So I've been having some thoughts on an rp and have been running things by various people from past and current rping communities I've participated in.

So far I've come up with medieval fantasy, my usual genre that I honestly prefer over anything else. In the rp the apocalypse is upon the mortal plane, angels are fighting the demon/undead horde. Both sides don't care about the mortals they destroy while they settle their eternal conflict.

A multitude of races, pretty much whatever you want within reason, are available. A group of people, you guys, are sent out to the races to gather allies to repel both sides. Obviously you'll end up doing more than that since some races will be untrusting or just plain stubborn so you'll do jobs/quests for them to get them to join up. Also you'll obviously get attacked at some point by the antagonists of the war in the mortal plane.

I'm not sure if there will be stats or not, I know there will be ranks for abilities, and there will be a general shop/enchanting list so there will actually be a point to all the fighting that is bound to happen.

Since I forget how to put up a poll (since I haven't made an rp idea in a long damn time) I'll just tally all the yes's and no's. If the yes' outweigh the no's then I'd like to see race ideas from you lot. And don't be shy, ask for more details or something I know I'm being vague.

It's vague so far. I'm not uninterested.

Edit: I voted for none but consider it a maybe.

Best to sleep on it.
FYI, you should be able to edit in a poll on the top right of your first post.

I'd say I'm not interested, but, considering how I ended up joining all of the RPs here, I'm probably going to end up joining, so I'll just jump the shark and join in if it's made.

Hey Kaze, it has been a while since I heard from you. Now onto this part- overall, not enough detail nor specific information about anything to really be interesting. So instead of making a short version where I say "I want to know more first" instead I am just going to post a wide set of questions and let you decide how to answer them. In the process, perhaps we (you included) will all learn a little more about what this RP is going to be about?

Where are we going in this world? Why are the angels and demons at war? Why are the mortal races not already united against the angels and demons? Why do the mortal races consider these creatures angels and demons? Why are the angels dicks? Is there a god? Can we speak to this god and is it evil? Are the angels akin to Christianity angels or more like DnD outsiders? What is up with the demons? Are they led by a Devil? The Devil aka Lucifer from Christianity? Is this taking place in our world? Is there magic? If so what kind? Do magic users make deals with the angels and demons for powers and magic? Does magic naturally exist? If there are other races in this world, are they mortals too? Do any of them have any divine or demonic heritages binding them to one side? Is there a church that worships the angels/god? Does it have any power? How about a cult that worships the demons/devil? Does it have any power? And lastly, what gives our characters the "job" of saving the world from these creatures?

Slow and steady...
Who cares about all that? Just make the RP and let people join. This place moves like molasses for the most part; anything to liven things up is ideal.

To answer all of Ntnp's questions! Angels are divine beings, innately good if extremely prideful and arrogant. Demons are innately evil and tend to hate everything not demonic, and are cruel to anything and everyone unless said being is more powerful than them. Like an imp (little cannon fodder demon) will follow the orders of a Hellknight (big warrior class demon). But they'd squabble against another imp. Yes I used Doom as a reference there. So it's a classic war of good vs evil.

Where you're going in the world? Everywhere that there's a race. Angels and demons are called that because that is what they are, that is their race. They have subspecies but overall they are just angels and demons.

Angels are dicks due to pride and arrogance. Holier than thou, no pun intended.

There is a head angel that is classed as "God" and vice versa for demons but it's just Devil. No special names like lucifer/satan/bealzebub, Jesus/Alaha/etc.

The rp will be taking place outside of our own world, and if I deem it necessary I will create a map. There will be travels, combat, and dialog. I'd request help for dialog portions since I tend to stick to my gruff/pissed off play style.

There is magic and it is natural, certain things also make certain magics stronger. Like voodoo you'd use sacrifices and grisgris to help yourself, mages would just have to learn more about their specific magic trees. Branching into different magics isn't really advised unless you want to be a jack of all trades.

There are churches and cults, mostly amongst the humans. But every race has their own religious ideas, they could worship anything and everything. I'd have to think about who worships what, if they even worship at all. But generally the church/cult will be on their "saviors" side and will act as agents for said beings. Bit of a spoiler there but it's to be expected when you're rped a really long damn time.

As for what gives you the job? Desperation. My initial starting point would be you peeps being in jail for who knows what, nothing super severe of course, and the king would want expendable people to go out and do things while the kingdom is under attack. Think mass effect 3 in medieval times (best reference I got really).

Ok, thank you for the information Kaze. Now I think we all have a somewhat better idea of what this RP will be about.
