Heh oops, I figured no one was responding. But now I checked back in! =D
It's sad I haven't been on so much lately....but anyways YES! A group RP would be nice. However will one survive? Making a private one with people we already know or at least seem to be fun partners is a must. At least it's second on my list. A good idea is probably more important p=

Do you have any group ideas Poggio? I'm afraid I'm awfully- nevermind I take that back xD

Ok so our modern world setting; things are normal until an "alien" race appears and declares war on us. They want to take the planet and are doing so by force. This advanced people is either ahead of us by technology (sci-fi) or they got magic (fantasy).

I didn't originally think of technology for this idea since I was playing a wizard in a game at the time lol. But see the idea is that we are woefully underpowered. The newcomers bring with them some source of magic power they tap directly into. Magic, being foreign to our solar system/reality, is new and adept users are finding ways to use this new ability. However it's not through they source. Instead they pull from excess energy left behind by spells the enemy have used. Combining technology and magic spells we are only beginning to understand gives us a fighting chance. However exhausts the mana pool since we are basically "recyling" waste energy from the enemy's spells. lol This however creates a double-bladed sword. We get a fighting chance at the expense of revealing our location. With the little mana pool there is it isn't hard to notice when someone uses it.

SO I think I basically just used a lot of words to go over some um...basics of magic I guess? >.< Anyways short version: Magic wielding aliens declare war, we fight with our tech and are obviously not going to win unless we gain an edge. Individuals through the planet find themselves rather adept at this "magic". Though they have little understanding, a small amount of energy in their surroundings to use, AND the fact activly using it draws enemy attention *takes breath* it is more effective to use against them.

yeah...so many levels we can do this and I have ideas about why the "aliens" want to fight like this. I know i got longwinded. But that happens when I day dream. I always flesh out the world in my mind's eye ^//^;

NOTE: If you got the gist of what I'm attempting to express in that wall o text. I'll need help simplifying and cutting out details that aren't that necessary. >.<
