One of Oblivion
Hello and welcome those that maybe interested in what I have to offer here. I'm looking to reboot a RP I been trying to get off the ground multiple times now. I'm going to be talking about what it's about, what I have tried in the past reboots and so far my preparations, what I'm looking forward to do in the RP, what my expectations of the other RPers willing to join, and I'm also looking for suggestion to help me try and better this RP and have it last longer than in the past. I like to say this before someone starts saying I stole the idea...First off i know the idea isn't original, and I will admit I got some the idea of the RP from a guild member of another site. But I asked their permission to get it started back up again. At this point however with all I planned with this RP, and all I prepared, I think my whole idea is separate from the original idea. The only things that are still the same are a story idea, the RP's name to pay homage to that RP for being my inspiration to try and be a RP creator, and the idea that in-game characters are free to do as they wish basically. I just wanted to make that clear.
First to talk about (other than my rant/not rant) is the RP itself. The story starts out with seemingly random people being invited to test the newest high tech gaming system of a mysterious company. This system is the first in virtual reality and is way more advanced than it seems for what it should be for the first of it's kind. The tester are then thrusted into a realistic fantasy world after creating their characters and find it hard to tell it was really a game. They begin on an island kingdom of Chordata and are at the point free to do what they want. Explore the available regions, do quests, go shopping, or even find a job. The rest the world would be unlocked after they complete the urgent quest available once all the other quests have been completed once.
This is just me ranting about my past plans to keep order in the RP and failing…read it if you like and if you could give me some advice about the things mentioned?
Ler’s see, the things I prepared are...
What I’m looking forward to do in the RP is progress the story farther than the other times I started it. I have few events in mind to this point as I had time to think about it, but as for other kingdoms and what may happen there, I am hoping to establish with those interested to be a part of the RP. I may have descriptions of the other kingdoms that give a bit of back-story to them but that’s just to give a template of what can be done in the RP. I’m thinking of making it a Hosted RP but that is going to depend on who get interested though.
As for what I’m expecting from those wanting to join the RP…it’s pretty much going to be what I was ranting about above. When I get the RP started I like to get a PM of an original post demonstrating their writing skills. This so we don’t get those who do one-liners and call it a post. I’m also looking for those who are fairly active on this site; no one that’s on like once a week, because I want to have decent progression in the RP. I’m not sure is I’ll require post order yet or just let people post when they want. But I will limit the amount of people joining at the start as I want to manage a small group first. I’m also looking to have a moderator help me with the RP such ass controlling bosses for separate in-game party. This isn’t necessary, but will determine the number of people who I will accept into the RP; just a heads up.
Other than that I’m up to hearing peoples’ suggestions, advice, anything to help make this RP idea a worthwhile endeavor.
The links below are to post of mine that are about important things I didn't mention on this opening post.

Sigh…So far none my attempts to start up this RP have tried to come close to getting that far as I explained above. They usually die within the first town or trying to leave out on their first quest. I really tried to keep things in order and going, but people just seem to lose interest in it fast. I tried it in public group RPs with no restrictions such as posting order and the amount of people joining. Then I limit the amount of people to join, required a submission post to verify skills, and asked a posting order to be followed…That was a one sided sword that I was holding backwards…The only thing I changed after that was ask for a posting order to be made when characters got together if I remember correctly.
Ler’s see, the things I prepared are...
- a complete world map complete with terrain, landmarks, routes, and a way to track characters current location in the RP using the map(s). I used Google drives painting to pull this off and used it in a past RP on another sight. I also have brief descriptions of all the kingdoms, but will only be revealed when/if the RP get’s that far.
- I also have a nomicon of sorts for creatures/monsters characters will be able to encounter in the RP…at least for the first kingdom. It gives basic info of the monster such as locations, habits, strengths and weaknesses.
- I have a few quests made out for the first kingdom and I am willing to take suggestions from those joining for quests. The quests will have a description of the monsters they will be encountering when they accept the mission.
- I have a game menu created, but that’s just for getting a visualization of what it looks like…Though I put a lot of work into it.
- I have a FQA to explain a few things that may not be clear about the world in the RP. Though most aren’t frequently asked, still it’s good to know.
