Yes, this Labyrinth.
So I have always been way too into this stupid movie and kind of wanted to do, idk, some kind of rp or something about it because holy crap I love this movie but to be honest there's not enough information on the world and the Labyrinth itself, and generally not enough to go on to make, like, a real, full-scale roleplay. But then it just occurred to me, 1x1 is a thing. So now I'm like 5000% ready to frigging go with a Labyrinth plot.
So as for the exact storyline, I'm actually not quite sure, since honestly there's so many possibilities you could feasibly come up with. I'm thinking something that perhaps vaguely mirrors the movie, or perhaps even parallels it more or less exactly but with different characters. Or, at least, the basic concept, with the Goblin King stealing a baby and the baby's elder sibling (or other relative) having to come rescue it before it turns into a goblin itself. The exact events of the story, obviously, could be quite different from the movie. We don't need Fire Gang or the Bog of Eternal Stench (but we all know they're gonna show up anyways). My point is, though, that the exact events would be determined by the characters' actions rather than attempts to copy the movie, because while it may parallel it, this is not supposed to be a reenactment.
Of course, I'm open to other plots involving the Labyrinth as well, either if you have one or are just dissatisfied with the idea of paralleling the movie and request that I try to think of something more original. Either way, I 100% want to be the Goblin King, though not specifically Jareth; rather, my own version. I have theories on how that's a thing but I can get into that later. Of course, if you have other ideas, I'm open to hear them.
I'm looking for this to be hopefully a longer-term rp that is at least semi-literate, though preferably literate. Past that, I have two main requirements: obviously, you must be at least reasonably passionate about Labyrinth (as you probably had to be to even click on this), and you must be fairly creative. The second requirement is because coming up with events, locations, and background characters will require a great deal of imagination, and the movie doesn't really give us a lot to go on as far as setting or creatures go, only an overall style, which requires us to fill in a lot of blanks as we go. Besides that, activity is not necessarily a major must- just reply when you can. I should note that this is not by any means intended to by a romance rp, though depending how the cards fall, I'm not against characters falling in love with each other. It's just not the goal.
If you're interested, comment or PM me directly. Pls someone I need this in my life.

I literally let out a pterodactyl-esque victory screech when I saw someone had actually commented on this. It has been two days, two sites, and like 3 different threads. I am overwhelmed with child-like joy.

Probably same but I was like 2 when I first saw it so it's hard to say. This movie is probably the reason I'm emo and obsessed with having white hair though lol. I have a thing about kids movies/shows that are slightly (or very) creepy.
So, you liking the idea of just sorta paralleling the movie plot-wise, or you wanting to try to come up with something else with the Labyrinth and Goblin King (bc I am the Goblin King and no one can tell me otherwise)?

Yeah that was my intention. Obviously some locations could reoccur, but they wouldn't all be the same. It wouldn't be much fun to just follow the movie exactly lol. Also, I'll probably opt for a bit more direct interaction between the human and the Goblin King in this, both for the sake of having more interaction and development between them in the rp and just because my character is going to want to do everything himself, and thus have to affect events directly rather than through others, bc he is a meddler.

Well, they will be antagonists of each other so that makes sense XD
So I'm thinking this should start in a time period besides when the movie takes place (mid-80s), which really makes a pretty big window.... most likely the present, but really it could be any point in the past as well. Of course, this won't really affect the Labyrinth much, mostly just your character and the setting of the very beginning of the rp.
As for the humans... what's going to be your character's relation to the baby that's taken, and how is that initial scene going to go down? Based on the movie, I'd assume that the Goblin King has to be asked/given permission to take the baby, directly or indirectly.

Okie dokie, I will put up the thread momentarily.
Yeah he already hates me for even getting on this site because he's a curmudgeon about Warriors for some reason, so then I was like "oh yeah guess what 1x1 rp I'm doing on WCRP it's emo and apparently super obscure" and he guessed for like 10 minutes until I finally told him and he's just like "Vyx no why" and I'm like bc I must become the Goblin King

Yeah sure go for it. You get to make the setting of the beginning so I'll leave it up to you. Also I apologize if my posts are a bit meh at the beginning, I'm very tired, mildly headachy, and only mostly know what's up with my character lol.

Oops sorry just realized you posted on here. Yeah it's not really until that point that things will get going. Also apparently there's a Labyrinth manga that expands a lot on the lore of the Labyrinth world? Huh. Gonna have to read that sometime then. But since I never have I unfortunately can't utilize it here. Dang.
