And so when you have one player who plays both of the characters, that means they are dictating and creating their own character growth rather than it being dependent on someone else's writing.

I think the failing of most Fate RPs is that they have each person play both a master and servant. The problem with this is that the bonds between the servant and their master are the deepest growth.

I'm sorry to people who had put effort into the RP I was starting a few months ago. My father passed away unexpectedly on the 1st of July, at the age of 56. So I haven't really been on here much.

I don't care what anyone says, I'm having the most fun with FFXV that I've had with a game since Metal Gear 5.
@Vertigo Just waiting on you to post, but not going to rush you or anything.
P.S. to everyone, this RP may at times use creatures from fandoms, but nothing that is super out of place. Like I'm not going to pull out something for the crew to fight and be like "IT'S RAGNAROS FROM WORLD OF WARCRAFT"
But some things could potentially be pulled from such things as say, Ark Survival. Namely the more, fantasy based things.
A friend of mine and me are looking for a third person to join us for a three-way RP. Okay I know it's not exactly 1x1, but it's in the same style of a 1x1x1. Before I waste too much of your time and make you wait until halfway down the page until you see something that makes you go "Nope, I'm out", let me get the most important things out of the way. This is intended to be a mature, 18+ RP, so I'm going to put a spoiler on the facts below.
Firstly, this RP will be very smut heavy. If you aren't up for that, this RP isn't for you.
Second, I play futa characters. If you don't know what that is, be warned before you look it up, it's a smutty term. My friend plays normal females, and we are looking for someone who either plays normal females themselves, or can play both normal females, and futas. However, if you play both, I'm more interested in finding someone who leans more heavily towards the normal female side. Say, 80% normal female, 20% futa.
Third, large chests are a must on your characters. I know, I know... that's... a really strange requirement. Please just bring it up if you message me, and I can provide examples of what is considered large, as well as just letting me know that you actually read all this.
Fourth, we're both pretty active. We may not post all day every day, but for the most part I believe we'll be posting at least once a day.
Fifth, I'll be doing a sort of screening process. It's not that big of a deal, basically you and me will talk first, get thing sorted out, I can act as a bridge between you and my friend so we can all make sure we're up for whatever it is that is suggested. Then once we're sure that we are actually going to get the RP going, and we're getting ready to start, then we can join a group chat and discuss it all together.
Now that all that is out of the way, let me just make this whole situation more clear.
A friend of mine and me are wanting to try a three person RP, and so I brought them here. The RP in question that we will be doing is... so far up for debate. We obviously need to come up with something that all three of us can take interest in and have fun doing. Aside from the more mature parts of the RP, it will need to actually have some sort of story going on. So, here are the few ideas I have that my friend and I have gone over. They're pretty simple ideas but we'll flesh them out more as a group, rather than putting too many details out front, and then assuming we can all agree to it before we even meet up.
1: A Marvel Asgard/Thor themed RP, in which our characters are Asgardians. The plot of this whole thing can be discussed further together.
2: Pokemon Adventure. Our characters take up their starters, set out to claim badges and become Pokemon Masters, and, well, that's kinda it.
3: An open Fantasy RP, in which we sort of make up the world as we go along. High Fantasy, with elves, dragons, and that sort of thing. Only issue with this idea really is I don't have even a single end goal in mind...
Anyways if you're up for talking more send me a PM!
@Vertigo Looks good, go ahead and post it and of course, you're free to join in on the IC
@Nate1008 Not sure why you posted again saying "okay..." because nobody said anything, but sorry no... I'm not going to have someone just sort of randomly playing the 'other side' because that would basically mean you're just sort of doing your own RP within our RP, as this whole thing isn't entirely about fighting monsters at all times, there will be time that isn't combat focused. In those times you'd be, again, just sort of doing nothing, or your own RP.
I'm not really looking to try and 'humanize' the monster they are fighting. They are animals, beasts who fight on instinct and their own nature, not a faction of beings with their own personalities and such. And they definitely don't fight with weapons.
And not to be an ass or anything... but please don't just pop into a RP and post your character sheet in our characters section without permission.
I decided to, as I attempted to do in the past, make it Chapter based. So in each chapter, our characters will have a goal, whether they know it from the beginning or not. Almost like a game, each chapter may, or may not, end in some kind of final boss. One way or another, the end of each chapter will have a pretty significant advancement in the story beyond killing a random monster.
The call went out. A new frigate was launching, and it was being lead by none other than the famed Captain Drake. Who better to Captain a vessel designed to kill monsters, than one who had killed a monster themselves? The Frigate, named simply, The Drake, was newly commissioned, and it was so new that the barrels of its guns hadn't even yet turned black from the explosions of gunpowder. Rumor was that there were weapons that didn't need powder in development, but rumors were rumors. Rumor had it that each city was actually flying on the back of a giant turtle, and that human ingenuity had nothing to do with it.
People still had their imaginations intact at least. But perhaps the name of the ship seemed a little much... but honestly, Drake didn't name it. It seemed the Admiral who commissioned the ship in the first place wanted a Drake captained by a Drake.
The name didn't matter, what mattered was whether or not it could do its job.
Sahara was on board the ship giving it a look over. It wasn't much, below deck had just enough room for a day's supplies, ammunition and powder, and the boiler and coal supply it required. Above deck, it was little more than two guns big enough to take down something fairly big, but not professional warship weaponry by the standards of the war that had awoken the monsters in the first place. They would do their job...
All she had to do was wait for her crew to arrive. She hadn't chosen them personally, another thing the Admiralty had done, so she didn't even know what was coming. She was told that her crew would consist of herself, a Helmsman, two engineers, and two gunners. This was already pushing the limits of the available room on the ship, but they would have to make it work. She could take the helm if needed, and surely they only needed one engineer. Two gunners for two guns sure but, either way they would have to make it work.
They had to make this work. This was a test, for all of humanity. All of the Frigates that had been built lately hadn't had much success, either destroyed, or no luck finding targets to hunt in the first place. But they would be the first. They had to... if they ever wanted a chance at taking back the surface.
<Snipped quote by Vertigo> FEAR of an RP dying is merely a self-fulling prophecy. Believing it will be the best Role Play ever in the history of role playing and putting all of your creative juices into it will help to make it just that. If it is an idea you truly enjoy, put all of you into it.
I think with most RPs what happens is that no matter how interesting the RP is, eventually, people just stop posting. They get busy with other things, they lose interest, or whatever the reason is, they just move on. And then anyone who does stick around and try to keep the RP going is left wondering "Where did everybody go?", and their own drive starts to die out because the RP feels abandoned.
It's not so much a fear, just an understanding that it is a thing that, unfortunately, is very common. In fact I would say RPs going on for a long time is the adnormal thing.
<Snipped quote by Bell> It would take a lot more than a few days to get rid of me. I was once in an RP where people took up to a month to post on occasion and I did not quit. I also had another rare moment. I was in a group of 8 role players who actually finished a Role Play! That is unheard of...amazing, right!? It took us 7 months and it was a lot of fun. I was camping this weekend and didn't get a lot of time to check my computer or the RPG site.
Alright. I've just found that on RPG RPs die off far more often than they actually get going, mostly as a result in how every 2/3 people who says they start working on a profile, will never be heard from again and it really just kills the drive to even run the RP.
So I'll get the start up tonight, and whether there's 2 of us, 3 of us, or whatever we'll get this going.
@Vertigo I wouldn't say it's unlikely that there's some sort of racing going on mostly with the younger people, this of course leaves them open to dangers such as being attacked mid race though, so could be that he not only won races, but out maneuvered some creatures that were chasing the racers.
