Nee's Special Request

Okay, so aside from my main search thread, I also have a special request...
And oh, it's special.


⇨ Background Check
Story time! Wooooooo-
So, it used to be just me and my little brother. We loved to role-play with dolls, stuffed animals, and such.
But, my brother always made one big mistake when playing with me:
He'd only pick out one toy/doll/character to play with while I picked out more than one.
Because I basically controlled all of the characters besides his one,
I was the one to move the 'story' along and pretty much control everything that happened.
He was cool with it though, and I got a kick out of it
when he would get mad when I put him into a tight corner or something.
I also always got a kick out of how he would make his character
react to what my many characters would do to his, though he'd often get annoyed with it.
Sad part was, he never caught on and kept playing with only one character every time.
It was so much fun to play with him.
Then we grew up, got video games to supplement entertainment, and split apart over time.


⇨ What I Want
I really miss controlling everything and 'leading' my brother though an epic make-believe adventure that he would happily follow me on.
I miss it so much in fact that I'd even like to go so far as to try and recreate the whole experience.
Thus, I decided to try to create a role-play based on this idea.
But, I will need someone who's willing to control only one character while I control everyone and everything else,
as in in all other characters, the environment, and pretty much all main events.
And yes, your character can also shape the story and such by how he/she responds.


⇨ The General Idea
I very much see this as a RPG (role-playing game) with you playing as the 'main character'/'protagonist',
and me playing as everyone else or all of the 'minor' to 'minor-main characters'.
As you already know, the only thing you'll be able to control is your character, for I will control all other characters and the environment.
However, you can shape the story with your character too. You don't just have to react to the situations I put you in;
you can make your own situations too and force me and the minor characters to react to you.


⇨ The In-Depth Idea
As for how the actual role-play will be... I'll let you decide.
Would you like a modern setting? A fantasy setting? A post-apocalyptic setting?
What kind of character do you want to play?
Are there any specific characters you'd like me to play?
Do you want action, adventure, romance, drama, or something else?
We can discuss the actual role-play further in this thread or in a PM if you are interested.


⇨The Me and The You
I'd really like you to desribe your character well, posting as much as you can on him/her.
Not just in what he/she does with actions, but what he/she thinks and feels from time to time as well.
As for me? My posts will be more decisive and to the point,
full of content versus lots of description (how the character feels, thinks, etc...).
When it comes out in the end, our posts will probably be around the same size, though mine might be bigger at times.
Your posts will be full of description (feeling & thoughts) with a side helping of action (what your character does),
and mine more full of action (playing multiple characters and forcing the plot along) with a side helping of description.
Well, that's my theory anyway. We'll see if it actually evens itself out in the end. xD


⇨ How I Work
I am literate and I'd like you to be as well. I'm not a spelling/grammar nazi, though, and am really just focused on depth and content in a rp.
I'd like you to be active. A post every one or two days at least would be great, but as much as you can is what I'll take.
I only rp in private threads here on Mene. Sorry, it's the only way I can function. No PMs, email, IM, and all that stuff.
If you're interested, just post here in the thread or PM me and we can start the awesome brainstorming process~


⇨ Final Note
This is the first time I've ever done anything like this rp-wise.
It's like a fun experiment in my mind, and I can't wait to try it out.


UPDATE (as of 11/22/10)
I have a few of these types of role-plays going now and I must say, it is a highly interesting experience.
(In other words, I am loving every minute of them.)
So much as that I am now offering to reverse the role.
That's right. If YOU want to be in charge of ME and MY one measly character, just say so.
For I am willing to put aside my thirst for total control for the sole purpose of experiencing the 'other side'.
Because I must say: it looks quite interesting on the side I'm currently on. xD



UPDATE (as of 11/26/10)
Too many rps! Out of commission for a bit! xD

Well darn! Did I miss the chance to fulfill this request of yours? I really hope not! In all honesty, I LOVE when I get where I have no control over what'll happen. (Though, leading has its own fun and perks). I thrill in the surprise it brings, and in the level it forces the main character rper (in this case, myself) to really hone in on their character--pretty much becoming them in all senses. If you'd be willing to do this with me, I think you would have made my entire month, lol. (Is that sad?...yes, I think that's pretty sad).

I don't think I'll ever be able to get enough of this, honestly.
I'm actually surprised I got a few people interested at all. xD
Anyway, I'd love to take you on a magical journey (lolol).
Would you like to discuss the details here or in a PM?

Either or, really. Matters not to me.
I keep confusing this site with how I used to work on Gaia, where I'd make everyone PM me
because I had to bump my thread every five seconds to get people to notice it on the first page
and wouldn't see when people would post on the thread from bumping so much. xD
As you can see, here on Menewsha it is a little different. I have to remind myself of that sometimes. n__n;

Anyway, I suppose we could just chat it up here.
Are you craving anything specific? Like genre wise?
Adventure? Fantasy? Horror? Every-day-life?

Haha, yeah I feel ya on that. I love and hate that rule. But moving on...

<u>; heehee, I'm sort of a complete true-blue fantasy whore. Though, I kind of feel action/adventure and fantasy go hand-in-hand. Also, as far as fantasy goes I will say I'm not really into any of the vampire, were-wolf, angel, demon, etc. type of plot (if there are characters that happen to be one of those, like for example, how Balrog was a demon in LOTR but not the focus of the story). Magic schools/academies could be okay, but it'd take a lot to make it "original" enough I suppose.

Well, if you're into fantasy but want to skip over the contemporary fantasy of vampires vs. werewolves or angels vs. demons,
then we could always go back to the root of fantasy itself... medieval fantasy! xD
You know, like warriors and mages and magic and dragons and all that general action/adventure stuff.
Or, like you said, we could do a modern magic school setting. I actually haven't done many of those, so it'd be interesting to me to try.
But it's totally up to you. I feel like I should at least leave it up to you seeing as how I'm going to be controlling everything later. xD

Hmmm, perhaps a mix of both? I'd definitely be up for a medieval fantasy, and am unopposed to the idea that said world might have schools to teach and promote the studies of magics and related topics (maybe like dragon taming/riding). Perhaps a world with multiple kingdoms, each having a distinct feel...maybe a sort of specialty like being know for their potent magics, or skilled dragon riders, and such. I've also always found it fun to have somewhere/some territory that disapproves of magic altogether. Ooo..here's a concept I've never done before, what about a kingdom that's just over-saturated with magic to the point pretty much everyone has some level of it and it's become a bit over-rated to the citizens.

Also I love good, broad-scale conflict, buuuut I'd like to leave that to you/see how the story develops.

Do you mean broad-scale conflict as in, like, war between kingdoms?
'Cause I'm actually a fan of any sort of conflict myself, be it between kingdoms in a raging war
or between two opposing personality-clashing characters.

Lol, I like your concept of having an over-rated magic kingdom.
We could in fact have many kingdoms; as many as we wanted.

How about the general plot goes something like this:
A teenage boy/girl (your character) is in a happy magic kingdom that uses magic in every-day-life like it's no big thing.
In this kingdom, there is a magic school that teaches the young how to use their magic.
Your character goes to this school alongside other classmates and friends.
However, everything changes when the kingdom is under attack from another kingdom.
The kingdom that had attacked is strictly against magic, and has now decided to try and rid it from the world.
And that's where the adventure begins. Who knows what kingdoms your character will come across or what kinds of people he/she'll meet. ;3

Well, that kind of all just popped out of my head randomly.
Feel free to add, take out, change, or completely disregard it. xD

Yeah war is one form of it, though there are plenty of others. :]

As for you plot concept, that definitely sounds good. It's simple enough to allow for thicker development and room for it to go any manner of directions.

As for the school, I think that along with general magic, it'd be fun to have instruction on various mythical creatures like griffins, Phoenixes, and so on and some made-up creatures of our own. Also, I'd prefer the teaching style of the school be more mentor-like, as in an instructor lectures the class and helps each student individually but without the sort of pen and paper element to it (i.e. homework, quizzes, tests).

Only other thing I'd request is that magic not be 'wand-based'. I don't know, I've always found it rather dumb when a magic-user is rendered unable to do anything simply because they don't have something to channel it through.

But beyond that, I think it sounds great!

@Vivienne: Maaaan, that's a lot of fantasy! xD
Honeslty, you may need to help me out in the creative department.
I mean, I love fantasy, but I really suck at uber-fantasy.
I'm totally willing to go with and try it though.
So then would you want to just stick with the magic school for a bit
and establish how the student/teacher relationship is there before the war?
(I might actually kind of fail at that since I don't know a lot about teaching about
dragons and ogers and fantasy-ishs tuff. >_____> Like I said, I can try though.)
And we don't need wands, lol.

@Narcissus: Always. ;D Anything in particular come of interst to you?

ohh pff lol...yeah like I said, true-blue fantasy whore. I have no problems toning it down to something you feel more comfortable with. You are the one controlling it and I am very flexible. If it'd be better for you we don't have to have a school persay. Maybe the magic-users become apprentices to masters, like blacksmithing, apprentice to journeyman to master. And as for the mythical creatures, they can remain wild beasts or just be cut altogether. ;p I'm definitely not trying to push you outta your 'comfort zone'.

I've always kind of wanted to do a sci-fi RP, but I've never done one because I didn't think it could be immersive enough over forum RPing, so that really appeals to me. I think it would be cool to RP a character who's essentially an experiment in a lab of some sort, and you could RP the doctor(s)?

@Vivienne: Ah, good, lol. Your really are hard-core! xD
Honestly, I'm not sure what my 'comfort zone' is in regards to all this, lol.
I guess we'll just have to see where it all goes. xD
I may need help with the naming of things though... like the kingdoms and creatures if we have any.
I dunno. I kind of liked the magic school idea.
Like, your character could establish some friendships there and then BAM, kingdom under attack.
Well, in any case, it'll be fun to see where it all goes. xD
We could go ahead and start now, if you want?
All I'd really need to know up-front would be your character's name and gender,
so that I could establish the few 'pre-existing' relationships he/she might have.

@Narcissus: Oh, I'm very much liking where you're going with this.
I think I could pull off a sci-fi verse for you just fine~ (Sci-fi is one of my faves. xD)
How's this sound:
Your character has a special ability of some sort that the Galactic Federation
[/pulls random fancy sci-fi term out of her ass] is interested in.
So they kidnap you, imprison you, and do experiments on you.
It is there that you meet other experiments like you.
Can you bad together and escape and figure out your amazing power?
Or will you be doomed to be experimented on and die like a lab rat?
Sound good? Want to add more or take out something?

I am absolutely swept away by your idea. I was thinking the same thing about the abilities; maybe it's something like telekinesis, pyrokinesis, etc.?

How do you typically start with this kind of thing? Would you just start a thread, or would you want me to provide you with a character profile or something?

lol, never been called hard-core before xD but I guess it's true! (haha, sorry <u>; ) And yeah, the school would be fun indeed :] I'd certainly be happy to help with names, etc. as we need them--I'm pretty good with those anyway.

I'll be a female character (I probably should actually make a guy character one of these days, but ehh...> u > maybe next time) and her name will be Aerilyn Reed.

@Narcissus: Typically... well, since I've only done one of these-
and by 'done' I mean 'just started'- there isn't really a typical way to start.
I hardly know what I'm doing, lol. This is all like an experiment to me. n___n;
But yeah, I'll make a thread and make a first 'intro' post.
From what I've found so far in what little experience I have, the role-play pretty much builds on itself.
The trick is to just go with the flow and it'll all even out in the end~
So, on to making a thread. I'll post the link here in a min.
Oh, and you don't need a profile, but like with Vivienne, I will need to know a few base things.
All I need is your character's name and gender.
Also, you don't have to add this, but if you have a sexual preference for your character, that'd probably be good to note too.


@Vivienne: Oh, yes, you are indeed very hard-core~ But it's a good thing! You should be proud!
And I love your character's name! So cool. >w<
But okay then, I'll make us a thread then and we can begin. ;3 I'll post that too here in a min.
Oh, and do you want the kingdom to be named anything in particular? That's all I really need right now.
If not, I'll probably end up going to a random fantasy kingdom generator or something. xD
Oh, and do you have a sexual preference for your character in the rp? I just might cater to it a little, lol.
Also, aside from all this... you know Isaac Levis, right? Like, in real life?
'Cause that's just awesome. ;o

Lol :3 thank you! Um, as far as Kingdom name I don't have any immediate preferences but I'll throw out some ideas (none of which you have to choose, but hopefully it'll get the juices flowing): Ellesmere, Hydil, Peri, Barone, Zynea`Tu, Tubrnask, Dhryth, Yunere, Lune, Duneria, Suderane, Asmodeus, Lolith, Grumesh, Vec`Teal

Aerilyn's heterosexual, but might be the type to be easily flustered by women (especially older women).

Annd yes, I know Isaac...lol more than just know him really > u > He's my fiancé...

His name'll be Seven Viktre (Not necessarily because of the whole experiment thing, though it could be, too; I just like 'Seven' as a name for some reason), male, sexual preference would probably be male too.
