First off, please forgive me. I haven't done, well, anything as far as role playing or writing for some time. I'm likely rusty. :lew:

Anyway, I obviously have an idea for a role play. It's actually (loosely) based off of an old role playing chatroom RP I attended well over a decade ago. (My then-girlfriend and I created it, albeit unintentionally. Haha.) It lasted for quite a while, successfully, to say the least.

Here at FFF, I've actually created the two central characters (Shira and Jexel) in the 2015 RPG Tournament info/sign-up thread (by Noblesse Oblige), although their backgrounds/histories have been heavily revised since the old RP.

Some old RP info.
  • Took place in a medieval fantasy setting.
  • Shira was a princess of an ancient bloodline, and Jexel was initially a bounty hunter.
  • Shira and Jexel eventually had a daughter: Shiva.
  • A great war broke out when Shira became Empress of her continent.
    • Jexel was assassinated during said war.
  • Shiva eventually became Empress, after Shira went insane.
New/revised ideas for an ORP (so far).
  • New(ish) central character histories.
  • Implementing some kind of timeline element, but no time travel.
    • Shira's timeline is the "main" timeline for this story.
    • Jexel's timeline is a branch of the story's original, "main" timeline. Branching caused by a great event during this story.
  • Expanding upon the world and its people. (Continent names, regional names, rulers, races, etc.)
    • Member-driven world development. Meaning, those who join are free to develop further upon the world, such as adding areas/regions, cities/towns, NPCs, etc. (With some approval.)
  • Alignment system. (Lawful, Chaotic, Good, Neutral, and Evil.)
(New items will be bolded.)


I'd love input! Any comments, ideas, and/or questions would be more than awesome.

This sounds interesting. When would the RP take place? I've been wanting to start something with a medieval setting for a while! ^_^

Ideas for the story could be insane Shira gathering evil supporters to gaion her kingdom(or conquer the world?) back with a new war. I like what I see so far

With how I'm setting things up for this time around, it would primarily take place during fairly medieval times, with "technology" beginning to be created/discovered, and obviously with much magic and mysticism; that would be the era Shira resides in, too.

Jexel's era/time would be rather modern, but bordering on futuristic. Magic and mysticism are now mere myths. (Or are they?) This era won't be touched upon nearly as much, though.

The debate I'm having: a) if the two would be from the same timeline, or b) if Jexel's timeline is a "branch" of Shira's, due to some kind of great event along her timeline.

Funnily enough, in the old RP, it was Shiva that turned incredibly evil and power hungry. (She stabbed an innocent servant girl in the neck. :unsure:) Shira was eventually locked up somewhere "far away" from her old empire; deserters of Shiva's new imperial army searched for her, though. (Unfortunately, that's about where the old RP ended.)

It'd be an interesting switch-up for Shira to become a mad empress. :hmmm:

Updated the first post with some new information, which will be in bold text.
 
Another small update, which highlights a D&D-like alignment system. It could add much depth to character evolution.
 
Okay, it looks like I have a pretty open weekend, so I'm finally going to try get an info/sign-up thread up by Monday.
