Collossus RP discussion [CLOSED]

[The Clown]

I have a good idea for a RP, I have a story planned, history, char guides and setting etc all basically worked out, and was wondering if anyone would be interested in joining it later on once I've thought it all through properly.

If you are going to join then I don't want you to be half hearted about it, the last RP I made died because I let people in who never posted and ruined it.

If you have any ideas or questions then feel free to ask away.

The basic Idea for the RP would be elemental gods fighting over the earth after the human race failed, I have a story planned, and if this gets up and running I will add a hell of a lot more detail to the settings etc.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I'm in. Sounds interesting.

 

[The Clown]

good to hear

 

[ninja555]

I'm in. The premise sounds pretty cool and I think I can finally use a character idea I have had in my head for a while. Can't wait for more info!

 

[A Gent of Villainous Intent]

Sounds pretty cool, I'm in.

 

[The Clown]

Sure, I know bob is good, ninja I seem to remember is good, and I've looked at you gent and you seem competent enough. For now you're all excepted.

 

[The Clown]

Also, there's one thing I need your opinions on, do you think they should be elemental, like fire ice water lightning earth etc, or just gods of general things like god of the sky, god of the forest, or of certain places. If we do elemental then we could have 8 or 10 players, one for each opposing element, or if we go for the other, you'd have more freedom but there'd be some major overlapping of powers etc.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

I was thinking elemental.

 

[The Clown]

I was thinking elemental.

thats ok, the only problem we'll have to sort out is who gets what element.

 

[The Clown]

ok, the limit is going to be 10.

 

[TheDoctor455]

I'd like to get in on this as well.
Sounds good.


Any kind of limits on what kind of gods?

 

[The Clown]

not really, I was thinking as big as possible, you can have as mighty powers as you want, be however big you want (not bigger than the height from earth to space I'm afraid), just no annoying powers like teleportation, time stop, or basically something that ruins it.
I was thinking a creature the size of a mountain with trees growing on it for earth etc. but you could be smaller if you'd like with the same powers, just keep them to a mythical style, no tech.

 

[ninja555]

What elements are you planning on using? Also, if hasn't been decided, I would like to place a vote on the gods option, sounds more flexible.

 

[The Clown]

ok, the 8 main ones I have decided on are; Fire, water, wind, earth, ice, light, dark and thunder. But if more than 8 good writers want to join then I might add two or four more less mainstream ones, maybe sand, nature, decay and metal.

 

[TheDoctor455]

Yeah...
I'd much rather be an incarnation of madness than an "elemental".

 

[The Clown]

Yeah I'm for gods not elements for more diversity.

Elements seem a better Idea, it gives a more epic feel, and I've covered most types of creature you have, feel free to choose your element from your creature not your creature from your element.

 

[The Clown]

Yeah...
I'd much rather be an incarnation of madness than an "elemental".

Madness seems like it would cross the bad power rule..... how are you going to fight dragons the size of mountains with madness?
Elements, although more constricted, will work better, but don't let it limit you, you can have the character you're thinking of, but edit the powers to within reason and have him be darkness.

I was thinking something like Cthulhu...
no one quite ever seems to see him the same way as anyone else...
he can mess with people's dreams...
drive them to insanity or even to worshiping him...

Tends to regard everything that isn't him as food.

 

[The Clown]

Ok, but mind control etc tends to work badly in most RP's if it can be used on people other than NPC's. Pick another power thanks, I strongly dislike mind powers.

It isn't exactly mind control...
my Cthulhu-based guy just sort of "exposes" people to madness... kinda like radiation... the longer they're around him, the more insane they get.
