Thread: 〖Witching 〖☾〗 Hour〗 [Ϻ/Ϝ]

Inspirations, Craves and PlotsWitching HourLovely worlds and lovlier stories. I am not going to just post a crapton of options. Instead I think I will just post my major writing desires. First off Current Inspirations These are a set of settings and ideas that make my mouth all watery. They can either be played in their canon setting, or you could help me come up with something similar! Dark Souls Read This! Praise the Sun! Dark Souls has such a beautiful and dark world, a constant and losing struggle against a darkness that corrupts the mind and the body and a curse that prevents many unlikely souls from truly dying till they go mad. Dark Souls has strong themes of Horror, Darkness, and Fire that I adore. RWBY Despite its humorous tone and colorful characters, the world of RWBY is fascinating so little was covered before the death of the creator and yet the world has so much potential - A dark world where humans eke out a living surrounded by ravenous monsters that seem drawn to them with the explicit purpose of wiping them out. The HuntersHuntresses also interest me. I have see three of the seasons, and I admit my interest quickly began to peter out when they brought in the Maiden storyline. RWBY's intense and stylish combat will always tickle my fancy. Zendikar Imagine a world that is constantly changing, shifting - Only parts of the world are safe to colonize while the rest is in constant turmoil. The world seems almost alive! And when sand dunes are not just getting up and wandering off, sudden changes in sea level and vicious storms, lands that decide they no longer wish to obey gravity to become floating islands and peaceful plains that suddenly become volcanic fields - Now imagine this world is absolutely littered with ruins that contain powerful and mysterious artifacts and dangerous secrets. Such is a world of adventure. Ravnica Also from Magic The Gathering This setting combines two of my favorite things a heavily urban setting with layers of intrigue and a dark underbelly. Ravnica is a plane that is entirely city, when people need to build more they just build up and the wastelands and nature have long since been built over. Ravnica has many things that support adventure - due to how the city is built, the undercity is an ever-expanding maze haunted by monsters and demon cults and the upper levels are ruled over by oppressive bureaucrats. More importantly Ravnica is ruled by ten guilds, each with their own specialties and territory, presenting a perfect recipe for conflict! DRIFTERS Oh I am not even sure where to begin It has a cast of historical badasses flung into a fantasy world, a wonderful dark-fantasy style world where the grand majority is ruled by human supremacists and non humans are treated like utter crap, a cosmic game that pits these drifters against other historical figures imbued with superpowers, and of course I am almost 100 sure the main bad guy is Jesus. He shows how terrifying healing powers can truly be. The primary group of characters also start a nonhuman revolution, something else I find sexy. Witching Hour ------------ ------------- Second Current CRAVINGS Now for my general cravings and ideas Denotes something I am craving HARD. Post Apocalypse See more I have for a long time been wanting to write a slice of life or adventure-based story that takes place after the end of society as we know it - to focus on people scavenging the remnants of old society and trying to build a new life for themselves among the ruins. What matters here is that the play takes place after the end. How it happened and who we play are up to us. The RP can also take a lighter approach on themes, with most of the threat coming from nature, or darker ones, a true and constant struggle for survival against impossible odds Raiders, Radiation, Mutant Monsters. How- -ZombiesPlagueDark Imagine the world falling to a resident-evil style outbreak and the trials of survivors trying to struggle against the remnants of the infection. Nature's RevengeMedium-soft Imagine nature finally has enough with humanity's constant exploitation - we did something to fully destabilize the fragile ecosystem, causing massive storms and climate change. Might result in a barren world All deserts, Flooded might result in a frozen worldAll Icy, might result in an overgrown world. Giant squirrels! Magic Imagine the chaos that could be caused by the sudden introduction of magic - Mutations, oppressed people suddenly developing the ability to raise undead armies, mages with all the threat of a nuclear bomb. A Post Apocalyptic Fantasy world has many options! War It never Changes The worlds end is not caused by a natural or unnatural event, but by people. Whether the classic nuclear wasteland Fallout or Mad Max style, or unconventional Rampaging robots Humanity must survive either underground or deep in cities. Post-Post - What if we skip forward a thousand years? Human has basically been kicked back to the stone age. Look at the upcoming game Horizon Zero Dawn for clues to what I am thinking here. Cosmic Apocalypse Imagine an apocalypse on a galactic scale, an entire empire or republic collapsing and leaving billions to scavenge from the ruins. And Who- Raiders Raiders are dangerous, unpredictable, and often crazy, but what if the story was written from their perspective? To a settler they might be a crazed bunch of loonies, but perhaps to them they are a band of brothers and sisters closely sticking to their gang. Iv been dreaming up a charismatic and a little crazy raider leader for something like this. Major inspiration from Fallout's Nuka World. Survivors You were born in this world, you will die in this world, but until then you will have to live in it. This type of RP would focus on the life of an everyday survivor, finding food, getting laid, having kids, and subjecting them to the next cyce. Adventurers But not everybody is willing to just sit around and wait to die - Some folks look for answers. Whether these people are looking for trouble, for power, or for fame, they delve into the most dangerous parts of the world, and many do not come back. No Man's Land An unusual setting that flips the script - For whatever reason, females make up at least 90 of the population and males are rare. This of course reverses the cliche that women are rare and valuable in a post-apocalyptic setting, because otherwise I prefer an equal-opportunity apocalypse. DEPRAVITY See more I would like to explore the darkest bits of human nature In many of my RPS the worlds tend to be harsh, but I for some reason want one where our characters face the absolute worst humanity has to offer. Rape, Murder, Cannibalism, Genocide, Torture, Slavery, Jaywalking! Now, it is worth mention, that I am not interested in actually role-playing these things To say I am not a fan of rape and other stuff is... well, a massive understatement But to use them as a framing device for the extreme adversity I want to put our characters through. The Setting could be anything - Perhaps we play a class of humans or even nonhumans deemed Lesser, a dark fantasy world where the upper crust of humanity is disgustingly depraved The World Nobles from one peice come to mind, perhaps a post-apocalyptic world where the worst has has been dragged out and even surviving becomes a terrifying task. Again, I am not looking for either characters to perpetrate these things, but to try to retain their sanity and survive in the face of impossible odds. Monsterboys and Monstergirls. Its a theme I love to play with, reversing the entire Monster-girl genre. I started with Naga, and then built from there until I had an entire world built around these beautiful and sexy creatures. I dont have most of it written down, but I did post a variety of monsterboys in an F-list Profile, which is located on the bottom right-hand portion of my signature here on BMR. Punk See more I thought I would outgrow it at some point but it seems I cannot. I. Love. Punk. Now, the punk genre is helpfully sorted out into the various elements but they all have similar themes. Punk style aside Love guys and gals with some attitude Punk is about rebelling, pushing against authority and surviving in an unfair world. Who is oppressing and who is rebelling of course changes from story to story its the theme that defines the genre. Whether you are in a gang of metahumans resisting government oppression Heroes, Infamous, A hacker or street sam fighting corporate greed and manipulation Shadowrun, even a barbarian battling against evil emperors Conan. Punk is dear and close to my heart, and there are a few subgenres I would love to write. Cyberpunk The Classic! Neon Lights, High Tech, and Low Life. During the day its a battle for survival in the underbelly of the big city, but by night the masks go on and the mags are loaded, its time to raise hell! Magipunk Much like Cyberpunk, but with fantasy elements! Magi-punk can be bright and shiny, oil and electricity swapped for steam and magic and a focus on beautiful airships and floating islands, or it can be grungy, a war between magic and tech that will only end when one side reigns supreme. Sandalpunk Dark, Grungy, but at least this time the dirt covering you poor peons is real dirt! Sandalpunk is punk during the bronze or iron ages, where the oppressive forces are the empires that constantly expand and chain those they conquer. This genre uses magic heavily, but usually has a far more negative take on it magic is a tool of oppression and usually takes the form of black magic. Punk punk Conan Style Under Construction PlotsWorlds These are my own original ideas. Ill probably be working on these for a while.
