I've cleared my RP angle with whoever runs the NGIW Twitter account (would that be Wighty?), but figured I'd lay it out here as well. I think I've set the stage for it pretty well with my intro RP, but this is primarily for anyone who hasn't read that yet, or simply wants more info.

First of all, Ronan has been retired from wrestling for a good year at least now. I can't even remember the last match he had before the hiatus. Anyway, I struggled to come up with a valid reason why he'd come out of retirement. He was perfectly content working as a mechanic and machinist, and taking care of his son.

But then it hit me a few days ago... what if Ronan was forced to wrestle against his will? What if his son was taken from him, and used to persuade him to fight or risk bodily harm to the 2 year old. I have various ideas in my head for the kind of interactions he'll have with his captors - from them wanting him to win matches, to beating up women (which he's strongly morally opposed to), to even throwing matches to benefit their goals of making a fortune through his paychecks as well as gambling on his matches.

I figure I can drag this angle out quite a ways. Ronan probably shouldn't stay captive forever, and he'd certainly try to escape on numerous occasions, particularly after his matches. But even when free from them, his captors would keep finding ways to keep his son from him.

But that's where all of you come in. I don't just want this angle to be a one man show. I've done a whole feud like that before, and it ended up burning me out really, REALLY bad. So I want to find ways to incorporate some of you guys' (and girls') characters into this as well over time. One idea I had was that Ronan's captors recruit the services of one (or more) of the other NGIW wrestlers to make things especially rough for Ronan. Conversely, maybe one/some could try to help him along the way as well.

Anyway, if any of you want to join in on this angle at any time, please let me know. I would most definitely like to incorporate some big, bloody feuds into this as well. Like I said, I don't want this to just be a one man show, or for everything to just revolve around Ronan. Having lots of moving parts that weave their way in and around it would be ideal. Basically it's a long, continuous story that helps drive Ronan's RPs. But some of the very best stories are created when multiple people are involved. So please let me know if you guys have any ideas.

Future reference, I don't run the NGIW Twitter.

Yeah, Nir has made me aware of that. My mistake.
