@Tybalt Capulet

I think the writer bowed out 3 months ago

@RumikoOhara

Ah, bummer. It looked pretty sweet.

@Tybalt Capulet

I know, I made a character and poof

[RumikoOhara]

I almost wished there was some way to carry on because so many RP seem to fail lately

[Tybalt Capulet]

@RumikoOharaRight? I mean, I'm kind of in a bunch of them at the moment, but this one looked like something special.

[RumikoOhara]

I remember when the Free section was the most active of the RP levels but not this year

[Noctemys]

I'd like to join this but I'm working on the cs. Will post here when done.
If all we need is a gm to kick things off I'd like to volunteer. Who'd like to co-gm with me?

[RumikoOhara]

@BeautyoftheDark

I could help as Co-GM

Name: Jade M. Everdeen
Age: 24
Sex: female
Skills/Profession/Trade (Back these up in your bio): Comic/Manga illustrator + Youtuber
Short bio (not too revealing): Jade got the art bug around highschool and has been taking up the habit of sketching and drawing for years. She would track her progress and post them via YouTube just to keep a visual on things. Seeing as her work became popular once she posted her first official comic online and viewers requested tutorials —a hobby became a job and has been so ever since. Jade works from home and loves painting beautiful pictures all day.

[Noctemys]

@RumikoOhara awesome! Now since the plot was a bit vague what ideas did you have for what happens to these Muses? Should their powers reflect their skills? Do they end up in an alternate dimension? Maybe that's what happens and so the conflict could involve figuring out how to get back home... Alive.

[RumikoOhara]

First time doing this, but I figured why not?

Here's the premise:

You all will make a character. The character should be modern day, no powers or magic or anything. Just a profession, or trade, or really, anything you'd be able to see in our life right now. Hell, you can play a rich person if you want.

The catch is, you won't know the scenario until we start. I could toss us into a sudden fantasy plot, or everyone gains superhero powers, or it turns into horror. We won't know. Just know that your characters will start near each other, so be ready for that when you post.

@Narias

The Topic Writer made Vague comment on something odd happening to our party

Thrown into a Fantasy World

Super Powers

Horror (though this one is hard to figure)

Basically, this is a Normals are Special if you take it that way

Jade could become a great artist; Hana the Engineer of grand castles and that’s if we only have mundane skills

@BeautyoftheDark

[RumikoOhara]

I like that it's called "Modern Day Slice of Life, only... not?"

Whether or not we gain Super Powers or Magical, fly into the future or the past would like this to be more on living than kicking but

I'd love to find myself in a medieval world where now I have to translate my skills into a way of making money. I have to think of how to make the Medieval world comfortable for me.

Or I find myself suddenly with some Super Ability (which to make it fun should come with obvious visible effects) Government intrusion should be bureaucratic rather than sinister.

Sorry Mr. Metal Mike but you are a class 4 power type and limited to the class 4 living spaces, oh and your community service is due

[Noctemys]

@RumikoOharaEach Muse can dream of meeting a familiar that may grant them an adventure along with powers and abilities beyond their most wildest imaginings. Upon accepting this faustien contract they awaken in a Medieval world—complete with magic, abilities, dragons and the same familiar who'll in essence "show them the ropes".

However, as time passes, they end up struggling against a system designed to work against them.

[RumikoOhara]

I like the idea @BeautyoftheDark

[Tybalt Capulet]

This looks like it could end up awesome, especially if you two are willing to push it to be what it could be. If y'all could keep planning in a pm, though, so the "twist" aspect stays a twist, that'd be lovely. Thanks much!

[RumikoOhara]

LOL that was to be a suggestion soon but thanks for the input
