@_handsome_devil_: That sounds like a really cool idea actually.
The Official RPG Ideas Thread
So I'm almost finished creating the Reverse Speedster biography, and of course, I have a million other ideas to make afterwards. Nah, I'm not gonna make those other ideas yet, not a bit later on (I still have to remake Aetheroth). But I'm going to go ahead and put an idea out there, for later on.
I'm going to sum this up in a few words, but hopefully it'll be enough to make an impact.
@dreadpool10: been done @meriin
@dreadpool10: Hey, don't let that discourage you though. If you have an idea and wanna run with such a character, do what you wanna do! Characters, whatever, but the writers are different and that can mean a lot. I'd be interested in seeing your take on it at least.
LOL go for it, nino. I wouldn't mind if you did it, it'd be interesting to see. That and I don't have any plans for Merlin in the future.
@fraga: LOL, I knew Merlin was you after I scanned his about-me page. Knew the way his powers were set up looked similar to another bio I'd seen.

Alright, thanks Arq! :)

That it is true. Usually it's good to do. I'm actually surprised that in the monthes I was gone, Meriin only had 19 posts lol. Especially with his ok, go for it.
@alexander_apex: SO.MUCH.YES
@alexander_apex: SO.MUCH.YES
lol right? Sounds cool anyway
I want to make Ultron, I want to make Arkillo, I want to make fecking Lex Luthor.
Decisions suck.
But I'm bias
@alexander_apex: Who would of thought?
I'll probably end up going with Lex.
@_felino_: Dont get me wrong, a strong Ultron archetype would play HAM right now.
Alright, I gotta bunch of ideas, let's see if they garner enough interest.
The first one is an open RPG with a narrative revolving around gladiatorial battles. Some kind of extraterrestrial collective of evolutionary biologists have been observing Earth for some time and have a particular interest in our planet's superhumans, particularly mutants who appear to be an evolutionary off-shoot of homo sapiens. Curious on how members of humanity managed to evolve over time to develop these extraordinary powers, they decide to capture a bunch of mutants (and other superhumans as well, so its open to anyone) and pit them against each other in gladiatorial battles set in an arena on an Earth-like planet to test their abilities. Though those captured must fight, their priority is to cripple their captors and find a way home.
The second one could be set in the future. Maybe a future where Gambler's @alexander_apex character has realized his full potential and become Lord L who now rules over most of the Earth with the exception of a few global superpowers that have resisted his attacks but can't continue to do so for too long. In this bleak future, Lord L rules with an iron fist in order to deter any superhumans from trying to oppose him. The character won't necessarily be evil, he'll be more of a Byronic hero in that because he has the power of a New God but the vision of a Knightfall, he has a kind of messiah complex and feels that he is the world's salvation and that only under him will the world's people truly prosper. It'll basically be like an Age of Apex thing where whichever heroes have the steel to do so will try and finally come together and develop a plan to stop Lord L. That is if G's up for the idea.
Third and final idea is a post apocalyptic RPG set in the near future where some kind of disaster, maybe a gamma ray burst from a nearby supernova, destroys much of human civilization and leaves a large portion of the world's animals extinct. It doesn't have to be a disaster that extreme but it has to be something where a big chunk of human civilization is destroyed. Different factions consisting of the characters in the RPG could pop up with the intention of taking over as many territories as possible, leading to clashes with other factions. Other characters could be loners, traveling around the world trying to get away from the warring factions to find a peaceful place to start over, really we'll be writing the narrative along the course of the RPG if we run with it.
@fraga: I'd like all three if I knew what the second was about but I'm not up on Apex. Always into a post-apoc rpg
I had one myself a while ago but I just don't have the time right now to follow through with it.
An RPG in which for one reason or another evil characters are 'Forced' to become good and vice versa, not unlike that event in Marvel a few months ago. Would be great for people with characters that have hit a brick wall or seem too far gone into evil or good to make a flip to the other side without a good excuse.
@_retrofire_: Likewise, they're one of my favorites.
Oh that'd be a fun one too. Lots of narrative potential in that. Hopefully these suggestions garner enough interest in this thread for us to start trying them out in the forum.
@fraga: Up for all 3.
@fraga: Always a toss-up with future ideas, but I do see some things I like.
Whether or not, there are parts, spawn from it, that could be usable in different contexts.
@dante_aurelius: Sends someone after the whole family. At once.
@fraga: I watched that movie kingsmen earlier today and it got me thinking. Instead of a post apoc why not a post genocide?
@dante_aurelius: @arquitenens:
Could be cool to see like maybe Avalon going against the Aurelius, perhaps do to their past and or some issue spawned from cybernetics and mercenary like work in general. Especially given that one could argue that they have a similar feel to the Wildcardz
@fraga:
I'm always up for tournaments. As for the other two ideas the third sounds a bit rough to pull off. I'm for it but designing these factions and fleshing them out is difficult and might require more world building then one wants especially as who knows if it'll stick. The second idea would be bad ass but I'd also want to see that as becoming cannon.
Maybe the characters are almost all incapable of continuing the fight in that universe and thus call on the NU counterparts to fill the roll(or at the least have that as an option). My biggest issue with alt universes being I get attached to what I'm doing then three weeks later events over but I'm left with an unused fascination :p
@fraga: I watched that movie kingsmen earlier today and it got me thinking. Instead of a post apoc why not a post genocide?
I thought this already happen?
@legendary_starhero: Not that I can remember. Which rpg are you talking about?
@_retrofire_: I like that idea. A genocide would be just as good. In fact, it'd have more sociopolitical consequences since civilization wouldn't necessarily have to be hit as hard as it would in an apocalypse so it gives society time to be warped by the experience of a genocide.
@arquitenens: Drop some suggestions, Zauby.
@alianette: LOL you won't need to flesh out the factions or do any significant world building because the factions won't be pre-existing ones. The RPG is set right after this apocalypse or whatever so its still ripe for the taking. There'd be no factions yet. The factions will form in the RPG basically with characters coming together for a common goal. Its not like having to create an entire thread with lore etc. for a team or location thread so don't worry about that.
I'd like for it to be canon too but that's asking for a lot. What we could do is port those alt. universe characters to the nU or have the alt. universe crossover with the nU in some way that could lead to more narratives.
@_retrofire_: I thought there was a mutant genocide to last year? Maybe I was thinking of something else.
@fraga: Exactly. Mass political and financial disruption that could be manipulated and lead to some wild power shifts. Monarchies to dictatorships, dictatorships to democratic rule. Doesn't stop on the political front though. If the event was something like a controlled natural disaster(Like an induced earthquake/s) it could shift whole land masses.
@_retrofire_: I thought there was a mutant genocide to last year? Maybe I was thinking of something else.
Probably was. I'm talkign about something unbiased just wiping out a percentage fo the entire population.
@alianette: To be honest I don't really know much about the family. Agenda, traits, moral compass, anything like that. Depending on what I learn in the event I start reading up, I could go after them with the corporation. [Or I might use the opportunity to indulge myself with some naughtiness and veer slightly off, use a character I hadn't in a while or someone newish. I dunno. Too much upstairs.]
@fraga:I'll think about them. Although I don't know how productive that thought will be, I will think. [My mind's all over the place, idea to idea to idea, lately. I think the end of school is doing me in.]
@fraga: Dude, I would go //ham// on all three of those.
I'll set one of those up soon :)
Hype intenseifies
@dante_aurelius: Sends someone after the whole family. At once.
Wow wow! We're not the Knightfalls! I don't think the entire world wants us dead lol.
@dante_aurelius: Sends someone after the whole family. At once.
Wow wow! We're not the Knightfalls!
You just wish you were as legendary ;P
@alexander_apex: Yes it is. David Ayer release this on his twitter page today. Jake G is not in this movie.
@alexander_apex: Yes it is. David Ayer release this on his twitter page today. Jake G is not in this movie.
He was suppose to replace Tom Hardy.
Edit: Guess he passed on the role.
@alexander_apex: Jake passed on the role of Flagg, which is being played by Joel Kinnaman now.
@alexander_apex: Glad you like the image.
