Chances are the IC will be going up sometime soon. Like, tomorrow night. I have a guest over, right now, however, who will be staying with me for a couple of days; so me and him might be out doing stuff for a while. I'll do my best not to get delayed; super excited to get the ball rolling on this one~!
@Fox of Spades Ahaha, nah, you're fine. I'm putting off starting the In-Character for a few days. So, take your time reading up on whatever ya need to.
Hello. I'm Saber. I'm looking to spend time on smaller projects while I run a group RP. I don't necessarily do a lot of planning, when it comes to 1x1 'plots' (though I do usually have some stuff in mind), but that's not to say that settings are something I'm lacking in. Basically, I'm saying I'm gonna provide a baseline idea and we're gonna run with it.
You cool with that? Awesome.
I'll be adding more ideas, later on.
A couple things:
I don't mind romance, but I rarely make it the focus of a RP. What type of romance doesn't matter to me, either. I usually lean to FxM or FxF 'pairings' of characters.
Most of these ideas are intended to be for my recreation. I don't want to have to get into superfluous arguments or deal with drama because of my posting rate. It's sporadic. I won't drop an idea, but I may not respond for three days or something similar. You'll be given a warning about it, so hopefully no worries.
Mature themes are fine with me, and I expect these kinds of things to crop up. Much like romance, I don't want violence or outright grimdarkness the pure focus of a RP. I don't mind it being there, though.
I expect posts of about three paragraphs. Two is an alright average.
I'm also open to suggestions.
Ideas:
Port Crescendo is home to the Fighting Academy Network. A vicious city, in its own right, fit for a world filled by bloodshed and tragedy. To prepare their youth for success in a lifetime of battle, they begin early. All throughout their academic life, the students of the various schools of Port Crescendo study and fight in equal measure.
Or, at least, that is how it was two or three decades ago. Now, the Fighting Academy Network has complete control over Port Crescendo. The city its self has become a prison, ringed by gigantic walls. From within, what were once proud Academies...now fallen from grace pit their greatest fighters against one another for the F.A.N's benefit. Beneath the televised surface, gangs run amok within the city. Teachers serve the role of guards and wardens.
Unrest grips New Steel Academy, poised to be overtaken by their rival school. Their elites, in a desperate move, seek to parlay with their long-time foes. Within the Academy, several powerful students seek to overthrow the Elites and wage a bloody campaign against their myriad foes. Amidst the political unrest, a new transfer from a rival Academy does little but stir the already teeming hornet's nest.
Notes:
• Super anime-inspired, particularly by Ikki Tousen. Intended to be slice-of-life, along with combat and intrigue. Mature themes.
• Intended FxM or FxF 'pairing': Transfer Student x New Steel Academy Elite.
• I expect there to be chi-based powers and the like. It will be common for students to carry weapons.
• Combat will be a thing. I'm not super great at it, so some practice would be nice.
• Port Crescendo is a modern city and is policed by the F.A.N.
• I wanted to do something with school-girl samurai.
The crafting of a Golem is a sacred art, and their continued presence a blessing from the Creatoress. Within the realm Drasil, the Goddess' blessings can still be felt. Through the land its self there is a radiance, an abundance of the energy used to forge a Golem. It is in their capitol city, Volance, that an annual tournament is held. To test the best Runeworkers and Golem-smiths for a sizable purse and accolades from the royal family its self.
However, there are those less fortunate. Those who can not craft the Golem of their dreams, limited as they are by their father's forge...by their amateur Runework. Fate, however, has nothing to do with fortune. Oakheim is alive with its own form of Goddess-imbued energy; a divine fear that drives wild the ebb and flow of causality to bring forth an aegis against coming darkness.
Notes:
• Medieval fantasy world, with some steampunk touches. There'll be sci-fi stuff later.
• Intended MxF or FxF 'pairing' Novice Golem-Smith x Doll Golem
• There's a fair amount of lore for the setting of this one. We can use it, or not.
• Unfortunately, the Golem-smith already has a backstory. If you're not cool with that, I can play him or her. It's essentially that they work as an apprentice blacksmith (though they're more into Golem making), under their father (family owns a forge). Their older sister is something of a layabout and the story kind of starts with the Smith being forced to find her, needing her assistance with Runeworking for the Golem they plan to enter into the annual competition. That's where they'll stumble across the 'Doll Golem'. I'll play the Smith's sister if you wanna take the role.
• Golems are not the main focus of this RP, though they are heavily important. What's important are the Magi (mages and such) and the Gods; along with the catastrophe they may or may not be bringing about.
• I don't expect us to play just one character, in this one.
• I'll wanna collab on some stuff.
Victoria Waldgrave has escaped. The incident in London has been written off as the activity of a local Neo-Pagan group. Whatever ritual she was performing, we didn't stop. The hair she had bound was recovered, but there's been no word as to who it belongs to. The Boss has removed us from the case. We're being sent out to deal with another problem. Chief says that 'Dead Man' has to sit this one out. Apparently that Wendigo he pissed off in Alaska is still on his trail.
That leaves us down three members. Not a good sign. Thankfully, we've got the good luck to be graced by a loaner agent. - Captain Ezra, Division 3
Notes:
• Modern setting with supernatural creatures.
• Eradication of Supernatural Affairs = ESNA. A highly secretive government agency run by a nigh-omnipotent being known as The Boss. Composed largely of inhumans, or humans with extraordinary abilities.
• Intended pairing FxM or FxFLoaner Agent x Jiangshi
• We'll be playing a little loose with some of the mythologies behind these creatures.
• I intend to play the Jiangshi, you're welcome to play whatever you like (within reason).
• This will have a fairly serious story.
Frameworks, Aegides, or simply Battle Mecha. The tools of war that mankind now uses are called by many things...and perhaps even represent many things. Regardless of what they are called, what their Pilots name them, they are the children of Magitech. Powered by a Magitech Core and moved by the will of their wielder, through the Neural Inhibition Wavelength Adjustment System (NIWAS), they possess power far beyond that which once was used to slay.
For hundreds of years, the Frames have evolved along with humanity. As their mastery of magic and the forces once unknown to them increase, so too does their capacity for hatred.
...Even now, their fledgling empires strive to spread their malice into the Unbroken Circle.
Notes:
• I want this one to be a mech-based RP, obviously. However, I want it to be one with a story. What I've got so far is a blend of a lot of things. Primarily, we will be focused on an ongoing war between the House of Pentacles.
• The House of Pentacles is a family, a royal family. The royal family that holds dominion over the Nine Sectors. Currently a brother and sister, the only surviving members of the House of Pentacles, now vie for power in a bloody conflict.
• I have a lot in mind for this, but we'll discuss specifics (if you're interested) via PM.
• Magitech and magic will be available to most characters. We can discuss what that entails, as well.
• Intended 'pairing' is FxM or FxF: Ace Pilot x Sister of Pentacles
• This will be a very free-form, but hopefully deep experience. I want the whole 'epic scope' to be felt in this idea.
