[i]The year is 1991, and it Smells Like Teen Spirit and flannel in here. Oh look, a new show is coming out next year![/i][/center] 

In 1992, a television show about a group of people who discover that they are reincarnated versions of mythical creatures airs on your local schlock television network and gains a sudden and vibrant response. The plots and characters are a little cheesy, but the special effects are amazing! The critics could have sworn that goblin-shaped puppet was actually real! Welcome to your very own 20+ year long television show! Characters will be killed off and replaced, the villains will eventually be your love interests or reluctant allies, and one of you will probably get your own spin-off show and receive lukewarm reviews.

Oh wait. All of that already happened? It's 2015 and the show has yet to be cancelled. All of the original characters - the ones that didn't die or ascend or go into life-long comas - have grown up. They have kids who are young adults and even some of those young adults are already having kids! How scandalous! The plots are still just as dramatic as ever, but the inclusion of hip lingo and all sorts of cool techno gadgets are making sure the show always keeps up with the times. There's even one guy who is a nerdy computer hacker! Tina from Minnesota writes in that he's her favorite character, and she has, like, 20 slashfics written about him. Whatever that means... 

You will be playing the characters in this show. Not the actors, the characters. You have no idea that you're in a television show, and the very idea is preposterous to you. So what if a new bad guy shows up every other year? So what if you've already died like, five times? So what if that guy suddenly changes appearance, voice, and habits, he was reincarnated! Just ignore the plot holes in your own life and live the way you are suddenly and inexplicably compelled to!

This concept isn't one I've had buzzing around in my head for very long, so it's not all-inclusive or especially well thought-out at the moment. That said, this is an interest check before anything else. I'll require the help of the players to establish the 20+ year long character relationships and history of the show. You'll also need to feel comfortable with all varieties of plot holes and cheap excuses for things. This is a roleplay using TV drama logic. There will be a lot of opportunities for players to take on multiple characters, or at least the occasional one-off characters, and it won't be odd for characters to die or change allegiances and personalities. If you grew up watching shows like this then you should know what I mean. 

I would post a CS skeleton or something like that, but right now I just want to see who - if anyone - is interested and what KIND of character they would be looking to play. Like I said, almost everyone will have SOME relation to another character. They could be a son, daughter, mother, father, best friend, niece, nephew, rival, archenemy, etc... And I want everyone to be on the same page when they start putting these bonds together. New characters (characters new to the show) will be kept to a minimum, and they won't stay on long unless they're popular (ie. They become important to the story or everyone really likes them). They will most likely be villains or plot devices at first, and if nobody wants to play them I as the GM will happily oblige. 

For the time being just let me know if you are interested. If I think there are enough people available I'll create an official OOC and we can post more comfortably about characters and plot lines there. If anybody wants to ask questions or discuss things relevant to the outline in this thread I don't have a problem with it, but please keep it to a mild roar so that things don't get too spammed.

Thank you, and Welcome!
