I had this idea for an anime/manga styled RP. Where players would create a character in a normal world setting, and the GM would make posts as NPC (non player characters) or make posts stating events/environment changes that characters must RP with accordingly.
Over time, depending on the player's choices the world would change and the characters people made could possibly get randomly selected powers and put into random senarios where they may have to fight eachother, save NPC, or fight off enemies, etc. The GM could play as many NPC characters or their own characters or senarios as needed/wanted.
The setting that I'm thinking of starts off as a normal slice of life for while, some players longer, and each person will be randomly selected but eventually gain a senario where they have to decide to do something about it until the world becomes fantasy sci-fi. This will entail players possibly gaining robotic, metalic, energy, alien-like, or other bioengineer powers. Fighting off aliens, surviving experiments, and or/saving the world if we get far enough. So characters cannot be made with scifi traits in the beginning.
But this will be the first time I ever do something like this, so is anyone interested in giving it a shot?
I think that I will limit it to 6 people max, at first. And I want to make sure players are ok with the slice of life genre, because I don't want to jump too quickly into fantasy. Players must be willing to play along with the senarios and accept which power they get, or RP to attempt to change it. Or PM me if they want to die or leave the RP. Also note, I plan on having varying levels of gore depending on the situation.
