RP-Mods aka The Handlers

Handlers are the group of RP-Mods who will act as my proxies spread out across the rp forums to carry out various tasks I've set for them. Their decisions are to be respected unless proven otherwise. And as such I wish to have volunteers who feels that they have what it takes to handle the tasks I would expect of them. The below are the list of things I want from a possible Handler.

1. Creativity and able to post longer detailed posts in response to rper's posts. An individual must also think not only creatively but be able to entertain his/her audience/rpers participating in the missions you've assigned to mod.

2. You are responsible for creating a side quest smaller missions for members up to 4 can participate unless you've created a mission that can fit little more people, I will give you permission to bend this rule to see fit. First come first serve basis, you post the mission and wait for people to take interest in the mission you've created and allow them to show interest in your side rp mission by posting their approval of participation. Once the set amount of people have joined the rp you are responsible for taking them through the mission by posting as various characters such as awakened beings, yoma, humans to tell them and the audience the consequence of the RPer's actions. I am trusting you all to take full responsibility by allowing you to have a say in their creation's fates whether it be ill or good. In doing so however I am not giving you the permission to kill off a character at your will, this is not allowed unless given permission by the RPer. You are free to say how damaged a character is, but you cannot say they are injured beyond repair or ultimately their death. I realize that I am giving permission for the Handlers to god mod at their better judgement and as such if I find any foul play between RPers and their assigned Handler, expect someone to recieve a very harsh punishment. There will be no objections to this rule.

3. Each RP mod is also to create a RP app for their Handler (like Rubel, Orsay and Rimuto, the black Cloaks) who will act as your proxy within the RP. Reasons for this is still under development but it is likely that in the future we will also allow the Handlers to assign a rper to their team for larger side quest missions.

4. RP mods/Handlers are also able to RP as normal RPers. This means as Claymores but you will not recieve the benefit of RPing as a higher rank Claymore from start. I wish to exercise fairness and as such I want each RP mods to understand in order to better understand needs and wants of a normal RPer it will be in our(Thats correct, even I am not exempt from this fairness) best interest for the staff crew to set an example by rping as fellow low rankers from the start. I have no qualms about it and I will hope the same from you all regardless of one's talents.

5. Should it be proven that you are incapable of running your side missions due to unexpected leave of absence we the staff wish to hear it as soon as possible. Notify us at the staff thread here and I or another member will see to it someone else is able to cover the unexpected shift in your absence. Tell us promptly beforehand, a single post to let us know you will be unable to continue for how long and etc. Common courtesy can save you from demotion.

6. As my staff, I am giving you responsibilities and some privileges other RPers do not have (It's questionable if this is a good or bad thing, regardless...). As such I expect each and every staff members to carry out their given/expected tasks relatively well. I for one do not believe an individual should be given rank based on their popularity on the forum and should I find the individual incapable of the tasks set for him/her I will not hesitate to relieve you of your duty as a Handler. Being a Handler is a tough job, one with respect and privileges so I will in return expect a good level of commitment to your duties.

I think I might be able to handle it. Creating side quests seem like fun, and playing all the random people/setting will be excellent practice writing for me. As it is, I wouldn't blame you for asking for a demonstration or some such, so I'll include a role-play sample. I haven't played a Claymore rpg previously, though, so I'm not well versed in what normally works for people. Still, if you'd like, I'll try my best to fit the role and if not, then I'll just enjoy playing a normal character.

Role play sample:
The four claymores walked into the town, dust rising in spiraling clouds around their feet. There was a light wind, seeming to come from nowhere in particular, which was exactly where the four of them were; the middle of nowhere. The town seemed desolate and dry: there were no signs of movement. Even the usual glimpse of those rushing to close shutters at their approach was absent.

Their mission objectives had been given to them all mere days before, stating that this poor town had been having trouble with youma for the past few weeks and that they had lost contact with another town a days travel toward the nearby mountains which they could all see were large enough to be capped with snow. Nothing offered itself to be seen, the only perceivable movement was a dustdevil in the square.

As they reached the center of the village a soft noise could be heard from somewhere. The sound disappeared momentarily before they heard it again. They were all too familiar with the sound to mistake it for anything else than what is was: a small girl sobbing. The sound stopped again and it was obvious that the girl must have been going on for so long that she couldn't continue. Following the sound, they would find themselves in front of a thatch-roofed building with a single window in the front and a door that was left completely open.

The inside of the house had a thin layer of dirt over everything and none of them sensed any youma nearby, despite the smell of dried blood, there was no evidence of their presence. If they were to fight them, it seemed that they would need to track them down outside of the town. Even if the rest of the inhabitants weren't left alive to pay the organization's fees there was at least one survivor and that meant the job was still valid.

I am interested how you'll do as a Handler. I'll put you on trial(semi accepted, not fully yet but your close), first go make a character sheet for your avatar/Handler. I'll discuss with you the second side quest mission and allow you to take the lead after I've demonstrated the first as an example to all. Until then, create the Handler's rp app and be on standby =D

Also every handler will get a free cookie and Riful/Sisteena/Phantom Miria will smile nicely to him :)

Lol...nicely said XDD

i think phel would make an interesting handler XD

i would like a free cookie /e3
but im no rp mod lol maybe ill have to do something else for Riful :P

Hey, would it be all right if I try to make a mission myself ? One boss enemy, few claymore players against it, a really short one. I would post it on playground.

Avatar/Handler app made and under character apps. Sorry for the delay, I've had writers' block and school to contend with. Did you want to talk to me through pm? I won't be on msn much, but I'll try to leave it open, too.

Do our Claymores get to pick our handlers or are we assigned to specific handlers?
It will be good that each of us (those that have graduated) know the name of our handlers before setting off as it will be weird not knowing who to account to while we're on missions.

Temporarily I'll assign the veterans to the known handlers like Rubel and Orsay. Over time lets discuss about individual handlers (most likely a role for a rp mod, speaking of which I need more of them =.= )

People are shy... nominate mods?

Heh, I think I'm the guy who is most often on internet if you want a mod, but I don't know if I qualify - I will be honest, I am quite hot-tempered guy.

Free Cookie!?! I want a Cookie!!!!

Not that I complain, but WHERE ARE YOU PEOPLE :D !!!??

BTW : I will look to renew my request of becoming a RP game master. I think Jacob could act as 'narrator' of story as someone who lurks around and observes pathetic struggles of other beings, from time to time interfering with plot for his own entertainment.

My skills aren't remarkable but I'm giving my best and I actually started to like it.

Half of me says I shouldn't the other half says I should...

I would like to apply for handler... I think the mods and the admins need aid in keeping the forums active and err healthy. You can judge my skills with the Extra Scene I've made and the one I'm currently holding (Golden Fields and Red Jacket).

Oh... I specialize with kinda-surprise twists and battle choreography ngork~

Normally I wouldn't back up Idelice but in this case I believe she should be considered for the job of a handler. The admins who are actually doing anything seems to be milady hynavian and the only handler, Kolox, is working himself to the bone. They would really benefit from having Idelice work with them since she seems to be on a lot. The reason I vouch for Idelice is because it seems Kolox and milady Hynavian are working over time. They have been working very hard in my opinion and should have a helping hand. Idelice would be the perfect choice. Her literary works and exceptional mission descriptions should be considered heavily. Idelice would at the very least ease the workload Kolox and milady seems to be under.

I think we have enough staff for the time being suited for the population we have going right now. IF and when we do find 4 people staff is just not enough I'll let you know we're short handed on staff Cecily. Its not a job I'd let anyone else take over. Ask Kolox if you're ever in doubt but the jobs I've entrusted him and Lindy are nothing short of work. For now I think they're doing a wonderful work. If Kolox or Lindy addresses the problem of being unable to keep up with the workload I'll consider it (No promises there).

I will return to my speed immediately - I'm too a human (although part of me is Yoma :D) and after a session I need to get to have a beer or two...or three... or twenty...or..wait ? Where am I ? Who are you ? Why the floor is on the celling .. oh, not again !

Okay. I understand. More beer for Kolox. :D

Hmm if you have msn, add me Idelice. There just might be a job opening for you

Unfortunately I don't have MSN...

Would you get one for the sake of convenience? lol

Done! I now have MSN...

I would like to ask to everyone to add your MSN to your profiles, for those who still haven't done that.

I will spam Phelen mail box ;p

If anyone is interested in moderating the extra scene section, please come forward.

I wouldn't mind doing a little extra work for the community. Its really been good to me, ever since I joined, so if requested, I will serve.

How about starting your own extra mission for now ? GMing can be fun :D

Too all those who want to GM, they need to be prepared that there might be less "Playing" for them - mostly from GM side, which is quite different since you actually know how your character will react or will he die or no.

Well, if it's alright with Riful and the rest of you, of course, then I'll get started on the planning.

I'd be interested in modding. I'm pretty confident I could fulfill the duties you've stated. Is there some way I should...qualify myself?

You've been here for what? A couple of hours? I mean, that's not nearly long enough to be even considered as a mod.

I understood that to begin with, I'm not that lacking in perception. Just keep it in mind.

Theres nothing wrong with applying for it. Though as of late I've hired Idelice to be a part of the staff group so I'll have to close the application for the time being unless we get another big wave of rpers to suddenly join which will prompt us to get another mod to even out the workload. So as for now the application is...



CLOSED until further notice~! I'll update this when we require new mods though.
