We are looking to populate the larp with a number of characters in each group, and our formula looks something like this.
For a larp of 200 characters
- 100 would be permanent residents of Elysium
- 100 would be seasonal residents, travelling merchants and visitor
- We want to have a living settlement, and will reserve 50 spots for groups that offer food, trade and services in the above categories.
Outpost Elysium is a semi sandbox style larp, so you make your own character that fits with the vision and style of the larp.
Your character or group concept must be approved.
OUTPOSTER
Character suggestions: merchant, trader, vendor, bodyguard, writer, diplomat, pit fight manager, town crier, bouncer, business owner, engineer, food stall operator, merchant, scavenger, teacher, tinkerer, artisan, scout, medic, heavy laborer, builder, crafter, entertainer, technician, miner, beggar, pit fighter, drug dealer. And so on.
You play: a permanent settler in Elysium. You’re either committed to making the most of life in Elysium or have no way to leave. To stay, you need to find your place, prove your worth, or offer something valuable—otherwise, you risk being pushed out.
Experience: Everyday life and work and strife. Looking over your shoulder, make the outpost come alive, create events and happenings. Cooperation and camaraderie, empathy and solidarity. Conflict and uncertaintly. Hope and determination.
VISITOR
Character suggestions: A seasonal visitor, new guest to the outpost, travelling merchant, raider in disguise (remember, no airsoft), fugitive, bounty hunter, travelling entertainment troupe and so on.
You may bring an already existing character from the BBR universe if the character fits into this larp.
How do I know if my character or group will fit, you ask?
- There will be no airsoft shooting. A raider style group concept will have a hard time fitting in. Or maybe you can tweak your concept or playstyle to fit this larp?
- There is little room for raging or constant violence. If you really NEED this for your character or group concept to work out, then this is not the larp for you.
- The atmosphere is not a good fit for slapstick/buskis based character themes. Humour is fine, over the top is not.
