[quote=@Feyblue]1: How many people are interested in the overall genre, and would like to try a roleplay based on the concept?[/quote]

I've been going through Otome Isekais for a while now, and would certainly be interested in an RP of it.

[quote]2: If you [i]are[/i] interested, how serious would you like the roleplay to be?[/quote]

Half-and-half is fine... or something like that.

[quote]3: If you were to join, what kind of basic role in the "game" plot - like Male lead, villainess noble girl, heroine, heroine's best friend, etc. - would you be most interested in playing, and would you rather be a reincarnator or not?[/quote]

Although I'd prefer a reincarnator, an in-game is fine as well. As such the villainess or an associate of hers (servant, the "Bad ending" husband, etc.) would be interesting.

[quote]4: If you're playing a major character in the "game" plot - like a male lead, for example - how much of the plot of your character's "route" would you prefer to come up with yourself, and how much would you expect me as GM to provide for you?[/quote]

I think it would be best to discuss it together with the group. I've read enough otome isekai manga to know the tropes/flags/cliches inside out, but I don't want to step on toes.
 
[quote]5: Would you rather do the RP through this site, or through Discord?[/quote]

Site, definitely site. I'm fine with discord OOC, though.

[quote]As far as ideas for the setting are concerned, I'll probably do some kind of medieval fantasy with rare superpowers - blessings from the fairies, elemental magic, something of that sort. Gotta make our various assorted bishies special, after all. Could go the generic route and have some kind of academy setup to justify an anachronistic high school in a medieval european setting, but I dunno about that yet. All I know is that it must obviously be aristocratic in nature and have plenty of opportunities for miscommunication, unwanted engagements, forbidden love, and possibly political assassinations and the ever-looming threat of war if we want to tell a more serious story.

Anyway, since I still don't even know if anyone will be interested in this, better keep it brief, so that's all for now. If you're interested, I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks for reading!

P.S.: I would like to request that if anyone reincarnates as the heroine, please don't just psychotically recite lines trying for the harem end. I know this entire genre is built on cliches and all, but seriously, enough is enough. We don't need any more evil heroines. I dunno, be a male college fratboy reincarnated as a Disney princess instead. Throw me a curveball here. I want to watch the world burn.

Well, if you want something new, I don't think I've seen an Otome Isekai with a jester before, so I could be one, for example.

Or, if the setting feels cliched, you could try space opera. Or add some RPG elements. Or... well, we can come up with something in the OOC. There's so many options.
