Not just a high school roleplay--but a romance high school roleplay.
God have mercy on our souls.
In all seriousness, I acknowledge that RPs of this kind are looked down on as lacking substance, purpose, plot, and they often attract...suffice to say, less than prodigal roleplayers who generate less than complex, deep, interesting characters. BUT--this isn't a place to trash on that kind of RP. Because let's face it, sometimes you don't want to get into a roleplay whose storyline summary alone would take up every page of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and whose plot is so well thought out that everything is planned right up to the finish. Sometimes, you just want a roleplay that's...well, put plainly, fun. Where storyline depth and plot originality takes a backseat to just having a good time with interesting characters; where you could care less if the premise is absolute, original, self-created genius which the likes of JRR Tolkien and HP Lovecraft would live in envy of--or if it's something that's been done a billion times over before, albeit...not as well, or with less than preferable RPers and characters. Sometimes you just want a roleplay where you can have a bit of light-hearted amusement and fun.
Well, here is my idea.
It takes place in a high school (and I warned you of that right from the start, so if you're still reading, you're obviously okay with the fact). Four guys have been given the ultimate dare by their friends--if they don't do it, they're gonna be shunned, vilified, laughed at, mocked, jeered, for the rest of their high school years. And as anyone who's ever been a high school student knows, spending those years being the laughingstock of the school might as well be eternity in hell. So they take up the dare. They might be total jerks who find the dare amusing, they might be nice guys being forced into it by upperclassmen who know they can make life living hell for said nice guy, they might be the shy type being pressured into it by their friends--whatever the cause, they're in on it.
What's the dare?
Well, each of these four guys has got to get a girl to fall for them.
Not too hard, you might think. They're charming lads, maybe, couldn't be that hard for them to get a girl to--
Ah yes, I may have left out a vital rule to this little game.
They can't pursue just any girl, no. Now what would the fun in that be? They?ve been tasked with snagging the hearts of the four girls who are, frankly, the most difficult in the entire school. They could range from the snappy, queen-bee type bitch of the school, or the profanity-ridden, violent delinquent of a loner, or maybe the perpetually silent gamer geek no one can seem to get a word out of. Whatever they are, these four girls, for their respective reasons, seem utterly impossible to charm?hell, some of ?em might not seem like they have a heart to win over at all. But that?s the challenge these four unlucky young men face. They?ve got to get one of those four girls to fall for them?what happens afterwards is of no concern. Obviously the feelings of the girls themselves are hardly of concern to the guys setting the dare. The dare?s the game, the four girls are the objective?and the reward? Well, that could play out just about any which way...
That?s my little plot. If it doesn?t seem utterly repulsive to you?in fact, if, though I am loathe to presume, it even appeals to you?then maybe we can take this RP somewhere. I honestly believe that with good RPers and compelling characters, a plot that may seem as generic and clich? as this can come out as truly entertaining and fun to write for. However, it is essential that I emphasise good RPers. I?m sorry, but I?ve seen way too many of this RPs filled with people who write one line of such broken, execrable English I all but lose hope for humanity. So if you?re one of those people, please don?t sign up for this RP. I don?t like having to reject people because of the quality of their writing?it makes me feel like an ass?and I?m sure you don?t like being rejected. Y?know. For any reason. But especially for that one.
In terms of the characters themselves, for the most part, it?s open season. If you?re interested in creating a dude, he can be a total jerkass who looks forward to winning the girl?s heart and then breaking it, or he can be the shy type who?d rather die than actually talk to a girl, much less try to get one to fall in love with him. As far as the girls themselves, it?s more or less the same, as long as they?re...well, not all that easy to get along with. You could have a snippy, bitchy sort who treats everyone like trash, or a meek, nerdy sort of girl who fears being bullied for who she is and therefore never speaks up for fear of drawing attention to herself. The only rule here is that they develop over the storyline through their interactions with their ?significant other??for better or for worse. Maybe that total jerkass, in his efforts to get the girl to fall for him, realises that he?s gone and fallen heads over heels for her, and maybe that meek, nerdy girl starts to come out of her shell because she realises she?s found someone who cares about her for who she is?or maybe she becomes even more withdrawn and afraid when the guy she thought cared about her completely dumps her because it was nothing more than a dare to him. Only time will tell. I can say with certainty I?m probably gonna go for a girl who?s kind of a rough-around-the-edges delinquent, so that?s one girl spot gone, but the others are wide open.
So...anyone interested? :P
