Thinking about starting a roleplay, but don't have the idea completely finished? Post it here, not in the main OOC forum!

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Redred33mer on Wed Aug 19, 2015 12:57 am

Hello there!

Having just finished watching Book 4 of the Legend of Korra, I was content with the character development process all the characters went through, but in the end, a bitter taste was left in my mouth. In a way, the series touched my heart, but I was unsatisfied with the way things turned out, and I wanted to know more.

So I come here, and I want to create an Avatar RP, but of course we would have to use original characters; it would just be no fun otherwise. We could incorporate already created characters, but I'd like to do that as little as we can so that I or the players can control this world and the personalities in it more directly.

I've drummed up a few ideas, and I'll post them below. I don't know which I'd pick because I like the technology set during and at the end of Legend of Korra, but national conflicts become a thing of the past after Kuvira is taken down and King Wu decides to decentralize the Earth Kingdom. But either way, someone (whether it be you or me, I am indifferent) will need to play the Avatar, and there will be plenty of space for other characters as well.

Well, here we go.




The Earth Warlords


After King Wu decreed for the kingdom to be decentralized with free elections in each state, some took the opportunity to seize their own state in the Earth Kingdom. These lands had foolhardy men reject the elections and maintain a dictatorship of their own, seizing power while the kingdom was weak in transition. With the continent having the world's attention, and the United Republic's ever present hand, conflict could inflate colossally if care is not taken in these matters.

The technology of the era would be a bit more advanced than Korra's time, with TV's being invented and cars and radios becoming more efficient (think of the real technology leading up to World War II). A second industrial revolution is upon the world where electricity begins replacing steam power more so than it already has. For the Avatar, the link between Korra and her past lives remains severed, so the only past life the current Avatar can contact is Korra. But, perhaps this can change...

Also, the Avatar must originally be of the Earth element.




An Earthly Continent


An altered history. In the days of city-states on the Earth continent of the world, one ruler had to rise to conquer the lands and make the Earth Kingdom. Going back to this time, how would the Avatar handle things? This is an altered history, meaning the outcome does not have to result in a unified Earth Kingdom. And this may be only one of many developments in the world.




The Great War


Another altered history. After Roku's passing came the outbreak of war and the genocide of the air nomads. But did Sozin really kill all the nomads? What shall the reborn Avatar do as they are hunted by the Fire Nation? What will the citizens of the world do as they take sides, or remain apathetic in this deadly conflict? Join in to shape the personalities and figures of this world changing war.

The Avatar must be of the element, Air.




Anyways, that's what I got for ideas right now. If anyone else thinks of something cool, shoot me a PM, and if you're interested, PM me or post here with what you're interested in. I'm only going to start one RP and I don't want more than three other people, making a total of four in this RP.

Hope to hear from some people out there!

Damn, like 30 people looked at this interest check and still no one. What terrible luck.

Hmm... I'm interested in the last two ideas. Modern technology just seems to make me less excited about Avatar.

I didn't watch much past season 1 and 2, myself. I just felt that they ruined the characters for me with the infamous love triangle debacle and their refusal to address the fate of the Equalists after Amon died.

I've been watching the Legend of Korra on Amazon, unfortunately they only have 1 and 2 on prime so I am awaiting for Books 3 and 4 to become available. Why I am responding though is that some of the ideas you've presented are similar to thoughts I had myself. To be more specific they also had something to do with the state of the Earth Kingdom after the end of LoK. Of course I don't mind sharing my thoughts if you do chose to make a RP based on your first idea.

Cool, thanks for the link. Well if you're still thinking about an Avatar RP, I'm up for participating and perhaps collaborating over ideas! :)

I'm down for idea 1, or any for that matter and I'm not greedy for an avatar spot either.

If you want, feel free to take this and use/modify whatever you want from it. I was gonna run it, but my co-gm vanished and I lost interest. It's mostly all my ideas and I have no problems whether you make use of it or not. Have fun with it if you want. If you want more information on any of it, PM/IM me. I probably won't follow this thread.

Personally as a massive Avatar fan, I'd be more than happy to jump into any of these ideas.
