COLOR=Black][FONT=Lucida Sans Unicode]If you could, that would be great. If, like Boo, you could use a character from Robin Hood and adapt them to be part of this new universe that would be great. If you can't find one you want to use, then create a brand new character that fits within the world.[/FONT][/COLOR]
