An idea for a roleplay

Intelligent RPers or idiots; I think it's the GM who should flesh out the world of his own RP. And only rarely allow the players to create things themselves, like when lacking ideas yourself.

Well, that's not why I wanted to try the other idea, honestly. In the other forum, the open-ended roleplay went great and everyone had a lot of fun with the zaney adventures we got into that could suddenly shift at a moment's notice. I wanted to get back into it, but like I said, the one of the original form got derailed to the point that the original cast didn't want any part of it anymore.

I thought people would like it and we could just do something fun

Now this sounds very familiar. At the other forum where I RP, we had an RP about half a decade ago where we did exactly this. However, it only lasted 3 pages and ended up being a cluster fuck of random posts meshing OOC and actual real speak. It wound up just being a "post the character sheet (name, age, bio, personality, etc.) of your avatar" thread. It should of never had the name RP in the title.

Come to think of it, it was really CTFG in style. You could create it there and be successful because the ADHD and users with avatar-identity-crises syndrome would keep it alive.

Haha.... maybe... >_>;;


I know I'd post there. <_<

Well, in that case I'll try retooling one of my ideas. I'll get back to you guys in a day or two

Okay, I have something. It's still in a bit of development but here it is:

This is going with the premise of fakku being a city in Japan where people immigrating from other countries generally settle in (think of it as the Japanese equivalent of a Little Italys or Chinatowns in America). The city is built much like any other city in Japan with its tall concrete buildings, narrow streets, bright lights and so on. What makes this particular city unique is its melting pot community that has citizens from literally every walk of life imaginable.

However, just like anywhere else in Japan, Fakku is no stranger to zaney characters and strange occurrences, leading more than a few of the residents to be sucked into a crazy adventure of some sort. To make this work, I'm planning to have the plot broken up into episodes. It works like this

In one episode, let's say that there's a group of Japanese nationalist (yes, they do exist) is pressuring politicians to pass a law that will have the immigrant residents of Fakku deported on the grounds that they are the reason behind the rampant increase of rapes and other violent crimes occurring in Japan. So, to stop this, a counter-movement is put into place in order to prevent the bill from being passed. Once this conflict has been resolved, then another episode with another plot would begin.

Now, as for characters. Players can come up with up to three characters; one main and two supporting characters. If the player has claimed waifu from the waifu game or adopted lolis and wish to include them. However, waifu and lolis count as supporting characters, so players must choose carefully who they pick. Main characters are obviously the identity of the player which can be just about anything they choose... Within reason. Below are two examples of a character sheet, one is for a fighter character while the other is for those who wish a less fight-oriented character

Example 1


Example 2


I'm still working on some details such as the city itself, but how does this sound so far?

I lol'd when I read the part of rapes increaing due to FAKKU community. But anyway, it's a neat idea, and I don't see why you're complicating things so much with three characters and all of that. It's actually turning me off. Work on the world, plot, villains (if any), side quests, bonuses if players haves their character do something really good, etc.

If we ever need supporting characters, we can make NPCs anytime. I think allowing a player to decide whether their main character will be one of their adopted lolis or one of their waifus instead of having waifus or lolis as supporting characters is a better good idea.

Well, the idea of having extra characters to play with was just to give more options to the player, you don't have to use three characters if you don't want to and there might be players who'd like to use more characters. Though the idea of someone playing as their waifu or adopted loli would be interesting.

And of course there'll be npc's and the like, it wouldn't be a good world if there wasn't. As far as the rest of the world, I'm still working on it, so give it a bit of time. I'd post more, but I need to go to bed.

Aaand we're back. Okay, I've been doing some work on the actual cityscape. Below is an overview pic


As I said before, it's built much like any other city in Japan as the immigrants who move here are generally Japanese enthusiasts, so they wouldn't be interested in a place that looks like their homeland. There are lots of shops, restaurants, recreational places, libraries and much more.'

As for the character system, I'll simplify it and just have players use one character and create npcs as they need. As for the episode system, besides the overall plot of a particular episode, I also planned to create specific events for certain players based on factors such as what kind of character they are, what they do in the rp and much, much more.

For example, let's say we have a player who decides to include an adopted loli, I'd throw in an event where the loli's parents or some other immediate family want to take her back, causing the player to go through a custody battle that goes on for as long as it takes to resolve it (even if an episode's been finished).

Or, let's say during one episode, a player gets into a fight with someone, depending on how that conflict is resolved, that person the player fought with will come back, perhaps for revenge, perhaps to straighten things out.

So, the player will have to be careful what they do as things could come back to haunt them, or instead they could somehow benefit the player. At this point I just need to see if anyone's interested in this idea so I could try to brush everything else up and try to get started.

A Fakku City RP? Awesomeeeeee. The admins would be like, clan leader NPCs. DEVELOP THIS MORE.

I'm trying >

I actually have such an idea for a future RP. ;)

Oi, I got here first :D

Doesn't matter. Jonoe did it way before us anyway. Mine is much more deep/complex. It'll either be a FAKKU city on a spaceship, or the city where a Holy Grail War takes place.

Since the RP section might be made really soon, I'm thinking of doing it when it's up.

Ugh, I just can't win with these can I?

What do you mean by that?

Well, just about every idea up until this one's been rejected and the one that seems to have some promise doesn't seem to have enough to satisfy anyone no matter how much I try to add to it

COMBINE YOUR IDEAS! WORK TOGETHER, YOU FOOLS! Langying can focus on NPCs and quests, Rise can focus on the lore!

^^

Well, alright then. What do you think, Rise?
