anyone wanna help me think of an rp

[Aldrea945]

I've had a few ideas in the past I'd never be able to pull off.  Maybe you can. 
 
Genre: General
Rating: T
Idea: Humans and Furries have never been at peace.  Recently though, after the assassination of a prominant human, war has broken out.  There can be no good to come from this, and losing the war will mean an entire species will be gone.
 
Genre: General
Rating: N/A
Idea: Role reversal!  Humans and most prey furries are hunted like animals and displayed through taxedermy.  Only the best survive.  Are you one of them?

[Otebon Albrecht]

I apologize.


Are you asking for people like me to help you build the story so you can run it yourself, are you looking for someone else to run your story, or is there another option you are trying to explore?

[Aldrea945]

Just giving ideas.

[Otebon Albrecht]

Well then. In response to the first one.

I am actually running an RP like this right now in the adult section. You are free to join if you wish and can reach it (sorry, your age isn't listed in your profile), but if you wanted to write your own then here are the questions that I feel you need to answer.


-What is the nature of the problem? I began with Furries being the result of a disease that turned humans into Furs. If Furs have always existed, then there needs to be another source of conflict. Perhaps it is a territorial or resource based dispute.
-What was the cause of the death of the "prominent human"? This doesn't need to be revealed to your players immediately or even at all. It does need to exist however as it determines the reactions of people in the world. If it was natural, albeit suspicious, causes (like a car crash or a heart attack in an otherwise healthy human) then it is played like Pre-WWI diplomacy where everything is reactionary. If it is purposeful / an assassination (which is what you've written, but I like to explore every path), then it could be retaliatory.
-What / Why are the Players together? Are they the Spec Op group of the Furry nation? Are they just people thrown together by war and figuring it out by themselves? Are they prisoners being interrogated as spies?


For the second one...

... very similar questions need to be answered. Focus however on the "What is the nature of the relationship between Humans and Furs?" question. Is this a new thing for humans to do, or has this been happening since the dawn of time? If this is common, why is it a problem worthy of an RP?


RPs are (in my humble opinion) a story told through the narrative of the players. You don't have to worry about characters. The premise of the story, the WHY, needs to be there though. Without that, there is no RP.

[Aldrea945]

I know what you mean.  I tend to keep things vague at first to let the story work itself most of the time (That, and I don't always think things through).  Anytime I've tried to get too specific, it's back fired on me with little interest, like New Life or Bred to Serve.
 
1. I wish I was old enough to join yours.  It certainly sounds interesting.  Being sixteen backfires a lot.
*Furries are entirely separate from humans, with different genes and such.
*Currently, not released.  I had poison in mind though, usually by a servant furry.
*They have not been brought together by anything but circumstances.  They have never met, and if they have, it's only between a small group of them.
 
2. This one has many of the same circumstances as above, and could be viewed as a prequel.  The only thing worth specifically noting is that Furries are, by our vocabulary, game in a world of hunters.  They are seen as animals, with no defining traits in the eyes of humans besides being good for leather.

I love the idea of combining the two. It makes the story that much more interesting!!!


In a world where Furries are hunted and thrown into the gutter of a "pure" human society, there are so many opportunities for a good story. How about this...


Humans dominate the world. Furries are the lowest of the low in society as they fulfill one of 3 roles: game for hunters, servants for the rich, or menial labor. A revolution is on the horizon however as the slave of (Insert important person here) murdered their master.


The players are part of a resistance group. For ideas of specific situations, look at similar historical events (Pre-Soviet Russia, the history of South America, etc.) and various movies / video games / books.


It could be huge.

hehe that's why you're my friend Aldrea.. you come up with the most epic sens, when i am only rather good with dialog and the gore description..

[Aldrea945]

I love that idea!    This would be so fun to do.   

[Kaya]

indeed.

[Otebon Albrecht]

So should I now be on the look out for an OOC?

[Aldrea945]

I'll do my best.
