Hello! I'm looking for a partner for an RP idea that I've been thinking about for the past few days. I'm specifically seeking female characters, but I'll play male, female, or something in between without much concern.
The RP takes place in a world set in the future, where just a few years prior astronomers discovered something terrible -- a massive asteroid, on a collision course with Earth. They didn't inform the public, but instead went to the governments of the world to announce their findings. An emergency summit was called, and the leaders of the world put aside their differences for a time, as they got together to discuss the looming threat to humanity.
Eventually, a decision was reached on what to do, and the governments of the world turned to an unlikely source to save the human race. A game company called ArchoTech. At the time, ArchoTech had been hard at work creating their magnum opus, a fully immersive AI-driven online game. It was meant to revolutionize the gaming landscape, and give gamers a chance to really live out their lives in other worlds. At the time, the idea was to create several worlds for potential players to explore, freely bouncing around between them as the mood took them on any given day -- but when the government came to them for help, their plans changed.
Now on a strict deadline, many of the game elements were scrapped, discarded as the company prepared to convert their game system into something different... a digital ark, that would house the collective consciousness of humanity even as their planet was destroyed. Instead of creating a wide array of potential worlds to explore, they focused on the one they'd already started, a fantasy setting. It would be a fresh start for humanity, a world where everyone began as equals once again without political power or immense wealth to place one person over another.
Even as the developers worked tirelessly on their game turned digital ark though, the higher ups in the company were making other plans. They made deals with the leaders of various nations -- often the worst of humanity, who wanted to maintain their power even after entering this new fantasy world. These people made deals to acquire special abilities that would put them well above the average rank and file of humanity, and allow them to continue to rule with an iron fist and exert their rule for the rest of their digital eternity... Except one developer figured it out. They found a space that carried one of the abilities, and swiftly put two and two together to figure out exactly what was going on. As the deadline closed in, that developer did something desperate in an attempt to preserve the vision that they and the rest of the devs had for the game, they went into the game early and stole one of the abilities for themselves -- and then intentionally locked their consciousness inside before anyone could figure out what they were doing and try to stop them.
With only days away from their deadline, the rest of the company could do nothing. They released the game, and humanity soon logged in for the first -- and last -- time, as the servers were soon disconnected from the main grid, and sent into space aboard an unmanned spacecraft to drift for the next several thousand years, until it one day found a habitable planet where it could begin the process of recreating humanity from scratch, using the genetic information stored on board.
And that's it! That's the pitch. My plan is to play the dev who goes in and steals one of the special abilities for themself -- your character would likely be a would-be player who suddenly discovers that they can't log back out anymore. At some point in the story, the plan would be for your character to ALSO get one of these abilities, so don't feel like I'm trying to hoard all the power and influence for myself. XD
If the plot sounds like something you'd be interested in, let me know! I'd be happy to work with you to figure out where we go from here. Before I sign off, here's a couple things I feel might be important to know:
*I play in third person past tense, and expect my partner to follow suit.
*Smut is good, I enjoy it, and I don't typically like to fade to black. That said, I'd like to keep things at a solid 60/40 ratio of plot to smut at most.
*I like faceclaims, but I would strongly prefer that they be art/anime and not photos of real people.
