The Sentinal is an ancient immortal being who has watched over the world for millennia, silently defending it against an unknown evil which has now laid dormant for centuries. As the darkness reawakens, the Sentinal knows that their strength is fading and that they can no longer protect the world alone. Instead, they must find humans around the world with good intentions and pure hearts and grant them the abilities necessary to help defend the world from certain annihilation.
At least, that's the pitch for a new TV show, geared towards teens and young adults. A bit corny, action with the potential for drama, and just enough room for something resembling "diversity." Still, who knows how the show will change with casting, writing, creating a pilot, and everything in-between?
This will be a roleplay about the creation of a superhero TV show currently called "The Sentinals." The roleplay will focus both on the actual creation of the show (the acting and whatnot) and the lives of the characters who are involved in its creation. It's a sort of slice-of-life roleplay spiced up with whatever action and whatnot comes with the show. Characters will consist mostly of the actors in the show, but others are welcome too- directors, writers, make-up and costume artists, set designers, or even just "regular" people who have close(ish) relationships with the actors. For the most part, characters will be small-time celebrities (or the children of celebrities), but some will be regular people who have gotten to where they are through luck and hard work (and of course that's bound to create some drama).
This roleplay will be semi-lit/literate, in order to keep things interesting and moving nicely. The rp itself might be done privately (in messages or somewhere else) and then the "episodes" and anything else public (like interviews with the actors/creators, or whatever) would be posted to a thread or something, as a written story or perhaps comic. Then there could be "community feedback" where others not directly involved in the rp would be welcome to interact with the "show" as real-life fans would, with critiques or fanfic or anything else. Not sure how that would work out but it might be a fun little thing to do.
As for the plot of the show... that's pretty subject to change if anyone has any better ideas. The interest poll said "superheros" for the show so I tried to come up with something that was kind of simple but not super horrible and I'm really not sure if I succeeded or not (not super stoked about the current plot, but it could work I guess). So if anyone has any other ideas to contribute, I'm open for it. Still, don't wanna get too in-depth with the plot before the rp... that'll be up to the characters who are the writers ;) also, the characters in the show will not be made based around the characters in the rp... instead, the show roles will be made first, and the characters will have to "audition" for those roles. Maybe they'll get them... maybe not. Or maybe they'll end up with a completely different character. Only time will tell.
So, who's interested? Any ideas to contribute?
