The Role Play Idea thread
So, there isnt a RP debate thread(as far as my skim search of HC has proven) so i have decided to take it upon myself to make it.
Its understandable that you dont want to share your ideas but this thread is for those that do.
You post stuff here like you would post your regular RP thread.
If you are doing several in one post separate them with --------.
The grade scale for every RP is as follows:
First three are 1 to 10
The next to are 1 to 10 with coments
The last is Yes/No and why(optional)
Achievability: (the likeliness that the thread will live a good life span)
Creativity: (it takes Rping to new heights, and to new topics.)
Hardyness: (likeliness that the role play will not stop due to a troll who has sabotaged the RP or to a player who has gone inactive)
Genre: (What genre it puts in your mind, rate how much you believe in your choice.)
Flaws: (tell the author of any flaws the story might have and rate on how big they are.)
Would you play this RP?
Yes/No - Why
i have provided some of my own ideas for you to rate.
-asuming its not for this forum  -
Questing for Glory(OOC- The Holy Grail)
Please listen to this music while reading(flavoring)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWBmgMnP-D0
"Come one, Come all, the holy grail awaits! But take heed warriors, knights, and foul demons, for this be not a journey for faint fools, or pleasant peasants. Many difficulties await those fool enough to seek out the Grail. Hundreds of Travelers have clashed, all Questing for Glory."
Our story takes place in the Heroes of Might and Magic 3(Homm3) universe.
There are 9 factions.
Are the Humans that worship a god like entity. They use the Griffin as theyre main symbol.
They inhabit the continent know as Erathia.
To give you a preview of how they look like i made a lineup of creatures
 
Pikeman and Halberdier
The bulk of the Erathian army is composed of these loyal foot soldiers. Theyre job has been described by many as "walking in front of the enemy so that the real men get a shot at killing the demons"
 
Archer and Marksman
Marksmen are particularly famed for theyre speed. Many have been know for shooting twice where as a regular archer shoots only once.
This has frustrated many archers, giving them a reputation for working hard and being persistent.
 
Griffin and Royal Griffin
The Griffin has made a big impression on the Erathians, leading to them calling the Griffins the tools of gods. They are on every soldiers uniform, and many generals who have earned theyre respect, ride the griffin.
 
Swordsman and Crusader
These are the shock troops of the empire. They are not known for speed, but they will often dispatch of an enemy in less than 2 blows
 
Monk and Zealot
Erathians are very religious.
 
Cavalier and Champion
No coment
 
Angel and Archangel
[font=red]Note: you may not use Angel as your character because then it would be unfair.
(Also, the angels seemed to have left the empire for the time being)
The wizards, they live in the snow caped mountains of the world.
List of units found :http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturestower.shtml
[font=red]Note: you may only be a sentient creature
The mortal enemy of Erathia
List of units found :http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturesinferno.shtml
A collection of beings that live in the swamp.
The Gnolls are humanoid horses(they look like horses to me anyhow )
Lizardmen are the bulk of society in the swamp.
List of units found : http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturesfortress.shtml
Yes, dwarves live in hills not in mountains over here
List of units found : http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturesrampart.shtml
The Dungeon overlords are ruthless and evil. Many different breeds of creatures live underground.
List of units found : http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturesdungeon.shtml
Mortal enemies to the swamps, the green skins fight along side rocs, the cyclops and behemoths(constructs of dust and bone)
List of units found : http://www.heroesofmightandmagic.com/heroes3/creaturesstronghold.shtml
Conflux
They usually live in warm climates. The elementals are sentient beings, they control theyre own destiny.
They are know as the planes walkers.
The Phoenix has disappeared from the world centuries ago and may be the subject of a future RP.

Dreamers(ooc)
One of the first realistic RPs I have ever made
The idea is simple.
We all play as individuals who have a big imagination. We daydream anywhere, any time.
The sole purpose of this RP is to be outrageously funny.
How to have a daydream:
There are many different ways to have day dreams.
You can picture your character doing something regular and have something funny/crazy to happen.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8v2mEg9Cpvs
watch from 1:47-2:17
The Rp formant will be something like this.
Dave was walking on the sidewalk after a rainy day.(normal actions are said in narrative and plain text)
You ever get the feeling that your sinking after a rainy day when the air is still wet?(Italianic will be used to indicate thoughts of your character, thoughts and normal actions happen at the same time.)
There was a giant puddle right in front of him.
Ahh what the ****. ...(three bold/italianic dots means that the thought happens before an action)
He lifted one foot and stepped in the puddle.
Dave fell head first into the puddle and sunk from sight. He reemerged through another puddle on the other side of the street.
“Was that a whale?” said a soaked Dave.
*Fwoosh*(indicates the end of a day dream, meaning that your character is looking up into space and is resuming normal head position)
“I think im gona call him Hammy.”(you can put random sentances at the end of daydreams to make it even funnier.)
If you chose to add music or other effects to a moment like this
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zChxv5i34CM
watch from 1:15-end
The Rp format will be:
Every year, the hospital has a treasure hunt, the treasure always being a golden apple.
Dave walked by the help desk and saw the door open on one of the side corridors.
There was a brilliant, gold light radiating from a yellow apple that sat on a cart.(The gold light isnt real, its just part of your imagination.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAH2IEIiO9I(music is played, I couldent find any holy music)
Dave started to run in slow motion.
You see, the reason I was in such a hurry was that the doctor that found the apple got to go to Mexico for the weekend.
Dave outstretched his arms but a mop pops out from nowhere and trips him up(still slowmotion)
Dave lay sprawled on the floor and the janitor kneels and says:
“Wooh, so close heh.” said the janitor who got up and moved the cart.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ontybmyZCFc -fffush-(indicates switching scene)
(first few seconds of music)
Sumary: Green is daydreaming, red is for its happening but not quite like the way your describing it, italianic is for thoughts(also blue is for someone elses thoughts) Thanks to common sense we know that bold is to emphasize a point. Thoughts before an action means that theyre happening at the same time unless there are three dots. Three bold/italianic dots means that the thought happens before an action. Action before thought naturally means that the thought is happening after said action.
Regular daydreaming/flash back is just-
*Fwoosh*(character looks up into space with an expression that he/she is thinking)
<text>
*Fwoosh*(character resumes normal mode)
-random sentence-
In the real life you can range from a completely bland and boring staff or an unpredictable and crazy staff.
You create the NPCs. In daydreaming you can control ANYONE that you need to make your daydream funny.
To join you need to make a character. The following needs to be filled out.
Name:
Appearance:
Job:
Age:
Description personality)
Backgroundcan be as short as you want)
Notes: A bunch of actions will be happening simultaneously you really need to use your imagination on some stuff here.
We will all be in the same place geographically(lets suppose its somewhere in America seeing as we all know english and I got no idea how it is in Britain)
If were not working in the same place, we will at least meet on occasion.
This is inspired by the scrubs tv series(fwi).

Da Ork RP(ooc)
“OI! Listen up ya gits!”
“BrikSmasha just got 'imself some new tunelas from da' mekboys!”
“And ye best be getin in tem, or yer gona find yer head on me pointy stik!”
“You Gotz it?” said the Ork who stared down a smaller ork.
“OI!” The ork points a gun at the narator and *Blweeeh*
“We dont use fancy humie tolk, cuz we iz orks! “ sed the big ork, yellin it strait in yer face.
“An if ye dont know how ta be un ork, OPEN YER EARS!” tolked da big Nob((bigger ork)) who jus' took a wax out o' iz ear.
“An ye cant go round an go joinin any humies eitha!” he sed shotin an ork who wuz changin into a space marine.
“Im da only Nob 'ere so yer outa luck!” he sed punchin an ork who wuz growin fast.
“Um, boss weze getin all shot up!” sed an ork who wuz firring at some puny humies on da .
“Gah, gets out me way, this be the 41st millennium and there be only WAAAGH!”
(This RP is full of Ork language. As you can tell, orks are not the brightest bunch. You can only be an ork in this RP or an ork related race. Why not allow other races in on it? Because it is the 41st millennium and there is only war.)
------
-inspired by The settlers-
The Settlers, Life in your village(OOC)
This is an RP thats on a daily basis, Some 10-15 minutes per day will do, theres gona be lots of interaction between characters, we meet daily and talk, sometimes we have contests, bets, the stuff you would want in medieval entertainment. To keep it fresh comedy should be inserted as often as you can find the inspiration for it.
Example: You enter to see a squirel in your workshop with a carved walnut, A greatly prized family heirloom. You lunge to catch the squirel but it evades your grasp and hops out the open window.
You jump out of the window and follow it. The squirel jumps into a tall tree, walnut in mouth and climbs the tree. Overcome with panic, you go to ask for help.
Theres always work to go around, invite someone to see you do it so you can explain it to them, and you can have an apprentice or two to give a helping hand. Hunting parties go in the woods once per week, maybe some gold might have been buried under the dirt of the river as an old village tale says. But thats just stories.
The village is also a passing point from the big town up north to the docks near west so funny characters come along from time to time. Such as knights who have come to ask for the hand in marriage of the princes and is performing tricks for the villagers to see Or maybe a wealthy trader from the Westerlin islands who offers a sword to the highest bidder.
Theres a tavern in the middle of the village so some pass-by characters stay for a day before moving on.
I will include Lore posts with my regular ones.
To Excite you I have one prepared right here:
Class- Empire Archer
The lands in the<working>
I think this RP would be better off without magic, but thats open for the vote.
Even if the vote turns for magic, the only race available is human.(NPCs are debatable)
Always open, come and join.
----
I hope to see lots of critics as well as contributors

Addressing these one at a time, in order. (So expect this post to be updated tomorrow with the next one).
Achievability: 6.
Creativity: 8
Hardyness: 5 No game will get very high for me, a powergamer can wreck ANY game.
Genre: Fantasy.
Flaws: Homm RPGs don't seem to survive well, despite this being a Homm forum. (And it comes accross as a Homm RPG)
Would you play this RP?No...maybe. Most of the ones I've seen similar to this have the 'powergamer' flaw. Everybody has to be bigger, better, badder then everybody else. I would be hesitant to join in something like that.

Hmmm... I always liked modern/sci-fi setting RPs that accent mental powers. I personally had made one, but allas, no one was interested in it(I blame my lack of writing skills) 
I'd really would be interested in joining something similiar to that described earlier.
