Hmm...first and foremost, we should decide on the setting. That's gonna have some influence on everything else. I don't want a generic fantasy, modern, or sci-fi setting, so we're gonna have to make something unique... |

Hmmm...setting.. that's a tricky one. What kind of world are you shooting for? |

Ooh! How about...we make a modern setting, except magic and the supernatural exist, but (almost) nobody knows it! All traces are at the bottom of the sea, buried deep underground, hidden in ancient ruins, etc. |

Alright, so it would be modern day, but magic exists, it's just hidden. You'd need to make a plot after that, such as, a regular human finds it's existence, or the government finds it, or someone from it's time comes to life, etc. You need a good, strong plot to get it going. |

It would also be cool if there were different types and sub-types of magic (i.e. natural magic -> fire / wind / earth / water) |

I myself have never been into that different element thing, because from my experiences, it's usually caused conflict, like who's is more powerful, or 'Water always beats Fire! I win!' But that's just my opinion, this is Shin's RP. It's his choice. |

Actually, if the fire's hot enough, then the water will evaporate and the fire will win. |

But that logic is screwed up if things are kept relatively realistic and logical, fire could beat water easily. |

I was just using it as an example. |

Well, yeah, but AoG is right. No element has any advantage over any other element, not really. |

See? It's already turning into a small argument just because I said one thing about an element. |

Ah...basic plot? Lemme think...evil/insane genius discovers such a thing, and creates some sort of mutagenic, debilitating virus, as well as a vaccine, and holds entire countries for ransom? |

Hey, that's my grand plan! I mean...um...great plot idea! |

That's a great plot idea. Now, you'd need to think up what characters the RPers would be, and what their mission would be. For that plot, I'd imagine the characters would either be working for the genius, or trying to take him down. |
