Introduction
Heeeeey everyone! You can call me Astra! Nice to meecha! Well, lately I've had absolutely no luck with group roleplays, because they always die rather quickly or never take off at all, however, I had a nice dream recently and I feel inspired to do something with it... So has come this roleplay.... I don't want to post it however if no one's interested at all though.... So the million dollar question is if anyone would join?
If you guys think it'll work I'll turn the plot into an RP....
Story
Everyone has a wish.... And it would be truly wonderful if all wishes could be brought into fruition.... But alas, many people have worked hard to achieve nothing, and many people more have achieved that something and lost everything in turn... And yet, despite the futility of it, people always keep a wish in their hearts.
Perhaps that's why the shop just one day appeared- perhaps it was just the mystery surrounding wishes given a tangible form. Because not everyone can see it- only those with a desperate wish in their hearts can- those willing to risk it all for the sake of their wish.
The owner doesn't have a name, he's simply known as the Mad Hatter- because you'd have to be quite mad indeed to barter with him at all.....
"But..." He'll flash a devilish smirk at you,
"I can make your wish come true.... For a price, that is...."
You see, for him to help you with your wish, you must give up something of equal value to him; in return, he will give you a pocketwatch. Now that might sound silly, but that pocketwatch does amazing things... It allows the user to transform into something entirely new with incredible powers.... Those powers different for every person, because the watch only gives you the means to obtain your wish, for the Hatter knows if you don't obtain the wish on your own, you don't ever truly obtain it at all.
Thus the pocketwatch could make you fly, it could let you turn invisible... The possibilities are limitless...... But there
are some rules that come with the game- and the hatter will tell you not to break them....
"Though I certainly won't complain if you do..."
1. You cannot tell anyone about the pocketwatch and the unique abilities it gives you.
2. The pocketwatch does not tell time, rather it tells how long- specifically how long you have to complete your wish. You must complete your wish within this time or you'll lose your chance.
3. Corresponding with rule number 1, do NOT use your powers for any means other than completing your wish. The more you do so- even if for good reason- the more time you lose to complete your wish.
4. Should you complete your wish in the scheduled time, you must return the watch to the shop and give up your powers- in return, you will receive what it was that you gave up for the watch in the first place.
5.
"I have a 'no return' policy... Once you start the game, you have to play until you win.... or lose.... Heh heh...."
If you fail to follow any one of these rules, you will not only lose your 'watch' abilities, but the Hatter gets to keep your payment. In other words, you'll lose forever whatever treasure you gave up for the sake of your wish.
So what is your wish? To find love? To kill someone? Perhaps something deeper? Would you risk everything to get it?
Do you have what it takes to obtain your wish?
Extra Details
It's already obvious that this roleplay concept is a creative spin off of Alice in Wonderland- and I mentioned in the RP that people gain the ability to 'transform' into a new person. So I figure someone will have the abilty to trasnform into Alice, and someone else the Cheshire Cat, etc. for the different characters from the wonderland series depending on their wish and the abilities they need.
So it's
almost like a magical girl story.... But not quite because guys can transform too....
What do you think?
The Wishes
If you have any ideas of your own that would fit in, please say them, as I'm always open to ideas. ^^
You have to keep in mind that none of the characters can tell the others who they are, and so they don't know that another person has a wish power.....
Alice Alice's wish is to make her love love her back.... I.E the Cheshire Cat.
The Cheshire Cat The Cheshire Cat's wish is to never fall in love again, for personal reasons of his own.
The White Rabbit The Rabbit has a crush on Alice, and seeks to make her love him in return.
The Queen of Hearts The queen wishes to kill the Cheshire Cat... Perhaps over an affair of the heart that went wrong....
The Mouse The Mouse is dying from a terrible sickness, but he has accepted his fate for personal reasons. Yet people keep giving him treatments and trying to save him. His wish is to push everyone away so he can die in peace.
The Caterpillar The Caterpillar has a loved one- the Mouse- who's very sick; he(or she) is dying. His wish is to save this person no matter what the cost.
The Duchess The Duchess is angry at The King for personal reasons. She seeks to ruin him, destroying his wish by making him fall in love with her so that she can crush him.
The King of Hearts The King lost a loved one, and never was quite able to live it down. His wish is to seal off his emotions permenantly, so that he will no longer feel the pain.
The Knave of Hearts The Knave had to watch his closest friend- the King- bottle himself up over his loss; his wish is to force his friend to feel his pain and grieve, so that he can recover and move on with his life.
Tweedledee And Tweedledum Tweedledee's wish is to be recognized as a separate identity from his twin, but Tweedledum's wish is to be with his twin forever.... However, they share the same watch... Perhaps their wishes are not so different....
{Thanks ox3tyi}
The Red Queen The Red Queen has been the White Queen's friend for a long while, but since the 'traumatic incident' her friend just hasn't been the same. She wants the White Queen to remember who she is, along with remembering their friendship.
The White Queen The White Queen went through some trauma, and no longer remembers a great deal of her life- save the past couple of years. However, for fear of the pain the memories will bring, she does not want to remember at all.
The Gryphon The Gryphon has led a hard life that's left him cold and cruel. His wish is simply that no one else's wish will come true, he wants to destroy the worlds of those who destroyed his.
The March Hare The March Hare's simple wish is to make all others come true. He has lived with everything he could desire all his life, but giving others what they desire is something he has never yet achieved.
The Hatter Since this character is kinda important to the plot, I'd insist on playing him myself..... Even he has a wish. And to get that wish, his payment was that he had to give other people the chance to earn their wishes too.
I imagine I could add more characters.... But I'm not sure how many people will join, nor am I a hundred percent sure on everyone's wishes. ^^; So 15 seems plenty... I may even have to decrease that number o-o
