I was thinking of creating an RP centered around Police and mystery cases and whatnot. I had a couple of thoughts on what it'll be like.
No matter which approach to take, either of them would mostly require research. If we're taking the made-up side, I'd of course make some magic mechanics and want details. No divine beings. Any mythological creature made in a supernatural approach would require research to actually use. Any historic killer would need some research for their modus operandi (their preferred killing methods, signatures and etc.)
It'll be casual in nature, with a strict 0-tolerance for One-Liners. I don't want long posts like in detailed because the last time I looked at a detailed post, I got cross-eyed. I mean, I love to read, but this is ridiculous. At least a paragraph.
If anyone is interested, just tell me, and which approach you'd like to take. If you have any suggestions for an approach, just tell me
- Realistic- A normal one with seemingly normal people. This would take place in some place in the world in modern day time. Any special abilities would be of low influence, like enhanced speed or talking to animals. Any magic would be low-brow, with mostly utility usage or imbued within weapons.
Different time period- We could have characters set back in whatever time period
- Bounty Hunters- Our characters would be much rougher in comparison. We're looking at stronger and faster than average, but much more vicious criminals
- Realistic or Fantasy- Look at cases throughout history via time travel, but pretty normal otherwise. Maybe with historic serial killers. I believe players could take control of those characters. The settings would take place in different settings over time. If I decide to mix it in with more fantasy elements, it could take a steampunk turn.
More Realistic- The realistic side could feature just normal or slightly enhanced people travelling through time to solve any case.
- More Fantasy- It could be the same, but one could add on to the serial killer or criminal in question. They could give them a sort of magical influence, or give them a steampunk feel. For example, One could look at Jack the Ripper, and give them a magic element like Dark or Weapon Magic
- Fantasy- Magic would be a bigger thing here. However, no deities or world destroyers or anything like that. I'd want to keep it with criminals and solvable cases, not an extermination team. This one would take place in a futuristic setting where most species are accepted
Time Travel- If this takes time travel, we could solve an already solved case, but in an alternate made-up way. For example, one could take a solved case, and make it solved in a different way
- Supernatural- We could separate the normal human cases from supernatural cases. For example, we wouldn't take human-on-human crimes, but would if it's something like a necromancer or whatever mythological creature
- Mythology- We could look at mythological creatures, and different folklores.
