IMPORTANT: ALL OCs and ORIGINAL PLOT..with possible references to canon timeline events. I have been on a darker and gritter anime binge of late hence the possible ideas below
Rules
1. Four-Six Players only. Highly recommending multiple roles to fulfill larger cast sizes
2. Heed the 18+ warning...it won't be sunshine and roses all the time. Given the varied source material..it shouldn't be.
3. Three-Four Paragraphs per post expected. Give your fellows something to imagine.
4. Have Fun. Be Active. Keep in touch if something comes up and you will need to take a break, I understand.
Right. Onto the meat of the thread; a few select inspirations I would love to take for a spin.
Don't let the ancient statue of the Buddha fool you as you enter this busy city..it's far from holy. A few select visitors could easily turn it into Hell on Earth over a simple disagreement. So if and when you hear the sound of gunfire, don't play the dumbass hero and don't call the damn cops..Corrupt pigs won't do anything. The local gangs run the tiny street corners and the low-class whores..it's the Mafia, Triad and various other criminal organizations that are the real 'law' and 'order' in this shithole. Chances are every single establishment in the city is a mere front for them to launder money, pass off goods and or just rub their power in each others faces. Rumor has it at the Yellow Flag bar, a secret pool has been around to see which group devours each other first like ravenous cuddlefish. My, suggestion to you friend; is keep your head down and your ass even lower less you want it kicked in some dirty alley for the few bucks in your wallet. Only those with a death wish attempt to stay the night here, much less carve out a living. Pirates, mercenaries, strays and people looking to disappear all have their own past..and keep it close to their chest. Me? I am just an Observer..Thanks for the wallet by the way..nice leather quality..
*Almost any sort of Role could fit into this storyline. As it could go anywhere, I highly recommend your average gangster, pirate etc and other scum of the earth roles. Feel free to design your own criminal organization to fill with NPCs etc.*
Ergastulum. Corrupt. Overcrowded. Crime-riddled. Home. These are a few words that could describe this city, hardly any of the population participate much less see the light of civil society. No, it's better money and chance of surviving the day in the seedy underbelly of the streets. A tricky balance of power to maintained by Three Families and the police, who are on their payroll. Guns, blood and money keep the corrupt heartbeat of the city pumping on a daily basis. You can find all types here just trying to keep food on the table or are just itching for a fight. The most notorious being Twilights, superhuman freaks waiting to snap or so the rumors go, if you hear the jingling of Tags. Head in the opposite direction and lay low..just keep an ear out for new info. Something is about to change in the city..it just doesn't know it yet.
*Similar to the Black Lagoon idea. Possibly a more condensed playing field in terms of cast as it will be more so character driven*
What's the price of Soul going for these days?
Victorian England dubbed so after the gracious Queen Victoria led it into an age of prosperity..supported by the dark and violent world of the London Underworld. Rumor has it each pound and pence spent by any citizen has had to washed at least once to get the grit of blood off the metal work. Still you can taste the copper tang of blood if you bite into a coin to check it's legitimacy, just try it out once. The Underworld is in shambles at the moment after the sudden deaths of notable 'Evil' Noblemen and their heirs..like some merciless god -Queen- decided to reset the pieces of chess..with entirely new rules in mind. These new individuals come from various backgrounds and goals in mind..with single trait in common..their company is rarely seen without a strange new companion. Only time will tell if the Queen decides to reset the board again or if these pawns will do the job for her in an effort to reach their goals.
*Just a very basic plot as I expect this one to character-driven as well. The twist being each Human has just very recently assumed their role as a 'Guard' dog trying to put the Underworld back into organized chaos..with assistance of Demon on their side. The Humans can be complete strangers on one another or know each other intimately. Just keep in mind..dark magic, demons and anything supernatural IS NOT normal..so put on a happy face and pretend your Soul isn't being battered and seasoned into a perfect meal..*
Ghouls and Humans, predator and prey. Hunter or Hunted
The city of Tokyo is one of most populated locations in the world. You can find just about anything here, legal or not..you just need to know the right people. Although, in some Wards its better to not stick around after dark least you find something much more dangerous stalking your footsteps. Ghouls, monsters in the guise of humans with a craving for human flesh..or something deeper than that. Chances are you could have one on the street just now..without even noticing. Scary isn't it? Don't worry, experts say that being attacked by a Ghoul is rare in crowded streets, so don't take any shortcuts now. Or are you one of Them, the rumored predators that wear the mask of humanity...a bunch of lies isn't it? Do humans really have You figured out? Time will tell..or you next meal could be the only answered needed.
**This would be my last choice to RP with, but if people are interested I would be willing to compromise. This will be a mixture of actual plot and character development. NO ONE-EYED GHOULS. Plot to come**.
Roleplay Votes -What do people want to play? * <-- my personal interest-
1. Black Lagoon ***
2. Gangsta **
3. Black Butler **
4. Tokyo Ghoul *
