Welcome to Gaia! ::

Once again, this thread is going up. If people would kindly post any potential RP story ideas they may have, that'd be fantastic. I'm not setting a deadline on how long this thread will be open, but I'm not planning on having it open any longer than a week. So, if you have an idea, people post it as soon as possible.

Once there's been a lot of plot ideas, or I'm just bored of having this thread open, I'll open a new thread for voting. The winning story will be adopted for the roleplay, and there will also be a prize for the winner. How's that for encouragement?

There will be no maximum limit for the number of entires someone can submit, but it's better to have just one or two well thought out stories than simply loads hoping you'll appeal to more people. Remember, it's not about the prize, it's about making a lasting roleplay.

Anyway. Go!

I actually share similar thoughts. We've tried a single planet RP before, but it was just little bit too restricting. What's Star Wars without the stars, eh? Maybe a few planets could work though.

One idea I've been toying with, but by no means have perfected, is a scenario where the Imperials have been completely defeated. The New Republic have control over almost all of the Galaxy and are over stretched, especially in terms of security. So, they hire private security companies to maintain the law. This, over time, has led these companies to dominate security and even come to blows with New Republic forces. Corruption and crime spread (as they always do) and the New Republic is actually forced back to only one planet (anything but Coruscant) which various private companies divide up the rest of the Galaxy.

So, the setting would be poverty and crime stricken cities where everything is privatised. The security forces charge people to stop crimes, so the poor never report them. Almost no Republic intervention as they have isolated themselves to only one planet (where the Jedi are) waiting for an opportunity for them to strike back at the monster they have created.

Like I said, it's not perfect. The story still seems a little weak to hold up. Any thoughts on how it could be improved?

How about a power struggle in a planetary system. Control is constantly going from one power to another and sometimes no power at all. Time period could after the empire or before the republic. We could create multiple factions or groups and all choose sides or you could be a bounty hunter or a squad who serves themselves. Since it's confined to a system it's not to large to where nobody sees each other but not confined to a planet so you aren't constantly running into each other.

I really like your idea. What sounds cool to me is the possibility of the "fight for freedom" cliche. We could have characters begin on a choice of backwater planets in alignment with their allegiance. (ex: Dantooine, Korriban) I'm not sure if allowing characters to be security would be advisable due to the possibility of galactic butt-rapage. And there shouldn't be a restriction to the class of your character and your alignment, so that all sides have fair pickings and the republic/jedi side doesn't just lightsaber it's way to domination. All types of characters choosing their side and dueling it out creating new galactic order would be cool imo.

aye. I'd also like to limit the amount of Jedi (for starting purposes) down to a team of like 4. 2 masters, 2 apprentices. As for the rest, anything goes. Locals, off-worlders, tradesmen, mercenaries, a random Jawa on fire, it's all good. Could even do a group as the local government and a few security forces while others play as rioters or something.

My idea, that I've been mulling over for a while is a kind of cross over event. Pick three times, say Galactic Civil War, Clone War and Mandalorian War and mesh them, bringing heroes and villains from all three {or just two if you want} together to fight each other. Or the Yuuzhan Vong War period too. Like, have young Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Leia Organa fighting alongside Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo fighting alongside young Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. And enemies would be like, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Malak and General Grievous and... well, you get my point.

I'm gonna leave this thread open a little longer. There are some really great ideas in here, and I think allowing a little more discussion could produce something epic we could use.

Well, I know this thread hasn't seen much activity in a while, but I have a very basic idea for an RP. I might as well put it forward.

Imagine a typical setting of the Republic being in control of the Galaxy. As in, completely in control. There's no Sith or Empire with small pockets of resistance. Exactly when this is set can be decided by someone else. I'm not too sure of the timeline. All that remains of the Sith are a tiny cult who remain reclusive on some remote planet. They could be more like Dark Jedi than Sith. Anyway, the story could start with a Republic planet rebelling against the current regime, and a Republic vessel, along with four or so Jedi (as mentioned in a previous post) sent to resolve the issue. The story can branch out from there.

Although, to keep some sense of direction to the RP, the original post of each thread could contain an objective for what is going on on that planet. As events unfold, these objectives can be updated (along with a summary of previous events) so that people are aware what is going on, and how to get involved with others.
