Hey I got some RP ideas.

If you wanna do 'em vote and comment.

If you don't just let me down easy or I'll cry okay?

GENERAL NOTES:

  • Both RPs are urban fantasy. This means they take place in a setting equivalent to our Modern Day one, complete with technology and weaponry. Certain aspects will make these less viable, though, so fear of not being bulletproof is no reason not to give them a shot. (haha shooting pun)
  • I'm still not fond of being the admin of an RP, but I just can't help having all these ideas in my head. Anyone at all who wants to offer their help will be accepted, however in order to really help you would need to not care about spoilers, not abuse your metaknowledge, and be focused on making things fun and fair for everyone.
  • One RP is based on an existing story, the other is not. You do not need to be familiar with the story in order to participate.
  • Both RPs are intended to be rather short, but will end at what would normally be the end of "Chapter One" so they'll be capable of continuing if people want them to.


ARMS ALCHEMY

ACES


I got other ideas too if you don't like these.

I like ACES better because it reminds me a lot of A Certain Scientific Railgun. Though you should probably work on the initials for organizations, it's a little confusing.

ARMS ALCHEMY sounds rather vanilla/generic.

Was aiming more for Hunter X Hunter actually, with the similarities to the Hunter Exam and the Abilities being very similar to Nen, especially in the Rules they require.

Arms Alchemy is basically just a translated version of Buso Renkin, I figured it'd be accepted better that way instead of calling everything by the Japanese name. And Buso Renkin is generic, but it's generic done excellently. It never pretends it's deeper than it is, and it never tries to be anything it's not, and it has great powers, characters, and fights. I really recommend it if you haven't read it already. It's by the same guy that wrote RuroKen.

That makes the new tally as 3 for Aces, 2 for Alchemy, and 1 for neither. Would anyone who voted for Alchemy be willing to do Aces, or vice versa, if that option wins?

EDIT: And now one for the other ideas. Which would you like to hear:

  • An RP based on Tite Kubo's manga/anime Bleach, without all the stupidity that is Tite Kubo's actual writing.
  • An RP based on Okubo's manga/anime Soul Eater, which is also an application of my Pairing RP experiment, wherein RPers take the role of students at Death's Weapon Meister Academy and are sorted into Demon Weapons (people who can change into a weapon with varying abilities) and Meisters who wield the weapons in order to perform assassinations based on the Grim Reaper's Naughty or Nice list in a world straight out of Tim Burton's LSD visions.
  • An RP based on Fullmetal Alchemist which also uses alchemy, but a much more generally magic version.
  • An RP based on Jojo's Bizarre Adventure where we develop psychic powers that take form as fabulous muscly figures known as Stands and punch each other a lot and have incredibly complex mindgames.
  • A reboot of the Gryphon Wing Fairy Tail RP where we were all mages in a magic guild.
  • A reboot of my Knights of Logres RP, which was basically Game of Thrones the Animoo Version.
  • An RP based on Digimon, which again makes use of the Pairing RP, UNLESS you wanna go the route of just controlling your own partner/transforming into the digimon/being the digimon from the start.

Oh, hey, Gryphon Wing was fun. I don't mind that coming back around. Might use another character instead, though.

So currently we stand at 2 votes for Arms Alchemy and 4 votes for ACES, because of Kaze moving his vote. There is 1 vote each for hearing about the other ideas, and for none of the ideas at all. There's been 1 expression of interest in one of the other ideas, and 1 of the votes for Arms Alchemy has said they would consider joining ACES anyway.

So unless someone specifies which of the other ideas they'd like to hear more about, or more people vote to change the majority, we have 5 people who would at least consider joining ACES. I didn't ask if the people who voted for it would have also considered joining Arms Alchemy because that option wasn't in the lead, but 5/8 seems to me enough of a majority that I should at least start getting things ready.

Are there any comments, concerns, offers to be co-admin, etc?

Edit: I'd also be open to Knights of Logres. If we can cut out the whole Japanese island thing.

What about the primary two ideas of the poll?

I also support Knights of Logres. Or maybe another Silvarneen?

Silvarnen's failed too many times for me to bother attempting it again. Its whole gimmick, the weapons that change to suit the users, would be better executed through the RPs based on other things since they have better establishments/foundations for how the weapons and their transformations should work. For example, Arms Alchemy, Bleach, Soul Eater, those kinds of ideas I listed.

Anyway, I can only do one at a time, but I'll definitely keep everyone's suggestions in mind for the future.

I would be interested in Knights of Logres too- after all, I've been itching to find an excuse to reuse Jake after rereading the old CoH topics on gamefaqs a few months ago. I was originally planning on having used him for Veil but decided it would be more interesting going with my trickster like character instead since he got to play uncle for the Princess and whatnot.

Someone else voted for ACES it looks like, so although I see some of you are enthusiastic for a reboot of Knights, I think that's what we're going to go ahead with. Like I said, though, Aces is intended to be a "Chapter One and Done" kind of situation. If we like it, we can continue, or if it's not that great or if we just want to do something different for a little while to re-charge our creative batteries, I'll probably try Knights next.

Now, the Ability System as it currently stands will need a little bit of a re-rewrite, but for the most part everything will stay pretty much the same as it is in the rewritten version in the Experimental RP Ideas topic I made before. I think the biggest changes will be that Wood/Plants will be merged and Steam will be removed entirely. A few new combinations might be added but off the top of my head I'm not sure.

If you think the Ability System is too complex or hard to use, though, try this: Come up with a singular, succinctly defined "power" that can be used in a lot of ways, rather than individual spells/skills that all do different things. PM or Skype me about it, and I can help you sort out what Element, Type, etc it would all be.

Here's a character sheet.
