A Few Ideas For RP Action

While we're all on the spree of sharing our ideas for role plays to try and run, I figured I'd throw my ideas into the hat.

1) Zombie Survival - Kingdom Hearts Style; No, that probably won't be the actual title for this one if it sees approval. The short story behind this one is that I've been playing KH1 on the whole 'night of fate' sequence for a few too many hours on end over the passed two days, and have been reinvigorated to work with an old idea of mine. Think of the RP as being set within a long-term infestation of Heartless upon a world within the KHVerse (possibly several if it can work out that way). People have been surviving within this world in a manner similar to how things play out in a typical zombie apocalypse scenario, traveling their world evading and battling Heartless that now roam quite freely. They're armed (some to their teeth) in weapons similar to Leon's Gunblade and Cloud's Buster Sword, with which they can slay Heartless, but the Keyblade seems to have vanished without a trace, so there's not much possibility of ending the onslaught of Darkness in the near future. Perhaps a group of heroes finds a clue to said Keyblade and embarks on a quest to find it.

2) Gotham City:

Spoiler

"Aftermath;" Utilizing the ending to Nolan's Dark Knight Rises as the springboard, this would be a follow up to that series, taking place only a short time after the fact. John Blake has stepped down from his position as detective with the Gotham City Police Department and inherited the Batcave in light of Bruce Wayne's death.' He has now taken up the mantle as Gotham's Dark Knight. With the exposure of District Attorney Harvey Dent's true actions, the City of Gotham could no longer uphold the Dent Act, for sake of public backlash. Many, formerly small-time, criminals have been acquitted of their overly harsh sentences, and are embittered by the injustice of their imprisonment regardless of that fact; a slew of more dangerous criminals still work the streets following Bane's storming of Black Gate Prison. But even these dangers fall short of the peril about to befall Gotham. A collective of extremely lethal adversaries is about the rear itself before the city, all sharing one common grudge: Wayne Enterprises, now headed by Lucius Fox.

John Blake is sure to have his work cut out for him. He may yet need more than police to assist him in bringing down these rogues to come.

3) Fighter/Martial Arts/Tournament Centered RP - Basically, something in the vein of the Arena, possibly taking place within the Arena itself. Pretty much something in the vein of most fighting video games (ie - Streetfighter, Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, etc). The action focus would be on a tournament, but there'd definitely be something bigger going on behind that.

 

Going the way of having a group of vigilantes was more what I was going for with that one. I personally feel that, with the passing of the torch to a new person to fill the Batman role (and what I saw as a stronger participation on the part of the 'minor' protagonists), the door is pretty open for others to take up arms, even if it's the Nolan-verse. If it makes up for anything, I was planning on having it be by the Batman's hands that the group is assimilated.

 

It would appear that I've inspired you, my friend. Feel free to share your ideas, especially on 3.

 

So basically, you're suggesting that idea #3 be a steampunk genre?

 

Not quite what I'd be aiming for with it. Though there could be some elements of cyberpunk involved.

 

I think if I were going to go with any "punk" aesthetic for idea 3, it'd be cyberpunk, though probably only mildly so.

 

Thank you Cameron. In all likelihood, I'll be pitching that one up before the others, if only because it can operate with any number of participants without issue; the other two sort of hinge on being able to get the numbers that I'd need.

 

As long as you'll be good with more moderate levels of power. Like I said though, that idea hinges on getting the right amount of people before I can move forward with it.

 

I figured I might revisit this thread; I know there are some people that were interested in at least one of these ideas.

Any further thoughts?

 

Well, I guess it's safe to say that the Heartless-Zombie idea might be ideal. If you're willing to run a collab, that'd be awesome.
