This is gonna sound strange but I'm wondering something...how would insanejournal roleplayers feel about an illustrated play by only panfandom game? or original concept game? It'd allow anime characters, cartoon characters, video game characters/faces, various forms of artwork besides shitty webcomics that don't have any real facial details I know I got some fellow cartoony goers who love anime faces and such besides celebrities? This journal actually has a concept I want to do about fighting ghouls with cameras and mirrors.
there's also a reimagining of Sailormoon with all OCs. I have a heavy story for this actually, written up in notepad. Direction of plot and all that good stuff, with his dark material as a heavy inspiration as well. I didn't get to do awhile back but a virtual reality shifting game where characters transverse through a real town and the virtual reality city that can become anything. It's an experiment of sorts and they need you to do it.
I know, insane is about them real faces but I don't know, why not something different? I know I got fellow Anime nerds around here somewhere. Cartoon nerds, video game nerds! Illustrated in general nerds. It'd be hard to find icons though, so if you'd find me a gallery, I'd be willing to do icons for you if I can figure out photoshop elements. I need the real deal.
Hm a superhero game as well because those haven't really been done much lately. And I always wanted to do something based off the animanga Seraph of the End, which sets a great tone for a panfandom game.
Silent Hill done with illustrated ocs would be super interesting. You can even use artwork of real people playbys as well. Or a supernatural based game. What I love about illustrated is there's so many expressive faces to use that can often be comical!
Anyway, if you're interested, let's cast a vote here...
Sailormoon (all ocs with reimagining., royal families and extra slots like Moon Assassin, Moon Knight, Moon Calculator, King, Queen etc etc. Set in Los Angeles but! definitely a starseed kinda thing)
Superheroes or X-Men/Marvel and even DC, perhaps even next generation with a whole new plot of sorts if I can wreck my brain for something good, gooey and doable. There's plenty of illustrated faces that use normal hair colors and stuff too. But then we got people like quicksilver, betsy braddock and Polaris having kids, so you know we can use some anime faces there.
Silent Hill (panfandom and ocs) some slice of life elements. Exploring the actual town when it's not in the otherworld/hellworld with downtime from evil times. Characters discovering town history and such, being free to come and go as they please as first but slowly it comes to head and Silent Hill isn't about letting it's residents and visitors go anymore. Maybe with some tie ins to The Shining as well, just some elements from it.
Seraph of the End (panfandom and ocs) go look it up if you don't know what it's about
American Ghoul http://americanghoul.jcink.net <-- read over some of the information. I'd probably go more indepth for IJ and not all of it was finished. It was meant to be a Riverdale panfandom but I don't know if we can find Riverdale faces on zerochan and pixiv.
Supernatural OC Game, I actually have an original plot to go with this. Basically Slayer type people protect the netherworld gates, there's a school of sorts for the gifted, and it's kinda buffyish set in a bigger city than Sunnnydale and possibly set in the 90s despite being illustrated.
ReImagining of Resident Evil, not panfandom but actual canons and ocs
A fantasy based type of game set during a time of heavy war, so it'd be panfandom but ocs too. It'd be more like slight modern fantasy with high fantasy elements as well. Advanced Technology would be present in some lands for example. I actually have an old game I never published or used that I could use this for. And I'd enjoy translating it to insanejournal big time.
Media (tv, shows, anime, video games, movies, books etc etc) spirits panfandom of sorts using anime playbys and other illustrations as well. The difference would be no one's coming through portals, they've always lived here all there lives. Basically once upon a time but with a grittier, heavier plot I have in mind. It's a little like my Sailormoon game to be honest, but I could change that up.
There's also a game heavily inspired and technically a reimagining of the Anime Blue Seed. I'd give all the details but I don't wanna incase old school animanga lovers get interested. Basically There will be canon roles for OCs, twelve sacred blood chosen, twelve mitama protectors, enhanced users (using Aragami DNA) and natural gifted. All in the Aragami Destruction Task force, along with normal members and also playable civilians. Basically they fight against the Aragami but there's more to it than that. Look up Blue SeeD, it might interest you. Pretty awesome anime.
One more; a game based around the web-based game and story of Exmortis. Basically it would be apocalyptic but somewhat more safe to be out and about instead of having only a few minutes to find shelter. We'd have to do a traveling group or go underground. I always imagined the exmortis find you right away, there'd be more plot elements then survival and hiding.
And in the end, we could do this with highhopes too, just reimagine it with illustrated faces big time. I think people lost interest and that's quite alright, but maybe a different spin might do.
Basically I'm interested in all of these, have time to dedicate to being a single mod on deck with all hands on deck while playing a couple characters and npcs to fulfill story stuff or someone could help if they wish. I just want something different besides real life faces and yes, I realize we have dreamwidth but I love insanejournal dearly, much easier to navigate, more icons, and no stickler for one hundred percent fanciness. I also want to bring a breath of fresh air to the server. There are a lot of new and interesting games lately though, so I'm proud of y'all for that. I just want something illustrated and I'm willing to do the hard and dirty work in order to get it off the ground, get it running and keep it running for a long time to come.
As a side note; I know a lot of you work all the time and lead busy lives but if you're not on board to be a full fledged helper mod, then you can always help me brainstorm new plots for panfandom side-wide plots if we/I go that direction whenever you're around and I need a little help. or even an all original game that may need an extra brain to keep it fresh.
