I had an RP idea that I like the sound of, mind you it is ripping off the book and movie the Borrowers as well as the movie that was based on the Borrowers, the Secret World of Arietty. The participants would play as tiny people also called Borrowers. As Borrowers we would be living in the walls and yard of a family's house. We would have to be creative to make our way through the house safely and discreetly and do things to make our lives easier like building a miniature hang glider to fly or making grappling hooks to climb walls.

The house it would take place in would be a simple two story house. Three bedrooms, Two bathrooms, the kitchen, living room and dining room along with a basement and an attic. In the back yard they would have a simple patio, a shed, a tree with a small tree house, a birdhouse and a beehive in it and a vegetable garden. The rest of the yard would be just grass, some small mushrooms and weeds. The front yard would just have a porch, a flower patch and a tree. Life as a Borrower would be no picnic. Around the house and yard there would be mice, rats, spiders, roaches, bees, ants, crickets, birds, squirrels, a cat, a dog, etc. The Borrowers that live in the back or front yard are considered wild by those that live indoors and rather than borrowing what they need from humans they hunt insects for food and make their clothes from plants and the hair of animals (like mice or squirrels) that they hunt annually as a kind of community ritual and they frequently use insect exoskeletons as armor during these hunts.

Anybody interested?

I am SO interested!

Ive been thinking of doing a RP like this

Yay! some interest.

Also, Katherin, if you had some ideas I'd love to hear them. Maybe we could collaborate on the RP.

Sounds...Interesting. Tell me good sir, what would be the main plot? Living? surviving? and how many characters are we limited to? Can we use anything around the house? These are things i need to know

im interested ^^

The main plot would follow the players, a group of borrowers or whatever else we decide to call ourselves from a group of homes in one neighborhood that all decide they are going to move into a new home that doesn't have any borrowers living in it and make it theirs. We all show up at the same time and, depending on how everyone reacts to having other borrowers around, we will either split the house into territories and squabble over resources or band together to try and make the house livable as a community. if we decide to be a community or even a group with different territories that trade with each other most of the problems will come from the mice and bugs that had the same idea as us, not to mention the family and their pets.

You can use anything around the house in any way you can think of, You just need to be reasonable with how quickly you gather the materials because doing so takes planning and they have to break and either be fixed or replaced at some point. The only things we start with right away is clothing, a little food and maybe one thing you built yourself, everything else needs to be taken from around the house to make your tools and home.

I was thinking one or two characters each, depending on how many people are interested before I make the official thread.

Hmm aight you got me hooked for now good sir....

oooh it sounds so fun!

Btw now i am going to try to tame a mouse or something as my trusty steed to ride into battle :)

Not impossible actually XD I had this idea that the outdoor borrowers would be taming squirrels so that they could get around faster and carry more.

EDIT: I'm working on the OOC right now by the way.

sweet! i think i'll make my character good at making clothes or something like that. ^^ and she'll need to be a good cook.

Those are both great things to have. If it sounds good to you guys I'll put a skills section in the CS so that characters who are good at something will be able to use that skill to get things from other borrowers. Like if you are good at sewing and someone else is a good climber you can trade some new clothes if theirs are getting old and ruined for something that's up too high for you to reach like some bread from the top shelf.

that sounds great to me ^^

is the ooc done yet?

He aint on yet give him a few hours.

The OOC is up now. it's here. Sorry for the wait guys, it really didn't take me that long to write up but I was a little busy last nightand had to stop part way through it and didn't get a chance to finish writing it until this morning.
