I have no exposure to American comics whatsoever.

Most are pretty good as far as "OOH, LOOK CAWMIX" go, but for something really deep and thought provoking, read Sandman by Neil Gaiman. You can find a huge collection of Sandman at Books-A-Million.

Somebody had toyed around with the idea of a lantern corps RP, and several people expressed interest . . . myself among them.

SO, I know people were saying that there isn't many RP's for more experienced among us, and that there's been a few ideas floating around too.

Now I remember seeing that Bioshock trailer a while back and there was a bit of a buzz about it, so why don't we actually do it? Could be fun, steampunk isn't really a genre that RP ventures into much, so it could be quite interesting biggrin

I was inspired by that bioshock trailer, alchemy classes in 5schools (though I'm a little hesitant about including magic in a steampunk setting) and a song I like from a sound track lol. I also have a few Ideas about plots but nothing concrete yet...

rough back story
I kinda wanted to weave it into the multiverse that Articx and I have made by using the 'shard'. He suggested an 'animate shard', which can animate any inanimate object, possessed by an inventor who creates a fleet of household robots *cough hack8 irobot *COUGH* that run autonomously without the need to refuel. They work using power given to them by the animate shard, but are ultimately all still under the control of the original inventor. He abuses this by using the robots like a personal army, and since they've been distributed all around the world it doesn't take long for him to seize control.
Of course this is only an idea, not saying it has to be this.

rough setting, plot and characters
The setting could be anywhere. I think a city could maybe be too small, but I also think a country could be too enclosed... World wide might be too big as well, but it does open up more possibilities such as submarines and airships biggrin But over all it would be steampunk.
The objective of the RP would be to defeat the inventor, simple enough and not all too simple with the hordes of robots and other things in your path.
Our characters would consist of a team of individuals who have never trusted the robots of the inventor and even though the characters are of course each person's own creation, I was thinking having everyone being being various other inventors. The reason being that if your character is just some citizen then there's a high chance of them missing out on any wonderful and fabulous gadgets, and we don't want that!

Go for it, if you're fine with me disecting it and using little bits and pieces smile


And yeah eyl, whats that? lol bet its obvious and I just don't know the name  

[Panpear]

Urban - relating to or concerned with a city or densely populated area (referring to modern cities)
Fantasy - a genre that uses magic and other supernatural forms as a primary element of plot, theme, and/or setting.

(Definitions pulled from the interwebs).

So an urban fantasy is (most likely) an RP taking place in the modern age in a city, where fantastical elements are added (either through superpowers, discovery of magic, mystical creatures, or it sticks to 'real' tech only the characters are in fantastical fields, such as being international thieves or something).

Though now that I searched for the entire phrase, I think the wikipedia article does a better job of describing it. XD

Donno about a plot though

Hi, I'm aquamat, but you can call me mat for short. I love rping, especially fantasy and sci-fi (though I would go for a steam punk rpg, that would be awesome) I also like video games, riding bikes, ect.
