Several plot ideas.

Oooh, a fellow Green Hellian!

Interest for numbers 4, 7, 10, 11, 12, and 13.

Soft interest for numbers 5 and 9.

I usually do dms, but seeing as how this isn't explicitly 1x1, I'll post here so others can see.

Edited to add another dream I just woke up from. I really didn't want to leave that one, but it started to turn into a weird hybrid of Prey (2017) and Alien

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread Number Two

Finished BG:EE, got a bit bored of The Black Pits (will finish eventually) and started BG2:EE. I'm ever so closer to finally getting into BG3, though I am quite enjoying the journey of the first two games!

Also finally playing the first Resident Evil game. I've only played RE 5 and 6, seen some of the other games. It is straight up just early 2000s exploratory puzzle horror game, with lots of backtracking across the mansion for this item or this switch, etc. The limited save system is nice, and extends the game a bunch because I have a habit of dying several times before getting back to the save spot. Plus, with my squirrel brain, I forget where enemies, puzzle hints, and items I can't pick up at the time are, so it's a lot more wandering and referring to the map every few seconds. Also, who the hell designed this place?? I know it's basically a cover for a virus lab but still, did each researcher and security person have to go through this crap when they worked there? And how does anyone even try to live here? It's a maze, and makes no sense as an actual house to me.

On the other hand, I am quite enjoying Evil Within 2. The open world surprised me, but it definitely fits. The "vault" system like Dying Light and Dead Space 3 is also pretty cool, little optional areas to get a bunch of gear and upgraded weapons, though I am curious how they're going to link the Big Bad from game 1 to game 2, cuz I haven't seen them yet, or at least not in a manner that I recognize.

And then there's Starship Troopers: Extraction. It's hilarious, just like the movie, and tons of whiny players that my team gets to troll. It's great! A little repetitive with the missions, but the maps are pretty rotated and keep it fresh. It's a game that actually encourages teamwork and synergy in a PvE environment.

In other SciFi news, Empyrion Galactic Survival has announced they have a DLC coming out! Which I am extremely out of touch of the story with the base game, so I thought it wasn't a great idea since last I knew the story mode wasn't even finished, but that was... what, a few years ago since I played the actual story? Like maybe 4 or 5 years? Dang. But the teaser trailer looks cool!

Had another dream last night that could work as an rp. Edited post to add it. Also, happy holidays to everyone whatever you celebrate!

AR's Universal Check - General Ideas, Plots, and Dream Worlds (18+)

Updated Erotica section and added more ideas based off of dreams I've had and recorded in my sort of journal.

Ghosting is killing ideas..

I know I get busy, especially during the American end of year holidays and October (cuz Halloween is best) so I figure if anyone hasn't responded then they're busy or have a writing block, and I understand that, so any and all partners of mine are given basically an infinite time period of when they can reply back to me. I once waited 3 years for a reply before I messaged my partner about if they're still interested in the rp. I also saw on another social media site that they had medical problems and a wedding going on, so of course they're gonna be too busy to come onto the website to say "Hey I'm busy dunno when I'm gonna be back". With my own schedule having to be planned a year or two in advance (literally) I understand what it's like to be busy or overwhelmed by Life that there are more important things to focus on than the next post of a story being written with an internet person. I usually play my backlog of video games or clean when I have spare time in my life. Thinking about changing that though when I upgrade my craft station eventually.

Post a random fact about yourself.

I can bend the first knuckle of my first three fingers (pointer, middle, ring) on both hands simultaneously and individually.

Info about me can be found off my profile's bio or my Intro post. I am also initially writing this on mobile, and I may also end up replying via mobile too, but I swap my platform depending on what I'm doing at the time.

Okay, so!

I would love some kind of long term rp that has a story, character development, and just leaves an impression that you want to go make the characters in The Sims or reference them in other stories. I get quite attached to characters, especially when the development is good. I am open to pretty much anything, but I have little experience in Westerns, Historical, Steampunk, Military, or High School, so I'd prefer something NOT involving those, unless you're okay with a newb for those themes.

If you have any questions, please ask them!

General Wishes / Rules

- Details. I'm not talking about needing to know exactly what every little detail of your character's shoelace is, but I do need to know what's going on for me to bounce off of what you've written and get a grasp of the imagery you're trying to show. An example would be that you climb a tree then fell down. What kind of tree is it? How high up are you? Was it a planned fall or did you lose your balance? Why did you fall? Etc. These simple details will make or break the situation, and can also determine what happens next. I don't expect a certain amount of lines, words, or ritual sacrifices to be met; I'd like to be able to picture what's going on and react accordingly to it.

- Power creep. I dont care if your character is super powerful, but I do care if you're magically immune to anything or everything possible and nothing can hurt you. Basically, please don't do One Piece powercreep. My head literally cannot comprehend that type of thing and it's boring to me. You need to have some kind of weakness or ability to perish please. I'd like some risk to our characters, even if they're godly powerful.

- Response time. I dont really care how long or short it takes you to reply, I'm not going to hold a grudge or anything negative towards you if you don't reply. I might be a little sad if I've become attached to our characters and will feel guilty if I use mine in another rp, but I won't hold ghosting / not replying against you. We all have our priorities in Life, and sometimes rping isn't it. I ask the same courtesy be given to me.

- Erotica. Not a necessary thing for me. I much prefer story/development/plot to smut, but I am not opposed to writing it. I am pretty much open to any idea, though I am unfamiliar with anthromorphic (if that's the right word) relationships. I can look up whatever, but anything beyond vanilla interactions should be talked about first.

- Rp Location. I would prefer we rp here on this site, and I'm also used to having two chats: One for OOC chatting and ideas, and the other being the actual RP. It keeps things organized so we don't have to scroll all the way up or several pages back to reference the last reply.

- Triggering / Dark Themes. I am totally okay with most content, but if there is of any concern whatsoever, please do talk with me about it. I dont want to cause any personal problems or uncomfortable topics if it's not something that is sought after.

- Age of Characters. An absolute must of our characters being adults (18+). I dont even want to risk any underage shenanigans being played out.

- Parents / Family themes. I don't do parenting. Period.

Generic Plots / Ideas

All are open to any gender pairing. I am more familiar with female but I can and will play male.

- Generic themed adventure. It could be fantasy, scifi, modern, slice of life, superhero, supernatural, whatever. Just grab a couple of characters, compare their worlds, and smash them together or put them in a generic place where they'd both fit. Super simple, super flexible.

- Romance. Your character and mine end up together romantically somehow. Same as above, grab some characters, compare similar aspects and find a world to drop them into. They could be total strangers who bump into each other, a rescuer and rescuee, enemies forced to work together, old friends, business partners?, hunter and hunted, etc.

- Face Off. Characters are enemies and are constantly trying to hunt each other down or fighting. Could be a police thing, superheroes, old partners but bad blood, idk. Real flexible too. An NPC could also be the enemy?

- Peas in a Pod. Our characters encounter one another and find they have the same goal so they team up to try to achieve this goal. Or one character could be in trouble and asks the help of the other character and they stick together.

- Survivors. Apocalypse? Natural disaster? War? In Laws? Who cares? Our characters are surviving some kind of nasty event and end up grouping together to increase their odds at survival of whatever the awful event is.

Experimental Ideas

These are some ideas I've had for a long time or and haven't done much rp with yet. Most of these are World Builders, so we can just play in the semi-established world. Also, I kind of just make stuff up on the spot with these when it comes to details, but the general world shell is established.

- Overgrowth. The apocalypse was always expected to be full of war, explosions, nuclear weapons, some mutant zombie virus, or aliens, but no one thought it wouldn't been Mother Nature who fought back. Nature unleashed a weapon: Spores that mutated animals and humans, plant life with accelerated growth, sentient trees, and darker secrets hidden beneath the dirt. Our cities were overtaken, the steel and concrete seemingly eaten alive by the plant life, our neighbors, protectors, government, and families being infected and changed into grotesque creatures. The forests and animals took over, hunting or overpowering those who survived, chasing them out of Nature's claims. Only a few cities stand across the world now, or at least, that's what we assume since communication was cut off. A brave few venture outside the city walls, into the deep and dark unknowns of the Great Forest, and those who return, are known to all.

- The Academy. A magic school for all, specializing in breaking down the elemental aspects and hyperfocusing on that which each person is most gifted for. They have to be wary though, for demons from the various elemental planes are always looking for a way to gain more power, and gather more souls to feast upon. I have no general plot line for this one, just a world that was built ~15 years ago and I'd be up for visiting again.

- Dark Star. A scifi world inspired by the underworld of Star Wars and Mass Effect. A space station ruled by organizations called Houses, Dark Star is home to any and all people of the galaxy that have been banished or are viewed as outcasts. Become a friend to the gambling houses, or maybe a merchant for the banking houses, or perhaps you were born as royalty in the upper houses? Maybe you're a smuggler or pirate, or want to uphold the laws and dish out justice to those criminal scum that infest this place? While some aspects were inspired by Star Wars, there is no Force to speak of, but similarly to Mass Effect, there is technology that can harness different energies and manipulate them to one's will.

Dream Inspired Worlds

These are dreams I've had that have potential to be turned into a neat RP. Baseline ideas that can be developed further and expanded upon. Note: some of these have Fandom aspects, which can be kept or changed to avoid nitpickiness. Also, I have no idea why I keep having alien invasion types of dreams. shrug

- Fantasy Noir. Modern day early 2000s ish, with heavy influence from multiple fandoms. DnD, Dragon Age, Men in Black, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, generic science fiction. A government experiment escapes the Men In Black, and goes on the run or hiding. No one knows what they want, but they have relationships with a Nightingale Ranger who used to be part of the police force. The Ranger is in training with another Nightingale Ranger, and they both wish to find this Rogue to settle the past between the younger one and the escapee. The police send out a detective duo, led by a strangely familiar synthetic, to go after the deserter ranger. The Men in Black follow and watch the detective duo. The experiment uses their charisma and abilities to hide out in a cartel brothel which has connections to the underground network of scifi bunkers and tunnels that run below modern day civilization. These bunkers have been long abandoned and are typically filled with monsters or old treasures, but only Adventurers or nefarious folk go down there now. We could play multiple characters in this one, though I do have a preference for being the Experiment since that was depicted as "me" in the dream.

- Supernatural Mutants and Aliens. Modern day Earth, modern setting, semi apocalyptic. There are Towers of giant anti-air gun turrets serving as a defensive piece for the country, and supernatural creatures exist but are extremely frowned upon or seen as fairy tales still, expect for zombies. Because of course, there's a zombie apocalypse going on. One family, who are mutants to the point where they take on attributes of supernatural creatures that bite them without losing themselves, join with a group of human survivors having a party just out of reach of the nearby zombie horde. At some point, the nearby Tower shoots, halting the party and throwing everyone into a shocked state. A high tech plane cones crashing down, one of those shielded military interceptors, and that's when everything gets crazy. The humans start scattering, the family starts panicking because one of their members got bit and was taking on the aspects of a zombie, and the other Towers in the region start going nuts shooting at something in the sky. That turns into many somethings, because tons more of those military aircraft in addition to unknown ones start raining down across the place. The crowd is uncontrollable, and run straight into a slaughter line. High tech tendrils of metal are slicing down the people, preventing any escape, and they are backed up by larger versions of these, which are then backed up by humanoid soldiers with various blades and guns picking off the rest. This army was a force to be reckoned with, and they came from outer space to help the humans be rid of all their problems. Fortunately, that means the zombie horde. Unfortunately, that means any rebels, those who try to kill themselves, or the infected are prime targets. Some humans are redeemable though, and are recruited into the army. The idea here is one person is part of the alien army and "conditioned" for total loyalty in exchange for power and training for The Greater Good. The other person infiltrates the army to try to save this first person. Or we could have multiple characters and make some use of the mutant family or other aspects to be introduced.

- Alien Plant Infestation. Modern day to semi futuristic Earth. The planet has been invaded by sentient alien plant life that can mutate other life on Earth via infection. There are Specialists that work with special forces of the military that are immune to the spores and are attuned to them. They can telekinetically manipulate infected pieces from individuals, see the mutated life, detect the aliens from non aliens, and track the spores themselves as they travel through the air. To them, it's obvious, with bright colors and twisted versions of the base Earth plants obvious to them versus seemingly invisible to normal humans. The more advanced the infection, the more humanoid the plant gets, growing a face, appendages, and using technology to further the takeover. Infected individuals blatantly deny the existence of the invaders and appear with green cactus like growths protruding from their ears, nose, eyes, mouth, whatever orifice possible. Specialists also have an ability to New Game Plus if something goes wrong, usually unknown to them until it happens, but they keep all their knowledge of the Time Before, even if the people around them are different or not as of high caliber and skill than before. I'd love to play one of the Specialists in this one. You could be one as well, or perhaps a soldier that New Game Pluses with me?

- Witch Maid. Super simple. A battle Witch is transported to another world with nothing, not even clothes, and has to figure out what's what. The first outfit she found is a maid uniform, which she doesn't really care cuz it allows for freedom of movement and doesn't make her feel like she's suffocating. It becomes a signature look for her. Main Rp idea is I'd play the Witch Maid.

- The Dark Wave. A Mass Effect Reaper-like alien invasion of destruction forces humanity into bunkers underground for years until they are driven back up to the surface because Science and Dinosaurs (no, really, it was like a whole other dream inside this one). They make settlements, adapt to the wasteland, and prosper for quite some time until The Agent arrives. The Agent infiltrates and corrupts these settlements, leaving nothing living behind. A selected few are sent out to unite the various settlements across the land to fight off this Dark Wave, and the Agent that preludes it. This isn't fully like Fallout or a restart of humanity though, there's a lot of technology, starting from around WW2 era up to nanotechnology and cybernetics. Rp idea would be that I'd play The Agent and possibly another one or two characters who are part of that scout group to unite the lands against it. You'd play another member (or more than one) of that same scout group.

- The Hunt (Star Wars Based). An undercover Dark Jedi / Sith goes after a special blue katana that's in the possession of a Mandalorian traveling with a Jedi (yeah, like that's never happened before /sarcasm). The pair of good doers get lost in hyperspace, stranded from all other help save for the hunting dark one. In the dream, it was shown how hyperspace is just a series of tubes in this endless void that can transverse time, space, and existence itself, but that's not really needed. In the end, the undercover dark one was able to steal away the blue katana and corrupt the good ones, or at least bring them to a place where she had ruling power, and basically celebrated in her mission being complete and how she'd go about using the power of the blue katana. It had some kind of significance like the DarkSaber, but wasn't really used much or shown what its powers were. One Rp idea here would be one of us playing the dark one, and the other playing the good one(s). Could double up too.

- Space Romans. A modern day to semi futuristic Earth is invaded by a strange alien force. People are slaughtered, taken as slaves, or assimilated into the new world order. However, one woman is taken as a royal bride, stolen away from her lesser classed family and friends. The world changes to fit these new overlords' tastes, but to humanity, it just looks like Romans From Space. Pillar and stone architecture with levitating artistic pieces, centurion guardsmen with both electric blades and plasma energy rifles, horses to carry the high ranks and flying machines for long distance travel. Wine, revelry, servitude, and drama. In the dream, I was that woman-taken-as-wife, and all I wanted was to see my family, even going so far as to disguise myself as a centurion to escape the palace. For an RP, one of us would play the new wife, the other, the invading ruler, who was infatuated with the woman's beauty, spunk, and independent allure.

- Space Vampires. For millennia, there's been this race of humanoid creatures that have been conquering, assimilating, evolving, and destroying intelligent species across space. Their next target? Earth, and they're already here. Most would think they're normal people, gods amongst humanity some would consider them, but they're actually telekinetic vampiric shapeshifting aliens from an unknown planet far, far away. They've been using a star map from a derelict star station built by a race they would even consider ancient, and visiting each planet of these stars to gain power, slaves, entertainment, and another piece of the star station's map. They offer power through consumption of their blood or flesh, which mutates the targeted creature into a sort of vampiric husk of themselves. Many, many times they have seen the lesser species grow out of control, so they decide to eradicate them. By inscribing cyrillic abjad runes along the landscape, they can sever and launch the quarantined zone into space, effectively destroying and exiling any of the crazed races. Earth is the next stop on their incomplete star map, so they've come to find the next piece. In the dream, I played the part of the ruling space vampire, morphed into a female human and, with the help of my second in command, infiltrated a government organization that dealt with anomalous objects like the starmap piece I sought. There were other main character humans, some being able to determine non-human creatures and hunted them down while others were more like consultants and researchers there for the scientific discovery. Roleplay ideas could be that we are both part of the alien race coming to play with the humans who try to stop us, one of us is an alien while the other is human, we could have a group of characters on both sides... There's a lot that can be done with this.

- Nuclear Zombie Apocalypse. Simple dream this one. Modern day Earth, nukes are unleashed on the planet, creates Survivors and Zombies. We have to scavenge around while fighting off or avoiding the hordes. Zombies are fairly tough, and sometimes not even head chops will take them down. Oh, and the nukes were launched because of international war, or so the newscasts said before the world was blown to bits.

- SciFi Bunker Dungeon Crawler. This dream was a mix of a dungeon crawler, scifi magic, gritty scenery, and military group vs military group with weird science causing it all. I remember having to escort a small group of people, some of them experimental researchers and others being a black ops type of squad and we had survived some kind of Event that happened on the surface. It was our duty now to wander these underground bunkers and tunnels, avoiding another faction there, and finding our way out. Some of us had mutations or powers, and I remember mine being something along the lines of Life Steal or Blood Drain, but other abilities could be learned based off objects found while exploring the underground complexes. We had to be careful of The Marines, a faction of humans that were hunting any surviving scientists and their bodyguards down because of what they did to the world. It was glazed over, but the group found out that the scientists we were escorting were some of the key members of causing The Event and we fought amongst ourselves before a squad of The Marines pinpointed us. Then it was time to try to avoid them, or fight, which The Marines were known to be experts of combat, especially down here in their home. RP idea could be an escort mission of one of us being one of the scientists involved with the project and the other being a black ops protector, or maybe the scientist wasn't involved with the project and one of their role models was, or maybe one of us hunts the other down as a Marine.

- Superhero Thunderdome. A bunch of superheroes got put into a mall and are forced to kill each other, compete in weird carnival games, or outlast the others in order to gain Points. Whoever has the most points at the end, or whoever is left standing, wins this... thunderdome thing. It was chaos, I gotta say. There were races around the mall, dunk tanks, straight up boxing rings, go karts, disable the bomb, foam pits, just tons of stuff. Rp idea could be a dice roll thing for multiple characters, or maybe even a larger and more nefarious plot that forced everyone here to compete and we're infiltrating the event to uncover the dark origins, idk. It was weird and fun to 3rd Person fly around and turn into smoke.

- Modern Vampire Gang. Modern day. Wander into a bar and go after the VIP section upstairs, somehow getting in and order a drink. There's these two men in the place, the only other people, one graced with a half burned face. They're talking and one gestures to the human, mentioning something about "Why not?". He doesn't even hide it. He wants to turn the human, an invitation to their dark world among the living. The dream ended at that point, after being bitten by the man with the burn, a slow descent into a numb darkness. As with all my vampire dreams, I wanted to continue the story so much!

- Dune, But Not. This one was weird. It was like the story following Paul Atreides, but it was set in a victorian era kind of steampunk realm. Paul was prophesized and trained for his future role, but he rebelled, fighting off anyone and anything that dared to force him off his path of freedom. His main weapon was a walking stick sword. He just kind of... walked the city streets, beating up anyone who got in his way. RP idea would be related to the generalized idea of a nobleman being trained from childhood to be this next Great Something but decides he doesn't want to be, and runs away from his predetermined destiny. Maybe he'll find a friend, an ally, a lover, a recurring enemy? Who knows?

Woohoo!

Hi all, I am August Reign, an experienced forum based roleplayer who has been away from the game for a few years now. I'm just throwing up this thread for 1) I was unbanned because I had my VPN on, like many others lol (thank you LegendBegins!) and 2) to help prevent spam as per what my profile/site settings has asked me to do.

Oh, let's see here...

I have been on several RP Forums before, some private while others were lesser known public forums. I then joined some mobile applications, but found they took too much space on my device and the community became more toxic as I lingered. I then joined a different but also popular forum as my most recent presence online, but y'know how some of those long term RPs go... sad but oh well. I've been a part of a handful of themes, mostly anime, fantasy, romance, or modern day superhero/mutants, but I have also been a host to several original idea types, mostly modern day, futuristic, or post apocalyptic.

This place looks really chill and Use Your Common Sense type of vibes, so I'm looking to feel things out and see how it goes!

Thanks y'all!
