The scene opens up to a glorious chamber filled with chandeliers and silky red curtains. Each chandelier drips the dim lights of candles by the dozens over the room fighting side by side with the sunlight to keep any and all darkness at bay. We hear a few clinking sounds off to the side but it's not readily apparent at this time what we may be listening in on. The camera drops down a few feet and we now see a heavy set man draped in gold sitting on a throne. In front of him a table, with a chess board arranged ready for play. Everything about this man screams wealth. Even the chess set looks to have pieces carved of ivory. If not already obvious enough, the crown on his head tells us this man is the king. Dripping from the crown his his all white hair turning perfectly at his jaw line creating a perfect frame for his face.Beside him is a woman feeding him grapes from the vine. He lets out a hearty laugh and smacks her backside before calling for some wine. As she pours someone seemingly out of place walks passed. A man I blue jeans with a white pointed hoody hiding his face. He tried going by unnoticed until the king calls out to him.
“Ah you must be the entertainment. Come. Sit boy. Your king requires intellectual stimulation. Off now woman.”
The king dismisses the slave girl with yet another smack and watches her as she walks away. The King pools the chess table close to himself and looks towards the poorly dressed peasant.
“I'll have your ass in that seat or your head on a pike. You choose.”
Obviously...the man chooses to sit in the chair across from the kings throne.
“Ha Ha Ha don't look so serious lad. It's a game. Have you ever played before?”
We have to take the kings word on the mans facial expression since we can't see it over the hood. We can however see him give a slight reassuring nod.
“Very well then.”
We hear the king begin moving a piece on the chess board that is just slightly out of view at this time. Luckily we have the view of the glorious chamber to keep us company. As he rests his piece on the board the sun shines brighter. The man with his hoody reaches out and makes his move. This time a chilling wind blows and with it a few candles die out.
“Are you sure you've played before.”
The king makes his move. Again oddly enough some sun begins to shine brighter through those luxurious red curtains once more. The strangers turn. He makes a move. This time it seems as though there are casualties. We here a piece fall from the board. This time a chandelier drops straight from the ceiling. Voices are heard rallying off towards the entrance of the room.
“The beasts are breaking through. Grab the king it isn't safe here.”
Could these be guards we hear? A man with a log spear runs towards the king and grabs him by the arm. The king looks towards his opponent and begins to yell. His face turning red. Spit flying from his lips and landing where they may.
“Just who are you. Who sent you?!”
The man removes his hood and subsequently reveals himself to us. He chuckles seemingly to himself as he never looks up from the board. He speaks back to the king.
“Make your move king. Make it fast and make it well.”
The guard points the spear to the peasants neck causing him to look up and make eye contact. Still a smile exists even in these uncertain circumstances. The guard inches closely and mocks the man.
“Make your next words count. They may be your last. Who sent you hear to DreamCatcher Castle.”
“LEAVE THE BOY. I can handle this on my own.”
The king roared at the guard causing him to drop his spear and head back to the doors where we hear many men in panic. The king make his move and laughs. He feels confident and sure of his abilities. Hes ruled this kingdom for years surely he can win a game of chess. The sun becomes almost blinding. The man facing his king no longer smiles. His smirk bends and his upper lip stiffens. Without a moments hesitation he makes his move. This time every candle in the room blows out. The room begins to shake slightly and we hear men screaming in pain in the distance. The sun seems to set almost as quickly as it had risen for now a shadow casts over the halls. The strange man speaks up.
“You will die here today my King.”
“SILENCE”
The king makes his move. Surely at this point not many pieces are left on the board. The king looks around him. He's expecting something. He seems to be looking for the warmth of the light the follows his moves. This time...there is nothing. Realizing this, the king seems to tremble. Perhaps fear. Perhaps anger. What ever it is the emotion runs high. Mean while his opponent smirks once more. He seems happy only when those around him are scared and unsure. He feeds off of this and makes his move. We hear one of the kinds pieces hit the floor and immediately following it, a loud thud echoes through the castle.
"THEY'VE BREACHED. THEY'VE BREACHED. AHHH”
The guards yell at the top of their lungs.It seems like we are hearing flesh ripped from bones at this time. Blood curdling screams accompany the kings heavy breathing. Dozens of guards come running from behind him to stop whatever is at the door. Just then..we see it. Shadowy beasts with long claws and piercing eyes pounds forward onto the kings guards. The guards swing their swords but it's no use. They are out numbered and out muscled. These beasts rip through their breast plates and almost make a point to chew into the mens hearts. Oddly enough through it all the beasts pay no attention to the stranger or the king. The king himself remains with a stern look and just barely looks off at the beasts before staring back at the boards. Surely in this time both men have made several more pieces. Not much more can remain.
“Do you still want to know who I am. It's a curious story really. You see growing up I always imagined myself where you sit. King of the world. Sadly I had not the resource nor the lineage to get me there. I had only my dreams. My imagination to keep me company. I imagined myself covered in gold and sapphire such as yourself. However when I woke up from my dreams I always found myself covered not in gold, but in bruises. Scratches scrapes and sickly skin tones were all I had. I adopted well tho wouldn't you say? My demons as a boy. I conquered them. I trained them. I brought them hear with me today. My demons will have your crown sweet king for I am
The One"
He avoids speaking his own name. Why at this time is still unclear. The camera zooms out and we see now that the beasts have destroyed every man in the room except for the two engaged in the game. They sit I uniform idly by watching the match unfold. These beasts that ran rampant moments ago with drool falling from their fangs now sit patiently waiting. All eyes on the king. He make his move...
For the first time in a while we are graced with a shot of the board game. All but a few pieces remain. The kings bishop is closing in on the strangers rook. It seems as though after all the king could win this. He has positioned himself exactly where he wanted to be. The bishop destroys the rook. A few candles reignite on the chandelier that had fallen to the floor. The carpet ignites and the room is engulfed I flamed. The man begins instantly maddened. He stands from his chair kicking it behind him. The beasts growl to sing along with the cackling flames. The man walks to the king and smacks the crown from his head. Pure terror reside in the kings eyes. The man begins to strangle the king with his bare hands. The beasts use their teeth to sink into the kings wrists so that he may not resits. Blood flows along with his tears.
“DO YOU STILL WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM. I am destroyer of worlds and the tyrant of terror. I am the loathed lord of the land and I am the horror of the high seas. Slip away sweet king until I am...
The Only. "
A few more forceful pushes of the mans thumb and the king has now slipped away. The castle is burning as his eyes roll to the back of his head. The murderer walks back over to the board game. He picks up the defeated rook and he stares it over.
“Is this what is thought of me. A mear rook. This is the metaphor you think I bring?”
We see the game board and off hiding in the shadows is the king. No not the man we just witnessed crying for his life but the board game piece....the king. The man moves it and positions it to over take the bishop. With the bishop gone the castle too fades. All that is left is darkness and that sparkling golden crown. If you had blinked you would of missed it. Everything. Goe.The room pitch black with the strange man standing just a few feet from the crown has a dead silence. We are left to wonder how the crown shines so brightly with no light to reflect off of it. The man inches towards the crown, reaches down and takes it in his hand.
“Do you still want to know who I am? If you come here thinking you are going to see the rook then you've tuned into the wrong channel."
The man puts on the crown. It turns a dark black. It begins to fall to pieces of ash seemingly forming a new apparel. Then all at once we see it. The crown has shed its glory and rests now as an all black cowboy hat. The brim casts a perfect shadow over our villians eyes.
“I have numerous names, many monikers and infinite identities but through it all there has always been one constant. One ever lasting fact that I am the best. I truly am the greatest I am...The Roy. "
The dark background sinks downward until it is ripped from frame. The Roy stands now in front of a bright green screen used for special effects in movies. Boardering it is a dusty brick wall. We have cashed in our kings thrown and our red drapes for broken windows and a lawn chair.
“Joe Bishop my demons have found their way through the web of the dream catcher and the world you find yourself in this week is no longer your dream. You know reside in my nightmares."
The Roy sits down on the lawn chair humming to himself not looking in our direction. He twists his neck around a few times and speaks to us once more.
"I realized at a young age that if I wanted to have nice things. If I wanted to mean anything in this world I would have to pretend. I would have to forge these memories on my own. So I did. Through writing or through a few special effects on my home computer I became many of things. President of the World. King of the realm."
The room warps once more back to the chamber. Everything back in tact. The Roy sits atop the throne with that beauty and her....grapes restored back to their original state. She fans The Roy giggling at his charm. Everything as it once was, except for the king. Roy now reigns.
“Why would anyone choose real life when they can have all of this? Have you ever told a lie so well and dedicated to it so hard that you yourself eventually began to believe that lie. That's how I feel about my art on this green screen. If I watch the footage enough then the cinema and my memories become blurred. My reality becomes that I have lived those moments. Yet in all my experience I find there is one thing my dreams cannot make me, and that...is a champion. Sure I've tried to recreate that feeling of satisfaction and acceptance on my own but surely you know Joe Bishop there is no substitute for the real thing. You....you can make me champion. You have all that I want Joe Bishop and I'm coming for it. I'm bringing my army of demons to your door and we do not knock. We do not ring the bell. We seek and we destroy and we feed until we cannot feed no more and I assure you Joe Bishop it has been centuries since we feasted last. At this show in front of the world I will beat you so badly, I will leave you beyond recognition and I will wipe you from existence NOT because you are no good. NOT because I underestimate you but only because I know...that I am all that will remain when it is all said and done because there is no man alive willing to do the things I am willing to do. I don't know you Joe so I don't have a lot to say other than good luck. You once said you've made a catalogue of mistakes. The biggest one you will all make is assuming I am the rookie. You have spent so much time talking about Solomon Crow. Talking about Trace Demon. Talking about everyone and everything and you mention me only as some sort of after thought. That's what you think of me? Reality to the individual is perception. Your entire perception...is about to change.
To these words the camera fades to black...yet we still hear that voice speaking from the darkness.
"You may mock and ridicule my name but give me just this one match and you will never forget it. I will be all that remains in the end. The Roy."

I wasn't sure about this when I began reading, but about halfway through I started smiling. The ing Roy is back. Sure, you still have some rust, but as I told you before... that'll fade. You're capable of much, much more than this. I've seen you do more many a time in SNME. I hope you remain active here, because you're one of the best role-players I've had the pleasure of following for a few years and I want you to show these ers how good you can be. Good luck.

I've read this a handful of times now, and it's still just as bizarre as the first run through. I'm sure there's some well intended symbolism that I'm just not picking up on, and from your profile I get that you're accomplished, at least elsewhere, but after several read throughs, I feel none the wiser to who your character is, what his motivations are, or what he's doing here.
That's not to say it isn't well written, or well formatted, or well structured - it hits all those marks. It just doesn't tell me a damn thing.

Yeah as SmashYourEnemies said I just didn't understand. I hope it's symbolism? But even if it was, an explanation/monologue revealing it should have been a necessity in this RP. I know nothing of "The Roy." Your setting doesn't bother me too much, but be sure to stay grounded, fantasy stuff usually doesn't work well. My biggest issue, is how "The Roy" doesn't sound like he has anything to do with wrestling, despite what he says. There is really no mention about the WFWF, or even your thoughts on being signed and getting your "big break." More information on the setting would be nice, I mean what country still has a pure monarchy? I'm not saying to abolish this whole kingdom stuff, but if you could make it more "realistic" then you should be good to go. Next Role-Play I really want to see you focus on your character itself and his daily life. And another mention, don't speak about the camera. There is no camera, unless one of your characters are interacting with one. It's the daily-life rather than a video promo to the WFWF. Good luck.
And is your character inspired from Fire-Emblem and Lord of The Rings? Definitely got the vibe from this RP.

I think this was used to reveal that the character is also an actor - or at least it's their hobby (hence the green screen and the mention in the monologue toward the end). So I guess the camera rule doesn't apply here and that'll also be the reason for the fantasy elements. But I could be wrong. I'll edit this with a more in depth response once I've digested it.

This does explain alot about who The Roy is. What he wants out of life and why he enjoys these fantasy settings. As far as why i chose that specific setting the idea was that I was in a dream world. At least that's how it was meant to be perceived until we realize it's actually now become Roy's nightmare. Are you sure you guys are reading every line? Bishop hit it right on the head. Also I hope the chess metaphor didn't go over any heads. Joe Bishop. The bishop was about to capture the rook. Which you were lead to believe was Roy but Roy was offended because hes not a rookie. He is the king. The king took the bishop.

I actually make a regular habit of reading every third line and every other word in reverse order when I read rps.
Your chess metaphor was pretty on the nose, and that's fine, but I stand my ground in stating that other than the fact that he has a green screen and a vivid imagination, I still didn't get much exposition into Roy the carbon life form that's going to get in the ring and wrestle.
And a personal note - I know you're all accomplished in SNME, but it's still fairly early to come riding in on such a high horse.

And a personal note - I know you're all accomplished in SNME, but it's still fairly early to come riding in on such a high horse. Yeah, I'll make my statement on this and leave it at that. I've seen the influx of talent from there to here. I'm not sure if it closed down, new management, whatever. New faces and experienced roleplayers are welcome here. But what happened elsewhere really doesn't matter at all here. Look at Josh Dean. I'm sure he's done a lot of roleplaying in the last 7 years while he was away from WFWF and the only thing that truthfully matters here is that he's a former WFWF International champion. This came up when Hutton Brown was around too and I think my Vince McMahon "if it's not our world, it doesn't matter" philosophy irritated him as well. I agree with what's been said about this. There's a fair amount of surrealism and it's hard to gain any grasp of who he is. For roleplay four, this would've worked well I'm sure. For an introductory piece, the best thing I gathered is that The Roy has a goofy name that shouldn't be mocked because he takes himself seriously. All well and good and I get that you're an experienced roleplayer and comfortable in this character, but it's almost why when going new places, it's better to start with a new character and leave the past behind. I know if I went somewhere else, and I started talking about beating Kyzer, holding the WFWF title longer than anyone else, crippling Hutton Brown and ending his career, The Curse, etc.. I'd expect to be laughed at, mocked, and "who the are those people" and coming here, until your actions behold your reputation you kind of have to expect a similar form of mockery.

Alright I don't really know where the high horse thing came in. I think you are taking the context of my reply and reading it in the wrong tone. Also why do you guys keep talking about SNME. I didn't mention SNME or my past in SNME even once. So why you are criticizing me on that I'm not sure. The only mention I made to snme was in the template and that was because it asked what titles I have won. Perhaps it meant in this fed only? I don't know, that was unclear. I agree SNME has nothing to do with this board, that's why my character never mentioned it's existence.

I'm kind of sick of reading about my opponent's chess games, it is a nice little metaphor, which does work fairly well with Roy's position I guess. And I know I've brought it on myself, but I've read quite a few RPs that have used that now against me, and well, it's not really that inventive. I actually thought the majority of this was pretty good, it certainly was very confusing for someone who has never read one of your RPs before and I absolutely think it wasn't the best way to introduce the character. But I also thought it was written well and while bits here and there put me off a bit, I didn't think it was a bad idea at all. For me the concept and the surreal elements wouldn't have been a problem had what followed been strong and clearer. It was pretty confusing at first and I was very skeptical until I deciphered what was going on. My problem with the RP really was that the reveal of what The Roy is (I'm guessing actor/wrestler but that isn't very clear) and the monologue didn't clarify what was going on as well as it needed to. And I think that's where the issues arise. If that had made it clearer who Roy is and what he's doing in the WFWF then I really wouldn't have had much to complain about. But instead I was confused at the start of the RP (by design), then there was neat reveal of what was going on, but everything after that just confused me again when it really shouldn't have. Even though it wasn't badly written, I felt like it raised questions that needed to be and weren't answered. The contradictions in the monologue about Bishop annoyed me a little bit as well, 'I don't know you Joe so I don't have a lot to say other than good luck. You once said you've made a catalogue of mistakes. The biggest one you will all make is assuming I am the rookie. You have spent so much time talking about Solomon Crow. Talking about Trace Demon. Talking about everyone and everything and you mention me only as some sort of after thought.' sounds like a stalker rather than someone who knows nothing about Joe Bishop . I think (and I'm guessing here) that, that's the danger of writing a monologue and then waiting to read your opponents RP and adding to it. I've stopped doing that, I think it's a risky and pretty limiting strategy. Having said all of that, once we've got a firmer grasp of the character (and I absolutely think you need to do more to get that across) I can see you doing well here.

It's not bad at all. Just explain more about why he has come to WFWF and how he got to where he is and just go from there. I feel as if this could have been used as a second or maybe third RP depending on what kind of storyline you wanted to do within your RPs. It was great, just state that stuff next time.
Good job nonetheless.

Here's where I get what I get: you listed all your accolades in your profile from a fed that, for the sake of this universe, doesn't exist. Your fellow transplant proclaims "the f*cking Roy is back" and that you're going to show "these f*ckers", presumably us, the collective WFWF, how good you can be. You respond to criticism with comments like "are you sure you're reading every line" and "I hope that reference didn't go over your head".
Collectively, all these seemingly little "misinterpretations" or things that we're reading "too deep into" REAK of an arrogant, rotten attitude, at least to me. I'm all for experienced, talented writers coming in to shake up the status quo. Unlike Obo, I don't even see any harm in using the same basic character outline. I do, however, have a couple of basic rules of thumb, at least in my own, complete lack of actual authority mind - A) from e-fed to e-fed, unless there's some sort of long standing history between two, cross promotional accomplishments don't mean tiddly twat. B) humility is key. I'm an arrogant s.o.b., and I'll be the first to tell you, but if I jumped over to another fed tomorrow, packing Avalon, Vieira, Brennan, or Kirkbride, I'm gonna be that pond's little fish, and I'm gonna have the decency to not make snide little remarks about people's intelligence or, heaven forbid, reading comprehension if they don't instantly jive on what I'm putting out.
I'd expect the same of any newcomer here, whether they're Kyle Matthews green or Hutton Brown tenured.

...or everyone is being overly sensitive...which is truly something coming from me.
Roy, you may have been top dog elsewhere, but you are new here so you should not expect everyone to know every little thing about your character. You can keep the framework as you have here, but you have to ease people who know nothing about you into understanding why Roy is this big deal. I have faith that you can do that. But cool it with questioning peoples intelligence. You are free to think you are better than everyone/people just don't understand your skill, but if you say stuff like that, crap starts. I do not want that as owner and would not want that as a member. Just relax and remember you may not be new to the game, but you are new here.
Brennan, taking that kind of attitude is what causes people to not feel welcome here and quit. It does not matter if you were 100% right or 100% wrong, if you want to tell someone what's up then you do it without going on the attack. And if they respond in a cruddy kind like Roy did, well if you are the veteran like you are spouting off yourself to be, you should not bite into it and just leave well enough alone and ignore their existence. Let them self destruct on their own. No one said you had to be the person to read the influx here the riot act. That should be done by someone who does not come across as antagonistic in even non-intentionally antagonistic posts. I know you are probably going to either flame back, or take my advice and ignore someone (me) you want nothing to do with, but hey. I need to say what is best to keep the peace in this place in the long run.
Jesus, and y'all wonder why I am quitting this place.

I really think everyone is busting The Roy's ass over nothing. I thought this was a great intro rp. If you people are judging this by what he wrote in his bio then I am surprised by the lack of intelligence.
Anyways I thought this was good stuff. I want to see more, I can tell that you know how to write from this here. Metaphors are great, I use them a lot. Keep this up. I think ego is necessary. I can completely understand how it fits with the character, I think that is good to have arrogance in debut rps. It shows confidence, and you would look stupid if you just wrote your character as a **** just to show respect. F~ck that. You don't there respect, just kick their ass and then they will just have to deal with it.
I made my bones here by not listening to people's opinions or caring if I rubbed them the wrong way. No where does it say you can't have confidence and ego in your writing. If you don't then don't be here.
I like this a lot. Stick around. F~ck the haters.

It's just that we as outsiders from another place have to get use to a different style of roleplay and writing. Fantasy stuff was the norm there and if its not welcome here then just gotta change it up a bit. At the same time watching TNA, WWE we all knew the fantasy stuff wasn't real like we know Undertaker wasn't really shooting lightning, we know we can't really hear what Jeff Hardy as thinking in his "These are my thoughts" promos, but it was entertaining and for the sake of the promo only. I think that is going to be the hardest thing here because it is like oh he has to be an actor because he was using greenscreen, not he is just doing it for promo sake, thats what he meant when he said people are looking too deep into it. I think we all think logically and don't look beyond to see most of this was done for entertainment.

I'm actually a big fan of fantasy stuff, to the degree that when Dex started here and seemed more liked he was actually going to be some fallen angel, I encouraged it when everyone else kinda steered him toward the dual personality complex that's been beat to death around here.
I think my words got misconstrued, depending on whose reaction you choose to take on. I just wanted the dial turned up a bit more on this piece so that I got a better feel for the character, which was kinda missing there. Even the Undertaker existed to rack up a body count of souls or whatever. If The Roy manipulates time and space (in his promos and segments strictly - in the ring would be weird), I'm all for it, so long as the characterization is there.
