  • A few ideas for mind control RPs


    I've been wanting to do something hypnosis or mind control oriented for a while. There's a wide variety of ways that this could come about with a number of different ideas I have. Ideally, I would like to play the (male) central character, and my partner, depending on their preferences, could play one or multiple (female) characters.
    [Note: Don't care what you identify as IRL as long as you're willing to play female characters and a re decent at RP]
    [Note: I'm fine if we want our characters to be normal people, kemonomimi, furries, or any mix of them]
    [Note: Everything is going to be listed here from the perspective of me playing a central male character and interacting with female character(s). However, I would be fine doing a reverse harem sort of thing with the central character being a girl. If it's with a central male, I'd like to play the male. If it's with a central female, I'd be willing to play either the central female or the male ensemble.]

    This post has three major parts to it. The plots, which are more like general notions our outlines than specific stories, though for a couple I do have some more specific ideas, but I'm also largely open to hearing other's thoughts on these. The methods, which is basically "what process is the main character using to do this" and I've got three broad categories that can fit a number of different flavors and options. And lastly, Styles, which are just some thoughts that always end up coming to me after the RP starts and would be easier to hammer out how it all works before hand. If you don't want to dig through all of it, check the TLDR at the bottom.

    Hypnosis Plots

    • The Professional
      • Pretty standard stuff. Professional hypnotist/hypnotherapist takes advantage of their position. Could just be a pervy guy, could be that there was some catalyst that lead to him suddenly becoming like this (long time partner left, died, cheated on him, got fired from his 'real' job and went this full time, or just a perv through and through). Different way we can set up characters for this:
        • Single repeat client: Guy either only does this for one woman, or at the very least only does the naughty stuff with the one woman and that's what the RP is focused on. Good if you prefer to really get into one character. Can start this way and branch into more characters if you like.
        • Multiple one-time clients: If you like playing lots of characters or have a lot of ideas you want to cycle through, this would fit great. Basically, he rarely has repeat business and just works on different people.
        • Multiple repeat clients: If you've got a few characters/ideas that you want to stick with, this works well. Guy probably makes small changes slowly over time and experiments differently on different clients. Can be mixed with the above.
        • Family hypnotherapist: Guy specifically does hypnosis for a rich family. Mainly would revolve around the mother and however many daughters there would be. Possible to also include an aunt(s) and/or cousin(s). Would also do some hypnosis on the father, though it would be more just to manipulate him into more pay/time with the family, and making him either not care about the guy fooling around with his family (if you just want to have the dad not be around much), make him not notice/mentally block it (if you're into free use sort of stuff), or not change what his normal reaction would be, but make him unable to do anything about it (if you're into cuckold stuff). I'm fine playing this character (if you want them to interact more with your characters) or letting you play them (if you want him to interact with the hypnotist more).
      • The Father. A variant on the professional single client, but I decided to separate this due to it being an incest focused idea. If you're not interested in incest, feel free to skip over this one entirely. The idea is, essentially, there's a hypnotherapist whose wife passes away. Not only is this hard on him, but his daughter is practically inconsolable. His wife never let him do hypnosis on the daughter before but... well, she wasn't around now, and she needed something to help her out, right? So dad offers her some hypnotherapy to help settle her down so she can start accepting what happened and live her life. Except... this guy has always had a theory that he'd never been able to actually test out. Tthere are two factors that make hypnosis drastically more or less successful, even more than just belief that it works, which most people think is the primary factor. The first is trust - he believed that you could more easily hypnotize a skeptic that trusted in you than a believer who was suspicious of you. The second is suggestibility - the more malleable someone's mind and personality were, the easier it would be to push the limits of what would work under hypnosis. And here's his daughter, who trusts her father with her life, whose practically a blank canvas when it comes to worldly experience, and even more beautiful than her mother in her prime... he just had to test what his hypnotism could do to its limits, right? It would be academically irresponsible not to experiment.
    • The Amateur. Someone that is just learning hypnotism, does it as a hobby, or just came across a mind control/hypnosis device altogether. The amateur's big differences compared to the professional:
      • Age differences. The professional is going to be on the older side, probably in 30s but could range anywhere from late 20s to 50s, depending on your preference. The amateur could be a high school student, a college student, or an adult at any age that the professional could be.
      • Target differences. The professional is mostly going to be going for people he doesn't really know outside of professionally, or doesn't really know at all. The amateur is more likely to be targeting people they know. Family is an option if you were interested in going that route, outside of that it could be friends, neighbors, class mates, bullies, rivals, teachers, professors, coworkers, bosses, employees, just random people he meets depending on the method. Speaking of which,
      • Method. The professional is basically going to have the one method (traditional hypnosis) though the style could be different. Will go into it in more detail below but basically it's hypnosis, device, and ritual. If you were more interested in something more mind control oriented than just hypnosis, this would be a good option.
      • Personality. The professional is being incredibly deliberate. Whether they're a sinister control freak that gets off on manipulating people, or just a perv that wants satisfaction, they're going to have a similar personality type. The amateur could have that as well as any number of other personality types - meek, meek and pushed past the edge, chill, nerdy and opportunist, etc.

    Hypnosis Methods

    There are three main ones: Traditional, device, and ritual.

    1. Traditional. There's not a whole lot to explain here. Traditional hypnosis is when they're relaxed, eyes closed or following a pendant or something like that. The hypnotizer gradually lulls them into the state of hypnosis. The big thing about this one is that the target knows they're being hypnotized. So this one has the potential for drama if someone figures out they're being altered, or someone else notices their changes. Though it could just be used because it's the most common.
    2. Device. There are a number of ways this can be done. The device could be magical in nature, or it could be more sci-fi. It could be the neuralizer from Men in Black, it could be some trinket or jewelry that activates with a gesture, interaction, or keyword. It can even be more abstract - the "device" is basically a portable way of instantly affect someone. It could be a chemical, it could be a spell, it could be that they have magic eyes and stare into people's souls. Usually the device results in them trancing kind of like you would with hypnosis but they are instantly put in and out of it with the device without their knowledge.
    3. Ritual. Again, it can be more abstract, but the idea is that the target is being affected remotely where he can't immediately see the effects of it. The base of the idea is that the guy would use a ritual spell at night to alter the target in some way (see styles below) but he wouldn't know how well it would take until he got to interact with them. It doesn't necessarily have to be magic, it could be something like a chemical he makes and slips them if you wanted to go more sci-fi, or even send them a "hypnosis video" on their phone or to their email that they watch, get 'reprogrammed' and then delete. This is the best if you want to go for a more story/drama/character driven RP that focuses a little less on the smut because it requires the changes to happen further apart.

    Mind Control Styles

    So there are a few different ways that mind control and hypnosis have a tendency to work. I'm just going to list out different styles and traits instead of trying to keep it more distinct and separate like the above because some of it mixes and matches and some doesn't.

    • Time to take effect. This can either be an immediate or a gradual thing, which are kind of relative to the method. It could be immediate, basically noticeable right away, or gradual, taking more time and slowly shifting over. Something like, changing how they view a person, or some concept, or getting them to dress differently, etc. It would be right after the trance ends for Hypnosis and Device and the following day when they meet again for Ritual. Gradual, on the other hand, would mean it would take place over hours or even days and there would be a shift towards the change rather than a switch to it.
    • Limits of control. Basically, is there full control? Can he get someone to do something out of their nature or would their psyche resist? Would they ignore it, push back on it, would it break the control altogether?
    • Working as intended. Does the mind control work as he wills it to, or does the wording and the perspective of the other person matter? Does the target follow what he "meant" or just what he literally said?
    • Attitude adjustments. This has a bit to do with Limits of Control. If he's got significant control and he commands someone against what they'd normally do, do they change perspective, rationalize it, or would they just be compelled to do it? Say he commanded someone that didn't really like him (boss, coworker, school bully, whatever) to blow him. Would this make them think he's not really so bad after all so here let me do this as an apology? Would they rationalize it as somehow her coming out on top and putting him in his place? Or would she just end up going down on him and sort of protest as she did so, body unable to resist?
    • Command Words. Does he have pretty good free reign on what he can do to them, or can he only make them act a certain way based on triggers? This would be a potential way to limit his control, and would work very well if the mind control power was spell-based magic.
    • Extra magic. This in particular involves if we go with a more magic or spell oriented mind control thing. I'd be willing to have it be part of a larger idea where the central character finds a magic book or learns magic somehow. I'd still like the mind control to be a major central component but I'm fine introducing other sorts of magic like body modification and other powers.

     

    TLDR: Want to do an RP with hypnosis. Have lots of different ideas about it. If you skimmed over or skipped the above and jumped down here, I'm guessing you've got some interest in this but already have an idea in mind. This is perfectly fine, just EcchiText me or comment here with your idea and we'll work something out. If you didn't skim or skip, then Text or comment with whichever ideas stuck out to you and we can figure out what will work best for us.

    Apologies for the family hypotherapist and especially "The Father" being such big blocks of dense text, I don't really know how to format those to be more readable while keeping it as a list.
