Greetings! I am excited to begin recruitment for a project I've had in mind for a while now. After searching for a good platform- and finding it in this forum- I will now be filling in the detail needed for those wanting to discuss a Dark Souls inspired roleplay. So let us jump right in, shall we?
What I'm Looking For:
So, as it has been ages since I last took the time to get into roleplay, I would like this particular go-at-it to be casual, to a good extent. When it comes to replies and such, I find my best work is between one and four paragraphs (although I can certainly go for just about anything- I'm not stringient on such things.) As for actual content, I am very willing to explore ideas and concepts in this sort of conceptual stage of things. We will get onto that in a moment.
About the World:
It seems most obvious that this is Dark Souls inspired. Now I am more than happy to alter the degree of which our world will remain similar to the DkS universe, whether it be actually in Firelink Shrine or the Handmaidens shrine, or in a distant, homemade world of our own design with the general feel and atmosphere of the universe. Either way, we should probably define what exactly I mean by Dark Souls inspired. The general feeling of the world being against you- of hard trials, tragic pasts, and a future doomed to potential madness. These are some of the things that characterize Dark Souls for me, but I will be farily lenient on that- As long as you too find something Dark Souls-ish for this!
Finally, Plots:
Again, I want this to be part of the collaborative process behind things. It could be anything from a wounded adventurer on the brink of hollowing, saved and tended to by a fellow traveller looking to spread the way of white into the world. It could be two weary souls wandering into the Handmaidens Shrine to find themselfs a small station among the strange people there. I want you to aid in this process because I strongly feel that we should agree via compromise, rather than random chance of meeting someone with the exact needs I have. I also dont really care what character you might bring along, as long as it be within reason. I'll most certainly pick a male for the sake of identifying with the character, but you could go with anything. I'm open to romance and such, and I'm open to not doing it. I'm open to it being MxM, MxG, or anything of the sort. I am going full-on no-holds-barred! Along with this, I tend to have a more 'chaotic' approach to things, where plots that are discussed prior only tend to be guidelines, rather than have regimented events. Not sure if thats abnormal, but it felt important to let in. And speaking of me being new...
What do you think of this post? Am I missing something? Do I need to change some formatting? Please, hit me with some feedback- I am beyond the point of having feelings hurt by constructive criticism! Even if you haven't the slightest interest in participating in this thread, I ask you help me out with this. Hopefully it shouldn't take too much of your time- and someday, we might be able to roleplay together.
I think that about does it. I think my more freeform approach can be adapted over time, and this being my first, it certainly will. Thanks for taking a look, and I'll talk to you soon!
