INTEREST CHECK TIME!

I'm thinking about starting a RP, and I have a couple of ideas I've been playing around with, so here we go. Please let me know if any of these interest you, and if so, which one would you prefer:

• Shaolin Showdown!
Spoiler:

• Journey through the Orange Islands
Spoiler:

• A Song of Ice and Fire; the Long Night
Spoiler:

• Gang Wars, Saffron City
Spoiler:


And yeah, I think that's pretty much it. Please comment!

EDIT:
@Reds: Warcraft RP sounds GREAT! :)

Gang Wars sounds like it would need a very defined plot and continuous events in order to assure people keeping interest in an RP that is restrained to one city~
A Song of Ice and Fire. Okay so I have this crush in GoT as of now, so I'd definitely be all over that regardless of the plot xD
Shaolin Showdown :OOOO YES YES YES I LOVED THAT SERIES AND THE WU CONCEPT OMG DO IT AND DO IT NOW!
Orange Islands AAAAAAAH DO IT DO IT DO IT!
No, seriously, I have yet to see a journey RP set in the Orange Islands where there are friggin' pink Pokemon and Valencian Pokemon, and if you do it, I WILL LOVE YOU FOR EVER EVER AFTER

@Reeeeeka. I apologize for not replying.
MMOs and RPGs have that very special something when made into RPs :3
Maybe it's the world, or the freedom/customization or whatever, but I'd definitely be interested in an RP like that :D
 
@ anyone who commented on the Warcraft thing - okay :D thanks for the response!

@ lacoste, I'm interested in the Orange Islands and Saffron Gang Wars ideas. Especially the Saffron one! To have some fighting trainers, some dark and some psychic team up and do stuff in a confined and hopefully well described city would be pretty cool.
 
I was thinking of a roleplay involving gangsters, mafia wars, guns, drugs, prostitution, back-stabbing and Hong Kong. How does that sound?

And if you're wondering, yes I just came off from playing Sleeping Dogs.
 
Just making a roleplay that is all about the afterlife if anyone's interested and is heavily based of the anime angel beats. The ooc will be up in a little while and if you like the sound of it I will post the link here - since it may become difficult to find. It's called 'Life after death.'

I just felt like saying that - it's my first time using this thread :)

Oooo I love Angel Beats! Not really sure how that would work though... unless we were to stay in purgatory forever. Anyways, I might not be able to join since i'm so busy XD but nevertheless I'll either join or follow along closely
 
Guys, it saddens me to say that I must take a really really long break. My laptop is broken, internet is crappy at at best, life duties and too much real academic requirements are severely taking too much of my time. I just can't continue to roleplay for now, for at least a month or two until I get everything sorted out. Sorry guys. I'll miss this corner, and the awesome people here. Bye for now. Tata. I love you all. See you space cowboys.

Feel free to kick me out whatever rp i am in. Bye guys.

RT ip you creyed. T.T
 
Damn it guys, stop having awesome ideas! Who will pay attention to my Zelda RP now?

I'm working on the OOC Post for Legend of Zelda: Hyrule's Decline as we speak type read this.



That said, here are the target audience factors:


Zelda Series Fans and Fanatics (You don't have to be as crazy about it as myself, though)

Dedicated Roleplayers (Those that can post regularly and not spontaneously die)

Creative Minds (Characters must start out very flawed; the point of this is to leave much room for improvement!)

Small Group Possibility (A small group means closer interaction, and a bit more dedication is required to achieve this)


If you think you can fit into something like this, be sure to keep a look out for this thread in the near future. I'll be sure to mention it here when I see that it has been accepted and ready for players. I hope I'm not the only one excited!
 
Has anyone ever considered using the Showdown Battle server to host a roleplaying tournament?...
 
@ Peter, that sounds pretty awesome, haha. But at the same time not, because battles are fun to write about. But maybe battles could be done there just to decide what pokémon faces what, and who goes down when and who finally comes out as the winner. And then the replay could be used as a base for a proper post about the battle :3

That's what I meant, mainly :) Making accurate teams and writing about whatever occurs during the match, in a more literary sense.

So, for instance, if you get a random crit hit in the battle then you can write an explanation of how it was such a good hit - similarly if an attack misses/is avoided then the writer can explain that.

Honchcrow used Air Slash. It missed.
Croconaw used Water Pulse, 25% Damage.
Honchcrow used Thunder Wave, Croconaw is paralysed.
Honchcrow used Wing Attack, 32% Damage.
Croconaw was fully paralysed.
Honchcrow used Wing Attack, 32% Damage.

Croconaw dove to the side, anticipating the dangerous air slash attack, countering with a powerful pulse of water. Honchcrow, furious at it's miss, commanded a wave of electrical energy to paralyse its foe, before reeling off a series of wing-attacks - each hit the slow crocodile pokémon, slowly chipping away at its health.

It would, in many ways, add an element of 'realness' to roleplay-written battles as they tend to be overly fair as nobody wants to ever lose.

I'd love to see someone implement this into a journey roleplay. For Gym Battles the GM could easily make some mockup team, etc.

See, what I'm thinking of three possible ways to put this:

1: The world of Pokecommunity, with Skymin being the name of God, and Swifty being Jesus, with a threat approaching

2. Kinda like Smash Brothers, with each person choosing a character they would like to have the powers of, not necessarily Nintendo. (Can be anything, be it Final Fantasy, Halo, Dragon Ball, etc.)

3. The real world is being threatened by a malevolent force, and teenagers/college students from around the world gather together to defeat it with powers of their own. (The teenagers/college students being us)
