I'm not sure how exactly to go about it and would appreciate input from those interesting. This one youtube comment inspired me to do this, and I'm just making this on impulse :| .

This isn't right. You know these floors. You used to come here.

You and a few friends. Like that motorcycle guy who was always inviting you to his house parties, playing darts with a set of throwing knives he had bought as a joke. Why did he stop leaving messages? You got along well with him.

He wouldn't want to see what's happened to you. He wouldn't even recognize you in that mask of bloody rage you wear. It's strangely liberating to put it on and have your identity, your humanity forgotten.

The music pounding in your ears seems to give you strength and speed you never had before as you charge toward them, as you swing your axe in a pirouette and bathe in hot blood. You arch your back, you crow in ecstasy as you bring your axe down on one man who was still moving, twitching. Then you puff and shake yourself off, and charge up the stairs, the wattles of your mask sticky with gore. You're not done yet tonight, though. Not until the last neck is broken, when the bloodthirst evaporates in an instant -- and you're left alone and silent, the weapon dropping from your hand as the music disappears from your veins.

And then, all that's left to do is to take off the mask and go back home. You hope it'll just be a dream, but you always wake up with the mask clutched in your hands, looking you in the eye, waiting for more...

So, what's the overarching plot here? Why is this happening? Who is it happening to? Who is convincing us to do this? Also, will this be set before or after the events of Hotline Miami 1?

Thinking of this now.

I have had thoughts of how a hotline Miami RP would work, but it'll be difficult to both grasp that appeal and merge it into the original story design, all while avoiding having people turn it into a gore fest of an RP.

It's because the game is so dependant on that core game design that the story is really there to link it together and create a lil mystery. I'm interested, but not confident that the world will allow for it unless you make it an alternate universe (eg: both jacket and helmet died during their fight, thus making hm2 a completely different story.)

I think the best way to go about this would be to have a group akin to the fans (though obviously with their own twist) dealing with the events leading up to the end of Hotline Miami 2, or possibly have it be set before the first game.

A new gang or mob could be introduced to give the group a common enemy, and obviously it would deal very heavily in drugs, sex, and the other neccesities of an 80's Miami vice setting.

That asks a rather important question: why would there be a group of fans before Richard's trial? What fourth major criminal group would there be for this group of protagonists to fight, especially when either the Columbians are moving in or the Russians still haven't been dethroned?

Ah, but is Jacket really Richard?

One theory I heard is Richard is in fact Death, and That's why he appears to talk to the other characters, especially before major failings.

It doesn't matter what Jacket's real name is. What does matter is that there's very little reason for a group of fans to crop up before Jacket did anything that was made public, and there's very little room for a criminal group in a society that is still under the Mafiya's control.

As I said, akin to the fans, not the fans. Miami was a baaaad bad place in the 80's, I'm sure we could come up with a believable reason as to why a group of young adults tried to take some fucked up vigalante justice into their own hands. And it doesn't have to explicitly connect to Hotline Miami, just be set in the same world.

People sucked into the turmoil of the beginnings of 50 Blessings? A group of kids who have personal vendettas against an underworld group? It's worth brainstorming.

That's partly why I was thinking about, "what if jacket died?"

The second game exists because he survived and each character after that was created because of their connection with him during the trial, and the trial succeeded because he killed the Mafia boss.

Is this still going on? If so, a group of Fans would be interesting to play as.

I was Really hoping that this was going to be a thing. and to be honest this could be around the time Jacket was killing people, it could be in Miami, the group that left the messages on Jacket's answering machine were left on other's machines, if not around the time Jacket was killing guys and right after the events of Hotline Miami. Then there could be a second group out there killing the Ruskies and Columbians as well, Jacket's actions could've sparked more than the original group of Fans.

Also the Fans murdered gangsters because they had nothing else to do, it was almost their time killer because they had nothing else to do at the moment, they weren't organized and chose to just randomly attack places they saw the most gangsters at, why do you think they weren't putting a dent in the Son's group or the Columbians ?

Also Hiiiiii Rupdeus.

Alright then, I think I've got enough people to start this, so I'll ask this before I make the OOC: Free,Casual,or Advanced?

Casual would be best in my opinion. Most traffic.

Will the RP contain the vagueness and surrealism from the games? That's one of the main things I got attracted to Hotline Miami.
