Maid the RP

[Andromeda]

As how it sounds from the title this is a RP about Maids. This is actually heavily inspired by a Japanese tabletop RPG called Maid RPG. I’ve pretty much taken the idea and converted into something that we can use to play with and have fun.

What is Maid RPG and now RP? It is an anime inspired setting that revolves around the daily lives of maids and their masters that they serve. So if you needed to get a picture in your mind just think of an anime that features Maids and you are already there. Since it is heavily anime based you should have a good idea of how this goes from here. It is intended to be a light, but entertaining and very humorous roleplay about the very hectic and complex lives of maids.

The way things work in the game are that the players play maids in service to a master the GM. The GM plays an active and persistent character in the game. The maids do work and attend to the master’s needs and when problems arise, and they do, they go into action to defend the master and the mansion. The master is pretty much a normal and weak human compared to the maids who are ‘statistically’ stronger than their master. For the RP I’m simplifying a lot of things and more or less running the concept.

I will be playing the master character and the rest that join will be playing maids. If we get a handful of people wanting to play I’ll introduce the Butler and Head Maid, but if it is just a few, then it’ll just be maids available. We can add more later if we wish.

If you are wondering what sort of activities and things that you should expect to happen expect there to be normal little tasks that the master will ask of you. How you complete those tasks are up to you and if you conflict or fight with the other maids is up to you as well. You can work together or against each other. Those will just be small little flavor things to be humorous mostly. The main things that will happen are events in the mansion. An example is the master is kidnapped by ninjas from a rival family seeking to ransom the master back to his family and you the maids must rescue the master. There are quite literally dozens maybe hundreds of events in the book I pick or I can even make them up.

The setting for the RP will be a modern day setting in a large mansion that would be typical of almost a European origin, but it will be in Japan. The master of the house is Yuki Kitayama and owns the Kitayama Mansion that has been in his family for generations. You will be the maids that serve him, how you came into his service is up to you to figure out.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Master
Name: Yuki Kitayama
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Height: 5’8”
Weight: 150lbs
Hair Color: Gray Blonde
Eye Color: Light Brown/Orange
Special Qualities: Glasses and My Pace
Stress Explosion: Seclusion
Master Powers: Talent and Popularity
Personality: Yuki is a laid back man that prefers to take life easy and in whatever form it comes in. There is a strange quality about him that makes him charming and popular that can’t be explained with words. When he is upset and can’t deal with what’s happening he’ll run to room where he will lock himself way. It is rare for him to become stressed out, but when it does he changes dramatically.
Appearance: He has short gray blonde hair with a smooth still youthful appearance, but there is a little age starting to appear in his face. Even though he comes for a wealthy aristocratic family it is rare for him to be wearing something formal, much to the chagrin of his family. His normal cloths are usually t-shirts and blue jeans or anything that is comfortable. He finds formal wear bothersome and will generally fight the need to wear it with a stubborn almost child-like attitude. The glasses he wears are small frames that look like they don’t provide any useful aid to vision (mental image Kagato from Tenchi Muyo or Ilpalazzo from Excel Saga).
Background: Yuki comes from a long line of Japanese Aristocrats that in the feudal era were lords. Their status has changed somewhat in the modern days being simply wealthy businessmen/women. Yuki has not inherited his family’s duties in spite of his age and much to the disappointment of his family. He wishes to live a more relaxed life in one of his family’s mansions in a more detached part of Japan. It is rare that he leaves the house and even rarer to have female company. He spends his days alone in his mansion with his maids that tend to his needs.
When Yuki was younger he was groomed to be the successor of his family’s business and name being the oldest. However, as he grew older differences in his opinions with his parents created a divide that eventually led to him leaving. His parents still wish for him to inherit the business, but have been left to focus on their other children who are looking a little more greedily at the position.

[Victoria]

Using my character from our earlier RPG.

Name: Victoria Harlette
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Height: 5'3"
Weight: 105 lbs
Hair Color: Orange
Eye Color: Grey
Maid Uniform Color: Green
Special Qualities: Sickly (Tuberculosis), Brown-Skin
Maid Roots: Who knows?
Stress Explosion: Gambling
Maid Powers: Instant Restraint
Maid Type: Lolita/Heroine
Maid Weapons: Vase/Bottle/Pot
Personality: Victoria is thankful that her Master has kept her employed even though she has Tuberculosis, and because of her gambling problem, he gives her a budget of his assets that she can use to gamble whenever she becomes upset. She likes to eat sweets and tries to be energetic and cheerful, but at the same time, she cannot push herself too hard, or else she will have fits of illness.
Appearance: Her orange hair flows just past her shoulders and her green maid's outfit is measured to her body perfectly as its frills and fluffs compliment her figure.
Background: Her background is completely mysterious. All she can remember or tells people is that she's been here since she was twelve.

[Andromeda]

That sounds fine, since it already is from the game. Though just pick one maid power, I know that you had two before because of your low stats, but just select one to keep things even between everyone. Otherwise, everything is fine.

[loner-kid]

Name: Aya Suzuhi
Age:15
Gender: female
Height:5' 0"
Weight: 95 lbs
Hair Color: Red
Eye Color: Green
Maid Uniform Color: Black
Special Qualities: Injury, trauma, shy, Over active imagination, Shapeshifter (Is this overkill?)
Maid Roots: Slave
Stress Explosion: Hides
Maid Powers: Immune to pain (there's so many to choose from and I can only have one, it took me hours to settle with this one and i'll probably change my mind in the next 10 minutes)
Maid Type: Lolita
Maid Weapons: Claws/Chain claws

Personality: Aya is shy and somewhat reserved due to her long years as a slave in a bad household. Her past experiences have made her wary and untrusting of others and she makes no effort to hide this fact if she feels someone is pushing themselves onto her. She is mostly lame in her left leg, and while walking holds no problems for her the shock of running would cause her to collapse, however she makes up for her disability by travelling on all fours when she needs to move quickly. Her leg also serves as a reminder of her life before being sold to her current master, and she would do anything to ensure she doesn't return to such a situation.

Appearance: Her red hair is long, easily flowing past her shoulder, with an enticing spiralling curl that winds itself slowly through the silken mass. Wolven ears perch themselves tauntingly on the top of her head, the same deep lustrous red as the hair that flows around them. Her face, small and petite with large doe like eyes and a single enlarged canine that pouts over her lip, seems to give off the faintest sense of bitter sweet melancholy. The maid uniform she wears is a deep black and somewhat less ornate than her fellows due to age. The dress was clearly not made to her size, loose across the chest and long on the arms, giving her the impression of a child forced to grow into her clothes.

background: Aya has been a slave for most of her life and the memories of freedom are only a dim recollection at the back of her mind. She was originally captured illegally by a group of poachers and forced to watch as her parents were butchered in front of her eyes. Her life as the poachers slave was harsh and she tried multiple times to escape, after the fifth attempt however the poachers lost their patience and cut into her left leg to stop any further escapades. The poachers however did more damage than they intended, causing the lameness in her leg and making her unsuitable for the work they gave her. Cutting short their losses the poachers sold her to a wealthy family who didn't mind that she was partially disabled. However even there Aya's abuse didn't end. She was assigned as a glorified house pet to the masters spoilt little brat of a child. She was commanded to do impossible or humiliating tasks and when she objected she was severely punished. The young child seemed to take delight in causing Aya misery and would constantly insult or ridicule her. Eventually she was rescued by a branch of the police force specialising in slave mistreatment and was re homed in the kitayama household

[Andromeda]

Everything seems to be fine. ^^; But you might have gone a little over board on the number of qualities. Some of them other smaller than others so it's not a real problem, though being shy and over-active imagination feels a little contradictory. I mean it can work, but I guess it would be something private.

So you're going for a little animal traits in your character as well with the ears and running on all fours. Should be an interesting household. ^^;

Welcome to the mansion. ^^

Once we get a couple more I'll get things moving. If people want to join after we start they'll just be new maids that I hired. It's pretty easy to add people.

[loner-kid]

yeah, overactive imagination was a bit of an impulse trait, but I did intend it to be private. In the end I might not use it but we'll see. The thing I was more concerned about was the characters past being a little too dark but that doesn't seem to be a problem and regardless I wasn't going to bring it up that much it is supposed to be quite a light hearted RP

[T.G. Oskar]

As I've always told you, Andro: the idea piques my interest, but the only thing I find myself at (despite the supposed troubles on playing one) is the butler. The man with the surname, older and wiser, perhaps a closet pervert. Or, the young and inexperienced butler who has a debt of millions but it's otherwise superhuman (kudos to who gets the reference)

So, if anyone else wishes to play, so the butler rules can be introduced?

Eye Color: Brown
Maid Uniform Color: Blue with white trim
Special Qualities: Actually a guy, the uncanny ability to disguise his voice as a females (otherwise this could have been awkward) and incredibly unlucky.
Maid Roots: Admirer of Maids - you may see where this is going. Carin being a bloke is a true admirer of mades and what better way to see more of them than become one?
Stress Explosion: When under stress Carin likes nothing more than shutting himself in a cupboard and drink himself into a drunken haze then hitting on anything in sight
Maid Powers: Coercion
Maid Type: Sexy. Not only is he a crossdresser he is a damn good one.
Maid Weapons: A pack of razor edged playing cards.
Personality: Carin is a hopeless romantic with many a failed relashonship in his past so he is looking for love and what better way than dressing as a woman and infiltrating a manor house as a maid?
Appearance: Carin is a very weedy man or very butch woman (depending on what he is wearing) but has shoulder length black hair sweeping across one eye. one of few men in the world who can pull off a light blue maid uniform with ease and trained in the art of wearing high heels. He can act gracious and alluring when needed but usually is lazy and slouches. Typical Male really.
Background: Carin was a street child in Zagreb at a young age making a living shining shoes and just scraping through until he stowed aboard a ship bound to asia. whilst spending the next 8 years of his life in kyoto he got employed as a waiter and had many failed romances over the years until he fell in love with a woman named Sakura Chise. Carins' typical two week whirlwind romance fololwed and at the end Sakura dropped the bombshell..... She had been engaged to the Yakuzan no.7 the whole time and needless to say he was pretty pissed off. So after much Alcohol and seven weeks of running he has ended up here. Mabye he'll be luckier this time?

[Andromeda]

Well we are up to three Maids now. So I don't see a problem with having a butler. Since this is sort about maids I wanted to make sure there were enough maids before making the other two available. While I'm not going to be holding to the letter of the game rules or anything. In their view the Butler is sort of the pillar of logic, normalcy and order. Butler in general do not create chaos, like the maids are allowed. They try to keep the household running smoothly. You don't answer to maids and they don't answer to you, but both answers to the master. The Head Maid naturally has a little authority over the other maids. Seeing this is a RP we'll still play around and have fun. I'll have to adjust my thoughts to account for a Butler.

I will have the Butler profile info up momentarily.

This is going to be interesting, hope this is ok for you.

Name: Autumn
Age: 10 years since production, appears 21
Gender: Female
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 230 lbs.
Hair Color: Green
Eye Color: Silver
Maid Uniform Color: Teal
Special Qualities: Android/Gynoid, Exaggerated Appearance, Malfunction, and Accessory
Maid Roots: Loyalty
Stress Explosion: Shopping
Maid Powers: Immune to Pain
Maid Type: Sexy
Maid Weapons: Internal Weapons
Personality: Ever since her malfunction, Autumn changed from a silent battle android to one full of expressions. After she was picked up by Yuki despite her malfunction, she was given hope and became loyal to her master. She is carefree and otherwise over-protective.
Appearance: Autmun stands at 5'"11, has long flowing green hair that see tucks over her shoulders, silver eyes, and an exaggerated womanly build. She wears a large, teal maid uniform with a choker/pendant as a part of her uniform.
Background: Autumn was originally a Chinese combat android but she suffered a permanent malfunction. She was later dumped somewhere in Japan deactivated, but was found by Yuki. He accepted her malfunction and took her with him. When she saw that Yuki was a wealthy businessman, Autumn decided to become one of his maids and also a guardian.

[T.G. Oskar]

Name: Alvarez (first name unknown...to the maids)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 120 lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Black
Butler Suit Color: White
Special Qualities: Quiet, Attractive, Shibui
Butler Roots: Loyalty
Butler Powers: Spanish Inquisition (always appears whenever least expected, but utters a rant afterwards)
Butler Type: Elite
Bulter Weapons: Cleaning Cloth
Personality: Alvarez is quiet and silent, rarely uttering a word when none is needed. While mistaken for shyness, he is actually eager to do his work, and remains on one place awaiting for the Master's orders, or whenever something seems out of place. His silent and cold demeanor, as befitting his butler training, may unnerve maids whenever they feel close, but Alvarez holds no bad feelings for the maids, though he feels unnerved with one of the maids and kinship towards another.
Appearance: Alvarez has medium length hair which he keeps straight with unusual amounts of gel, so much that the hair actually straightened and remains laid back. His eyes are piercing, but they turn dreamy to most girls when he briefly loses his stoic coolness and begins daydreaming. He looks like a preteen despite being nearly an adult, with slim yet toned arms and legs. He wears an exceedingly elegant tuxedo and barely remains out of it, tying his neck with a cord tie; a small badge with what seems is a family image holds the cord in place.
Background: Alvarez is the only one of a long and industrious family of loyal and experienced butlers from Spain. His family has served various rich families and even nobility; his father (incidentally also known as Alvarez) serves a wealthy Englishman since his youth and has remained in service for several years. It was his father who inspired him to become a butler, to which he took training under his parents until he became yet another of the experienced Alvarez family. However, in this age, few people were in need or looking for a butler, and most already had a butler for years; even his father couldn't aid him, and his still-living grandfather and great-uncles haven't relinquished service despite their age. Under despair, Alvarez attempted work at many places, but his butler talents were never what they expected, and he was thrown outside of every job he sought for. Desperate and disillusioned, he met the still-young Master Kitayama, and thrust himself into service. While at first his talent wasn't recognized, after hard months of attempting, he was given a position as butler. He is fiercely loyal to his young Master, and he attempts to excel in his job; despite how the maids can perceive this, the truth is that Alvarez is so thankful of his first chance and so willing to honor his family that he cannot bear to hear the Master suffer a terrible accident or threat that may end his still-young career.

[Andromeda]

Alright, looks like we got enough to get started. I'll be working on a post as soon as I have my current tasks dealt with. Sunday's a busy day for me. ^^; Anyway, so let's see we have a Sickly Lolita Maid, a Teenager Lolita Slave Maid, a Crossdressing Maid, an Android Maid and a Very Young Spanish Butler. Sounds like quite the household. ^^

Well it will be up to you to determine how long you have been working at the Kitayama Estates. Some of you may have been there for quite some time and so know each other and others may have only recently arrived. It's up to you.

The way things will end up working here will be a little different from the typical RP. As the master of the house, I will be handing out tasks for everyone. I may or may not be specific in who needs to do them. The important part is getting them done and pleasing the master of the house. How you get them done, well that is up to you and you can create any misfortune or crazy antics as you want. And while it is important to get task completed, failing at a task is just as necessary sometimes. So don't feel you have complete everything, no one is perfect and mistakes happen. The master won't fire you for mistakes. You'll just get stressed out and what not.

As I said tasks will be handed out by the master. Now this may be done verbally by Master Yuki or I may just say here what you need to do. And don't forget at any moment your normal daily chores can be interrupted by something random and terrible like I suggested before like the Master getting kidnapped by Ninjas and being ransomed. When that happens it'll be up to you to save the day. ^^ It's all part of being Maids.

There is no script or single way for anything to be done. So have fun, be creative or silly. And don't forget your anime. ^^;

The first task that I have will be pretty simple and Shadow will know it already. But it is a good opener. I'll give you more details later when the post is up. I also don't expect posts to be of great length. Please use the thread here to the fullest to plan out conversations, chores, events or whatever comes up.

[Sato Arashi]

All I got to say is this is going to be interesting despite I'm a guy (lol?).

[T.G. Oskar]

Although this may seem a bit of meta-gaming, I was already establishing a bit of relationship between characters. The Personality section has a small quip about Alvarez being unnerved by one of the maids and feeling kinship to another. This was based on some of the characters, as I feel that since Alvarez isn't a fully established butler yet, he doesn't work well with the maids but he isn't the strict bastard most of them are.

So, to clarify: the maid that unnerves him is Carin (whether "s/he" uses that name or not), but the exact reason can be worked. It doesn't have to be normal, just a quirk that something is wrong with "her", but not necessarily knowing the truth. Perhaps the personalities clash. Though, I feel that the unnerving comes from Carin's deep "admiration" of maids, which may throw Alvarez out of orbit.

As for the kinship, I'd say Aya. If only because they work in different ways; one escapes from indentured servitude, the other wishes to remain in indentured servitude for as long as possible. He may feel that the treatment of her former masters was incorrect, and that may run counter to the proud heritage of his family. In a sense, he sees in her the kind of master no one would desire to serve, and serve him as a reminder that he must push forward to remain as butler, or else find himself in the hands of a cruel master such as Aya did.

I don't expect this to affect the entry of the others (it can be worked in-game, after all), but just to make the oddball group a little less oddball.

As for reference, Hayate the Combat Butler. Full go.

[DJSanders23]

I accept MR Oscars terms and conditions about feeling unnerved around Carin and probably with good reason.
And of course I must thank Miss Andromeda for setting this RP up you have my gratitude and well let the madness begin.
In response to Mr Oscar I shall state that Carin took an instant dislike to Alvarez due to his effortless cool and ladies man charm making him the exact opposite of Carin and being all he can never be causing slight rifts every now and again from my part whether Mr Alvarez has the same feelings is up to you.

[Sato Arashi]

Even though it isn't in Autumn's profile (which I might add later), I want to establish the relationships if I may. I'll make this as simple as possible.

The one that unnerves her is Alvarez. To Autumn due to his quiet personality, he reminds her of her formal self as a combat android before her malfunction. She doesn't neccessarily hate Alvarez, he just unnerves her for the simple fact that she doesn't want to remember her past.

For the kinship, I actually see two, Victoria and Aya. As far as I've seen, the three of them are diagnosed with something that could've ended their carrer, but were given a new hope to continue on.

[Andromeda]

Alright, the post is up and the RP is a go now. ^^ I spent my time illustrating the mansion which had been previous vaguely talked about. Since we'll be spending a lot of time in it I figured I should go into a little detail about it. So I hope I painted a solid picture for you. If you have questions about the mansion let me know and I can fill in the blanks.

As you finish reading I make some vague description about the maids and butler's living arrangements. It is a very large place, and Master Yuki is extremely lazy and easy going. So he does not really care where you make your bedroom. You can even have a couple places. It's big enough, he does it. So he's not going to say you can't. In a vague sense the "proper" servants area is the north wing, but you can be anywhere. You can be next door to Master Yuki, he won't really mind. I suspect that Alvarez might take a room next to the master with his mind set. But that is for each of you to figure out.

As for the first task at hand. As I started in the post, one of the tasks is to wake up the young Master. Master Yuki needs to be woken up and pushed along into the shower. No you don't need to go in with him, unless you really want to. I'm not going to stop you and Master Yuki is pretty ambivalent about matters of his own body and such. He's been tended to by many servants in the past that bathed him, so he's not going to yell. Though he is also half asleep anyway, so he might not even notice.

The other tasks are as follows. Master Yuki needs a fresh clothes pulled out for him, keep in mind his taste and personality or he'll fight you. You can do it. I'm not going to tell you what you can't do, just how he'll react. So you can have as much fun as you want.

Breakfast also needs to be made for the Master. Being that Master Yuki has a very open policy about the hired help, it is perfectly normal if you want to eat with him. If you ate before that is fine as well. It's up to you decide, but fresh breakfast is need for him at the very least.

And the last his futon needs to be cleaned up and put away for the day.

These are all pretty simple tasks, but figure out who's doing what and go at it.

Ask any questions you have.

A recap of the tasks:

Master Yuki needs woken up.
Master Yuki needs to be coaxed into the shower/bathroom.
Master Yuki needs fresh clothes.
Master Yuki (and others possible) will need a fresh breakfast made.
Master Yuki's futon needs cleaned up and put away.

Enjoy!

[loner-kid]

I've yet to really do any social posting so i'd probably better start as the RP is already under way. Hmm as far as relationships go I think Aya's going to be just a little freaked out by anyone acting too nice to her, she's a little cynical and pessimistic about the whole thing. Out of all the people in the mansion she probably likes Alvarez the most, purely due to the fact that he as a butler distances himself from the maids.

[Andromeda]

Good heavens, ^^; Chaos certainly wakes up early. Glad to see that you guys aren't shy. Things will certainly be interesting. Points for a more inventive wake up method than I was expecting on the first day. ^^; While effective on some, Yuki will be surprised, but still pretty sleepy. He has a pretty relax attitude towards women, not that he doesn't like them, but he's not bloody nose over them either. He's a little away from neutral on the bloody nose side.

One thing to note. I'm very pleased by the activity and posting, but DJSanders please proof your posts before posting them. While I'm not going to be critical over grammar and what not, I noticed several spelling and grammar errors.

[Sato Arashi]

Hey, as long as it meets a PG-13 rating, it's ok to jump out of the box. For the simple fact that the rp is more of a harem, it does not stand to be a very mature rp.

[T.G. Oskar]

Well...the very concept is meant to be light-hearted. Harem anime doesn't has to be automatically mature: Tenchi Muyo and Love Hina are good examples.

Teasing is fine. And as good vaudeville, someone has to be the straight man. Which is the reason why I wanted to be the butler; he's the one where the jokes are usually pointed at, the one whom people laugh at. And in that way, I can form good comedy set-ups for the rest to develop, or at least to work around.

Still, the wake-up setting? Priceless!

[Sato Arashi]

Lol, I'd imagine you would say that Oscar. I gave Autumn the personality like Rangiku from Bleach, as she tends to do things that others that are normal wouldn't do.

[Victoria]

I was surprised to see that Autumn was there for seven years =P.
It would make sense, though. Although Vicky still knows more about Yuki than the other maids do. XD

[Andromeda]

I was going to post a little sooner, but well power got knocked out last night making it difficult to do much. So I finally made my post. Seeing how you will be running a lot of the things I don't expect I will be needed to make posts every other post. Especially since you are reacting to each other as well.

Anyway, the master of the house is wake. But still got things to do. Do as you please. ^^;

[loner-kid]

for anyone wondering about aya's ability to cook, or lack of, there isn't an explination it just happens. Waffles become omlets, omlets become honey loaf, and things that couldn't possibly melt do so frequently.

oh and oskar sorry for hitting Alvarez but Aya is very uncomfortable around naked guys, especially if she's not expecting it. Although this does give a chance for Ayas' special cooking to be served to the master.

[DJSanders23]

I shall proof read as of now Miss Andromeda and I am very sorry for any inconvienience yet in my defence I am very bad at spelling and shall pre-warn you of any further mistakes. Is there a limit on how many uses a power has in one day?

[Andromeda]

As long as you try and watch your work that is all I ask. In time you'll be able to pick up most mistakes and you'll find that you'll have improved without realizing it. It's a process.

As for powers, as long as you are using them with common sense in mind, I'm not going to put a limit on the number of uses.

[Andromeda]

I just wanted to nudge this a little. Remember you have tasks and one of them is to insure that the Master gets to the shower. You should be thinking of his well being and that he should be clean. The Master is still sleepy and tired and not really going to be move to quickly in a direction. I'm not going to make him pick to take a shower, since it is up you to complete that task, even if it is just pushing him and saying that he needs to do it. It needs to be done, once that happens I'll carry the rest.

[T.G. Oskar]

Silly me for acting so late. It's a tad hard when you don't have the muse along.

So yeah, I expanded a bit on the kinds of meats and cheese that Carin would have taken, trying to be a bit wary of personal tastes. Considering the character's Italian heritage, I assumed s(he) would focus on mostly Italian dishes (such as the ciabatta). I took some time to find appropriate dishes (and used the Wiki for that), and I focused mostly on cold cuts (ham and sausages). I also added carpaccio, which is raw meat served as an appetizer; it kinda fits when one of the best known Japanese foods is sashimi. But, again, that is an assumption. It's what he thinks, so if he misses or forgets or even mistakes something, it's to the choice of the food preparers.

Also, for the cabbage soup, I was half-tempted to call it wasabi. Perhaps it ends up as a herb omelette garnished with wasabi?

[loner-kid]

oscar, follow your heart on the melted cabbage and waffle-cum-omlete. Aya's cooking isn't supposed to make sense.
It's nice to see people posting again tho
