I've considered doing an original RP with an alternate Earth. It has a 1950's feel to it, but has advanced technology, sort of like Fallout, but without the Nuclear Apocalypse(Though there are still fears of a nuclear war in this universe, as the Cold War hasn't ended yet)

I'm thinking of a sci-fi themed RP, with some horror and anime-inspired elements.

Just a draft, but Palopel are planing on another role-play.
It's Palopel's idea so he should get all the credit, I'm just helping him.

I'm making an RP called "Conquest & Glory", it's a semi-historical RP inspired by Age of Empires and Empire Earth, and I'm making a system for it. It's a new system, but I'm trying to work it out and make it palatable to people. If it can catch on, it should help revitalize the RP community, but only if it can get enough initial support (At least 3-4 members)

The members can be key heroes in a civilization of their choice

The idea is that there is a basic structure the RP follows, and it's a continuating RP. The story is divided into four tiers: Classical, Post-Classical, Modern, and Post-Modern. Each tier gets its own thread. We start with Classical, and when that ends, we go to Post-Classical, when that thread is completed, we go to Modern, and so on.

Each tier is divided into epochs, 14 total.

Classical Epochs

Stone Age
Copper Age
Bronze Age
Iron Age

Post-Classical Epochs

Medieval Age
Renaissance Age
Enlightenment Age
Industrial Age

Modern Epochs

World War I
World War II
Cold War
The War on Terror

Post-Modern Epochs

Cyberpunk Age
Galactic Age

The easiest route is one thread per epoch, but that may be overextended.


There will be four archetypes for a civilization, they seem kind of obvious, but I feel the need to explain anyway

Western (Europe, North America, Russia)
Mideastern (Southwest Asia and North Africa)
East Asian (China, India, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia)
Aboriginal (Native American tribes, Latin America)

Extra Info:

"Mesa Rose..." A short slightly over weight girl looks down at a old school voice recorder.
"My name in Mesa Rose, and they want me to keep a record of myself. Like some sort of test subjects journal."
She laughs slightly with a snide look on her face.
"Like you really want to know the rats point of view."
She looks out from the sky scrapers 10th story window, watching the busy streets of this major metropolis.
"According to these guys research, I am completely human... Which for whatever reason they cant handle." She lets go of the record button as she watches a winged woman walk out of a grocery store look both ways and quickly takes flight. The yellow glow that emits from this woman as she speeds up taking off into the midday sky. Mesa sighs and hit the record button again. "In this world i live in being a 'mutant' or a 'super hero' has become relatively normal. A few hundred years ago I guess Some one thought taking all those comic books movies and stories and trying to make them a real life thing, was a good idea. FDA... some sort of archaic attempt to control the populous' eating habits or something... Didn't approve of Dr. K.R Nitegale's ideas or attempts to do testing. The people though, they wanted to be powerful, beautiful, intelligent, strong you name it. It only took a decade or two I guess to sway the public and start testing right away."
She looked behind her into a soft off white and grey room with a large mirror encompassing the wall behind her.
"I dunno much of the history after that like the hows and whys but about 30 years ago, people could request to be 'transformed' into amazing beings. It was inexpensive and went mainstream right away. The FDA crumbled when this all started so god knows what the repercussions could be. Anyway, my parents hopped right on that band wagon. Every child made in union from two 'changed' individuals were born with powers similar to their parents but more defined. Except me of course. I will count that as a blessing. Ever since I was 15 though it has been a curse, they honestly thought there was something medically wrong with me. Idiots.

A tapping came from the only door in the room. Mesa Looked up at the clock it was only 1400. "Its not dinner time yet." she thought out loud. "Who is it?" She called out. A muffled response came through the door, it sounded like a man. "Come in i can't hear you." The door opened slowly after that and one of the scientist's assistants came in. His name was Jermiah Macenfold. "Sorry to bother you Ms.rose, but they think they have made a break through." She arched her eyebrow curiously. "Like that last four revelations in the last few months...." She was unfazed. He looked up at her and smiled.
"You're a vessel." She looked at him.
"What?"
"Come with me, its something I discovered, if its the truth;we need to get you out of here."

OOC: I am putting this advertisment by request of my comrade Kokushi who will be making her first RP shortly. Since she is currently deployed she is however still really eager to do her first story. As a fellow serviceman I am willing to do all I can to help her out in this effort.

But enough about that, comrades I gladly welcome you to ...


The Elemental Legacy

Our story takes place on Divus, a simple yet beautiful world split into six separate continents ruled buy six separate lords. The six continents are called Batillus (Fire), Nymphe (Water), Tellus (Earth), Zephyru (Wind), Tenebra (Darkness), and Lucerna (Light); each named for one of the six elements that the people have mastery over, not to say that those who live on these continents cannot master other magics. The six continents form what appears to be a ring around a single barren island the size of the present day Alaska where legend says the Dark Lord and his companion lay in an enchanted slumber cast upon him by the Six Sages. One Sage from each continent was meant to be trained as the years passed in the event the Dark Lord should awaken, yet as years turned into Centuries and Centuries into Millennia, the practice slowly died out. Those that showed exceptional power with the elements were taken in to schools to train and become strong warriors, but nothing more.


Each Continent is dominated by a different race, though other races do live within the main populace. Those among the magical races are Elves (Tellus), Demons and Drow (Tenebra), Humans (Lucerna), Shifter (Zephyru), Nymphs (Nymphe), and Dragonborn (Batillus). Among the non-elemental based magic races reside the Centaur, Dwarves, Half- Orcs, Gnomes, Harpies, Minotaurs, Lycanthropes, Vampires, Gnolls, Trolls and the Halflings. The twelve non-elementals live on the continents with the six main races, though it is not always a peaceful co-existence for some races wish to see the Dark Lord rise. Now, nearly 5 millennia since the Dark Lord was sealed, those races may get their wish.


A disturbance has occurred within the middle island, the very thing that those who remembered the legends have feared. Each school has set forth their top student, one who is strong in their main focus, yet a master of all six, in hopes of being able to seal the Dark Lord before he awakens once more, casting shadows across their beloved world.


The School where the six Sages must train is located on the continent of Tenebra, within ēna Kristāla City, the capital of the Continent. This is where the story begins, but where it goes from here is completely up to those that the people of Divus now depend on. Each Sage has a stone representing their element that is embedded within the weapon of their choice and if they have no weapon, it was fashioned into a piece of jewelry they never remove.


--------------------------


Dark Lord Bonketsu


Bonketsu once ruled over the six contents as a fearsome ruler. He enslaved the races and forced them to fight each other, strictly for his and his Companions amusement. No one knows what race he belongs too, some say he is undead; others believe he is a twisted form of some immortal Demi-God who only wished destruction upon Divus. He ruled for nearly 500 years before a band of six Sages, one from each continent, sealed him and his companion away in the barren wasteland that was once the home of the seventh race that had long ago died out.


Now it has been nearly 5 millennia and the ground beneath the lost continent is beginning to shift, signaling his awakening.


Morphisor


Morphisor is Bonketsu’s companion who would fly to each continent, demanding a virgin tribute once yearly on the harvest moon. As a Red dragon, he is the largest, most powerful, and most infamous of the dragons. During Bonketsu’s reign as a tyrant, he did as he pleased and was often sent to burn down whole cities when they would not comply to Lord Bonketsu’s wishes. Morphisor was sealed along with Bonketsu 5 millenia ago and it is believed that he is the reason why the Earth shakes around the lost continent.


The Lost Continent has been barren since the Dark Lord had the inhabitants, and the land itself, exterminated because they refused to accept him as their new found leader. Those on the remaining six continents have long since forgotten the Lost Continent’s name and the name of the Race that once resided there, their power lost to time. This is the resting place of the Dark Lord Bonketsu and Morphisor, the place where the Six Legendary Sages saw it fit to seal them. What better place to eternally trap those who destroyed the land, within the land itself. Now, the land is slowly being shaken apart as both Bonketsu and Morphior stir, slowly coming out of their enchanted slumber.

OOC: Should any feel the need to ask for more details (Yes there is a TON more) then please feel free to PM Kokushi or me at any time comrades!

I've come up with a New RP. Hopefully this one will take off...

Role-Play Title: The Vampire Game
Rating: T-Teen since there will be some romance
Procedure of Application: Just post your application on the RP
Post Length: 5-7 lines
Expected Release Date: Within a week
Other Info: I'll just give an intro...


It was a very sunny afternoon in modern day France. A girl was looking around for a job. She is 21 years of age. She was busy looking for a job when a man ran into her. The man that ran into her was trying to get away from something and he left without a word. Curiousity got the better of this girl and she looked down an alleyway. She finds a male vampire. Afraid of her life, she runs away and the vampire chases after her now. As she runs down the street, another man shows up in front of her. The man offers her a choice, either be killed or become a vampire and fight.

This is where you come in. You will start in a prison. This prison is where the vampires have kept you for feeding purposes or maybe change you into a vampire.. There you will wait your fate of turning into a vampire, or you try and break free. And if you do choose to become a vampire, the process will take a while (say at least a couple of hours)

Kybur, This sounds great! When will it be up? Can't wait!
