New York University: A Crossover Roleplaying Game for Original Characters

| New York University |
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
its not a question but a lesson learned in time


“A tradition of excellence. A legacy of innovation.” New York University is by far one of the most distinguished and notable institutions of higher learning in the United States. Centered right in the heart of New York City, Greenwich Village, studying at New York University does not just pit you in the hands of the school, but of the entire city itself.

Students of New York University don’t just prepare for life during their four year stay, they embark on a new life the second they step foot on the expansive campus. Vibrant and lively, NYU is constantly changing, constantly evolving, and naturally it encourages its students to do the same. Consisting of a total of fourteen colleges and Universities, NYU offers something for everyone and it’s wide variety of educational majors draws in people from all over the world.

While our story centers around the students involved vigorously in their studies at NYU, it’s main focus is their lives, and how both the school and the city weave their ways in and out of their lives. When you live in the city that never sleeps and you study at one of the finest and most reputable of institutions in the world, life never stands still, and more importantly, the people never stand still.

This story is about the relationships and the connections formed during college. It’s about the keg parties and the sororities. It’s about the classes and the professors. It’s about friends, and lovers, and adversaries. It’s about the ups and the downs, the heartaches, the challenges, and the changes. It’s about the good and the bad, the right and the wrong, the mistakes and the opportune chances sometimes taken and sometimes not.

Most importantly, it’s about life, and the choices that come with it.

Its something unpredictable
but in the end is right
I hope you have the time of your life


Additional Information:
The inspiration behind this game was always to bring back characters from previous games that have gone defunct that we enjoyed playing in the past. People are not limited to bringing back old characters, so if anyone wants to create brand spankin' new characters, feel free to do so. This is also a bit of a sandbox game. I won't necessarily be organizing "events" for all characters to attend. Any events I suggest in the first post will be entirely optional as the whole city is pretty much at our disposal.

Rules:
- I won't enforce a boy/girl rule unless I notice we are getting a larger ratio of one over the other.
- This is a mature game. Mature things will happen (Yes, I borrowed that from Mandy!)
- Death happens in life. If you feel like abandoning a character, let us know and we may be able to arrange something fantastically tragic to happen to them.

Name: Blair Macklin
Age: Nineteen
Previous RPG: The New Years Party
Year: Second
Major: Urban Design and Architecture Studies, minoring in Metropolitan Studies.
Personality: Self-indulgent, impulsive, cavalier, dynamic, aesthetic.
Five Fast Facts:
* Trust fund kid, through and through. Armed with the usual accessories: fancy car, designer clothes, entitled attitude, privilege in excess and distant yet perpetually demanding refrigerator parents.
* Though a life-long lover of the arts—particularly photography and sculpture— ‘so this is our son, he plays with cameras and clay for a living’ wasn’t particularly savory to mom and dad so architecture is as close as he’s been permitted to come to playing with cameras and clay. Aside from dabbling, because wealthy people are expected to have frivolous hobbies.
* Has a propensity for spontaneous and stupid decision making. Fortunately coming from old, highly influential money means his arrests never stuck, as NYU’s admission board likely wouldn’t have looked too kindly upon convictions including grand theft auto, public indecency, and possession with intent to sell.
* Might have a little problem saying the word ‘no’ to anything remotely resembling an adventure. Or any new experience whatsoever.
* As a result, can’t maintain a relationship worth a damn. Sure, he might’ve technically promised exclusivity to whatever flavor of the month—but what sensible guy could turn down a threesome with twins? Identical twins. From Macau. What novelty.

I've lost contact with most of my Players peeps, otherwise I bet we could have gotten even more to come back.

I will probably only stick with my two for now unless more inspiration comes to me or anyone has a request for me to bring back one of my old characters.

It is a shame that people from the past few years aren't still posting here.

Wish that we could get some new people here posting as well.

Spot, of course. But I'm not sure who I'd be bringing back. Hm.

EM. JUMPS ON YOU!

Most of the people I still am somewhat still in touch with have lives. Not to say we don't have lives, but they are just always busy. I've completely lost touch with some other people though which makes me sad ...

On a completely random note: all of my Players 1 characters were absolutely dreadful and I don't think I could ever bring myself to rewrite them.

I think I have Sibby and... Robs (Dimaranwen?) added on FB but I never talk to them. Sad. Wish they'd come back. Le sigh.

Guess this is another excuse to troll through all my old RPs and see if I liked any of my characters enough to bring back. In a university life setting, of course.

Sibby and Robs (Robin) are my facebook friends as well though we don't really talk either. We used to comment all the time on Live Journal back in the day too, except I haven't used my Live Journal in years.

I actually have an archive of all the Players threads and a couple of other random games I've been in on my Live Journal so I intend to go through some of my old characters as well and see if there's anyone else I'd want to bring back.

I play in too many supernatural style games. None of my oldies fit here.

Just pick one of your supernatural characters and pretend it's an alternate universe.

You're terrible which might be one of the reasons I like you so much.

Do it.

I don't see why this game can't have a supernatural aspect to it.

I'm telling you, you can easily fit some of your Nevado Joe characters into this game. They can either be on a "sabatical"/vacation or ... I will volunteer one of my characters to find out the hard way that supernatural creatures exist in the world.
