fantasy anyone? // plotting

hey, i'm silver! i'm looking for some people that would be willing to do some kind of fantasy rp with me. i'm really in the mood for something medieval like the lord of the rings or just d&d inspired stuff. i'm not really planning on any really in-depth plot with twists and stuff, (i don't really have too much time for heavy plotting) i'd really just like some adventure for our characters to go on that involves fantasy creatures and races, magic, and so on. obviously we're on the advanced board, so if you're willing to create a little role-play with me, please be literate and willing to put in the effort for several paragraphs! again, i'm not looking for any pafp or romance here, just a small group (2-5 other people) that would be willing to do some roleplaying.

hello you two! thank you for your interest! i didn't really have any big plots, just the general idea of a small group going on some sort of quest? they could be stuck together in some bad situation or hired as mercenaries to perform some task (assassination, dragon slaying, treasure fetching?). i'm thinking there could be some war going on between two groups, like two kingdoms or races so our characters wouldn't necessarily get along at first and have to gain each others' trust. how does that sound? sorry, i don't exactly have a set plot, but i have a lotta muse. :3

loco ; don't worry! i was just planning on throwing some d&d creatures or general themes in, the entire thing won't be based in it.

yessssss bear! i'm honestly so sick of waiting a week and half for a dozen people to finish their forms to get a roleplay started. i'm here to write, not spend hours intricately plotting my character's entire persona and waiting for others to do the same (though sometimes there are exceptions). i really want just an open fantasy world that we can toss in anything we'd like without having to worry if it falls in the realm of 'reality' for that particular universe.

i love the idea of you having a half-orc! i'm thinking of having a human ranger, maybe a former soldier? he might be someone who's dabbled in some magic as well, but not much. if there is a war going on between orcs and humans, then the two of them would really hate each others' guts. and loco, you can chose whatever you want for your character, i already love having multiple races together in a group. i also have a friend that might be joining us, i've pmed them and i'm now awaiting a response.

i feel like the group would be working with some third party to retrieve the treasure. our characters might be putting aside all their grudges against one another for the good of the world to get the treasure, and stop the war. or they could just be in it for themselves, wanting payment after they retrieve the treasure. as for the war itself, any ideas? we could always go with orcs vs. humans, but that might be bit stale. we could try to mix it up but i don't now how likely it would be for elves or halflings to team with orcs, given their nature.

i'm looking forward to this too! that would be cool if your character was something non-traditional like that. be a druid. ha no. i'm really excited to see how well our characters don't get along. i'm thinking my character is gonna be some sadistic killer? maybe he got kicked from the military for dabbling in magic or just overall stupid recklessness.

i like the idea of two different regions fighting each other, and the different terrain. i'd love for our characters to go through mountains, forests, different environments and towns and such. also, what about this treasure they're looking for? i would assume its something magical, and it has to be important enough to be able to change the outcome of the world drastically. maybe something like a weapon or an article that gives its wearer a whole lotta power, but kinda corrupts them? oops basically the one ring. sorry not sorry.

ahhhhh sorry for the late response! i've been pretty busy lately.

bear ; oooh yes that will be nice. i like how your character has that kinda motivation mine probably won't ha. just money probably. i like the idea of a gauntlet, so its like you have all that power literally in your hands. it could probably be from some old king or really powerful mage in the past that used it for good or evil. sauron. do we want our guys to be paid to do this, or out of vengeance/boredom/for the good of the world? if they were paid, would we want it to be one side specifically, or just a dude that's like "hey let's stop killing each other. go fetch this magic glove for me and i'll give you money."?

resaren ; hello. yes. welcome. do you have any character ideas that will fit in with bear's and mine? any plot ideas? hmmmmm?

@spooky milky; heyo! would you want to join the adventure plot that bear, sar and i are doing? you can read our previous posts if you want, but its basically your medieval fantasy adventure. we're going to have our characters go on a quest to retrieve a magical item (gauntlet maybe) to end a war between two different regions. it would have a bunch of different races and magic stuffs.

if you want though, you can totally convince me to do a different plot with just you specifically. if you want to do this group one we could probably fit in whatever ideas you have too. and yes please dragons.

@milky; sweet! you can think up the gist of your character if you want. we're really just going with typical fantasy races: humans, elves, halflings, dwarves, orcs, and so on. bear has a half-orc paladin and i have a human archer, so if you wanted to have your character fit in with them that would be great. maybe a mage to spice things up a bit and add some magic if you want?

bear ; yeah, i really love having a lot of diversity in groups as far as races and classes. then everyone has their own specialty and place among the group.

@both of you; so how would we wanna start this off? them all meeting at a tavern (original, i know) to meet up with the guy that wants them to fetch the gauntlet? they could all know the guy for some reason or another, and since he all knows them fairly well he could send out messages to them, asking them to help him out. i'd assume none of them know each other either, so they'll really be a hodgepodge group the guy put together to go on a quest for him.

also, i do believe sar will be roleplaying with us, they'll just really busy right now and will probably jump in the rp once we make it.

yessss! i just had the idea of maybe they stumble across/have to go through a dragon's nest? that would be so epic. okay, unless you guys have any more ideas or questions, shall we start the roleplay? i'm afraid i won't have it up until about midday tomorrow, i won't have much time until then. but i'll get on it as soon as i can!
