Role play ideas

Twisted Metal Black

You are in a padded cell. Why are you there?  What did you do to end up in there, or what didn't you do?  You've been in this asylum for five long years. What do you keep thinking about?  What is giving you the energy to keep going?  One day you get a visitor, his name is Calypso. He says he runs some kind of contest. It involves cars and you killing each other. You can use missiles, bombs, land mines and machine guns. He says if you win, he will grant you your wish that you so desperately desired.  You take his offer, he gets you out and gets you a car, truck, van, or motorcycle of your desire.

About halfway through the contest you defeat a big boss. You are so tired from the combat you pass out.  Your past before you end up in the asylum comes rushing back into your head. How you ended up in the asylum plays out. Now you are more motivated to win.

You won the contest. You go see Calypso and ask to clam your prize. He smiles and takes you to your prize.  Do you get the revenge you always wanted, do you get your memory back, do you get the truth or do you get a do over?  Is this the wish you wanted, or was there a caught to it?  Calypso says after you clam your prize "Thank you for playing Twisted Metal."

Here is a story idea that I did.

I was sent to the asylum for murdering my wife and my unborn child. My wife was stabbed in the stomach fifthteen times. Then her neck was sliced open, and she bled out.  The messed up part about this whole thing is I'm innocent. I didn't kill her, I came home from work and found her dead on the floor.  Just before the cops came in, I found a note next to her body. The note said "I won. Ha ha ha".  I've been inside this place for five years. While he was still out there. Then one day, I got a visitor. He said his name was Calypso. He said he ran some kind of contest.  I told him to get lost.  He then said, "I can deliver the man who took away your family."  I turned and looked at him.

"How do you know about my family?" I asked. He smiled

"I can deliver. All you have to do is win.  If you agree to play, I can set you free from here and even give you a car to drive." He said. I looked at him with desperate eyes.

"How could I refuse?" I tell him. I walk with him down the hall to the back of the building. I get outside and see a truck with machine guns on the hood of the car and missiles on the side of the car.  I hop in and start her up. I smile and drive off away from that hell hole.

Halfway through the contest.  I defeat Minion, last years winner.  His tanker truck blow up.  I passed out in the truck. I haven't slept good for a while.  I started to dream.

I remember me and my best friend Steven. We always tried to out do each other, no matter what it was. Whenever one of us won, we would always say "I won. Ha Ha Ha". The only thing he couldn't out do me on was love. I found the love of my life. She was everything I was looking for in a woman. Steve and I tried to get her to date us, but she only had eyes for me. When I asked her, she said yes to me. I looked at him and asked him to be my best man. Years had passed and she told me that I was going to be a father. I was the happiest man alive.  I told Steven and he sounded thrilled. Only to come and find out, he was angry. He wanted to beat me at having a child first, but I beat him again. I guess he decided that if he couldn't have a wife and child, then I shouldn't have them ether. That night came and Steven came to the house.  He attacked her and my child.  He took my whole life away from me. I know killing him won't bring them back, but I will be happy to watch him suffer as I have. 

I woke up and went on with the contest.

The contest was over. I went to Calypso and asked for my prize. He smiled at me.

"Follow me." He told me. He took me to abandoned hospital.  I remember this hospital. It's the hospital that my wife had her first ultrasound.  He takes me to an operating room and on the table in front of me laying down, tied up and gagged, was Steven.  He was wiggling trying to get free. Steven looks over at me and I see the fear in his eyes. I walked up to the table, looked down at him and whispered "I won, Ha ha ha." I turn and see some tools. I smile as I grab the pliers.

A/n: I know this is dark, but that's what Twisted Metal is.  I hope you find inspiration.
