It's been awhile since I last hosted a game, not only on this site, but across pretty much all sites I RP on. For this site, my one and only game was a Corpse Party RP I made way back when about a year ago, but that died out I think a month or so into the game. The last thing I've hosted in general was a couple months ago, and never really took off in the first place.
So, why start hosting a game now? Well, the answer's simple, really: with all my newly-found free time now that I'm on holidays, coupled with the fact that I've had ideas raging around in my head for ages now, and I've just got the feeling that I wanna do it, y'know? Of course, I'm not as confident about starting something up as I once was. My innumerable failures to keep consistent at hosting an RP has done its work on my courage, or so it would seem. Even now I'm not entirely motivated or anything, but I feel like all it'd take is one good RP to rope me back into the swing of things.
If it turns out to be successful, then I'll definitely continue with one of my finer, system-based roleplays on another site (which I'll shamelessly advertise here, probably). If not, well I'll just continue being a player, and not a creator.
Anyways, I'm rambling now so I'll get to the point. I'm going to list a whole bunch of ideas and you guys just need to say what seems interesting to you. Most of them will be anime/game-related but I might throw in something more "original" too. I feel the same urge for all of them so there's no need to fret about stuff like that. Anyways, here are the ideas:
* Akame Ga Kill: An RP that revolves around the continuation of the Akame ga Kill ANIME. That's right, the anime, not the manga. An evil has been unearthed within The Capital - a Trump Card from the ultimate Teigu that has begun to revert what Akame and the members of Night Raid fought so hard to achieve. Now with everything turning back to Hell, Akame has made an effort to reform Night Raid to try and fix what Tatsumi accidentally unleashed. Now this RP is going to be HUGE and will span over three, though possibly more, main chapters which will basically be like writing books. It'll fit under just about any category but I'm thinking advanced-casual.
* Date a Live: In a world a mere ten years ahead of our own, humanity has found itself facing a new, unstoppable threat: Spatial Quakes. These spatial quakes manifest themselves due to Spirits -- creatures of great magical power who have no sense of identity -- are pulled through from another dimension, causing widespread destruction, mostly due to them being provoked. It's been ten years since the first spatial quake annihilated most of Europe, and now humanity is certain of the existence of Spirits and aim to either eradicate, harvest or befriend them. Players play as either the Anti-Spirit-Team, Spirits, members of the PMC Westcott Industries, or those gifted in absorbing Spirit abilities (known as "The Gifted"). The RP will have two main styles of play -- romance and/or action -- and will most likely be casual or free.
* Clovers: A fantasy RP which details the journey of The Clovers: a team of four individuals from four separate nations who have been blessed by Lady Luck with the Four Leafed Clover after winning their region's tournament to impress their lady. The Clovers mission is to protect the crystals which keep the world stable and flowing with magic and the acolytes who tend to them, as well as invade the small demon island of Nejaar in order to kill the Demon King. The cool thing about this RP is, although there are four main characters, players can apply for other significant side roles too, including things like villains, companions and even the acolytes themselves. This RP will likely be casual, allowing some free posting should the need arise.
* Persona 6: My own interpretation on 'Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 6' comes in two forms. Thankfully players won't need any real background info if they want to play. The first idea involves a motley crew of fools who pursue their own dreams and aspirations whilst running from the investigation team, with some players even being caught in the middle. The idea is to really use excellent storytelling to its fullest, and thus this would fit under advanced-casual (as you can tell I really hate full on advanced). The second idea involves a bunch of kids with physical, emotional or mental disabilities who are granted freedom and purpose when they discover how to 'unlock their mind'. It involves a lot of psych-stuff, so if you're feeling like having a mind fuck, go for this one. I'd expect this to be casual or advanced-casual. Both games involve the invocation of facets of one's personality in the form of a mythological creature to fight Shadows - dark and evil creatures who were created for the sole purpose of killing humans. More information will be provided should it garner enough interest (as with all the games).
* Steins;Gate: Five years ago, time travel was invented, and it almost caused a catastrophe so large it could've killed the world. Thanks to the exploits of its creator, he managed to undo his wrong-doings and fixed his own timeline by discovering Stein's Gate: the positive presentation of two opposing world's catalysts in order to create a completely new, independent timeline. Through these exploits, the entire world was saved from disaster, and continued on as normal. However, it wasn't long before someone else made the shocking discovery that time travel was, in fact, possible. Players take control of associates of the next scientist who has discovered time travel, and will be worked ragged trying to psychologically live with their choices, sometimes resulting in their not knowing of what they've done. This will be a heavy story-based thriller mystery RP set five years after the anime "Steins;Gate", and is the only one where I'm willing to consider a full-on advanced player list. Due to the heavy implication of story, controlling other people's characters won't be out of the question in certain situations, and it'll involve a lot of cooperation. It'll be more like a big project than an RP, but nonetheless, if it were to finish, it would be absolutely stunning.
* SAO/Log Horizon/Database: All three involve getting trapped inside a simulation, however each one is different in its own way. In Sword Art Online, romance will be more prominent, though of course action and living with the harsh reality that death in-game means death IRL will set a slightly darker tone in comparison to its cousin, Log Horizon. Log Horizon follows the same concept of being trapped inside a game, except you can't die, and instead people live with the fear of being exploited for their abilities. NPCs come to life and suddenly they're enveloped in a new world just like the one they live in. Lastly, there's Database - my own original idea I crafted a couple months ago. Humanity has long since abandoned the "real world", and now 90% of the people on Earth live inside a massive simulation known as "The Database". The Database houses billions of simulations, each suited for whatever the user wishes to experience. However you're not a user, you're an AI. Your name is Firewall, and you're an AI tasked with the duty of locating those who would otherwise exploit the system for their own gains - hackers; terrorists; you're a part of a security program that counters threats such as these. However, when a new, more powerful program is introduced to the system, something goes wrong and soon, The Database is under the program's control, and only you, the remaining members of Firewall who were spared through it's dying acts of allowing sentient thought and being, can fight this newfound evil which is enslaving humanity.
And there you have it! Those are the choices! I might add more if the ideas come to me, but feel free to give your say on which you'd like to see or ask any questions if you're confused.
Love,
