Would uh an RP related to the seven sins be of interest? Like 7 RPers make like each a character for one of the sin and uh things happen. It's going to be something fantasyish I guess.

Or would that be unoriginal? I have some vauge idea for it sorta but before I can say it I just wanna know if using the 7 sins trope is a bad thing or not here. I mean I'm struggling here.

Actually yeah seven sins is an overused trope

it's not being used right now, for an active RP I mean but. It's overused. Seriously.

Ughhhhhh

Nothing. Nevermind.

As for the idea? How is it unoriginal? I can think of a single movie that used this premise. Se7en (Or as I like to call it whenever given the chance, "Sesevenen"

It could make for a decent horror/mystery RP.

Oooh I have an idea for this. The 7 sins are 7 suspects for a crime.

So each person has a different motive for committing a crime and the story focuses on each motive? Trying to piece everything together and figuring out who did it and why?

So for example, one suspect "Lust" would be killing the victim for a woman or the victims partner killing them, greed could be a business partner killing the victim for personal profit, gluttony because the victim ate the last cookie in the cookie jar etc.

That...That could actually be a really interesting mystery. I don't see working as an RP, but as an actual novel? I'd read that.

Idk it's unoriginal because like it's everyehere on deviant art and watt pad

And uh FMA also used the thing too but

basically everyone has like the qualities of their sins and uh.

What I was thinking about is that parasites or whatever it doesn't really make sense to me anymore ughghh

Or for valves idea maybe I can do like something with witchcraft or some forbidden type witchcraft used with blood or killings of bodies for sacrifice or whatever. Or just a regular crime like a murder or several murders of some pretty Damn important people, players either work to clear their name or to hide their tracks.

Or über murder house with 7 and they all fight or kill each other to be the one.

I have some outlines if needed. Lust could be a lady of the night or a r apis (t), Greed could be a bank robber, wrath maybe a serial killer/someone who's gone postal, gluttony a cannibal, and the other three are harder to make criminal archetypes of.

That could work. If you give reasonable motives for everyone. That can be seen as more important then the murder itself. A bunch of people killing eachother for power or whatever is dull and boring.

Envy: A homeless fellow
Sloth: The victims older, spoiled brother who has had everything handed to him.

Motives (just an idea)
Pride: recognition
Greed: a very large cash sum
Lust: the love of their life
Gluttony: a feast
Wrath: vengeance
Sloth: peace and quiet
Envy: success

Oh man with the mutder house idea I think I'd have to write out predefined relationships (not really romantic Lol) between the sins and reasons for why they would kill and whom, or make sure people put their characters to PMs

Or nah that would be too restricting? I dunno

"Oh man with the murder house idea I think I'd have to write out predefined relationships"

Do you really, though? Maybe to the victim, but why do they need to know eachother?

maybe I can do like this dangsn ronpaesc thing for murder house where people have to kill to get those things they want, but while they don't have to clear their tracts with a trial they also have to survive other people's attacks or attempts of killing them???

And for the goals to what they want I think I might actually let them make their own as long as it fits their sins???

Aye. Just look at "And Then there were none" There doesn't need to be any predefined relationships between characters.

Maybe maybe not?? Was thinking this could apply more to the murder house idea but for the suspect idea maybe not really

Depends on what I can choose

Also this is just brainstorming right now so uh I'll post another thread go reserves since I'm on my phone and I can't make anything with this

Yeah valve/mage/literally anyone else is a bit more uhhh qualified to make the RP since I really wasn't expecting so many people to go with my barely thought of idea??? So if anyone wants to take it for themselves they can???? Please??!?!? I really want an RP like this but I'm kinda preferring if someone else took over
