This is the roleplaying style that is expected for the Alien 9: A New Generation roleplay. This is also the place to go to post any discussions regarding the roleplay. Feel free to add comments, questions, your bio, and other things regarding the roleplay. PM me for questions or comments.
The roleplay itself is located here:

----------------------------
We will be roleplaying in the literate form. No using * for actions or : instead of " for words. If you are confused about this format, merely look at the past posts.
----------------------------
It's also going to be that everyone controls their own character. However! The aliens can be joint controlled, or single controlled depending on what is intended to happen. For example if it was just a regular catching alien then both users can control it so that the story can progress faster.
Example:
User 1: Alex dodged the alien, but it quickly got back up and charged at him again. This time, it was headed towards Amanda.
User 2: Amanda froze as the alien kept charging closer to her. When the alien bared its teeth at closing distance, she screamed and closed her eyes, thinking that this moment was her last.
----------------------------
See, in the last example both characters have control over the alien, the first user made the alien miss him, while the second player made herself the alien's target.
Here's an example of one player controlled aliens:
User 1: Slithering alien grabbed a hold of Tim while his back was turned. He waved his arms to get it off. "Hey!! Get off!!!" He yelled. The arm that was grabbed lost circulation and he dropped his stun gun. He bent over and grabbed it with his other hand. As soon as he pointed it with the gun the alien hopped onto the teacher's desk.
User 2: Amanda came in from the other room, from hearing Tim yell. She came in as fast as she could. Amanda looked into the alien's eyes, it was on the desk. She asked, "Why are you always after Tim?" She said that without thinking.
User 1: The snake-like alien's spikes rose from it's spine, and it curled up as if he was cringing being asked that question. It seemed like a pain to answer and speak. It replied, "I don't... know.... I don't--!!"
Tim then shot the alien with his gun. He was impatient to get the fight over because of all the times he was attacked before. He was just ready to go home and call it a day. Besides, it didn't seem like they were going to get a decent answer.
----------------------------
In that instance only user 1 could control the alien. Each time an alien lands the roleplaying group can decide who will control the alien, or if the whole group can. Because if a player decides they want to fuse with a Yellow Knife, that person should be the one controlling that alien, because that alien will be focused on one player. But that is just an example. It might be decided that something like a Yellow Knife will be controlled by everyone, and it is unknown who will fall as his prey, if anyone at all. If unmentioned who controls it, the alien that lands can be controlled by anyone.
----------------------------
No crossovers. That means no non-Alien 9 themed characters join. Like Digimon, Sonic, or whatever. As much as I love Digimon and Sonic I'd like to roleplay with a pure Alien 9 universe. Also no original Alien 9 group in this one. We will all make our own aliens, borgs, characters, teachers, and stuff.
----------------------------
Any characters that aren't established like teachers and background characters can be controlled by anyone unless otherwise mentioned.
