Author Topic: Need an RP (Read 3115 times)

Lord Bane · « **on:** April 04, 2017, 06:36:56 PM »

Okay, doing this a bit differently this time. My last remaining active RP is now dead as the other person in it just quit the site. Combine this with the fact I'm having no luck with even starting an RP most of the time and I've decided I need to just put feelers out (for want of a better phrase) and start with who's interested because I've had enough of pitching ideas which don't go anywhere.

My ideas tend to be sci-fi or fantasy, if that helps narrow it down for anyone at all lol

StrangeVsWeird · « **Reply #1 on:** July 02, 2017, 06:11:47 PM »

Well, I certainly realize this is a VERY old post, but hi! I'm new so...ha. I'm Strange and am just browsing this forum site, kinda getting a feel for things and just saw that no one responded to your request! Have you noticed if the Non Adult section is fairly inactive? I'm just curious lol

Anyway, I enjoy writing fantasy too! What kind of fantasy are you into? Modern supernatural stuff like vamps and werewolves and whatnot or medieval type such as witches/wizards and dragons? :)

Anyway, I'm just kinda running around saying 'hi' to random people. Seeing if I get responses lol

Lord Bane · « **Reply #2 on:** July 02, 2017, 06:28:13 PM »

I have one I keep trying to (unsuccessfully) get started called Wrath of the Dragonkin...which is very Tolkein, but there are lots of dragons...and they're seriously pissed lol

StrangeVsWeird · « **Reply #3 on:** July 02, 2017, 06:43:13 PM »

Well...

I'm interested in the sense that I don't think I've ever written dragonkin before, so that'll definitely be a challenge and I'm always up for challenges! Something I'll probably have to Google, even though dragons are my favorite! Odd, I know.

Do you have a general plot line for it? Also, are these dragonkin more humanoid or more reptilian? Do they morph? Like human, but can turn into dragons? Lol. I tend to get detailed in things I write

Lord Bane · « **Reply #4 on:** July 02, 2017, 07:08:50 PM »

well, it's mainly dragons, although there are other relatives of theirs hanging around (also, the dragons are capable of making themselves appear human...which is a good thing considering they fact they're almost without exception friggin' massive

Levi · « **Reply #5 on:** July 06, 2017, 12:39:34 PM »

I would be interested to I love Tolkien

Lord Bane · « **Reply #6 on:** July 06, 2017, 01:24:32 PM »

I was gonna say it's not that much like Tolkein...then I realised anything with humans, orks and elves is inevitably gonna be compared to LOTR

Levi · « **Reply #7 on:** July 06, 2017, 01:27:41 PM »

Or slightly GOT only the dragons though :)

Lord Bane · « **Reply #8 on:** July 06, 2017, 02:56:48 PM »

These have magical powers though, and definitely don't do the whole "Serving other people" thing

Levi · « **Reply #9 on:** July 06, 2017, 03:14:43 PM »

Dragons should be free anways, would the magic be elemental or just wild?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #10 on:** July 06, 2017, 05:14:11 PM »

all sorts, like they can take human forms (for when people might be intimated by 30 foot dragons that breathe fire lol)

Levi · « **Reply #11 on:** July 07, 2017, 02:04:41 AM »

Ohh, interesting. So while they are not tame dragons they certainly seem 'friendly' it would be interesting to try it as a dragon but out of curiosity are the local population just human? Or is there magic available?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #12 on:** July 07, 2017, 03:22:21 AM »

oh, I wouldn't say the dragons are necessarily friendly

there is magic around, it's not like Harry Potter where every man and his dog can theoretically have magic though lol

Levi · « **Reply #13 on:** July 07, 2017, 03:41:24 AM »

Haha OK.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #14 on:** July 07, 2017, 04:00:59 AM »

do you want to see the story pitch, so to speak? might make more sense that way lol

Levi · « **Reply #15 on:** July 07, 2017, 04:08:03 AM »

Absolutely, although I will warn you I'm very new so I may have loads of questions

Lord Bane · « **Reply #16 on:** July 07, 2017, 04:47:50 AM »

The world is wild and barely controlled. Ouside of a handful of large settlements humanity live in small pockets of civilization. One of the settlements is the fortress city of Tarnegar, but although it appears safe from outside threat the real danger of the city lies within.

It is ruled by a tyrant, King Myraz, who has ruled for longer than any of his subjects have lived. His unnatural lifespan stems from a dragonkin artefact, stolen a century and a half before from the king of Dragonblight himself, Stormrider. With the power the king wields it seems none can oppose him.

There are a handful intent on stopping Myraz however. Your father believes, if Stormrider could be contacted, that he may aid you in retrieving the artefact and defeating Myraz once and for all. The journey is treacherous but Myraz's men are preparing to move against your father.

The greatest adventure of your life lies ahead, but with miles of hostile country between you and Dragonblight can you live long enough to seek the aid of a race that hates humans?

Levi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 07, 2017, 04:56:32 AM »

Looks interesting, so the central character is going to try and approach the dragons I think I would lean towards being a character that the main character takes with them or perhaps someone they meet along the way? How would you like to play it?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #18 on:** July 07, 2017, 05:52:20 AM »

I don't mind, you could see me as the Game Master so I get to play all the NPCs you meet along the way...and there are quite a few lol

Levi · « **Reply #19 on:** July 07, 2017, 06:05:50 AM »

Sorry what's an NPC?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #20 on:** July 07, 2017, 06:20:15 AM »

as in characters not played directly by other RPers (Stormrider would be an example because there are huge spoilers around him I'd rather you discover for yourself)

Levi · « **Reply #21 on:** July 07, 2017, 06:27:45 AM »

Ah, that makes sense, thanks. Shall we try a dummy run than and see how it goes?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #22 on:** July 07, 2017, 06:50:51 AM »

do you want to do a character biography first?

Levi · « **Reply #23 on:** July 07, 2017, 07:09:50 AM »

That might be a good idea, then I'll might know what I'm doing *no promises* will you help?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #24 on:** July 07, 2017, 07:56:58 AM »

of course :) no-one knows everything, even if they try telling you otherwise lol

Levi · « **Reply #28 on:** July 07, 2017, 11:19:28 AM »

OK wow I just stumbled across some other people doing biogs and wow there's is so much more detailed, I'll send what I've got so far, would you mind looking at it?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #29 on:** July 07, 2017, 03:30:18 PM »

sure :) I'll try and give my best advice

Levi · « **Reply #30 on:** July 08, 2017, 04:08:31 AM »

Lord Bane · « **Reply #31 on:** July 08, 2017, 04:47:30 AM »

no worries, I'll be dipping in and out most of the day so I'll take a look when I get the chance :)

ah, that's good :)

TsukiyomiMoonscar · « **Reply #34 on:** July 09, 2017, 07:26:13 AM »

Oeh oeh sounds very interesting. Dragon's within the human settlements. Sounds like Metallic dragons applying the polimorph spell. Can I join as well? Seeing how Tolkien is my favorite writer and well having years of playing D&D 3.5 helping me I would like to see wgat you can bring to life!

Lord Bane · « **Reply #35 on:** July 09, 2017, 07:33:18 AM »

now I feel like the pressure is on me to get it right

TsukiyomiMoonscar · « **Reply #36 on:** July 09, 2017, 07:36:52 AM »

My apologies for that >< I'm merely enthousiastic! You're idea sounds great, afterall we all know that no matter the alignment of dragons they are nasty critters that won't think twice to bite you're head off. Which makes it all the more fun!

Lord Bane · « **Reply #37 on:** July 09, 2017, 08:39:02 AM »

Oh, there are plenty of scary critters, there's no outright "good" creatures in this story, just ones slightly nicer than the others

Lord Bane · « **Reply #38 on:** July 10, 2017, 06:15:19 AM »

me and Levi are going to begin the story so anyone else who's interested feel free to post in here (or PM me) and we'll let you join :)

King Kull · « **Reply #39 on:** July 13, 2017, 10:38:18 AM »

I'm interested as well, what kind of characters do you want? Humans only or other races? I guess they will be pretty skilled already to go and find these dragons?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #40 on:** July 13, 2017, 10:57:40 AM »

Not necessarily, there's an element of "Oh crap, we're running out of options" to this quest lol

King Kull · « **Reply #41 on:** July 13, 2017, 11:11:05 AM »

So could I do any type of character? What characters are you two now?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #42 on:** July 13, 2017, 11:15:56 AM »

she's a young woman with fairly basic combat skills...I'm essentially any character the scene needs (basically think the GM in a game of Dungeons and Dragons. Not as easy as it sounds lol)

King Kull · « **Reply #43 on:** July 13, 2017, 12:10:37 PM »

Yes it's the type of RPGs I'm used to. So she is the only player now? You have any requests for characters, maybe I should be warrior type then if she is not?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #44 on:** July 13, 2017, 12:13:42 PM »

I'm open to anything, they're gonna need all the help they can get (and that's BEFORE they get to the dragons lol)

Levi · « **Reply #45 on:** July 13, 2017, 12:42:49 PM »

I agree lol, my character is a bit clueless

Lord Bane · « **Reply #46 on:** July 13, 2017, 12:45:59 PM »

if you don't mind waiting a bit they're going to reach a tavern soon which might be a more logical place to meet new adventurers than in a near-impassable forest

King Kull · « **Reply #47 on:** July 13, 2017, 02:44:11 PM »

You want me to make a character sheet?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #48 on:** July 13, 2017, 02:47:58 PM »

that'd be good :)

King Kull · « **Reply #49 on:** July 14, 2017, 07:18:28 AM »

This is my Character, didn't really decide his personality and morals etcetera yet. So he is a pretty powerful fighter type but he has no magic or supernatural abilities/objects. Maybe you can suggest from where he is? Some forested mountainous area?

Name: Grim Direwolf (Direwolf is the name of his clan; the Direwolf Clan)
Race: Human
“Class”: Barbarian ranger/warrior.
Age: 24
Height: 195 cm
Weight: 130 kg
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Raven black, wavy and thick. His hair is long and unruly going down just past his shoulders. He has a leather headband to keep his hair away from his face. He is clean shaven.

General appearance: Grim has massive muscles and wide shoulders and chest. He is tanned from the sun but naturally quite pale. His nose is not completely straight from being broken once and he has a scar on his right cheek. He wears leather and fur, but no armour. On his left forearm he has a leather bracer to protect it from the bowstring of his powerful bow. If it is not to cold he prefers to have a bare upper body.
Notable Possessions: Grim’s most valued and valuable possession is his hand-and-a-half sword. It is of good quality but neither exceptional nor magical. It has a four feet wide blade and a tampered point making it suitable for both cuts and thrusts. The hilt is another feet so it can be handled with two hands. The sword is more costly than all his other possessions together. Besides the sword he has a powerful compound bow in a quiver on his back and a quiver with arrows. In his belt he carries the sword and a large hunting knife. He looks somewhat like a warrior but completely without armour and without a shield, so maybe he is more a heavy armed ranger. He has a scent hound for hunting. It’s not an aggressive dog and it’s a bit old now. He loves his dog deeply. It looks like a Harrier dog.

Skills: He’s a swordsman and an archer. He grew up in the wilderness so the forest and the mountains are his homes. He knows about plants, animals and survival in the wild. He didn’t see the wild plains or the farmlands so those environments are not part of his expertise. He’s a tracker and a hunter and he knows how to train hounds. His fighting style is that he uses his sword both for cutting, thrusting and parrying; much like a fencer. His strength enables him to that with his heavy sword. He also switches between using one or two hands and some times he can make a blow with only his left hand even do he is right-handed. So even his wapon is big he has a technical style of fighting.

Lack of skill: Even thou he is agile and an experienced hunter his size and weight works against him when it comes to stealth. He leaves tracks just from his large feet and weight, when sneaking there is always a risk that he not only breaks a twig but an entire three branch. And when trying to hide; well he needs something big to hide behind! He has no schooling what so ever. He doesn’t know about how life in cities or even on farms work. His social etiquette is somewhat different from civilized communities.

King Kull · « **Reply #50 on:** July 14, 2017, 07:20:48 AM »

I have a suggestion if you want more players; make a new request thread with the name of your campaign in the title a description. This thread is old and vague, people might not read it to the end.

That sounds really good :) tbh, anywhere north of the forest they're in now lies not far from Orc infested territory so he could be a local woodsman who lives by himself (other than the occasional visit to the town we're heading for) who's a veteran of Orc raiding parties/the dodgier denizens of the forest. If that makes sense?

As for the multiplayer point (can't be bothered to do this as a separate post lol), I think three is probably actually a good number, while more players would be fun as I've discovered from past experiences the more players you have the more you run the risk of people being held up by someone going AWOL (especially if the person who does so needs to post something to move the plot along)

King Kull · « **Reply #52 on:** July 14, 2017, 08:41:27 AM »

Yes to many players are not good either, when we do desktop RP we like 3-4 players and 1 GM. To many players also gets confusing. I see him more as belonging to a wild barbaric tribe not as an isolated individual and loner. But he can be there for any reason; seeking adventure. He would be opportunist, some times a tracker, some times a mercenary (And sometimes a bandit?). He has also been a pit-fighter, a primitive form of gladiator fights. That's where he learned to fight technically without armour. I will make a bit of a background.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #53 on:** July 14, 2017, 08:56:39 AM »

sounds good :) admittedly this is definitely a world where (other than where Ebony comes from) there's not much of what you'd describe as "civilization", especially north of the forest where Orcs, Trolls...and worse...can roam around pretty freely so it's believable there might be mercenaries running around (lots of farmers wanting protection after all)

King Kull · « **Reply #54 on:** July 14, 2017, 09:31:29 AM »

To Grim any city is civilization even large villages.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #55 on:** July 14, 2017, 09:45:49 AM »

Well, then there's the town they're riding for and...well, not much else other than the occasional farm, he'd probably quite enjoy the landscape lol

King Kull · « **Reply #56 on:** July 14, 2017, 10:01:24 AM »

How does this background fit your world?

Grim belongs to the primitive and wild barbarian tribe the Hercynians. They are war-like and constantly at war with Orcs or raiding human settlements. Their different clans fight each other as well. They are generally considered to be on the “good” side; they would never ally themselves with Orcs and such creatures. But still people fear them because they do raid humans as well. They like elves even thou they are very different from them. It is because they share the elves veneration for nature. The Hercynians respect nature and animals and never cut down more threes than necessary and they hunt for food never for sport. Actually they respect nature more than humans. The Hercynians technology is not so developed; they do make axes, knifes and spear points from steel but can not make long swords like the one Grim have. And they can’t make steel armour. Grim has sold his services as a scout or as a warrior and he has been a pit-fighter, a primitive form of gladiator fights. That's where he learned to fight technically without armour, since that is the rules in those fights.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #57 on:** July 14, 2017, 11:39:58 AM »

the only thing I'd say is (although this doesn't necessarily have to affect the background) that in this world most of the elves (outside of the Rangers in the forest anyway) went south some time ago, for quite some time to elves and dragons fled the human world and have basically ignored what's happening. The king would probably be in a lot more trouble if either the elves came north, the dragons came south or even both.

King Kull · « **Reply #58 on:** July 14, 2017, 12:49:37 PM »

They might have old tribal memories from when there where more elfs so they still think the same of the few that are left.

Will you let me know when I can enter the RP?

Lord Bane · « **Reply #59 on:** July 14, 2017, 01:51:18 PM »

I'll have to check she's okay with the post but I got Ebony and Ariadne to the tavern so, if Levi is okay with it, you could jump in now (or wait till we've done a couple more posts, I'll let you know once I've heard back from her). I can imagine you'd be the one guy not put off by the mean looking elf, unlike the other patrons lol

King Kull · « **Reply #60 on:** July 14, 2017, 02:14:54 PM »

Mean looking? I thought they had some romance going? (I read your story but not very detailed). Well Grim isn't very easily intimidated and likes elves as a cultural heritage from his tribe. When I meet your characters describe them or direct me to where they are described.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #61 on:** July 14, 2017, 03:15:42 PM »

Let's just say she has a rep for not taking shit off people, so anyone who might try getting...cosy with Ebony otherwise is smart enough to not pick a fight with someone who could kick their ass without breaking into a sweat lol.

Will obviously depend on if Levi wants me to edit my post, he could always be by the bar when she walks over, that way there's a relatively natural way to run into each other, so to speak

King Kull · « **Reply #62 on:** July 14, 2017, 05:09:40 PM »

Well Grim doesn't know who you are or what you have been up to until you enters the Tavern. But he needs an adventure, possible reward, etc. of some sort to motivate him to hook up with you two.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #63 on:** July 14, 2017, 05:55:48 PM »

Gonna get Levi to post a character sheet in here, do you want to edit your last post or should one of me and her do a reply so Grim can "see" Ebony properly?

Levi · « **Reply #67 on:** July 15, 2017, 03:17:49 AM »

Born in Tarnegar, Ebony was raised from a young age by her father. Her mother passed away when Ebony was young leaving behind a bracelet covered in curious ruins. Up until her 18th birthday the young woman had led a fairly carefree life but was starting to feel that her father is a little overprotective. Ebony wants to start making decisions about her future but she still loves her father very much.

She is slightly taller then the average female at 5'9 and her long silver hair is tied in a plait over her left shoulder, Ebony is slightly curvaceous in figure. Her striking blue eyes flash whenever she is annoyed and she can not conceal her emotions very well. Her fair skin shows tan lines from where she has lain in the sun reading.

(Extra info) Ebony is now also wearing a two swords around her waist, one a gift made by her father Vennar, the other a mystical blade named The Dawnhammer. She is also wearing a red Dragonblood gem necklace. Ebony is also starting to have feeling for her beautiful companion.

( note from myself) Ebony doesn't really have much out of town real life experiences so I feel she may find Grim slightly intimidating on there first meeting

King Kull · « **Reply #68 on:** July 15, 2017, 05:28:57 AM »

Thanks Levi. Starting to have feelings?

Yes Grim is probably more intimidating than that wolf Ebony saw.

Levi is welcome to post first, unfortunately I'm off to volunteer for a four hours so my reply will be delayed a bit. Also, we should figure out a posting order, so we don't have anyone writing a reply only to discover while they were completing it someone made a new reply anyway lol

Hi, i'll rp with you. I have two or three ideas on my mind but, i'm not fully accepted yet.

One is about the origin of the Vampires and werewolves. Another is an anthroxhuman thread, where the anthro falls for his creators daughter. The third is where a human finds a young dragon from the Shadow tribe.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #93 on:** July 30, 2017, 06:32:42 PM »

I'd be interested in the third scenario, what were you thinking of exactly?

LiaraAmagi · « **Reply #94 on:** July 30, 2017, 09:49:15 PM »

Hmm, the shadow dragon one? I was thinking that the shadow dragon tribe could magically dominate and 'improve' someone's body. I was kind of thinking that maybe he sees my character as a mother and his instincts pop up more when she isn't around. He over hears other humans insulting her and gets overprotective of her...to the point of using his powers. Least that's my thoughts...

Lord Bane · « **Reply #95 on:** July 31, 2017, 02:43:25 AM »

That could be interesting, I'm guessing I'd be the dragon in that situation?

LiaraAmagi · « **Reply #96 on:** July 31, 2017, 04:17:42 AM »

I think we too much just follow extremely powerful characters around without making any difference to the story, Grim will begin to do independent things and make decisions that change the story from now on.

What do you think Levi?

You have been locked up for a crime you swear you didn't commit, but are struggling to prove your innocence. Luckily, among the staff of your prison is Professor Mertens, a scientist who has possession of a machine, called Enigma, which can read even the most shielded mind. He claims this may be the only way to uncover the truth. But Enigma is not what it seems.

It sees everything.

It KNOWS everything.

And discovering the truth of your crime, and the truth of the machine itself, will reveal one of the universe's oldest, and darkest secrets.

One the human race may struggle to survive...

Levi if you want to be less innocent we could make like a longer stay here with the elf's waiting for some opening during which time Grim is training ebony to be a good fighter and maybe some elves teach her other things? We don't have to role play that only say like now it is two weeks later. Then Ebony could start out like a more "practical" person? What do you think about that Levi and Lord Bane?

Minty · « **Reply #149 on:** August 27, 2017, 12:27:13 PM »

I think that is just fine by me. This is my first RP on here. Do we start by making a sub board for the RP? Or do we flesh out a character profile first? I'm sorry if these are really dumb questions.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #150 on:** August 27, 2017, 12:30:35 PM »

no such thing as a dumb question, probably best to make up a character profile first rather than posting it in the thread itself

Levi · « **Reply #151 on:** August 30, 2017, 02:12:29 PM »

Approved new character for new rp :)

Brandy had a past, everyone did. If Brandy's past could talk it would be with a capital P. Abandoned at birth and living rough all her life. Brandy learnt how to make herself useful by being the light on her feet and chatty with everyone. This quickly made her the go to girl on the street. Whatever you wanted Brandy could get it. This skill made her invaluable with the head's of the street gangs which brought her a fair ammount of immunity. It was during one such transaction that she gained her sword, and over years of study became a force to be reckoned with in her own right.One day she was asked to get a very rare item. A buglery of a rather handsome gemstone belonging to the commissioner of police. The information on the owner had not been given to her and so she had no idea who's home she was raiding, it became all to clear that the whole thing had been a trap. So she was captured and brought to the prison, where Brandy continued to be an entipinure and producer of goods. Her long red hair and eyes (contacts she had procured) made her a marked beauty upon the prison. However her standoffish aura made it clear she was not interested, she did make a few carefully selected friends amongst the prison gang leaders. After all everywhere had gangs.

Lord Bane · « **Reply #152 on:** August 30, 2017, 02:17:03 PM »

I can't remember if I pointed this out (and this may have no effect on the character) but this is a prison in space

Minty · « **Reply #153 on:** August 30, 2017, 02:23:28 PM »

Skurai was a space pirate. She had a really great crew and a nice ship and things were going pretty well for her as far as treasure hunting goes..Until she realized one of her crew was a yellow belly agent and turned her in. She lost everything....Every single thing.. And now she's got to get it all back.

Honestly, Skurai, or Rai for short, couldn't remember a time that she wasn't in space and on the wrong side of the law. She'd never killed anyone, really.. Just stolen..A LOT. I mean, a whole damn lot.. And the thievery only grew in scale as she got older until she was a pirate captain and found herself taking over shipping vessels and pleasure cruises across the galaxy. The 24 year old woman has a good eye for worth and a quick hand so watch yourself.

Minty · « **Reply #154 on:** August 30, 2017, 02:31:24 PM »

Lord Bane · « **Reply #162 on:** August 31, 2017, 06:12:13 AM »

(I might have to sort out a character picture later, not got one at the moment lol)

Timothy Scott, on the face of it, is a pretty unremarkable young man. Born on a merchant navy freighter to parents who rarely spent long on planets, other than a brief time in a military academy during his teenage years he has always worked the freighters. But he hides a dark secret, a horrific childhood which has left him with emotional, and even some physical, scars.

This is not why he is in prison however. Three years ago Timothy woke up in a hotel room, his girlfriend's dead body next to him. Despite his pleas of innocence the evidence appears damning. So now, while trying to keep as hidden as possible from the more dangerous inhabitants of the prison, he will do anything to find the truth.

Post in here I think. Here's mine:

Name: Clint Walker
Age: 22
Appearance: 5'10, green eyes, straggly brown hair, average build. Does carry a nasty scar on his left cheek.
Biography: Clint spent the first seventeen years of his life leading a steady, if distinctly average, life. But after a car accident just before his eighteenth birthday Clint has found himself changing. Now aged 22, Clint is on the run, trying to hide his telepathy and ability to form a shield around himself hidden from those who might manipulate his powers. He needs someone to train him, especially he is beginning to suspect he may be developing other powers he has yet to identify.
