Hmm. I'm wondering if something like Yandere Simulator could work as a roleplay concept. The setting would probably be a small mixed-aged rural school with maybe 30-50 students. There would be one Senpai our characters would be REALLY into, and a "transfer" student moving in every so often to play the role of the love rival. It's your job to make sure they don't succeed - no matter the cost.

Think it's worth pursuing, or nah?

So effectively an 'alliance' of local girls who're in love with senpai, joining forces to sabotage the transfer students/murder them in order to take away the competition. With the reason why they haven't fucked each other over being some kind of... Pact, or something, like a contract between them so that they get their fair shot at senpai.

They just won't tolerate any other rivals aside from each other.

We can title it "the cult of senpai".

I'd rather not be so overt that the girls go all "children of the corn" and conspire in uniformed mobs. Perhaps an alpha bitch could pull the strings for their own ends?

Another possibility, and one that I would prefer, is one where one where the rivals are actually player characters selected before the route begins. We would loop the arc under set groundhog day conditions - the story would reset if Senpai dies or is unable to fall in love with the arc hero(ine). The problem this presents is that we would require several active characters.

Hm, would it be embarrassing if I didn't know what a senpei was? I'm guessing it's some sort of anime word. Anyways, as for this school-based RP, I think a RP completely different from the usual action-adventures we have could be a nice change, giving us a break from (usually my) usual violent adventures. Would this be strictly romance/manipulation? Heh, the first thing that popped into my head was, "Could I be a school shooter?" It seems I can't be part of any thread without thinking of violence of some sort.

Senpai is a japanese pronoun for "upperclassman" or someone who does the same job, only they've done it longer and are therefore better at it than you are. "Notice me, Senpai" is a common trope for anime, as the steriotypical japanese girl is into older men.

Yandere is a term used for a psychologically unwell person - they are essentially trying to hide a manipulative and posessive personality.

I suppose romance and manipulation would be a good means to progress the story, but the idea is to build towards more drastic action.




On a completely unrelated note:
