This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

Well, when I RP Utena, I always need my character to have a specific colour...
y'know, I think I'll either use white or black. xD

You should use both, given your name and all.

I think we'll be seen a lot together
Glad to play the part as your oniisama.
Just be gentle with the ladies, Nanami. *winks*

wow, ALOT of people want OCs.
cast members taken already include Touga, Juri, Nanami...and thats it. we need Saionji and Miki and we NEED an Akio otherwise...no duels.
im also still waiting to see if anyone wants to help modding because of the steady increase of members to the RP. (its a bit much for one girl on a Wii to handle.
the student council WILL talk about the duels and Akio WILL decide who is dueling who and when. we need these vital roles FILLED.
-thanks!

I'd like to be a mod, but I'm starting college in a few weeks & no doubt I'll be bogged down. D:
I'll be as active as possible, though!

My two cents:
-It really would be best to get the main cast members filled before adding new students, IMO. I'm willing to play Saionji if no one else takes him, but I originally had Tatsuya in mind. (Now, there's a stretch, huh?) It also depends on KTK's vision of the story what minor chatacters are included.
-I think Akio should be played by a GM or equivalent as he's the prime mover of the series. Perhaps Seitokaichou should be granted those official responsibilities as well if she's going to play The Big Man on Campus?
Offline
I'll take Saionji or Kozue. Whichever one is more convenient.
Offline
Iris took Kozue, I do believe. :]
Offline
I think so too.
as a note, i WOULD be Akio...but i would do him no justice

I'm honoured that you think I'm fit for that position. Honestly though, and as much as I want to help KissingT.Kiryuu to co-mod the game, I don't have that much free time anymore. I can't even revive my well-loved community due to time constraints and real time matters.
---
With that said, I'm passing Touga's role to any takers; I believe Jellineck would be a great Touga. Roleplaying a canon character can be too demanding for my time, and I'm more challenged to roleplay an OC for a change. If that's not possible, then, I would gladly withdraw from the game.

Why is it I get nominated for my least favorite character in the series? XD That's actually a perfect fit. I always create/play charries that I deeply despise. For someone like Touga, I think it would be a good antagonistic fit. I would love to take up the challenge.

Least favourite?! xD Ouch. That hurt. Lol. Kidding.
Anyway, thanks for taking Touga, Jellineck. ;)

I know. I know. I'm not cool that way. Shiori happens to be my favorite. Surprise! Ironically, I tend to analyze Touga the most for some reason. XD Maybe it's his penis. Or something. And no probs. Any idea when we start?
-clings to Jelli-
*knowing smirk, runs perfectly manicured digit up the length of her spine* I find your appreciation refreshing. Would you care to show me the full extent of it later? Say, tomorrow night over dinner?
Just getting into character.

WIN.
Don't make my OC flirt with your Touga because it would be love & hate, which is divine, if you ask me. *coughs* Besides, I don't want to have a cat fight with your sister--else I'd end up killing her. Lol.

people, be concerned.
the character list is as follows.
RedRice- Nanami
Kaelyndra- Juri
Iris- Akio
Jeli- Touga
Anji- OC
Speckled rose- OC
Prince of Stars- Saionji
Fencing Capt- OC
Seitokaichou- OC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
now thats a decent list of people who want to play....but we are STILL LACKING VITAL MEMBERS!
i introduced the idea of OCs to replace Utena and Anthy so i was kinda banking on the fact that no one would want to be an OC....i myself am not even sure of who i will be playing yet. the best cannon char i could do would be Touga but again, i would do him no justice. its difficult for me to choose what to do next. maybe it will help if i fully give my idea for this RP?
Utena and Anthy are gone, nothing more then a legend on campus...Akio still will continue the duels. he invites two unsuspecting students to his tower and gives one a ring, the other, unknowingly bears the pain Anthy once faced with the sword. they both have no recolection on why they are at Ohtori besides to be in school. The role of akio entails PMing the respective characters their EOTW letters regarding duels. Student council duties include exactly what you think it would. Touga will be in contact with Akio to help discus the duel and whos next. Touga and Akio are the two BIG roles in this RP as well as the chosen ROSE BRIDE (i nominate me XD.)
in all seriousness i dont want this to be a "i choose them because i like them more then the others so this person looses the duel" sorta thing. its equal oppertunity, we are all friends, we are all adult enough to not start drama.
this RP will be considered to be rated R, violence, cursing (when needed) and any form of sex is fine unless we have members who feel uncomfortable. my view on this is that all of these things (unfortunatly) make up normal life. it happens, its unavoidable. but you dont have to go unto gruesome sexual detail or nothing....like i daid R...not XXX
lol. um...i think ive said what i needed. any concerns at all.... PM ME!

w00t! Hey, I dunno how it will be when I start school, but I would be happy to be a co-moderator for the roleplay. (Although I'd need a job description XD )
In response to Jelli: Oh oniiii-sama
In response to sei: -hiss- stay away~!
Lolz. So in term of Touga and Nanami how are they getting along? Because you know the whole disownment, Nanami still thinks Touga is not her real brother, blah, blah, blah. I guess it's up to us to figure that out... And Nanami said she stopped dueling... I guess she'll need reason to go at it agian. So many possiblilities...

No one wants to play Miki yet? But, but... he's so non-threatening!
Incidentally, how are the secondary characters going to be handled? (The former black roses duelists, Nanami's henchgirls, SuzukiYamadaTanaka, any other characters no one takes, etc.) Maybe it's just me, but I personally have a pet peeve about players putting words in other characters' mouths.

I volunteer to be Akio if no one else would like to play him, although I'd need someone else to be Touga, then. It'd just be very difficult to play both of the two main big guys at the same time. Also, I know it may annoy you, OnionPrince, but that will probably be necessary in order to move things along. I don't think we're going to get people to play the terrible trios and the background chars. I could probably take up those who are close to Akio (Kanae, Mrs. Ohtori) as they'd probably be in the background anyway.
I'd be more comfortable with Touga, though.

Jellineck, I said the same thing to KTK in a PM *L*
If no one claims him in two weeks, or if you'd rather me be him when I return from my trip, I'll play him.
If you want to, then by all means though

i'll let you guys figure who's who. as for BKG chars.....uhhhhh
any ideas? ;

How's this, Iris? If you play Akio, I'll take up Touga and Miki. They do interact, but not frequently, so it would be easy to play both of them. If I turn out to have the time, I'd also love to play Shiori. It's not really hard for me to play different characters at all. I just don't want the organization of Akio as that's where I tend to suck. I can either play them permanently or I can take them (Miki and Shiori) up until someone else wants them.

Okay, sounds great since you don't really want to play Akio
I'll start brushing on my SKU and Akio-acting.
I'll keep playing Kozue though, since she won't be a main person.
Offline
Oh, I'd love to be Akio, but it'd be difficult to handle all the co-mod responsibilties since I'm finishing summer school and will be launched into a really busy semester soon. So thank you very much and I'm sure our partnership as the two shall be most enjoyable.
