Thread: Setting out my shingle - the Requests of Methos

So what are some things I'd like to find someone to roleplay with me? An excellent question naturally here a few things I've had on my mind. Rome has many patrician families, and the fortunes of them rise and fall on a variety of business dealings and agricultural matters. Sometimes the desire to win big also results in devestating losses. Your character's father has just lost everything. His finances are in ruins, he must flee the city with whatever he can take with him before his enemies and debt collectors imprison him and sell all his possessions. But he does have a way out. His younger, half brother has had exactly the opposite string of fortune. His cards so to speak have been aces. He offers to buy some family holdings so long as the contract is backdated for what under the circumstances is a generous price, but on one condition his niece is sold to him as a slave. Under the circumstances your father accepts all to quickly and a life of privelege becomes that of a slave and a toy. Ancient Greece has been plagued by monsters that have wrecked havoc and misfortune over the countryside. Some claim its the work of Hades as all the destruction they've wrecked has favoured one city which has gained his favour and expanded their territory and dominated their weakened neighbours. Now monsters have ravaged your city's countryside, captured many of your people and the enemy city's army has sacked your palace and captured you! Is their no hero that can deliver you from wreck and ruin? You are a would be singeractress. You're gorgeous and charming of course, but artistic talent really wasn't your strong suit. On the other hand you have a dream, you want to sing, dance and be on television and the big screen. But your auditions have gone terribly, your demo tapes have been rejected and your would be career as the next big thing is going absolutely nowhere. However, one of your friends has got you a meeting with the CEO of a multimedia company and he says he can make you a star but of course there is a catch... Captain Amazing is the guardian of Capital City. None can fly fast, hit harder, be more durable or shoot bolts of energy with the force he can. To put it simply - he's amazing. Hence its almost inexplicable why he constantly finds himself pitted against one villainess, over and over again. He captures her, hands her over to the authorities, she escapes and then she's back in his city again making her presence known so he'll come after her. Finally as he captures her once more he demands to know why! The King has quarelled with his greatest warrior. As a result he has withdrawn to his own lands, refuses to lead his men or the King's armies into the battle. As a result the war has gone badly. He has sent you to persuade his champion to return to battle. I could see a number of different possibilities for this be it the King's daughter, a legendary beauty, a courtsean or a sorceress or some combiantion of those mentioned previously. A peaceful kingdom has grown fat, wealthy and content through prosperous agriculture and trade. They had peaceful neighbours, and high walls to keep out bandits. What they weren't expecting was fleet of Viking ships to appear upon the horizon. He is the greatest wizard of his age. Naturally he is not taking upon students, his work and research are far too important to be troubled by anything so tiresome as teaching. You, however, consider yourself a prodigy and having heard of this reclusive master insist that on this occasion there ought to be an exception... story ideas updated
