Good Evening (or rather, morning), If you don't know me, I'm History (hx) of Symptoms (sx), formally known as Beau. I'm a slightly busy, recent high school grad who just wants to settle back into her role playing ways and relax a little. Therefore, I am here - aiming for the stressful task of creating a role play. I hope to make it small group, it'll be a literate/advanced role play and as for the theme, I'm not incredibly sure yet. As for ideas, I have nothing definite, but I had a thought: What if we were to do something with the Myers-Briggs Personalities - there are sixteen in all fyi, so idk how we would divy that up. That, or we could do something based off of the Zodiac symbols or Elements. I'm always up to suggestions and new friends, so don't be afraid to pitch in! Also, Happy Pride Month to all my non-heterosexual friends <3

I'll help if you need it. I'd love the help, but I'm not entirely sure on what yeah lol If you have any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated. I'm really interested in doing something with the Zodiac's, and maybe the Elements? Because I know that the Zodiacs are associated with Elements so maybe we could do something along the lines of that.

the prologue - -
"I am a child of a Money hungry, prideful country Grass is green and it's always sunny Hands so bloody, tastes like honey I'm finding it hard to leave"
Two households, both alike in dignity in fair Verona is where we lay our scene....Welcome to 2017, or as the kids say #2k17! You know the story of fair Verona, of the two feuding families, whose children fell for one another and in one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies, gave their lives in the name of love. Well, this is fair Verona in it's modern age. This story, that we are about to tell you, is much different than the one you know. For one thing, it's many, many, many years post the original publication. For another thing, these houses are different - powerful in more than money - and they have never heard the cautionary tale of the young lovers Romeo and Juliet.
[ this role play is a small group role play in which the children of these two families are continuing the war between families. This is NOT a romance role play. Here we will explore themes of Murder, Greed, Lust (not to be mistaken for love), and Magic. NOTICE: This is a PG-13 roleplay, so while we are exploring dark themes, I intend for us to stay away from details of the violent and bedroom kind. The names of the houses are the same from Romeo and Juliet because I'm uncreative. The role play itself will focus on ten characters, five from each family. Various ages, occupations, and opinions, but the families are tight knots. The idea of this role play revolves around Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Hatfields v. Mccoy's. ]

Alright. We could assign certain elements to certain zodiacs, with what makes the most sense to their general personalities.

Okay, so I have been sitting in front of my computer for a few hours, drifting around the forums, back here and around and I just couldn't come up with anything for the zodiacs or a role play and I was just about to give up. For this, I apologize. However, I do think I found something to role play. Via the post of mine above your two posts - I just finished editing it - you'll find the idea. If you're still interested in helping me, that is great! If not, I understand. Below, if you click the SPOILER button, you'll find what I need help with c: 1. Descriptions of the Montague and Capulet households a. physical attributes b. personality traits c. magical abilities 2. Verona, Italy a. places to go b. common haunts of capulet's/montague's 3. A small set of rules 4. Graphics 5. Character Roles a. descriptions b. genders? 6. What caused the Feud? a. The History of feud 7. And anything else you think we need

100 letters - -"How can Midas put his hands on me again? He said "one day I'd realize why I don't have any friends" I find myself alone at night Unless I'm havin' sex But he can make me golden if I just showed some respect" Montague Household;; Ah, the Montague Household. Marked by their...less than cooperative personality traits, they are a tireless foe. You can always count on them to be dedicated to their family, creative with their decision making, and resourceful in a fight. Described as hot-headed and temperamental, if you get on their bad side prepare for a storm. Incredibly loud an pretentious, they like to one up their neighbors, and give their adversaries a run for their money. They are deceptive and cruel, but also charismatic and versatile. They tend to rely heavily on their faith and they have much religious zeal. Their upbringing tends to be kind of harsh, they rarely felt warmth - they've been raised to strike and kill, similar to snakes. They are kinder toward their siblings, more compassionate, definitely more loyal, but as a rule of thumb, Montague's trust no one, not even the ones they've been raised alongside. in order of oldest to younger: First Born [ m ] ;; hemokenisis. The Bull [ m ] ;; electromagnetism/radiation manipulation . Heck-raiser [ m ] ;; earth. Spitfire [ f ] ;; fire. Control Freak [ f ] ;; electricity.
Capulet Household ;; If you're looking for that tight-knit family who has each others back and their few cause for concern on the "can I trust my brother?" front, then you'll most definitely find the Capulet househould. Attentive and compassionate, they put family first, and then right behind that adventure and excitement. They love a good expedition. Among each oter they are imaginative and expressive. Toward their enemies, however, they can be a bit less...friendly. They are rowdy and can be rough, they're often scheming and they enjoy pulling pranks and aren't afraid to get their hands dirty. They can be childish and clingy and they act careless a lot of the time, putting themselves into unwanted danger. They can be inappropriate and facetious and while they love each other, they don't always get along with others. in order of oldest to youngest: The Eldest [ f ] ;; weather manipulation. The Mediator [ f ] ;; lucidity. Mr. Too Serious [ m ] ;; nature manipulation. The Bird [ f ] ;; air. McFreezo [ m ] ;; water/ice.

"I am a child of a Money I, I know where to lay I know what to say It's all the same And I, I know how to play I know this game"
THE history of montague v capulet: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed porttitor egestas dolor. Morbi consequat dui lorem, quis gravida ligula volutpat in. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Nullam vitae ex a tortor feugiat venenatis sit amet at ante. Vestibulum elementum mauris sed ipsum porttitor egestas.
where we are today *current plot: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed porttitor egestas dolor. Morbi consequat dui lorem, quis gravida ligula volutpat in. Interdum et malesuada fames ac ante ipsum primis in faucibus. Nullam vitae ex a tortor feugiat venenatis sit amet at ante. Vestibulum elementum mauris sed ipsum porttitor egestas.

Perhaps we do this: Capulet's: Ice, Air, Water, ect. Montague's: Fire, Electricity, Earth, ect. ???

Here's a list of the elements:
Fire Earth Air Water / Ice Electricity Weather Manipulation Hemokinesis Nature Manipulation Lucidity / Sixth Sense Electromagnetic Radiation Control
I know not all of them are elements, per se, but those were the ones I could come up with.

I know not all of them are elements, per se, but those were the ones I could come up with. If we split them between each house (which I think we should, since it would make it easier to narrow down traits) Capulet's: 1. Water/Ice, Air, Lucidity, Nature Manipulation, Weather Manipulation 2. Light hair, light eyes
Montague's: 1. Fire, Earth, Electricity, Hemokineses, Electromagnetic Radiation control 2. dark hair, dark eyes I'm working on lists of negative and positive personality traits for each house btw

Verona
Verona, the city between Milan and Venice, is a wonderful place to indulge in art, architecture, and opera. The city is on the Adige river in Italy, just outside of the Alps. The weather is hot in the summer, and cold and humid in the winter. Remains of the colony of 89 BC can still be found in the city.
Verona has several places of interest, including:
The Roman Amphitheater Commonly known as the Arena, this monument is a symbol of this city. Formerly used for hosting gladiator matches in the first century, the Arena is now a popular tourist attraction. The grand structure takes on a chromatic appearance, from the exterior being covered with both bricks and marble.
The Church of San Zeno Maggiore A model of Roman architecture, the church dates back to the 12th century. Paintings upon the wall and statues decorate the inside.
Verona Bridges Seeing as the city of Verona is set on the Adige river, bridges play a vital role in the layout of the city. The oldest bridge, the Stone Bridge, links the Roman Theatre to the city center. Many of the bridges have been rebuilt after they were bombed or collapsed.
Castelvecchio This fortress was built to defend the city from not only external dangers, but also from internal riots after instability of power. It is linked to the Scaligero bridge, which provides an escape into the countryside. After the fall of the Scaligeri family, it was used as a weapons hold, and then a barracks. The fortress has the main courtyard and parade ground to the right, and the Scaligera mansion to the right.
[ I'm not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but here's what I came up with. A lot of the sites just told me the same POI in Verona. >.< ]
