Hello everyone!
I am looking to start a new Role-Play with brand new ideas! Please take the time to read this post. This might be a perfect fit for you.
This RP will be an original content only RP set in a modern, Earth-like world, with a twist. I will be devoting a lot of free time (thanks to the coronavirus) to making sure everything goes as planned. And rest assured, there are BIG plans for this RP.
Starting from the top, original content refers to settings, characters, and even artwork. You can, however, use characters that you've already used in other Role-Plays. In fact, this would be a great way to revive an old character, but if you used artwork from someone other than yourself (like something off the internet), then you'll have to remove it. There is good reason for this, but we'll leave that for later.
The setting of this RP is more important than the plot. We start with a world much like Earth. This world exists in a galaxy on the other side of the universe. Within this galaxy, a magical energy flows through space. It grants special powers to the inhabitants, both sentient creatures and creatures alike. Also, technology on this planet is on par with Earth, maybe a little further, given the presence of "magic". What we get is a fantastical world, surrounded by a modern environment. On a side note, I watched the new "Onward" movie from Pixar, and it looked quite similar to what I imagine here. This was already an idea before I saw that movie, so this is just a coincidence. And of course, this would be the more mature, realistic take.
Anyways, as I said, the plot comes second, and so here we are, on a magical planet. Our storyline begins with a familiar scene. It is night time in a large city and the night life is in full swing. There is a high society party in a private mansion. A thief has sneaked into the party and stole from its many wealthy guests. I will be playing the part of the thief and random other NPCs. Role-players that join this RP will play the parts of guests, guards, detectives, wait staff for the party, or any number of other possibilities. Also, characters can be magical or non-magical beings.
There is more to it that, but I'll drop the link to the RP at the bottom of this post.
Moving on, I need to talk about what makes this different from regular role-plays. In this role-play, we will be using other technologies besides this site. We will be using Google Docs to write out our scenes, and we will use Discord to communicate. This works best when multiple people can be online and available at the same time. To accommodate this, I will be online from 11pm to 1am Eastern Time every night besides Monday and Wednesday night. This new schedule is made possible by unemployment benefits, brought to you by the coronavirus.
Finally, let me revisit the "BIG plans" statement I mentioned. So basically, this is the first Role-Play in what will hopefully become an entire "Persistent World" on this site, a world of role-players producing original content. When and if that "Persistent World" becomes popular enough, we can move on to the next phase. This will be a stand alone website. It will start as a free, test site, but eventually, I want it to become a for profit role-play website, where writers and readers can pay to join, and where writers can win cash "rewards" for writing a lot and getting good reviews from other users. This site will be the for-profit, original content only, sister site to this site.

Because this is such a big project, I would like to include everyone I've RPed with in the last year to two years. I hope you all consider joining. It would be great to have you on board!
