(Out of Coffee: Hello there! Yes, I am new here, but I'm no stranger to role playing. I have been role playing for at LEAST 5 years, maybe more. This is one of many ideas I have for a role play, and it would be so so fun to try it out! I originally planned to make it into a story, but a RP sounds more fun at the moment. So please read and join if you'd like. If you want to join, PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE JOINING! Warning, it may make you hungry!)
~THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN SPOON~
The Legend:
In the Land of Tapioca, there is a long-lived legend of a Golden Spoon. This coveted eating utensil is among the rarest treasures in the world. With this spoon, only then is one worthy enough to eat the one and only Magical Pudding, a delectable dessert that not only tastes delicious, but also grants the consumer limitless powers...powers that they may use however they please. The power to conquer a country, become a king, or wish for even more of the magical pudding...any of that can be yours. However, the journey to get such a treasure is never easy. The Spoon is guarded by a powerful dragon, Beefrib, that sleeps at the top of Mount Almond. To reach the summit, one must travel across the rocky Peanut Brittle Plains, up the Rocky Road, and then through the Hot Tamale Tunnel before arriving at the summit, not to mention whatever else stands between you and the mountains. Do you have what it takes to reach the top and claim the Spoon for yourself? Now is your chance to test your strength! This is your Legend. The Legend of the Golden Spoon.
The Map:
The players can start from the small village of Chocolat (Chocola), a generally safe, peaceful town. To get to Mount Almond that looms in the distance, they must cross through the Forest of Broccoli, Pea Soup Swamp, the Badlands known as Warheads Crater, then somehow cross the Salad Sea to arrive at Egg Beach, which leads right into the Peanut Brittle Plains. Each area poses its own dangerous threats, laden with monsters, bandits, and traps in the road. It may be a giant Unagi monster in the Salad Sea, or a group of thieves from the Succotash Syndicate that plague the Pea Soup Swamp area. The journey will put each player to the test in their journey for the Golden Spoon.
Forest of Broccoli- A vast, dense forest where one cannot see the sky. The trees grow large and green, casting the area in a eerie, greenish glow. The underbrush is not so bad, many patches of soft, mushy grass cover the path. Due to the lack of sunshine, not many bushes or shrubs get much growth, keeping the paths clear. Bandits like to hide out here, there is currently a turf war between the Butternut Band of Broccoli Forest and the Succotash Syndicate of the Pea Soup Swamp...not to mention the vicious Chocolate Bunnies and Cinnamon Bear Claws that lurk in the woods. You may not have to worry about tripping and falling down, but you could very well be caught in a bandit war crossfire or become lunch for a bear.
Pea Soup Swamp- A thick, green swampland that stands right outside of the Forest's shadows. There is no path, only thick, murky mud that is green and always smells like peas. I hope you brought your rubber boots. This is the homeland of the Succotash Syndicate, a rough group of swampland bandits that aren't afraid to rob you blind and chase you from the land...if they don't kill you first. On very rare sunny days, the land dries enough to cross it dry, but other than that, be prepared to wade across to safety, while avoiding the bandits.
Warheads Crater- Once you feet touch the dry, cracked soil of Warheads Crater, don't think you're safe. Possibly the second most dangerous chapter of your journey, this area is not called the "Badlands" for nothing. It is perpetually storming here, with violent lightening storms, torrential downpours, damaging winds, and even a tornado or hurricane may crop up as you cross. If the weather isn't enough to keep you down, have fun with the Strudel Mountain Lions that come down to feed, as well as the fire breathing Miniwheat dragons that frequent the area in search of stupid travelers to feed on.
Salad Sea- When the land gives away to sand, you have reached the south side of Egg Beach. A calm place compared to what you have been through so far, a small town sits off to the side of the serene beach. You may want to borrow a boat, because you must cross the sea now to reach the next leg of your journey. The good folks of Egg Island tried to build a bridge across, but it remains damaged from the dreaded Unagi sea monsters that ravage the ocean. If there is no boat, you may want to just risk crossing the bridge to the best of your ability. Either way, watch out for the mysterious Parfait Pirates, who are known to lurk on the high seas and attack passerby ships.
Egg Beach- Once you have solved the problem of crossing the sea, you have reached the rough side of north Egg Beach. Unlike the good south side, this side is a desolate place of hurt and despair. Ahead of you almost looks like a desert, even though the ocean is nearby. Remains of towns can be seen among the sands, nobody knows what has happened here. Congratulate yourself, not many travelers can make it this far.
Peanut Brittle Plains- This rocky pass is the Peanut Brittle Plains. Home to many of the terrors that lurk on the mountain, such as return visits from the Miniwheat dragons, you can also face Walnut rocks, rock-hard monsters that simply look like regular rocks. Watch your step and your partners as they can get grabbed up in an instant by the Sundae Eagles that fly over the pass.
Rocky Road- Once you have passed the plains, the road begins to slope upward, in a spiral around the mountain. Don't fall, below you lie pointed, jagged rocks to impale yourself upon. Tread carefully, because one tragic slip and that's it, your journey is over. Many monsters make your trip harder, be it a Flying Fruit Salad Bat or more Strudel Mountain Lions.
Hot Tamale Tunnel- When Rocky Road opens into a tunnel, take off your jacket, or put on your fireproof tunic. This tunnel is a molten lava pit, with intense temperatures. You have one skinny road across the pits of fire and death, so walk carefully. The Molten Cheese Balls may arise from the lava to attack you, sometimes there will be too many to kill. Fight them off and press on, you're almost done.
Mount Almond Summit- At the very top of the mountain, there lies a dark cave. Before you may enter the cave, a large dragon stands in the way. This is Beefrib, the Guardian of the Gold Spoon. Whomever lives long enough to defeat him shall tread into the cave and receive their prize. If there is more than one hero left, a fight to the death must ensue. There can only be one hand to touch the Golden Spoon.
(Still with me so far? Great! Here's the form, and some ground rules to follow: )
Rules:
1. This is a semi-literate to literate role play. DO NOT say "u, ur, lol "or any other such speech. DO NOT use * for actions.
2. Please, and this is very important, name your character after a food. It keeps in line with the storyline. I'm sorry to impose this, but I want it to flow, as this was an original idea for a story I had. I would like to turn this into a story one day.
3. DO NOT God-Mod or Meta-Game. I have so many issues with this.
4. Have fun! And remember, for sheer etiquette, don't kill any players without their permission, or otherwise break rules. I reserve the right to ban players from the thread who don't follow the rules that are in place for your safety and enjoyment.
