This is an idea that i've been holding for a long time. Basically it's the execution of my OC by the name of Karl. Now, i know what your thinking and no, there's more to it. Yasee, it's name is "Karls Legacy" which means that he's left a legacy after'im. Now, if you're thinking that hey, Celestia doesn't deal with execution and stuff, then remember this, and you might think it's overkill but that's how he is: He's killled over 50+ ponies in Canterlot, almost murdered Celestia, had an affair with Luna, then wen't to Ponyville and killed 10 more ponies there, wen't to the Griffin Kingdom and took out half it's army, got sent to the desert to die, survived and wen't to Appleloosa, proceeded to make it a ghost town leaving only Braeburn alive to witness the horrors, wen't back ro Canterlot and killed 20 more ponies there, then finally left Canterlot when security got too tight, began cooling down when he met Snow and Tyro and the others, heard Prominence, wen't berzerk ad killed 20 guards who tried to stop, then was finally stopped by Pain who calmed him down a bit, then he wen't to Canterlot jail and this is basically from there. After he's executed we'll do a time jump about 10-15 years, Karls Door as it's now called has become a legend and meny ponies and other creatures have gone into the Everfree with the intents of finding the door, but come back with nothing. One of the RPers is gonna get visited by Karl in his dreams and Karl's gonna choose that one and guide him to the door, along with the friends he's brought with him. They find the door, unlock it and step inside, only to find out that it's a long hallway filled with traps leading up to the main room. They navigate through the traps, maybe some ponies get hurt or killed, but the reach the main chamber and tadaa, they've completed the RP! Freakin' fantastic! Now they go back to their families and share the wealth and treasures and items and other things they've might have found in the room, not knowing that they've been watched all along... But ye, das basically what i've got. So it's a small idea and i wonder if anyone else but the one i've spoken with will be interested in the idea.
No offense or anything, but Karl is a totally god-modded character. He wiped out all of Appleloosa? Had an affair with Luna? He nearly killed Celestia!? This sounds more like fanfic material than RP work.
I get what you're saying, he's a character of impossible feats. But thats why i planned this RP in the first place. This IS gonna be the end of Karl. After this, he's gone. Forever. So yeah. Sign-up in the Rp if ya wan't, or don't. Your choice.
Dark, note what i said in the interest check. He IS a pony of impossible feats, but he's not gonna interact physically in this RP. Plus, he's gonna be dead for real. As in, i will never use 'im for an RP again. Don't ask me why.
Can I jump in? From what I've read, Karl hasn't been written as Over-Powered apart from the destruction of an entire town. I think the larger concern is that Karl has never looked more like a Mary Sue character than ever before. There's affairs with royalty that have no logic to them, constant horrors and piles of murder. I get that he's been created to destroy but it's also never explored as a concept. What if Karl rebelled? Is his curse a point of tragedy or does it give direction to his life? This seems like a boast currently which is why it's put off everyone here. Personally, an RP about The Clockmaker looking to expand his collection of servants with the intention of making far more efficient agents of death to replace Karl with sounds more appealing. Karl rebels when Clocky attempts to have Karl gotten rid off. When Karl fights back, Clocky regretfully concludes that Free Will was a silly thing for Karl and any pony he tinkers with to keep. Therefore, he agrees to remove such indepenance. How about that? It seems a little more involving. The central story is creator against created. As a result, we learn about Karl, The Clockmaker and their relationship. Meanwhile, other characters caught up in this as Clocky's idea of the latest model band together to either flee or stand and fight. What do you think?
I read the whole explanation and i love you Tyro. No homo tho. Lets start the frikkin' RP! Also, i might use Karl for a few RPs, but not many. But, The 43rd Clockmaker is dead. The new one is Karl. He's The 44th Clockmaker. But i think i can... hmmm...
Glad you like it. You could have Clocky choose to take the upgrades back, taking away Karl's inherritence. So, Karl would he fighting to gain a legacy. Also, do you need any help with GMing?
I could use some help, but i think having Karl killed completely is still a good idea. I'll be playing as Clocky, choosing who will be the new servant. You'll see why Karl wen't insane as it was a major influence created by Clocky. He does some evil stuff to get what he want.
Good. Wouldn't it make more sense for Clocky to seek more that one new servant. If he is going to remove their free will, why not look to make the job of making destruction nice and easy by throwing lots of help at it? It'll also include lots of players far, far more quickly.
