They can be to people on the ship, people from the past or people you hope to meet.  Others can comment on your letters, or try to guess who they're about!

Have (good clean) fun!

Hey guys! I'm mocking up a Character Sheet for the Trans9 TV Tropes page, and figured this would be the best way to get everyone involved!

1. Post your character name and some TV Tropes you think are associated with them (you can add comments, context, quotes, etc.)
2. Tag other people's characters with any Trope you think they might have missed!

Example: Punchy
-Ascended Fanboy/The Team Wannabe: started as the latter, becoming the former
-Bunny-Ears Lawyer: with hacking and programming
-Jumped at the Call
-Playful Hacker
-Plucky Comic Relief
-Pretty Fly for a White Guy
-Workaholic

GO FORTH AND TROPE!

Note: please limit tropes to personality traits or actions made during the game, rather than in the characters' canons.

We've been having a lot of fun playing Apples to Apples ICly lately, but there's one problem: The standard deck really kind of sucks for in-character games. As such, I have here a custom list that has removed a lot of words people had trouble working with (mostly sports teams and celebrities) and has added in a bunch of words that make it more fun (places on the ship, a few character names, etc).

If anyone has any suggestions to add, post them here and we can have a nice big list of CUSTOM TRANS9 NOUNS to use. \o/

oh god I hope I'm doing this right. /)_(\

I know we've had a lot of love stuff going around, so here's one more to add to the pile!

HATSUKOI ~First Love~

Post your threads here and have fun!

Time to give a little love, you guys. And by that, I mean:

ROLEPLAY LOVE MEME

_{It's February, so why not spread some love early? Post who you love, what games make you smile, or post your own journals for a pick-me-up. Posting your own threads is encouraged and welcomed in this meme, so please don't hesitate!}

It's Transmigration 9 Studios. No, the name doesn't make any sense, except that the owner, Stacy, has owned eight studios before this and they've all crashed and burned. Which feels so great for the actors and their sense of job security, let me tell you.

As soon as they're done with their scenes, the characters stop playing their roles and make it real. The scripts are tossed aside, and they can relax now that the cameras are off of them.

What does this mean? Well, perhaps Billy is an actual college graduate, who is disgusted with the scientific inaccuracies and techspeak mumbo-jumbo of his character. Perhaps Kang is a fit Japanese man in a rubber dragon suit. Maybe Renne is a former theater actor that speaks with a posh English accent? Who knows, perhaps Nehaa is a conservative Catholic who finds her role as a stripperiffic space goat horrifying! And it might an ongoing joke off-screen that Leon can't fight for shit, Steve's actor stands in for him during action scenes.

Just roll with it, guys, it's better than my first idea of the night.

It's the weekend, so what is it time to do?

PARTY HARD

This meme is simple. Pick a party game. Here is a pretty good list. In the mood for Duck Duck Goose? Beer Pong? Hitting a pinata? Pin the Tail on the JulianDonkey? Mafia/Werewolf? Spin the Bottle? Truth or Dare? There's even a Twister mat out there!

Make a post. Get some friends/other characters. Play! And thus, memes are born.

I'd suggest keeping things small, to make it easier on the other players. Don't be afraid to have multiple games running at once, y'all! But one rule, try to keep things worksafe.

For the adults who don't feel like that, well. There's another meme for you guys. Perverts.

The Sensoriums are empty. Everyone's working, you should be nice and alone. You grin to yourself, conjuring a hardwood floor, and a set of stairs.

You grab an object. Could be a wand, a sword, a feather duster, a candlestick. You don't give a shit. You don a loose shirt, a nice set of underwear, and some socks (for those of you who can wear socks).

Finally, you push everything on the stereo all the way to the max. As the piano music starts up, you slide into the doorway.

You're dancing. You're grooving. Hell, you might even be singing.

But part-way into your routine, you realize the horrible truth.

You're not alone. Someone is watching you.

Who is it? What will you do?

Man, the sounds. The smells. The music. The booze. The crime. The Depression. The Prohibition.

Yessir, the Roaring Twenties were a hell of a time. Your characters get to experience it as well! Everyone is now living in the 1920s, in a bustling metropolis, with no real influence from some strange meatship. Their former lives now reflect their new ones.

A character that was a security officer on board might find themselves as a detective on the police force. Someone who used to be a superhero, punching their problems away, might find themselves as some sort of cop, sports star, boxing champ, or even just a kneebreaker on the streets. Someone who used to sing might be a sensation, or just another nightengale crooning in the smokey speakeasies, as people kick back and enjoy their illegal alcohol. A scientist might be a mad chemist, or even something from the pulps. Who knows?

All that's for sure is that they're here now, living the life they can. Will they run into one another? Will they live their lives apart?

That's for you to decide.

Have fun.
