On the fourth day of Christmas Mahz gave to me four more styles of roleplay. Arena,1x1, nation. and tabletop

Ugh...I cannot write Tatterhood right now....

Tatterhood??

I'm supposed to write up a proposal for an anime based on the Nordic tale of Tatterhood...but I can't get anything right anymore...I have no inspiration...and it hurts...

Oh, right:
Queen eats magic flowers to have a child, but ends up with one really pretty daughter and one not-so-pretty one, who apparently is born riding a goat, speaking, and wielding a wooden spoon. The two girls get along very well growing up, even though everyone else is a little weirded out by the one who was born with the goat...

Cont.:
The not-so-pretty daughter is nicknamed "Tatterhood" because she decides to wear a tattered looking hood/cloak all the time, but she's actually kind of a kick-butt character and proves to be pretty smart as well as strong. One Christmas, a bunch of trolls/witches are causing havoc in the castle like they do every year, and Tatterhood decides to drive them out so they can all have some peace for once. She tells her parents to keep her sister safe while she does so, but returns after driving them out to find that someone goofed up and let the witches/trolls replace her sisters head with a calf's head. After scolding the people responsible, she takes a ship and sails to the island where the witches/trolls live and fights them to get her sister back to normal. After that, the two girls sail off on their own and explore the world until they eventually arrive at a kingdom and the people get curious about what's going on with the ship. Upon investigation, Tatterhood is charging around the deck on her goat, but refuses to let anyone see her sister unless the king shows up. When the king shows up, Tatterhood introduces him to her sister and the two decide to get married.

...Except, the sister says that she won't marry him unless Tatterhood gets a husband as well...

...so, the king convinces his brother to marry Tatterhood. This person is not happy.
When they go off to be married, the king rides with Tatterhood's sister, and the king's brother rides next to Tatterhood, who insists on riding the goat. On the way there, she convinces the prince to ask about the cloak, the goat, and the spoon each in turn, and they transform into a beautiful gown, a fine horse, and a silver wand.
When the prince finally asks about why her face is a mess, she cleans it up and reveals that she's actually really pretty underneath it all. So, the prince realizes that he shouldn't judge people on first appearances, and everyone lives happily after.

The end.

I know how that goes. Wish I coukd help. It's an interesting tell. What sort of proposed? Like to sell it as a comic or cartoon?

It's my final project for school this semester, so I can't actually be paid for it this time around, but it's a treatment for either a full-length film or a television series. It's basically supposed to end up as a sort of guideline for how I want it to look on the big screen under my own interpretation.

Hmmm... What about a few pictures of things that aren't what they seem at first? Then an narrator comes on and says "Not everything is what is appears to be. A young prince learns that lesson the hard way."

Hmm.......
.........There might be an idea I can use with that........It actually kind of relates directly to one of the big things we learned in class, anyway...

Hurray!!! Something to work with!

On the fifth day of Christmas Mahz gave to me five helpful links.(yes I know there's more than 5 ;p don't go ruining my theme!) Roleplayer guild, users, chat, view raw, and permanent link

Okay so, I'm from the original RP and I don't want to start over. I have an idea but I doubt you all will go for it.
*deep breath*
So I had this character Gwen and she was head of the savants but the RP fell apart, as did the second. Being the lazy and somewhat crafty person I am I decided I would offer you a proposition, you don't have to take it and no hard feelings if you don't, I plan I rejoining any way. So my idea was, if this RP was lacking a bad guy or an icon for the Admins, Gwen could be that. Now in order for this to really work I need one big thing.
Gwen is going against the foundations of this RP, she left on an 'assignment' (just an example of what you could call it) and is now returning to restore 'true order and justice' to the academy. I came up with a few ways to justify this, the cause could be recruitment or taking care of loose ends (escapees or people who know too much) or maybe even meeting with shady people on behalf of the Academy.
I know this is a lot to ask as I'm asking to break one of the central ideas of the roleplay but I think it could benefit everyone if they had someone to hate, afterall that's teenage angst for you.

The only problem I have with this idea is that it gives Gwen a lot of control over the other character

That is true, that's the only thing I was having trouble working out. I was thinking that she would have to follow her own rules but I think it would be fair to say that since she is the Admin's prized pet, they keep her on a short leash. They won't let her run around forcing others to do what she wants without good reason, if she did the Admins would look bad and I was thinking that perhaps one of the traits of these admin's is their vanity, I'm of course assuming their partially human.
We could set up a system where if Gwen wanted to force someone to do something or punish someone on a character harming scale she would have to receive permission from the Admins to do so and being the mini-bureaucrat that she is breaking that rule will hurt her more than the Admins will when they catch her.
(ex. she could tell a person they are not allowed to use the pool for a week because of bad behavior but not give them a Detention on a whim)
Shes kind of like a figure head who the Admins can and will replace in a second.

I've changed a few things from the original. Administration has control of everything. They can determine what is taught if they choice. The have random rules. For example Katherin just got beaten for hugging Kido. If Gwen was their pet she would have nearly as much power. You basically making her second in command. Which means she could give them detention. Take away means, pick class subjects, ect.

I see, I will hopefully have a solution to that problem soon but in the mean time. I'm open to suggestions.
