Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

I miss the old days of the guild. Back then I actually got people who were interested in my roleplays, or was able to find roleplays I am interested in doing. Now of days no one checks out my interest checks, and no one makes roleplays in the form that I like doing, and or have a subject/fandom I like (non pvp). I swear I could juggle all the fandoms between Star Wars, to Dragon Age and not find one person unless I let everyone have ridiculous open powers that turn the rp into a trollfest of who can out nuke each other.

Code Geass - Pre planning Interest Check

I don't believe in mixed factions if you're referring to us all fighting on different sides. PvP roleplays outside of the arena never end well, and I don't enjoy them myself. More over that's more micro managing for myself. I'm fine with swapping over to the Britannian Knights, or just general Britannia.

Code Geass - Pre planning Interest Check

Hello everyone with the new season of Code Geass announced awhile back. I've been considering GM'ing (since no one else will) a roleplay for the old anime series. I've before tried to make roleplays based on the series but to little success. Due to either my own ineptitude at the present time, or due to the seemingly inevitable 'dropping out' of players. So that I don't waste my time I've decided to see what some people have to say on the matter. I have a few ideas myself though I'm open to suggestions for new concepts if they gain popularity. Before I go further I'd like to make a few things clear if I am to be gm of one of these roleplays:

----I am strict on customization. Too much and the knightmare becomes barely recognizable as something in code geass. Typically I will opt for canon suits over fanon stuff. However if it means getting an actual working roleplay together for once I'm willing to listen under two conditions: The suits must have a similar aesthetic to them that the show has. And the weapons in them must have a precedent in the series. Likewise big custom suits like Guren, and Lancelot will come somewhere in the middle of the rp. Getting big ass machines from the start may sound like fun to some people but to me it shouts 'burn it out early leave roleplay immediately when I don't care anymore.'

---Post length. If I wanted to see one and a half sentences for anything I'd go under the free section. Bare minimum for any roleplay I handle will require at least two paragraphs for a bio, and personality. It's not just to hinder the player. It proves you're capable of writing a solid character, and you're not going to drop out at the drop of the hat.

Now with those two things to keep in mind out of the way I'm willing to listen to possible ideas on the matter. For now here are a few ideas I have.

*The aftermath of the Black Rebellion. The black knights failed and now it's time for a new group to take over to try to free the world. Namely us. We can be a group of misfit rebels from all over the world be it Japan or somewhere else. We can take the fight to a hurting Britannian occupation force and hopefully win. The setting in Japan is optional.

*An elite group of pilots from the European Union. Hailed as the best the sovereign nations have to offer we fight against the imperial knights of the round and move to forward take the fight to them. Reclaiming land we've lost and slowly pushing out way either east, or west in order to take the fight to the Britannian Homeland.

*Pre-Code Geass 1. An alternative universe where Zero died, or failed during his attempt to kill Clovis. We play as the JLF (Japanese Liberation Forces) in an attempt to take back Japan but this time without Zero's meddling we'll need to be clever, and decisive. A free world depends on our efforts. By collaborating with the Chinese, and the EU maybe we can make it out alive.

*Hail Britannia! We either serve as the Knights of the Round, or the personal knights of some princess/Prince working for some Britannian Emperor putting down rebellions, and destroying the opposing forces that stand against our empire. The end game enemy may be anything from the chinese, to the EU, to even our own empire's traitorous scum. Setting can be discussed with players.

Alright well that's the jest of what I got without spending too much effort on going on with stuff with the possibility of none of it baring any fruit. Feel free to talk about one below, or to suggest another one. The one with the most votes will win. I'd also like to say that at one point I've combined the ideas of some of these together forming a co black knight/European Spec Ops faction that died due to players not posting enough, and possibly me not weaving the story together well enough at the start.

Fate/numerus clausus (A Great Holy Grail War RP in Scotland!)

Not sure where everyone is at just wanted to post something here though.

How do *you* get into your characters' heads?

I think about their history, what they may have gone through, and smaller details that are in between the lines of the bio. I try to imagine their life, and their struggles and them adjust them for the roleplay's demands.

Weird Roleplay Ideas You're Afraid To Pitch?

@SierraI appreciate that you like the idea. I've been mulling over that, and another story in my head as just separate things I could make up but the concept requires things like maps, and world building that would take a lot of time and effort that I don't think would work out well on my end. I do have a somewhat fleshed out non-rp version of the story if you'd be interested in knowing how it'd go but I don't see myself able to fully make a roleplay on that scale as I'd have to micromanage the rebellion, and the empire.

I think it would be best to just get out something that moves along the plot for now so the others will at least post.

Reboot: Fate/Grand Order - The Worlds Made of Glass

Reboot Reason: Due to lack of activity on part of the other players for legitmate reasons this roleplay needs to be remade.

TLDR for the below: We're Chaldea mages. Our job is to fix singularities even if it may mean doing something morally wrong to us.

The world is a fragile place....for hundreds of thousands of years humanity as struggled through the ages to keep peace, and prosperity always falling back on war. Mages, heroes, and normal humans have struggled to reach out to grasp at fame, fortune, and prosperity. Fear of failure, of defeat, of destruction is always a constant thing. Something to be reminded of every time some single individual reaches out to grasp is the fact that things could go horribly wrong at any given moment. A single alteration, a single failure, a single deviation from the norm...it sends the world into a chaotic spiral, and a distortion is made upon an unsuspecting world. Mages are one of the more common reasons things go wrong.

Be it the Dead Apostles, or an overtly ambitious fellow with too much to gain, and not enough to lose the world tends to fall apart at the touch of fate's hand. Hatred, jealousy, justice, despair, honor, friendship, and other self destructive tendencies have been the cause of mages, and humans alike to fall, and break what should be set in stone. Guidelines, and history itself changing to suit the needs of the many, and the hopeless. Be it for good intentions, or for ill the time line of the world is easily disrupted...perhaps a young man wished for peace...perhaps they rescued a friend...or maybe they just wanted a bit more power...and everything went wrong.

We...We are the last line of defense a complex conglomerate of mages dedicated to protecting the timeline morality is not our concern but the world at large. Our name is Chaldea a organization for mages, and by mages. Our duty is a simple but complicated one: To prevent alterations to the timeline that would throw the world out of balance. The Holy Grail Wars are of particular worry to us as wishes are a fickle thing. It is not a simple thing to be a guardian...one must throw away their morality at times to preserve what was, and is. Even if it means destroying an entirely different possible future. We stand as Team B. A second team of back up mages in case of the destruction of the initial group. That has come to pass...Our first mission is to finish what the first failed to do. Tell me masters? Are you ready?

Hello everyone this is a typemoon roleplay based off Fate/Grand Order. None of the canon grand order characters will be involved minus perhaps the servants who are allowed within power limits (characters like Gilgamesh (Archer/Adult), and Heracles/Hercules (god hand like abilities are too strong to allow into the roleplay.). Characters like Shirou, and Rin will appear in timeline switches however there will be custom timelines/singularities when I feel more creative. The reason for the 18+, and horror tag is because we will be visiting timelines when things have gone from bad to worse and servants have gone awry bloodily ending towns.

I'd like people to keep in mind that I can allow nerfs to allow some characters like Lancer Cu Chulainn in as he has an instant kill move that hits a person's heart I can't let that sort of move fly. What's the point of a powerful opponent when you just fling your unblockable spear through their chest? If you're unsure, or need help picking/making a servant you may ask me and I will do what I can to help.

You may be a servant, or a master though I encourage you to play both in order to more easily weave the roleplay together. You may have a pick of any of the classes. If one is already chosen I encourage you to pick another however as this is Grand Order and not Fate/stay/Zero/Apoc there can be more than one of the same class.

I intend to play a Saber, or Lancer servant myself alongside my own master and I will ask for feedback on that if this roleplay receives more people.

I am looking for people who can write comprehensive characters, and posts. I am not looking for essays but fairly fleshed out characters, and posts. If you want to write essays more power to you. Magic in this rp will go by the DnD system of things were you can only cast one spell so many times before you need to let it cooldown usually for a long rest period. For example "I use fireball!" "3/4 uses left for the day"

Servants MUST be from existing legends, or fairy tales. Modern servants aren't allowed the most I'll allow is someone like George Washington, or a already canon modern servant like Billy the Kid. The characters may not be from other fictional works such as Guts from Berserk.

I am also Gm'ing for another Fates rp on this site, and I have college so if I am unable to post for a day, or two please understand.

Any further questions will be answered below

@TurboshitterTurbo the rest of the party is waiting for you to post the part for the next day. No one wants to post before hand.

Weird Roleplay Ideas You're Afraid To Pitch?

I wouldn't say this is weird but I've been working on the concept of a story about a mixture between For Honor, and the vocoloid song 'Servant of Evil'. A kingdom is sacked by a group of barbarians, who take heavy inspiration from mythical vikings, from the north. In return the kingdom that was sacked retaliates. A great war springs up while other nations stay neutral they do keep an eye on the war. In this war great heroes appear as older warriors die off. Two brothers in specific rise up one of them killing the enemy chieftain forcing the barbarians to yield after years of war. The king instates new members of his kingdom's honor guard but dies off not too soon after leaving the king's daughter in charge as his son also died with him. The daughter is a sweet little girl but the peasants soon began to despise her. Because unknown to her the high chancellor has begun to slowly turn the empire into a corrupted form of itself and feeds off the peasants for all they have. The kingdom's citizens revolt and the military is split.

In a roleplay setting we'd play aspiring knights who go onto become kings guard and then have to choose between the rebellion, and her royal majesty.

There'd maybe be a prophecy about the great future of the princess, and other foreign countries assisting the rebels to make things more interesting.

Ideally this would be advanced but i'm not confident in describing what I'm saying to people, or writing too much just to let it die off instantly.

The conflict would be: Do you side with the rightly outraged citizens of the empire? Extorted, and backed into a corner by its former benevolent rulers? Or do you side with the princess they want to depose who truly wants to be a good queen but is simply being puppeted by people far older than her. Is it right to put her head on a pike for her council's choices when she has no real control just yet? Brother against brother and all that.
