((So, here's an idea I've been wanting to do for a long while.

I've even wanted to do it here, but I was too cowardly to make it happen.

Let's see if this takes off, shall we? ;)))

The Plot:


Five(or more) strange humans(or non humans) travel around America(and maybe other countries, too?) in a beat up pickup truck, helping people because they just want to and so that they have something to do, usually getting into adventures due to their interference.

That's it. That's the plot.

...

Well, okay, there's more to it than that.

See, in this universe, magic exists, though it's usually used discreetly, and anyone who uses it out in the open is either an outcast, lives far away from general society, or has been kidnapped by/works for the government. Then there's the player characters in this RP, who openly use magic and are hunted by the government for it.

The government hunts individuals like the PCs because of fear and greed more than anything. The people who are in charge of it fear that these magical people will expose its shady practices and maybe even overthrow it, but also see potential in using these people for their own personal gain, and have already kidnapped a whole bunch of magic users and put them to work doing...something. No one outside the government isn't really sure what.

You know Area 66? Yeah, that's where the kidnapped magic users and more probably are.

Oh, and also, technology also exists and is on the same level as it is as real life, with some exceptions being sapient robots and the like. The government mainly interferes with technology as much as they normally do in real life, with the way they handle the exceptions being similar to how they handle magic.

Last thing, I promise: The government usually hides the existence of magic and sapient technology by, ironically enough, using magic to make it seem like people's interactions with it never happened/something more mundane happened instead. One of the magic users who's tasked to do this is a man with the code name Red Herring, who will probably be a NPC in this RP.

Okay, with all that out of the way, let's go onto:

The Notes

  • Since this is kinda a sandbox RP(where you have the freedom to go anywhere and do whatever you want within reason), I'll leave where the PCs should go first up to you guys.
  • This is also a more character based RP, meaning that the RP will focus on mainly the PCs and their backstories(if that's okay with all of you). The government will be mainly in the background and, at the beginning, will only interfere after you guys are done with one location and ready to go to another one, with Red Herring(and maybe other government officials) always being late to the scene. The government could ramp up its efforts over time, but again, this is a RP which focuses on the characters first.
  • If you have any questions, please ask! I'll try to answer as soon as I can.

Posting my interest. You mentioned a crew of non humans possibly being the players, so does that mean that there are other playable species than just humans? Like do we have Dwarves and Elves, Angels and Demons, or something completely original. As for a character I'm thinking of a traveling healer, utilizing both his healing magic and a medical robot companion to help out with the sick and injured, especially when it's magic related.

Thanks for the interest!

Also, yes, you're correct! You can do any type of non human, from dwarves to robots to even something entirely made up! The sky's the limit for this RP!

Also, the characters in this get around by using a beat up pickup truck, as I mentioned in the post, so are you okay with this for your characters?(I mean, if more players join in, I might change the type of transportation, but I'm not really sure about that right now.)

It's an interesting concept, for sure.

My question is this: It's a sandbox, with character driven direction, but will you be controlling what happens in any given town we visit? I get the sense that this will have a kind of Supernatural/Scooby-Doo structure; come to town, find a problem, help with problem, flee.

I'm into this, though I don't know what kind of character I want to play, yet.

EDIT: by no means final, but my current ideas are someone with Wolverine style immortality. Not necessarily as quick healing, but longevity and the ability to survive just about anything. Or, a very young android. Non-binary, doesn't know a lot about actual society(but has a lot of scientific knowledge right off the dome). Probably they were rescued by the crew on a previous adventure.

Cool. I also have no problem with my character traveling in a pickup truck. Now I just need to decide what species to make my character.

Okay, cool!

To all the people that just joined, welcome! Also, should I make the CS now, so you guys can see what I'm expecting, or once the OOC is up?

🀘 sounds rad

Edit: I think an elderly lycan would be neatO. Perhaps the transformations dull out with age.

How many types of magic can we have, can we delve into other types, or is it just one type

Hmm...

I'll only allow 3 types of magic for now. Any more, and it'd get too messy/complicated for my liking.

Just saw the CS, I'll get to work on it tomorrow after work!

As for where my guy would be on the truck, I think he'd pick the bed, but he'd be open to driving if need be

Alright I'll start working on a character sheet. Probably going to crack open some of my D&D books for inspiration on what species to play as.
