All Together Now!
In the heart of a thick forest lies the small, peaceful town of Despourt. And like all small, peaceful towns, this one is under great peril. Having moved into an abandoned cliffside castle nearby, the powerful Sir Roiden and his army of necro knights have seized control of the town's residents. Desperate to rid themselves of the tyrant, the people of Despourt call upon the aid of a witch. She accepts the job, and quickly learns the basics of summoning. She plans to summon the town a handful of mighty warriors to free them of Roiden's torment.
However, upon performing the ritual, something goes terribly wrong.
Attempting to summon them all at once rather than individually, their minds and souls become a tangled mess of nature. In a drastic attempt to keep the newcomers from entering the world as a horrific abomination, she throws their fused souls into the quickest thing she can find; her stuffed bunny "Pik Pik".
Now a cuddly, mind flopping, three foot tall toy stands to defend the city from Roiden's reign, while the witch struggles to find away to untangle their souls.
What the hell kind of RP is this Salmon?
I wanted to experiment! I want to do a roleplay where everyone shares a character and takes turns controlling them. I believe this could be a very interesting, very fun roleplay with a distinct idea.
How the hell does character creation work Salmon?
You can use any character you want. Anything. Original Character, Canon Character, Historical Character, Gods, anything. Anything that you can make a personality for is acceptable. Keep in mind however, that Pik Pik will not have these powers when you're controlling him/her. Just because your character is Batman, it doesn't mean Pik Pik will have his bat gear. Just because your character is an OC with, I don't know, grass manipulation, it doesn't mean Pik Pik can talk to grass. If your character is wonky in the territory of powers and abilities, we can talk about it and see if Pik Pik will have it during your turn.
How the hell do we even roleplay this Salmon?
I would like to treat it almost like a 1x1, where everyone is taking turns playing Pik Pik. That means Pik Pik would post, then a GM, and then the next Pik Pik, and then the second GM. After the forth Pik Pik went, the last GM would post a second time, so that when the next round begins the GM's will respond to different people.
Lets say someone makes Abraham Lincoln as their character. When its their turn to play Pik Pik, they could call their character "Abraham Pik Pik", or continue to call him/her Pik Pik. Though I don't why you would use just Pik Pik, when you have an awesome name like "Abraham Pik Pik". What are you stupid? Get out of here. You would treat Pik Pik as if it were Abraham Lincoln. When Pik Pik changes hands, I only ask the following:
1. No external thoughts/communication with the other personalities. When you play Pik Pik, your character is brainwashed into thinking that he is a single entity known as Pik Pik. He will keep his personality, decision making, and alignment, but never his memories of before the summoning.
2. When Pik Pik's mind switches, he/she does not acknowledge their previous personality. Complete switch in personalities. Play the character as if that had always been its personality, even when four posts later you switch back to a completely different setting or dilemma.
3. Your character must never acknowledge themselves as who they really are. In their mindset, they have always been Pik Pik. They don't know that they have other personalities, or recognize their previous decisions as someone else's. If Abraham Pik Pik spills a cup of water, the next Pik Pik can't question it. That Pik Pik will retain the other Pik Pik's memories, just not the personality.
Posting and turns would go like this:
(Pik Pik 1 post) then (GM 1 post)
(Pik Pik 2 post) then (GM 2 post)
(Pik Pik 3 post) then (GM 1 post)
(Pik Pik 4 post) then (GM 2 post)
(Pik Pik 1 post) then (GM 2 post)
I am still working out the idea, and I don't have much time to right it all out here. Its a very confusing roleplay idea that I really want to make work! If you have any questions, list them below. I'm looking for 4 players to do this with! :D
