Introduction

So, this is my first RPG here. I have been in love with Wicked since I read the book and I'm a huge Gelphie-Shipper. So I hope to find a nice Elphaba to develop this story

Story

"Elphie, get in this cab, don't be a fool," Glinda cried. The driver was adjusting the reins and yelling at Elphaba to sodd off.
"You'll be alright," Elphaba said, "now you're a seasoned traveler. This is just the return leg of a voyage you already know." She put her face against Glinda's and kissed her. "Hold out, if you can," she murmured, and kissed her again. "Hold out, my sweet."
The driver clucked the reins, and pitched a cry to leave. Glinda craned her head to see Elphaba drift back into the crowds. For all her singularity of complexion, it was astounding how quickly she became camouflaged in the ragamuffin variety of street life in the Emerald City. Or maybe it was foolish tears blurring Glinda's vision. Elphaba hadn't cried, of course. Her head had turned away quickly as she stepped down, not to hide her tears but to soften the fact of their absence. But the sting, to Glinda, was real.


Wicked - The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Gregory Maguire (p. 178)

It took her several minutes to gather all her courage and finally jump off the cab. It was a rather stupid thing to do, especially for someone like her. It would have been so easy to simply go back to Shiz and mourn the loss of her best friend. She would have told Nessarose that she did her best to stop her but failed. However, Glinda would no longer accept losing someone so dear. It had taken her so long to find a friend like Elphaba who saw all the wonderful things nobody else could see.
She hurt her arm when she landed on the ground. Her dress was ripped and dirty, but she was alive and still in the Emerald City. For a moment she watched the cab driving on without her, not even stopping once to see if she was alright or dead. Now she was all alone in this city she had despised from the very start, trying to find Elphaba without knowing where to start.

  • I want you to take this seriously. So if you don't have time to post, tell me or I'll have to re-open your character after 10 days.
  • The main pairing is going to be Gelphie. No Fiyeraba or whatever.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Okay. I'm really sorry. I'll just abandon the character, and you can inform whoever wants the character that they can just adopt her.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

I don't think this will work, I'm sorry. If it was another story I'd be glad to have you playing Elphaba, but the musical isn't enough. Its content is too...shallow. It's great, don't get me wrong, but it has no chance to illuminate Elphaba's life like a book (or it would be a 10-hour-musical)

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

I'm sorry. I can quit this position if you want.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

A "What if" story about Wicked, bookverse


This RPG is based on the book, as I already mentioned in the introduction. I don't want a musical based RPG, so having read the book is kind of neccessary to play, since the stories are rather different. I thought that this was clear. I don't think that this can work this way, especially if you have no clue what the book is about.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Um, yeah. I was thinking maybe you could go first. To be honest, I never actually read the books, I only watched the musical.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Well, I honestly don't expect many other players, so I thought we could start. Wicked isn't one of the top themes for RPGs. Actually, I was surprised that I'll find an Elphaba in the first place.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Wait, what, we're starting already?

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

You can begin, if you want. The text below the quote of the book was kind of my first post.

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Actually I don't have an application form. I somehow totally forgot about that.
But it would be great if you'd join as Elphaba, long character application or short one

I just tried to put together something real quick. Feel free to add/delete whatever you like

Re: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road

Do you have a character application form? I would be glad to join as Elphaba, but my character applications are usually a little short without any forms.
