I was browsing through the forums when I saw some people discussing how the usual hunt eat sleep survive kind of roleplay's are boring. So I thought to myself, I'll make a roleplay that doesn't revolve around that! And so, I have thought and thought and planned, and I have an idea in mind. Genetically mutated dogs, created to fight some invading force or something. What they are fighting against hasn't been planned out too thoroughly yet. It's not a completed idea just yet. But it'll be more about battles than surviving the wilderness, based in a city. I hope to keep it a small group of course, I don't think there would be too big of a group fighting to save the world XD
So, you may be wondering why I am asking for co founders? Well, simple really. My In game Roleplay's never get very far. So people who are willing to work hard in helping it become a reality are needed. Knowing that there are people interested before the Roleplay actually starts would be good as well. I also need some people to help bounce ideas off of. To help me plan things out, give opinions and feedback.
I'll probably only ask for two or three co founders of course, I don't want too many, and one would be too few XD I won't accept just anyone for co founder position as well, I need to know you are trustworthy, and that you are good with these things, not just someone coming along and saying yes to everything or whatever XD Also, please note there will be no big cats involved. the humans want creatures they can control and know are loyal to their master. Meaning big cats are out of the picture And domestic cats are not a very idea for fighting big baddies XD
-
Hmmm... I need to get more attention here. Well, might as well include more information on what this RP will hopefully be about. Remember, I'm still looking for people to help me run it and get it working! This isn't the proper thread, that isn't up yet, but an advertisement for co founders!
SPECIES
The species for This role play is a genetically mutated dog. they tend to come in natural colours, with any coloured eyes. They can either have natural markings or unnatural markings, which can either be natural or unnatural in colouration. If you are going to create a character, the darkest I will allow for the pelt if you are going black, is 10,10,10. Anything under that just looks weird and wrong. 10,10,10 allows for you to still see the fur markings while still being dark in colour. They are large creatures, so try and boost their height up. They also have horns, which I will find a good item pack for that will be necessary for people to download, else they will not see the horns and will not have the horns. More will be discussed with the co founders, who will be able to help add touches to the species for this roleplay. this species will NOT be allowed to have wings.
LOCATION
The Roleplay will take place within a unnamed city (willing to take name suggestions though!) that is being attacked by a strange force. The main base for the characters will be the place where the species is created and held until they are needed, and the city will be cut into small parts so that people don't get too laggy in the map, which will have skyscrapers and such. there will also be more suburban areas and everything, I hope to make the place big. At first it will start out small, and I will add sections to the city over time as I work on the different parts.
PLOT
This roleplay is a battle to save the world kind of roleplay. Creatures are coming from somewhere, unknown at this point in time, and are trying to destroy everything. Humans were unable to fight these creatures. they needed a different type of weapon. The species in the roleplay was created by humans, a genetic mix of creatures, predominately dog, designed to battle these creatures. They know wonder an evacuated city, battling the creatures, stopping them from leaving the city, for now. No one knows why the creatures are unable to spawn outside of the city, perhaps this strange condition will change in the future?
OTHER INFO
I hope to have this be somewhat organised at least. there won't be specific ties to join the roleplay to actually roleplay, what will happen is simple. You can go into the map at any time, and roleplay whenever you want. You can battle lesser creatures on your own or with others, patrol the city, explore, whatever. But on occasion a large stronger one will arrive, a time will be set for it's arrival, and a huge battle roleplay will take place. People will come at this set time to battle this larger creature, which will take a while to defeat, and need a lot of cooperation to take down.
So, if you want to help me run this roleplay, just apply here!
-
Am interested in helping in a way, haven't ever really participated in a city-esque roleplay that lasted. Also know how hard it is to get things going without people behind you. Am not sure what you're wanting in the application for co-founder process, but can assure generally stick towards projects I get on board with.
-
Well, I don't really want much in the way of applications for this position XD I just need to know you're trustworthy (I'm not going to give this position to someone I know is no good in game, just joined, or is no good in forum of course XD)
I just need good people I can get along with, who can put forward some good ideas, help out where it's needed. All my previous attempts at starting role-plays have failed, and this time I am really going to put a lot of effort into it. this is a roleplay I haven't just thought up in a couple of seconds, it is something that a lot of effort will be put into. Which is why I need some co founders, people who've done all this before. Even if it is just being in another in game RP before.
-
Am in for it if you'll have me then
Usually the better preparation the better, took us two months to get our roleplay full ready, so can understand where you're coming from
-
I'll happily have you if you really do wish to help out XD
And yeah, I think those were my faults the last times I have tried to put RP's up. I do intend to try and put thought into them, but then I get impatient and put them up before I probably should, and just end up stuffing things up. This time this Rp, before I even mentioned it here on the forum, has had quite a bit of thought put into it.
-
Sure thing; just tell me what I'd need to do.
-
Well at the moment, I want to figure out more details for the species. they need to have things that differentiate them from normal dogs other than the increased size and horns, or they might as well have just used real dogs to fight the enemy. I'm thinking boosted strength of course, but there should probably be more to the species. Also more guidelines for when people get to create the character. Differences between males and females I think, or perhaps just one gender... I'm thinking the creatures would be genetically sterilized as well, the people who created them would want to control the numbers.
*Edit
Also, embarrassingly enough, up until yesterday I thought you were a girl, when I saw the boy thing on your info >.> I am so stupid XD
-
Suppose you could use some of the customization features in character creator. Like with the different shaped ears? Maybe one gender could have one, the other a different shape. Don't think you'd want to limit markings too much, so you can't really work much with that, unless you'd like to set colour boundaries for each gender. One allowed darker markings than the pelt, the others lighter.
Friendship over dood.
-
:'0 I'm sorreh!
And yeah, the ears would be a good idea. As stated in my second post, I already have some limitations put in place, the base colours must be natural, and there can be unnatural coloured markings, and I'm also thinking of finding a good item pack with horns, but I am having a lot of second thoughts about the horns thing, as the issue with different placing can be a real issue :/ Perhaps size can be another factor between males and females, that's pretty normal in most species.
-
I think the item problem could be handled if you had a custom cfg. that could be mandatory to members. Have the horns and other roleplay-related items placed at the top so there's no confusion amongst the group.
-
I could help, but I'd only be on during the day because my schedule is full at night.
Heheh, This is a brilliant idea Kyugma, but what are the 'alien creatures'? Are they some sort of felines? I'm asking this in case anyone would want to join and roleplay as the creature. You nevar know~ XDD
-
That's true, and it it shouldn't really hassle members too much hopefully...
There is also the issue of what the enemy actually is. I have no clue about that. I was thinking like invading creatures from some other dimension or something along those lines, but what would they look like?
PFFFT I was ninja'd!
And yeah, I was thinking feline's, but I don't want any one actually playing them unless it is one of the big battles, with which I'll probably try and see if anyone would like to volunteer in making one and playing the creature, only for that big battle. Perhaps I could make the enemy species playable at some point later on, but I really want it to concentrate around the dog mutants.
-
I have a few suggestions for what the Alien creatures might look like:
Feline
Dragon Ears
Thick Tail
Neon Coloured Tiger Stripe (Body)
Neon Coloured Eye Stripe (Head)
Neon Coloured Snow Leapord (Tail)
Crimson, Azure, or Forest(Eyes)
Now, going back to the mutated dogs, I have a few suggestions for them, for they're powers and stuff, considering that there would probaly be a variety of powers because the humans don't want all of them doing the same thing.
Lazer eyes- Mainly for an attack that coudly possibly burn the aliens.
Super Strength- For inflicting great damage on enemy, though dogs with this power can't withstand much.
Armored Body.-Basically, the dog can withstand most attacks or a variety of attacks for awhile, while inflicting little damage on the enemy
Invisability- It would come in handy when you need to use Ninja skills.
Teleportation.- When you need to teleport to the enemy! BDD It'll confuse em' too owo.
Super Speed- Useful against an enemy that's faster than the other dogs.
Telepathy- Read the enemies mind, find out where they're attacking next BDDD
Super Sense- So you can see, hear, touch, smell, and taste the aliens before anyone else. (Taste...? O.O)
I hope these come of use` XP
-
umm.....
Laser eyes would be... Way too much, as would teleporting and telepathy and all that. I was thinking more along the lines of poisonous fangs, or the ability to regenerate lost limbs and such, things would would more than likely find in nature, and aren't too... sci fi?
-
As for the enemy, don't think it'd be a good idea to have people play the roles right away. Like said, it would take away from the core-idea, which is the dogs.
For their design itself; I think it'd be better if they were represented more by an idea of some sort than a feline model. Kinda restrains. Besides, an invading force would come in with more than one type of warrior/scout. Though, depending on if you want to do an "alternate dimension" or "aliens"; it would change up the type of creature they are up against.
-
@Kyugima should of been thinking about that OWO
But, these were man-made, so it sort of make sense...No it doesn't BDDD.
Well, at least I've suplied you with some good ideas for powers ^-^
-
Yeah, I was mostly thinking that if anyone played them, they would just use a feline body to show they are different than the dogs, and just be named invader or something, only so we have someone playing as the big baddy when we have the larger battles in the roleplay. It would be easier to have a longer more drawn out battle if the bad guy was played by an actual person.
Also, I need some help figuring out what to do for the main base map, the place where the dogs are kept. I have a lot of meshes, more meshes than really necessary, I just might need some help planning out where things go on the map. What do you guys think should be added in the main area. There will be dog runs, dog kennels, probably a main building that can not be entered, a graveyard for the animals that have passed on perhaps...
I know, I know, I keep jumping from thing to thing, I should probably concentrate on one aspect before moving on to the next >.>
-
Pshh did i miss out on this D:?
-
Nah, not yet XD But you'll be the last to be allowed to help out, this way I know things are organised and I know where ideas are coming from and I don't have randoms jumping in and giving ideas and such XD Just makes it easier to figure out where things are going XD
-
Ah, id absolutely love to help out, with anything you'd like ^^
-
Well, at the moment I'm trying the think of a couple of different things.
One: The mutated dog guide for people who create them
two: What are the invaders that they are fighting (It has already been settled that they will not be playable or be set as feline or canine specifically)
three: I need help figuring out what the first part of the map will be like XD
-
Hm, seems like some creative work, im going to think about some fitting suggestions, and ill talk to you and the others about them later.
-
Could I help? I have some suggestions and stuff that would help. Plus I could make people presets!
-
question for the dogs; will these be limited to any certain breed? primarily set with one breed or a few in mind, or is it a free-for-all on this? Believe based on what breeds are used could also determine the mutations they'd need. some dogs are built for speed, other brawn, however a dog bred for speed wouldn't need a mutation in its genes on speeding it up primarily. if that makes sense.
as for the invaders, think this will stem more around what kind of plot you're wanting. if you're going for aliens, their designs could be various, and you could have different monsters in a tier sort of; (like you'd find in a video game, this monster here's weak, but this one above it's a bit bigger and harder to kill off).
however an alternate dimension could prove to less varied but still interesting. think of an alternate dimension or timeline where instead of fighting to protect the world/city these dogs are, they've been even further mutated to come destroy it.
sorry for lack of input on this, been somewhat busy back and forth.
-
Hmmm... When you put it 5that way, I actually very much like the idea of the aliens, with varying difficulties.
I was thinking that the dogs would be of various breeds, although, small breeds and such, breeds that would be no good in a fight would not be very useful in this case. So they wouldn't be used to fight the invaders XD
-
think if decided on a basic "trait" for the aliens, could draw up some various outlines of possibilities? for instance, they're water-based, all can fly, all have bug antennas of some sort, or something along those lines. just something to go off of.
i had figured as much it would stick to larger breeds, but i see now you have little sets on restrictions thus far. i think a general mutation for all of them could possible, one to boost strength, speed, stamina, etc. make the dogs slightly larger than their original breeds, perhaps a few differences to their jaw structures. am just throwing things out.
-
I was thinking they would be insect like in appearance, multiple limbs, exoskeleton, large mandibles. They would be fairly large, and very varied, like insects in real life. Drones, A queen, hunters, gatherer's, things like that. Insects are some of the most varied and numerous creatures, it makes sense that they could possibly rule a planet and start taking over XD
Yeah, I was thinking the dogs would be very large, they would need to be in order to fight the aliens, which would be pretty big in my opinion (perhaps that size from some genetic material from a bear or a big cat XD)
-
more bug like? or would it be okay to mesh types? was considering given humanoid type builds, various sizes, but with attributes of different bugs. this could be one of the lowest of the tier, was just an example i suppose. looked different when i sketched it out, but decided the more based head would make them easier to imagine than with the tiny insect body i had in mind beforehand

-
That looks good actually, a good concept for a basic drown, wings to get around, not too big or strong looking XD
-
if okay with that, will continue some other basic sketches of other levels as day goes on, have to finish other things regarding own roleplay.
any specific classes matched with certain bug types in mind?
-
Scorpions would be a good ambush type I think...
