I see all these anime again. Ouran High School Host Club, Angel Beats, and it makes me want to do an RP about those. All things have roleplaying potential. That's why I can't really help but join almost every RP that I see-- because all have good potential. I need to focus on just the ones I'm in right now though right now. I need to complete at least one.

[b]Zhu Shang Qiao rpSo I have an idea for an rp that would take place in science fiction/fantasy universe I've created over the past few years. The setting as a whole will take long to much for me to type up, but I can give a quick summary of the central landmass the rp itself will take place on (though the characters don't have to be from there)
As for the rp itself it will focus on a group of people brought hired by a rich unseen benefactor in order to collect some relics for him from around the Zhu lands. Where it goes from there is up to the choices that are made by the players, although I'll be guiding it in certain directions as a result of them. The rp will use a quasi stat system, not with dice rolls but merely something to make it easy to note what a character can and can't use or learn and how they'd match up etc. I won't have a character myself persay but will be play all the needed npcs which if characters end up spending a lot of time with them, will obviously end up being essentially me playing the characters.
So yeah if people are interested in trying out my setting with an rp just sign up. [/B]
I remember glancing at this while I was sick but now that I'm good I read through most (except for the land it takes place on). The general idea looks good. By the general idea, I'm referring to the idea that we are in search of relics. Personally, for something like this which could be all too big for us to handle you should split it up. I would say make it like a trilogy.
Part 1- Having us recruited and go through hell at the end to find one relic as well as find some kind of a main foe that we are fighting against. Not necessarily a "battle" term of fighting, but like a race. This person wants the artifacts too, who can get to them first. Give us a drive.
Part 2- This one should have us split up, so almost all the artifacts are found. This would essentially be the Story about Our Stories. While the first one establishes "We are hunting artifacts". The second one establishes "this is who we are, and this is why we are hunting artifacts". It draws people in and makes them want to know more. "What happened to Xanatos after that attractive Snake woman slithered off with his heart?"
Part 3- Essentailly, the Mass Effect 3 (without the terrible ending). From Part 1 and Part 2 our characters have showed their drive to accomplish their task, we have looked into them and understood who they are and why they do this-- Part 3 reflects and shows just what these artifacts are which should inevitably lead to a big show down where Xanatos gets stabbed and is bleeding out while Scenario holds onto his hand listening to his dying breath and telling him in a cool passionate voice "It's okay man.... I'm here for you..." Cue big bucks for fitting in a Yaoi scene.
I don't need detail to the teeth, but I do need to know more then just "We're Hunting Artifacts". I like it though. If you make it, I will join.
I am here guys... still... just floating about... it is maddening waiting for people to post. But this festive month lets give it a real go! Lets bring back the Christmas RP and have some fun, lets make new games, but most importantly, lets finish the old ones, and even more importantly enjoy yourselves!
