Hello everyone, I'm Mayflower! I've been roleplaying and writing stories on and off for nearly ten years now, and would like to present to you some ideas I have for some sandbox worlds I would like to GM.
Each world will be the backdrop for both character arcs and world events, and each of them will have a timeline that will make it possible to go through action at a more sensible pace that would be possible if each day would mean one day in the rp or in the case that the time gauge would be existent. Of course, more action packed rps will have a faster real time/rp time ratio than a slice of life adventure, but each will be as exciting as I can make it given their playerbase.
That brings me to my second point; while I accept anything from a small paragraph to a small novel per post, the idea is that the more you give to the rp, the more you get from the GM. As such, while I won't be discriminating by writing skills, I will be rewarding those who goes above and beyond what is necessary to develop their character and enrich the world with extra goodies and plot opportunities. I repeat, you don't need to be a great writer, merely asking about things in OOC and taking the time to develop your character and given plotlines to the best of your ability will get you in my good graces.
That said, I do admit that I will only have a limited amount of time per day to advance the chosen world, and as such would prefer slower posts. Please take your time with your posts, we'll all be the better for it!
Alright, so now that the boring but necessary part is said, I'll tell you more about the worlds I have in stock. I invite you to give as much feedback and ask as many questions as you want! Should any world gain enough interest, I'll do a specific interest check with more details about it along with what to expect from it in the Casual section.
1. Fantasy, Adventure (Radiata Stories-inspired)
You've just reached adulthood, and it is with hope of a bright future that you set off to the imperial city of Verancia to seek fame and fortune... and adventure! Of limited skills and social acquaintances, you'll have to work hard to gain entrance into one of the guilds protecting the city. In fact, should you have your eyes set on nobility, you'll have to train even harder to gain entrance into the castle, where knights and blue bloods gather. Your journey is as you will make it, but do beware that in this world no action is without consequence; the horde of evil spirits found outside the walls of civilization grow stronger along with humanity's triumphs, and gaining strength and renown will no doubt make you a target to monsters and rivals alike! (The greater your flame, the more perilous your battle.)
2. Western, Horror (Persona-inspired)
Blood has been spilled endlessly for years now, and the ancient grounds of the New World grow red and twisted under the accumulated grudge of the slain and the defeated. That you are a native of this wilderness or a conquering colonist coming from more civilized lands matters not, for in the end nightmares will take shape, and it is only with the power of bonds and the stregth of your own heart that you may see another night in the local saloon of Judetown. (Keep your friends close, for your enemies are already inside you.)
3. Lovecraftian, Exploration/Action (Fallen London/Bioshock-inspired)
What are you doing here? This is no place for humans, you know? Oh, so you come seeking something precious enough to dare search through the abyss in order to obtain your heart's desire? Be our guest, but we would urge you to watch your step for you may not like what you will discover and... madness is so sweet under our tongue! Hell is splendid this time of the year indeed, but there are trickier places to be still, should you be foolish enough to seek them. No matter, your soul will make a wonderful snack to us one way or another. (Inject souls into your veins or graft the flesh of the unnamed into your being, and become more... or maybe less? What's the matter when you get strong enough to get what you want, anyways?)
4. Romance, Drama (Long Live The Queen-inspired)
You are a new face, fresh from the countryside. Will your entry into the refined world of the elite be your triumph or your disgrace? Lovers use their words like poison here, and a simple misstep may be enough to send you packing back to where you come from... that is if you're not exiled or worse in the process! Love is hard to find in these parts, yet it is that same danger to your heart that will make it bold enough to thrive at court. (Love me, love me not, all that matters is that you remember me!)
