Title: A Big Ol' RP (In need of members!)
Post by: Silvertide on October 12, 2012, 12:10:39 am
So I was thinking and I came up with this idea. There are never any solid RPs out there, ones that you can count on. You want a literate, long-term and active RP! Well what if a bunch of people banded together to make an RP like that, specifically a fantasy RP. If you saw my past poll, there was a small vote on your preffered RP, and Wolf pack came in 1st place, while a Fantasy RP came in 2nd. Why would I pick second place instead? Well because there can be so much more variety with a fantasy RP! Sounds fun to me! I think making a type of RP that people actually want to join is a good idea. So anyways, the question is, who wants to do it? I'm asking now if, at first you actually think this could work, second want to join in, and third actually want to help make it possible, if you want to. This may seem childish to some, but I honestly just think that if a bunch of heads are put together a genuinely nice RP could be formed. So, who wants in?

10/21/12

Okay so I see there are at least two people who volunteered, but I just want to clear something up. If you just want to join the RP in general make that clear, but if you want to be a helper, which when I say helper I mean creator, make that clear as well, otherwise this'll never happen!
Thank you for all those who offered their help! I'm sincerely greatful and this is more than I had hoped for.

10/25/12

Alright! So I got helpers and a few members! Yeee! There could possibly be one more helper, and also new members are welcome!

10/27/12

Okay, so I think we have enough helpers for now, but if you wanted to help out and are seeing this now, don't worry about it! We may need more helpers, but currently we don't, so until then you can just join in as a member.~
Also, a big thanks to all of you who have decided to help make this RP possible...You should have seen my face when the first person in twelve days had offred to be a helper. I squeed and bounced around on my seat before calming down for a second. I had the same reaction each time someone else wanted to be a helper, or a member. Really, I was beginning to loose hope. So if it wasn't for you all, I might have given up on starting this Fantasy RP. So once more, thank you so very much.

The formation of good roleplays aren't nearly as rare as the rarity of users willing to stick to the roleplays themselves.

With enough backing though and dedicated people on your end I feel this would be good. Am willing to help with minor things if needed.

I think this can actually work if people stuck to it.
-blatent roleplay group advertisment here-
I actually recently made a rp and what I want to do is have everyone involved in the plot making. I made a side website for it where there's a specific thread for my members to put in plot ideas. There are some hidden suprise plots but personally I want everyone to get involved and join in. It's actually a relativly realistic to fantasy like fox rp. (I'm mixing it up with some fantasy because I had a sudden idea for something) and there's special foxes called "Gifted"s who have elemental and spiritual abilities. It would be nice to have more members. There's 2 co-admins and 1 forum co-admin. I also made a beautiful map pack (5 maps in total) and I also make presets. (Cuz I love making presets)
I mean, it would be awesome if more peope came on. This is something I don't want to let die because I put a lot of time and effort into it.
Why not check it out and help out? It's called "The Oracle of Ralishul Grove" If you want a link for easy finding, I can put one up.
Other than that, if you don't want to join, I'd like to see what you come up with. ;3 Good luck

Sorry for the lateish reply! Anyways, I was thinking all animal, but I don't think having a mouse or ant character would do much good for you. You know what I mean. But really, it would take a lot of ideas and planning to get the exact type of fantasy RP it would be, though it wouldn't just be: dragon, powers, have fun. There would actually be plots and a main plot of course.
I had a dream though yesterday and it was pretty intense. I'v actually been contemplating whether or not to offer it as an idea for the RP because let me tell you, it was freaken amazing. XD I can't really explain it but it involved a hugeeee unbeatable creature/monster thing, bridges, mountains, rivers, fields, and death(sadly :'D). This may be rather vague and it may sound uninteresting, but that's only because I can't very well expalin a dream that well, espcially one as crazy as that one.
But yes, thankyou CloudFish and thankyou everyone else who will help, or thinks this would work.

I've actually made a fantasy RP with a main plot to go by along with smaller plots members can make of their own.

Land of Lynthia (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=25678.0\)

There's a link if you just want to scan through it, and if you do you can see how much work I had put into it. You know how long it took to make? About three-five days I think, maybe more and mostly on nights when I had the free time which back then wasn't much on the computer because I had to share it with family members. And even before that it took a couple of weeks of planning and plot ideas, along with knowing if anyone would actually join. I had a lot of people say they were interested and say they might join, but in the end it's only me and maybe one or two other people, and it's closely dying xP I actually had my own thread made that was similar to this one, except it was mainly based on RP and why people never stuck around.

A summery of the RP if you don't want to read through the text is that it's based on a region called Lynthia, and set in medieval times though is a bit lenient on what could be in it. You have the option of being either human or animal, and animals (specially smart and educated ones) are able to communicate with other species through the common language (technically English) while being able to speak in their own animal tongues. However, there was a limit on how many animal characters there could be, I didn't want to make it an all animal RP haha. But you could also be dwarfs, elves, and other things. Dragons, gryphons, unicorns, etc you couldn't be, however, because they were special creatures that make few appearances, but characters were allowed to be halfbreeds or something like that. They were also able to posses special abilities, a trait that wasn't uncommon in Lynthia but not everyone has them. However, the special abilities had to be unique and clever. For instance a character couldn't control fire or lightning just because, they'd have to do something to make it more original. You could check the character's forms in the link for some examples, they have their own section so you don't have to read the entire forms to find them.
The RP itself had a main plot to follow, but it's main goal was to expand and grow as it's own land and story with the help of ALL members, to involve their characters as much as possible and not just rely on the host/hostess (which would be me in this case). Other plots could be made and characters could be connected, I didn't want everyone to feel limited in what they could do and be creative.

After so much work and thought that was placed in the RP, I hate to see it dying off xP I'm not going to let it, though, and if it doesn't improve I'm just going to remake it. I'm willing to help out, perhaps, if this was something you were talking about? Perhaps with more people working on something like this it'd have a better chance of receiving dedicated members.

I would join.

I've made a few long term RPs on FH- one being one of the best RPs I've ever been in, Fh, forum or otherwise. I can help with ideas, plots and characters. I like to play as either an antagonist or some character that has some kind of control over others (Eg. Beta in a pack). I'm usually online quite alot- but at the moment, my internet is a little restrained as I've had to use a pre-paid dongle until I get wireless set up in my house. I can still USE FH, but i get slot of 'lost connections', lag and things like that.

If you need any presets or maps, I'll help you- since I'm an expert in both. Roughly.

I would totally help yous!~ I would love to join, but what sort of RP would this be? Elemental wolves/cats? Dragons? Goats (LOL xD)? What?

I would help with presets, but I warn you.. I am pretty terrible at making Feline presets (I am getting better and better!). I make wonderful Canines, and so many people love my presets for some reason.. I guess they just like them xD.

ANYHOO I can help with uhm, rules, I usually am one to enforce them (Yes.. I am that person) But uhm.. Yes I'll help :)

Oh my gosh thank you so much! And answering your question, it is basicly all species, except all the species can mix and stuff so there'll be hybrids. There will be a "gift" that each creature will recieve at year one whether it be a magic power, or stength, speed, agility, etc. All the ideas still haven't been thought of yet though, because it's a group thing so everyone would get a say in the RP plot and things like that if they help.

Okay, so... Hmm... Here are some Element ideas

Eyes: All would have glow eyes or full orb eyes.
Colorings: *see below*

Year one:

You would be tested, to see your abilities.

Elements:

Water: Members that were agile and fast would get the gift of Water
   Ability: If near any water, you could control it, and direct it for a short period of time.
      Personality: Normally they are wise beings, being ones that make good decisions.
          Coloring: Usually a blue color.

Flares: Members that relied on their size and strength would get Fire
   Ability: You would use the heat of the day to create a fire, for a short time
      Personality: Most of this rank are fiery and defiant. Sometimes they are pushy and even grouchy.
          Coloring: They can be red, orange.. Really any color they reminds you of fire.

Life: Ones that choose not to fight, but to heal would get the power of Life
   Ability: Healing in the clan/pack/tribe. You would become more skilled with herbal remedies and other things. You can connect to the ancestors.
      Personality: Kind beings. They always search for the good side of things.
          Coloring: These beings are usually a greenish color.

Flight: Members that relied on their ability to jump, and spring would receive the gift of Flight
   Ability: The power to fly, you would gain wings, This one can always be used, there is no limit.
       Personality: Most are jokers, and they are beings that you can always rely on to brighten your day. They are great friends.
           Coloring: They are always light colored, they can be light blue or white.

And that is all I've got at the moment ^.^

Mind-reader: Members that were born with an element *RARE RANK*
   Ability: You can be any one of the elements, and gain the power to read minds. *RARE RANK*
       Personality: They are often Shy and reclusive, some of the Clan/Tribe/Pack look down upon them because they were born with a power.
            Coloring: They usually have purple pelts, or black/gray pelt with purple markings.

Death-bringers: Often they are exiled, these animals are not welcome.
   Ability: They are often bringer of death, some can kill anything by looking at it; others use a power to destroy, rather than protect, they can even sometimes shape-shift into someone or something.
      Personality: They are evil, power-thirsty beings, ones that will stop at nothing to gain control. They are often exiles.. It is only a matter of time before one makes a new pack...
          Coloring: Depending of a power they might have, their pelts are always a deep shade of color; if they had a power of fire, their pelt would be a burgundy red.


Year two:

You would be granted a stronger power, well not really. All powers would gain something more, there are USUALLY two options.

New powers:

Fire: More powerful, or you can use it for a longer time.

Water: More powerful, or you can create larger waves, or you can use it for a longer amount of time.

Life: Greater connection with the Ancestors, or the ability to see the future, or you can gain the ability to bring things to life *RARE ABILITY*

Flight: You may gain the ability to use the wind and direct it to your foes, or you can make the clouds create types of weather for a short time.

Mind-reader: They can read minds and emotions, of really anything, prey, others...

Death-bringers: *They're powers don't change*

And that's all I got at the moment! ^.^

You can count me in. for a long time I have been waiting for someone to step out and make a bold move. being to stubborn to do it my self, and my life getting in the way. As a long term RPer and Short story/freelance novelist, i could be of some help, as well as an addition to some place in the story. You can count on my continuing support.

EDIT:
 I have two characters one I would see as an Air type and another as a death bringer. I can do both give or take what you decide for me.

A job? :o What is it?

 Welp, you said you could help with presets, right? Well since this is a fantasy RP maybe some sort of special preset will be needed for a character, not sure. I haven't really checked if there were downloadable dragon presets. But also, can you make dragon markings, or is that too hard because I know nothing about markings. XD It's just that if a lot of people want to be dragons I wouldn't want you to make a new preset for everyone...Unless you make a dragon preset without color and markings and add them for each different dragon. o.O Okay...this message is really confusing, but I think the main question is would you do it? :D

On this note I have been looking not only fora preset maker, but it may be an addition. I have long sence held the idea of "Bio-mechanical" wolves and or lions. And I have some Ideas for them, you can PM me if you would like to hear more in detail of what I had in mind

 Okay, this is sort of like an announcement. First of all, if any members or helpers haven't signed up onto the forum yet, (unless you simply can't) do it soon so it will be easier to keep track of everyone. Second, if any of the helpers want to help with website editing, please tell me. And last but not least, let's talk about the map. I can make it, of course, but if anyone else wants to do it and is confident in their map-making abilities, please feel free to ask about it! That is all, thankies~
