I've come up with an idea, which I plan to turn into a book and/or graphic novel at some point, that I thought I should try out here first ( think The Dark Tower meets Sin City). The concept is that the land in which the action takes place is full of characters, locations and items named after songs, albums, musicians or bands. We need pretty much every type of character to populate the universe -- wizards, nonhumans and other fantasy types, gangsters, cops and other "normal" people, whatever you want as long as it's named after something musical. I want to know what people think of this idea before I make a thread to post characters, start the RP itself or do anything else to make this an official part of the site, so let me know your opinions.

yeah, sounds cool. i dunno about the music name part, some people might choose the same song, etc., but it would be a ton of fun!! great idea for a book and thread!!

Yeah, we'd have to limit it to a first-come, first-serve basis where the characters' names are concerned.

BTW, if anyone's stuck for ideas in the creation of their character, just let me know and I'll PM you the list of "canon" characters I'm using in the book... if one of them catches your eye, you can RP as them.

First you'll have to describe the setting to me

There's only one way to describe this setting: A wretched hive of scum and villainy. Yeah, it's that kind of city. There are only a handful of honest cops to be found, the Italian and Irish mobs are continuously fighting for control, and the rest of the population consists primarily of thieves, murderers, prostitutes and rapists of one sort or another.
Of course, the whole thing doesn't take place in the city itself... the adventure part is that the characters must journey (through Idaho, among other places) to another world, the twisted, nightmarish realm of The Crimson King. Along the way they will also deal with other, more human villains, including an Illuminatiesque secret society called The Union of the Snake, and will encounter an alien race called the Zutons (and the Men in Black who want to destroy them).

yah this sounds awesome I am for sure posting a character! I shall be a vampire or normal person I haven't decided yet. maybe it depends on if too many people are humans or to many people are other worldly creatures.

Both among my favorites too, Jess. And not just because Jewel Staite's in them (although that has a lot to do with it).
BTW, I will be starting this soon... I'd like to have a few more people interested in it, but I'll start it sometime this week regardless of who's in or out, and then when we need more people we can ask others to jump in.

Well, I started it... check the Original Themes board.
For those of you who haven't posted your characters yet... not that I'm trying to rush you or anything, but come on already. ;D
