The Searchers: The Sword of Kings Interest Check

Pennslyvania James rides again

The Searchers: The Sword of Kings Interest Check

Man, I'm so proud of how that Font Meme looks. Anyways, I'm interested in running a relatively small-group RP based around globe-trotting adventure, betrayal, ancient ruins, explosions and high-octane excitement like you'd find in an Indiana Jones movie or in a 3-hour play session of Uncharted.

The roleplay follows a small group of knowledge seekers, adventurers, grave robbers, and the foolish as they search for the lost treasures of Avalon, including the legendary sword Excalibur. Their adventure begins in the United Kingdom but will extend across the world from the deserts of Syria to the Chateaus of France and ancient coastal castles in Portugal and the Mediterranian. Alliances will shift, friendships will be made and broken, and the balance of the world will be put into question as the heroes fight against and are tempted by an evil group aiming to use the ancient treasure for their own means.

The big character hook will be focused on every character having a major character flaw of some sort that the other writers aren't aware of. The flaws could be phobias that force them to abandon their companions in dire situations, greed which may have them consider working for the enemy for a higher paycheck, lies at who they really are...interesting things that can turn the plot on its head.

Anyways! I'm working on an OOC for now, but it would be very cart before the horse if people weren't interested in the RP. Lemme know if there's any clarification, interest, problems with my ideas, etc.

Take it away Nate!

An adventure roleplay in the vein of Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones and the Librarian. The roleplay follows a small group of knowledge seekers, adventurers, grave robbers and the foolish as they search for the lost treasures of Avalon, including the legendary sword Excalibur. Their adventure begins in the United Kingdom but will extend across the world from the deserts of Syria to the Chateaus of France and ancient coastal castles in Portugal and the Mediterranian. Alliances will shift, friendships will be made and broken, and the balance of the world will be put into question as the heroes fight against and are tempted by an evil group aiming to use the ancient treasure for their own means.

After all, who doesn't want to be a Nathan Drake or Laura Croft?

The setting begins in modern times, somewhere in the 2010s-2020s. I'm not too much of a stickler on the "present year" since so much setup has gone more in the "what-if" historical piece of the roleplay. The roleplay begins in the United Kingdom with a research expedition that claims to have found the island of Avalon and a set of ruins that may hold treasures dating back to the 6th century. What follows is a globe-trotting adventure to the deserts of Syria, the Chateaus of France, castles of Portugal, and the jungles of South America, all in a race to find the legendary sword which may give the power to defeat any army.

While any Drew roleplay is focused first on character, action, and adventure rank extremely high on this roleplay as well. Gunfights, chases, dangerous climbs, ancient traps, and more await the team, as does betrayal, capture, death, and destruction. If you've ever watched a film based on the adventure genre or played an adventure game like Uncharted, you know that there are lots of near-fatal moments, crazy jumps, and constant spikes in action and exploration, something I hope to have in this RP. Fair warning about politics as well, the villains of the RP will be a mix of hired mercenaries, enemy treasure hunters, and a secretive group of neo-fascists. Literally modern-day Indiana Joneses battling modern-day Nazis.

Your character has been chosen for this expedition to Avalon for a reason. Perhaps you're a security expert, a wily thief well known for breaking into any cage, a brilliant academic who speaks twenty languages...your character has some sort of hook on why they have joined the team. The group should all bring different strengths and weaknesses for the group, after all, even Indiana Jones had allies assisting him in his adventure. No Short Rounds this time though, unless you can create a darn good reason why a teenager is working alongside rough and tumble archeologists, linguists, soldiers, thieves, and con-men.

The other big focus I want the characters to have revolves around a Character Flaw. Every character will need to have some form of character flaw that they battle throughout the adventure. It could be an Obsession with finding the treasure, and they would be willing to put the others in danger to get their hands on it. It could be Greed for more money, something that would force them to reach for gold coins on a weight-trap or sell out their allies for a quick buck. Whatever this flaw is, it is secret to all the other characters and will be secret to all the other players as well. I will okay your flaw via PM as to keep it hidden from the rest of the cast.

Everbrook: A Teenage Mystery RP

I'm doing okay. Doing a little concept work since I'm waiting on posts in my other RPs, trying to stay safe and such. How have you been?

WARNING WORK IN PROGRESS

A world of Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra roleplay.

Era:
Post Legend of Korra


Weeks after Avatar Korra and Asami left into the spirit world for a “vacation,” dark things have been happening across the four nations. The portal to the spirit realm has mysteriously closed, and villages across the nations are sending for help; spirits are attacking settlements, people have disappeared, and worse. Without the Avatar, the spiritual bridge between the worlds to assist, there seems to be little the nations can do to stem the tide.

Something dark is occurring in the spirit world, something that is blocking the Avatar from returning. A young waterbender from the Swamp Tribe travels to Republic City at the behest of his communities spiritually enlightened guides, seeking the answers to these questions. To fulfill his quest, he will need the help of others, and together a new group of young heroes will rise to bring balance to the world.

Avatar: TSW is meant to explore more of the world in the Avatar Universe using a premise of mystery and exploration. Instead of having characters support an avatar in their quest to master all four elements, The Spirit Wilds is meant to be an ensemble story with everyone sharing importance. To uncover what causing trouble in the spirit realm, the cast of characters will have to work together to seek out the spiritual epicenter of the four nations, help various communities in their search, and bring balance in a world that now lacks an Avatar before it is completely plunged into chaos.



If you are unfamiliar with the world of Avatar, here’s a quick rundown: it’s an American animated cartoon series focusing on a world that is a hodgepodge of various Asian cultures; Chinese, Tibetan, Japanese, Inuit and various other cultures all pulled together in a world of four elemental nations: The Fire Nation (who attack) The Water Tribe, The Earth Kingdom and the Air Nomads (who are mostly dead/revived with spiritual mambo jumbo). In the timeline, these four nations are living in a tenuous peace, having suffered a recent uprising and war with a splinter group of Earth Kingdom warriors (and having a new Earth King after their previous monarch was assassinated). It’s been a rough few years for the world with Avatar Korra struggling to be the Avatar. Anyways, the cast of characters hails from one of the four nations and may be a bender.



No, not that kind of bender. A bender uses martial arts and a connection with nature to control one of the four main elements. Earth Benders move rocks (and some can manipulate metal). Water benders control water. Air benders blow things. Fire benders make fire. Pretty simple. You may also be a non-bender, aka a regular person. Non-benders are just as important as benders in the world of Avatar (Looking at Sokka, Suki, Mai, Ty Lee, Asami, Varrick, and others).





Stuff goes here when I give a crap

Drew's testy place.

Oh look. A little page where I can actually throw crap together. Excellent. This is mainly for me to throw my ideas down and have them somewhere safe that I can go back and fix/review/make rps with them eventually. Or not.

Edgar was busy kneeling, battling with the mechanical device he had unstowed from his bag. "C'mon...c'mon..." he muttered, extending a piece out. Another piece loudly clicked, and finally, he hefted the machine up. He cranked a piece, loading multiple crossbow bolts into a chamber, and then dropping of his grenades into the firing chamber.

He aimed the device as best as he could, then pulled the crank back, sending a flurry of bolts into the mouth of the Malboro. The explosion erupted in the creature's mouth, and smoke billowed out, alongside something else: black crystals.

***

The Malboro was being hit hard on all sides. Artemisia's salvos broke more pieces of black crystals from the mouth, and the other shots pierced several of the tentacles, and Avaddon's strikes tore off one of the tentacles. Another thick tentacle moved to curl around Ianthe, aiming to wrap her up.

Blaike's fireballs burned into the flesh of the beast, and Mitra's slash cut into the thick flesh of the beast, following up with an explosion that tore more flesh off.

All of the attacks connecting caused the huge monster to reel backward, as it began making a loud, disgusting burble. Purple gas began billowing out from the mouth of the beast, as it was preparing to hit the group with a huge attack. It suddenly belched, and a huge, noxious gas poured out, aiming to engulf the entire party.

GM post will be done tomorrow, prepare your butts for blasting.

That sounded gross.
