User blog:An Emerald/The Emerald Isle Synopsis

Preface:
As a warning I have never actually been a GM (Game Master) before so I am probably gonna mess up important GM posts once in a while so bare with me! Also, this is going to be AU in the sense that it is out OCs, semblance and all, but obviously with minor tweaks here and there! And possible Cannon-Oc interaction (maybe. Probably gonna be just one little thing after it starts~) Anyway, lets kick things off with the plot summary

Prologue
An unmarked Airship is traveling over the ocean towards an unexplored desert island. Inside, the unwilling passengers begin to awaken and become shocked as to where they are. They are in some form of military-esc airship with seats lining the walls. It's dim and people can barely see each other. On the far wall is a large screen that has not turned on. Each one probably had some memory of being overpowered and knocked out, or suddenly falling asleep out of nowhere.

With everyone beginning to walk around and check themselves, they find that they are without their weapons, armors, or dust. Some probably begin to panic, while others attempt to use their Semblances to escape. All attempts fail as Aura levels are incredibly low and impossible to use. The screen cuts on with a bright light, it is white and in the center is the image of a green silhouette of a deer. A synthesized voice begins to chime in, the image slightly pulsing with his vocal patterns.

"Goodmorning my lovely little assistants! I'm sure you're all wondering what's happening but before we get to that, let's go ahead and introduce ourselves. Oh don't worry, I already know who each of you are, so I will introduce myself! Ahemm!"

He pauses briefly, then begins in a semi-professional tone.

"You all may call me... Mr. Green. It is a pleasure to have been able to find out so much about each and every one of you! Right now, you are all on my private Airship, the Cracked Antler, on your way to Paradise! The island that I own, which I simply call it, the Emerald Isle-"

A map of the island appears on the screen. It is only a topview of the island though. Refer to the image at the top of the page for the Map.

"This island is currently one of the only places in the whole of Remnant that has not a single of creature Grimm roaming freely on land or in the waters. It is here where you all are going to spend possibly the rest of your lives! A nice, tropical island! No worries, No Grimm, No problem! You don't even have to pay! Isn't that exciting?! You are all safe on this island... at least, from outside influence.Though there is just a teeny tiny catch to it."

He pauses again, to let the information sink into his victims. The green deer emblem becomes a dark red. His voice also changes to a much deeper voice. The emblem pulses with a dark red and black with every syllable.

"This island, this airship, all of you belong to me now. You will follow my directions, and you will never leave. Or else I will make your lives living hell. My power and resources outnumber anything any of you could ever possibly imagine. As far as anyone related to you knows, each of you has died in some way. Infact, some of you have been betrayed by said friends and family and put here. I am the one in control here, and never forget it."

The deer goes back to its original green color. As well as his voice regains its cheery, playfulness that it had once before.

"Now now, don't frett! As long as you do your best, you won't have anything to worry about! Ohh ohhhh, and don't worry! This isn't going to turn into some weird ass Hunger Games kinda thing! Hopefully! I got rid of all your weapons, dust, and armor for a reason! So none of you decide to hurt yourselves or eachother! Now there is but one goal to all of this~!"

He pauses again, and the image on the island appears yet again, with the deer icon in the corner still pulsing happily with each word.

" And that is to simply live together and complete some challenges here and there and get some prizes! Complete my challenges, explore the island, and make it your home! Think of this as more of a social experiment, than whatever you are currently thinking! If we understand each other, let's go ahead and let you all off! Brace yourselves for some impact! By the way, any attempt to leave the island will result in death! KAY BYE~"

The screen flashes white and a red arrow points downward. Suddenly the bottom of the airship opens up, and everyone falls out and into the ocean just off the shore. Most people are able to swim to the island, others need help, and some unlucky few are unable to reach the island and drown. Some think that this was a test and some form of screening. Weening out the weaker ones.

Synopsys
Alright alright alright! Things are gonna finally kick off! For the sake of this RP, treat it as an AU. There are no Weapons or Dust currently available to your characters! Pure strength and semblance! Though, it'll be a bit before your characters gain enough strength to use their semblances!

Events will be randomized, say a freak storm happens out of nowhere or maybe Mr. Green feels generous and gives the group a gift! Challenges from Mr Green will be put out sparsely, unless /something/ major happens, and the group will receive rewards and such. Also, whatever you wanna do, whether it be catch food or build shelters, I will be using a dice to determine the success of it!

As for how characters will work, it's realllly simple! Just link your character below with a short summary. Standard rules apply to this AU, you have to link an accepted character. Try and keep things tasteful, there will be conflict between people as not everyone is going to automatically be buddy buddy, you know!

One final note on any potential PVP: ALL fights will decide the winner before the RP starts. I personally feel that makes it far better than just simply going with the flow of a fight or arguing in Chat during the posting. I hope for this have fights flow more naturally and with an actual direction than what is normally done.

Fate Points?!
I decided that there needed to be something extra added on top of this RP. Fate Points are used to tip the scales, so the speak when rolling the odds. As long as you have the points, they can be used whenever there is a roll to decide something. Does not work on Random Events or Weather.

You gain points in only one way: By Role playing! Depending on the actions taken in the rp, sometimes I will award some fate points at random to select few individuals. If you really wish to stack the odds in your favor there is but one other way to gain FP: Small Group RPs.

These Rps can range from simply getting to know a small group of other people, duking it out and either in actual combat or sparring matches, or other uhh private Roleplays (tea). Each person in the RP gains one FP on completion of the RP. I have not determined how many posts the RP must be minimum, but know that if you have a bigger group then you'll want to go longer. All small group RPs are to be set either before or after the Major RP events. These smaller RPs should not have a major effect on the entire group as a whole.

Also, I might be very selective of who I choose to allow into this RP. Keep that in mind that not everyone is going to be accepted just because you commentedEmeraldStag (talk)

Any suggestions for how things should look or what should be said in this synopsys would be very appretiated! I have never GM'd anything, so I won't know everything so all the help I can get will be appretiated~
