Yeah... I havn't RPed in -ages-. A year, if not more. And, I just have the strong urge to do so. surprised Rusty as hell, I am, but it'd be good fun.
There's no way i'm going into somebody else's RP, though. I'll make one myself. But what will it be about... Realistic twisted, or Fantasy flash?
I'm actually leaning toward Reality-twisted. Future time period, though. Hmm... I'm not going to have it free-range, this time. Those never seem to gather enough stable RPers to keep goin'. So! I need a good, single, solid location to hold this at.
But where.. Just a good ol' base? Yeah... Yeah, with some sort of defense keeping things from going out and going in. surprised Big, thick border walls. And since it's the future, some sort of forcefield?
But now the question comes, what are they keeping out? And why are they keeping in, whoever (RPers) it is they're keeping -in-... Hmm, i'm liking the idea of it being the "last human zone". Meaning most, or all, of the other places of the world have been wiped out because of... uh... well, something.
I'll dig into my cliche` bag for this one, kiddies. I'll say that mankind got into some technology that would supposedly allow them to live longer, be stronger, smarter, healthier. And it was easy, cheap to do. And for a while, nothing was wrong. But then, some late changes start to happen to those who took this. Demensia, and some mutations? And of course, these effects were transmitable through biting or some-such, just because everyone loves a good Bitin' in an RP. wink
So! The forcefield is keeping out those hyper-developed baddies, and keeping -in- the... hm... Well, I suppose the people to be rid of those? Hmm, there should be something else... Ah! Crystals. *digs around more in Cliche` bag* Yes, crystals that were scattered to various places on each continent, in case something should go wrong. Crystals that, when all joined together in one perfect being (Someone either born, or created by science) would allow for the wipe-out of the hyper developed baddies. Probably look like some big, white shockwave... Like when Gambino came back. surprised
So, that'll allow for whoever goes out into the open world, while out to kill off the baddies, to find those crystals. And now a thought of underlaying-plot begins to stew... The crystals thing seems too perfect, like it was planned (Yes, even to me). Now, why would mankind plan that? A conspiracy of some kind? A good, or bad one...? Was it developed by one bad group of people to kill off this world, or was it made by a group of twistedly good-intentioned people to bring mankind to the next stage of evolution, the hard way?
I'll keep that secret. surprised
And now to focus on the characters of this. (RPers) First, there will be the technology to bring people, certain people, from the past. People who were born with very specific genes, that are needed to go out and do "The job" (killing/searching the land). These people can be from any time period in the past. Meaning they can come from 2006, or 1006, or... well, 6. surprised
Imagine those people, their reactions to the world they thought they'd never see. These characters will also have -none- of those "inhansements" that mutated and created the hyper-developed baddies. And most likely none of the safer genetic protectants and inhansements that the rest of the future, non-mutated, population will have. Which would mean they'd have shortened lives. In the way of society, these people are often looked down upon. People will be afraid to talk to them, or do anything in general with them, because they're afraid they'll "hurt" them. Dispite the fact that these past, "natural" humans will have insane abilities and power. Some, who won't even know they have their skills.
Second, will be "baddies". surprised Only, these are hyper-developed humans who didn't go wrong. They're still sane, and still have the higher strength; intelligence; longevity; overall health. But because they are all unstable, they're going to be kept under constant watch by guards, and automated defenses within the base. And society/population, will always be afraid or hate them for what they are. Not a pleasant place to be, if you're looking to be popular. But, nice if you want to be some super-strong demon-type. surprised
Third, we have humans. Normal future-born humans. They have all the general health advances that are available in the future time-period. But the only way they can go out into the harse environment of the world outside the forcefield, is some sort of tech-suits. Meaning MECHAS! surprised They'll pilot them, obviously, and have to be very skilled to do so.
Fourth, the genuine baddies. Hyper-developed on the outside. Sure, they're all insane. Sure, they'll live forever unless killed off some brutal way. Sure, you can't trust them for all the gold in virginia. And sure, they want to wipe you out the moment they see you. But hey, they're still awesom. surprised They've been around for possibly hundreds of years, and live the only real free life. Something like... *cringes* a vampire. u_u They'll lure you in, make you feel safe, before biting your head of. surprised They will also be in turmoil, as they have the CHOICE to go out and live a free life in the world like the rest of their "kind", or stay in the world that dislikes them just because they want to do the right thing. Or, whatever other creative reason anyone can think of for thier character being there. surprised
Now, that should do it for the basic characters i'm seeing for this RP. Aaand, I guess I don't see much else for the basic plotline... I guess that's it? Heh, i'll check and see what others think. And for the record, i'm wanting my character to be one brought from the past.
