    Laurasiasn can be anything that can exist within fantasy and not our reality (excluding overpowered stuff to not break the game). Thus, as in fantasy mages are usually human, there are human Laurasians, keep in mind though that they're different than Gondwanian's humans regarding idiologies, phisiology (they look like humans though), etc. and they're enemies of the Gondwanians. Also a mage doesn't necessarily have to be physically weak.

    Story:
    The world has changed over the course of hundreds of years. Humans have learned more about themselves, and what they're capable of, war has been absolute for about 200 years, and technological advancments have never been growing faster. The Human Race itself has also advanced, evolved tremendously since the early 21 century. Human technology had advanced so far that a new project started. It was called "New World". The purpose of this project were to give humans very special skills, it seemed as if it was a comic book story. And send them off to space. To explore 5 hand picked planets that were thought and proven to be habital for life.

You are to finish whatever quests you and the group have gotten themselves into. You can do anything, while the main plot of the story moves on, becoming evil, you have the option to do anything in these new worlds you will be exploring.

    THE IMORTALS:

    Princes of the Universe


    "Here we are, born to be kings

    We're the Princes of the Universe

    Here we belong, fighting to survive

    In a world with the darkest powers"


    THE PLOT

    You will be an Immortal who awakens with no memory, only in time through visions and dreams will you discover your past life. What will you do with the power of Immortality? Will you hide your powers and live amongst the mortals, will you find love, or will you absorb the strength and power of other Immortals by decapitating them and consuming their raw power within?! As you discover your power you are faced with the responsibilities that come with it. Two charismatic leaders will attract the wise and the wicked to follow; can peace exist. Or can there be only one?


    THE STORY

    A Highlander Style Roleplay. This won't be based on any of the Highlander Movies or TV series but is inspired completely by them. An explosion in a Laboratory creates an opportunity for several men and to escape imprisonment. Blank minds are forced to trust and depend on each other in the bustling city. Two men are sought out by a professor claiming to have caused the fire that set them free, and his mansion in the Hollywood hills is the only safe haven to protect them. Promising safety and shelter the group have no choice but to trust him.

    They must hide their identities to survive. Be warned of THE WATCHERS for they will only exploit the Immortals and hunt them down. They strive desperately to find a way to end this disease that plagues mankind as NO man nor women should have the power of Gods. The Zealots are responsible for collecting this group over centuries and they will undoubtedly seek revenge for the intentional fire.

    Hiding is surviving. Normal Jobs and regular lives must become these students of the professor to keep them alive, The Watchers will notice any acts from the foolish.

    In time the two charismatic leaders lean to polar sides of the professor, and the group follows their lead. The "Good" withdraw to one side of the mansion as the "Chatoic" misuse their power and fall to corruption. After the murder of the Professor and several of the Imortals, the "Good" retreat and find themselves surrounded on all sides by enemies.


    THE SETTING

    Los Angeles, California.

    The sunny beaches and all year round mild weather are a welcome to many. Sandy beaches and palm trees line the landscape of this golden metropolis. From the Foundation Laboratory in busy downtown to the rolling Hollywood Hills, there will be a big city to disappear in or stand out like a sore thumb. It is June 2018 and peak of fire season. The Santa Anna winds sweep through the valleys with blasts of hot air from dry desert lands.




    The Factions


    THE WATCHERS:

    These religious zealots view the immortals as the curse of the devil. They seek to wipe the earth with their Holy light and see the One God, Jehovah exterminate the demonic immortals for eternity. Equipped with swords specially designed for decapitation it isn't just death they seek but extermination of these demons on earth.


    THE WISE:

    They realize the key to survival is responsibility. Staying hidden and becoming the shadow of the mundane. They follow the sheep and avoid being noticed at any cost, the higher the risk the greater the danger. Abiding by the Professor and the laws they maintain employment and spend their free time reading, watching tv, or on social media.


    THE WICKED:

    They refuse to follow the law, they could care less if their gifts are exposed. Their true identities prevent them from being mere sheep in line. They scream and shout to the world may their greatness be known. Irresponsible, reckless and many times hurled into news headlines. They will be their own Kings and Queens and defy the one god by name. They will not hide under rock but sit in thrones of gold.



    NPC's (Non Player Characters):

    The Professor

    The Mayor

    The Chief of Police



    THE RULES:

    There is ONE major rule. NO GOD MODDING

    There are NO other rules after that this will be an Adult/Mature Roleplay catering the 18+ demo graph meaning there is no restriction to language, nudity, sex, or graphic violence. All crimes committed will be pursued by local police In Character. (After reading your forum rules I understand to post on your boards I may need to modify)


    You will be expected to put in your stories as a progression of finding out who you are. Once the story begins the end of each week will be what Admins judge your entries on. Your quality not quantity of RP will determine the length of your stay in the story. Your Character will die, as the story progresses characters will engage in battle these battle will be published every Monday night and that will determine your fate.


    Amins :

    Frank Wesche

    Bret Mason

    3 more positions open for grading RPs



    (While awaiting approval for RP Character sheets will be created)

    I thought of an 'American Horror Story: Coven' based roleplay game, if you guys like it then I'll be dedicated to making it as awesome and scary as can be. ;)

    ...

    COVEN


    The Story

    Witches have been hunted/lynched/drowned/tortured/burned in almost every continent across the world throughout history. Persecuted for centuries by religious fanatics, ignorant fools, and the League of Witchhunters. Recently, the SUPREME WITCH (Fiona Fox) and the VOODOO QUEEN (Marie Laveau) joined forces to destroy the League, and the next Supreme Witch (Fiona's daughter, Cordelia Fox) brought the Coven into a new age of openness and power. Cordelia exposed the Coven to the world in an exclusive interview with Fox News, and went on a tour of every news/entertainment show telling everyone about witches and that there was no reason to fear them.

    That was a lie. There was every reason to fear the Coven.

    With proper preparation and a few spells, the Supreme Witch alone could take down any government, any army or nation, like a child knocking over dominoes. But it wouldn't be good if the general public knew that, because then the Witch Hunts would start all over again. Which is why Cordelia was struggling to cooperate with the African-American sorcerers (the Voodoo Tribe), and make peace with the Witches' Council (who were upset that Cordelia revealed the Coven without consulting them first), and run a school for young witches...at the same time.

    But Cordelia has a bad feeling that exposing the Coven has brought about a series of events that could end in bloodshed...



    The Plot

    You are a young witch who has just discovered your supernatural talents, and has enrolled in Miss Cordelia's Academy for Teen Witches. Your first post will detail the moment you discovered you had powers and your journey to New Orleans to enroll in the Academy. You will wait outside the gate of the school and the GM (myself) will move the story along when I post.



    Terminology

    The Supreme Witch (or 'the Supreme' in short) -- an extremely powerful witch who has passed the test of the Seven Wonders and is made the leader of the Coven. A Supreme is healthy and immune to all illnesses and ailments until a new Supreme comes into their powers. Once a new Supreme starts to flower, the old Supreme begins to wilt and die as their life force flows into their successor. It follows that if a Supreme is murdered, their successor will immediately come into full power. (A Supreme does not have to be related to the previous Supreme; the Supremacy can pass to any witch across the world.)

    The Seven Wonders -- the name given to the seven most powerful magic abilities:
    Concilium (Mind Control)
    Telekinesis (Self-explanatory)
    Pyrokinesis (Self-explanatory)
    Transmutation (Teleportation)
    Vitalus Vitalum (The act of breathing life into a dead person)
    Divination (Knowing the past, future, or present)
    Descendium (Traveling into the Underworld in astral form and returning safely)

    The Witches' Council -- A judicial council of powerful witches who help the Supreme govern the Coven and deal out justice if any witch commits a crime. One of the vilest crimes a witch can commit is killing another a witch; the Witches' Council will burn any witch who kills a fellow witch. The Council technically works for the Supreme, but if the Supreme does not fulfill her duty or grievously harms another witch, the Council will not hesitate to punish her.

    The Protectors -- The Protectors are the car drivers, airplane pilots, manservants and bodyguards of the Coven. They officially work for the Council, but are sometimes loaned to the Supreme for extra protection in times of crisis. Also, they are trained in mixed martial arts, can operate various modes of transportation, and are proficient with any weapon from a sword to an AK-47. Protectors are traditionally African Albinos. African Albinos, like witches, have been viciously persecuted all over Africa by their own people and the Coven took in them in and took care of them and made them Protectors. The Protectors are a small group of a hundred Albinos, but more qualified than any army. Their uniform is a modern black and white tuxedo with slim black ties and blacked-out sunglasses.

    The Voodoo Tribe -- A group of African-American sorcerers that reside in the urban part of New Orleans. They practice Voodoo, a religion derived from ancient occult practices that were practiced in Africa for thousands of years. (In colonial times, the Salem witches were taught magic by Tituba, a black slave who happened to be a powerful sorceress.) The Voodoo practitioners do not get along with the Coven, and vice versa, but recently they are trying to make peace with each other.

    Witch or Sorcerer/Sorceress -- A blanket term for any person with magical abilities.



    Gameplay

    At the beginning of the game you will start with one power. You can chose a power from the list of the Seven Wonders, or you can make up a unique power. It can be anything you can think of, but it will have to be approved by the GM (myself) first. Message me your Character Template for approval before posting it on the Discussion Thread. There will be three chapters to this game. After each chapter, every player will be able to make up 2 new powers for their character. During a fight, each person will be given a chance to attack and the GM will determine how successful the attacks are.

    In the last chapter, each character will have seven powers and everyone will have a chance to attempt the Test of the Seven Wonders to see who will be...the next SUPREME WITCH.

    Just a random idea I had.

    Story:
    This is a Percy Jackson fanfiction. It is several years after the end of Percy Jackson and most of the characters from those books have moved on and left camp half blood. However, a new evil is rising. Older, darker and stronger than anything anyone has faced before. No one truly knows what it is, they only call it the Evil Master.

    But, hope is rising with a group of half-bloods from both camps. They are training hard, determined to face the new evil. The story begins at your camp, whichever one you choose, and is mainly about the fighting against the evil.

    Plot:
    You are a demigod from one of the two camps who has been chosen, you didn't chose this, someone else chose you, to train and fight the Evil Master.

    Rules:

    1. No God moding

    2. No controlling other peoples characters. If you want to do a scene with them, PM them and write a collab post.

    3. Try to keep cussing to a minimum.

    4. Your character can die in combat, so be prepared for that.

    5. Don’t kill AI’s without permission from me first.

    It seems like people just keep posting RP ideas instead of supporting ideas that already exist, lol...

    My guess is its inactive because all the available roleplayers are wrapped up in the three games that are already going on. They probably won't be free to do another game until those games end.

    A story I thought of recently. I don't know if anyone will be interested but thought it was worth posting just to see.

    The City of Death

    Story:

    The City wasn’t always this way. Infact, before Seth Morgan came along, the city was a happy and gentle place. But that was a long time ago.

    Seth Morgan was a royal, a boy from a wealthy and noble family, but had always been different to the other royals. Quieter, for one thing, and more easily angered, but his family still agreed to raise him. He was their son, after all.

    But nothing prepared them for what was to happen next. Seth was wandering the streets, having once again escaped his guards, and was being picked on by the leader of a gang of dirty schoolboys. They didn’t think he would be a good fighter, having come from a family of royals, but he surprised them when he started attacking the boy nearest him. He was strong for his size, and easily beat the entire gang. When he started attacking the leader, he got so blinded by his anger that he lost control of what he was doing and killed the boy. He was fourteen years old at the time.

    Seth was cast from his home and sent to live in the streets as a hated and ridiculed outcast. He survived by stealing food and money. He never forgave his family, though, and when he was sixteen he formed a group with a few other street orphans and gave them the name the Guild of Assassins. Their main job was to take out the royals, but as the guild got larger and larger, a new group was formed. The guards.

    The guards worked closely with the royals, and fought the GoA. Though they managed to kill several assassins, they have never managed to catch Seth, and bring him forward for a public execution. The royals knew they could never be safe until Seth was dead and the GoA disbanded.

    The guards were run by Brooke Morgan, Seth’s twin sister. The two are complete opposites of each other, and though they never wanted to kill each other, Brooke feels more loyal to the guards than she does to her brother, and will do whatever it takes to keep the royals and the guards safe, even if it means the death of her own brother.

    Classes:

    Assassin: The GoA (Guild of Assassins) is a wide spread guild that has various small groups scattered around the city. The guild takes in street orphans and trains them up to be ruthless killers. The older ones train the younger ones, and in a way they behave like a family, all taking care of a looking out for each other.

    But the GoA isn’t a soft and loving place. To live there you need to prove your worth, to be able to fight hard, run fast and kill silently. They are mortal enemies of the guards and the royals, and often the older assassins will take out a few of the guards just to prove a point.

    They are tough, heartless and loyal to only people of their own class.

    Guard: The guards work closely with the royals, and are a highly trained, lawful group of men and woman. They are much more organised than the assassins, but aren’t as close friends as the assassins are. They work more like an army, and less like a family.

    They are strong, loyal to the guards and to the royals, and serve in the protection of the city.

    Royal: These are people from noble birth who don’t often get into fights, but help control the guards and the law of the city. The leaders of the royals are Jude and Elizabeth Morgan, the parents of Seth and Brooke. The royals are the main target of the assassins, and aren’t often allowed to wander the streets alone for fear of being killed.

    They are powerful, protected and very wealthy.

    @EVERYONE!!! That I have and have not played with!

    UNTITLED GAME/Rough ish Draft!

    Plot

    The first alien to arrive on Earth was exactly seventy three years ago at in Roswell New Mexico in 1947. The saucer that crashed contained an alien infant whom was quickly taken into government custody and brought up as an American citizen.

    The man code named Magnificent Man debuted on the world in 1967 as an enforcer for the government during the radical period and as a message to any enemies the USA had. Despite being a tool for the government he was also was a force for general good such as stopping plane crashes in midair, stopping major robberies, shootouts and various other crimes. Of course with the emergence of this caped god among men who strong armed for the man in the white house it was only a matter of time before more of his kind began to come.

    And come they did.

    Not his kind in species but more men and women in costumes began to pop up all over the world, some of them random human vigilantes and others even more foreign to the world then Magnificent Man himself.

    As the years went on more and more of the costumed types emerged.....some of then not even bothering to where any sort of spandex or take on a code name. The public of course referred to them as heroes but for all the good they did stopping random thugs, the world soon gave rise to meta humans that were just glorified criminals.

    A man who robbed banks using the weather, alien doppelgangers who needed to feed on human flesh to survive, women part of a secret cult of so called magi and many more twisted figures and started to become a huge domestic threat.

    And it’s been that way ever since.

    Heroes and villains battling it out on the streets.

    ---

    Now

    Meta humans have not become a common place in society in the year 2020 and the public knowledge of being not alone in the universe has been devastating and helpful to humanity. Alien technology from various species both friend and foe have been able accessed to advance industry and medicine like never before.

    Of course this has advanced weaponry for hero, villain and the military. In recent months the conflicts between the superheroes and criminals (both super and other wise) has grown much more intense, ever since the superhero Bolt executed a serial offender on live television.

    This has finally resulted in the tipping scale in a long standing debate about the effectiveness of meta humans for enforcing the law thus a new policy has been passed.

    Only meta humans who are registered heroes with the government can act in lawful manner, vigilantes and super villains will be hunted down and imprisoned in Alcatraz or of course killed if their threat level is high enough.

    Tensions are high as a meta human war brews among government heroes, non sanctioned heroes and villains. Of course there is far more than meets the eye then a simple super powered civil war underneath the surface.

    Factions

    There are many superhero and villain factions in the world but the most known is no doubt the Golden Alliance. The Golden Alliance is the collected form of heroes whom are currently working for various governments and independent agencies all over the world to assist in the containment and capture of other meta humans. Golden Alliance is made of very prominent members of the hero community including being headed by none other then Magnificent Man, you the player can create your own super hero or villain groups for your hero and of course let one develop naturally but you can also be a member of the Golden Alliance depending which road you go down.

    Classes

    Class D
    : The street level heroes and villains are 90 percent of the time humans with incredible athletic ability and fighting technique. If they have powers it certainly wouldn’t be anything that gave them a boost into the next class.

    The street leveler normally employs things such as detective skills, gadgets, custom cars, weaponry, smart tactics, martial arts and things such as that. But of course none of this is set in stone and you can make your street level superhero/villain however you like.

    Class C: The class D meta humans are more or less considered to have the destructive capacity a military company.Normally at 15-30 ton strength levels but also various other powers and or abilities could put them into this level. Their durability range varies slightly above that of an average human (for example a slow healing factor or maybe an immunity to bullets but not explosives.)

    They are going either be much faster and stronger then Class E or have some sort of other powers or gadget that put them on this level.

    Class B aka Class 100:
    Heroes and villains on this scale in terms of strength normally range from 50-100 tons (though maybe a little higher in some instances)
    In destructive capacity they could probably rival that of a fleet of fighter jet or even a fleet of them and move speeds on par or just above them. Durability varies once again from that of reinforced tank to skyscarper level.

    Class A aka Magnificent Class: (LOCKED from Player usage at start) This class is of course recovered for meta humans whom can match or rival Magnificent Man in combat or destructive capability. There are only a handful of people and beings on Earth with this level of power would. They are very easily at mountain busters with durability on city scale.

    It would take multiple heroes of lower classes to take down one class meta human.

    Final Note on Classes: Don't worry even if you pick a lower class you can still fight against higher classes if you play it smart with tech or exploit the enviroment or weaknesses. It should also be noted that there is no rule or anything when it comes to the powers and the class you pick.

    The classes are pretty much to get an estimation on the level of your skills and or powers.


    Powers Types

    I’m going allow you all to be very free with these options, any powers or anything like that you want you can use as long as it’s not game breaking or anything of the sort. So of course things like telepathy, super strength, super speed, master of various martial arts, pyro manipulation or just ANYTHING! Anything you've seen in the comics or movies or in your head is free for you to explore

    Of course there are many types of way of executing these skills or well more example how you use your powers.

    Science: Are you able to harness the powers of an ant because of a freak lab accident or perhaps you're a genius inventor who's made a power suit. This type is a true and blue science hero who uses advancements tech or the gifts they were given in a weird turn of events and things of that nature or maybe you were experimented on.

    Birth: This is pretty self-explanatory. It means your meta human gifts come from birth as opposed to any accident or training. Is it possible you come from a family who are secretly the descants of a race long forgotten or perhaps you can control ice due to a genetic mutation?

    It is up to you how you want your character to have been born with his/her abilities.

    Magic: For all those fantasy and magical buffs out there of course is the mystical power set. Maybe you were taught spells and combat magic as you are part of a secret order of mages or perhaps you discovered an ancient artifact that gifted you your abilities.

    This is a class for the player whom loves using fantasy wizards, cackling witches, magical superheroes and hardboiled occultists.

    Alien: Do you come from an alien spieces and get your host of powers from your out of this world origin?

    Some of these power type classes can be used together and that will be further explained in the CS's

    Alcatraz

    Alcatraz in this world has been redesigned and extremely expanded into a meta human prison for the worst and most dangerous super human offenders with various cells and pods dedicated to keeping single prisoners on maximum lockdown.

    The prison guards are all humanoid drones all nearing Class B in terms of power.

    No meta human is yet to escape the compound.

    Characters

    You'll be allowed to play as a superhero or a super villain.

    Basically there are three categories.

    Golden Alliance/Registered Hero: This is a superhero who has registered with the law and abides by the strict government policy to capture and contain super villains and vigilantes. You will also be a member of the Golden Alliance which is the strongest superhero force on the planet.

    If you play in the class you will be allowed to attempted to arrest other heroes or may get ordered to so but you will also have much more resources. The Golden Alliance tries to keep eyes on the street with various heroes doing legwork (or flight work) and drones that monitor criminals of all kinds and the streets.

    Vigilante Heroes: Superheroes who refuse to work within the law or side with government such as a hero who doesn't mind killing if he makes a bust (even if the enemy has given up) or meta human who isn't to keen on handing over his life to the Golden Alliance and the government.

    With this you'll be your own man but hunted down by both police and the GA plus likely hated by the public due to negative media.

    Super villains: Or do you wanna just play as a good old fashion super crook who is in it to win it! The mad doctors, the super bank robbers, the greedy fellows rich businessmen, meta thugs for hire or any kinda bad guy you want to tell a story with.



    Starting



    The game will begin in Alamance City a city in the Northeast which was help constructed with the meta human in mind. It is a utopia rivaling that of New York in terms of skyscraper size and due to it being home to many of the heroes (Alamance, New York, LA and other major cities are where they tend to be stationed). As this city was designed with the super humans in mind the city is the most advanced city in the US currently.

    But as it is a hot zone for meta humans it of course attracts the more nasty types.....which will bring us to our intro, which for a supehero game is probably the most cliche start but a classic way nonetheless. A large mechanical nightmare will show up in Alamance and no doubt grab the attention of your characters, we'd go from there.

    Game will start with instant action

    CS's and Character


    Real Name: (PM it to me but keep it blank if you want to keep identity from players as well but if not feel free to post it)

    Codename: (Your superhero or super villian name

    BIO: (Up to you how deep you want to go into it)

    Class:

    Power Type: (What is your main power type)

    Secondary Power type: (This is optional but for example if you wanted to have an alien who had a combo of the powers from his homeworld and from a science accident or someone born with a genetic mutation of mystical powers.)

    Powers: (Simply give a detailed a run down of the powers your character has be it spells they can use or the super strength they have or the ice they can control. I'm alright with your character having a combination of powers just as long as you don't do anything insanely overpowered)

    Skills: (Things such as martial arts, detective skills, cooking, great at math etc)

    Vigilante hero, Golden Alliance or super villain: (Which are you?)

    Wellllp

    I figure we've done crime and epic fantasy.....anybody want to have some DC, Marvel, Wildstorm, Tokusatsu and all kinds of other superheroics.
    Soooooo

    Is a rough ish sketch of the game, I'm probably going to work the powers system a little more and maybe change starting up a bit but that's pretty much general basis, anybody wanna do it?

    So I was wondering if anyone wanted to play the sort of game that I used to play a lot and haven't played in for literally ever.

    The idea centers around the following:

    Everyone wakes up on an island. The island is quite large. Nobody knows how they got there (except for the GM, obviously). They have to figure it out and also figure out how to get *off* the island without subsequently killing one another.

    Along the way your character will have to contend with things that NEVER happen on their home world. How does a high schooler cope with the knowledge that somewhere out there in the multiverse, magic is real? How does a dragon tamer fend for themselves without their dragon? How does a character from a vast desert cope with forests and oceans? If you don't know, well, it's time to find out!

    There would be rules of course such as "no having characters with ridiculous powers/healing abilities" but this sort of story is usually fun because just about any character from any setting can play a part. They're awesome if run well, and I can run one well. I did one of these that lasted something like six years in various sequels until it finally died.

    Would anyone be interested?

    A noob?

    Any of the currently active RPs need players except dog days. And nobody will be posting in Dual Minds for a while.

    Well, that's why you merely ask a GM how to jump in. :p We don't just bite people's heads off ya know, most of our RPs remain open unless we're nearing the Endgame.

    Hi @Lancie! Welcome to the RP section of Writing Forums, we're happy to have you with us! :D

    Like mmrage said you can ask the one who has started the game if you aren't sure how to jump in. Feel free to message me too if you have other questions about how RP works around here, I'd be glad to help.

    And, @scd250, I think that sounds like a great game! Maybe you could write up a detailed game sheet so that everyone has more of an idea of what to expect? :)
