There's something you should know about me before I even try to get started on this....I'm a slow, calm person. I do not take to immobile schedules, not to mention that my internet access gives me trouble anyway. So, no, I did not give up on my old two RPs and I don't plan on it...they will just move at a slower pace than what ya'll are used to. Aaaand, moving on, this is an idea I've had for a roleplay for literally months, even before I joined this site. I really hope people like it...I tried. :'( This will be similar to Aladdin, but a much more hard-core Aladdin. I am in serious need for ideas for this! My idea-o-tron is running low on fuel so I only managed to come up with for the story what you read below. If you have ideas for me, please throw them out there! Because as it is now...the story sort of is fail!...it needs your creative input.
Sunset over Arabia
An Arabian Nights Roleplay
Story
Long ago, on the far edge of the Arabian desert, there rose from the dunes a great city named Agrabah, that gleamed golden under the high-set sun. Agrabah was ruled by a single man, whom they called a Sultan. He had a single daughter named Du'a', who was to be wed upon the coming of her eighteenth birthday. The Sultan was a well-loved, generous, caring man who wanted nothing more for his people than happiness....But more often than not he couldn't supply this. For the police were corrupted. They seemed to care more about themselves than actually getting rid of crime, and because of this, crime rates continued to grow and grow, disheartening the poor Sultan ever so.
Though...not all was peril among the sand and sun....It seems that...by the rumors of tavern-dwellers and wise gypsies, that the Cave of Wonders has been discoverd, hidden in a mirage in a distant part of the desert. And...by the by....it is told that, deep inside that cave you will find a Lamp, a Lamp that will grant you three wishes, anything in the world that you so desire. Ultimate power and riches, divinity and love, anything you want.
But finding the Cave of Wonders is more difficult than it seems. Mystic booby traps and unusal desert monsters block passage. Not only that, but everyone and their brother seems to want the Lamp for themselves. The Sultan wants it so that he can grant peace and happiness to the world. The corrupted police and guards want it to fulfill their own evil ends, and don't even get me started on the mystic wishes of the gypsies.
Will you manage to find the Lamp? And, if you do, what will you wish for?
Anything seems to be possible in this roleplay of ancient times...

Rules
Entaru and Chrono will be my co-GMs.
*No Godmodding/Powerplaying.
*Give people a fair fighting chance, whether that be to catch up or in an actual duel/scrap. Even if your character is cruel when fighting, give your adversary a sliver of a chance to at least stand up or something.
*This is in ancient times. Nothing modern, aka people are riding on horses and are buying things with coin.
*Must approve you before you post.
*Sasha/Entaru/Chrono are in charge of both the desert wilds and the Sultan. If something is to happen, they will make it happen.
*If you choose to give your character a high rank (i.e. a member of the royal court or a high ranking trader), consult Sasha before having them do anything huge and game-changing,
* There will be no post order (because that makes life difficult and doesn't let people catch up in time), BUT you have to post every three days.
*It will be understood that I tend to epically fail so if I screw up somewhere, don't hesitate to tell me...
* Be nice, no haters, and have fun!

Every so often, a suitor will cross her path, but she so far has turned down all of them, wanting to marry for love, not because she was forced into it,..Secretly this girl dreams of running away and finding the Lamp herself......so that maybe she can find a way to get out of the hellish routine, the constant smiling, dancing and glamour that is place life.
