AwaitingtheRevolution Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Hey guys! so yeah, this is an RP that came to me while playing cards and the such with some friends, we ended up betting all the cash we had on ONE flip of a coin (i lost by the way), and so i came up with this...coin flips, like most gambling is totally chance...so why not spin off of this for a little idea? so okay, here's the plot...[spoiler=Overview]The basic plot is that a new form of gambling and betting has appeared in the human world, promising much higher stakes and sense of victory, even spinning off, after 2 or so years, to form an intense entertainment sport with the very lives of the contenders on the line. The game consists of betting on a single coin toss, after flipping the coin, some other-worldly energy transforms the gamblers into a sort of "Knight" derived from their hearts and "inner element", there are 5 total variations, the 5th not being revealed til later on.There are those who created the business and companies from this, they are the enemy to the people, playing of the games sadistic rules to control the masses and make money, the contenders are basically captured rebels, war prisoners and general sadists, fighting against the respective companies "champions". The 5 types of games are described here, for a type of game to be used, both gamblers must be in agreement over the type:[spoiler=Low Stakes] Used by children and those better off or not as bold, this requires putting up an object of sentimental value against the battle, winning entitles you to keep the item you wagered, as well as the opponent's item and "inner element" [spoiler=Blood Stakes] This is a slightly more gruesome type of game, involving not only the wager of a sentimental value, but of a limb and 10% of the gambler's remaining life, as well as the "inner element" of each. The winner gains the 10% of life span, the "inner element" and the limb, transformed into a sort of trophy for the winner [spoiler=Terror Stakes] This is an even more sadistic variation, involving the same conditions as "Blood Stakes", but also wagering the very mind of each gambler, the loser becomes little more than a walking shell, no mind to guide it, usually slipping into a coma, but sometimes wandering the "waking world" as a "sleeper", the winner gains whatever secrets were locked away inside the losers mind, their memories, knowledge the loser possessed and all preceding terms. After losing, sleepers become a problem for the "waking", attacking them in a bid to regain it's consciousness, however this is usually a failure, seeing as they cannot guide themselves, but occasionally, some of the "waking" end up being injured by the sleepers. [spoiler='S[color=#333333]anguinem[/color] Mors'] The worst variation of the game in existence, "Sanguinem Mors" or "Blood Death", is a particularly dangerous variation, requiring none of the preceding terms, but instead wagering your very life against the opponent, the winner gaining all preceding terms anyway, but also receiving dominion over the loser, not as a person, or a sleeper, more as a zombie. or, if the winner desires, the loser will die in a gruesome and horrific manner. this is mostly used by the contenders, the "champions" and the "The Council", those running the companies[spoiler=Sola Anima] "Sola Anima", or "Lonely Soul", is a solo method of playing, only brought to light after a succession of tournaments are won against "The Council", where various people will discover new, more importent "Tokens" (the coins basically), allowing them to transform without need for an opponent, the only terms are the soul of the Gambler, meaning they will be a mere shell if the lose the battle, a walking corpse Also in the world now are the 3 factions:"The Council and their Champions" - The owners of the companies and their respective 3 chosen champions"The Corazón de la Tierra Rebels" - Those who are brave enough to fight the Council and free their people"El Rechazado" - The Rejected, the losers who wouldn't lose, those who became sleepers and shells but just kept going, given the power to transform without need of any token, they haunt the Waking World, born of the Creator's nightmares Factions:[spoiler=The Council]Strengths: massive amount of money, gigantic fan base, government supportWeaknesses: hated, lonely, unresourcefulRestrictions: Council members have no individual tokens, champions have no special movesName - Username::------- - -------------Champions:------- - -------------------- - -------------------- - ------------- ------- - -------------Champions:------- - -------------------- - -------------------- - ------------- ------- - -------------Champions:------- - -------------------- - -------------------- - ------------- ------- - -------------Champions:------- - -------------------- - -------------------- - ------------- ------- - -------------Champions:------- - -------------------- - -------------------- - ------------- [spoiler='The [/font]Corazón de la Tierra Rebels']Strengths: resourceful, tactical, military supportweaknesses: little/no public support, little funds, all wanted as criminalsRestrictions: Leader - injury prevents prolonged battles;
