Sanctuary - A videogame canon chars/OCs RP (Freeform,Smut,Story,Interest Check)

[Raistlin]

Hello everyone! Welcome to the adult RP called “Sanctuary”, a crazy world I thought about one year ago, where a bunch of videogame characters from a number of different franchises band together to fight evil. And talk. And do naughty stuff. Yeah.

======================== Introduction =====================

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

For countless eons, the universe had been a breeding ground of all walks and manners of life, fantastical forces, cosmic constants and more. It was the ultimate sandbox of some higher entity, or just a massive chaotic expanse with no true order. Whatever one could consider it, it was what it was, and everything had its own purpose, even down to the most seemingly insignificant thing. Races of all kinds appeared, from a rather endless assortment of worlds, each with their own motivations, cultures, languages and plans for themselves… and others. Some advanced to levels of either magic or technology, and some a mixture of both, to grant themselves the ability to explore their vast home of the universe. While others remained content upon their own unique, and personal rock, seeking other pursuits at length. Whatever the case was, it all ended when the “Doomwake” occurred.

Every world with life, every star that was home to an advanced race… they all felt the impact. Even those that were not yet a spacefaring species would know that something had happened of major proportions and was no longer ‘right’ ever since. The capability to travel through space by manipulating gravity or the fabric of space itself was rendered impossible, stranding untold millions (or potentially more) across the universe to slowly die upon their now useless and derelict ships or other means of cosmic travel. The individual worlds were once again as isolated as they had been before the first species to ever reach space did so. Yet if that wasn’t enough of a problem, as many cultures and empires that relied on trade or conquest began to wither and fade away, something else began to happen. Each world began to call it something different, as there was no method of true communication between planets anymore, but this “wave” of red energy began to circulate through the universe, capable of engulfing entire sections of galaxies in one passing, and leaving nothing but the desire to consume everything within the hearts of those on the worlds affected. This turned families and friends upon each other as if they were their most despised enemies, as even the most peaceful of beings were mentally shattered and driven insane with the need to kill all life they saw.

   However, a hope emerged, when an ancient set of gateways began to rise up out of the ground on a collection of worlds and provided a new, and mysterious means of travel from one place to another. These gateways would only respond to certain “chosen” individuals, but many races still were to never discover such a thing until they were visited by those of another world who had. Still, the strange red energy ‘tendrils’ circulated through the universe in an unpredictable path, but perhaps there would be a way to combat it? Would there be a chance that the newly connected worlds could devise a strategy to save themselves from self annihilation? What caused the Doomwake and this odd phenomenon of red magic? It has been five years since it all began, and no world truly feels safe, as if dealing with their own personal problems wasn’t bad enough, the threat of complete destruction loomed over their heads with a random possibility of choosing them as the next victim…

Campaign Idea: The main distinctive trait of “Sanctuary” is that each player controls their own OC for this story and also one or more videogame characters. Everyone participating in the campaign is both a player and a DM. The OC is the “main character” of each player, and the videogame canons take the roles of important NPCs. The NPCs that each player controls interact with a second player´s OC.

For example, two players have their own OCs called Jack and Samantha. The player that controls Jack decided before the campaign started that he also controls the NPCs Samus, Link and Noctis. Meanwhile, the player that owns Samantha chose to take over the roles of Lara Croft, Sophitia and Geralt. This means, in this case, that Samus, Link and Noctis will interact and be a part of Samantha´s home base, while Lara Croft, Sophitia and Geralt are a part of Jack´s base. The player that controls Jack will DM for Samantha and vice-versa.

There isn´t a system in place for “Sanctuary” yet, but this could change depending on what players want. For now dice rolls can happen to help decide some outcomes, but the main focus is on story and roleplaying your characters.



What I am looking for:
. Literate partners: I am not a native English speaker, but I always try my best to give my partner a good time. Grammar errors will occur, but I also always try to be descriptive, talking about the character´s emotions, clothes, assets and so on. I usually write two or more paragraphs per post, although some of them can be up to one full page or even more.
. Chat or Google Docs RP: Truth be told, I am not a big fan of posting on forums only. I prefer to reserve a day for roleplaying and talk live to my partners using some sort of chat (Skype, hangouts, etc) or Google Docs. The reason for me and a lot of people I know is that I can get really anxious waiting for replies haha and the game can be more productive and fun when everyone is together reading and posting for hours in a single day.
. Keep your mind on the RP: Things happen outside of the RP during a normal session, so it´s normal to take small breaks. That is understandable! But, please, try to stay focused on the RP while we are posting and building a story together. Don´t try to multitask while roleplaying and, if you have something going on at the day of the planned session, just say something and we can set it up to another day
. Hyped partners: That one makes sense, I guess, but you should be hyped and looking forward to our roleplay sessions! We can discuss and brainstorm what can happen in the game, talk about the npcs, decide which npcs each one will control, what they like, what they don´t like and so on!
. Story and Smut RP: The idea is to create a fun, long lasting campaign and a place where you can have… close encounters… with different npcs. This doesn´t mean that the campaign is all about sex, for example. I love a good story, twists and so on and I believe that a good chemistry and well build characters are incredibly important to any story. I also prefer to follow the character’s personalities canon wise. For example, Zelda is supposed to be wise and intelligent, while Ahri is probably a seductress. The more you know each character, the better!



So you want to be a part of Sanctuary?

. If you want to be a part of the RP, you must know that you will both have an OC and you will also need to take control of several NPCs while DMing for your partner(s). In this campaign, you are both the player and the DM. The number of canon characters vary and will be discussed before the start of the RP, so you don´t take control of a lot of characters at once. Even if you do, you will probably not control a bunch of them at the same time to not make things confusing.

. Some exceptions can happen if you are interested in DMing only, controlling existing canon videogame characters but not controlling any OCs. The overall plot and story ideas will be discussed before the RP starts.

. I´d really like if you had free time to talk, set up ideas, scenes, talk about the characters, bases and so on before the RP started. Oh, and it would be great if you could play using google docs and chat using hangouts, skype or something similar. The forums can be used to play sometimes and to add character profiles as well.

. Male and female players are welcome and can roleplay as male or female characters.



Player Questionnaire: Please answer these questions if you would like to play and DM :) Questions are always welcome as well!

. Which videogame characters would you love to interact with your character? These are the characters that will interact with your original character. You won´t be playing as them. More than one player can have the same videogame canon as their favorite characters. In this case, the character can be shared between the players.

Me: Some examples are Tyrande (Warcraft), Ahri (League of Legends), Palutena (Kid Icarus), Zelda (The Legend of Zelda), Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite), Yuna (Final Fantasy X), Mercy (Overwatch).

. Do you have an extensive knowledge about videogame characters and worlds in general? It is not needed, but it can definitely help.

Me: Yep! I´ve been playing videogames for about twenty years and I´ve played most of the blockbusters of the last ten years or so… oh, I also played some pretty good indie games lately as well. I´m not an expert in any of them, but I have an idea about most of Warcraft characters, same as for Zelda and the land of Hyrule and many other worlds. Funny thing is, in spite of loving some characters from League of Legends I´ve never played the game, I´ve always been more of a Dota guy.

. Are you okay and have free time to play at least one day per week using Skype, Google Docs or something similar?

Me: Yes. For RP, my first choice is Google Docs. I can use hangouts or Skype for live chat as well.

. Are you more story focused or do you prefer a more adult/kink oriented RP?

Me: I love a good story, but I also love some adult oriented roleplay. I´d say I am 50/50. However, I always want the characters to have stories and personalities.

. Are you okay writing multi-paragraphs and being descriptive? Grammar errors are usually okay, even more so if English isn´t your native language

Me: Yep, I love to multi-para and can write at least 2 paragraphs most of the time. Descriptions are always welcome as always. I like to talk about the character’s clothes, emotions and anything from their cup size to their scent.

. Are there any kinks you really don´t like and would prefer to not be used with you? You can link your ONS and OFFS if you want

Me: I am pretty open minded when it comes to kinks. The only ones I really avoid are futanari and scat.



=============================== First post example ===========================

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

This is actually a post I used once I joined this RP community. Here it goes!
………………….
“Where am I…?”

The hyrulean opened her eyes slowly, only to notice that her vision was a blurry mess that couldn´t make sense of what was right in front of her eyes. The first thing she did was touch the ground nearby, looking for something to support her body and try to finally get up. The princess could feel the rough texture of rocks all under her torso and legs, as if she was sleeping on a bed made of gravel. Why was she there? The wind was blowing across her face, carrying sand and splattering it across her slender arms, with enough force to make the pointy ears bounce. The blue royal dress was dirty, and her pale white skin looked a little burnt by the sun.
Ugh. It was like she had taken some kind of sleeping pill and slept for hours, maybe days, and now every muscle on her body was aching. Maybe it was better to keep sleeping? No. She needed to find answers, and fast. The sky was red as if bathed by blood, a sign of things to come. The princess finally stood up with a grunt, taking a good look around. She could see mountains in the distance that looked like waves in the horizon and a huge desert that surrounded her. The place looked completely desolated with not a single soul in sight! The air was colored in brown and even small pieces of bones could be seen buried amongst the sand. Was this… the gerudo desert? No. She had a feeling that she was somewhere far, far away from home.

There was something, however, that quickly caught her attention. Two things, actually. The first appeared to be a temple, about one hundred meters ahead of her. It looked completely out of place, since the temple had a set of yellow stairs leading up ten or fifteen steps inside a closed room not much bigger than an average living room, the walls apparently immune to all the dirt nearby, showing a vibrant yellow color that looked like pure gold and a door about three meters tall adorned with metal rings instead of a traditional door handle. The building also had weird glyphs written across the walls and statues of creatures at the top, showing what looked like angels, demons, monsters and humans fighting against one another.



The second thing that made a difference in the background wasn´t a building, but a person. A woman. The first easily noticeable thing about her was the red hair flying behind her back, the same color as a precious ruby, her hair strings so long and well treated that they reached the end of her back and tickled her thighs. A tiara was used to keep some of her hair away from her face, the object made of metal and colored in yellow, the same color as the temple walls. She had a fierce look, accentuated by her dark eyes and the triangular shape of her face, as well as the slightly curved eyebrows. She also had thick pink lips and a muscular build that showed the true warrior in front of the slender princess. The woman was toned and athletic, something that she could notice since the “visitor” showed not only her bare abdomen, nut also her strong legs and arms. One of her arms was covered by the white top she was wearing, but the other one was completely bare, covered in some dirt and sand, but she didn't mind that much. Her arm wasn't thick, but muscular for someone with her stature, and Zelda could see why: she was holding some kind of sword in her hand, the blade long and heavy enough to be held by two hands, but she could do it easily with just one. It didn't look like a simple sword, either. There was something… different about it. Zelda could not exactly say what that was, but the blade did not look normal at all as it had some sort of energy emanating from it. Even so, the redhead woman wielded it without problems as she took a few steps towards the princess.

“I see that you are finally awake. My name is Nariko” she said, her voice mature enough to make her look like someone older than she actually was.

“I don´t know what happened” if Zelda was scared, she didn´t show it. She needed to be strong after all, as she raised her head and looked towards the redhead, her unprotected hand showing the triforce of wisdom that glowed with power. “How did I get here? Last thing I know is… Ganon. He was after me, but he wasn´t alone, there were others and…”

Yes. The memories came back fast. Death. Destruction. Houses burning. Ganondorf wasn´t alone, raiding villages and killing innocents with the help of someone or something that was so strong that even the Hero of Time could not stop him.



“I am sorry about what happened, princess. But they have not won. Not yet. You are alive.” Nariko took a deep breath and suddenly struck the sand with her sword, grabbing it by the hilt and kneeling down. She bowed her head, a sign of complete dedication to the princess. “There are others that are being taken to this place right as we speak. We must take care of them, and fight back not only Ganon, but whatever else is responsible for killing worlds all across the cosmos”

What? Zelda´s blue eyes looked at the redhead in surprise. The princess walked to her, her long, silk skirt being whipped by the violent winds. “You brought me here?”

“Yes. I am your guardian” Nariko stood up once again, grabbing her sword. “This place is called Sanctuary. Here, we learned how to travel across realms and stop the darkness. I am afraid it already took over Hyrule… but you are protected. And we can fight back and reclaim what is rightfully yours”.

Hyrule was doomed. The Darkness, Ganon… whatever was responsible for doing it, Zelda wouldn´t let them win. She stayed still for a moment, strong as ever, until she rested one hand on Nariko´s shoulder. “I need to learn more. Take me to the others… my friend”.
