Anthro based RP

[VyperPunk]

Just wanted to write and ask if anyone would be interested in participating in an RP that had anthromorphic creatures or furries as the main characters?
I can construct a setting, story and background but just wanted to see who may be interested. I wouldn't instigate tight rules as far as names, races and geographical locations would go. I would like the RP to be built upon from other people participating without too much anxiety or fear of feeling too restricted.
Seeing as I see a lot of RPs that are purely human based, that's why I wanted to pose the question.
Past RP settings I've had have had genres of action, adventure, fantasy and horror. I do particularly like oppressive settings, such as good versus evil and that sort of theme.
Look forward to hearing some input if there is any.
Cheers!

I think it could be fun, there was an old rp on here way back when on the old site that had anthro characters. It was a mecha battle type setting, it was pretty cool.
I also remember an old one that had the characters living as different genres of music in a digital world.

What kind of ideas to you have? @VyperPunk

Looks fun. I'm interested.

I designed one that was basically anthropomorphic Fallout. It was a fun time, but the first attempt (the most successful run) was pre-Guildfall, so it’s been awhile.

@Jinxlynx

You're thinking of GEARS, by @Silverwind Blade. One of my favorite RPs that carried over from OldGuild.

[Skwint]

I would be interested.

Eeyup, that was GEARs, my RPG. I had a very detailed setting for it, with it's own world and history, and logical (enough, anyway), progressions of the settings' technology and society as it relates to the world.

I am vaguely thinking of doing something with it again, but it depends on time and some other things. I'd want to retool it a bit if I did.

I'd potentially be interested in an anthro RPG if it was something interesting like sci-fi or there was some driving storyline behind it, other than a slice-of-life RP where the people do normal things EXCEPT THEY'RE ANIMALS, or something like that.
And dear god, if it's a high-school setting, I could not be less interested if I tried xD

[knifeman]

i would be SO into an anthro rp!!

[VyperPunk]

Hey guys!! Sorry for the late replies. It's really great to see a hearty
interest here. That Mecha RP also sounds like it was awesome. Did it ever conclude?

Alright as for genre yes I'd consider Sci-fi, horror, psychological horror or anything along those lines. A general good vs evil to greater or lesser extents. No slice of life or high school settings. Was considering the latter but it is far too overdone in my opinion and if we're wanting something grittier, the high school setting wouldn't transition well. Well, it could but not without Cringefest.

I'd like it to be an adaptable setting though. Not you have to be a certain race from this setting. Maybe locations I would like to establish but with room for other people to build upon.

I'll post an intel and let you guys know when it's up! Then you can read and see if it's for you.
It's hard to truly define what I'm going for because the ideas only tend to arise when I start writing ^^

@VyperPunk

Unfortunately not; it went through several iterations. Mostly they failed due to lack of posts, because people kept dropping out before the plot really got a chance to get off the ground. In one case everyone stopped posting just as things were about to get interesting which was massively frustrating, and in another I just gave up because I was burned out on the game universe and trying to build up some momentum... aaaand people kept dropping out.
Again.
It just got so tiring that I got fed up of trying.

Also most of those settings sounds pretty good to me for an RPG, and I'll be interested to see what you come up with.

[BurningDaisies]

I have a tentative interest in this. I'd like to see more about the setting.

[VyperPunk]

Thanks for your interests and Blade I already messaged you and just read your msg.
Will write back.
Thanks BurningDaisies. Have a few ideas but I need to narrow it down to a theme or two and come back and post here.
I may ask for ideas for what people want or I might get straight into it. We'll see how we go :)

Here is an intro. Let me know if any of you are interested and I'll flesh this out more and make a start obviously.
Don't really care if this is on earth or if this is a new world altogether. Whatever makes people happier. But I think
it'd be nice to formulate our own world.

This is somewhat inspired by the hunger games. Not a huge die hard fan of the series but the concept is interesting.

INTRO

Virtual reality dictates daily life in Santonia. An urban futuristic city with an affluent core where the wealthy and elite live in the central business district. A crying divide between the well-heeled anthromorphic beings whose expenses drip like milk and honey through their fingers without a care in the world, and the poverty struck who do what they can to make ends meet. If underpaid jobs on the clock were not enough to cover rent or bring food on the table, the urchins could expect to be found stealing, committing crimes. Or, gambling on the black markets.

The latter and lesser division would be found more towards the periphery of Santonia. The contrasting 3rd world environments scattered across numerous townships. Otherwise known as the ‘Shrapnel’.

Anthromorphic beings would often fight, either one on one or in gangs. Illegal street games of risk, matches between players outside of the government sanctioned tournaments as major underground sources of income.

When the rich start watching the brawls broadcasted from their television settings, the results are compelling. Bookeeping and bidding amongst the citydwellers brings in a whole new mainstream entertainment.

Although the virtual reality battles do not harm the players in anyway, the losing party find themselves sapped of their virtual currency and hard-earned gear.

A time did exist such that society was found to be more balanced and less totalitarian. Some speculate that before democratic voting was abolished since the last political administration was elected, that government was silently trying to push towards New World Order. Rumours concurring and begging the question as to why no aid is being leant to stop these inhumane games.

Sounds like it has some potential and could be interesting, I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I haven't read or watched the Hunger Games, but I've seen numerous other things based around the same kind of concept (The Running Man and Gamer leap to mind, among others). Sounds like it could be exciting and have some good depth.

[BurningDaisies]

I like the premise, a lot, but its not really the kind of roleplay I want to be in right now.

@Silverwind Blade

Thanks for the compliments Blade. Don't worry it's not dependent at all and requires no prior knowledge on Hunger Games. Just more the aspect of how entertainment at the expense of others and its morality. Also the sharp divide between the classes of anthros. Something along those lines.

That being said now I may be spending more time focusing on your RP xP

All good Daisies.

[Insert Alias]

I'm interested

@VyperPunk

I figured it wasn't especially dependent on knowing those things; I get the jist of it, and as I said - it's a pretty familiar plot, and a good one to go to for all sorts of reasons. It has a lot of potential to be good! All sorts of ways to take it, and different character motivations to get from it too.

And haha, you flatter me xD I'd still like to see your RP too - it's different in execution from mine, and I'm sure a lot of these good people might not be as interested in my idea, and would like their own anthro RP to play in too.

[VyperPunk]

Thanks for the interest guys!

To be honest, I'm too simple for this idea.
At the end of the day, would just prefer to do an anthro RP with start, goal, middle and end. Or something like that.
Coming up with ideas is a bit of a mission sometimes.
Once I think of something I'll come back and post a new thread :)
