The Idea Bank

I've got another idea for you, this one I tried recently in 1x1, but my partner disappeared. I might eventually try this one again, but I've filled my time with another RP. Excuse any spelling mistakes please, I had already discussed all the details to this RP with the person in another area, so the OOC was more for lip services, though the GM inside forced me to at least put some effort into it all.

Regardless, this is exactly what was on the OOC, so you should be able to just copy and paste it if you want to use it.

"A concerning number of reports of unusual little creatures running around has been growing recently in small rural areas. Local authorities say that investigations into these reports have revealed nothing and that they suspect a prank that may have started on the internet is to blame."

"An unusual new video has been making the rounds on the internet recently of a strange jelly like creature hanging off and following a young man around. The video comes from Dongguan, China and has many viewers scratching their heads, we've brought a special guest who has many years of experience with CGI and special effects and who claims that the video is fake. Find out who our guest is and why they think the video is fake this evening at 5."

"Disturbing news today as new security footage reveals what caused the death of four animal control professionals. The quality of the footage and the position of the camera makes it difficult to make out what happens exactly, but it appears that moments after animal control corner the creature that had broken into the supermarket late Thursday night, a cloudy residue can be seen leaving the creature and seconds later the four young victims fall to the ground motionless."

"Tonight we have Reverend Coal with us who believes he can shed some light on the growing number of attacks and appearances of these unusual creatures that have scientists world wide, absolutely baffled." - "Yes Thank you, we cannot rely on the word of science to reveal the mysteries of these creatures, because by their very nature they transcend science. We've been saying it for years and finally our proof, the fruits of our faith is before you. These creatures are demons and their appearance marks the beginning of the end times!" - "Let me interrupt you real quick Reverend, I'm sorry but doesn't that seem a bit far-fetched?" - "If I had told you a year ago, that a creature only knee high could kill three adult men and one adult women without even touching them, you'd have said that be far-fetched too would you not? What of the story of the young man in Russia, he was viciously attacked by one of these creatures and lost his left hand to it in one bite! You could expect that type of damage from a shark, but a knee high creature? The fact of the matter is, that these creatures are not related to any animals we know of and we have yet to come across any two of-of these demons that look exactly like one another. I tell you, these are not animals, these are demons!"

"Tonight we have another guest with us to speak about the demons and Reverend Coal's remarks last month on our show as well as the quickly growing international movement that has been gathering in response to the Reverend's recent television appearances and talk rallies. The world's leading expert on animal behavioural science with over 20 years of experience as a Zoologist, Professor Xen Ming." - "Thank you for having me on, to get straight to the point; Reverend Coal's remarks are absolutely detrimental to discovering what these creatures are. The Reverend's speech about the end times and demons has only served to worsen the situation with these creatures when we should be looking at ways to study them." - "And your view of the exponentially growing number of attacks?" - "Attacks? Even a cursory glance at the footage collected can show that these creatures were giving warning signs, they were defending themselves." - "So you call fifteen dead and over thirty injured people, world wide, defence?" - "Yes, when we demonize these creatures we paint a false dichotomy of it's either us or them. It is no surprise people are going to attack these creatures, likely in a hope that it will leave and wont come back." - "So what do you propose then Xen? We let them have free reign to our food? Let them waltz into our homes and do what ever they want?" - "No, of course not. But shouting monster and grabbing your pitch forks will only bring us more harm. How about we stop looking at these creatures as 'demons' and start looking at them as animals, how about we put aside our emotions and start looking for a solution that will help both us and these creatures progress forward."

Growth-Spurts of a DEMON

Welcome to G.S.D. a slow pace slice of life sandbox RP based around little creatures known as 'Demons'. The origin of these creatures changes from demon to demon, but depending on their individual aspects, abilities and appearances, they can often have fairly humble beginnings. Despite their name, they are often naturally extremely docile and gentle little creatures, they just happen to get scared pretty easily when they're alone. The ultimate goal of a demon is to find it's partner, usually a person who played some part in the demons birth. These little critters will search their entire lives until they find the one that resonates with them on a level that we humans can't seem to understand.

Now, it'd be wrong for me to say that all of the demons are completely gentle, as they have an unusual knack of tacking on some of the positive and negative traits of their creator and expressing them to slight extremes at times. That means if a demon owner has an anger problem, you might want to keep an eye on his pet. Now demons aren't just mere pets in uncommon forms, they all have a particular theme to them and they exemplify unusual and amazing feats related to their theme. For example, a rose themed demon can manipulate roses and help them grow faster, they can also produce their own special seeds of types of roses that don't even exist! There is even rumour of a canine themed demon that is able to communicate with dogs and help make them smarter, some versions of the rumour even suggests that prolonged time spent with this demon has changed the markings and colour of some of the dogs fur as well as made them bigger.

But owning a demon isn't all sunshine and lollipops, besides the fact that they take on some negative traits of the owner, they're also ostracised in many parts of the world and especially amongst specific religious congregations. Despite the positive progress in regards to the demons in many areas of the world, thanks to people like Professor Xen Ming, typically an unsupervised demon will be apprehended quite quickly and violently to prevent civil harm. Not to mention the rumours of demons belonging to greedy, angry people being used in illegal underground fighting competitions. Reverend Coal also remains quite a popular, vocal figure in regards to the creatures, it is his fault that they have come to be known as demons after all. However, there has still been progress made for demon rights as well as understand these creatures, in fact one bacteria based demon has helped produce all kinds of new revolutionary medicine, though they're still under trial and research.

Setting:

The sandbox of this RP is a little town that goes by the name of 'Glis', Glis is a medium size rural town who's main export is wood and agricultural goods. Glis was one of the first towns to start having demons around openly, as a few demons in particular owned by local labourers and agricultural works found that working with their demons produce more bountiful harvest more frequently. The local logging industry has also boomed due to enhanced tree growth. Glis is the first town in the world to enlist demons and their owners as both workers and even offer the owner of a demon an extra stipend with the condition it is used primarily for the care of the demon.

Regardless, there are still many in Glis who express anger or fear towards these creatures, but typical attitude as grown to accept the idea that demons will be seen out and about with their owners. If nothing less, some justify it as more of an acceptance to allowing them to work, since their large contribution has become an irrefutable fact.

The city of Wistoh is only an hour from Glis and is a rather large, bustling metropolis of commerce and culture. Most of the agricultural goods sold in Glis goes to Wistoh supermarkets and restaurants while a portion of Glis' timber goes to Wistoh's industrial zones. Demons aren't quite as accepted in Wistoh as they are in Glis and often people seen wondering around with demons are assumed to be 'country bumpkins' from Glis.

Locations

The following is a list of note-worthy locations in Glis.
Glis

• Ryuts College - A prestigious boarding school nearly on par with the most expensive schools in Wistoh. Many students from surrounding towns and cities attend this college. It is said that a very wealthy business man who owns much of the timber industry in Glis funds the school privately as an incentive to help Glis grow. The school offers undergraduate level degrees in certain fields for students who have graduated from year 12 there.
• Vull Caf - One of the three competing cafes of Glis, they serve as one of the rare tourist locations. Vull Caf takes an urban casual style to their appearance and menu.
• C-Net - Another of the three competing cafes, C-Net is an internet cafe with a heavy emphasis on convenience.
• Demon Cafe - A demon friendly business with a Coffea themed demon who helps produce exclusive organic coffee bean types grown by the store. Though it's pretty much consensus they have a lot of practice and trial and error ahead of them before their exclusive coffee beans become the dominant feature of their cafe.
• Parks - Glis has several large parks along the border of the town where large trees grow, the parks are designated as off limits to the local timber industry.

Other basic industries you'd find in a town exist also. The above are just the most note worthy features of Glis, it is worth mentioning that Glis has only one library and it's collection is relatively small. Glis also lacks anything resembling a shopping mall and only has one supermarket.

Key: [Exp. Negative/Positive Traits] - Means to what extent does the demon have negative trait and positive trait of the owner. For example, if your negative trait is that you have a bit of a temper, then type down how this is expressed through your demon in the Exp. Negative Traits: section, whether it be that the demon can get angry at others too easily and become stand-offish or maybe they have a violent fit at somewhat minor offences. Ect.
[Birth] - How did the demon originate? Often the case for plan based demons, they were planted and grew extremely quickly underground, over a period of a month or two. Animal themed demons could originate from deceased pets or pre-existing juvanile animals could become demons when fed/cared for by a person. This can also be the case for animals that hatch from eggs. If you cannot think of a method that you're happy with, merely write 'Unknown' and add a sentence or two about how the demon came to you.

Character Appearance; How do you do it?

I'm a description only sort of guy. Using a picture seems to defeat the purpose of descriptions. Its like saying "Yeh, sorry, I don't know how to use words so just imagine this celebrity instead."

@Vilageidiotx

I can understand your sentiment, I've seen quite a few character sheets where I personally have taken next to nothing from the picture provided and in my mind, it only seemed to make the character sheet as a whole look cooler and not much else.

Though I think pictures can be of more use in certain genres of RP and when used in a more specific sense with appearance, like when I used to GM a lot of slice of life I always split appearance in the character sheet to one field for physical description(Height, weight, skin tone, figure, ect. ect.) and one field for attire so that people could post images of articles of clothing if they wanted to.

But doing such a split for maybe an action oriented RP wouldn't really fit, as a single field for a description like the one @Mr Allen J provided would be much better.
