Title: Hello
Post by: Tobias86 on August 10, 2011, 12:12:58 PM
My name is Billy,I can't tell you my last name or where I live, they're out there. :P

Anyway I'm 24 years old and first started reading the Animorphs series when I was in fifth grade. Of course now with them being re-released I'm reading through them again. I've been thinking about the book series and the TV series and was thinking if they get as popular as they once were instead of a live action series they should do an Anime, this way they could get a lot more of the stuff in the books into the show and the more violent parts. What do you guys think?

<Hello and welcome!  I'm DinosaurNothlit, RAF's resident Ankylosaur/Tyrannosaur mixed-morph nothlit.  Nice to meet you!  Hmm, Animorphs re-done as an anime?  That could work.  Actually, the concept sounds familiar, as though someone here on this forum had brought up the possibility before.  But hey, great minds think alike, right?>

Thank you guys. I must have had a short attention span when I was a kid I only remember reading like 6 of the 66 books lol. but now that I'm re-reading them I've read the first seven of the regular series and currently reading Megamorphs 1. Question about the role playing section? How exactly does it work? I'm familiar with Wrestling Efed role playing and I've role played on a Marvel comics and Supernatural RP site, so does someone just pick one certain character to play?

<Well, the exact rules sorta vary roleplay by roleplay, but the general idea is that a roleplay is basically a story where each person writes one character.  It can be a character taken from a pre-existing book or comic or TV show or movie, or it can be a character that you just make up.  Again, that can vary by roleplay, with some roleplays being canon-characters-only and some being original-characters-only, but most allow a mixture of the two.  Does that answer your question?>

Kind of but I mean how does it specifically work on here? Do we choose an animorph character or is it more broad?

<Again, depends on the roleplay.  We have an entire section dedicated to "Animorphs Role Playing," and if you join one of those, yes, you'd typically play a character based within the Animorphs universe, but then we also have a "General Role Playing" section which is much more broad.  There are pretty much no restrictions on what kind of character you play in the General section, so long as you stay within the guidelines of the individual thread (for example playing a Marvel character within a Harry Potter roleplay might be frowned upon), and you don't power-play or god-mod or anything.>

Now I have to go, I don't invite you for the meal, sorry. *Beginning to go down dark stairs. Tob86 can hear a cry coming from the cave.*
Have fun!
*Dameg disappears into the darkness, Tob86 is now alone in the hallway*
