Random Idea...Sound Good?

a topic in Interest Checks, a part of the RPG forum.

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

Random Idea...Sound Good?

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby DoomsdayTamako on Mon Sep 20, 2010 12:26 pm

Well, I have RPed a bit before so I have some experience, but I'm relatively new to roleplaying in this form...So, I just decided to post an idea/introduction to one of my planned RPGs here to see if it's any good, and what I can improve on to make it seem more interesting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a world, not to distant from our own. This world is shrouded in mystery, and few people know of it. The most we've managed to find out about it is that this enigma happens to spawn a massive amount of disappearances within our own. How do normal people seemingly fade away? Do they wake up inside this odd world? If so, were they taken to it for a reason? This questions have not yet been answered...

My name is Sarah. I am a normal person who fell victim to one of these disappearances. I have the answers to these questions, but just a bland singular-word statement won't be a satisfying answer. You'll have to learn the long one. This world is known as Kodai by its residents. It is a nearly-desolate land, ridden with a large war between two halves on separate sides. The purpose behind the war, that too is a secret that must be kept. But I have been brought here along with several others to fight. Those who came, some went one way, some went another, a few have even formed their own alliance. But in the end...Nobody won.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is Kodai?

Kodai can be considered the opposite of Earth. While Earth is split into many smaller nations and excels scientifically, Kodai has two large warring nations and has given up the chance at science to use magic. The war itself is essentially a large civil war, when one nation opposed the world-wide rulers because of the way they were mistreated. Some people joined the rebels, agreeing with their purposes, whilst others stayed with the rulers, feeling they enjoy their treatment and are too weak to last independently.

Why are regular people being brought in?

Reinforcements, for both sides. The rivaling nations have brought us in, hoping our scientific knowledge can be combined with their magical knowledge, making them stronger and thus winning the war. Some people choose to stay on the side they were original recruited too, some decide to switch to the other side if it suits them better, some form their own alliances, either to find a way to get back or to not take a side altogether.

Who will we be?

Your character(s) can be regular people that are brought into Kodai, or normal citizens of Kodai.

Where/When does it take place?

I suppose the roleplay takes place in Earth, where all of the characters will join. By the time we all wake up in Kodai, that will be the point where new players can't join, but existing ones can make more characters. The entire roleplay is essentially one large flashback from Sarah, the main character, but since the introduction doesn't imply much, things can go however it will, as long as Sarah makes it out alive.

So, yeah! Please let me know what I can do to improve ^^
Signatures are overrated. :D

Hmmm...maybe.

I think it'd be interesting to play a real-world surgeon that, once transported over, starts to learn healing magic and combines the two disciplines.

Sounds like a good idea, there are so many fields of technology you could apply magic to. Tell us when the RP goes up

I like this... I'd join this if you put it up, DoomsdayTamako.
Hey bitch, I don't care if it kills me
and I don't give a damn if it hurts
I'm going to live for the fun of it
Because this is my stinkin' life, not yours

I'm a sci-fi nut. IS is possible that I can join as an alien who in orbit around orbit when he disappeared. Very little tech could have been on him.

Also if their teleporting people kodia. Having a enity whose knowledge is greater scientifcally then humans would be a reason to pull him to kodai.

Alright, if I can get at least one more supporter over night, I'll make it tomorrow. Procrastination is kind of a bad trait to have. :l
