I am also quite interested in joining this league. I remember there was a thread in which maps were suggested for the RPG...there are a handful there that could be of some use. If only I could just find that thread...

Squee said:We should start on a league wide RP. The last one I know about this league starting was "A Kingdom Darkly" and it crashed and burned miserably.
I know that I would be able to contribute. Hell, I could even be the main villain.
Recently I have been thinking of an RP that would involve all sorts of weaponry, which Kevin would be contributing to knowing his ways. This would vary from knives and spears to guns and various vehicles.
My idea was to have a league of people known for their evil and dark ways that have successfully taken over some kingdom that we can think up later, but within the league, some of the (wo)men are not as bad as others, and within the league comes conflict. Some of the members turning good, and others even worse. This way the people that wish to play as villains can easily play as a good villain.
The idea is that one of the members might go crazy and want to kill them all, another might have an unquenchable lust for power, one could be satisfied with what they have, another could be realizing the wrongs of his or her deeds.
but also despite them being the majority of the story, there would also be a rebel group that thinks of the tyrant league as a whole, meaning they would be viewed as bad people. This rebel group would be where the characters that always have been good belong. This ensures a place for everyone.
Technology in this world would be very unique, much like the various technologies of different final fantasies that we have seen (airships etc), but that would not be my place to come up with.
There could also be room for men who have no loyalty to the tyrants or the rebels, but are just people that want to make their living that could somehow get wrapped into the story.
Now, within all groups of characters, there could be specializations...like, Executioner, general, strategist, tactician, board of _________, and things like that
That's the idea I have to contribute to a league wide RP, but I'm still working on it
Anyone else want to contribute?
Squee said:OK, so now that I know who is willing to contribute...
Oliver, make me banners and a map (When I come up with the requirements that is)
Tipsy, if you could make out the type of technologies there would be (looking for more steam-punk) and maybe Kevin can help you
Diar, if you can think of anything to go into key parts of the story, that would be a big help
as for me, I'mma eat the icecream before it melts...
on a serious note, I will provide most of the story and all that
Anyone else is encouraged to contribute to the storyline. __________________
Squee said:Yeah that's basically what I was getting at. There also would be things such as in Ringo's working RP as well. I already have my character in mind...
So here is what I have so far...
The kingdom was under a peaceful rule, not perfect, there was still a large gap in social classes, but the rule worked. Among the former kings jurisdiction, there was still crime, but it was slowly being handled. Justice was slow, but it worked. There, people did their jobs and made their wages, no major conflicts.
But one knight, low in rank, formed a group of people willing to overthrow the king. This group has yet to be named tbh, but hey, it's still in work. The knight that formed the group managed to rise himself in rank while his underlings and fellow rebels secretly prepared for a battle. Since the leader had earned his way to the upper class knights, he now was easily able to study the castle. He learned it's weak points and strong points. Using this knowledge he was capable of sneaking his forces into the castle. However, things did not go completely as planned. The knight fell in battle. In the mess, the killer was unknown. By the end, the rebellious forces had slain every knight and executed the king.
It was decided that he who slain the king would become the new ruler, and the rebel force would become the army. However, the number of people within that rebel force has fallen greatly. Thus he who had slain the king chose to distribute power into parts for every member left. There were only 7 members left at the time. They now rule over the country with tyranny and fear.
However, over time, these Tyrants had begun to change. One might want everyone to obey him, while his ally beside him may want to bring order back to the world he had destroyed so many years ago.
Underneath these rulers is a group of people that choose to end this tyranny of fear, but they are unaware that the group is about to fall apart on its own. They have been training for years...ever since the fall of their previous king. They all have unique ideals, but they all have a common enemy, and so they have willingly have come together.
The person who had slain the king will be my character. He has slowly gained a sense of justice over the years, and now he seeks a fair world. His brother, which will also be controlled by me, is the opposite. His brother wants to rule over everything mercilessly to no end. He wants to see people bow before him out of pure fear.
Will the rebel force prevail? Or will the tyrants fall apart beforehand? How just will the next ruler be?
As for the characters that for now are dubbed "The Tyrants" will have divided power. I was unsure if to divide by sect or by specialization (executor, judge, scientist, etc.) or have both work together.
Still needs a lot of work, but it is now more fleshed out than before, and I was hoping to get ideas.

Ok then feel free to help tipsy with the technology aspect. If you want to draw a map, do it ASAP and imporvise, it might be the boost I need to get to work on more story.
Also, I never saw Star wars
