The first of my internships is ending in two weeks and I really want to get back into RPing, so I have been thinking of trying to start one and get it up and running. I have a ouple of ideas bouncing around, so I would be interested in hearing which of them attract the most interest and if there are any suggestions that people have for them. So, without further adieu, my current ideas for RPs:
1. A Pokemon Version of the Fate Series, except with Legendary Pokemon replacing historical figures. So the premise is that once every sixty years, a magical artifact appears and seven mages (so magic exists in this version of the Pokemon world, although it is not a widely known factor) summon Legendary Pokemon to be their servants and fight one another, with the winner receiving a wish. Some mages enter for personal reasons, other for glory, but all of them have to navigate tenuous relationships and alliances not only with their Servants and any other supporters, but also with each other. Betrayal and deception are common tools and politicking can be just as instrumental for victory as outright power.
2. An adaptation of Battle Royale, a novel I finally finished this past winter. Possibly involving Pokemon, possibly not. I suppose that there are some ways to make the setting more interesting, but I am honestly curious to see and be surprised by the characters and situations created by the RPers versus the GM. (This is actually a common thread in all of these three ideas for me, albeit differing in intensity from concept to concept). This is probably the least thought out of the three ideas I am presenting here today.
3. This is kind of the blockbuster of the bunch, and not just because Neo played a huge hand in helping germinate the idea. No One Said Goodbye (killer title, right) takes place in the aftermath of a mysterious global event where every single human has mysteriously disappeared, leaving the Pokemon left behind to try and pick up the pieces and figure out how to live their lives. Different factions arise and efforts to solve the mystery of just what happened and whether or not there is a way to fix it run up against the ambitions of those who do not want things to go back to the way that they used to be.
I eagerly await your thoughts.
