Kingdom Guild thread is up!

We are still recruiting members! Plenty of popular character choices available!

So there won't be a ton of detail here, will be plenty if this goes to OOC. I tried running this as an 1x1 on the old forums, but I feel this would be a lot more fun as a group RP. The idea is basically that Fairy Tale characters were real and now their descendants hunt monsters, generic ones as well as more famous villains like Big Bad Wolf. The current generation doesn't know that they are Fairy Tale descendants and are not straight copies, but have talents and powers based on their ancestor's lore.

I'm wanting the setting to be more Victorian era, but I know some are more comfortable with modern settings, so it will be up for debate. I know that their are similar concepts to this and I don't care. I don't follow or know about most of them. I try to make this original as possible and love to see it in your characters. For example, the descendant of the Seven Dwarves could be a single dwarf with all seven of the personalities that changes when a situation triggers it. Like long train rides could trigger Sleepy for a while or a hurt comrade could trigger Doc. Each could come with its own perks and drawbacks. Your inspiration from them can come from Disney stories or the darker versions of Grimm and original stories. You can freely design your character, as long as it makes sense, and I have suggestions (mostly Grimm style) for pretty much all characters if you can't think of one for your favorite.

The gameplay would be more about the guild house as a common ground to hang out, share stories and rumors, and accept contracts. Contracts can be taken alone, but should have at least a partner to keep up the Roleplay aspect. Also, as GM I'm likely to throw curve balls on contracts and often set up opportunities for story-driven events to happen for the guild members. This will be much more effective when Mahz adds the multiple tabs feature, but for now contracts would be posted and monitored on the OOC and the IC will just be closely monitored by myself and any co-GMs. I'm debating between Casual and Advanced right now and that's more for character depth and story rather than post length. I don't care if you have 500 words or 5,000 per post.

So, just a quick overview to discuss and see if I can build some interest. If I get enough, I can get an OOC up.

Provided this is in the Advanced section, I would very much be interested in this!

Just out of curiosity, why is that?

*laughs* Mm. A fair question, and one I have an answer to - but in the interest of brevity, suffice it to say that I simply prefer it that way. If you intended to put this in a different section, then by all means, do so. :)

Hm. Just curious. Like I said, I haven't decided what section. I just hate the titles sometimes. I've seen decent RPers avoid an RP just because it was in the advanced section and vice versa. I usually label mine High Casual to try and draw in both crowds. I try to have the quality of an Advanced without the 10 paragraph posts that scare away good Casual players. So I always struggle with where I will put it. Given the level of detail in character and plot, plus the slightly different structure of it, I'll probably throw it in Advanced.

I'm interested! Hopefully this will be more advanced than casual, though. It's a pretty cool concept, and I'll have to do some refreshing on fairy tails to think of a really good descendant. xD

Glad to see some extra interest. I've decided it will be advanced, but it's more for the level of thought and depth I want to put into it rather than the post length requirement. I'll send you links to the OOC when I get it up.

I'm interested, have you come to any decision regarding the setting?

Since nobody voiced any objections, I'm working on about 1850's United States. Haven't decided on a city just yet, but mostly between New York and Boston. Granted, I know little about the details of either city and the country in general during that time period so it still won't be entirely accurate. More for us just to narrow down a time and place when needed.

Just an update...I'm working on the OOC. I'm trying to make it up to some Advanced Standards and will still have plenty to add even after I post it. I was hoping the editable tabs would have been up by now as that was a very important part of organizing the RP, so I'm having to adjust and clean it up as much as I can.
