Monster of the Week

[IceHeart]

Recently I haven't had much time to really make any stories I really liked so instead of trying hard to make something up, I thought maybe a whole different type of role play would be a lot easier.

My idea is I'll craft a monster of the week type of scenario that will be done in several stages and the a climax. As the monster or villain goes on a rampage anyone who has the time can quickly pop in to try and take it down, essentially a PVE role play where anyone can quickly hop in with a character for a little action. As such character profiles won't even be needed unless you feel you need one just to keep track of your character.

Pop in, fight for a few posts, then leave if you want. The 'main' characters will be the monsters themselves in a sense and I'll make profiles for them so you can see what you fought, be it a comical monster, or a horrifying creature. Anyone that participates in the battle will get a mention of being part of the clean up crew.

The only real limits on your characters will be to not make them all supermen capable of doing everything themselves. Give them cool powers and abilities but don't go too overboard, you want the fights to be cool and crazy, not over in a flash.

I'll leave this here and see if there is any interest in such a drop in, drop out type of role play. I'll probably have an elimination timer on any character that hops in, of say 3 days or so the monster can't be stopped by people not posting.

Sounds cool and pretty lax.
I'll keep an eye on this one.

Seems like an interesting concept.

[LostButterfly92]

Interested.

Is this based on or are you doing the actual Monster of the week?
I got the book as a gift, and then covid hit, never got a chance to play it yet.

@Kenshi I had no idea that was an actual thing lol. I mostly just meant it in the general story sense of how the role play would be like.

Gonna make a little backstory here

Alien Spacecraft

---

A strange feminine figure stood in front of the viewing screen, decked out it what appeared to be a light blue flight suit with silver plates on its chest, shoulders, and shins. Its eyes were slanted at a 45 degree angle and its irises were the color of blood. Her features were sharp and the body was thin and long by human standards, her height reaching a good 6'5". Her hair was feathery like a moth's antennae and the long 'stalks' reached down to her waist, which moved despite there being no air flow on the command deck.

"So this is the so called unconquerable planet. Such a delightful blue gem, if I am able to capture it for the patriarch I am sure I will generously rewarded and he will look at me with those strong eyes of his..."

The alien shivered in delight for a moment, before giving a small cough to gain hold of herself.

"Thankfully we have been preparing our forces for a long time despite the barrier it will only be a matter of time before we can crush any resistance!"

She put a hand out and made the motion of grabbing the visual of the planet in front of her, her fist clenched with great strength. There were two main reasons the planet was such a hard location to conquer: One, there were a lot of strange individuals with strange powers on that planet, ranging from the mundane to the fantastical who could put up a proper fight. Two, there was a strange dimensional barrier around the planet that was specifically designed to keep out alien forces, while not affecting the inhabitants in the least. Because of the barrier they would have to expend a great deal of power every time they sent something down, which limited the amount that could be sent.

As the barrier prevented any large invasion forces, that meant they would have to send down quality instead of quantity. To help facilitate her plans to capture the Earth and shut down the field protecting it, the alien had gone into the business of Monsternacy, a scientific and magical fusion technique to create powerful, and often very unique, fighting machines. Aside from that she had also placed a bounty on the barrier maker to try and entice some of the galaxy's most fearsome mercenaries. She could get the best of all worlds with her schemes.

Soon it would be time to start the conquest of the Earth. Buzzing a little tune she skipped along off the command deck to head down to the Monsternacy department to see what dastardly monster she would send down first.

I think I just need to come up with a rule set and then I can make an actual OOC.

[mantou]

Rules

1. Joining is very easy, no character sheet required.

2. When joining give a rough estimate of how long you plan to stick around with your character. Could be for just one monster or several.

3. While joining is easy, I do expect at least casual level of role playing, meaning written paragraphs, grammar, spelling, etc.

4. While in the roleplay I expect at the very least once a week posts, hopefully more.

5. A character will be considered inactive and may be killed off 10 days after the last post.

6. Each time a character joins, put that character in the character tab. All I actually need is the character's name and how long you plan to use that character. Anything else is up to you.

7. Try not to make your character too powerful, I don't want a bunch of Supermen and Goku's flying around beating everything in sight. That said be free to make some very interesting creations.
