Role Play Creator the Third

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

So, have you settled on the two worlds yet?

[The Junkyard Cat]

Oh well I liked the idea that you guys had with the paradise and the destroyed world and all. So I might go with that. Right now though I'm focusing on enemies. The concept of them I have is none besides giving them the name Nightmares.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Think up things that aren't quite right, that only work when seen with bizarre dream logic. Like the Doorknob People.

This is great. The Doorknob People are Human heads with spider legs about the size of your fist that live in the doorknobs. Yes, live in there. Mess with their nest, and they'll web you up and drag you into the doorknob to eat you.

Or Stray Dog. A big monster that catches and gobbles up children that wander into the swamp. Don't describe it, it should be formless so the imagination and evocative name do all the work. Make sure you use the words "Gobbled Up." It evokes a different feeling than just eat or devour. Grendel Gobbled People Up.

So, basically, anything your grandparents would say to make you behave.

[The Junkyard Cat]

Hmmm I think I might have nightmares as something that will hunt the players down when they are in the world foreign to them.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Kinda like the Prison Realms RP I tried to get going a while back? If you don't know what it is, I think you should look back through the rest of the RPs and read it.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

So, if I understand this right, you would overlap the person in the other world when you go to sleep? And the nightmares would be antibodies hunting you down? How does the other person perceive this happening?

[The Junkyard Cat]

Its just a concept so far... though after further thought I was thinking of it the nightmares to start hunting you down once you use dream abilities. A lot of which I still have to come up with.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Your father is dead.

Not your biological father, but the man you've come to think of as one. Dr. Percival Pneumatic, alias Doctor Numeral; superhero, inventor, philanthropist, and living national treasure. You come from all types of places: Juvenal delinquents, orphans, the children of other heroes who fell in the line of duty, and of the villains they fell against. Nevertheless, Dr Numeral took you in, gave you a life and opportunities you never thought possible, raised you as his own, and sent you off into the world strong, capable adults.

Now you've returned, to the secret Caribbean island fortress/paradise of your childhood, to settle his affairs. The funeral was small for a superhero of his caliber, only a few heads of state even present, and none are led into the room where his children will be dividing his worldly possessions. His lawyer, Jonathan you think his name was, steps before you and clears his throat.

"Mr. Pneumatic has requested I play this video for you all. Please look to the viwescreen."

The paneling on the walls slide back to revel a large television set, upon which is the gentle smiling face of your benefactor. A few fresh sobs break out as he begins talking.

"Hello everyone. My, how you've grown. Not that I can see you from where I am, but I know it's true. Now, you all should waste all of this, cause I've told Johnny that if anyone leaves before I'm done talking talking, none of you get anything. So, straight to business."

"I'm leaving everyone here this island. Just this island. It has a inner sanctum that is fully self-sustaining, can withstand any attack, and contains all the comforts you could ever dream of having. Only those the main computer registers as my children, all of you, may enter this inner sanctum. You'll find that I've gone and given away the rest of my assets."

"The reason for this is actually quite simple," he starts, the lot of you hushing immediately. "I'll be blunt; I'm going to destroy the world."

"I understand what you have to be feeling right about now. But let me explain; I've spent my entire life making the world a better place. I'm a perfectionist, it's a little flaw of mine. Utopia was always my dream, and I became a superhero to see that dream fulfilled. And, ironically, doing this job has convinced me that it is just not possible. Not as long as we exist. So, my agents are at this moment setting my plan of global catastrophic into motion. Fools don't even realize it, so blinded are they by their base human nature. Be that as it may, I still love all of you. That's why I want you to survive. Even after everything I've seen, I can't work up the nerve to murder my children."

"You do, of course, have another avenue besides hiding in this place. You could set out to stop what I've put into motion. You're a resourceful, intelligent group of young people, I'm sure you could. But, I feel I must warn you; if you take that path you will see the very worst humanity has to offer. I made sure that my allies in this endeavor where the very worst. That is the only way, I feel, you will be able to understand why it is I've made this decision. That is the only way you can have the right to decide the fate of this world."

"My plan has already started, and within a year it will be to far along for anyone to stop. Hide here, or try to stop me. It's your choice. Whatever it is, I'm sure it will be the right one. Goodbye."

The screen fades to blackness. Silence fills the room.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Now THAT'S what I call a plot.

Seriously, I wish we could do a Horror RP.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

let's do it then...I've got a great story for it I've been working on

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Okay, great!

I can pull up the Horror RP comments thing if you wanna go over the idea.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

So, show of hands: How many people here heard heard of the Holy Grail War. I'm asking for absolutely no reason at all.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

What, the Crusades?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Nooooooooope.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 What, this?

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Is that not the coolest concept ever? It's like celebrity deathmatch, but with wizards and played for serious!

[Celadon's Penultimate]

 Sounds cool.

[Philote]

Is that a manga or anime or some such thing?

[Celadon's Penultimate]

A franchise that ventures into manga, if I read the description correctly.
