That was the title of the strange app that appeared one afternoon on James Masters' phone. He didn't remember installing it, and had no idea what it really was -- the name was even cringy as hell, definitely not the sort of thing he'd have downloaded on his own, but the message that appeared on his screen with the Waifu Summoner header made him curious.
Ready to summon. Summon cost: 0 Summoning Points
It looked like some kind of gacha game. Like those others that so many of his friends had fallen into. James had never seen the appeal himself, just a bunch of 2d images with arbitrary stats to lure people in to spending absurd amounts of money a far as he was concerned. Still, he had nothing better to do, and it wasn't like it was costing him anything right now... so he decided to take a look and opened the app, hitting the big blue 'Summon' button in the center of his screen.
Nothing happened. Then the app crashed unexpectedly. Further attempts to open the app failed. James couldn't even uninstall it, receiving an error every time he tried. Oh well, he'd just have to reset his phone later if he wanted to get rid of the app.
It wasn't until the next day, shortly after waking up that the consequences of James' actions were made manifest and James discovered the very first girl created by the Waifu Summoner app standing in his room, patiently waiting for him to wake up.
"Good morning master! Your summoning is complete~"
OOC Stuff
Hello there! It is I! The storytime fairy~ Some of you might already recognize this idea, as I did a much shorter, more barebones blurb in my general RP seeking thread -- this thread is dedicated entirely to the idea. Above you'll see a more detailed opening, giving you an idea of what to expect! Everything below this point is going to cover some of the details of how the app works, what I'm looking for in a partner, and general worldbuilding information that I've come up with!
With the exception of what I'm looking for in a partner, you can consider this information to be flexible. It's only here to give you a good picture of what I have in mind for the story and the themes I'd like to explore. If you like what you see, but want to tweak a few things, feel free to ask and/or make a counter offer and I'll try to accomodate you whenever possible!
An Introduction
So to start off, I'd like to give a brief overview of myself. I'm a long time roleplayer. I started when I was 10-ish, on MUDs, and still play through similar mediums today. I'm 33 years old, so that's a whopping 23 years of experience at this sort of thing. I've played everything from silly tongue-in-cheek fantasy stories to super grimdark horror, and I often bounce between different ideas and characters, so even if one scene doesn't appeal to you, feel free to keep looking or make an offer of your own! I might be interested!
As far as characters go, I play all kinds. Males, females, and even futanari. I only play OCs, never characters from established media or fandoms -- though I might use art of characters to represent my own. Speaking of art: I don't like RL pictures. It's actually a major turnoff for me, and I strongly prefer to use art to represent characters whenever possible!
I play all kinds of genres, though my favorites tend to be fantasy, modern, and near future settings. I like adult situations. Violence, sex, all of that stuff -- but I like story with my smut! I stick to a 65:35 story to smut ratio in most cases; lots of adult content, but never at the cost of the story! As far as specific kinks go, I have a few that I tend to lean on more than others... but I'm ultimately pretty vanilla, so if you're looking for really crazy stuff I'm probably not the fairy for you! Otherwise, feel free to ask if your favorite kinks are on the table.
The Waifu Summoner app is a smartphone application that has seemingly installed itself on a number of random devices. It's impossible to tell how many people have the app, but the people that have used it are called Summoners.
The Summoner app, simply put, summons a companion for the user. The companion is generated based on the user's preferences -- so a heterosexual male is always going to get a female summon, and visa versa. Summons are stronger, faster, and more physically durable than ordinary people, and thanks to the nature of the summoning app, are loyal to their summoner. Summons are mostly -- but not always -- human. Non-human races such as elves, cat people, angels, devils, and other races can be summoned through the app, but look human to anyone who is not a summoner, or a summon, allowing them to interact with the mundane world without concern.
The Summoner app's primary purpose is to facilitate the summoning of new companions, but its secondary ability allows a summoner to use the resource called "Summoning Points" to upgrade the features of the app, and improve their summons in just about every way imaginable. A summoner can improve a summon's attributes -- an arbitrary numerical value that represents the effectiveness of one's physical or mental abilities -- alter their summon's appearance by small amounts to suit the summoner's tastes, or even unlock powerful supernatural abilities to really give their summons an advantage!
The basic currency of the Summoning App is summoning points. Summoning points can be used to summon new companions, improve existing companions, or purchase upgrades to the app itself to increase its overall functionality. For example: Buying an upgrade that allows a summoner to have two active summons at one time would cost the summoner 'Summoning Points'
Summoning points are acquired by interacting with a summoner's active summons. The more you experience with your summon, the more points you get! Affection plays a role as well, acting as a multiplier for acquiring summoning points. The more a summon likes their summoner, the more points they can gain from interactions. Conversely, the less a summon likes their summoner, or the more afraid they are of their summoner, the fewer points they're likely to get from interactions -- but they may become more valuable in other ways, such as being more willing to work to gain their summoner access to resources in the form of real life currency.
The Summoning app actively encourages summoners to engage in intimate, or lewd actions taken with their summons, offering more points for more daring activities. This is, in some ways, the fastest way to gain summoning points, and actively helps to increase affection or fear, depending on the summoner's methods.
James is not the only summoner in the world. Others received the same application as he did at the same time as he did, and they all have goals and summons of their own! Sometimes, a summoner may encounter other summoners. If their goals are counter to one another, or if one summoner just decides to be aggressive, it may begin a conflict between summons.
Summons are a lot like pokemon. They're stronger than their summoners, and have a number of unique special abilities. They can take a ton of punishment and keep on kicking... but when they're up against another summon, with similar or even MORE power than them, then sometimes things can get a bit hairy.
A battle between summons takes place in a virtual space. The battle can be seen by the summoners, but any normal onlookers won't notice a thing. Once combat is over, the defeated summon has only two options: They can attempt to escape, returning to real space and their summoner as if nothing ever happened -- or they are captured by the opposing summoner. While captured, a summon dematerializes in the real world for a certain amount of time.
A summon can negotiate with their captor for their early release, allowing their captor to request for them to perform an action for them ranging from lewd activities, to more mundane tasks, to even engaging in conflict with another third party. Depending on the action performed, they are then returned to their summoner, and even bring a chunk of summoner points back with them for the trouble. If no agreement can be made, a summon is returned to their summoner when their capture timer expires, their summoner is deducted a large number of summoner points, and the summon enters an 'Exhausted' state, during which they cannot be summoned for 24 hours, but are otherwise safe and secure in the company of their summoner.
I don't expect much from my partners. Basic conversational English grammar, capitalization and punctuation, and a real effort made toward proper spelling are the most important things! I understand that sometimes you make typos, and that's fine. That's not what I'm talking about in this case.
In RP, I like detailed posts. I don't expect you to tell me how every room smells or how the wood creaks when my character walks over it or anything like that, but an effort to add some extra detail to posts about your character's actions and how it affects the world around them is appreciated! I believe in quality posts over quantity, and I believe in ICA=ICC (In Character Actions = In Character Consequences)
When it comes to story, I have almost NO limits. Almost anything is acceptable in the context of the story. The only expectation here is that our main characters are not going to permanently die. In your case, since you'd be playing multiple characters from the summoning app, this is less important since you'll always have at least one character to fall back on, and a new character can always be summoned!
The rest is mostly suggestions. I like partners who are willing to take the narrative reins sometimes! Think we're spending too much time in a specific part of the RP? Don't just wait for me to move us along, take the initiative! Make something happen in the story and I'll respond to it accordingly and play along. Jump ahead to a new scene. You don't even have to ask ahead of time. If I feel like we need to cover something else before jumping ahead, I'll just nudge you OOCly and mention it there and backtrack if necessary. RP is a collaborative storytelling experience, and I don't want to be the only one pushing the narrative~ It's OUR story. Not MY story. The only limitation is that you should never ever control my character's actions without asking first!
I'd like to see a post at least every other day if at all possible. Multiple times a day is preferable, but I don't expect it~ If it makes it easier, we can do the RP over discord, or use Google Docs instead of using PMs, I'm comfortable with all of the above.
Bump! This one is still WAY up on my list of things I'd like to play! If you're concerned with one detail or another, let me know and I'll see if we can adjust it to fit better with your preferences.
As a note, since it was asked in a PM and I want to be clear, I intend to play the SUMMONER as my main character in this RP, I'm looking for someone else to play one or more of the summons.
I will, of course, also be controlling various NPCs that we introduce, so don't feel like you're the only one playing several characters! We're both playing several people, and have more or less equal control over the narrative as we go on!
