Rag-tag Hope-Discussion

[Shaderic]

Okay, this is the new discussion thread for the KH-End of the World Rp.

Some material to get us started...
My guy's new profile!

Name:Shaderic
Equipment:
1x ABU set, Airman rank, Name tape says SVELDT
ABU cap, boots, M-16, bayonet, and two magazines.

Stats
Phys ATK- Medium (M-16)
DEF- low (ABU+)
Meg ATK- N/A
DEF- High (ABU+)
Agi 7 -Military Training

Skills:
Sharp Shooter (lv1) (Military Training)

This is only a basic build, but it tells you some basics about my guy. ABU's are Airman Battle Uniforms. Look them up. Basicaly, they're camo-clothes, except cooler, slightly more flame resistant, and have some other neat tricks worked into them.

Now, to explain this system a bit more...
I call this stat system, the 'Justification System', because everything you get needs to be justified.

Most of the stuff is self explanatory, except for the Agi stat. That's agility. Now, that's not ninja skills, or your ability to dodge. That's how well you can navigate difficult terrain. Me? I've gone mountain climbing, gotten through BMT, and gotten myself into and out of all sorts of crazy places. Seven's a pretty good number. Anything higher, and ninja skills are required. Let's call five what your average joe is capable of. 10 would be the ability to run straight up vertical walls. It's an aproximation, and this is a stat I made up just to throw a curveball into the proceedings.

You don't have to use this system, but if you did, I've made some plans... Well, they mostly consist of Agi checks to split up the group. But if you know what you're doing, those can be played around.


But, enough about that. Let's get the talking rolling from the other thread to here, shall we?

 

[shibosho]

This system seems....interesting.

So are the items we bring with us when the world ends going to go through the transmogrification thing like before or do they stay the same?

[zedalb]

When are we starting and is it going to be on this thread?

 

[shibosho]

When are we starting and is it going to be on this thread?

Dude, this is the discussion thread. A new thread will be made for the in-character posting.

 

[Shaderic]

Ok...
This all looks good, with the exception of Zedalb and Dr. Tempo.

With you Zedalb, it's just that you have a bit much in the weapons department, and that you want to train with Ryu. He's outside the reach of the KH-verse, last I checked, and it would be a little bit unbelievable for him to train you... or at least that's what it seems like to me. I've never played Ninja Gaiden, but I don't think ninja's go and train random people from other worlds.

Also, your spelling is fine, but your grammar could use a little bit of work.



As for Tempo... Dude, no way in hell am I letting DBZ in this setting if I can help it. Your Bleach idea is gettin' the boot because I want people to try and be original here. Or at least somewhat innovative. Instantly becoming a Soul Reaper, and getting a Zanpakutou... Doesn't qualify. Now, training under Herc'.... That, I'll let fly. Just remember, you don't have godly strength. Unless you can somehow earn divinity or some weird thing like that. Good luck with that.

Now, Sorry for people who want to get this thing rolling quick, but I want to have some steady access for when the ball does get rolling, and that means waiting until I get my laptop on the 20th.

Add to that, there's some details I want ironed out before we start. Like... is there anything in particular people want to see in this round? Let me know what kind of events people want to see, and I might just make arrangements.

And where do want this to go? Do we just want to play 'Survive' until Sora does his thing, and restores Earth, or do we want to get on the offensive?

Do we want to keep some of the mechanics from the last RP, or do we want to go straight up and make up some new stuff? I personaly liked the G-space concepts that we used, as well as the magic concepts.

 

[shibosho]

I'd rather go on the offensive. Also what are the general mechanics of G-space and Magic that were thought up in EotW?

Also, no one answered my question of our stuff being transmogrified.

 

[Aarik]

I think we should... Avoid Anime, Manga and Non KH attached Video Games (Disney and Square, or maybe just Disney and FF, and they made it pretty clear that the FF people are NOT the FF canon versions, they are VISITOR's, whatever that means.).

When we got to them last time... well Muse either quit or started a sideplot that took so long to resolve that he got bored and forgot/quit the game, NGD EXPLODED in the Naruto world, he erased a mountain with one attack and kicked Killer Bees ass, and Watashiwa went nut's and destroyed the Negima world just because of the possibility of it being there.

They just bring to much BS power with them, like Dr Tempo and Zedal are trying to use to GodMod/MinMax themselves on.

Also no Incredibly convoluted plot's that SuperUberGodMod your Character's, Sidhe apparently becoming Satan's lover and then EFFORTLESSLY OVERPOWERING HIM AND THE ENTIRE REALM OF DARKNESS WITH ONE ATTACK, kinda killed the story immersion ya'know.

Also, Zedal, Your grammar reminds me of the Cosmonaut from Armageddon, it's actually kind of hilarious because I here his voice in my head when I read your posts now.

Which Profile am I using? The first Seems kind of useless... Infact I think I have the lowest in almost ALL stat's. And what I don't take as the lowest I tie.

 

[sidhereelmotion]

My name is spoken, and I appear!

And now the secrets of what actually happened can be revealed:

At some point after her capture by the Nobodies, Sidhe became a GMPC.
The Nobodies used a form of what in KH proper would have been used on Sora/Roxas to rewrite her identity and make a puppet they could control. Some of the effects could be clearly seen in the entries. Everything from that point on was part or preparation for a ritual attack against the ruler of the Castle of Nightmares --- Prince Charming's Self. The fasting and ritual cleansing. The lessons. Everything. The stagecoach to the ball. The mistake of the petrified Fairy Godmother (who Sidhe had met as the Castle of Dreams was falling to Shadow) to give Sidhe the slippers(I think? If not some other clothes item). The Nobodies (Court of.. etc) forged a Princess. Specifically Princess Cinderella. (The names used were a big giveaway).

Up to the point of arriving at the Castle of Nightmares, it would have been possible for the other players to save Sidhe. In any case, the Nobodies had a backup plan in the form of Sidhe's companion (who bears a slight resemblance to Namine of the KH games). After the arrival (under invitation) and the challenge, things proceeded under the rules of a Fairy Challenge (The Castle of Dreams being a fairy kingdom with fairy godmothers, even fallen, it was subject to the laws of fairy magic.) The Challenge (operating on threes, IIRC) was something that the Sidhe-puppet had no chance of winning with brute force or direct magic. Rather, she was made to rekindle within the Shadow Prince, the memories and emotions that he once held for Cinderella. After the Prince ceded the Kingdom and his spirit left to find the true Cinderella (captive in Hollow Bastion), the Nobodies concluded the ritual, merging the Castle of Dreams with the Nobodies' castle (with bits stolen from Utena, Eyrie Productions?, and maybe the Akatsuki).

It was less a battle than an evil NPC vs antagonistic NPC cutscene.

Thus concludes the Tale of the Stolen Kingdom and I shall disappear into the mists again.

Baibai~

 

[Shaderic]

Yeah, let's avoid the power-gaming.

Now, as for going on the offensive, I'd like to try and avoid using a keyblade. I'm thinking that we'll probably work on survival and gathering information for the longest time. Spend some of that leveling too, so we can at least start to make a good stand.

We should also probably try and stick to KH canon. I don't know anything about CoM, so for about a 'year' once we clear the 'game' we'll have some leeway to do whatever the heck we please, and muck about with some memory loss.

We'll be starting this up next weekend, assuming all goes well, so does anyone have any suggestions?

I'm going to play as though it's not christmas, because that means I'll be at my base, and that opens up options. Do we have anybody who wants to play as though it was christmas?

But, moving on, I'm with Aarik on avoiding Anime and Manga. But, I want to stop by the TWEWY world, so do you guys mind if we keep some Square Enix stuff in the game?

But, a quick note on the stats... They're just guidelines, Aarik. You can play around them. The point of the justification system, is that you have to justify your stuff. You have shuriken? Cool. Can you throw them? Can you shoot your gun? Do you know how to use your sword? Do you even have a good sword?

That's the basis of justification. It requires some honesty from the player, but that honesty also brings experience and flavor.

EDIT
Sidhe!?!?!
I thought you were dead!

 

[DrTempo]

OK..I figured the Coliseum was gonna be the one picked.....

I guess in terms of G-space affecting us, it could be like last time.

I don't mind keeping some Square Enix stuff..that's fine by me.

And as for Chain of Memories?
Someone order a Wikia page?

 

[shibosho]

Square Enix worlds are okay, well some of them anyways. That give me a couple of ideas though.

So first we survive and gather intel then after Sora and CO lock away kingdom hearts, we get more creative. Is that correct?

I don't care about Christmas much these days.

I've played KH 1, 2, COM, and working my way through 358/2 days, so I have a general idea of how canon goes, give or take some details and all.

 

[Aarik]

Sidhe, NONE OF THAT, made ANY sense at all. You can't Make a Princess of Heart, Their are exactly 7 and you have to be born one, at least, that's what's implied, since Kairi was still one when she was six.

Plus, us saving you from the THIRTEENTH ORDER, was kind of... IMPOSSIBLE, ANY ONE OF THEM WOULD HAVE ASS RAPED ALL OF US AT ONCE, SIDEWAYS.

Hell a couple Nobodies would tear us a new one, 15 Dusks would have rendered us half dead by themselves, and as Axel demonstrated, one Organization Thirteen member is worth literally THOUSANDS of Dusks, he cleared the ENTIRETY of the Corridors of Darkness so COMPLETELY that NOTHING was left (forgive the pun.), with one attack, it killed him, sure, but it would have ANNIHILATED US TO, at 1/100th power.

It's like sending a bunch of level 3-5 character's on a quest to defeat 13 Epic level 20-50 character's, who can summon Tarrasque's at will. And giving them a time limit. A SHORT time limit.

EDIT: Just for the GM, Organization Thirteen has a rough power tear, what I know of it below from strongest to weakest.

1: Xemnas(100% Canon)
2: Roxas(100% Canon, it's implied he only lost to Riku because he had already beaten Riku and Riku got full healed by going Darkness on him, plus Riku ganked him in the back while he was walking away.)
3: Xaldin(100% Canon, there was an interview or something like that, it's pretty much accepted as true now)
4: Marluxia(Kind of Canon)
5: Saix(Pretty much Canon)
6: Axel(Only Saix and people higher on the list then Saix ever really worried him.)
...
12: Luxord?(He claimed to not be good at actually fighting, but Demyx stated himself as the weakest more then once, so...)
13: Demyx(100% Canon, outright state's it as fact repeatedly, the only reason his fight's are hard at all is because of the time limit, for Sora anyway, those water clones would most likely be an actual threat to us.)

 

[sidhereelmotion]

Aarik, a few things to remember:
1. That wasn't making a Princess of the (Kingdom)Heart(s) (those were still stuck at Hollow Bastion).
That was making a Princess of a Kingdom (first making a princess, then taking the kingdom from the ruling (fallen) prince). With all the kingdoms, it's trivial to see that not every princess is a Princess of Heart.

2. When straightforward action will not suffice, either cleverness and courage or just plain sneakiness will suffice. Recovering Sidhe would not be the same as destroying the Court of Thirteen. Even if it failed it would have provided plot points as to what the GM could do next.

3. Nobodies already had been destroyed by the end of the attack at Tia Dalma's.

4. Most of this stuff was actually run by the GM in one form or another prior to posting.

5. Most Important: Characters and organizations in EOTW were not the same as game canon. Power levels may have been different. Motivations were different. Events diverged pretty much near the very start. There were no keyblades on any of the three active sides. And all three sides were active at once. While the setting for certain areas (Castle of Dreams) was briefly touched upon, little of its KH canon was used.

 

[GhostElder]

First: Sidhe! You're alive! *hug*

Second:

Now, Sorry for people who want to get this thing rolling quick, but I want to have some steady access for when the ball does get rolling, and that means waiting until I get my laptop on the 20th.

Add to that, there's some details I want ironed out before we start. Like... is there anything in particular people want to see in this round? Let me know what kind of events people want to see, and I might just make arrangements.

And where do want this to go? Do we just want to play 'Survive' until Sora does his thing, and restores Earth, or do we want to get on the offensive?

Do we want to keep some of the mechanics from the last RP, or do we want to go straight up and make up some new stuff? I personaly liked the G-space concepts that we used, as well as the magic concepts.

Where to go, well that depends on how much information we have at the time. First of all survival is paramount, we can't really get started on much unless we're able to take care of ourselves.

If we don't know about the keyblade, my vote would be to try and help where we can, getting people off of worlds when they're collapsing get better at fighting heartless and protect the safe areas.

If we do know... well I'd say we give as much support to the keybearer as possible, send some our better fighters with him while the rest of us set up a support base that they can come back to and easily resupply from. I wouldn't like it that we're sending a kid chosen one out, but I will make sure he has all the support I can give him.

 

[Aarik]

... If their were no Keyblade's...

What was Roxas wielding? Their kind of in the Epithet, Roxas: The Keys of Destiny.

If someone mentions his joke weapon I'm gonna bust a gut, the fact he could still kick our asses with them not withstanding. (Umbrella's)

And out of all of us(TFFer's) that where there, only about 2 or 3 actually fought, and they DID almost die, we had to run pretty quick after you got snatched because we had, to use a metaphor, run face first into a brick wall, then tried to break it by throwing paper at it, it didn't work.

Also where are you getting the word Court from, they aren't Elves, of the translation's of the original name I've heard of, none of them use the word Court. The three I'm most familiar with are, Organization Thirteen, The Thirteenth Order, and extremely rarely, The Order of Thirteen, but I've never heard Court of Thirteen before.

 

[Latewave]

Court was one of the changes Shaderic Came up with. We just rolled with it.

 

[Aarik]

So Organization Thirteen are Fey now, Got it. They ALL need to DIE then, I have NEVER heard ANYTHING about the Fey that didn't make them out as Horrible Heartless Monsters?* that all deserve to die a slow and agonizing death and need to cease existing for the good of everyone and everything else.

I wonder if it's possible to cause an atomic explosion by splitting (Cold) Iron atoms... That would show the Bastards... The light and sound of the explosion would kill a few of them all by itself...

*Yes the Fey have TRADEMARKED being Horrible Heartless Monsters?

 

[sidhereelmotion]

I was going to comment about the Court being Xanatos-gambit wielding powerscavengers taking whatever they can get, but then I realized something. I was trying to have a discussion with someone who I don't think I have gamed with about things that were pretty much before his time. So I really need not bother.

I wish you luck in making Rag-tag the game you desire.

PS. Hi Shaderic and GhostElder!
