I would like to brainstorm superheroes!
Making a distinction between the two popular trends: one being SUPERS that dress up and fight crime, and usually including leagues of evil and justice. The second would be mutants or people with abilities, who are mostly everyday people who try to fit in with their powers.
I prefer the Supers, personally, because I think of the Incredibles and giggle.
The only thought I had to combining it with zodiac would be that the hosts are Supers who'se powers come from the zodiac and they represent the zodiac... Sort of like Sailor Moon... And Ophiuchus would be the super villian, him and his Snake wink

Supers would be way more fun! We'd dress up in tights and capes and masks! There'd be, like, the supers, the villains, and the mercenaries, who side with which ever team will pay the most. That would be so much fun, if we could make enough rooms.

eran no shi the Question is what kinda rooms XD superhero's in general would be awesome but mixing them together is like a fangasm come true xD Yeah,, I'm not sure what would be good for rooms. Hmm... I mean, what would the plot be? And we'd have to be careful not to break copyright. Oh, actually, this might mesh well with classic literature. Supers based on books. Like, the plots of the books are altered to accommodate superheroes.

Well, zodiac does give easy options for rooms and it's easily adaptable to animal or superpower-based themes.
About having the western and eastern ones on different sides, we could either lump Ophiuchus with the westerns or have him be a rejected-standalone-traitor type character.
Hmm... that gives me an idea. Why not have Ophiuchus pretend to be the eastern snake zodiac animal, then show his true colors later on?

One of my other concerns with the Zodiac theme would be the number of rooms. I realize we've had quite a few rooms for a couple years in a row now, but I don't think that we have the same manpower that the AURB used to in order to maintain so many rooms. We'd have to see how many applicants we get for hosts and how many are qualified~
For Supers, we could organize the different "types" of heroes for rooms. Maybe tread a little into classic D&D alignment scales to assist. One room could be the Good League's headquarters, another could be an academy for younger Supers, another could be a kind of dive bar for Supers like Gambit, another could be some kind of underground/sewer gladiator ground for fighter-types and then there would be the villian's mansion... but not his hide out because he definitely wouldn't want to be giving away secrets.
Cross-overs could revolve around rivalries (even friendly ones) and the villian could be like the Glass Lady in our last ball where she went from room to room. He'd be up to absolutely no good, of course.
And we can get away with avoiding copyright by making up silly names for the heroes that are so similar that we all know what they are supposed to be, but the name isn't the same so we get away with it. For example, Spider-Bee instead of Spider-Man or Mouse-Man instead of Batman, etc. We could have a lot of fun coming up with ridiculous names.

Another theme that I saw had some merit was someone mentioning a space station of some kind. That could be a neat way to have a lot of rooms.. sort of like the Tower of Sins, but a space station instead!
Just tossing it out there... but maybe it's just because I've been hankering for a good Sci-Fi RP for awhile xD

For Western Zodiac, it would only be 6 rooms (2 per room). Same with Eastern. I really don't think we should do both though, because that would be way too many characters. One zodiac could be minor characters though.

I personally think the play on superheroes and the villains and the Zodiacs would be a really cool idea!
I especially love how Ophiuchus is the bad guy. Man. <3
Although the thing that worries me is the limitation of the classical superhero items on Gaia. Haha, my problems are so superficial.
Sorry, I would type more and try to contribute to the brainstorming, but I'm super braindead right now, and I wouldn't be able to think of anything that makes sense that you guys haven't already said to save my life, I swear.

One zodiac could be minor characters though. Agreed - we could really only do both if we were to decide which zodiac would be the main one. That could be a plot idea too, though. Maybe a conflict between eastern and western zodiacs....

I actually do not know. XDD I made it mostly for forums, but then put equal [list]s at the beginning as the end, and it worked. o:
I didn't expect it to work. XDD Maybe just try?
edditt;; Fail there.

Go ahead! I don't think they've fixed the rest of the coding though. :/ I need to test it as well.
And test it right here! 8D
