In a modern world, gods live and have influence over humans and their choices. Mankind lives and dies by their word, will, and favor. It's not a secret that these super-beings exist, in fact they have shaped modern society from behind and in front of the government and corporations, leading humans to the delusional idea that we have a so-called "free will" and choice. Man, for the most part, is happy and content.
But for a man to move up in the world, to become a higher class citizen, there need be sacrifices.
So in this world a business man is offered a proposition: become an executive, gain a bigger house, huge pay increase, every company benefit imaginable. But all at a price- which is his first born daughter. He is to give consent and wed her to the company CEO (which just happens to be a God! I'm not set on which one yet, it can come as the story progresses) when she comes of age. Of course he accepts, he is only a man.
The RP would be just as it seems: focusing on the lives of the characters as they come to grips with the choice that has been made and the time comes closer and closer to the daughter's engagement. The crux of story is, though, that the daughter has to decide for herself if she will go through with the choice. Does she live in the luxury she has been raised in, or will love/hatred/anger/jealousy/or any other possibility sway her to abandon all she knows?
Love can be had, drama would overflow, hearts will be broken, and I believe it sets up a nice allegory between choice and destiny.
This is around where I would like the RP to take place. I'm still developing the idea, and I'm honestly open to others' input, but I think this back-story sets up nicely for the concept.
The main characters can be the father, the daughter, the company CEO, and a love interest for the daughter. More people will be introduced if the RP actually gets that big, but mostly it would be focused on these characters.
So I was recently listening to some music when this idea jumped at me. I know a song might not seem like much to go on, but it's vividly in my mind and I think it deserves to be fleshed out.
Let me know what you guys think!
(I'd link the song I was listening to, but I can't do that yet, apparently.)
