Ah, anyway.. I wanted to suggest a player faction. But it depends on whether there's a marshland in the valley.


I see no reason why the valley can't have a marsh; the result of runoff from the mountains to the North (where the North Rock Slabs and Rise Rooks reside). Species wise it's been so long that I think anything could have migrated to the region. Why, during one RP we had mutant Gazelles in what we know as Canada.

Have an idea for a religious cult for player faction...if possible. I'll read the background for the religion and will come up with something.


hm, well, let's hear it. Their are some in game cults to consider if you'd like to build the faction around one of them; The Archivist, Programmers, and Radioactivists- the Radioactivists I think are the most promising. Link. If built around one of those three we can always have it as a sect of that faith (search Radfield on the wiki to learn of a Radioactivist sect known as the Rads). Alternatively we can have a new one so long as it's not similar to the above mentioned three.

In other words
Hybrids - not searching up a picture of that, last time I did resulted in some strange results; for this one just picture an anthro animal person
Humanistic Animals
or
Animalistic People


The 'Humanistic Animals' (as shown in your example of the panther from Jungle Book) and 'Humanoid Animals' as seen below;
Image
Are the most common in Gamma World. However, their are others types. The Mutant Animals have caused a number of OOC discussions in the past; namely when they begin to become too human looking.

Image

One person had asked if, say, an individual that looked like Holo the Wolf, is a Humanoid or Mutant Animal. The Answer is simple; a character like Holo would be a Humanoid possessing either the Shapeshifter or Total Metamorphosis mutation. A character that is human save for cat ears is a Humanoid.

It goes to ancestry- if the ancestors where Human then it's a Humanoid, but the character's ancestor was a Wolf it's Mutant Animal. For example, let's take Holo- Let's say her true for is that of a great Wolf. In that case she is a Mutant Animal with the Shapeshifter mutation allowing her to take on a human like appearance (being Science Fantasy we need not ask why such a mutation would develop.

As for Hybrids- it's believed that Mutant Animals can only reproduce with individuals who share a common ancestry- a Mutant Wolf and Mutant Beagle may have pups because they are both Canines but a Mutant Pig and Mutant Rooster can not no matter how human like both their bodies may be- the genes just don't mix.

I wouldn't mind taking a slight Fallout spin for my character if you didn't mind. It would be interesting if in this world reclaimed by nature we had a human crawl out of one of the vaults only to find that his family and friends didn't make it and thus come to terms with being the last human alive. It could take a very solemn depressing start and turn cheery as his quest for survival soon takes a turn for the better when he encounters other sentient beings. The large dramatic moment at the end can be him discovering that there are other humans alive and choosing between his now close friends or leaving them to go in pursuit of these other humans, but instead decide to stay with his friends as the true lesson to be learned here is that the characteristics we are born with do not decide how we live our lives.

Gonna type up something for this idea and tack it onto this post here shortly, if you read it before I have then I will likely post the short story in another post.

It all seemed sudden, warning bells chimed and sirens blasted as people rushed for a concrete structure nearby. The sky was a lovely blue hue and inside a quaint home sat a young woman in her early twenties looking at a magazine upon a red couch sitting within a living room area. "Hey, Robbie," her amazing auburn hair fluttered as she turned to face the kitchen across the open area between the two rooms, the lass' emerald eyes stared down her husband with devious intent, "this magazine says -"

"Thought we talked about it? Things are just too unstable for it right now. I don't want to change our whole lifestyle so suddenly. Six more months when Amy is older, okay?" The husband, Robert, was only one year younger than his wife, but the difference in them was that he had done two years of military service already and was up for more should they need him.

Forgoing the argument the two fixed dinner, both knew the others reasoning and thus they were caught in the middle of their own choice and the opposition. Robert had Amelia in his lap and was feeding the toddler before looking over at Terra, "Maybe moving wouldn't be so bad. It would be a change of pace after all." Terra shook her head, "No, I think you were right, if they call you back here me and Amelia have people who can help us." The couple grinned, now it seemed as though they were playing the devil's advocate to one another.

The television stopped playing soft music and instead switched over to a government siren, it gave instructions to enter the nearest emergency shelter. Robert stood up with Amelia in his arms and grabbed Terra's hand, "We gotta go!" They ran out the door of the house and jumped into the car, Terra secured Amelia into her carseat and the three raced up the road. The nearest emergency shelter was on the outskirts of a nearby city. Upon arrival they were to give their social security numbers and two forms of I.D. to verify citizenship. Robert had just gone through the check with himself and Amelia when he turned to wait for Terra and saw a bright orange glow break the horizon. The doors slammed shut and the last thing Robert ever saw of his wife was her hand reaching towards him as the blast neared ever closer.

"Terra!" His heart sank as Rob sat there holding his infant daughter before two policemen stood him up and began escorting him to another room. He was so out of it that honestly the poor guy did not even take notice of his manhandling. By the time his senses had returned Rob noticed he was in some sort of cylinder, though Amelia was still within his arms. A freezing liquid flashed into the tube as he clutched Amelia tightly.

As if only seconds had passed the liquid began to melt and drain out of the tube and Rob awoke with Amelia in his arms. Looking through the glass window of his tube he saw no movement and decided to pull the handle labeled OPEN which broke the airtight seal and lift the front up. Instantly he saw what had occurred. Faulty wiring had fried and killed power to all the weird tube things except his, the individuals inside had drowned in their sleep. Horrified he left the basement area of the shelter and proceeded to the top where he found supplies. The food and water had spoiled, but the guns, ammunition, and clothing were still in good enough shape. He looted what he could and found a set of Army fatigues in a olive color along with protective equipment consisting of a helmet, vest, knee, and elbow pads of the same color as well as some boots. For Amelia he found some khaki pants and a green shirt originally intended for a boy, but all the other children's clothes were ruined beyond all use. Rob attached a rifle to his vest and put a pistol in the holster on his belt before grabbing a backpack full of various supplies. With Amy in his arms the father set out from the shelter and was surprised at what he found.

Sprawling out before him was a world of overgrowth and fauna of all types. Nature had reclaimed what was hers and it was at this moment that he realized the scope of just what had happened. The world as he had known it was over, mankind was gone, but his shock and awe at the situation quickly faded as Amelia's stomach growled with the roar of a lion, it was still technically dinner time - a long time on pause.


Sorry it is short, got called out for something. Will finish later. Sorry for the names, I will come up with better ones, just figured I would use some names that I have not personally heard in awhile.


It is possible... you'd be quite the outsider, but the Restorationists (a faction seeking the rebirth of the nations of the old world by restoring lost civilizations) has set up near the Valley. The Restorationist are known to settle close to C.E.E.P.S; but no C.E.E.P is known to the people of the valley- but the Restorationist may know that such exists, and thus why they have settled close to the Valley which before the Social Wars, had been a Park (which was next to a Wild Life Sanctuary, and oddly enough a Medical Research Facility).

This is a CEEP: Link . The CEEP aka Keep is managed by a CI, and stored with various tech three items for use by the occupants. Items that tend to make CEEP a fabled target for raiders (assuming they can find one). But they are so strong that most raiders give up. The CI is also smart enough not to open the CEEP when doing so would put the occupants in peril.

This is the world your character would have been and is living in: Timeline Link

However, playing a Pure Strain Human can be challenging, but amazing too- but in this setting you will be 'the alien', and the world will be just as 'alien' to you as your are to it. Are you willing to take these challenges head on? (Note: Pure Strain Humans can not mutate, but their exposure to the world may cause their children to be born as Humanoids who possess only one mutation).

I would do it, I always loved the Fallout games because you know what the world used to be, you know where you are standing was once Las Vegas (I have actually been in most the casinos in Fallout New Vegas) but instead of the world you knew it is now this strange and alien planet. I'd love to capture that and experience it through the eyes of a man who is not only fighting for his own survival but especially for the survival of his child. I also tried to design the backstory to where he doesn't have much actual training, so human instinct plays a lot into his actions. A bit of a statement on how the Things (I have no clue what noun you assigned the animal peoples) have grown more human as he relies on his natural instinct to survive. Kinda feel sorry for the guy though, writing that (before I was informed we had to head out) kinda broke my heart, I know it did not really show through cause I had to gloss over it, but the pain and anguish of the last thing you see being your wife as the bombs drop off in the distance would be so horrible - I think to really hammer it home the first scene of him getting out of the vault I would do would be him finding her skeleton 200+ years later and finally being able to have a funeral. My only thing is I don't know if it would make a good RP as I'd want a good week or so of him to be purely on his own with the kid clawing for survival before he meets anyone so we can really see the character at his worst. More or less he'd go crazy and be a lot like Tarzan XD

I don't know I just love the idea of a somber sense of adventure and wonder as Man fights for survival. I mean, toddlers cannot really fend for themselves (unless they are my munchkins in which case they accidentally stab you with a fork when you try to feed them) so you have an almost caveman like social status of carrying this kid around so that they do not die while also foraging, gathering, and hunting. A bit like Farcry: Primal meets Fallout meets Last of Us. It just sounds so damn awesome! ^.^

Dog :D This reminds me of how one of the early RP ideas I had was one that focused on people emerging from a CEEP- people who in the old world where of diverse social positions having to work together in a new world where their former status is of little impact- the CEO's company has long been inactive, the politicians political party no longer exists, and the technology they took for granted has become sparse. Suddenly the fact that the CEO once was paying this man for labor is of no realistic impact- they are suddenly no more then two people in the same boat set a drift in an unfamiliar sea.

... Though on your statement about if the character would be good in the RP; it's worth noting that the Mutant Animals of the valley have had little contact with Humans- the Restorationists are the first this generation has encountered. The Android calling himself Warden, and his Rangers have given them an image of what humans look like- but stories of humans are not generally favorable in the valley. The animal folk living on the valley's edge are weary of the Restorationists. What do these humans plan to do to their home? Restorationist renounce any Post-Social War society, and thus wouldn't acknowledge the Council-Moot as a real government. Additionally, the valley's history- it was once a park- it's very likely the Restorationist will seek to make it such again. The only hinderance would be the inhabitance....

Has your character found a 'fit' in this situation or as you stated before is he new to the Valley, and has yet to meet the Restorationists nor the Mutant Animals; or does he indeed have contact- perhaps having encountered the Bonapartist Expedition which seems to view him as 'below them'?

I feel Lazarus (seemed a better fitting name for now, going to address the kid as Phoenix) would align himself with those who are like him, simply trying to get by and survive. He would want a home, a place to call that at least. Humans naturally desire social interaction and companionship, and while one can argue Phoenix fulfilling that innate human desire for companionship I am going to debunk it because as much as I love my munchkins kinship is far different than companionship (I have never one had to clean my buddies diapers) so I can see Lazarus towards the end of his week venturing out of the wilderness and finding a small community, or maybe even being found by hunters from a small community. it would be interesting to see him caught in the middle of a conflict though, in Fallout New Vegas the Courier (main character) finds themselves caught in a war between the New California Republic and Caesar's Legion; I really like that kind of story where you get dealt a crappy hand and have to roll with it. I adore situations that can go sideways at any moment (part of the reason I do the job that I do) as it keeps you on your toes, when Hell can break loose at any moment you constantly feel that lightning flowing through your veins and it makes you feel so damn alive.

It would be interesting for this broken man to come out of the wilderness and find himself engulfed in a warzone, have a choice between getting involved and saving lives or ignoring it. The supplies he needs to keep Phoenix well are in the warzone, but going there will put her at risk. People are getting wounded and killed, he can save them, but doing so puts her at risk. Moral options get weighed as suddenly every choice is doing the right thing and possibly putting Phoenix in harm's way or staying out of it and keeping her safe; a very hard place to be. I love the story idea not so much for the physical side of it as much as the mental. Honestly, I will roll with any hand you deal me :P

hmm... I'm having to do some consideration; do I dare attempt to host more then one RP at a time, or roll with this one, and see what story unfolds. I had not intended players to take on the role of a Human for concern that their character's difference would drive a wedge between them and the other characters. With everyone as a Mutant Animal the character's would be in the same book but different pages so to speak. When a character is very different the story tends to become about that character. Like, 'My Favorite Martian'- it focuses on an alien hiding in human society. The Human hiding him is side lined by the audiances fascination with the Martian.

Edit: Such was the observation that had where in this RP Concept, Gamma World: Tech Tek Tecknical, players would have only been able to play as an Android.

ATTENTION ALL!

AN IDEA HAS APPEARED.

So, basically, what I was thinking is that a bunch of RP groups get together and attempt to create the best RP in the Multiverse. Basically, a game jam, except an RP Jam.

If you're interested, reply to this post or get with me in TG's.

Indeed.

Among the first things I thought about it was while interesting, the potential amount of players it can draw is more than twenty, which is rather big. I mean, I get the whole point is making it big, but by doing so, you risk several things happening:

  • It effectively becomes a clusterfuck and no one can find out what they're suppose to do. As large RPs tend to be easily derailed from the current main point if not supervised.... Unless you're going for a sandbox, open-world feel. Then derailment shouldn't be a problem.
  • Not everyone lives in the same time zone, so interactions or plot may be bogged down for about six to twelve hours. In that span of time, the above point's chances of occurring increases significantly. The time that passes does not take into account the personal lives of the RPers who chooses to participate.

So far, that is all my criticisms. Other than that, it is something that I would have interest in participating in, at the very least reading it since I'm still currently busy.

Well, any interest shows people think it might work.

The idea is that it's starting out as a brainstorm. Everyone thinks up what to do, and agrees on whatever. Then, we put it into action, as however we set it up as. A sandbox it will be, though.

Among the first things I thought about it was while interesting, the potential amount of players it can draw is more than twenty, which is rather big. I mean, I get the whole point is making it big, but by doing so, you risk several things happening:

  • It effectively becomes a clusterfuck and no one can find out what they're suppose to do. As large RPs tend to be easily derailed from the current main point if not supervised.... Unless you're going for a sandbox, open-world feel. Then derailment shouldn't be a problem.
  • Not everyone lives in the same time zone, so interactions or plot may be bogged down for about six to twelve hours. In that span of time, the above point's chances of occurring increases significantly. The time that passes does not take into account the personal lives of the RPers who chooses to participate.

So far, that is all my criticisms. Other than that, it is something that I would have interest in participating in, at the very least reading it since I'm still currently busy.

Well, any interest shows people think it might work.

The idea is that it's starting out as a brainstorm. Everyone thinks up what to do, and agrees on whatever. Then, we put it into action, as however we set it up as. A sandbox it will be, though.



Hmm, well in that case we need to start by finding a genre we can all agree on. Then, I guess we can begin thinking of world building and stuff.

I could be up for that idea. But I'm preoccupied with my Rep-Building RP. Meaning it's getting my name out as a RP creator and etc.

Adventure Awaits!! [Working Title] (RP Idea)

Postby Rynagria » Tue Jul 05, 2016 3:04 pm

Here is a collection of ideas for an RP. I would like to see if there would be any interest for something like this or a short review on it. I'm also open to ideas for some things, so feel free to suggest stuff if you want...... Yeah. I hope everyone is having a nice day.

Adventure Awaits!!
So I have an idea for an RP, in which player controlled characters are a class of people called Adventurers. As the name implies, they embark on adventures, such as defeating great monsters, delivering items across towns, fighting other adventurers, and other tasks. It is a job filled with prestige and rumors, often making all of them to be heroes. This could not be further than truth, as not all adventurers are equal in abilities and wealth. The thing is, all it takes to be inducted as an adventurer is determination, whether it do good or evil in the land.

Setting
Acraxia is a place of wonder, filled with beautiful lands. If one were to give examples of what they sort of look like, it would be from the pages/scenes of Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? (DanMachi), The Seven Deadly Sins, Konosuba, and Log Horizon. The land has just experienced a great war recently and is still recovering from it. At one of its weakest points, a newly raised Demon Army appears and threatens to overrun the world in darkness. All of the kingdom's leaders coming together, they assemble the greatest army Acraxia has ever seen and attacked the army. Only for it to be spectacularly defeated by a handful of strong monsters, sending them in a retreat. Fearing for their citizen or the destruction of their kingdom, they called upon the adventurers for their aid, pinning all hopes and dreams on them.

In response, some adventurers made guilds, while some remained solitary in their quest. It is up to them to stop the spread of darkness or will they fall apart before that happens?

Adventurers
When the various kingdom's militaries can't stop a threat, they call upon the thousands of adventurers on standby. A unique trait about them is the fact that anyone can become an adventurer, whether it be the poorest or being a born royalty who has been given everything they wanted in life. They can be of all races such as humans, Halflings, elves, orcs, werepeople, and others. They can be farmers, assassins, scholars, knights, wizard/witches, alchemists, archers, bakers, and more. They can be as young as ten years old or as old as two hundred years old. What makes them special is an ability that they possess, whether it be granted from birth or obtained somehow. Based on how useful and powerful they are, adventurers are ranked with the highest being Rank SSS and the lowest being Rank F.

Type of Adventurers
There are two types I'm talking about, not their job, age, but where they came from. On the majority side of things, Acraxia native adventurers, these adventurers came from the land. Pretty straight forward. On the other hand, the other type of adventurer is a Universal Travelers. These adventurers are those from certain period of time from our world who either died and are given another chance or were chosen by the gods to come there. Only few of the Universal Travelers start well off, but most start from nothing.

Technology
Technology is somewhat a mix. At most, the most prominent kind of technology would be found in the 11th century. But there also firearms in the form of muzzle-loading muskets or shotguns, which are slow to reload and difficult to use effectively. The most advance is when science and magic is used in conjunction, more examples of that later on.

Planned Application (Work in Progress):
Code: Select all
[b]Name:[/b]
[b]Type of Adventurer:[/b] (Universal Traveler or Acraxia Native)
[b]Appearance:[/b]
[b]Age:[/b] (10 min, 500 years old max)
[b]Gender:[/b]
[b]Job:[/b] (i.e. Farmer, Knight, etc.)
[b]Rank:[/b]
[b]Equipment:[/b]
[b]Abilities:[/b] (Magic Spells for those who use magic or special ability they have)
[b]Personality and Motives:[/b] (I want sentences explaining your character's personality and the motives of becoming an adventurer.)
[b]Biography:[/b] (At least two three sentence paragraphs.)
[b]Theme Song:[/b] (Something that's just cool to have for your character.)
[b]RP Sample:[/b]

This seems like a very fun idea. I'm interested in the Universal Traveler concept. I feel like there's a lot of room for expansion and backstory with them. For example, who are these gods that chose them and why did they choose them specifically?

Yup, that's why I brought them there.

Besides, I'm also curious of how they would evolve as characters. Some would probably be happy about being there, but the naivety would be crushed after they figure out that being in an RPG-esque fantasy world is not what they thought it would be. Some no doubt would be mad for being yanked into the world and might just become an adventurer to find a way to commit revenge against the gods that brought them there. So many ways they could change, but I'll probably have to limit on how many UT players there can be..... Probably.

I like that idea actually, I very nearly made something like that instead of my latest RP. If you want my help with worldbuilding for it, just ask, since I already had some ideas for a fantasy type world for an adventure RP.
Here lies a bad OP.

Now that I think about it, this idea reminds me a little of Fairy Tail. Anyway, so will there be a set goal or mission, or is it more open world/sandbox?
