if you’ve been keeping up with some of my posts lately you know i’ve recently been working on what i’ve called the torque DLC, and i wanted to do some concept sketches for stuff. i’ll just copy the original pitch under the cut, but basically my idea is a sr1 DLC where you play as torque a few years before the actual events of sr1. here’s most of the major characters in it + some very messy concepts for torque’s apartment, which would obviously act as his base in the game. 

my new pitch for another sr1 DLC. takes place a few years pre-sr1, probably around 2003 or so. you play as torque (“the cooler”) essentially doing odd jobs against the backdrop of growing tensions within stilwater. the work includes: his typical bouncer job at TnA—this involves gameplay similar to what would’ve been in the cancelled “the cooler” game (the game itself would be in third person however i could see there being a first person/third person mode you could toggle for this gameplay specifically); doing hit jobs and similar for the lopez brothers, occasionally accompanied by victor; and general fetch quest type stuff for characters like al (the owner of TnA), anteros, and luz.  the game itself would have a much more down-to-earth and serious tone to match torque’s demeanor. the story would also almost exclusively take place at night since that’s when torque works. there would be a heavy emphasis on character relationships and how torque became so connected to this city and its people despite not actually being from the area originally. cameos would include the obvious and aforementioned carnales, luz, and anteros, but also a few smaller cameos by a rookie troy and tanya.

anyway it basically sets the stage for torque’s position in my canon. it introduces what would eventually become his longstanding friendship with luz, his dynamic with anteros, as well as how he is so intwined in stilwater itself. i have some more specific ideas for things like important story missions but i’ll cut myself off here. by all means feel free to ask me about it tho! i'm literally always happy to talk about torque and pre-sr1 stilwater LMAO

Imagine being one of the Saints grunts/wannabes when the Boss joined up. You’ve been with the crew for a while and Julius is finally ready to take the fight to the other gangs. Then this nobody shows up and ends up beating the tar out of the ones who were supposed to canonize them.

So whatever, Johnny kicked ass too. So what. They’re still on the same level as you. Hell, even below you because they just joined. You keep reminding them to step up and who they represent. Then you hear how they’re getting the gang rerspect from various pimps, dealers, hijackers and crime lords.

B-but whatever, they still need to prove themselves useful in the fight against the VKs, LC and WRs. And before your very eyes, this newbie overtakes you and becomes to the go-to person for Dex, Lin and Johnny because they get shit done. It doesn’t take long before they go from being #2 for the lieutenants to being Julius’ #2 and then finally, actually running the gang. All without saying a word.

This mute motherfucker literally appeared out of nowhere, took out the gangs and is now leading yours. And it scares you. You can’t tell what they’re feeling or thinking. their body count and trail of destruction speaks volumes. Gone is your bravado, replaced with fear and doubt of your place in the gang. You start kissing up to them because you know you’re fucked if they turn their sights on you.

Sound off, fellow Saints Row fans

With SR5 on Volition's main burner and slated for an info dump later this year, I figure this might be a good time to stir the fandom pot. How many of y'all would like to see/be part of an active RP server for the series?

This has been an idea I've been playing with for a while now, and I want to make sure there's an interest before I kick this off officially.

So! Anyone interested, sound off in the notes!

A few key points, to give y'all an idea what to expect:

-Paragraph style default/recommended. As a writer- and RP-scener myself, I find this style of RP the most satisfying and engaging. Multi-para isnt expected but equal effort will be, as a courtesy to all players.

-Multi-role/Multi-faction. The server will cater primarily to SR 1-3. IV will have its own little section if there’s enough demand, given it's more player vs aliens and not exactly faction-based. This means that you can stretch your legs into more than just the Saints. You want to roll with Los Carnales and fuck up some VK ops, or be a Luchadore and smack down some Saints? This is the place to really stretch your creative legs.

-Reward System. These are plans for the future, if and when the server really takes off, but how fucking satisfying would it be to see your OC rise through the ranks of their gang? Active (and sometimes ballsy) roleplay will net you attention from your superiors, with potential for promotion. With events, this means you can call the shots with your Boss (or, if you're particularly good, potentially take the mantle of Gang Boss for yourself).

-Social networking. Whether you're roleplaying or just hanging out in chat to gush about how much you love the games, this is meant to be a central hub for fans of the series. You're bound to make friends (even if you're real fuckin shy like me lmao), and that's the biggest plus to this server.

Rosa De la Cruz, Los Carnales Aestethic

Before she joined the Saints, she was a contracted assassin for Los Carnales, taking up odd jobs for them. When the gang was disbanded, her contract with the group was terminated, owing it all to Tommy, Lee and the Saints for getting rid of them. She worked with them from time to time, specifically Tommy and Lee as she would help them out with what they needed.
