Ideas plox.

[Mickasawr]

Okay so.


We're going to be starting a new roleplay. If you get writers block, just type as much as you can and we'll try to help you through it.

Okay. First of all, we need ideas.

The first idea was just to use our old storyline from before which I totally jacked from some book because I fail at creativity:

The small village used to live in poverty during the war, hardly without any decent food for days. But after the war ended, they had lived life more contently. Until a small group of fire nation refugees about the size of the entire village who hid away during the war came and asked for their help and guidance. The earth nation village knew they would not be able to feed everyone if they choose to accept these strangers. But as naturally not wanting to start a new war and to keep peace, they welcomed them.

Months past, the fire nation refugees have not left and began to make their own homes and living there. The village began to live in poverty again. Food was scarce and high priced. Most of the earth nation villagers feel bitter towards the fire refugees and blamed their poverty on them. The fire refugees feel as if the earth nation villages are hiding food and other goods away from them to make them just think they have nothing.


Mathew had an idea that totally kicked my ideas butt, or so I think so, so I'm just going to let him post the whole story himself because I'll just ruin it trying to think of how to summarize it.

Everyone else, feel free to throw in your ideas. Eventually we'll skim them down and then have everyone vote for the best idea so we can all agree on what storyline we'll be following.

edit: Sorry Mickey, the red was hard to read. 3:

[killertofu]

Well Hello! KillerTofu comin' at you with an idea. Mickeh, don't put yourself down. All you hhad to do was copy pasta my idea. ;o

Lets get started shall we?

Just years after the Rise and Fall of the Fire Nation Zuko and Aang bring the world into a new era of peace.
Together they built a nation the far exceeded anything they could imagine.
As years go by Aang was able to start his own tribe of Airbenders and designed a ship that could soar into the sky where they could watch the world from above. As proof of teir friendship Zuko joined him and helped create the place that is now known as Pheonix, The ship that soars the sky.

Trade routes with the West began in this time and soon The Peace that was established would be tested.

Over the next 2000 years the tides of the ocean have consumed most of the land. Leading the WaterBenders to help rule. Other tribes went to join The Fire and the Air Tribes to create a Unified Tribe that would help over see the continuation of their peace.

Over the years trade routs would go missing and would send the West in a rage and the East with little supplies.
Pirates were the cause and little is known about their intentions. Many speculate that the Pirates are Fire Tribe Members that stayed behind because they did not believe the Air and Fire should join together. Other speculated the West is involved because of their jealousy.

None-the-less te Pirate threat was real. With all the stolen ships and slaves they captured their numbers grew to the thousands. In a responce to their crimes the Tribes of the sky would consult with the Water Tribe to send Four Warriors to help stop this threat.

Side note I was thinking the West could be Alchemists and advance in the art of Science. Simply to give a unique status to Rival the East. :]

-------------------------------------------

Idea Dos:

I was thinking that as far as the story line goes we could go into a detailed exploration and the anihilation of the Air Benders in the first attempts of domination for the Fire Nation.
Basically in a nut shell we all know the Fire Nation Killed off almost all the Air Benders but this alone posses an oppertunity to set stealth role plays and battles that would have possibly happen before and durring this time.

Well that is wat I got so far. I am open to change of ideas. This was mearly thought out and typed in the past half hour. A lot has changed in this time so feel free to make suggestions!

[Mickasawr]

I just have a feeling with this being 2000 years after and all, it's going to cause some conflict with some of us because of the characters we have made and all that, unless most of us are willing to do some major tweaking to our ocs.



Plus: Jester really wanted to roleplay Zuko. xD

[killertofu]

Well this is the beauty of Role Playing. You can be who ever you would like. Jester can be the Decendent of Zuko. One of the Warriors to help Save the people from Pirates or the decendent that hated the Avatar wand Join the Pirate. :]

[Mickasawr]

oeringorgnetugbo k. We'll see what everyone thinks of it.

[killertofu]

Yes, by all means. I do not insist this is what we will do. Just simply an idea. I do love taking things a bit to far but possibilities are endless. :]
Maybe a re-inactment of the first war with the AirBenders and the Fire Nation? That would be cool. >]

[Khemo Khartoon]

I'm a little aprehensive of it, though I have some ideas of what I would do with it with my characters and stuff o: I'm just a bit confused about some of it at the moment.

[savinda]

Mmk. So.

The Avatar is killed just days after saving the world from the Fire Nation's ebil army of doooom! Oh noes! It was the cruel Azula who had done it, and she has been in hiding ever since. Fast forward fifteen years or so to the present! The world is trying to put itself back together, with Firelord Zuko's help, and everyone's off doing their own thing.

Until. Off in the far east, on a small island that had no name to it, but is off the coast of the Southern Water Tribe, a bright and familiar light shone. o:< Yes, that's right. The new avatar has been around all this time, and they got angreh. (Pfft, I'm writing this so weird) And even Azula has heard of this news from her ebil minions of doom. The Gaang must come together with the help of their new friends/apprentices/whatevers and get to the new avatar before Azula does! o:<

Idk if anyone wants to play older versions of the main characters, or if there can be a new avatar they cater to. o3o Buuuut that's basically my idea.

To KillerTofu: I kind of agree with Mick. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty cool plot, but the whole 2,000 years skip kind of irks me. And the complexity of the plot. I think that since most of us have not roleplayed much in a great while, we should stick with something a bit more simple to get us back in the routine.

Ah, I know the feeling, I have not Role Played in...probably 3...maybe more....years.
I am so rusty yet it is not about what you go on your plate, it is about what you can do to make it better! Thinking outside the box.
I would not be hurt if no one wants to do this plot, hell keep it in the back of your mind. It'll grow on you, trust me. I have so many ideas as well that it will never be the same twice. That is just what I thought of earlier today within a half hour. I actually had more to it but I wanted to keep it simple.
Still got out of hand but it is there. Role Playing Avatar should not be just what we know from the Series. If I could take Water Bending to another stage I would...and I did. Water bending just seemed so weak in the Television show that if you gave them an entire ocean it would make for a better enviroment for them. :]
Now I do have other ideas that I will just modify and sort from my first post so just keep an eye out. You might find something you all would like to try.

[Mickasawr]

Yeah. There are some people here that are going to be new to this site and some others who've been on this site since it was first created. So I believe we're going to have some conflict with the two because we're somewhat used to what we usually do. o.o

[Fire Lord Jester]

I say we fuck it and just PUPPET RP guys!
>
WHERE NOTHING HAS TO MAKE SENSE!
IT can be 2000 years in the future and Zuko can be young as ever!
HAHA!

Honestly that is such a dope idea. I mean in the spirit of Avatar
stick to what we know but you are spot on with what we should do in the future. With a vast amount of ideas and settings tere is no limit to what we can Role Play!

PS, too lazy to log in. D;

[savinda]

I like the idea of just doing whatever, but I think it'd be nice having a little storyline to go along with it. Or like, two separate rps, if anyone's interested. o-o;

[Mickasawr]

Two roleplays so that if one person gets writers block and that roleplay dies, we still have the other roleplay to do. :'D


btw I destroyed the 69 views. :3

[Khemo Khartoon]

Two roleplays sound like a good idea. o: But then we need ideas for them. xD

And I still have none at the moment. 3: But I side with the two at once thing.

[Khemo Khartoon]

I can think of one sorta! o: I got as far as thinking it could be on a boat. Yeah, not much going there. I don't even know WHY characters would be on a boat but it's all that's running in my head. :< I also thought of pissy pirates or sinkage on said boat but I worry about how it could work.

[Amanda]

I'M ON A BOAT AAAAAND
IT'S GOIN' FAST AAAAAND

Sorry. I had to.

[Mickasawr]

I wanna come up with an idea before this week is over guise. o.o So let's throw out our ideas.

[savinda]

My idea up there works. ^ No one's said anything about it tho. .-.

[Fire Lord Jester]

I think we should just stick with 'Matthews' plans.
x]
I like it.

....
AS LONG AS LB IS IN IT WITH SOME REALLY HOT RED HEADED CHICK THAT MY ZUKO OFFSPRING CAN SCOOOOORE.
D:<

Omg.
How cool would it be if she was ALSO Kataras offspring?

[Mandi Monsta!]

I support the idea of two different rps. That sounds like it would work.

I think with the two rps, we should do one that's calmer, maybe the boat idea Khemo had... We've never had the setting be a boat lol. And then maybe some pirate action later on, but at first just calm and getting back into the groove.

The second one can be a more complex plot, more actiony and such.

[Mickasawr]

Okay. Something tells me the complex plot with more action rp will die hopelessly if i join it. So making two different rps might be good so I could just join one and not have to kill the other. P:

XDDDDDDDDDDDDD Ufwahahaha, you're still on that, Jester? IT WON'T HAPPEN. EVER.

[LB]

As far as the roleplay goes, I'm liking KillerTofu's idea. I think it gives us a chance to be original. Having it be in the future gives us a chance to create new characters, which gives us a fresh start. We won't get bogged down by past interactions between our characters.

A whole new start in a new setting may be exactly what we need to keep a roleplay going. And besides, if the idea of having to create whole new characters is intimidating, just remember that they can be the decendant of one of your characters, so you could give them some... I don't know, similiar defining traits that got passed down.


-------------------

Okay, so, I have the beginning of an idea. No real specifics, it's kind of just a basic idea.

Zuko comes to power at the end of the first war, of course. The nations come to an uneasy truce, but relations are still tense.

Years pace in peace, until Zuko's interactions with the other world leaders become more and more hostile. Word gets out that he has essentially put the country into lockdown, not letting ships in or out of the ports. Even more disturbing, it's found out by Earth Kingdom intelligence that the Fire Nation has started to mobilize its army once again.

(I'll finish this later.)

[Fire Lord Jester]

Zuko wouldn't do that!
>:T

And shush baby.
You know you will come to me.
Its only a matter of time until my charms ...charm you.
>_>

C:

[Mickasawr]

.......LOL.

[LB]

D; Lololol. I didn't finish. Anyway, Mandi and I were roleplaying that scenario, and basically the only reason Zuko does that is because some of his father's old advisors or whatever that didn't get arrested sort of... well, threaten him. XD I dunno, that was my idea. Forget about it. XDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[Tis an Ally!]

I like the idea of two roleplays. o: Freedom to choose! >:3

I think I'm going to create some new characters because my previoius ones are kind of dead in my mind, and you all probably don't even remember them anyways.

They died without pain, by the way. Because they were so damned emotionless.
