Idea for a Master/Slave Roleplay.. [ not exactly same-old, same-old. :0 ]

Usually, roleplays centering around master/slave relationships dissolve relatively quickly into a mess of one-on-ones within the same thread (usually with a bunch of nekkidness or whatever involved; we won't go there for now). I've always found them to be rather boring for this reason.

I recall having seen a roleplay a year or two ago in this very forum that was a little different, however. The slave characters each had to wear collars with charms on them, each charm indicating that particular slave's purpose. The idea didn't branch out much and the roleplay disintegrated anyway, but the idea is still an interesting one in my opinion.

What if I were to start a roleplay set in a society in which slaves were considered a status symbol? In which slaves were used for much more than glorified s** toys? What if they were everything from pets to body-guards to companions to outright warriors?

These slaves, however, would not just be random species. Neither would the masters.

The slave population would be made up of human-like beings that can shape-shift into real animals (no dragons or unicorns or fox-demons). And the masters? They would be human-like as well, but much stronger and somewhat taller than the average adult male homo sapiens.

How would each master come to acquire his or her slave? One would be chosen for him/her. The process would involve careful examination of his or her personality, strengths and weaknesses, and character.

...So what do you guys think? Suggestions? :0

I think it is a pretty interesting idea. I agree with you, most masterXslave roleplays bore me because they always turn into one on one. This however, is really cool. Would they also have jobs such as cooking, cleaning, driving, and etc? If so that would be interesting. I think it would work as well because if you think about it many animals have enhanced senses that would make the job perfect for them. I think it's a wonderful idea! Maybe you could make a rule that a person can only roleplay up to two characters (a master and a slave) but I'm very interested.

I don't see why they couldn't have jobs. :0 It could certainly add some interest.

I'm still trying to determine how I would go about matching slaves and masters, though. Any thoughts?

Is there a quiz or something nonlinear that can match personalities? That would be of great help.... or you could always put in the character skeleton "my perfect match would be" or something to that effect?

Perhaps. My first thought was that there would be a sort of side character that each potential Master and Mistress could visit in order to acquire a slave. It would get complicated if the roleplay ever panned out, however.

I suppose there's nothing stopping me from putting a limit on the number of people who can join or the number of characters allowed, however. xD

I think a side character would be best in figuring out who goes with who now that you say that. It would be interesting to say the least.

I think that since you would be making the thread that entitles you to be god, thus giving you the power to pick and choose who can and cannot be in the roleplaying lol (:

Agreed. x3 That is likely how I will handle it, then.

What about settings? What time period do you think it should be? Modern? Medieval?

Modern would be slightly hard since most people think that "oh well it's modern, slavery=no no." but I would go futuristic. You mentioned the people being more powerful/bigger than normal humans and cool technology is always fun... but older times like midevil are fun to try and figure out how things would work and what not. Totally misspelled a few things I think.

Would you be open to the idea of an overarching plot that involves all of the characters working together to solve a problem while exploring the backgrounds and personal details of the characters in side stories?

For example.. let's say that there are three pairings, 6 characters total, and Master/Mistress of pairing 1 is in debt and goes to Master/Mistress 2 for help and they decide that Master/Mistress 1 will have to do an odd job for them first and somehow Master/Mistress 3 finds out about this and it's not quite legal so Master/Mistress 1 & 2 have to convince Master/Mistress 3 not to turn them in to the law. But! Master/Mistress 2's slave thinks that it ought to be reported and shenanigans happen!

I like this idea, count me in. I like the futuristic idea myself, as most rps I've been in (in the past) have been set in medieval times. Personally, I don't think the modern idea would fly because of the "slavery is bad" thoughts on most people's parts. Scribbled lore, I like your idea, but if we did that, then we'd have to get specific people to play specific parts (as most people wouldn't follow along with something like that) and we'd need people who weren't in on the "main story" as well, so that it's more fun. I'm not saying that it couldn't be done, I'm just saying that it'd have to be done a certain way. (although, since there are now 4 people posting on this thread, and we'd need 4 characters to play specific parts, it wouldn't be all that hard)

OMG can I join! I want to be a pitbull-man slave. Born to be a bodygaurd and defensive in nature, how will slaves start out?

sorry, but I think this thread is dead. if you want, lucienslade, we could do a one on one slave and master rp.
