Another Pitch

Basically Supernatural with a different storyline than Jack the nephilim.

I've always been interested in doing a nephilim storyline. I was thinking of siblings that were produced by a lower-tier angel than Lucifer, like Balthazar for example. When they were young, the angel that fathered/mothered them somehow removed their grace or suppressed it with a spell. They grew up to be hunters when their mother was killed by demons, and are almost as equally talented as the Winchesters themselves.

I was thinking it would take place during a fight between the angels, and both sides are looking for nepilim to use against the other. There's no right or wrong side, but the angels have different beliefs in how they should work/who should lead them. God has disappeared with Amara, but there’s no lack of angels like in the series. Somehow the nephilim tracking spell has been unearthed, and all signs are leading towards the siblings we'd be playing. There is a way to regain their nephilim status, if they choose to or are forced to take that path.

It could be canonical with the Winchesters involved, or be a completely different storyline. Especially now that the final season of Supernatural is almost upon us. We could each play a sibling, and the NPC's would be the angels, monsters they face, demons, or even the Winchesters if you'd like to include them.

Heyo

I've been roleplaying since long before the fall of OldGuild and I'm hoping to find someone looking for a long-time, interesting 1x1. Below are a few rough pitches or ideas that I'm hoping someone will find interesting. I'm mainly looking for someone open to playing one or two main characters of either gender and other NPC's as we each develop the plot and settings of the RP. Hell, if you have any ideas similar to mine I'd love to hear them. I'm basically just craving something that can be just as dark as it is light. Hoping we could each post about once or twice a week with a minimum of two paragraphs per post normally. Slide into those PM's if you're interested.

Rising Tide

Rising Tide

50 years after a devastating world war, a resistance group known as the Rising Tide has been gaining support as the government tightens it's grip on the country. The line between insanely rich and utterly poor grows larger each day. Dissenters of the government are quickly silenced with aggression and sent to the colonies, where they work until they prove themselves worthy of the government's forgiveness or die in the radioactive wastelands. A month ago the Rising Tide successfully completed an attack on a military transport carrying important documents and a large supply of food. No civilians or members of the military were killed; a rule that the Rising Tide adheres to. The government is furiously searching for anyone involved with the resistance, calling them terrorists and other nasty words. So far, the government has found a few leads, but otherwise the Rising Tide is nothing but a whisper in the words of the people.

Twelve hours ago, another strike was made by the Rising Tide on a train transport carrying food and weapons towards the capital, Eden. Unfortunately, the train was well guarded. The group narrowly escaped with half of the supplies, but a few operatives were captured in the midst of it. One operative in particular was key to the success of the mission, but was captured in their efforts to help the group escape.

Synopsis

Despite the rough description of what the RP will be, the plot would basically be that we each play characters in the resistance and the government. My main character has recently been captured and will be submit to interrogation by an officer, one of your characters, intent on finding the Rising Tide’s base of actions. The government still doesn’t know how large the resistance is, and is currently preparing for a war against a neighboring country. It’s unknown if the neighboring country has been helping the Rising Tide or not. Guess you’ll have to find out.

Undeveloped Plot Ideas

- Avatar: Last Airbender and Legend of Korra based RP but set during the time in which Korra has just died, and our characters would be moderate level benders that find themselves in the midst of an equalist uprising. Other issues will arise as well.

- Space-Based RP involving a corrupt galactic government, slave-traders, and a group of travelers named Mauraders facing off against whatever the encounter.

- Rick and Morty type shit

- Darker Than Black based story, with contracters and dolls.

- Jessica Jones-ish with a Kilgrave that furiously moved cities and has found a new herione to obsess over

Let's not assume the worst. I'm hoping everyone has just been busy.

Heh, let me know if we need to slow down a bit. I'm just a little excited to get the story going. If anyone wants to run into each other or collab I'm down.

Eska watched with a worried eye as the old man sat before her. His anxious glance made her uncomfortable. Her own eyes darted around the room before settling back on the poor worried janitor. Who did he expect to be lurking in the shadows? What could possibly make this docile man so scared to speak? She gave him a soft smile, and she was happy to see him visibly relax just a bit more than before.

"Remember last week, when I was telling you about the great Shun-Li's unfortunate incident with one of the gym equipment? That was a good story. But after you left, I remembered how my young son loved to hear about Shun-Li's adventures. I don't know but... a huge grief overcame me. I... I needed release from my own mind."

Eska felt her heart ache inside for Wu. She couldn't imagine what it was like to lose a son. Wu's son should have been around her age, after all. She watched him pull his pentlandite beads from his pocket. It was something she only saw him do when he urgently needed to distract his mind from what was troubling him.

She listened intently as Wu explained his journey to the temple, nodding every now and then to let him know that she had heard every word. She was glad to hear that he was seeking solace in a place as peaceful as the Raava temple. She'd only visited a few times in her life. A few of those times had just been a field trip for school, but she had also gone a few times on her own personal venture. As Wu shamefully mentioned that he'd slept during meditation Eska couldn't help but knowingly smile. She'd always found it easier to fall asleep at night if she mediated beforehand. Whenever she felt truly at peace, she could sleep soundly.

What Wu told her next made her brows furrow once more. She felt him grab her hand and hold it tightly and she almost flinched at the touch. Instead, she gripped his hand just as tightly as he held hers in an attempt to comfort her elder and also herself. Her eyes focused on the beads of sweat forming on his forehead. In all of her time with Wu, she'd never seen him this scared. Deep down she could feel her own fear forming within her. It grew slowly as Wu described the creature. Her blood began to run as cold as ice. She'd never heard of a creature like the one Wu described, and was completely shocked to hear that the Grand Abbot was speaking with him.

The abbot seemed to be pleading with him. But the bull-man was angry. He was talking about some prophecy. And about the City Center bomb blast that happened last week. The man... the way he was talking... I think he knows who did it. And he seemed bent on doing it again. 'Bigger than ever' he kept saying. 'We have to use the prophecy to our advantage,' he was saying. But suddenly, he stopped and sniffed the air. He then said, 'Someone's here'. My heart was hammering in my chest. I stumbled backwards. I did not know what gave me strength. But I tumbled and ran like my pants were on fire! I didn't look back till I reached the bridge."

Eska pressed her lips together into a tight line, her eyes displaying her worries for the man as easily as her body displayed that she was confused. Wu seemed to display the same signs, except he also looked utterly terrified for his life. Her hand was going numb within his, but she held his tighter as she realized that the man needed far more comfort than she did. He was trembling in fear, and that made Eska suddenly feel very protective of the old janitor.

"Since then, I have been living in fear, Eska. I am too afraid to go back to the temple. And I don't know if going to the police will be the right decision. I may be an old man waiting to die, but I certainly don't want to be dismembered or tortured by some maniac. You... you are a smart woman, Eska. What do you think I should do? Will the cops even believe me if I told them a bull-faced man was planning a terrorist attack with the Grand Abbot of the Temple? Even when I hear myself say it, it sounds ridiculous. Like an old man's overactive imagination or something."

As Wu finished speaking, Eska took a few moments to breathe and think over what he'd just revealed to her. It was a crazy notion that the Grand Abbot could have something to do with the bombing of republic city, nonetheless plan a second more intense attack as well. Wu's worries were as sane as could be, and she ran each option and it's potential outcomes through her head before she came to a conclusion that didn't seem as delusional as the others.

Slowly, Eska took a deep breath to calm her racing heart. She looked up at the old man before her. Their hands were still locked together. "Wu, I... I can't believe what you must be feeling right now. I'm so sorry that you had to go through that alone." She gave him a sad smile, wishing deep down that she'd been with him to uncover such a terrible secret. She also wished that she had been there to protect him. "I'm not sure what you should do, Wu... I've never been in a situation like that, and I'm not sure if the police are to be trusted."

With that said, Eska looked him in the eyes, her determination to protect him shining through the fear that was settling within her. "You are not going crazy, Wu. You are just as sharp as you were when I met you. Please, for your own safety, keep this between us. Just keep your head down, come to work, but let me know if you see anything or anyone odd or suspicious."

"I don't know what I'm going to do, Wu, but I promise you I won't let any harm come your way if I can help it. Any accusations towards the Grand Abbot will surely turn their attention towards you, but for now they don't know who you are. Keep it that way, okay? For the both of us."

Eska stared at him, hiding any notion that she wanted to confirm his suspicions on her own. She didn't want him to worry for her own life as well. In fact, she had an urge to visit the temple as soon as possible, or at least to do some digging on her own at a safe distance.

"The moon is brightest at night. And so are you," Wu said with a chuckle afterwards.

Eska's cheeks turned a light shade of pink, shaking her head at the old man's musings. She never took his flirts in a literal way. After all, she was the same age as his granddaughter.

"And don't you get me in trouble again, young lady," he continued, and Eska looked to see that he was waving his finger at her. "Last time I told you probending stories, the boss man wanted to fire me for wasting your time. Hmph!"

Eska laughed softly. "This place would be a pig sty without you, Wu," she mused. "I promise not to get you in trouble again." She watched as the old man mopped the floor, sensing a change in his demeanor. Something was bothering him, but it seemed like a different problem than the usual old memories giving him heartache.

"But... I do have something to tell. Eska, I don't know why I want to tell it to you. But... it will help me if you listen." Wu said, as if he was reluctant to share what was on his mind. He motioned towards the chairs by the windows. "Perhaps we could sit down and chat?"

Eska furrowed her brows lightly, nodding in concern. She moved towards the chairs, bringing her water bottle with her. "I'm off the clock anyways," she said with a small smile as she hoped to lighten the situation. She took a seat in one of the chairs, crossing one leg over the other. "What's wrong, Wu?"

Thirty minutes passed as Eska rested, bathing in the moonlight that illuminated the room. She liked training under it's natural glow. She always felt a better connection to water at night. It was common knowledge that the moonlight made water benders stronger.

As soon as she felt fully recharged, she stood and got back to it. She'd just begun her second set of training when an audible cough filled the room. She looked in the mirror to see Old Man Wu stepping into the room, his broom in tow like always.

"Isn't it way too late to work up a sweat?"

Eska smiled, slowly lowering the orb of water as she turned to face him. She held the water at her side, her hand hovering above it as she rested the other hand on her hip. "I always train better at night," she responded, her voice revealing her fondness of the old man. He was a kind soul, and a hard worker. He'd been the only constant in the gym during the few years that she'd worked there, aside from it's owner. While he was an A+ janitor he also carried a certain aura of knowledge about him. Not only did Wu have a knack for probending trivia, he also had a perfect memory of the history of Republic City. Most of her coworkers thought he was a wacky old kook. Eska was one of the few that loved to listen to his stories.

"How is your night going? Any new probending stories to tell me?" She asked, waving her hand to deposit the water into a bucket nearby. Her tone was almost eager, but never liked to force stories out of him. The best ones always came when she least expected it. She remembered one day she was about to train another class of younglings, but was ten minutes late because Wu spiraled off on a tale about the best fight ever recorded at the probending arena. She'd been scolded for listening to the man's rants and raves about probending, but Wu had been the most animated she'd ever seen him that day. It was amazing how such a quiet man could act that way when he talked about his passion.

Got one for you, too. I believe Old man Wu has an interesting tale to tell. One that could potentially lead directly to your gruesome demise. But then again, who dares wins, right? ;)
