Notus Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Hello everyone! So, I finally gathered enough courage to try and start my first RP here. Hope you like it! This is an idea I'm got more or less one month ago, and I think it could be interesting. It's basically an RP based on the game King of the Hill (which you can easily find on the Onix Arcade) where, for the most part, the players will find themselves competing against each other to reach their goals. Of course I don't plan to force it on anyone, the players will have freedom to team up or even don't engage others at all, and in the end there won't be any winners nor losers. Now for a little intro to the plot. Researchers discovered a hollow hill that ended up being an ancient complex. As an team of explorers vanishes inside it, the hill turns into an abnormal area where supernatural ocurrences happen, such as some objects vanishing in thin air and others apearing out of nowhere.Other research teams were sent on, but most members came back in shock, some even in a vegetative state. One day, the leader of the original team comes back and says that whoever reaches the final chamber of the complex will have his dreams fulfilled... He never spoke another word. Much time passed. The area around the hill was locked down by the military and, as time passed by, forgotten. Ocasionally an someone tries to get in, only to return in a completely wrecked state of mind. Besides that, people keep sneaking in and vanishing through the gates of the hill complex, trying to fulfill their dreams... You are someone with a dream. You want desperately to turn it in reality. And you'll go over everything and everyone who stands in your way. Let the game begin. That's the basic idea. Here go some rules: -Once inside the hill, people cannot die. If you pass by a killing experienceyou'll stay dead for a while and than recover on the same place you were killed(if anyone watched Angel Beats, it's just like that) -Your objective is to get to the bottom floor of the complex.Each floor is a mazeand the stairs to access the next floor are hidden somewhere, protected by a guardian -You'll begin the story separated, player encounters can happen at your will, as well astraps and monsters (I'll stil throw some of those at you however).Guardian encounters will be determined by mod.-You may choose to kill other players in order to slow them down and get to the bottomfirst, after all no one nows if the hill's magic work more than once. On the other handyou can still choose to team up with them or just follow your way. -Once inside the hill, your characters will gain a supernatural ability of your choice to be used through the story. It has to relate to the character in some way, and it will have an utilization cost. Try to keep them simple and not overpowered though, so the story can go on better. -If you engage another player try to be reasonable at the fight. No one likes to loose,but sometimes one has to. Don't worry though, no one is gonna be left behind at the end. If you have any interest in role-playing this story - or an better idea for it's name, since I'm terrible on naming things - please post below!

Zephyrus the Priestess Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Oh hey. XD So basically we'll be like, explorers, at that magical hill of sorts where anything can and will happen? Is there respawning too like in the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Yep, more or less like that, though you don't need to be a explorer. You may just have heard the rumours about dreams made true and sneaked in to give it a shot. And yes there will be respawning. Basically people cannot die once in there, so even if you're cut into bits (and it can happen) you'll stay "dead" for a while and recover in the exact same place you were when you got "killed". If you've watched the anime Angel Beats, it's just like that. Edited April 20, 2014 by Notus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 So it IS just like the game XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) More or less, since this time we'll have a story, chronological order and some limits on what players can do. Example, you won't see stuff like *bombs [person] and takes the hill*. Also the hill is more a labirint where you need to get to it's end. Edit: I'll put some basic rules on the first post to make things more clear. Edit, the return: Done. Edited April 20, 2014 by Notus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosesong Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I'm so in, when do we start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Glad you liked it Rose! Seems like K_H is interested too. I'll wait a little more to give more people time to find this, and if everything goes OK I'll post the OOC thread in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_H Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) sounds Great! i've already joined two other RPs, but i'll make it work! Also, i've put the link to this page in the OOC/Signup Topic of some other RPs to spread the word. Edited April 20, 2014 by K_H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 Well, Notus, Good to see you've decided to go ahead with this Idea. I have to say, I'm quite a bit interested in joining in, seeing as how Tempest has put the Kibosh on our glorified RPing in the KOTH thread. Yep, my RP is safely up off the ground, So I think I'll do just that. And I'm willing to help you out with it if you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I might join, this looks like some "dumb" fun that I won't have to think too much for. Good RP for me to blow off some steam while writing Graterras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notus Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 (edited) Woah, things are going better than I expected! Well, I think this is enough interest to start working on the OOC thread, so I probably will have it ready tomorrow. @ Tamer: Thanks for the offer mate! I'll need a back-up mod sometimes, and it's always good to have some help! Edited April 20, 2014 by Notus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindrop Valkyrie Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 I am always happy to mod if need be as well just so you know. Modding doesn't take too much out of my time to be able to do, and the RP forum is kinda my domain, so I am here a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyrus the Priestess Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 And so the battle for the Hill's mysterious power begins once more. Well... Soon, anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosesong Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 The hill's power is at the heart of the exploration; all alliances are most likely temporary and Lear to trusts no one.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
