Discuss Silent Bliss - [M-SLV]

[Sui Generis]

[COLOR=Indigo]Well its been a while since I've been at OB, and even longer since I've started an RPG but I got an idea so tell me what y'all think...



[i]Dust. Silence.

The steady beating of Jerald's heart was all that was left on this desolate plane. Yet as the sweat dripped down his face, as he became more and more desperate he heard one thing. Quietly it began then slowly grew, it filled Jerald's head yet still grew. Jerald felt he could stand it no longer, and yet it still grew. The sound consumed his soul, it consumed Jerald completely, and yet almost as soon as it started it had stopped. Jerald stood for a second then suddenly the sound clicked in his brain. It was a recognizable sound, yet a sound he hadn't heard in so long.

Laughter.


There was no refreshment in this laughter though, it was the laughter of him. The creator and ultimatly the destroyer. It was the man who had created the machine, and the man who had destroyed everything.

The laughter rang out again, this time closer. This time, more human. A figure stepped out towards Jerald. It was a man, seemingly, yet his body was contorted and scared in every imaginable way possible, and some unimaginal ways. Through it all the figure maintained a sickening grace, and almost a happy appearance.[/i]

"Jerald, my love. Welcome to Silent Bliss. You are not the only one who has experienced my salvation, and you will not be the last. Can't you see? I chose you, I knew you would understand me. These people were pathetic, as all people are, yet you. You were different my son. I saved you for that very reason, and I will continue saving the ones like you. You will help me."

[i]Jerald's mind raced. What was going on? What was this man talking about? How had he saved Jerald? This "man" took away everything Jerald thought was dear. Jerald looked at the man and was about to speak when something unexplainable happened. He looked into the man's eyes. There was something surreal about the eyes, something...blissful.

Jerald nodded.[/i]

"Very well, what will you have me do?"

[i]The black clad man laughed. His laugh consumed the world, as it had consumed Jerald, yet this time he did not stop. The world began to tremble, and it suddenly fell away as if it was only dust. Suddenly the two were in an altogether different world. It was dark, everything was dark, yet there was a silent bliss that had suddenly appealed to Jerald.[/i]

"You my dear, dear Jerald will continue my work. I will be watching you, do not forget this, but you will bring the same Silent Bliss to other worlds."
-------------------------------------------------------

Yeriln, Jerald's world, disappeared in a blink of an eye. There was no explosion, there was no commotion. Jerald's world was not the first to have this happen to, through the ages thousands of worlds have come under the same fate as Jerald's world, and countless people have become the "chosen one" for Silent Bliss.

The man in black, that Jerald spoke to, was the founder of Silent Bliss. It is a magical machine that each chosen one must create. This machine envelopes a world, and changes it. It consumes the people, the plants, everything. It consumes the life. It leaves the world dead. Although through this all, it feeds all this life to the man in black, making him stronger. Making it possible for Silent Bliss to spread.

Silent Bliss is a plague, it is [i]the[/i] plague. If not stopped it is bound to destroy the universe.
----------------------------------------------------------

Jerald has entered your world, yet the man in black had begun to quickly, and attempted to destroy another world at the sametime. This world, Urino, was not completely destroyed. Another person survived, something the man in black did not expect nor see. Zachary followed Jerald onto your world.

Zachary is your only hope. He is the only survivor of Silent Bliss. The only person to ever survive the Silent Bliss uncorrupt. He holds the information, he is the key. He knows what it is, what its weaknesses are, and who is creating it.

He is the anti-silent bliss. Without his knowledge surely your world will perish, but he can not stop it by himself. Without your help, he will fail, and ultimately your world will fail. There is no way to say the man in black will ever make a mistake again, this may be the only chance the universe ever has to stop him, before he's to strong, before nothing but death remains.

Unfortunatly, Zachary has entered a world he doesn't understand. Although concievable as a coincidence the language is English (as English has become the universal language), but besides that nothing is the same. He doesn't understand the ways, nor does he understand the people. It is up to you (the helpers) to assist him in everyway possible, from showing him what to do, to protecting him.

Ultimately when Zachary begins his crusade Jerald and the man in black will know of his existance, and ultimatly try to destroy the variable in their equation.

---------------------------------------------------------

Basically I'm making this a little different that a normal RPG. The outcome is determined by the players, there can be death. People can die off, and ultimately Zachary, and whomever tries to help him can fail. Thats my basic idea for the RPG.


I'll be playing Zachary, whomever wants to play Jerald will need to talk to me and get a basis of how he should be played (Don't get me wrong it can be varied, just background and such.) I'm thinking of limiting the field to around 5 people, anymore than that I think would possibly get to cluttered and confusing.

What do you all think? Is it understandable? Any changes?



Do your worst. Tear it apart :)





EDIT: To the thoughts brought up by LRB I have entered them into the text itself but I'll also explain them out here as well...

1) The reason Zachary is so key is he is the sole survivor of Silent Bliss. He's the only person that wasn't the "chosen one" to survive it, and so he is the only one who knows anything about this. Obviously if an entire world is killed off "silently" by Silent Bliss no one knows about it. So therefor Zachary is key.

2) Zachary is new to this world. He has no idea of anything going on, but for simplifying sake we're saying that the universal language is English. So besides language barrier the RPer's pretty much have to help him with everything else. This includes protecting him from any number of dangers. (Other people, weather, whatever.)

3) As I said I'll be playing Zachary because obviously I'd know the most about this given RPG. Although I will be allowing someone to play Jerald, however, that will take the most work. So I'd have to be pretty impressed with either the effort, or post quality (or both) of this person.

[SIZE=1]Wow. That sounds really good Ril. Would you be playing Jerald or Zachary?

Anyways I think you should add a bit more detail, like how would we help Zachary. Why can Zachary do this and we can't. I don't know if I'm getting the whole point to this RPG but you should re-consider thinking through it.

Otherwise it sounds really cool. I don't normally like RPGs like this but you've amazed me.

You did your best, I tore it apart. :)

[FONT=Comic Sans MS][SIZE=1][COLOR=Navy]Hot dog, this rpg looks cool. Personally I think its evil and yet sadistically cool the way these planets are destroyed silently. Very very impressive. I think its a great rpg and a great idea.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
