Just a little (sub) plot idea!~

okay hello~
to whom, this may concern
(Which I believe is Jake, although everyone else is welcome to read this as well):

my name is laura (chishona) and i'm starting to frequent your role playing.
I, along with a few role players that also visit MythRP sat down one day and started discussing..
... a way to add a little, spice, to the role play.

I spoke of the idea to Jess, and she suggested to put it up here so that you can see it as well.
ANYWAYS.

what I suggest to you now is a little (sub) plot idea that can give a little more for characters to work with in terms of their own characters, histories, one x one story lines i don't know.

We were thinking of introducing a MYTHICAL BLACK MARKET in the Compound.
This Black Market would carry a vast assortment of items, as well as other mythical creatures themselves.
The idea of "Marketeers" came up: characters that made their wealth buying/selling OR hunting rare mythical creatures to place in the black market. Caught creatures would have their freedom taken away, and are at the mercy of their captors. They are more than welcome to try and escape their future of imprisonment, slavery, or what have you, but consequences can be very dangerous if they fail.

Creatures that are sold in the black market can be put to use as 'personal' slaves, pets, workers, or what have you if you've any other ideas, or those that buy them may choose to set them free. Those in that position are still eligible to be caught again by a Marketeer.

Now, this Black Market would most likely need a room to operate, and unfortunately I don't have the needed furni to make that happen. of course, black markets could get together for 'auctions/sales' in the forest at night, so if there is a lack of furni, I suppose the forest room could be an okay substitute?

ANYWAYS, i think that's it. if you have any questions, please feel free to add me on my habbo account: Chishona, and I would be more than willing, and more than happy to answer any questions you may have.

That'll be all.
(For now.)

- Laura c:

I love this idea. Due to Ibrams unique background I'd be well into scening it. I think it'd be interesting as hell, full support for this idea !

Also, I'd actually be happy to invest and make the blackmarket room.

I like the idea. It could potentially bring a little bit more of an air to danger to the storyline than there currently is.
A few notes to go along with this though (Since I'm sure the owners and us mods will need to sit down and discuss);

-The Marketeers should probably have sort of formal group set up under Covens/Clans.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
Though they aren't technically a traditional coven, it's still a group that might be better off formally organized on here. That's a suggestion, but I think you might find it helpful if you had a thread to keep the group organized

-I don't know if I'm 100 percent the idea of actual characters being sold in the black market. Obviously not all of us are good combat rp'ers, so if those people get captured it might not end well when someone is trying to preserve a storyline. Also, it seems a lot of characters in the roleplay are FOR the unification of all the species, so obviously these characters selling other mythicals would need some reason to be doing this.

-How would we go about having the room WITHIN the compound ICly? Wouldn't that just make it particularly easy for the Marketeers to get caught it if was within the compound? This is just something that popped into my head that might be a potential plot hole

@Stefan - I was sorta thinking that if a person decides to go out and hunt, they would ooc'ly have to discuss it with their rp partner before hand. Of course, people would have to follow the 'no randoming' rule, so I suppose this could fall under that?

As for the room thing, there could be a teleport that's extremely difficult to find ic'ly, or, as I suggested previously, role players just use the forest for unofficial gatherings.


also, to everyone that's posted so far:
you're totally AWESOME for your support.
xoxox

Because self incrimination is rarely never a good idea, I doubt there would be any written evidence. All you'd need would be a private moment in, for example, a store cupboard or something to do a deal, transition of goods to follow. I like the idea of a group, but I'd also like sub groups so we can have some infighting, because let's face it the criminal fraternity is not exactly all about backing each other up and cohessiveness. I do think a notable figure, probably the most deeply horrible character, who acts as a chair for the marketeers interests though. I'd nominate Dan, with his reaper char. That's so scary shit man.
