Anyone interested in starting an RP based on the tv show 'the Venture Brothers' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Venture_Bros) ? You can pick a charactor, or group (aka, the Monarch and his henchmen), and have them based out of your nation. Feel free to create your own characters. Creativity is encouraged!
Questions/comments/sugestions welcome.


Cast:
-----
Venture-Industries as the Venture family (Dean, Hank, Brock, Dr. Venture, J.J., and H.E.L.P.eR.)

Kulikovia as 'the Red Shadow', leader of Farmer's Insurance

bumped

Just a question: Do you have a plot figured out or are you going to make it up as you go along?

This could be very warped. If you can get some players it could be good

I've only seen a few episodes of the show... I'm assuming this is for people with a good sense of humor and who know at least a decent amount about the show itself. Correct?

Lynoin - no plot yet. wanted to get some interest first

Tarlag - that's the idea!

Greywatch - Mostly, but you'd still be welcome to join in if you want. I do suggest reading the wiki artical (link above) first, to get an idea of the charactors.

All - oh, and I'm going to use this as full IC RP for my nation. feel free to use this RP just for fun if you want. That's kool with me.

Hells fuckin' yeah I'm interested. The show is hilarious.

Please list what characters/group you wish to RP as. List above will be updated.

"They hit me with a truck...."
-Brock Sampson, moments before running down dozens of henchmen with his '69 HEMI charger

Can I create my own villain?

sure, go ahead! Oh, and please list who your arch-enemy is and if you are a member of the 'Guild of Calamitous Intent' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild_of_Calamitous_Intent). Oh, and a pic and back story would be nice, but not required...

Codename: Red Shadow
Real Name: Dale Peterson
Arch Enemy: Unknown (as of now)
Age: 36
Height: 5'10''
Weight: 184lbs
Hair: Black, slight graying
Eyes: Hazel
Brief Bio: He grew up in Sandusky, Ohio to Frank and Lisa Peterson. Dale Peterson worked as a senior claims adjuster for the Guild of Calamitous Intent whenever there was damage to Guild property in the result of arching by their members. He lived a monotenous life, almost invisible to the other members. One day, after being passed up for a raise, Dale vowed revenge and would stop at nothing to tear the Guild to the ground...he was promptly fired. He embezzled a large amount of money before he was fired and disappeared back to Sandusky, Ohio where he began his life of villainy. Years later he reemerged as Red Shadow, the scourge of do-gooders everywhere. The public face of his evil empire is Farmer's Insurance. His wife Renee is completely oblivious to his operations and is a school teacher. His two children, Jonas and Natalie suspect that something isn't right but are too busy being angst-filled teens to care.

He is currently trying to create his own group, the Syndicate of Sinistry. They currently meet at the local V.F.W. until their lair recieves a building permit from the zoning board.

nice! updated list above. i might start the IC thread later...

What's the plot going to be?

not sure yet. Just thought i'd start with an intro, and see what happens. any sugestions?

Alright, follwing the defeat of the Phantom Limb by David Bowie, there be a major power vaccum in the Guild. Several other supervillains attempt to make their moves to become prominent members of the Guild.

The Order of the Triad could attempt to exploit this and take down several of these villains once and for all, in an attempt to keep the balance. Of course, someone out there could be trying to destroy the Guild and upset the balance, threatening to plunge the world in...evil!

That's my only idea. But, it's your show

I like it! And, like always, the Ventures get stuck in the middle. Sounds good to me. All we need is someone to RP as the Order of the Triad, or a similar group.

We need a few more rpers as well.

yep. got any interested friends?

I dunno

Maybe you need to lay down the rules, what exactly people can do in this rp, and avaliable characters. It also wouldn't hurt to say in your opening post for this thread that they can make their own character. This has alot of potential and can really work if you can sell it well enough.

Good idea. I'll make that change to the first post. Oh, and IC thread will be up in a minute.

I want to be Brock. Or Dr. Venture if he is unavalable. The robot is my third choice.

Ahhh how funny, some one actually did it. ROFL

Belkaros - sorry, but those are taken. see 1st post.

Maybe you shouldn't be the ENTIRE Venture Family.
