Post-Apocalyptic Fantasy Idea! Have a looksie!

Topic Tags:

If you need roleplayers for your roleplay, this is the forum to post your "Seeking Players" topic.
Without the Light all shall perish in enternal darkrness. Protect it. Follow it and save humanity. Four friends keep having the same dream every night and at first think nothing of it, until one night when they see a shooting star. It crashes in the woods and what they find in a giant crater is a silver-haired girl. They take her back to one of their houses and let her rest. After days she awakens and along with her, all of their psychic and elemental powers. Each of them have control over one element and have one mental ability, which of course develope as the story progresses. The room is engulfed in a blinding white light and a man dressed in all gray tells them of a coming dark ruler who may take over the world and destroy all of mankind. He vanishes and with him the beautiful light. Everything changed. The world around them shifted completely. They're taken to a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. The sky is forever gray, buildings stand in ruins and there are few humans left to trust. Lurking around every corner are Shadows, the dark ruler's minions who kill everything they see. There are different, stronger versions of them all throughout the land. This is the dark ruler's world and soon he will open a portal to Earth and destroy it, that is unless the strange girl with violet eyes and silver hair can stop him first. Together she and her four newly found guardians travel through the world, facing many beast and deadly situations, toward the ruler's palace, where he waits to kill them all. Along the way they will encounter humans who they think are trustworthy, but may really be working against them. There are assassins out to get rid of them, among other dark forces, but also rebels who they can get help from. Will the world be saved? Or covered in enternal darkness.



Well that's the very undetailed gist of things. There are ten available spots: The main girl, her four guardians(one of which I will be playing), two rebels, two assassins, and the dark ruler himself. If I get enough interest I'll make an OOC! Feel free to post here or PM with your interest or any questions you may have!

Ooh, this sounds really, really good actually.
When it comes to the four guardians, we're talking water, fire, earth, and air right? And what kind of psychic powers are you considering?

Also, what are you looking for in the main character? Is she naive, not realizing what's going on? Or is she fully aware of the situation?
And all that stands between the souls release, this temporary flesh and bone...

I'm glad you like my idea! I've really been wanting to post it up for a while now, but I couldn't get the wording right.

Anyway, you're exactly right about the elements: Water, Fire, Earth, an Air. Now I wanted everyone to be able to do more with them than usual. Like whoever controls Earth can also heal minor wounds, make plants grow, things like that. Someone who has dominion over Air could also change the weather, such as creating a a tornado, which of course they wouldn't be able to do until they fully grasp control of their powers. And as for psychic ability, anything on this list counts as an ability, like Telepathy, Clairvoyance, et cetera.

I'd like the girl to be sort of innocent and kind, childlike in a way, she doesn't really know how important she is, but as the story progresses she becomes more aware of the task at hand.

Okay, that's kind of what I was looking for. Makes thing slightly more interesting. Haha.
So their powers are going to be a big part of this, I'm guessing?

And okay, that would make sense. What are you looking for in the guardians? Are they "average joes" or "outcasts"..."cool kids"?

Yes, since the guardians aren't properly trained with any sort of fighting skills, they will be relying heavily on their powers. I might let them each have some sort of weapon to channel their powers through, I'm not sure yet. ^^;; I would love if they were all from different 'cliques' instead of them all being the same, it adds some nice variety!

Ooh, this is kind of exciting. haha. I've been looking for a roleplay like this for a while.
And I like that. Brings more life into it rather than one group being selected by a higher deity.

Yeah I'm hoping some more people sign onto the idea so we can kick things off! I'm really excited about the storyline and I put a lot of thought into it, so hopefully others will flock to it ^^

Was there a specific role you were interested in?

=] Yes, I hope for the same. It would be nice to see this rp fly off and become something great.

And I was considering the roles of either the earth or water guardians. I thought about the main character, but I feel like supporting rather than leading. Haha

Can I call dibs on the air guardian? I like supporting roles. It's very comfy. Don't have all the pressure to be a mystical world saver and whatnot.
As for the clique, I call stereotypical hospital kid in a coma. What can I say, it is a tidy package: no need for detailed history, no dragging the character through the emotional breakdown of suddenly having a new identity thrust upon small shoulders, etc etc. Plus, it grants a simple character with all the emotional and psychological complexities needed to create a full person.

OR I could grab a rebel. I have something similar to an assassin elsewhere, and I'd like to keep my characters vastly different. With a rebel, I'd play it as someone who got too close to the dark ruler and needed to go 180 to survive.

Hopefully we'll have a main girl and dark ruler soon. From my experience, the longer it takes to fill roles, the more folks don't show up for the opened roleplay.

Both sound excellent, I'm sure whichever you decide to choose will be an enthralling choice!

I'm about to put up a wanted thread and possibly start up an OOC to hopefully generate more interest. I didn't really want to take the lead role, but I might depending on how many people seem interested in joining. I'll post the links here for the both of you when everything is up!

I think I'd be interested in this.

I'd love to play one of the villains.

Probably one of the assassins, is what I'd be most interested in, though I think the dark ruler would be a lot more challenging.

Assassins are easy to make cool and interesting. Dark lords are a lot more difficult.

Depends on what kind of dark ruler you are looking for, but I have a few possible ideas for either role.

It's available soooo yeah, I'll probably take the water or earth guardian, depending on who Jaylee_93 decides to choose.

Dreamstress welcome aboard! Are there any specific roles you're interested in? Right now I really need someone to play the lead girl and the dark ruler! ^^

I'll take up a character. I see you need a dark ruler and the lead character, but what other ones are open? I was interested in a guardian or the lead character. If I have to I'll play a different character it's fine with me.
