introduction what's up, gang? it's currently 12:30 at night and I'm overflowing with muse. enjoy my semi-coherent ramblings, and I pray that something somewhat decent can come out of the loose ideas I have for small groups.
basics • I want these groups small, with a max of five people. this is pretty strict. any bigger has a tendency to annoy me/turn me off pretty quickly.
• I want literacy and advanced roleplayers in these groups. I hate to be stingy, but I've got standards. minimum requirements I guess would be 3-5 paragraphs (5-8+ sentences, at least) per post
• I want roleplay activity. it's awful when a good idea can't get off the ground because people are so caught up in socializing instead of the plot. (not saying that chatter isn't good, but not if it's too distracting/not plotting)
ideas. 1. rising avengers. (inspired by Spider-Man: Homecoming) concept: a small group of rising superheroes in a large city combines their strength to serve the greater good. includes both domestic and school settings with action, drama, and crime fighting.
2. team heist. (inspired by Baby Driver) concept: a group of criminals, infamous for their strings of extremely successful heists, struggles to maintain its place on top as internal cracks form. includes drama, action, and violence.
3. new marauders. (do I have to say what inspired me?) concept: a bunch of rabble rousers become friends in one of the world's top wizarding schools. shenanigans and mischief of all kinds ensue. includes fantasy elements, possibly drama, many domestic scenes in a school setting.
4. band tour. concept: a band's rising success puts them on the road for a tour. does it tear them apart, or does it draw them closer? mostly drama.
not all of these ideas are well thought through--which is where you all come in! I need you all to input which ideas you like best/see working out the best, and then help me develop things such as: plot, character dynamics, characters, etc. wanna help? super. leave a comment, cool cats, and let's get crackin'.

The band idea is my favorite, it's so unique compared to the others imo))

scar: thanks sm for stopping by! yes ofc I'd love your help, I'm honestly so glad you reached out? anyway, which one of these plots makes the most sense to do on a group scale, in your opinion?
robin: yeah. we'll see. thanks for your input.
Salted Squid; hey there! I really loved the band idea too tbh, only problem is, I dunno how easy it would be exactly to roleplay it. you know what I mean? like how many different plots/scenarios could we possibly think of? I don't wanna throw it out just yet, though.
.: thanks my dude! just to start, mind telling me which one of these ideas seems the most doable/interesting to you?

Honestly they all look pretty good. My only thing with the band one is that would you require people to have knowledge of music for it? Because liked I'd be interested in it but have no knowledge of music or how to play an instrument. So based off that I think one of the others would be better. The band one isn't bad it's actually pretty cool and unique it just depends on that whole music knowledge thing I guess

yeah, I hear both of you loud and clear. imo, it wouldn't be the easiest idea to do, although it might seem like the most attractive one. it's just too complicated and requires too much outside knowledge to really have a lot of fun with. thanks for your input guys! it's a shame we have to move away from that direction, though. I really liked that idea--I think it's better suited for an actual story or fanfic, or something like that, versus a group roleplay.
I do agree with Scar, though--the rest of the ideas could really work and be a lot of fun. as far as preference goes, though, I'm definitely leaning towards more of the New Avengers (gotta think of a different group name though. it sounds so cheesy imo haha), but I'm also totally fine with Team Heist. for either group, to facilitate character interaction and plot stuff, I think we need either some personality slots to fill or some job spots to fill (ex: a hotheaded character versus a character that's skilled with technology). guess we can decide on those later.
I'm really thinking about moving forward with the superhero idea, though. I love the idea of these teens having to balance being awkward high schoolers with their street alter egos. what do you think, gang?

rad rad, so I guess we're doing that then? oh boy oh boy I am excite
so I guess we need some positions to fill? here are some off the top of my head, as uncreative and hackneyed as they may be. pls help me - the leader. charismatic, bubbly, hard not to like kinda guy. strong moral compass, and stubborn as hell. - the black sheep. an enigma. almost always in opposition to the leader. more of a survivalist, less of a diplomat. - the,,, uh - yeah that's all I got. s.o.s pls someone help me (it's not healthy,,, for me to feel this WAAAy)

ooh I do like the ones you came up. I'll make a hybrid/combo list sort of thing, drawing a lot of inspiration from yours. thank you Scar!!
and probably no more than five, Ariat. roleplays basically any bigger than that overwhelm me pretty quickly, and I like this idea, so I wanna try and keep my muse for it ahaa

hello hello... my god I have Not Been Active here and yikes idk why?? sorry tho, I'm still super into this idea guys
anyway!! so I've solidified my idea for the group roles a little more, and here's what I've decided on. (subject to change but prob not likely tbh) - the leader. charismatic, bubbly, hard not to like kinda guy. strong moral compass, and stubborn as hell. - the black sheep. an enigma. almost always in opposition to the leader. doesn't believe in being politically correct. - the pacifist. nurturing, worrisome. struggles with the fact that sometimes violence is the answer - the loose cannon. outgoing but wild, to the point of becoming troublesome and obnoxious. worries about little and doesn't like to plan. - the newcomer. the group's newest member. generally unfamiliar with how each member operates. a little bit of a liability.

any criticism of the list?? I'm willing to take it honestly, I really want this to be good as possible
another note: we need to determine a location. should we go with the cliche (but honestly not a bad option) NYC? it's got everything we could want--lots of crime, lots of high schools, and a lot of niche back alleys where costume changes/secret squad meetings could take place. we could also opt for somewhere just as dangerous but less used, like a Detroit, or Los Angeles, or Boston, maybe. (tbh I do like New York, but I'll let you all put in your two cents first)

thank u!! you helped :'^)
ok! so uh.. guess we'll go with that then! yell heah
uh. tbh I think the only other things we need are: - layout? something simple honestly, I might just dig something up, but if any of you could contribute this, I'll give you my firstborn child - plot?? that's why I included the newcomer tbh, so they could be a kinda recurring subplot, but we need something else going on, too. this is gonna take place in the Marvel universe, post-Civil War, so..? a lotta stuff went down then. what could we do now? lowkey have no ideas - joining form. easy, breezy beautiful, Covergirl. I'll handle that later on - los rules. again, easy.

It's honestly not a problem. Since I've finished my research, I've had very little to do. I can try to get it done either tonight or sometime tomorrow night. I'm watching Big Brother currently, and it's sadly my top priority bc they just backdoored on of my faves. But anyway. I can throw something together pretty quickly. Colors? Any graphics? Etc? I'll try to think of stuff as well. Yeah, I missed the last eviction uvu but Dom is just </3 But Paul tho
