Aix Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Who would be interested in an episodic series of RPs? Each RP will be relatively short and feature a single objective, aka a quest. There will be a common setting (a headquarters of some sort) and a recurring cast of characters, although new characters can be continually introduced and old ones removed. RPers can even join and leave. There will be no limit on the number of players or characters, however each Quest may have a limit. I will be the primary GM for the sake of having someone in charge, but anyone involved is free to create and host these quests or if anyone has ideas, but doesn't want to host it they can just speak up. These are two ideas I have down, although if you have any other ideas, please tell me below in the comments. [spoiler=Holy Sword]A dark fantasy featuring the fictional empire of Arkland, reminiscent of medieval Europe with religious extremism, racism, and misogyny. This RP has the characters on the side of questionable morality, and potentially commit brutal acts. Although Arkland is ruled by the Emperor, the Church of the Allfather dominates all affairs and holds great sway with the populace and nobility alike. Their claim to fame lies not only with allowing devouts entrance into the afterlife, as the churches in our history did, but also the Holy Sword Order who protect the people from the forces of darkness, which are very real in this world. Goblins, ogres, evil spirits, and most dangerous of all—witches, people who gained monstrous powers by selling their soul to the Mother of Darkness. The primary setting of this RP is the newly founded Estrian Branch of the Holy Sword Order. The former Kingdom of Estria was only recently conquered by Arkland and its people are being oppressed and forcefully converted to the faith of the Allfather. Rebel factions still run rampant and the entire state is in a state of chaos. To make things worst, the region was gifted to the Emperor's incompetent little brother. In these harsh times, there is more people than ever who succumb to darkness and become witches. It is up to you to protect the land from these monstrous beings and more with nothing but your sword, your wits, and extreme tenacity. [spoiler=Cherry Heart]A light-hearted fantasy. Arbolia is a land of magic, where one in ten people hold the power to command the forces of the supernatural. Since antiquity, these people have banded together to form guilds in the pursuit of adventure, wealth, or knowledge. Loved by the common folk, they contribute to the peace and prosperity of the land by accepting the people's requests. Among these guilds, there is one whose name resonates throughout the history of Arbolia. That name is Cherry Heart. Since its destruction 500 years ago, numerous people have tried to claim the name, but the Magical Guild Index still lists Cherry Heart as active. Now, momentous news spreads through Arbolia—Cherry Heart is open and recruiting! This RP is based off Fairy Tail, but will be set in a completely different universe. Worldbuilding will be done as we go. The episodic format allows us time to brainstorm between Quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Hilariously enough, I've got an RP of this premise in development. Ah, oh well, no chance it'll get up now. Cherry Heart it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asriel Dreemurr Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Holy Sword seems a lot like Kate's old Wisteria RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Holy Sword seems a lot like Kate's old Wisteria RP. Thought you liked Wisteria, but you're voting for Cherry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Actually a bit funny, considering I have something in a similar vein to this in the works. Regardless, it sounds like a good time, so I'd be game for either of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Chaos Sonic Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 They both sound interesting...however...due to me recently binge watching Fairy Tail, Cherry Heart seems a bit more fun xD Dragon Slayer FTW xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexotero Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Holy Sword actually sounds like it could work for long-term for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEStroyer of worlds! Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Both seem pretty interesting RPs, though cherry has a t least somthing to compere it to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessicaMuddy Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Interested in Cherry Heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 If you're gonna do Cherry Heart, at least just drop the pretense and set it in the Fairy Tail canon. I'd rather Holy Sword, though. Been looking for a more "classically fantastic" RP for a while now, but none of them have tickled my fancy. Real question tho: how many posts would you expect each of these units to go on for? 30, 60, 90 posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherz Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Cherry heart~ I like cherries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Cherry Heart sounds pretty right up my alley. If you're gonna do Cherry Heart, at least just drop the pretense and set it in the Fairy Tail canon.well its apparently only inspired by FT. if it actually was in FT canon i wouldn't be interested at all, at least.

I don't like canon settings for the most part. I'm not sure of exact numbers. It seems like a length just barely short enough for YCM to finish though.

Wind Rider Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Cherry Heart has peaked my interest, a light hearted but action filled RP? Sign me up for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Htamret Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 So for Holy Sword, will players be part of the Order or one of the rebel factions?As for voting, I'd play both but leaning a bit more on Cherry Heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyng Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Aix, couldn't you make a sub-forum for such an RP of this nature? Or would that be excessive, in your opinion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aix Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I had considered it, but we'll see how it goes first. It's a little excessive as of now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind Rider Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 So as soon as the RP is set do you want us to submit our characters? ( IE. Origin, physical features, personality, abilities, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
