(( Me too - I'll post the entire thing in my journal. Very addictive, that tune... Thanks for the Narnia maps, BTW.))
Here's what I understand : You want more subplots. No Canon characters (C.S's originals are off limits). The kidnapping is a basis. If you want a second character, make an alias for each character.
I just suggested Lucy - we can have anybody, even an OC Lord or plot conductive character kidnapped. Then we could play from the kidnapped, kidnappers, resucers, royals/abductee's family. Say that Lucy [/placeholder] got kidnapped by one nasty brother of a ruling family in ... say Carlomen [/placeholder!] So you could have famillial politics there. We also need to figure out why s/he was kidnapped in the first place. Another country or even the giants could be attacking or threatening Narnia, so while the royals deal with that [w/ RPers in their army? more options for play...] some other ppl go off to rescue said abductee. Of course there's politics in the recuse party, like say one doesn't want to go, or is a turn coat and lead them into a trap, or what not..... So there's plenty of options for play. I just threw out the first thing that popped into my head. If you want more plots, give me a few days.
I can get some of the Narnia rundown you want - Carlomen is my speciality. If some ones else can do Archenland, Narnia and Giantville, we'll have this done in no time.
Since I'm going nuts already, I volunteer to be part of the planning board. mistresswolf should be on it, since this is her idea...

I'm not entirely against canon characters, Commander, I just want anyone who plays them to be able to play them accurately, that's all.
You and mistresswolf are now officially moderators of the Narnia board. Once I make it. Heh. And Alistar. Congradulations. (snickers) Don't worry, it's not that hard to be a moderator, you just have to make sure everyone obeys the rules and stuff for your board and post in it regularly.

Well, I feel I can rp as Edmund when he's, like say, 20? By the way he looked in the movie he was 25 when he left at the end. I would like to know if there are any objections though.

Wow. Great plans, guys. Definitely excited for this.
I can work on writing descriptions of races and factions if you'd like, Tiana. I read all of the books over the last month or so, so it's all pretty fresh in my mind. I'm not so good with the locations, and such, bar Lantern waste and Aslan's How and Cair Paravel and the basic stuff... but that's all not that awful hard when you have a reference.
So, if you're wanting it to take place somewhere between TLtWatW and Prince Caspian, it'd be around the time when the Calormen attack on Narnia would be happening.... when they were taking over, and such.... maybe it could revolve around that?
And thirdly, I must say that I object to sithhunter playing Peter, if it comes to that... No offense, or anything, mate. It's simply that, from your posting style and the way your characters tend to go, I don't think you're the right person to play Peter's character.... he's a little too.... noble, I suppose, if that makes any sense at all.

I'm a mod, w00t. I didn't mean any offense Tiana, I completely understand! There's no way I could play a canon without doing poorly. Unless it was EU Star Wars or LoTR.
I'm working on the Carlomen synopsis - I'll have it up by the end of the week.
Sorry sithhunter. Maybe we can make you a Lord... Still noble and cool, and you'd have "free-range" posting - you wouldn't be stuck doing word for word stuff. And if someone has to play Peter, I know the perfect person. I'll hit him up, if you want.
I like Somniphobic's idea with the time. I'm good with that. Can't see any other problems... Can't devise more plots until we have a basic time range to work in, so this is good.

WOOT! I'm a mod!
I agree on making up places. And we have to consider the fact that there are A LOT of species in Narnia. Each sprite belongs to different places: trees, water, wind, ect. And there are centaurs, knomes, dwarfs, elves, and even wizards to consider into the whole thing. I also could start writing some facts about each species and then aprove it with Dearest Unknown and gang. We could all compile different things about each species and do it that way too.
I could do a lot on the "good" species, but I'm not all that good with evil creatures. Vampires, Were-animals, and ect. will need to be thought up by someone else.
And I think that we should think about corperating Caspian's father into all of this eventually. Depends on where we want to start. Do we want to end up at the tail of TLtWtW where some of us are aquainted with the royals, or are we in the middle of Miraz trying to murder Caspians father?
Uhm....since I'm a moderator....If anyone wishes to start on defining species, please contact me or Doom Reincarnate in a PM so its not so confusing.
Kano, please PM me here so that we can talk about all of this.

Whee... okay.
MODERATORS: Myself, Jandalf, mistresswolf, Alistair, Commander, sithhunter (tenative, PM me and I'll give you RP Moderator 101), Duncariel.
FOR SPECIES/LOCATION/ETC DEFINEMENT:
PM either mistresswolf or Commander, who are officially in charge. Duncariel and MW should be doing most of the lightside races, and I will do evil races if no one else can, because I don't think there's that much definition there and I think this time I'm being evil.
I object to anyone claiming canon characters at the moment.
To claim a canon character, you're going to need one heck of a long character sheet and a sample post to prove that you can play this character correctly. I don't think, Sithhunter, that you'd be able to, simply because you tend to keep your posts fairly short and sweet, which are good for some OCs, but not for all-important canons. You seem to prefer characters who can get into the action rather than political anyway... I don't think most of us could handle Peter. (shrugs) Cluge, same thing. If you're looking for action rather than politics, a canon character is not the way to go. Both of you would have to write the long sheet and a sample post and prove you knew those two characters as well as yourself.
To be honest, making OCs is more fun. A lot more freedom. And if you just wanted to be royal, it'd be easier to make a Lord character, or something, and have the freedom to not be limited by a canon's personality.
I suggest that this is at least ten years after TLtWatW. That way the kids are well established on the throne. And the later we go, the more freedom we have with the canon. And I agree on Captian's father being mixed in. My next reading assignment will be to reread the books remarking on that time period.

Ok, we're starting good.
I'll get an outline of Carlommen's history, ppl and culture up. I can also do some bad species - I'm familliar with alot. Anyone wanting to do a country outline, PM me about it. Ditto to what MW said - any ideas for time, etc. either post it here or PM either of us.
I agree with Tiana - there are very VERY few people who can do canon ppl in RP. I have a hard time doing them in FFs, even tho I really know the characters! I really would suggest that the two of you do OCs. You'll get more action and more freedom. What kings really do is sit around all day worrying about politics and what they should say to not offend anybody. Not much action there.
For the time, BTW TLTWATW and PC is good - no need to establish the Canon 4's rule, we have more range, but also a time line goal to work towards. We'll be able to 'fill in the blanks' with some of CS's plot gaps. I like it.

[glow=purple,2,300]Okay...well. I think that canons need to be banned completely for fairness.
As far as species sheets go...[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,300]Me: elves, wizards & wizardesses, and possibly knomes Somniphobic: centaurs, dwarves, dryiads, nymphs[/glow]
[glow=purple,2,300]I am trying to get all of them together, but I need to know specifically what these species sheets should have in them.
I think that Dearest Unknown should check the timeline for Miraz and Caspian's father. I think that in "Prince Caspian" It was at least 100 years that had passed between TLtWatW. This means we'd have to be in Narnia around 70-80 years after TLtWatW. AHHHH!!! The stress!!!!! ............mind is melting!!!........[/glow]

Working on it.... I have a ways to go with figuring them all out. Lewis was a bit.... flighty. «coughspeakingofthemanwhoaccidentallyburnedoneoftolkien'smanuscriptsinhisfireplacebecausehewasoutofwoodoncecough» So, yeah. 'Tmight be a good idea to start on dryads... just your basic wood spirit. Attatched to the tree, that sort of thing.
I love your avatar, Commander. Cloud r0x0rs!!!

*has briefly scanned thread* Wow... you've got some good stuff here, guys! I, for one, would love to RP Narnia. I haven't got a lot of time, but I would love to take on a smaller character. Or whatever. I might get really in to this... I don't know if someone has posted this already, but here is a map. Someone asked for one... *shrugs*

So... what time is it gonna be? Because, I think it'd be neat to do it around the time of Prince Caspian.

There's a mod PM going on about that, Ali.
Dun (aka Somniphobic), mistresswolf, Tiana and I are working on the species lists. It will take a long bit, and when Tiana gets the Narnia RP board up, we'll post em there for you to browse.
Ditto for the Character sheets - they'll be up after the board is.
((Glad you like the avvie- found it on the list, plugged in words. Result - funny...))
If anyone would like to do a species sheet (we need bad species) or rundown of a land, ie Archenland, PM commander or mistresswolf ASAP. We really need the help!

[glow=blue,2,300]Rhiannon, all you need to do is figure out where you would like to be attached: tree, water, ect. And then find out what kind of tree, body of water, you want to be attached to. Example: wood, roman tree.
Thanks Mekka, I dont know if we need one now. Dearest Unknown knows what we need and dont need officially.
Commander's brother came up with a great idea of our RPG explaining why Cair Parevel was abandoned and no one believed in Aslan in "Prince Caspian" I think its an awesome idea....
Doom Reincarnate (Commander), is right. We need all the help we can get. No one as spoken or even mentioned countries and territories. WE NEED HELP!!![/glow]

All right, all right, enough with this thread. I'm making a board. I will do some countries if needed. (shrugs) I'm just trying to pass off work because I did nearly everything for the SW RPs... heh... and that's hard on the brain.
1) I have a character sheet layout. It will not be thrown away. I insist on using it, in fact, because if we don't, people skip things. Heh. Picky mod here. I'll edit it for Narnia, no problem at all.
2) I want races explained somewhat. Basic strengths, weaknesses, appearance if there's anything there... ei: goblins are going to look like deformed elves. So on.
The maps aren't essential, but... yes... okay. (hyperventilates) Trust me. I've done this before...

LOL don't worry Tiana. We're adaptable. You won't have to do everything for this RP, just advise. We just need more help. *to everyone*
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE THIS GET GOING, BE A PART OF THE PLANNING!! WE NEED YOUR HELP....YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE.... er, sorta. It'll get setup faster the more ppl pitch in.
