Exposed - Superhero RP

Sounds pretty good ;).

Land of Confusion [Creating an Apocalypse in a Dystopian future]

Personally I think it would be even more interesting (idea is good, so props for it) if there were two group of players. Those who want to create rebellion and free the world and those who actually are part of those big bad corporations (for example Hasbro idea with deranged brony controlling pony mecha is so hilarious and dumb at the same time :D). It would allow to show world in more detail from both sides. At least this is my opinion on this.

And I assume that countries don't exactly exist anymore and all lands are part of corporations ? Also when you mentioned aliens - is it just limited to earth or actually some action could happen on let's say Mars or Moon ?

Dragon Ball Z: The Summoned Sagas

*Cries a little when he sees the Rp is full.*

Curse this labtop...any chance you can keep me updated on when a spot might open up?

@Chev

Well to be honest with my character being in reserve (and I agreed to it) if someone decides to drop out, I don't think it will happen too soon. But well, I'm not GM here :D.

Locked in a Room

Everyone is accepted so far! The story is shaping up perfectly too. I think we could wait until a handful of more applications or we could start soon. Whatever you all prefer.

@Macro

In my opinion the more the merrier. I think it would be just interesting to see as many clashing personalities as possible, but if I'm outvoted and we will in fact start with the characters already in, I won't complain.

Locked in a Room

Sended mine. No, she's not claustrophobic :D.

Jekaterina Ankudinov

Name: Jekaterina Ankudinov

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: Jekaterina is a silent, clearly depressed and resigned person. Jekaterina also likes to describe herself as uneasy, anxious, lonely, unwanted and isolated. She desperately seeks contact, but is terrified of potential rejections or bullying and rather prefer to avoid any human contact even if it hurts her in the long run. Taking into account that she has diagnosed PTSD, Avoidant Personality Disorder, Anorexia and Diogenes Syndrome combined with Bipolar second personality with Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Bulimia and Pyromaniac tendencies. Yeah, she's a mental mess. Thankfully second personality rarely if ever awakens and it only happens in extreme distress or straight up danger.

Strengths: Decent boxing ? The only hobby she ever had (or rather something her father pushed onto her). She has pretty good straight and hook punches (mostly she's counter puncher, so she relies on her opponents movement, before she hits back). That's it. She also learned how to speed read manually so she can learn something between constant abuse as fast as possible. Also she had decent talent towards languages (she learned english and polish just by listening recordings and reading books, which may be consider abnormal) and discovered 'talent' towards stealing once she reached the age of 18.

Flaws: Woohoo, where to begin. Most explained under Personality section. Add to this weak body.

History: If there was ever truly dysfunctional family, it was a family from which Jekaterina Ankudinov come from. Father police officer and amateur boxer which hided his dark disgusting secrets, which included truly aggresive behavior, alcoholism, constant verbal abuse towards his family and sexual deviancy, which unfortunately included sex violence towards his daughter, Jekaterina. Mother on the other hand was extreme drug addict combined with alcoholism, nymphomania and servant complex and complete loyalty towards her abusive husband. Constant rape, physical violence and verbal abuse practically made poor Jekaterina mental mess.

Most of her time she spended locked in her house unless she needed to move into school (a crapload of make-up was neccesary to cover her bruises). Her shy and timid personality didn't help in school as well - bullied, ridiculed and constantly called disgusting also made her obsessive over her weight and look, which started to deteriorate. She was forcefully fed just enough to survive by her parents. Plus she was manipulated and believed that her situation was 'normal', so she hided her problems or just ignored them. The only thing which she somewhat enjoyed was... boxing and reading. Her father personally when he was in good mood brought her books and trained her (or rather showed heavy hitting on her body, but it was shockingly effective way to learn, she actually had talent towards something !). Why he did it ? She had no idea. Maybe he felt merciful ? Maybe actually he felt guilty ? Or he was just bored ? She never knew. Fun thing is that she never tried to even memorize the names of her parents or the place where she was born (she remembers that she is from Russia though). She felt it was... insignificant, just like her existance.

But deep down her mind something started to grow up. Something... dark, twisted and clearly annoyed. Once she reached 18 years old, she read some books about abuse like "A Child Called It" by Dace Pelzer or "Speak" by Laurie Halse Anderson which she stole from bookstore. Suddenly she felt like her mind melted and started to be dominated by something... vicious. She knew that her life was a mess, it was unfair and mostly that she lost control over herself. She felt like someone suddenly took control over her body and decided to deal with a problem. One part of her personality was terrified, but second one felt free and clearly... aroused ? Bloodthirsty ? Furious ? Yeah, those were good words to describe her state of mind. It was like she watched situation from 3rd person perspective, it was unreal. Her body controlled by... something waited till the night, managed to tie up her parents (it wasn't too hard, they were too drunk that they felt nothing) and decided to burn everything down. Also they lived in isolated part of the forest near the village the name she doesn't even remember, which made this even easier. Once the smell of fire started to spread, her second personality enjoyed the look of fear on her parents faces. First one felt heavy guilt inside, she couldn't comprehend how this could happen, but maybe it was a chance for some change ? Gain a chance to reach some normal sort of relationship ? No... she was nothing and she knew it. And this violence proved it farther. She clearly remember the words which deep down still haunt her (although second one enjoyed it immensly).

"Burn, burn you f*****ing piece of shits ! You threated me like trash, then you will die the death of trash ! I hope you will both rot in hell, I will just join you later !"

And this was it. She left the house, waited for neighbours to move near, while laughed seeing house being burned to crisp. Once she gained control over her body, she cried, cried and cried. Police took her in, they decided that she is mentally unstable and ended up in psychiatric hospital. Slowly and slowly they tried to help her and she felt some... changes. But most ironic fact was that some arsonist decided to put fire under it. Why it happened ? She had no idea, but found it truly ironic how she would die the same way as her parents. Yeah, some part of her enjoyed this though, that was one hell of a death ! Once flames started to spread over her body, she suddenly lost consciousness and landed up in a room full of strangers. This certainly is something she didn't expect !

If I need to add something or change, feel free to type it ;).

Locked in a Room

I'm so tempted to create claustrophobic character just to torture him in this setting, but I don't think is sounds original in first place. But my inner sadist would approve.

Anyway I will edit this post (or create new one) once I decide on concept I truly want to apply here. Plus it's a bump :D.

Create Your Own Magic User

Yo matey ;). At last I thought of something that I think should be interesting and somewhat original ;).

Miss Hudson

Name: Miss Hudson

Birthplace: DewFoot Valley

Government: Consensus direct democracy
Races: All Hobbit Races (Halfings, Gnomes, Yordles, etc.), Pacifist Humans
Religion: Hobbit Deities, Peace Deities
History: Dewfoot Valley is a minor isolated democracy country created by older hobbit races societies 200 years ago to gather small races (and some chosen humans) in one isolated place supported by natural barriers which make potential conquest coming from aggresors far harder then it should be in normal case.

Most ancestors of current residents come from main 6 fractions: LightFoot Halfings which traveled to the place and decided to stop their nomadic lifestyle and build homes in Dewfoot Valley, Svirneblin which decided to mix living underground and on surface to avoid as much as possible drow and underground orc societies while trying to keep their culture intact and learn surface cultures at the same time, Rock Gnomes which tried to find some sort of peaceful land in which they could cultivate their carefree lifestyle without being harrassed by other races which accuse them or their childish behavior and unpredictible movements and actions, Yordles which decided to take up residance with some similar reasons to Rock Gnomes but forced isolation from many slavers made them far more aggresive and unpredictible which made them 'poor quality' slaves as they rely on constant positive contact with other Hobbit races to keep their sanity intact, Deep Halfings which were invited by other Small Races to work for them as their main blacksmiths and Tallfellow Halfings to work in all kinds of jobs which are connected to forest environments. All other hobbit races also exist here, but they are a minority (but their opinions are still respected).

Dewfoot Valley inhabitants live mostly in small villages up to 1000 residents and gather together in 5 biggest of them once per three months to gather opinions and vote on every single important matter before possibly implementing them (but 'Big Five' gathering only apply to national laws which affect all races and aren't local) with 3-2 or 4-1 majority voting neccesary to apply them (abstaining is possible, in this case they aren't applied). All local-only laws are voted in direct democracy gatherings every single time when new law is presented as long as at least 100 residents gather in place for voting (otherwise voting is postponed on later date). Village leaders and his assistants are voted once per 3 years. Dewfoot Valley prefer to keep their relationships with his neighbours limited to just trading goods in few extremely well protected trading routes (which limits potential aggresive invasion to minimum) and they are the only ways to gain access to their country. Residents of Dewfoot Valley keep professional army under their wings (number is small, but they are extremely well trained), although once in a while conscription is organized (once per year for all adults) to keep people in fighting shape. Local environment mostly consist of farmlands and meadows (35%), Forests (25%), Lakes and Rivers (10%), Swamps (10%), Mountains (10%) and Desert (10%).

Age: 58

Gender: Female

Race: Human

Appearance:

Mistress Hudson is a person which prefer to wear truly simple and yet somewhat stylish and practical clothing. Most of time she carries simple red long sleeved jacket which cover her whole body except and red cone standard mage hat. The only jewelry she carries on herself are two simple gold earrings and the only make-up she carries is delicate eyeliner and light red lipstick. Her figure is truly slim, which proves that even in her older age she's in top form (health lifestyle do wonders :D).

Magic: Cantripologist

In other words Cantripologist mages are type of casters which mostly specialize in using extremely low level spells and they mostly work in support and distraction roles. Most offensive spells are mostly aimed towards knocking or distracting targets instead of hurting them. Many cantripologist mages are mostly users which want to be true masters of basics, truly understand most basic and primitive magic or are self-proclaimed pacifists or are just good natured people. They are also living proofs that even most simple spells may easily turn the side in the battles of mages.

Techniques: Spells casted by cantrilopogists are called cantrips (in D&D terms they are level-0 spells from all classes, the number is up for discussion) and they memorize them instead of learning or casting them straight up from the book like wizards.

Skills: Miss Hudson is extremely skilled housewive, capable of all kinds of house based works. Also as a traveler she knows how to camp in all kinds of environment and know most possible survival tricks. She's also shockingly skilled in self-defense hand-to-hand moves, which no one expects analyzing her appeareance. She resorts to violence only in most dangerous situations.

Equipment: Only simple house cleaning supplies, standard camping set and several books to read as entertainment (mostly for children, she adores them).

Personality: Miss Hudson is extremely kind, understanding and affectionate person. Some people may consider her slightly naive (but she isn't) because of her philosophy to always try to find positive traits in all people she meets and always give them a chance. As most cantripologists, she despise conflict (but will fight if needed and ESPECIALLY if someone hurts children, this is something she WON'T forgive) and pacifism is her favorite life philosophy. She pretty much never raise her smooth and gentle voice. Her movement is graceful and full of confidence, which for more observant opponents may betray her experience.

Favorite quotes:

"People tend to underestimate what you can do with a dozen Mage Hands." Dralek Tar, Half-Orc Cantripologist

"In skilled hands basic spells are most impressive of them all as pretty much no one expect them to be truly effective." Miss Hudson

"I started from the basics. And I never moved from them as they never dissapointed me." Corlan Goamin, LightFoot Halfing Cantripologist

History:

Miss Hudson since she remembers she loved every single second of her childhood. Her parents tired of being forced into things which they disliked they managed to escape (unfortunately ilnesses collected from slavery finished them off in the long run) from slavery once one of DewFoot Valley neighbours dealt with massive slave uprising. Most of them died, but some of them managed to escape including her family. Since that day she noticed how cruel and unforgiving the world may be for people, which had to deal with opressors controlling their lifes. After that she declared her life towards helping others, which couldn't defend themselves and were too weak for self-defense. Thankfully after her parents death kind family of Rock Gnomes decided to adopt her and show her the way of magic. It truly fascinated her how such force could exist and how unlimited it truly is. But her foster parents showed her the way of cantripologist - the most effective spells aren't those with massive power, but weaker once used in smart way. Basics, basics and again basics, it was all about them. And she understood and loved that philosophy all her life. In teenager years she became the head of her village orphanage and decided to travel around the world helping and adopting (or finding parents) for all orphaned kids, while also act as support mage for some chosen adventurer groups to collect funds as well. She continued that lifestyle for several years while she decided to retire at the age of 54. She never married, but she enjoyed some romances and she kind of needed to admit that she enjoyed that closure (also physical) although to keep her almost saint image (most people that know of Miss Hudson adore her) she keeps this part quiet. Unfortunately after retirement new dangers started to show around DewFoot Valley and some nasty opponents slowly start to work around the magic rune barriers, which may ruin the peace of DewFoot Valley. Her main concern right now is to find allies and fight those people off.

If I need to add something or change feel free to post it ;).

Weird Roleplay Ideas You're Afraid To Pitch?

I would love to see Phoenix Wright based RP, but the amount of work it would require to make it work probably would be staggering. But yeah, I can dream I guess ;).

EDIT: Anything League of Legends roleplay based would be something I could dig in as well :D. Medieval version of Power Rangers/Magical girl (Mechas made out of bricks/stone/wood ? :D) would be amusing to see as well.

Dragon Ball Z: The Summoned Sagas

@NacNak@Kejmur

@Weird Tales

The feels man, the feels. Epic feels scale overload :D.

By the way you could always go with 'sended at the same time' like in olympics when two guys end up on let's say 1st place they both gain gold medal. But yeah, kinda too late, that was amusing in the end even if I won't play in the end :D. Worth it :D.

Anyone up for a Professor Layton RP?

Props for original idea ;).

So yeah, why not. Phoenix Wright would be appreciated as well, lol.

And how many players you exactly want to recruit ? Two like in classic detective and his sidekick style ? Or actually more players would be fine ?
