Steampunk RP - Secret Order

[Xilaw]

I am wondering if anyone else had an idea of a steampunk set in late 19th century involving werewolves and vampires (got the idea from Order 1886)? I'd like to try out in such an RP but I'm a little shy in starting it myself as I lack the experience with steampunk in general.

Checking to see if anyone is interested in something like this and if anyone is willing to create the RP or at the very least co-host it with me.

My original idea would be a secret order that does anything in it's power to keep the Lycans and Vampires a secret (haven't developed the story enough to state a reason for this). Perhaps two groups of people, each specializing in a particular "half-breed". There's room for other fantasy creatures, of course.

i'd be willing to join a rp like this, i don't know about co-host because school is busy these days but if no one else will then I can do it

[Xilaw]

Great :) thank you for replying. Though it seems like the setting is not very popular on the forum, unfortunately.

[ayzrules]

yeah, true :/// steampunk is really cool tho!

[CLIW]

I'd be interested in joining, and there's a chance I could co-host.

[Xilaw]

Well the interest is lower than I expected so most likely this is another junk idea that won't be realized.

[Pandadise RS]

I'm interested :3 I'd like to RP, tho, not co-host, if possible, but might help if needed. :D

Agreed!

[Xilaw]

Alright. Four people, we're getting somewhere

Okay, I'm going to throw some ideas around and see how you guys feel about it.

1) The only two known half-breeds are vampires and werewolves and they have been fought back and kept in low numbers by the Order for centuries. Occasionally some are seen by common folk but the Order relatively manages to keep them more of a legend than reality.
2) We'd leave an opening for possibly exploring and finding new species, perhaps some were known from the ancient times but disappeared only to appear again, etc.
3) I was thinking there shouldn't be any plasma weapons and other such fantasy weapons, just silver bullets and hand-held mortars. Perhaps flamethrowers as well.
4) I'd limit the total number of RPers initially at 8-10.

I want suggestions on location and specific timing and if you have any ideas to pitch in that'd be welcome as well.

[ayzrules]

those suggestions sound good! if you're thinking steampunk, i guess it'd be victorian london-esque?

[Menick]

Interested. I was hoping someone would start a rp inspired by that game.

I have a few suggestions regarding the plot, please feel free to disregard or amend them as you see fit

. The human government tries to keep the two creatures out of the view of the human citizens . But how about it be a matter of keeping the two feuding creatures(Vamps vs. Laycans) from bringing their age old war to the public eye? It would add conflict all around and offer many ways for players to sabotage peace efforts, become wrapped up in corruption and lead to all around mayhem. :)

. Also, the rp could very well start off with some sort of betrayal on somebody's end that sparked the war in the first place.

[Xilaw]

Good input!

By the way, it doesn't have to be London, it can be Paris or even a fantasy city if the majority agrees.

[Pandadise RS]

A fantasy city sounds great, since we could build it up as we wanted :3

3) I was thinking there shouldn't be any plasma weapons and other such fantasy weapons, just silver bullets and hand-held mortars. Perhaps flamethrowers as well.

FLAMETHROWERS!!! *ahem* Sorry, got a little carried away here, my bad.

Also, the rp could very well start off with some sort of betrayal on somebody's end that sparked the war in the first place.
@Menick

That would be cool, but we'd have to define who's "the bad guy" of it all. Unless a third party betrayed each of the races, and Vampires thought the Werewolves were responsible and vice-versa.

@Pandadise RS

Perhaps leave it a mystery and see how the story develops?

[Pandadise RS]

Yes, yes! :D Our characters wouldn't know, of course haha

[Menick]

I originally thought it could be the result of not one party screwing over the others, but a misunderstanding between the three that led to continued fighting. But regardless if its origin, the war would carry on. So it could very well be a mystery.

I'm not picky! :)

[caliban22]

I'm in!

[Xilaw]

Excellent. I'll be working on a story after this weekend of drinking is over.

[Missy Mina]

Hey, if this is still open, I'd love to throw my hat in! Also, I have an idea for a bad guy/agent of chaos, if it hasn't already been worked past the element of mystery mentioned above.

@Missy Mina

Haven't yet started working on the RP so you are very much welcome to join :) Feel free to chip in ideas as well, if you have any.

I'm very interested!
