On the high chance that there will be no more FD movies, I was thinking maybe here we could do an RP that would essentially be a Final Destination 5, filled with the usual premonitions, deaths, and the extremely negligent background characters who often these deaths!
First thing's first: I think the first part of the RP we should come up with (For anyone who wants to join) is what the beginning disaster should be. Then, we'd be able to decide if the characters should be in the same general group (Like FD 1 and 3) or random people (2 and 4.)
Some ideas I thought of for the beginning disaster:
A waterslide collapsing.
A bridge over the ocean collapsing.
A laboratory explosion.
I'm very open to ideas for this one!
Edit: The List so far (Not including any possible interventions)
James
Kyle
Zack
Aggie

Well, I for one, am a fan of the Final Destination movies. Although, wouldn't it be a bit, er....gruesome to do an RP based upon them? Cause of how people can die?
*shrugs*
Well, either way, I wouldn't mind having a go at the RP myself, I mean, I'm game for it.
As for opening disaters for it, hmm, good question. So far, I do like the whole labratory explosion thing....or perhaps something in a museum goes wrong, you know, exhibits collapsing and killing people sort of thing.
-
Well, since this is an rp and not a movie, we don't have to be gruesome, just creative.
-
lol yeah, that's true ^^
So yeah, you can count me in, wouldn't mind this RP at all. One question I have is in regards to characters, I mean, if they do get killed off sort of thing and all that. Would it then lead to another premonition sort of thing with new characters all together?
-
Maybe we could come up with a way for the design to truly be destroyed, something the movies never made quite clear.
-
Hmm, yes, there is that way as well. Good point too, I suppose, at the moment, we could just go with it sort of thing and go from there too.
But yeah, it is rather hard to say on what could stop death's design like that. Like in the 1st and 2nd movies, it was all about tieing up the loose ends. However, in the 3rd and 4th movies, it seemed to had been all tied up as well with everyone dying in the end.
-
I remember hearing that one of the Final Destination novels actually DID provide an explanation for the premonitions and how to beat Death, but I forgot which one it was...
-
Ah well, I suppose we can just make it up ourselves throughout the RP you know, everyone talking about it before death claims their life and it's like a race against time sort of thing with each survivor getting killed off whilst trying to figure out how to beat it.
-
I even have one death planned already. (Want to hear it in a PM?)
-
Ah, cool, and sure, in PM, would like to know about it ^^
-
Just sent it to you.
-
Hehe sweet man ^^
You gonna wait to see if any others will want to join as well before starting up the RP? Or what's going to be happening? Just so I know :)
-
We should wait to see if anyone else wants to join, but maybe we could come up with characters now.
-
Yeah, good idea. That, and we defiently need a setting of where the premonition would happen too, since that's what starts off everything XD
-
Do you want the survivors to be high school-college age or a mixutre of that age and adults?
-
For me, a bit of a mix you know, like in number 2 and number 4, some were older, some were younger sort of thing. But not too old or too young, you know, not a child or elderly sort of thing.
-
Agreed. So we need to come up with an opening disaster where we could find a scenario where people of those age groups would be mixed.
-
So far, all I can think if is either a museum or perhaps a water park at least anyway.
-
How about an industrial accident? Would that work?
-
It could, but remember too, in the industrial area, it's more the same kind of people, middle aged, not really teenagers, or older people sort of thing.
I take it you're interested in the RP as well?
-
I might take part.
-
I'm for all of the suggested premonition ideas so far.
-
Well, now that I think of it, a water park premonition could be hard to do.
However, I still stand by museum idea :lol:
-
Some of my characters:
1. Alexis Brisby-A bookworm teenager, would be given the "library" death I described in the PMs.
2. Terri Fisher-Possibly the main premonitionist or his girlfriend if we make the main character a guy
3. Kyle Kain-An employee at whatever setting we go with for the main disaster, is in his mid-30s, not very cheery.
The museum idea, yeah, that could work!
-
Ooo, nice characters you have, I like them ^^
Zoe Harrison - Teenager goth-like girl, but is also someone whom likes museums and history, reason why she would be in a museum in the first place XD
Zack Harrison - Zoe's brother, yet, he himself isn't a goth, nor does he like history all that much and was pretty much dragged along with Zoe to wherever the premonition takes place. He actually plays the guitar and is part of a band, which I don't have name for it yet.
Luna Harris - A rather fragile girl so to speak, not essentially brave or anything like that, but does enjoy going out and what not. Not to mention, she is also a bit of a loner as well, doesn't really have any friends herself, but is dating Zoe at the moment :p
All my characters are in their teen years, like 18 or so ;)
-
Same to you.
We should add a few more adult characters, though.
-
Hehe, alrighty then!
Joe Brown - A hobo whom gets killed only by passing by in the premonition. And yes, he's homless, lives on the streets, begging for money and what not. And he's a brown-skinned charatcer too so to speak.
-
Jeremy Fletcher - USAF weapons handler
(that's all I can think of at the moment)
-
Jeremy Fletcher - USAF weapons handler
(that's all I can think of at the moment)
I can only imagine how many possible ideas for deaths we could get out of that one :DD
-
I am not going to join but if you need ideas for deaths; I will be happy to assist.
-
Jack Fletcher - Department of Transportation employee
James Fisher - casino owner
-
Thanks Serris, could you PM me some (If you have any at the moment?)
Also, F-22, you should have a reason all your characters are at the museum for the beginning.
Also, I think I have the main protagonist:
Tim Meeks-18 years old, big into gaming and is superstitious.
Aggie Meeks-Tim's older sister, thinks the whole Death's Design idea is asinine.
-
So, that makes 12 characters all up so far ^^
-
I do the weapons handler is on leave, the casino owner is there for a fundraiser, and the DOT worker is there on the last day of his vacatition.
-
Ah, very nice indeed F-22, very nice indeed. Good reasons and all that ^^
Zack by the way, is there to look out for his younger sister you know, even though he hates it.
And Luna is there on a date with Zoe more or less.
-
Alexis is there for studying, Terri just wants to check out the gift shop, Kyle works there, and Tim was on a date with Terri. Aggie is doing some research
-
Oh, and yes, Joe possibly could get in having begged for some money as well to be allowed admission into the museum.
But at least we've got the reasons all sorted out now, and three people playing, Brekclub, F-22 and myself, MrDrake :D
-
I think we could start the RP now, if you guys wanted to.
-
Yup, I'm all for it myself ^^
-
sounds good.
-
It's been started.
-
I got some deaths that I wrote but I have no idea if they are the right vein.
Check your PM box, Brek.
-
It's been started.
Awesome mate. Just one quick question. How do you propose the premonition would start off?
-
With a big sculpture collapsing, perhaps?
-
Need premonitions as well? I will try to provide those too.
-
Hmm, yeah, that could work out, starts off by crushing someone after one of the survivors, mainly the main person notices that it's loose or something.
And then yeah, go from there with other people dying in the museum till the one with the premonition either dies, or is about to die you know before snapping out of it.
-
That's how it works in the movies, so let's go with that.
-
Just one more thing I want to know:
Once we get to the regular deaths, who should control what kills the characters? Should we take turns playing Death, or should one of us be responsible for all the death scenes?
-
Hehe yeah, that's what I was also going by on how the main character would notice things wrong and before they know it, things go wrong and kills friends and other people around.
Then of course, after the premonition ends, the main character gets all freaked out and also persueds his/her friends to leave, causing a ruckus and others to leave as well youknow, like in 1, 3, and 4, since in number 2, the main girl stops the traffic from getting onto the highway XD
As for controlling death and all, it should be in order of how they would've died in the museum, but I still reckon that said character should be killed off how the one who plays them wants to sort of thing, but also setting up so as to give others time to say, get there and try and save them and what have you ^^
-
Good idea Drake.
Also, besides interventions, we should plan what we want the order to be in the premonition, so we don't get mixed up later during the rp.
-
lol yeah, that's true. You have an idea for the order to happen? You know, mix it up between each of us, say Kyle is first, then say Jeremy Fletcher, then Luna, then Alexis sort of thing, but of course, leaving Terri till last, since she seems to be having the premonition ^^
-
Actually, I was going to have Tim be the one with the premonition.
Of my character's I'll probably kill off Aggie first.
(We'll discuss the order when F-22 gets back tomorrow.)
-
Ah, so it shall be Tim....he's not an enchanter is he? *shifts eyes* :lol:
Sorry, Monty Python moment there XD
As for my characters, it'll probabally be either Zack or Joe, not sure just yet.
-
Sorry for the double post, but for the order, will you add it to the front page of the discussion and throughout the RP, perhaps strike out those who have been killed off?
You know, like this?
Just a thought is all, thought it would make it also easier to keep track of it all ;)
-
Agreed.
-
As a fan of this series, this RP has definitely caught my attention :yes. May I join?
-
Sure!
Feel free to add your character to Death's list! :DD
-
Order of my characters will probabally be like this:
Zack
Zoe
Luna
Joe
-
This will be my characters order.
James
Jack
Jeremy
-
My order, from first to last:
Kyle
Aggie
Alexis
Terri
Tim
-
Now then, we need a way of getting in the order you know, so it combines all three ^^
I for one though, would like it so that Zoe dies, then Luna after her on the list, since I do have a way of how they die in the museum.
And of course, when Canerian Tiger joins, we can also work any of her characters into it as well ;)
-
We should also start planning our character's post-premonition deaths.
-
Hmm yeah, like clues or something, since post-premonitions didn't really show up till the last movie. There were only clues in the previous ones.
-
I've got the casino owners death all worked out but i'm still working on the other two.
-
Do you also have a way of where they would also leave with the others? You know, either annoyed by them and want to sort something out or by being warned or something? Cause if they are to be warned, Tim'll probabaly have to do that, unless they also hear yelling and all.
Cause I know how my characters will leave, Zack will overhear Tim mentioning the premonition sort of thing....since that's what usually happens and would probablly follow him out annoyed with him while Zoe will leave to follow her brother with her girlfriend Luna you know. Joe on other hand, will probabally will start getting warry and would leave just in case sort of thing.
-
I have Kyle's, Aggie's, and Alexis's deaths planned.
And by post-premonition, I meant all the regular, individual kills.
The teenagers: could listen to Tim or just not want to see him get into trouble.
Kyle: escorts Tim out of the museum after Tim freaks out and causes a ruckus.
F-22's characters: I'm not sure, I want to hear what his ideas are.
-
Ah okay. Well, in that case, I am still slowly figuring that part out.
However, at the moment, go from knowing the actual order, as I would say start with Kyle, then James, then Zack, then back to Aggie, then Jack, Alexis, Zoe, then Luna, then Terri.
Which will leave Tim, Jeremy and Joe the survivors sort of thing.
What do you guys think? Just an idea is all ^^
-
I was thinking the Final Four survivors (Whether it be the original list or after interventions) should be two boys and two girls personally.
-
The director will ask my characters to leave after james hits jack afterwhich jeremy and him start fighting.
-
Yeah, true. Well, we do need to sort it out more or less now you know, just so we know who dies when sort of thing, what order, etc, etc.
I mean, we do need to know the order so as to know who dies in the museum first and from there sort of thing.
However, I still stand by my desicion that Joe will at least survive till then end. And depending on whom else wants to surivie, if Luna will also surive or not.
-
I personally feel the final Five should be:
Tim
Terri
Zoe
Joe
Jeremy
(I don't how I came up with that order, it just came to my head.)
An idea: Maybe none of the other characters are aware the hobo left the museum.
Joe would be right after an intervened death on the list, perhaps giving the remaining survivors a false sense that they are safe?
-
Hmm yeah, but Luna in place of Zoe for me. As then, Luna would indeed, be rather heartbroken and upset that Zoe is dead you know.
But yeah, it could also work out with Joe as well, but question is, which intervened death happens? Perhaps Jack can be the one that is saved which in turn, skips him or something.
-
That Sounds good. Maybe the first death should be the casino owner.
-
Well, my characters are already set up for their deaths in the museum, just so you know, as I know how each of them will die.
But still, we need an order, I like the casino order being first, then perhaps Zack?
-
Yeah, the first death (or first two) should be adults, with Kyle being the 2nd.
-
Alrighty, then Zack can be third :p
I already has his death in the museum sorted for sure, would especially happen after a rather loud thud ^^
-
Aggie will be the next of my characters, whether she be 4th or 5th on the list.
-
Okay, so we've got:
James
Kyle
Zack
Aggie
Jack
Zoe
Luna
Alexis
Joe
Terri
Jeremy
Tim
I know that Zoe will die, then Luna after her, but where, not too sure just yet, as in, what spots.
I'll edit this when we sort out more spots ^^
Then if you want to Brek, add it to the first post of this topic ;)
Update: How does that list look to you guys?
-
Updated! :)
-
Then perhaps it could be Jack, then Zoe, then Luna, then Alexis. Leaving Terri, Tim, Jeremy and Joe left alive in the end at least ^^
-
Well, that's not counting interventions ;)
-
Yeah, that's the original list ^^
As for the survivors, who would die when then? Perhaps it would then be Joe, Terri, Jeremy and then last, but not least, Tim.
-
I'm thinking the final 5 survivors (If that's our plan, or if we change it during the rp, should go in this order-Joe-Jeremy-Luna-Terri-Tim (The Final 3 teens could be at the same place so death gets them all at once.)
-
Well, I had Luna to die after Zoe myself actually, since they are together when it happens sort of thing.
However, I had updated my list to what I thought it could look like actually. Well, before any interventions happen, how they die in the museum actually.
What do you guys think of the list? Because of course, it'll change later on in the rp with others interveening and what have you, screwing up death's plan.
-
I like the list!
-
Hehe thanks ^^
Well, at least we now how the death order in the museum all sorted out now.
Those who are part of the rp, look at it, just to know who dies when ;)
-
Who's died in the rp so far in the premonition?
-
Well, technically, no one has, as we were still sorting out the list, but now that we have the list, deaths can start happening ^^
-
Okay, I've got my three characters in mind ;):
*Christina- twenty years old, engaged to character Lyle, character Daisy's best friend since childhood.
*Lyle-twenty years old, engaged to Christina.
*Daisy- nineteen years old, Christina's best friend.
As for their order:
*Lyle
*Christina
*Daisy
-
Ooo, nice, I like 'em.
And I say, jump in when you can, we'll work them into death's list ^^
-
James
Kyle
Zack
Lyle
Aggie
Jack
Zoe
Luna
Christina
Alexis
Joe
Amy
Terri
Daisy
Jonathan
Jeremy
Tim
Just an update on the list, throwing in Cancerian and Guardian's characters ^^
-
I've gotta stop logging off for weeks at a time...this is gonna be fun! :lol I can tell already. Brekclub you can definitely count me in on this one....although I do wonder about one thing, when and if all the characters die...will there be a sequel?
Now onto my characters:
Jonathan - 15 yrs. old and has asthma
Amy - 22 yrs. old and is a fitness instructor.
As for the list in which they die...well that can be seen from their profiles. :DD It would only be logical for the teenager with the breathing disorder to go first....right?
-
Curses! This is becoming popular now! :lol:
So many people on death's list this time XD
But yeah, I'm also wondering that one myself. One question Guardian, where on the list would you like your characters? Just remember, at the moment, I do want Zoe to die, then her girlfriend, Luna afterwards ;)
And yes, I got the list together, since Brek liked it ^^
-
To be honest Jonathan can be placed anywhere. However for Amy, ask she be placed below Joe.
And you and Brekclub have chosen the museum for the first premonition right?
-
Ah sweet, it shall be done then. And yes, Joe is a homeless guy whom got enough money to visit the museum XD
And yeah, it was the museum for the first premonition that more or less determins the order they die in.
Just so you know, what we are sort of going by is that we post up the deaths in any order sort of thing, but still determined by the list, so we aren't really waiting on people, but are as well. Well, in the very first premonition anyway. Have been sorting it out with Brek and I think that's what we decided on.
Will have to check on that one again though, just to make sure, but that's how at least, I'm seeing it, makes it a bit easier too in a way ^^
-
CT and GVG, your characters are all added! :DD
-
One question I have, do you wish to end the premonition once everyone else finishes off with their deaths? Mainly F-22 and of course, GVG whenever he can post ^^
-
Yup, as that how the usual FD premonitions end.
-
So, we're almost there with it then. Perhaps a friendly reminder to F-22 and GVG to remind them to post their characters deaths in one post?
-
I've mentioned it to GVG, F-22 might be busy.
-
Ah, sweet as ^^
-
I just had a thought of something. You know how the main character usually sees clues and all that about the next death that's to happen? Well, what I thought could happen is that in that case, whoever the death is about, the one who plays it could PM Brek about it and therefore, when he sees some clues, it would all be true or whichever.
-
Yup, that's a good idea Drake.
-
Awesome. Well, you already know of Zack's one anyway, well, the clues at least ^^
But good thing is, we can now get this rp moving along now. Starting with James I believe it was, then Kyle, then Zack at least.
So bit further down the track, whenever Brek does decide would be the best time too, get James' death underway F-22 ;)
Oh yeah, also Brek....would I be considered the er....co-owner/helper or whichever of this rp? Or nothing at all? :lol
-
So, for now, do you want to skip out on F-22's characters until he comes back? As in, change the order around a bit, Kyle, then Zack to start off with? Cause if so, then you could have Tim see the first clue on how Kyle would die sort of thing ^^
