The World of Shannon Hale discussion

Before we open a new Role-play we should probably get some basic idea of what the story will focus on. Any ideas already?

It's being restarted again? O.o

Mmmmhmmm. Yeah. The other one died. Literally.

Maybe.... Speaker Supremacy? Some of the speakers are sick of being down played and made fun of and suppressed. Instead, they believe that they are blessed by the gods and "better" than the average person. Then there's the traditional group of good people who believe all of man kind is created equal.

Kinda like X-men, I guess

It ended? Wow.

Okay, I just went to read it. Nice job Klymey. XD

Wow, that's new.... WE AREN'T DELETING THE OLD ONE! RP and I were just talking about how we were regretting deleting our last RP that the one that just died replaced. I'm just gonna go...*checks* oh, never mind, someone already froze it. Good job, guys.

Hmmm...ideas.....I'd like to see something set maybe a couple years after Isi/Geric's reign.

Ooo, with Tusken as king. I like that. Klymy likes!!!

Thanks, RP. Glad you like the meteor shower.

yeah so now what do we do about a conflict sort of thing?

I thought the legacy was to good to delete. :d Besides we have to finish the "novel" sometime. :D


that would be cool. Tusken as king. Cute widdle Tusken. :D

haha wasn't Tusken from the roleplay before the one we just ended? if I remember right hahaha

Cute Widdle Tusken all grown up and a king. Awww. What if he had a childhood friend that is a girl? She and he are very close. Then a new girl comes in and intends to become queen..... and the childhood friend realizes that she loves him. So she tries to separate them. Little did she know that the new girl was essentially a terrorist, who wanted the Speakers to rule the world. The childhood friend creates her own group against the new girl... etc.

awww that would be cute :) wait so Tusken could be relatively young for king and not have a queen yet? is that what you're saying? and then the childhood friend loves him and she might be like an unofficial advisor (like if they're friends and if he keeps her around) and then it looks like she might become queen and this other new terrorist girl comes in and tries to become queen? hahaha that was a looong run on sentence... but yeah and then you could connect the townspeople speakers to that somehow

Yes. Young and Vulnerable. Isi and Geric can't still be alive, otherwise I don't think it would work. Enna could be alive, but still....

Or maybe we could do the child of Tusken....

Yeah, with Katherina as our lovely villainess and daughter of Selia who wanted to take control of bayern and planned to do so by blackmailing the 'second-generation fire sisters' (a good name for them in retrospect, i think)

Oh. So it was Katherina. Not Katerina. There's a difference....

I'm pretty sure it was Katherina...did was tell you differently, Klym? *doesn't remember*

You told me it was Katerina. *shudders* the Katerina I know is hardly what I'd call evil.... ;)

Oh goodness...well now that that's cleared up....

Hmmmmm Okay so Tusken is a teen, Isi and Geric are dead, but some of the other original characters are still around. there is a childhood friend of Tusken (I volunteer, lol) who's close to him, but then this other girl (little-miss-Selia-Katerina) comes and expects to eventually be queen with Tusken and she is a speaker. She wants the speakers to rule, hence her assumption. When the childhood friend figures out is going on and that she loves Tusken she tries to stop the other girl? And the childhood friend maybe doesn't have speech? But tusken does? That could put tension between the friend and him, while maybe the new girl and him hit it off?

I think that would be a great idea because last RP we had Speakers ad good guys, and this changes it up. :D Haha

A couple questions:
-Does Tusken have any younger siblings? If so, wouldn't it be logical to have Isi and Geric around? Unless maybe they are off for a while on an official trip or something? May be Enna and the other went with them? Otherwise how did they die?
-Did Selia have kids? I f so, then maybe I blanked. But we could always make it work.

Ah... Maybe Tusken is a little older, maybe 2o? The speeches don't have to be determined yet....

Tusken could have younger siblings... in fact, that sounds pretty awesome. Let's say Isi and Geric died in a freak accident...

Nope. Selia died before she could have kids. But we can make it so that during the few years that Selia disappeared, she had a child and secretly raised him/her. But the Selia child thing is a little overdone.

As Klym said, Selia didn't have any kids. Post #14 was referring to the first RP we had going in this group.

But we can still fabricate a story.

Listening to the note scene of Phantom of the opera. Laughing like crazy...

ME LIKEY!

You need to be more specific, Way... ;)

this sounds a bit like the first rp, no? didnt that have tuskan and seila's kid in it?

how about we go back this time, before Isi people don't really know about speakers.

or waaaay in the future and we could make some sort of new country that popped up- a speaker country.

Going back in time sounds good. But from what Isi's aunt told her, it seems like Speakers used to be well respected. Maybe, Speakers used to be considered "Better" that non-speakers. And maybe non-speakers would be considered their slaves, or of a lower caste. Then, there is a revolt, and the non-speakers become more dangerous, or something. They find peace and balance between the speakers and non-speakers. But the non-speakers continue to live in constant fear of the speakers, so they begin to slowly crush the speakers, by poisoning the water, killing them off, one by one. The remaining speakers flee to the mountains. And then this is when Isi's story begins

No. but I thought that Dahlia was somehow related. finn was a descendant of Tuskan's line though.

Yeah I think maybe Tusken could be like 20 something and sure a younger sibling or two might make it more interesting. and yeah in order for him to be so young, maybe Isi and Geric died in a.... carriage crash or something hahaha

or yeah it could be a little farther afterwards like Tusken's children or something

hahaha I'm basically okay with any of the ideas people are bringing up

Okay so do we have a plot?

Okay.....so if that is true then we need to decide who plays who. Now I know I volunteered to take Finn's kid friend....but then it was pointed out that I was the main romantic interest last Rp.....and I guess I kinda am in PA aren't I.... soooo if someone would like to take a stab at the friend, I will step down and they are welcome to RP her. If no one wants to then I will graciously accept the job.

So just letting you know, if you want to.

I don't think we really want any of the real characters, like Enna, or Finn in the story, so why not Great- Grandchildren. Maybe there could be a seemingly senile Rin in it too. Oh, that'd be fun to RP

Hannah wrote: "No. but I thought that Dahlia was somehow related. finn was a descendant of Tuskan's line though."

No... Dahlia wasn't related. I just created her out of pure evil. Spawn of the Christian version of Hades. ;)

Okay...so a few generations later...
I mean if we had the originals it would be hard to do justice. :D

My opinion exactly. Why don't we wrap this up? We need a mod decision I think

Okay...

So, a few generations down the road. Speakers = Ban Guys. Young Prince/Tusken has speech?

That was too abbreviated. Now I'm confused. Do you mean, in a few years, the speakers are considered evil, and then a prince, or Tusken has a speech?

I'm starting to think that maybe we should just wing it. This organization thing is too weird for Roleplays

Haha okay. Here'e what I meant for the general idea.

IT's a few generations after Tusken, so his defendant is prince. His parents are dead and he has a few younger siblings. He's young and naive. Etc. He has a childhood friend. In comes the speaker girl who expects to become queen eventually, wanting speakers to rule (so in this case it could potentially be that speakers are the bad guys, at least her anyway.) And the Prince's childhood friend tries to stop her for reasons we all know...

Since we all know the basics, like Klymy we should wing it and improvise and make it FABO!

Character Page is open.

whos ruling the country? is the prince a kid or older?
so we are all going to be the prince's friends?
wouldn't the prince have a speech too if he was Tusken's desendant?

Tusken's descendent can or can not have a speech. It really doesn't matter. It'd be more exciting if he didn't. Can we make Tusken marry Enna and Finn's daughter?

you mean Enna and Finn's decendant?
ya, it probably would be

No, Tusken, since he isn't actually going to be apart of the RP. We can say her name was... *cackles* Dahlia.

oh, i thought you meant the prince for some reason.
oops. im soooo tired, im making sooo many stupid mistakes
seriously? She died. Finnric killed her. live with it.
lol

No. *sobs* no. no. no. Dahlia will live to haunt you forever!! JK. But I still think it would be funny to have her be, you know, Finn's distant ancestor, haha.

so she's immortal now? lol
it doesn't really work though. sorry.
dont worry, none of us will ever forget Dahlia's evilness

No... She's a different person. the same name, different girl. It'd be funny. One day, Finn looks through the records of his lineage. And there, right under Enna and Finn, is the name Dahlia. Hahaha

Uh...no. Dahlia should not be a name in this Rp....please.

Okay. Hannah, I just want to compliment you on the name of this topic. When I click on "Plotting the Plot" I feel my inner "Mwahaha" cackling. Hence why Dahlia came up. So..... What's the plan?

Oh thanks. I wanted something different then Plot or something. BORING. ( No offense people who have started Story Plot pages. :D)

I think I kinda resummarized it in post 35:

IT's a few generations after Tusken, so his defendant is prince. His parents are dead and he has a few younger siblings. He's young and naive. Etc. He has a childhood friend. In comes the speaker girl who expects to become queen eventually, wanting speakers to rule (so in this case it could potentially be that speakers are the bad guys, at least her anyway.) And the Prince's childhood friend tries to stop her for reasons we all know...

Does that still seem right?

yeah I think so

sounds good :)

Jah. Let's get RPing!!!! Whoo!!!

Coolio!
