You all know how it is. I have a few rps going on right now and I'm taking a class, but I've still got free time. What's the best way, in my opinion, to spend that time? Creating worlds! Imagining beautiful things and people and places.
Soooo....anyone want to do what with me? I haven't gone real deep in creating a world in a while. It'll be advanced and pretty high-concept. I think they work best in an rp setting if several people are involved in the process because then everyone feels equal ownership over the ideas. It would be great if I could get a couple of people who are willing to toss around ideas with me. We'll probably create through the weekend and then start up the rp itself.
Anyway, I don't have a strict vision yet. The only inclination I have is to do something with futuristic elements mixed with fantasy. I had a fun dream last night and I think parts of it could be used. So my plan is to tell you about my dream and then we can pick out the parts we like. Warning, there are some wild ideas in here. We do not have to use them all. Just throwing things out to get us going.
- It was basically a kingdom drama with aspects of time and interdimensional travel. There were essentially two royal families, I think? One had the ability to teleport in an instant. So there were all of these places they could go to, which made them powerful because they could go anywhere they imagined and make allies from their world. Some members of the family can even travel through time? The other family had the ability to meddle with the world around them, making spectacular visions to trick and amaze any they encountered. Again, different members of the family have slightly different powers. For example, one can change their own appearance from their face to the clothes they wear. Another can use illusions to create animals/plants. Historically the two have been enemies, but the dream started with them coming together? I think it was a marriage as a means of forming an alliance. The reason they decided to team up was because there were these wolf-like demons called World Eaters who could travel between dimensions and destroy entire worlds. Not really sure how that worked, again, it was a dream.
Does any of that, even one small detail, interest anyone? Hmu if so. We can scrap certain things and expand on others c:
EDIT 3/24/2021: I added a new poll just to see how many people are planning on joining. I'm currently planning on opening tomorrow night and want to have an idea of what we're working with.

Woooo! We've got at least one lurker. So I'm just gonna keep posting to (hopefully) entice them. Until someone comes in and tells me it's a terrible plan, I'm using all of my ideas. In this post I will explain things more clearly so it doesn't seem quite so chaotic. Still a ton of room for planning, so plz come hang out.
The world: Multiple kingdoms with a very diverse landscape of vast stretches of forest, desert, mountains, islands, etc. The level of technology is something I could use help deciding on. Should the aesthetic be more like traditional fantasy? Or should there be more of a scifi element with guns and spaceships? Or somewhere in between?
Family #1: Called something cool like the Travelers or the Vanishers or something to that effect. Perhaps they rule over a bunch of ambassadors or peacekeepers who are scattered around the world. So they're still considered a nation, and a wealthy one, even though they don't have a large home territory? They are powerful because they have connections all around the world. Could also be known as vultures because they show up to make a profit whenever a disaster's about to happen. Like family #2, there will be at least one parent and maybe 3-6 adult children. Potential powers:
- Traditional teleportation
- The use of portals to move objects/other people
- Time travel???
- Temporal manipulation
- Etc.... (suggestions welcome)
Family #2: Rules over the largest nation and the most traditional. Much more of king/queen sitting in a beautiful castle type vibe. Called something cool like the Fabricators or the Illusionists or something to that effect. They are prosperous and both loved/feared by their people because of their power. Everyone in the family can perform illusions of some kind. Traditionally hate family #1 because they're always meddling in their business. The grandfather is a dragon who was once a man, and he can infiltrate thoughts (or maybe he can "see" around the universe, which is what alerts the families to the world eaters)? Potential powers:
- Illusions of appearance/shapeshifting
- Illusions of surroundings (making a ballroom seem like a garden, for example)
- Dream manipulation (omg inception)
- Illusions of feeling (making someone feel like they're burning, for example)
- Etc...
Plot: The world is threatened when interdimensional beings called World Eaters begin to nibble away at the world, causing entire swaths of land and population to simply disappear. The World Eaters come in the form of portal-hopping wolves which are nearly impossible to track. Anyway, Family 1 and 2 come together, marking their alliance by at least one (maybe two?) marriages. Together they must come up with a plan for stopping the World Eaters. And maybe there will be a war with another nation going on at the same time so we can have multiple plotlines?

Don't mind me, just wasting time by making a layout until somebody comes to keep me company

you have enticed me with dragons and world eaters :3
in terms of technology advancement, what this idea makes me think of is disney's treasure planet - high sci-fi vibes, but with the aesthetic of older fantasy. like there's a ship of ye olden days but jazzed up with magic-powered rockets. maybe there are horse-drawn carriages, but the horses themselves are automated bots with neon blue eyes and fly across the city line
i can already think of a character for the illusionist family that just gets... stuck in their dreams sometimes x3

Alright, here are some of the ideas I had pop into my brain. You guys can post any images that you think of too! (like willow's carriages drawn by mechanical horses)
- Similar to treasure planet, 18th century inspiration mixed with galactic aesthetic/setting. Ships with sails travelling around the solar system
- The Illusionists living on the dark side of the moon for the most habited planet. The moon is where the wealthies/most successful people live. Image of a 18th century city with lots of lights. Light side too bright/hot to sustain life for long?
- Multiple planets in the solar system, but one houses most of the people. Somewhat similar to earth with a very diverse population. Another planet that's entirely water but has some man-made islands, including the home base of the Travelers/Vanishers. Sea monsters? Mermaids?
- ...

i am a fan of a homemade solar system c: like a small system where you can hop to planet to planet with relative ease. outer wilds has inspired me in that regard! plus being able to soar around on ships from planet to planet sounds like a delight!
ooh, i really like the idea of illusionists living on the dark side of the moon! they’ll just be like, sun, what sun? oh, you mean the ball of flaming death? yes vampires are attracted to this realm but they're usually nice people, really into historical accuracy though
also yes to sea monsters and mermaids! like maybe the planet is completely covered with water and is constantly storming/raining, so maybe underwater bases? conflict with the sea creatures already living there?
plot wise, small and personal subplots always help me out in the midst of a larger plot. like, maybe the big overarching plot is really simple, like the families trying to stop the world eaters. then there are smaller subplots, like someone who is about to get married off but accidentally falls in love with their bodyguard, maybe some people get shipwrecked on a planet, maybe one person has a personal grudge against eh world eaters but is prevented from becoming a world eater fighter for some reason, or maybe another person attempts to start a cult worshipping the world eaters

on my end the text is a little dark to read, so boosting the contrast/making the text lighter there would work great. the layout design looks fantastic by the way!
