Open for OC RPs!

[37 Cockatiels]

I'm Kit and I'm brand new here and don't have anybody to RP with yet.
I do some fandom stuff (I have a lot of RWBY and Steven Universe OCs) but I mostly just do stuff with completely original characters. I'm open to RPing with either one other person or two people, but more that is kind of weird.

[Kat chan]

Howdy!
Feel free to ask me if you'd want to do a one on one RP. I agree that too many people makes an RP kind of cluttered.

Hello there!

First off, I love your name and avatar (bird lover over here!) and secondly, I think you would be suited for the 1x1 section in that case. If you're feeling up to the task, making your own 1x1 interest check is a great way to find a partner willing to Roleplay those particular topics with you. If you're not, then I'm sure you can read some others' interest checks to find what you're looking for! I've seen RWBY quite a lot and some of Steven Universe, so I think you'll find a partner to Roleplay what you want.

Good luck and welcome to the Guild! I certainly hope you enjoy your time spent here.

@Kat chan
I'd love to start an rp with you! What kind of stuff do you typically write?

[Kat chan]

Well, I've done a lot of fanfiction writing in the past in the Sonic the Hedgehog and Rockman.exe worlds.
Done a few things with original characters, also.
I love reading/writing sci fi or fantasy. (Honestly though, it's often easier do do fantasy. Less techno-babble to try and make up.)

One of my favorite things to explore is elemental control, a la Avatar the last Airbender and such.

[37 Cockatiels]

I do a lot with ocs but not a lot of fanfic, and I love writing fantasy. Want to try and write something?

[Kat chan]

Sure! My schedule doesn't allow me to be on here all the time, but I try to check in daily.

As for what to write.. Hm. The possibilities. What sort of fantasy would you like to try for?

I've got a set of characters have lain dormant in a semi-fantasy/high-tech world. Each family in this world has an elemental affinity, similar to Avatar the Last Airbender, but with a bit more diversity in elements. For example, one of my characters has the Mind element, with psychic leanings. There's also the Sound element, and various forms of Energy... I think. I wonder if I can dig up the full list a friend put together..
It's also possible for characters to obtain secondary elements, but it's a big challenge.

Or, we could always start something new.

[37 Cockatiels]

That sounds interesting! I have quite a few characters with elemental powers that would work well in this universe (maybe with a little jury rigging lol)
If you want to write something with those characters we can find a way to get my characters there, maybe as travelers from another continent or something idk

[Kat chan]

That sounds good. :)

Well, we've got characters, but now we need to set the scene. We need a conflict to resolve, a path to follow.

Mods: Let me know if this discussion needs to be moved elsewhere or if this plotting session is ok to stay here.

Random ideas:
Fetch quest
Rescue mission
Escape attempt.. Whether from a natural catastrophe or some villain.. A natural disaster could be interesting with a set of elemental characters.

List of Elements I mentioned earlier.
I picture the elements having varying strengths/manifestations within families. Example: An Earth elemental family may have members that can only influence the ground, some may have members that can only influence plants. Stronger members can influence both.

The Four Elements
Earth – Earth (includes plants) based magic and manipulation
Fire – Fire based magic and manipulation
Air – Air/wind (includes gasses) based magic and
manipulation
Water– Water (or liquids in all it forms) based magic
and manipulation

Special Elements
Light – Light based magic and manipulation
Dark – Dark/shadow based magic and manipulation
Crystal – Crystal based magic and manipulation
Metal – Metal based magic and manipulation
Spirit – Spiritual powers, also encompassing
shamanism, spirit mediums, and whatnot. It also
coincides with psychic and mystic.

Psychic and Mystic
Psychokinetics – Encompasses all mental powers like
telepathy, telekinesis, etc.
Divination – This encompasses all forms of Divining,
such as necromancy, augury, pyromancy, well all of the
–mancy and what not.
Chi/Ki – Life energy or life force energy, or a person
or even the universe (Most likely that’s not accurate
but that’s all I can get from my current references)

[37 Cockatiels]

My characters' magic works a little differently, I'll just stick this here so you know if we end up using it.
I've got several elements as well, some are a little different:
-Nature: plants, rocks, dirt, etc. Specifically natural materials.
-Earth: rocks, metals, etc. No plants but includes manmade materials.
-Wind: basically airbending tbh.
-Water: water and all its forms. Includes liquids that contain water.
-Fire: fire bending but also light energy.
There's also other kinds of magic:
-Arcane: magic based on a certain language; tattoos can help channel magic and make spells less complicated.
-Blood: it's really complicated, I'll explain it if I have to.
-there's a bunch of other ones, I'll explain if I have to, but those two are the most common/well known

My characters (in canon) have tech that allows for dimensional travel, there's also a few dimensional rifts (also in canon)

There's also a lot of mythical creatures, depending on the people I bring one might show up.

[Kat chan]

Cool. Since your characters are known to travel between worlds/dimensions, the elements don't need to match up exactly.

So, which plot would you like to try? Something on this list, or another idea?

Random ideas:
Fetch quest
Rescue mission
Escape attempt.. Whether from a natural catastrophe or some villain.. A natural disaster could be interesting with a set of elemental characters.
"Let's be friends" - The groups are antagonistic toward each other, for unknown reasons. Maybe a misunderstanding. (this would work best as a sub-plot)

[37 Cockatiels]

I'm not entirely sure on the plot, I guess that's up to you. I don't know your world well enough to tell what conflicts are going on. I mean if one doesn't work we can always try another one.

[Kat chan]

Eh. "My world" has lain dormant for ages. Nothing much is happening.

I'm kind of leaning toward a type of rescue/escape from the storm/earthquake/etc thing.

[37 Cockatiels]

Sure, works for me. So do you want me to use my characters as they are in canon or change some aspects to fit more with your world?

[Kat chan]

Whichever works best for you. Since they seem to be dimension travelers it doesn't seem like it would make much difference.

(Sorry for the silence the last few days. IRL stuff came up.)

[37 Cockatiels]

No problem! I understand.
Ok, I'll just use them as they are in canon, and if problems come up I can change things.
So, do you want to start on an rp thread?

[Kat chan]

Through the Wilds

Topic created.

[37 Cockatiels]

Ok cool. Will you be on for a while tonight? If so we could go ahead and get started

[Kat chan]

Eh. I need to get to sleep. Early morning ahead. You're welcome to post characters and stuff, though.

If I have time in the morning, I'll try to whip up a startup IC post. Brain's trying to enter sleep mode on me.

[37 Cockatiels]

Ok, goodnight!
