I GOT A PULSE!!!
Because a bit of activity has been going on lately here, I figured we should have an RP to get the ball rolling again, while some of us mods figure out effective ways of getting other RP's back in action. So here's an idea to get us rolling:
This would be another Magical School RP, but one that's a little less...specific than 9 Hearts was.
The world is a semi-medieval magitech kind of thing. Think some of the Final Fantasy games, like 12. That way we can have that sweet fantasy look we all love with some of the tech that makes things interesting.
There are several countries in this land that we can have characters come from. It takes place mainly at the Academy where all our characters go/work etc. This Academy is a neutral force; dedicated to training it’s students to be the best they can, while also attempting to maintain peace/ stability in the land. It often hosts the leaders of the nations when they need to meet to discuss things such as treaties and land conflicts etc., including a large summit where leaders and/or representatives from each of the nations come to discuss affairs that affect all of them. Even though the Academy exists and attempts to keep the peace, skirmishes and wars can and do still happen. The Academy just demands that the conflicts stay outside of the school, and it has the resources to enforce that demand.
I liked how we all made the countries and races in the Odyssey RP, so I think we should do that again. Include things like the government system, the types of magic they are known for, what races are common there, what the native race is, etc. Let’s just try not to make countries that are too similar.
As for races/species, I think what we usually do is fine. Humans, half-breeds, demons, dragons, etc. are all good. And if we want to make an original race, we just need to create a bio for the race so others can make them too. Things like traits, any special abilities, how other races perceive them etc.
As for a ‘plot’, we’ll let it come to us. We’ll work off each other and see what conflicts and dilemmas come up. Maybe one of the countries has a plan to take over the others? Maybe there’s corruption in the school? Maybe a single evil appears that they all must fight against? Who knows?
I’m thinking the way the actual school works, is that students are separated by year, and there are 7 years total (taken’ a page outa’ Hogwarts’ book on that one). When students join on their first year, they are separated into teams of 4, and remain in those teams for their entire stay at the school. These teams are not determined based on country of origin, and the means through which the teams are established changes from year to year. The teams are used to help students make friends, learn teamwork (duh), and as a part of that, learn to adapt to their own strengths and weaknesses. Each team has a dorm suite, made up of a central living room with four rooms that come off it for each team member. All students’ dorms are equal in quality, and students keep the same dorm throughout their stay. I was thinking student age for when they start is based off when they get in.
The Academy is separated into sections; the dorms, the academic quarter (where the classrooms are, the library etc) the grounds (some classes, courtyards, sports fields, etc), the infirmary (it needs to have its own wing in a magic school) and the dining hall (like the great hall in Harry Potter, where students eat, get updates from the headmaster etc.) If anyone else has an idea of something the school needs bring it up.
And that’s about it. thoughts?
