It's not been long since my last IC, but ideas are ideas.

How about an AU which takes place in the modern world - but there is no such thing as a 'normal human'? There are several different races - angels, centaurs, satyrs, fairies, homunculi, etc. Animals such as dragons, gryphons and other mythical creatures are common - to the point where they completely replace every other animal we know. They can even be kept as pets.

Each humanoid race would have their own culture but would still live among the others. There isn't much of a plot to speak of yet, so perhaps I'll come up with something to do with war or destruction.

Here's an idea: the races have been getting closer relationship-wise, and as a result hybrids have started to appear. These hybrids frighten the general population because they share the traits of two races, meaning they're stronger than the average humanoid (for example, a flying centaur could pack a nasty punch) and are feared by society because they could be a threat. The government decide to put their people to rest by getting rid of these hybrids, who are now living their lives on the run from countless mythical beasts who want to kill them for the sake of peace.

The players would play the hybrids in question and choose the species that they originate from.

Oh - that's a point. I'd like to have a wide range of creatures, humanoid and animal, in my head ready for a more diverse selection in case this ever happens.

Original account? I don't have one - on other websites, yes, but I'd rather not share those. Do you like the idea?

The idea's interesting, but, and I mean no offense to you at all in saying this, it's rather obvious that you're lying about being new here and that this is your first account on ROBLOX. The idea is simply too well thought out for you to be a newcomer, and you're quite frankly much more polite than most of the rest of the internet.

"The idea is simply too well thought out for you to be a newcomer, and you're quite frankly much more polite than most of the rest of the internet."

I take no offence, and don't get me wrong - I'm a new guy here, but I'm not a new guy to roleplaying. I'm an experienced person. You'd be surprised about how many other places on the net are home to fantastic writers. I've met a lot of people who've inspired me in a lot of ways, but that doesn't necessarily mean they were nice people. This site's the next stage of my quest for the perfect community, I guess, and it seems pretty good so far! Perhaps the kid-friendly aspect has some influence on it...

"This site's the next stage of my quest for the perfect community, I guess, and it seems pretty good so far!"

You've come just when the last wave of massive flamewars ended and before the next one'll begin. I assure you, large portions of people who once comprised the regular community here are people that anyone with any common decency would find absolutely appalling to be around.

"Perhaps the kid-friendly aspect has some influence on it..."

To the contrary, the strengths and weaknesses of the community here have nothing at all to do with the rules here. The "kid-friendly aspect" that you describe is simply most of us feigning to be decent people (with one or two of us actually being decent people), and we are more than willing to violate the entirely unenforced rules here if we choose to do so.

I'll take your word for it, then, but you haven't put me off yet.

Anyway, back to topic. May I request a suggestion or two on how to develop this idea? I came up with it all within about four seconds so it seems quite rushed and unnatural to me.

Rather than doing a generic "government kills/kidnaps special people" type thing which is done approximately once a month here, an alternative idea would be that maybe the players can play as the government agents hunting down the hybrids as well?

@eikoopmit, thank you for that idea.
I might add in that part too. Maybe as a separate Roleplay but as a multiple choice RP.

Aye! I never thought of that. No, that would be interesting~ Imagine; conflict arising between played characters, a hunt on a more intense level, uncanny friendships emerging~ I like it.

It's going to be a while before I can actually produce a lengthy piece of writing and be active enough to keep track of it, but that gives me plenty of time to develop and implement ideas from other people. Thanks, Tim!

Oh... Lol, hi Jenna! Don't worry, that was probably my fault for not being more specific with the name of the thread.

Well, I have to go again, meaning no more lengthy posts because mobile's the best I've got. I'll start developing more ideas to expand this possible RP, but I will be checking for more suggestions and ideas so if you have any please don't hold back!

Do you want to collab, or do you want to write this independently?

Hmm, I've never really been a fan of collaborating but I have been using a Titanpad document to write with (as I have some time with a computer). Do you use Titanpad? I could send you the link if you want to help.

I've decided to include normal animals. No way can I think of a mythical beast to replace everything.

+1 Interest

I like having animals in general rather than only mythical animals. If you were restricted to one subject, you can't exactly think outside the box.

It sounds like it could be interesting, OP, but to make it fun you'd have to add lots of playable races that could crossbreed to make dozens if not hundreds of possible different hybrids so no two characters could be the same. The races you've included though are very cliche and overused, but I'm not telling you not to use them, just rather find different names for them. For example when you say "angel" or "demon" you could mean a winged human or the literal, biblical angel and demon which I doubt you're talking about. If you think hard enough, too, you can create really creative and fun-to-play races. You would have to explain a lot of things though, like the origin of these species and how they'd fight. Pretty much all of those races you've listed are associated with magic and it'd be much easier to make this in medieval times. A futuristic setting could be fun and unique too.

Also, you'd mentioned something to tim about your search for a perfect community. I can tell you this website is far from good, let alone perfect.

Yo, thanks for the advice. Tim and I have actually started working on it already and don't worry, we have plenty of races to choose from. I'll keep the modern setting, though; it means we have something to work from, which will likely be more successful than if I were to try and build an entirely new world from bits of historical knowledge or my own mind. Besides, I've been told that urban fantasies are popular.

I like urban fantasies but this forum really lacks in some, not sure about other forums but either way you could be making an amazing RP here and if this brings activity in the forum I'm all for it.

It could be popular or it could fall flat. Either way, I'll carry on writing.

In the meantime, I'm open to suggestions so if there's anything you would like to say that doesn't involve drastic changes, I'm all ears.
