So, after struggling to decide whether to join the Ixian Knights or The Order of The Crimson Hand, I figured that I'd see about making my own powergroup.
Part of the reason for my struggle was about how to make my new character fit into either (or both) groups, given their history and purpose, etc. It then dawned on me that, whether called powergroups or anything else, regardless of the site, these groups often have their history and purpose pre-written by whoever starts them.
Which made me think about doing things a little differently: What if, rather than just writing out a history, it is all roleplayed instead?
So my idea is basically to make a powergroup that is right at the beginning of its journey and growth. Essentially, the concept is along the lines of starting out as just 'buddies in a bar' trying to figure out ways to make money and survive in the world, then have the group grow and develop into something noteworthy and influential. The basis being that the RPers all help shape the history and structure etc of the group via 'real' roleplaying.
And now to the crux of this post: Who's interested?
Some extra information worth considering:
- This is designed for BRAND NEW characters, so that they can grow as the group does. This is definitely something I'll insist on, at least for the initial recruitment.
- Any sort of character is welcome.
- Ideally looking for awesome writers.
- There is only need for a few characters to start things off, and after getting two or three people involved, I will get the ball rolling.
- Character creation may need some collaboration, as, although I don't have an end-game planned, I do think the idea of friends in a bar is a great starting point, so will be going from there.
- You can ask me if you need to know anything else. Either in here, or in the chat.
Let me know what you guys think!
