Pokewriter1 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 So, I found this cool idea where you take a song's lyrics and formulate them into a roleplay. Or multiple depending on how long the song is. I want to try this out and see how it goes. So, I want to see if anyone wants to try it out as well. Basically what you do is you take the lyrics of a song and make a very sketchy plot to it, meaning you don't want the plot to be perfect yet. You want to leave room for the plot to change and flow with the lyrics as well. That's really all the basics of it. You form the characters in any way you want to. Unless the song calls for a certain past, they can be any way they want. 1: I am not always on because of my classes, but I will respond during my lunch break if my phone hasn't died on me somehow. 2: This is a testable thing, so I'm not sure what will happen, but it will be fun. 3: You don't have to listen to the song. You'll just need the lyrics. ((They will be posted in a spoiler on the first post)). 4: Any type of song is welcome for suggestion. 5: This can be either a 1/1 type of rp or it is even open to be a group rp. I don't know what will really happen. Song ideas: "I Need Your Love" By Calvin Harris (feat. Ellie Goulding) "Only Teardrops" By Emmelie De Forest "My Demons" By Starset "Emotionless" By Good Charlotte "Over My Head ((Better off Dead))" By Sum 41 "The Hell Song" By Sum 41 "Hand to Hold" By SuperchicK Those songs are not everything, if you have a suggestion, please tell me. Those are just the ones I have a general idea for -that I can remember at this time of night-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Prince Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hey, I know you posted this back quite a few days ago… but as a writing prompt this was very interesting to me. I listened to each song and tried to come up with a concept for each one, so here are the ones I thought were my best: My Demons - In a fantasy setting, demons are actually humans infected with something that turns them into demons. A cleric hides one from hunters while trying to find a cure. Over my Head - A homeless man is taken in by a seemingly kind person, but quickly ensnares the homeless person so that leaving would have serious consequences, and shows his true colors as a sadist! Hold - Another fantasy. A nomadic tribe is slaughtered by a troop of soldiers- all but one; who was the target to be captured, as he has a holy power. He is saved by a member of an underground resistance in order to recruit him. I'd love to hear what you think :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokewriter1 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 Wow those are really cool actually o.o I can't decide if I like the Over My Head (Better off Dead) or My Demons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Prince Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oh, thank you ^^ I'm good with either, though I'm a little partial to say "My Demons" since I'm in a few contemporary role-plays already >3> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokewriter1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 XD I see. I just had one idea for that one and that was maybe the clerc actually being a hunter instead because forbidden romances always spice it up just a little bit....

Noise Prince Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Oooooh! Yes, yes! I love that! ^D^ A hunter would actually work better plot-wise, too, since they're more involved with other hunters, while a cleric might not have as much opportunity story-wise.

Pokewriter1 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah, and it adds a more dangerous element of getting caught to. Which is always fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Prince Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Haha, yes, I agree ^D^ So, we could have the demon-infected person already living with the hunter in hiding, or we could start before they meet? Or how would you like to go about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokewriter1 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 We could have them meet by accident maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Prince Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah, that'd be good. Like, the demon's already on the run, and the hunter, out of the kindness of his heart, offers to let him stay at his house for a while, neither of them knowing the other's real identity, until they're already in too deep?

Pokewriter1 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Yeah that works. We have doomed them from the start |D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Prince Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Haha, yeah! Isn't there a saying that goes something like "To be a writer is to be a sadist"? since the core of any good story is to make the characters suffer? Lol. So how much world-building and/or character sheets do you want to do before starting? I'm fine with jumping in to really elaborate stuff, though for a fantasy world like this it'd be good to know we're on the same page about the kind of fantasy world it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokewriter1 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 XD yeah I agree with that statement. Well we might need to decide what other creates the hunter is after and other things like that so we know things such as that.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
