Ya that's how I feel about it too. D:
I really do love the idea and everything but I'm not sure how to advance the plot. >:
We agreed that we would have them try to figure out why the Game is put into place and try to get out of it and what-not right?
What if something major happens to sort of force them to have to figure it out. Otherwise I think they would just keep going along with the situation until they either got "killed" or turned 25. D:

- nods -
Ya that sounds good. And my character would be using a huge gun haha. Or she switches between like a big sniper rifle and a lighter assault rifle. o 3o;
So then would our characters know each other already or are there like, different sections of the clergy all over the place?

[Shenandoah]

That's what we agreed on.

And the people would be more like roaming village priests in a sense. Basically, pick up whatever their 'preacher teacher' taught and use it to fight, hoping to find their own apprentices later on. I have an idea for a couple of characters myself. One would be more Roman Catholic and kinda religious... the other would be a guy that had lost his entire family to the monsters and is more of a vengeance seeker... through all the liquor he would be ingesting.

[M e w]

Yup... so what do you think could happen? But first I think the purpose of the Game should be figured out... did you say what the purpose of it was already or not? :O

Ah ok, I see. :]
So then I think the reasons behind my character doing it would be pretty simple. She would just be doing it because demons = bad so they need to be rid of. xD
She's a very brash and straight-forward character.
Do you want to double up immediately? Because I'm not sure about another one atm... but I will probably think of one to introduce later.

[Shenandoah]

...I honestly don't remember. I don't think we discussed it. *blushes* *ponders* Maybe we could have the purpose be something along the lines of... finding the person that designed the game so that they could put a stop to him/her. Like an evil mastermind that likes playing with the lives of others? A puppet master?

I still have to design them somewhat, so I could do one for a bit and start out a bit away from the epicenter. Like, down in Washington D.C. or something, but not too far or else it'd be hard to get up there with all the fighting.

[M e w]

So would the creator of it just be insane? xD;;
I mean, is that just the creator's purpose, to screw with kids' lives? :O

- nods -
Ya I don't think it would be smart to start somewhere far away. xD
So then the overall purpose is to stop the demons and close the portal? to the other reality or whatever. But I think that's too broad, like we'll get stuck along the way y'know?
I think we kinda need to focus on a smaller goal at the beginning, not so much just "WE GOTTA CLOSE THE DOOR TO THE OTHER WORLD" because then we'll get stuck on the way to that goal.

[Shenandoah]

*flounders slightly*

Yeah... I'm kinda weak at the moment on ideas... For the Game, the puppet master could be the first part, but then things get worse when it comes out he/she isn't actually in control of the situation. Essentially, he's the accessory and the puppet him/her-self. The players would have to kill the true creator of the whole 'Game', a 'Shadow King' that wants to achieve a kind of goal. To bring these kids into the Shadow World and turn them into his subjects. That's where a good portion of the monster come from, the souls of the kids that are killed in the game. (Totally pulled this out of my ass, if it's not obvious.)

And on the demon world idea, we could do something a little narrower at the beginning. Most of the people of this world have lost someone in their families due to the accident. It could start as revenge to get the demon that killed the family member or all demons in general. And the fact that these people (ten years down the road from the accident, which is something I forgot to say earlier) have lived for some time in a hard, war-ridden world makes for unusual personality developments. But I don't think that this has quite narrowed it down, yet. Revenge is a powerful motivator, but not many should remember the exact cause of the accident except for the older people who may or may not remember the cause.

Another point I forgot to mention is that holy ground is a powerful thing, too, but can only be maintained when there are no violent deaths on the property and takes a lot to sanctify that ground again. Churches or holy buildings are common safe-grounds that are also commonly forgotten simply because the violence that occurs in the cities on a daily basis nullifies most sacred grounds quickly. Most people either survive on crap that had been in a can for ten years or from synthetically produced foods that aren't that great.

What do you think would be a good narrow goal in the beginning? Revenge is all I can come up with at the moment. "To kill all demons as they come across them."

[M e w]

Haha it's a simple, well-used idea but I'm not against it or anything. xD
If it isn't too much perhaps the Shadow King guy wants to take over this world, etc. etc. That kind of thing is used a lot of course but ya, kinda stumped on ideas atm. ^^;;
So how about the thing that changes is that, at first, there are a lot more monsters that are stronger. Like more "Boss" type monsters start popping up, and the difficulty of staying alive increases. Suddenly a lot more kids are being "killed" and even more start being put into the Game. And then because those new kids don't really know how to deal with the situation usually they are killed really fast. Non-players start to notice the vast amount of kids who are falling into comas and there would be news about that.
Our characters could all run into each other soon because of the increased difficulty and they have to group up to keep each other alive. Maybe we could bring in some minor characters there as well, other Players who also group up with our main characters. Because it seems like if they don't try to stop the Game themselves they'll be killed within a matter of weeks or days the Players actually start to take action. Try to figure out how to stop it and what is really going on.
Does all of that sound decent? xD;
I think that's a good basis to get going at a good pace again...
Oh ya, and about where Shannon and Robyn are talking, I thought I should point out that when Shannon was getting beat up, that was AFTER school. :I
And you had Robyn going TO school when she walked by and saw him... so I was kinda wondering about that. xD;;;

Revenge works, and I think I could have my character be a bit influenced by that, but it doesn't really consume her as the main reason, like you said one of your characters is. Her family would have been killed off by the demons and she's only around like 20-21-ish so she would have been young when it happened of course.
How many "safe" areas would there be? Like the areas that are guarded and what-not. I picture it like the world is mostly a wasteland with the demons roaming about wherever they please, feeding on whoever is stupid enough to walk around in the wasteland. There aren't so many of the safe towns/cities, and there aren't a ton of survivors so there wouldn't be a need to have a lot of them anyways.
Is that how you picture it more or less? Or different?

EDIT :: Ah, time to go kill some Nazi zombies. xDD
I don't think I'll be on anymore tonight but we can continue discussing it tomorrow hopefully. ^^

[Hermes]

*stares at thread* As a literate, long-posting roleplayer, this thread has brought me great joy.

I haven't gotten a good roleplay in in a long while, and would love to do a one x one with you, Mew. ^_^ Post-Apocalyptic is actually my favorite style, so...I'd be quite happy for that. I can't speak much for my possible activity on the weekends, but I'm on daily during the week.

Well, just tell me if you're looking for an RP right now, and etc. on the details. ^^

[M e w]

Oh look, I popped back on. xD;;

Hey Hermes, glad to hear that. 8D
Well I'm gonna be doing a sort of post-ap rp with Shen but depending on how things differ I wouldn't mind another one. ^^
Sadly, my mind is blank right now. D8
It could be because I've had a headache all day today and maybe I'll have some ideas tomorrow but I don't know. o 3o;;

I'm getting a bit overwhelmed with rps now but I won't be able to resist if I really like the plot idea. xD
So do you have anything in mind that you want to do? Like specifics?

[Kaguya]

mew mew

[M e w]

Heeeey. ^^
Oh, about our rp... I'm wondering if you know where we're really going with it. D:
I seem to be facing this problem a lot lately. xD;;;

[Kaguya]

I'm thinking rebellion ^^

[Kaguya]

Post-apocalyptic ftw ^^
I didn't know you where into that Mew mew

[M e w]

Ya.... :O
So Mitsuka said that she knows that Digits has been hacking there right? :O
Just want to make sure heh.
I'm thinking I'll want to skip forward a bit either in my next reply or like the one after that.

Oh and yes, post-ap is awesome. x3 <3

[Kaguya]

We need a post apocolypse <3

yup she knows

[M e w]

OMG. xDD
I'm gonna have an rp heart attack lmao.
How many do I have going now...
- counts -

4. That's not too bad lol.
I also have like 3 with Lee and there's that one with the three of us but I don't know what's going on there. She said she doesn't really rp here anymore, she mostly replies to her rps on another site so... ya I dunno about that. D:

Oh but then there's also two more being talked about in here lmao. Plus another if me and you start another. xD
