ODDWORLD
LULU’S ODDYSEE
(INTRO)
In a huge black Mudosian city, where the sky is dark with pollution, cars fly, Khanzumerz are too lazy to walk the pavements far below where only ratz or other poor species wander, lives a glukkons named Lulu. A very poor and hated Glukkon by most people, especially Vykkers. He lives near a dumpster, with only his Pud clothes, a neglected piece of cardboard saying LULU FUND PLEASE HELP! and an old sparkly lilac Glokstar hat. He slept silently on piles of cardboard, shivering in the cold. He didn’t always used to be homeless, a terrorist suspect, and on the run. In fact his life had been good.
He’d just been a normal lazy Pud Glukkon, slacking off work and sleeping in his basement office. Until, one day, someone set up a charity – in his name. Other Glukkons found it a joke, experts said he wouldn’t make a dime – but he did. Lots of dimes. Glukkons started, for some reason, donating their entire fortunes and moolah to the bogus charity, making him become filthy rich. Without lifting a finger, he quickly became a Chump, escalated to a Wanna be, a Big cheese, and then, a Glokstar, the richest a Glukkon can get, with three million moolah in his bank. It was like a dream come true. He got his own fancy sparkly clothes, big hat and personal Slig valet.
Then disaster occurred. In a conversation with the slig, he said he wouldn’t be going to the Vykkers Labs Gabbiar auction, but for some reason, like he was possessed, he then agreed to go there. At the auction, everything was going swell, the crowd loved him, except for Tex, who probably jealous, until, for some reason, he started bidding. At the end of the auction, he found out he had bidded his entire fortune – losing all of his moolah for a can of eggs he didn’t even want. A loud call of “NOOOOOO-OOOO-OOO-!!!” followed, before he was the first to leave with his newly won grade A Gabbiar can, distraught the loss of his dream.
He was lucky him and the Slig valet did though, because Vykkers Labs 13 exploded and crashed due to a terrorist act – the only known survivors were him and that slig – raising strong suspicions. Did Lulu leave, knowing he had left a bomb there, to kill everyone for no reason? Everyone thought so, and due to popular belief, in the next issue of the Daily Deception newspaper, along with the headlines screaming ‘WE’RE SCREWED!!!’, also came ‘LULU BLAMED FOR VYKKERS LABS DISASTER!’
Ignorant, and some angry at the loss of family members, everyone blamed him. With the valet gone, the Gabbiar can lost during a hallucogenic state and only his Glokstar hat and Pud clothes left, he hopped like he’d never hopped before from his workplace from various angry mobs, winding up on the bottom of a huge black building city, where mostly no one went or lived. Trying his luck, he made another ‘Lulu fund’ – a piece of cardboard with his bad writing on it, hoping to get out of poverty – only usually getting pennies, ignored, or beaten by angry people who had read that newspaper.
With a collapsed economy, life was hardened for a poor below Pud like him, and he lived off whatever good stuff came down from above into the bins – usually nothing, or just plain inedible rubbish. His ‘home’ was in the cold outdoors near a dumpster, rejected cardboard scraps usually made a bed for him and a pillow and he smelt like the trash he hung around, having nowhere or no chance to get a bath. Nowadays, he was usually depressed, moping and alone, with some pennies in his hat, the only reminder of the good life he’d once had.
With another sudden shiver, he awoke, glowing orange eyes flickering to see another pair of green eyes staring back at him. With a yelp and a sort of leaping movement, he wound up on his back, watching the ordinary Oddworld rat scarper back to the large metal bin. Biting the ‘Lulu fund sign’ and pulling it back over him, he shivered in the silent and empty part of the city, going back to sleep.
INFORMATION STUFFS
In this roleplay, there’s nothing to save or stop, you just interact with the other people’s characters (when enough people join) and Lulu, who I’ll roleplay. Will you pity Lulu and join his side? Are you some modern day bounty hunter sent to bring him to a trial to face the wrath of Lady Margaret like Mulluck was supposed to? Or are you just a usual industrialist who hates him over the Vykkers Labs disaster? You are in a fanfictional huge Oddworld black building city with high skyscrapers, and you are at the bottom where only usually ratz (and Lulu) wander. What you do is up to you, but with a lot of catches… The rules.
RULES
(Look at Splat’s RPG rule thread for the rules not mentioned here
http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=15073)
A WORD ON DUMBISMS
1) Don’t type something stupid like ‘Then I ate a pie and exploded for no reason!’ Stuff like that won’t help the roleplay, possibly ruin it and just annoy other people.
2) And give your character a logical reason for being in a normally deserted part of the city, you can’t just have a steef there because you said so.
A WORD ON SUEISMS
1) Your character cannot be Abe/Munch/Stranger’s girlfriend, because, a, they are in a big dark city where they will not be able to see or interact with them and b, natives probably won’t be there. At most, they can know official characters, or be long lost friends of them.
2) Your character will not instantly take to and become friends with Lulu. Unless they don’t know ‘he’ blew up Vykkers Labs, or something like that.
3) Do not posses someone else’s character without permission! It’s godmoddling!
A WORD ON STUFF OVER PG
1) No cybering(roleplaying sexually for sexual entertainment). Or other nasty hardcore stuff, I want it to be suitable for all of the members here.
BASICS AND MISCELLANEOUS
1) To start, post your character profiles first, something like-
Name: (Your character’s name)
Gender: (Male, female, pangender etc)
Species: (A species we all know and love)
Personality: (Words to describe his/her personality)
Appearance: (What does he/she look like?)
Bio: (Brief account of character’s past, why they are in the city and at the bottom)
Do not post after that until I accept your character, which I should unless said character broke one of the above rules, i.e, your character can beat up anybody and gives no reason for being in a usually deserted part of the city.
2) No random Non Player Characters… Except for ratz, since they’ll probably be everywhere in the trash… And fleeches, they’ll probably be in the sewers.
BASICALLY…
Obey the rules in the RPG rules thread
http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=15073, and read at least some of this wall of text. The roleplay will start as soon as three players are in.
MY CHARACTERS

Name: Unknown, refers to himself as Vobos
Gender: Male, could have a bit of female in him from being a vykker
Species: Vykker
Personality: Dumb, happy, friendly, immature
Appearence: Like a normal purple vykker, apart from the thick black stitches on his head, presumably where he had some of his brains removed. His right leg is also bent from falling from a great height by accident. Top right arm is chained to Mike's arm.
Bio: 'Vobos', as he likes to call himself, is an admittedly dumb vykker, who talks in blabber, takes interest in things like a toddler and seems to lack the ability to feel most pain, said to be one of the results of his mysterious brain operation. He likes Mike as a close friend or parent, and is always dragging him around as a result of Agent 80085 the slig handcuffing them together when they were causing a disturbance in the city by sissyfighting in the middle of the street. Vobos, being unable to feel pain himself and lacking common sense, usually puts Mike the intern through painful things like using his head as a battering ram to smash things that get in his way.
-
Name: Mike
Gender: Male
Species: Intern
Personality: Easily annoyed, communicates when spoken to, more mature and serious than Vobos
Appearence: The usual headphones, with red eyes and black and red swinwear and cap with a red intern's skull on it. Left arm is chained to Vobos's arm. Has stitches on his neck from an operation.
Bio: He used to be a normal intern, working for two vykkers that surgically removed his voicebox, when he came across Vobos, who ended up dragging him around like a toy to the city. Whilst Vobos likes him as a friend and tool, Mike hates him, wishes he could get those shackles of his wrist and is sick of getting his head baterred against windows and more.
-
Name: Probably nameless, known as Howler
Gender: Male, probably sterile
Species: Slig, but he thinks he's a slog
Personality: Like a slog, vicious, sociable with slogs
Appearence: A scruffy looking crawling slig with no mask
Bio: 'Howler' is a slig that escaped the slig birthing complex, winding up weak and malnourished as he crawled away to no where. He wouldn't of survived if the sewer slogs, for some reason, took him in and raised him like one, teaching him how to live in the sewers and be like a slog. Howler thinks he is and continues to act like one, hunting ratz, avoiding the sewer fleeches and chasing anyone he finds like a slog would. He's usually found in the sewer.

Who are you?!
But I think making him stand trial in front of Lady Margaret would be fun.
