Fantasy [INTEREST CHECK] A Game of Sins

[Wiggle]

I had an idea that I wanted to pitch about a fantasy tournament between demons. There are these group of demons, called "Sins" and every few millennium they have a tournament to see who is the strongest among them, but here's a catch, these Sins weren't always sins. They were once human too, cursed for whatever reason you want . This RP is character driven with a loose plot, meaning your character will create their own story while fighting their way to the top. Now on to the plot: There are always two winners to the tournament, but nobody has won in a very long time due to the two that occupy the throne. The two winners, called the King and the Queen are two very strong and very ancient demons, and are not easily beaten. Will your character win? I will create the thread once I have enough people interested, and I'm looking for around maybe six or eight.

This is an interesting concept. I'd like to hear some more details before jumping into anything, but it does seem very interesting, as long as the action and fighting between actual human-played characters is done well.

 

[Fenn]

For a demon tournament, penalty for losing is normally death right? I'm interested but would like more information as well.

@Tugboats


What kind of details would you like to know? It's still a pretty rough draft for an RP and could use some more refining.


@Fenn


In a way, yes. The idea that I had for it was that these Sin's are immortal, but can be "killed" but they can't die and are essentially just removed from the tournament, and resurrected a while later to participate in the next one. But for the sake of the RP they'll be killed off, but that's up to the RPers to decide who dies and in what way. The characters will be killed off and people are going to be allowed more than one character.

Will this be dice driven? How will the match winners be decided?

 

[Wiggle]

Nah, it won't be dice driven, seeing as I've no idea how to do that. I thought it'd be cool to focus more on the drama in between the character's than the actual fights, more of an exploring of the characters than an actual tournament. But the tournament wouldn't be in an arena or anything, but in the real world. So two Sins could encounter each other in Paris and end up destroying historical monuments and such.

 

[Tugboats]

I'd like to know a little more about what these demons actually are. Are they stereotypical giant, burning monsters, or are they more human-looking. Are they based on the Seven Deadly Sins, or is Sins just a nickname?

 

[Wiggle]

@Tugboats They're more of a human like demon, maybe some have pointy ears, unnatural eye colors, some could even look exactly like you or I and the only thing that makes them different is their weapon, armor and powers. The Seven Deadly Sins was something I was thinking of including, but not to the extent that they're a "The Sin of Wrath" just more along the lines of that's their personality. Like we'll have a character over here that's prone to fits of anger, and maybe his powers are strengthened by anger for a short time, or you have a character over here who's very lustful, or another that's greedy. It would just play more into their personality than the actual story line or their rank. Sins was also just a nickname for them too, I was in another RP on a different site that had a few of these demon/monsters called Saints in them, they were once human who were twisted by some sort of magic, terrible experience in the past, and because of this they were forced to play a game and kill each other. It was a side story in another huge roleplay that I would love to expound on. We had a few Saints, Siegfried, Qinn, Sora, Zel, and such and they were all once human and now were forced to fight in this game for millennium, we added a twist in there where a much stronger, and much more evil being showed up and they had to band together to kill him. I wanted to bring that here but with more structure and actually have a solid story.

[Natevess]

Interested.

 

[Soviet Panda]

Interested. So, you are up to five, not including you.

 

[Wiggle]

Yes, of course, I am the sixth. I guess I will get to work on creating the thread.

 

[Hunnyhelp]

Would the demons necessarily have to be evil, could they just have some major personality flaw, but want to be good?


Also are the demons forced to do this or do they do it out of free will?

 

[Wiggle]

Of course, they're forced to fight each other, regardless if they were evil or not in the past. Many could be merciful and choose to end their opponent's life as quick as they can, or some may enjoy the process and wish to drag it out for their own twisted self pleasure. Your character could even seek to end the tournament all together, but I don't think that would be an easy task. Your character could hate the games with a passion but are still forced to fight for whatever reason that caused them to become such a creature. Some may also do it because they want to and enjoy inflicting pain and suffering on others, some feel compelled, some forced, and some may view it as a chore.

 

[Hunnyhelp]

Count me in then

 

[Wiggle]

Fantastic, I'm creating the thread now, and it shouldn't be too long before it's up and everyone who is interested can create their Sin.

 

[Fenn]

Sorry if this was addressed before, but are Sins made belonging to a certain Deadly Sin or is the Deadly Sins a certain Sin.

 

[Hunnyhelp]

Gracious. I have on last question, does the character have to be human before to be a sin..?

 

[Wiggle]

@Fenn Yes and no. If you want your character to exhibit traits of being wrathful, being envious, being lustful, being greedy, being a glutton or being lazy, then by all means, use that to define your character. But I did not want a sin to be, for example, Lynnthal, the Sin of Greed or whatever. Sins is just a nickname for these creatures, they're called that because of something that happened in their past life, whether it be a terrible crime or whatever reason they became this way.


@Hunnyhelp I would prefer it if they were, but if you could somehow manage to work out a reason why they're forced into playing this Game then I don't see a problem with that. The idea is that once they became this way, they were stripped of all they used to be, and throughout the game they come across things that help them remember bits and pieces of who they were, maybe it's a memory that keeps crossing their mind, or a landmark, or a person who looks extremely similar to someone they loved in their past life.


 
Alright guys, the thread is up and ready to accept characters.

Making my character now, got caught in some games with my friends haha.

If you guys are still interested, the thread is looking for the Queen and a few more Sins.

 

[Fenn]

I was actually iffy about making mine a Queen, but it sure fitted the role nicely, as I can RP her to be quite powerful. If possible, may I change her to a Queen? I wasn't exactly sure how it was decided.

 

[Wiggle]

It was pretty much just a first come first served kind of basis. I don't want the King and Queen to be godlike, just extremely powerful. They'd be way more powerful than the average sin, seeing as there hasn't been a new King or Queen in a few millennium, but they'd also have a severe character flaw that could and will be used to bring them down. I do plan for both of them to fall, but if you want to be Queen, I'll change you over to a queen, and you can say so in your character's profile.

 

[Fenn]

Ah, I don't mind losing my status of Queen, I'm sure my character had been a Queen multiple times already before losing and having to climb up again in different times. As for character flaw I'll need to think of something, a little help as to what you intend it to be like, a psychological thing?

 

[Soviet Panda]

Well, I do believe you said she was insane. Perhaps she can get super narrow minded. Tunnel vision and what not.
