WILL BE STARTING ONCE EVERYONE FINISHES UP THEIR CS

The Nine is about nine teenagers who represent the nine types of intelligence and have been invited into a "university" for gifted people such as them. They arrive in the "university"'s location but find that it's not an university at all, but a large mansion in the middle of a remote island. What is their purpose there? And what does Prof. Howard, a man shrouded in mystery, want with them?

Notes:

The Nine are from all over the world, and they've never met each other before the mansion. Maybe some have heard of one or two of the Nine, but they don't personally know each other. Am I making sense here?

The Nine have been taken to the mansion to be trained for a Heist (which is the awesome idea pitched in the Interest Check)

Rules:

- The basic roleplay rules and common courtesy. We want to have fun here, so don't be a d-bag.
- Drop a character below based on the nine types of intelligence (and their characteristics from the list above) and follow the cs.
- Romance is allowed, but mature content is a no go. If you want to continue it, please do so in pms.
- There will be a post order and it must be followed. As such, if you find that you can't post for some time, please inform us.
- We all have lives other than roleplaying, but it would really be awesome if you could post once a day at least.
- I don't expect you to be a super awesome writer, but please avoid text speak and the like... Unless your character is texting and uses text speak, then that would be totally understandable.

Camael shrugged. "It is a nice tune," she admitted, though her lips were still curled down into a snarl at the mesh of bodies that surrounded them. The sinners in her midst continued to move to the music, pushing her closer and closer towards Abaddon. One thing she was thankful for at the moment was that the demon kept his hands to himself, not daring to touch her in the salacious manner that the humans promoted. Huh, maybe the demon wasn't all that bad. Camael smirked, shifting slightly closer. "I don't think you're ready for that, demon."

That word, acting as a metaphorical bucket of ice on Camael, caused her eyes to widen and for her to attempt a step back, only to find that there wasn't much room to distance herself from the man. She was caught.

bittersweetsymphonia's Interest Check

Algebraic! More interest for the Nine!

And you should totally pm me!

Some plot ideas... Searching for interest

Moved this thread to the General Interest Check area, and I've added some more things to the 1x1 ideas

The Nine shall become a reality!! Soon.

bittersweetsymphonia's Interest Check

Bittersweet here call me Spencer, you wonderful people and I'm putting out a few plots I want to play. Some aren't fully formed yet and I would love to hear ideas from you guys. Drop me a line if you guys would be interested! I am not a good gm. I have proven that time and time again. So, please, if you like any of the group rp ideas here, pm me and feel free to make it a thing. Just give credit to the original idea and pm me the ooc thread so I can join if I want to. :> Update 02/06/15 Updated stuff. Added things. Update 02/03/15 I got a new rp idea in the casual section junk. Update 11/2/14 Not accepting requests right now. Update 10/25/14 Basically, I'm now dumping ideas here. They shall be polished to become roleplays or stories later. --- Casual rp ideas:

Night Terrors

Nightmares have long been ways for demons to enter the Overworld, albeit only for a few moments. But sometimes, those few moments are enough for them to fulfill their purpose: steal a human's soul in an attempt that their own would one day be free. This truth behind our nightmares are shown in plain light towards some, the truly Lucid Dreamers. To commoners, the Chosen are those people who suffer from terrible Night Terrors, those people who suddenly screams at night, walking and talking without truly waking. The truth is, they are battling the demons that attempt to take them from their loved ones. And they're winning. Dr. Gavant suffered from the same thing as a child, and so he created an organization, the Trance, meant to further research a way to cut the demons' connection to dreams. The Trance works in secret, as no one would believe their claims, as psychologists meant to cure people suffering from Night Terrors. They train the dreamers and help them fight of the demons of the Underworld. But something is stirring. The demon prince, Beelzebub, is searching for a way to enter the Overworld... Will it be your nightmare he'll enter?

Cursed or Graced

Set in modern times where the Graceling trilogy was never a thing. A small group of people from all walks of life wake up one day with one of their eyes a different colour from the other and discovering that they have what would be called a Grace, a special ability takes them away from the norm. As to be expected, a lot of people found their existence to be unnatural. These people have been unofficially dubbed as the Hunters and lived up to their name. The hunted the Gracelings until only a handful remained. This handful began to band together with the help of Madam Joanna, who offered her bayside manor to be their haven. But... Is Madam Joanna the savior she posed herself to be, or will she be the downfall of the Graced?

They arrive in the "university"'s location but find that it's not an university at all, but a large mansion in the middle of an island. What is their purpose there? And what does Prof. Howard, a man shrouded in mystery, want with them? One idea that I like for this is that Prof. Howard needs the Nine for a heist.

PokeGladiators

PokeGladiators

The Story

Legendary Pokemon are known to be the strongest and most elusive bunch for Trainers around the world. To befriend one - to even encounter one - is not something you'd hear being talked about in a Pokemon Center. They are the rarest Pokemon in all the land, and so, people hadn't expected what happened when the first sun of the new year rose. A new island, set the farthest south from the regions, arose overnight. The island was completely barren, save for stone sculptures of five Legendary Pokemon - Entei, Rayquaza, Lugia, Regice, and Dialga - placed in a perfect circle at the foot of a mountain. It was a homeless old man who approached Prof. Oak and told him of the story:

In the beginning, Arceus created the Legendary Pokemon. But all was not good. The Legendary Pokemon fought amongst themselves to see who was the strongest. Arceus didn't approve of their childish behavior, and created the different regions to contain them. But still, the fights raged on. So, Arceus came upon them and spoke, 'I offer you a challenge. Fight me, and the winner shall be crowned the greatest.' And so the battle begun, but none of the Legendaries were strong enough to overpower Arceus. Not only did they lose, but the battle took up all their energy, giving them no other choice but to lie still in rest for a hundred years. As the war continued, the Legendary Pokemon noticed that their powers began to drain more and more. This would not do if they would defeat Arceus. So Arceus came upon them and spoke, 'You may only challenge me on the last sunset of every five hundred years.' And so, the time was set, allowing the Legendaries to further hone their strengths before they attempted to fight Arceus again. As the battles raged on, the Legendaries began to speak to one another and say, 'We are not able to defeat Arceus on our own. But I will not work together with you.' So Arceus came upon them and spoke, 'Choose a human Trainer to represent you in a series of battles.They will be your Gladiator. Their skills will be put to the test as they begin a journey towards my home. Only the first five Gladiators will have the right to challenge me. You will guide your Gladiators during their journey, giving them strength and wisdom, or forsake your chance upon my throne.' And the Legendary Pokemon agreed.

Many thousand of years have passed since then, and some of the Legendary Pokemon have found peace. The tradition continues, though, for no one has managed to defeat Arceus. Now, with the rising of Asmax, Arceus' home, it is time once again for the Gladiators to be chosen. Will it be you?

The Rules of the Tournament

• To be chosen as a Gladiator, the human Trainer must possess a special skill or characteristic that he/she shares with the Legendary.
• Once chosen as a Gladiator, the human Trainer cannot refuse. He must also abandon all his current Pokemon to begin anew. Any current journey must be put on hold. The Tournament must be prioritized. Failure to do so would cost dire consequences.
• Gladiators must first prove themselves through certain trials: creating and perfecting their team, gathering five stones by defeating Arceus' chosen Pokemon Guards, defeating three other Gladiators in a formal battle.
• The Gladiators begin at Kanto, then Johto, then Hoenn, then Sinnoh, then Unova, then Kalos, and finally, back to Asmax. To proceed to the next region, the Gladiator must defeat Arceus' Guard, who each hold one of Arceus' special stones, for that region.
• Trainers may only catch one Pokemon of their choosing per region.
• The Gladiator may only call upon the aid of his/her Legendary during a formal battle. This privilege can only be used three times. If the Gladiator finds that he is losing the formal battle after having called upon their Legendary three times prior, they must forge on using only their skills or lose.
• Gladiators may only Mega-evolve their Pokemon once.
• Formal battles consist of using only a team of six Pokemon.
• Once a Gladiator defeats Arceus, he grants his Legendary the right to the title of Pokemon God. He also receives the fulfillment of one wish.

Game Mechanics/Rules

• Basic roleplaying rules apply.
• Your Gladiator's Legendary has never spoken/appeared to them before the Asmax rose. They've only watched from afar to make sure that the Gladiator would suit them. Keep that in mind.
• Post Order: A --> B --> C --> A. If we've already started and you're new, please wait until the last 'C' or whoever the last person is has posted until you make your post.
• This is mostly free-roam, so your Gladiator can do whatever (train, talk to people, etc.)
• Every wild Pokemon battle one earns your Pokemon a level (15 wild Pokemon battles per region). Battles with Pokemon trainers earn your Pokemon two levels (3 levels per Trainer's Pokemon). An Arceus' Guard earns your Pokemon five levels!
• I'll allow you to select one unevolved Pokemon from every region to add to your team. And, yes, one per region (so that'll give you six additional Pokemon in case you want to swap one for another). How you encounter them is your choice. But once you've made the choice to pick that Pokemon for that region, you can't change it anymore. You don't have to encounter that region's chosen Pokemon first thing, but make sure that you encounter it before you move on to the next region.
• More might be added as we go along.

Witches' Curse

Ashville is an average small town. Everyone knows everyone. And no secret remains a secret for long. But there is something hidden in the heart of Ashville. Three hundred years ago, the people of Ashville persecuted three sisters, claiming that they were witches. They were right. As the flames licked at their feet, the sisters cast a curse upon the citizens of Ashville. One day, they would return. One day, the people will pay. This rp is set in modern times, with the citizens of Ashville being allowed to leave the town whenever they want, but they can't leave for long. They always return. All the current citizens of Ashville now are the reincarnation of the original citizens that killed the sisters. The curse was that the citizens would be forced to transform into animals, once a week. And the sisters will have their revenge... Soon.

Lunar Catastrophe

The city of Dremouria is the only thing left standing after World War III. Behind their strong walls, people live knowing that they are the lucky ones. They have food, shelter, and security. And they have the Lunar Catastrophe making sure that there will always be order amongst them. The LC takes place every time Dremouria witnesses a full moon. The LC starts the day after the full moon is spotted, and ends when the full moon is replaced by a gibbous moon. During the LC, citizens who were born on the month the LC takes place must compete, unless they are younger than ten, older than 60, or is given a pardon by the High Monarch. During the LC, participants are brought into an arena set in the middle of Dremouria, where they must kill or be killed. An individual wins by having ten deaths on his/her hand, and is taken from the arena and returned home if they so wish. They can stay in the arena and continue to fight, as more kills earns them more credits. Any and all forms of cooperation is not allowed, and participants who break this rule will be killed by the monarchy without any further questions. Another thing about the LC is that the people of Dremouria have 'softwares'. These softwares give them special abilites (i.e, telekinesis, etc.) and are made by one of the four manufacturers: From most expensive and powerful to cheapest and weakest softwares: Alpha, Gamma, Epsilon, Phi. Dremouria is also cut into four parts, named after the manufacturers. Those in Phi are the lowest in rank and constitutes of workers, while those in Alpha are members of the monarchy and high class people. Citizens of Dremouria may only receive one software in their lifetime and it cannot be uninstalled. Citizens in Alpha, or those who have gathered enough credits to be recognized by the monarchy as Lunar Guards may apply to get another software installed, but only the toughest of minds can readily accept two softwares. Most find that they cannot fully control their second software.

Moar group casual rp ideas:

• soulmates (I have a bunch of soulmate ideas written out; still working out on how it'll fit in a group rp)
• modern and known fantasy creatures (yes I have been stalking people on tumblr and I love the idea of this
• something involving the four horsemen of the apocalypse
• end of the world is in five days and an unlikely group of teens try to have as much fun as they can (no they probs won't save the world)
• an ultra fun adventure in the nine circles of hell
• harry potter rp set in modern times
• american horror story: coven rp
• a world where homosexuality is accepted and heterosexuality is shunned
• pro-bending rp (prior to the events in LoK, no avatar drama, just good ol'fashion bending battles)
• zombie apocalypse rp set in manila, philippines (because i am realizing it would be hell to be stuck here while in a zombie apocalypse)

--- 1x1 ideas: I usually play the female, but I can also play a male. I do prefer fxf, but I can do fxm, and while I'm not opposed to mxm, I've never done it before. As for activity, I'm usually online around the mornings and evenings gmt+8 since I have college classes. English is not my native tongue, so don't expect me to be perfect. If you're cool with all that and find one of my 1x1 ideas acceptable, pm me or post in this thread. Thanks guys. Even if the ideas are striked out, it doesn't mean that I'm not up to roleplaying them again.

Camael ran a hand through her hair as the music changed once again. "Will you stop doing that?" She knew it was futile, but she couldn't help herself. The soft music did nothing to calm her nerves. She saw the amusement on the demon's face and only felt her anger grow. "Angel of the bottomless pit? And the only way you can feel satisfaction is by destroying the purity of other's souls? How-" She was caught mid-sentence as a random body bumped harshly into her, causing her to stumble a few steps closer to Abaddon. The demon's closer presence did nothing to abate the discomfort Camael felt and her sneer grew as she continued, "How pathetic."

Camael sighed inwardly. She'd intervened just in time. The young lady's purity would be saved if she could just get her away from Abaddon and the delinquents that surrounded her. It quickly became apparent that Camael's priority would be seperating the demon from the humans. Once she did that, the rest would be easy.

She was sure that if she gritted her teeth harder, she'd have none left. But it was all she could do to not attack the demon right then and there. "My angel? Can you be any more obnoxious?" She rolled her eyes, not waiting for an answer. Instead she grabbed him by the arm and moved him away from the group, pushing him towards the direction of the dancefloor. Ignoring him for the moment, she returned to the group. She effortlessly slipped the young lady away from the group and towards the direction of the exit. "Make your exodus from the palace of sin, young lady, and never return." She made a subtle sign of che cross and blessed the woman before pushing her out.

With that dealt with, she returned to Abaddon, rage emanating from her body in waves. "Was it you?" she inquired. "Was it your nefarious ways that led such a pure soul into this pit?"

Hmm, details on the seer please?

Camael stiffened at Abaddon's words and her fists gripped the edge of the bar to keep from lunging towards the demon. She watched as he moved towards the group, involving himself in whatever they had to say. He was right, they were damned... But, Camael felt it. Amidst the group was a kind soul; a young lady who seemed for all the world like she didn't want to be there. Peer pressure, Camael guessed correctly. She couldn't let Abaddon further corrupt the young lady's soul. She could still be saved, taken away from this vile place before the demons feasted upon her soul. Oh, she could just imagine the chaos Abaddon could do. She had to stop him, even if it meant luring him away with a dance. She sighed and gathered up her courage.

She stood and slid through the sweaty bodies, cringing at the disgusting manners of these pesky humans. It didn't take long before she reached them and saw the light that the young lady produced. A lily among the thorns. And the biggest thorn of all was sat right there. "Abe," Camael called through gritted teeth, "A word, please."
