My head is pounding and I am coughing hoarsely like an evil villain. I am not quite sure what this has to do with anything but -- I don't know. I guess it helps me stay in character for my idea?
Way better than shoe serial killer. //This is sarcasm-- Seriously.
Anyway, I have spent my last few Spanish classes creating my own language for a story of mine. The story focuses around an alternate world that, technically, is in a form of the Victorian Era, the Dark Ages, and the 21st century. It is not quite steampunk though it does resemble it. It is a Dark Fantasy and takes place just before an apocalypse. Magic, more specifically Chaer Runes, are common place with most people knowing a few words.
Events line up, cults and such, and BOOM! End of the word! Well -- Actually it is far less cliche than that. >_<
The Cults, however, are a real thing that seemed to have twisted the Runes of the thirteen creatures which are similar to gods. Similar, but not quite I guess.
Blablabla -- The world now ended and the story [or RP] would fast forward around three to five years. The world is influenced by Twisted Runes [Equal to black magic] and technology is consider -- Evil. Eletrical energy is sparse if existent at all. Radio towers are widespread and closely guarded and batteries- Well they are kind of not there at times.
Cults have used Twisted Runes to corrupt people and animals alike. Corrupted are twisted and by all definitions Demonic. Some are intelligent, meaning you could play as one of the corrupted, while others are a hive mind. The Thirteen are used as a source for this corruption and the next Thirteen are being raised to take their place as comatose power sources.
Technology and weaponry is crude and any person with a gun and a supply of bullets are both feared and respected. Lalala- POST APOCALYPTIC THING.
I wanna make this. ... Would anyone join?
... I don't know- I would even put information on how Chaer Runes on a pirate pad in case anyone wants to type them out xD. I don't know--
... ._. My inspiration is partially feeling horrible. |

I'd join but it needs a lil more fleshing out.
Needs much more explanation on these runes, how they work, who these mages are, and obviously: Those eras dont meld well. |

The point is that they do not meld well. >_< It makes it seem chaotic.
And I figured out how these runes work but I would like to add a few more details and figure out how the magic system will work before I share it.
This is a rough idea-- I haven't shared 50% of what I have at the moment. |

Chaotic doesnt make up for logic.
If someone says "Hey, wanna use this gun as your weapon capable of firing several rounds a second and killing anything almost instantaneously OR a bow?"
Yeah. No brainer. Some things just dont work together. |

Well one, I rarely allow guns into my RPs because most people don't know how to use them without becoming a near god.
Two, most people (at least during my RPs) choose swords and bows because they think they are "cool" or something.
If I purposely design the eras so they piece together I assume that I can make it so it follows logic.
So yes, it most likely would work. Not to mention that most guns have been destroyed in the RP, ammo is extremely scarce, and you would need at least some experience to be able to handle a powerful gun with any sort of accuracy without harming themselves in the process. |

IF you purposely design them, then yes, it'll work.
It just won't be easy. |

| Neither is creating a magic system and language from scratch. I have been writing for years, had this idea in my head for months, have been actively working on it for a while and I don't know -- I think I can design it that way. |

I didn't mean any disrespect, sorry if you took it that way.
I've been writing for years too.
Just saying, generally, when you put too many eras together, one will be dominant just through pure technological advancements. If you make one so scarce (like guns being the only thing from the 21st century), it tends to be either forgotten about or questioned (as it "shouldnt" make sense.)
It's hard to balance. I don't mean that as an offense, I mean it as a statement. It's just really damn hard. |

I think most eras will be evident in architecture and culture wise. 21st Century culture and influences are considered evil and the source of chaos. It is one of the things that lead to END OF THE WORLD.
I understand that you didn't mean any disrespect and I don't mean any back. I tend to get ... Almost irritated but not quite when it comes to people saying that something is far to hard or impossible. ._. |

| It's not impossible. Similar thing's have been done before. It's simply difficult to do. If you have any ideas of what parts of your world hold to what era, let me know and I'll tell you an outside perspective if you like. |

| All I know is that people will share a mix of beliefs and styles from two eras. >_< |

Not at the moment. I am willing to talk over ideas with people but I am going to try this on my own at first.
I want to know if people would be interested in joining it before I put in hours of effort. |

Wow.
You definitely have something going there, it's creative and original, plus I personally favor dark rp's...but that's just me.
Anyway though I would definitely join this, and I'm sure I have a few friends who would as well. |

| In my opinion it's not cliche. You mixed it up, so that undoes it. |
