I'm interested in launching a somewhat silly RP based on the Maid the RPG system. The basic premise is one I've used before, and basically is a shameless ripoff of Batman Beyond: An aging, wealthy protector of the city 'New Gothic' has been forced to retire from his role as vigilante of the night and has decided to hire a group of maids to take care of him during the day and clean up the streets of New Gothic by night.

If you've never played Maid the RPG before, don't worry. You can use http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/maidrpg.html to create a character and I'll explain the easy system for rolling skill attempts and combat once the game starts. I'd advise setting two special qualities. Feel free to select the color of eyes, hair, and uniform or let chance decide.

I'll try to check forums several times at least every week, and usually manage to do daily checks, so please don't volunteer to join if you can't check in at least once a week and preferably closer to once a day.

Anyone interested? Have any questions?

This Guy: I figure the RP will be half at the mansion and half crime fighting, so you'd need some role in the mansion to fit in.

Sergey: Character approved. No, the weapon doesn't have to be real. For your character's back story, perhaps you were grown\created in a lab which explains why you are considered property.

Then consider Aicha to be sporting a Whip Sword and a Claw Shield, I'll think about a good backstory

Edit: BTW, this generator is funny as hell, I just rolled some chars for the lols, one or two of them used bazookas of all things, but the Crowning Moment Of Funny was a maid that simultaneously had brown skin and was an Albino... the description was interesting.

When you are extremely upset, you get into whatever vehicle is handy and go for a joyride at at least twice the speed limit. Due to your notable Luck, you have the ability Escape. You can completely flee from a battle without taking any Stress.

Well, the Anarachist character could end up being hired to guard the mansion. Also, on said topic, is it okay if he has a couple rather advanced weapons? (A zeppelin, and at least 2 helicopters)

Maid Types: Boyish & Sexy
Special Qualities: Runaway Ninja, Gynoid
Favored Attribute: Affection
Maid Power: Power of Friendship

Maid Weapon: Religious Symbol
Stress Explosion: Running Away

Your name is Catherine. You are 19 years old. You have red eyes and black hair, and wear a black maid uniform. You are boyish and sexy; others describe you as glamorous, coquettish and curvy.

You ran away from your ninja village. You are not human, but rather a human-looking robot, with a number of overtly artificial features.

You are a member of an organization that opposes the master, and you have been sent to spy on or even possibly assassinate him. In combat, you use a cross, prayer wheel, paper charm, or other seemingly harmless religious symbol to attack. When you are extremely upset, you run away from the mansion. Due to your notable Affection, you have the ability Power of Friendship. You can take 1d6 Stress in order to remove 2d6 Stress from someone else.

I'm thinking she was originally placed with the Master as a sleeper agent for the ninja opposing the Master, but now she's rejected her ninja makers and is working solely for the Master.

Still working on the weapon.

Hmm, regarding my background, normally I'd say she was sold to pay for her parents/whatever debts but I realized that's its own background, maybe I'll take the lab varint, though I'm still thinking.

Here's mine.

You and one of the other characters are constant, but friendly, rivals in some area. For some reason, love just never works out for you; at this point, you've resigned yourself to your fate.

You are an illegitimate child; from a legal standpoint you are no different from the master. In combat, you wield a machinegun. When you are extremely upset, you go into your room and won't come out, not even for food. Due to your notable Affection, you have the ability Windows of the Soul. You understand the master's feelings better than anyone, and can offer careful help. (Add 2 to Favor gained.)

Okay thought for a bit, how about my route will be Type D Happiness in Slavery, basically she could have gone by now but realized that the situation she is in now probably is better than what would happen otherwise. (Considering she gets to be a vigilante that isn't even so far stretched when you presume that additionally to being vigilantes the maids basically get free beds, food and probably entertainment in the master's villa)

So I take it you're a Butler instead of a Maid? Or is "Ben" one of those unisex names that I never knew about...like Alexis?

Also, I volunteer to be Ben's rival!
