Fantasy Discussing RP plot

[Origin]

Maybe in each town, assuming each town has a family power (wealth or royal), have a power specific to their family, different from the others?

I can also see a certain element or subclass of an element being taught or seen more in a wealthier family, such as lightning within fire element.

I really like the human oopsie of coming across a colony in the earth. this also has be subconsciously calling these monsters mole people, but I imagine they can survive well and fine overworld. I also like that the characters won't know about the queen or her agenda starting out

 

[TheSpeck]

Yes. Ok ok ok, so let's summarize some things so I can write it down before I forget.

Number 1. The creatures are of a hivemind that the humans came across while digging for gold/oil/whatever the heck they dig for. The queen has an agenda that we can figure out later. We can also figure out what they look like later.

Number 2. The setting is mideval and has a royal bloodline. The royals may have some sort of ability that Is passed generation to generation.

Number 3. There might be fantasy races such as elves? (Origin hasn't commented on this so I don't know)

Did I miss anything?

 

[Origin]

The royals live in one of 5/4 towns right and the other towns are probably ran by wealthy families? Each have their own power that run through their bloodline. The setting is medieval, no guns, and a big market and use for horses. The humans dug up the colony of monsters that terrorize them today, who are ran by a Queen with and agenda, both of which no one is aware of yet. We're discussing the races of the world, ais mentioning elves and you a made up race, I totally missed this sorry

 

[Origin]

What is you race you have in mind, I definitely think we should include humans, Elves would be interesting, they'd probably be folk that can last longer in the Wilds in comparison to other races.

I am gonna go ahead and say I dislike the idea of any kind of "dragon kin" or winged races unless those are monsters. That's not to say flight or wings can not be made via elemental ability.

 

[TheSpeck]

I don't think winged races would be a good idea either. As for other races, I'm not completely sure as of yet. I was thinking maybe we can discuss that in further detail and make up a few just for giggles.

I'm going to write this down in the main post and we can maybe move on to the royals, creatures, and races? If there's nothing else being discussed of course.

 

[aisling_beag]

Oops I was absolutely not getting notifications, my bad!

I just brought up different races since they're usually associated with medieval plots more often than not

 

[Origin]

I dunno if anyone is typing, i was trying to wait for someone else. I was also thinking that their is a bit of history/myth related to that incident of releasing the colony. They blamed one guy so humankind/peoplekind didn't have to blame themselves for also putting a hand in their frequent demise. And then someone, Likely whomever made the royal family royal, "saved" people, but really they just capitalized on a resource and corralling elementals to combat the monsters.

I don't think we should have too many races, maybe 3 or 4 maximum. I'm open to what kinds of races y'all are interested in.

 

[TheSpeck]

Yea that's a good idea. I'ma leave y'all to discuss some things for a moment (or not), I've gotta be right back.

 

[Origin]

What kind of races are you interested in aisling_beag ?

 

[aisling_beag]

The only one I would be mostly interested in were perhaps fauns/saytrs, as I already have a village and system set up for that, otherwise i'm not opposed to anything!

 

[Origin]

Ok I really think fauns/satyrs would be super cool in this! I don't see that race suggested or played enough honestly.

Humans, elves/fae (no wings, serve the same nature motif), satyrs/faunas, if we do one more maybe dwarves, I think they're underrated, but I am also fine with 3 races.

 

[aisling_beag]

they're definitely my preferred race to use when I'm in any type of fantasy chat; that or nymphs

 

[TheSpeck]

OOooo saytrs/fauns are really cool, love the idea

 

[TheSpeck]

I think elves/fae with no wings, satyrs, dwarves, and humans are good. I do have to head to bed now, we can discuss what the creatures look like in the morning (or you guys can then I'll come back and read what you come up with)

 

[Origin]

me too, I am growing a bit tired so I may be slow to reply, but I know myself and I'll probably be up for the next couple of hours

 

[aisling_beag]

very much falling asleep rp, so i'm bouta head out

 

[TheSpeck]

Good morning everyone! I know y'all are probably busy but I wanted to start on creating the creatures. I was thinking they could have a disgusting look, not as mystical and more of an animal then a ghost like being or something that's supernatural. Maybe a four legged creature so they can run fast.

 

[Origin]

yeah, a four legged creature that can also stand on it's hind legs (like bears do).

 

[TheSpeck]

Oo yes. Should they kind of Have a dog like structure? And should they be big medium or small (big being maybe bear size, medium being wolf size, small being maybe a small deer or a large rabbit)

 

[aisling_beag]

I think the bigger they are, the scarier and more menacing they would be, creating more terror for those who live in the world

 

[Origin]

Maybe they can come in different size and there's 2-3 different kinds of monsters?

one being more common than the other?

 

[TheSpeck]

That's a good idea. Maybe one medium one small and one large, the medium being the most common?

 

[TheSpeck]

Y'all wanna discuss plot ideas (like the story) when you guys are able to?

 

[Origin]

what were you thinking for the story? I'm thinking a larger reward/pay for a team to be assembled to hunt these things or protection from them? If not people, icly, are interested they have to go through a few tests or something similar to a tournament battle to determine if they are worth anything against the monsters? Or it starts off as a prize for taking care of nearby monsters that hardly anyone wants to do because they're hard to fight of course, but several people who need or want the money fight over taking the monsters so they try racing and beating them to the punch, but they'll end up being a team later.

 

[TheSpeck]

OOooo those are good ideas. Maybe there's a reward for killing the monsters, and they all start going for it but they realize there are so many more creatures then they expected so they all band together in an attempt to save themselves instead of trying for the bounty? Then maybe they try to go for the queen or something? But we need more then that, that would just be the base plot. Maybe throw in some corrupted people and presidents to thicken the plot a bit
