It's been a LOOOOOONG-ass time since I've done a group RP so I came up with a colossal idea because why not?
Maybe this isolation/pandemic stuff is going to my brain, but I thought "WHAT BETTER IDEA FOR AN RP THAN STUFFING 12 CHARACTERS INTO A HOUSE AND NOT LETTING THEM LEAVE KINDA LIKE HOW I CAN'T LEAVE MY HOUSE NOW?"
That's the premise. Characters based on zodiac signs (Western Horoscopes or Chinese Zodiac idk, we'll take a vote I guess) live together kind of like Big Brother or whatever trashy reality tv show crap you're watching to pass the time these days. Random challenges and chaos will ensue.
So that's a bit of the premise. Basically, we have 12(?) characters, stuck in a building together, but there's a couple twists.
1. Each character is based on a zodiac sign -so some personality traits are predetermined. I'll use a Zodiac-personalities guide and list the character traits e.g. Saggitarius; Smart, caring and deep BUT impatient, careless and boastful.
You can choose your sign from those that are available, so pick the traits that best align with your idea of the kind of character you want to play or pick your own sign. Each sign has 3 positive and 3 negative traits so choose wisely since it could affect your strategy in the House.
Everyone gets to pick one (or more if we double up) of the twelve and there are no duplicate roles (there won't be 2 Virgos or 3 Capricorns etc or if we go Chinese zodiac, 2 Rats and 3 Rabbits etc). Once someone picks Virgo, the next person cannot pick that sign and so on until no more signs remain. Alternatively, signs can be randomly assigned if players want a challenge/surprise.
2. The characters will be free to roam the house and interact but there will be "house challenges" or missions.
3. Characters will be eliminated from the main house via anonymous vote by the other players (perhaps two at a time so eliminated players aren't bored on their own)... so this is an RP you can lose (in theory). Your goal is to earn the trust of other players or take down other characters and make it to the final three.
4. Once a character is booted from the Zodiac House, they're gone. I'm considering opening a second thread or something "Life After Zodiac House" where players can continue to play with each others characters post-elimination if they want. I don't know exactly how this rp as a whole will work so, suggestions, advice, ideas whatever are all welcome!!!
ALTERNATIVELY; We could narrow it down to 6 characters/players out of 12 signs and instead of eliminations we could just have fun with these characters without the pressure of challenges/eliminations.
Lemme know your thoughts.
