This is a list of ideas set in Illakia I would be interesting in roleplaying over IM.

You have just been recently divorced and are now penniless. You are dumped into the Shacks, the poor slum area of Grand City, with only the clothes you stand up in to your name. You will have to sell and barter your way into a job, a slum and avoid missing tax or getting arrested. I've done this before and it's really good. There are a list of rules which the game will run by and a map I can give you.

The Undercover Slave. You are employed by the Secret Police to spy on a lord who might be plotting against the Emperor - by posing as a slave. The mission will have total deniability, so if it all goes wrong no-one will help you, and you will have to pose as the obedient slave.

You walk home to find a man waiting for you. He claims that you owe him thousands of lira as loan repayment, and he has therefore enslaved you. He shows you the evidence - a contract you can't remember signing and the court order making you sub-human, and all you, your home and all your belongings the property of this stranger. He then forces you to serve him in what was your home.

You were an orphan. You were raised by a state orphanage. There you were under the wing of a particularly zealous tutor, and you were indoctrinated into believing that all women are sub-human and should be slaves, and as soon as you leave the orphanage, you fervently give yourself up to be a slave.

You are a slave, working at a gentleman's club, where your status means the clients have full control over their waitresses.

The Emperor's Slave. You are one of the hundreds of slaves the Emperor owns.

One I'm borrowing from one of my forum roleplays, but I'm interested in doing it on IM. A girl from the upper middle class/lower nobility.  Her father has enough money to send her to a private academy for girls, which could ensure her a future as the proper wife of some lord or well off businessman.  However, she still needs to attend the mandatory classes and avoid sexual contact with the other girls.  There might also be a brother academy, with joint events (dances, cheerleaders).

A newlywed woman.  Her husband is successful enough to own a harem of slaves.  She has to manage the slaves, but there is also jealousy and competition (and potentially rival suitors to provide temptation.)

The idea is that it is set in an Illakian courtroom, probably in Grand City, and probably over two days or more. On the first day, you will play the judge, who will be seeing a number of cases in his court over the day (say three, with a couple of sentencings). I will play the female defendants. I would imagine that whoever is playing the judge would play the prosecution. If a witness is called, we will toss to see who plays that. The idea is that we'll simply roleplay courtcases, and whovever is judge has the pleasure of passing judgement etc. On the second day, we would swap, so that I became the judge. If all goes well, we may even swap for a third day, where you could bring back any sentencing you may have deferred from the first day.

Girl is sentenced to be enslaved.

Girl is sent to prison.

A single woman is a devout follower of the Doctrine, believing it fully and passionatly. One day she comes across some illegal rebel atheist literature, and to her horror it makes some sense to her. Quickly though her brainwashed mind reverts, and she is horrified at what she thought. She resolves to make her life as miserable as possible as pennance, not allowing herself any pleasure. Eventually she resolves to sell herself as a slave to biggest prick she knew.


For those with more extreme tastes.

More extreme ones.

E1. A girl is sentenced to slavery, and attempts escape. She is caught and crucified.

E2. A girl is sentenced to death (by any means you like).

E3. A girl is accused of heresy. Found guilty, she is sentenced to death. However, the judge orders her to be tortured before her death to reveal details of her movement, and to confess and accept the true god. The method of execution at the end can be decided later. Maybe the judge is extra cruel, and refuses to tell the condemned girl how she will be killed until the day of her death. This roleplay could start at the moment of arrest if you wished.

E5. A girl is sentenced to life imprisonment at Westbeach Island. Here, all prisoners are decreed sub-human, are worked hard and suffer harsh discipline with no checks on the guards' cruelty and no rights for the women.

E6. A roleplay set in the court of the Emperor. The Emperor owns hundreds of slaves, all gifts from lords or government departments, and he never sells them on. You could play a slave in the harem, or if you feel slightly domly, you could play one of the Emperor's wives. The Emperor is a sadist with limitless power, and to him the slaves are literally worthless sub-human toys.
