RolePlayGateway™

[Saarai]

As some were talking about doing something like this before, I decided to take the initiative and get the ball rolling. R-Rated meaning that there will be very mature themes. A story will still be told. But depending on what people decide on it'll be told either realistically enough to make sure the mature themes are believable or so exaggerated you can't do anything but enjoy whatever carnage you'll be taking part in or watching. For now this is to see who's interested and see what ideas we can come up with, so far I have two that can and will be expanded upon. Others may suggest things to be added, taken away, or even throw their own ideas in if interested.

First: A serial killer RP of sorts. Yes, we've seen these done many times. But, I don't want it to be your average "who done it" killer RP. The killer, who's identity will not be known from the start but will be known in some capacity, isn't leaving calling cards, he doesn't have a catchy name in the headlines. He's killing for no real reason other than the fact that he's sure he'll kill everyone and get away with it. He's a thrill killer. He likes the challenge. But he doesn't get too caught up in it that he's not thinking. He's making use of messy areas where the weather, homeless people, and animals ruin any evidence of who did what. He's confident, he's not cocky. In order to get the most out of his killings, a real challenge, he lures several people of various ages, religions, body types, and professions to a location that is more or less secluded. An old asylum, old school, an arena locked down from the outside by janitors who didn't even know someone had sneaked, that someone left ways in for his victims. This was going to be his greatest challenge.

Second: Everyone loves myth, horror. Vampires, werewolves, all that good stuff. But what about something you don't hardly see as being horror worthy in myth? Faeries. Yes, those adorable little things that fly and throw magic dust on people. Now, let's be real, in myth Faeries were the names of different creatures with various intent. Gnomes, goblins, and even ghosts. The most popular belief, at least in the past, was that they were indeed ghosts and goblins. Demons and angels. Fallen angels. Servants of the Devil himself. They ate people, they kidnapped them, they were once good but have become wicked. Imagine if you found out these myths were true, all of those creatures from the stories were real. But, the only ones who were really a threat anymore were the wicked Faeries. Vampires and werewolves were hunted, living in isolation. But, the Faeries want what is theirs. The world. Your world. Our world. Now you must fight an army that has lived in seclusion, gaining manpower for the last 2000 years. They've already killed, captured, or gained the support of many of the world's humans. You're the last line of defense, you think, but there is someone among your group who isn't telling the whole truth. You'll never look at Tinkerbell the same way again, if you live.

Very interested in both ideas, good sir!
Me, I've never thought vampires and werewolves were all that; faeries done the way they're originally-friggin-written would give my heart a flutter (though I'm guilty of having the pretty little magic dust babies in one of my stories, I admit).
As for the first, twists needed. Throw in a good twist and I will be with that roleplay for life, I kid you not.

If you manage to get either one off the ground, please do pm me. :D Or heck, even if you just want to run ideas by someone. I'm new to this site in particular, I get lost on the forums sometimes haha.

Edit: Gasp, I just remembered there's a subscribe button somewhere around here. HAVE AT THEE, BUTTON.

There is interest from me.

I like the faerie thing, but what kind of "last line of defense" are we talking here? A ragtag group of individuals or maybe a couple hundred or so?

A bit of both. The part of the story we're doing would be a ragtag group. Though, because of what's going on, being against all odds, they obviously won't be enough. I don't plan for more than two characters to live to the end.

[smrtazz13]

I see, well that still sounds intresting, ill be waiting to see if that's what you go with

[Saarai]

The RP, either one, can go in any direction though. Think of it like Mass Effect or something. No one ending. Some are better than others, but... still bad in this case.

[BeeSurreal]

I'm interested in both the ideas. :3 I love the idea of malicious faerie's. I have a similar role play idea up on my thread. Let me know if you plan to do either role play, I would be highly interested in joining.

[Saarai]

I've been busy with some RL stuff, so I haven't been back to this thread. I think we can do both RPs. I'll get started on the killer one first, naming the story, setting up the story, and getting all the OOC threads together.

I can understand where you going with wanting some more mature subjects and themes, and from what I've seen I think that both ideas can be done within the rules of Gateway without any problems. Just on a technical note, please remember that all of the content on Gateway is actually rated PG-13 or lower. I think the ideas can be done within that, but I had to post as much to makre sure that everyone was on the same page, given the title of thread.

If you need to run content past someone, feel free to contact a Global Moderator. Thanks!

I am definitely interested, the ideas sound amazing. They need a bit of fleshing out though, but that's what I'm here for.

For the first one, I can see what the person playing as the killer would do, but what would the players do?

I like the second idea better, just because I'm more of a fantasy guy, but both ideas sound great.

Also, I'd like to play as a Faerie. I always like to be devil's advocate, and part of that is being the bad guy. I'm usually one of the good guys, so this will be a nice change.

[Ikiros]

still interested, I am. Just waiting for things to get finished and shown so that I can make characters accordingly.

[AlienKhan]

I just listened to this and thought it might help in some way to the second idea:

Got an OOC thread up for the killer RP which has a link to the roleplay tab for it.
