Ok, another idea for yet another RPG. This time it's a Negima, Suzumiya Haruhi, Fate/Stay Night (if you wish), School Rumble, AMG, Naruto, Ranma, Evangelion, Love Hina, Mai Hime, and anything else bordering on real life, crossover. i.e., it's a multiplayer SI fest. Time to make those SI dreams come true! :p

Ok, here's what it's about.

Where:

The story takes place at the TFF academy, based on Negima's Mahora Academy (cause it's big, beautiful, and stylish, as well as packed with insanity).


Accomodations:

There are a number of dormitories around where you could stay. One of them is the Hinata Sou, and, surprise surprise, you don't have to be a girl to stay (but it helps).

I'll add more to the setting later.

Who?
Races:
Human (mostly)
Elves (if you like)
God/Goddess (AMG or Kamichu style, try not to overdo it)
Angel
Demon (bird demon, fox demon, etc. anything goes)
Troll
Alien
Orc
Goblin
Idiot
Moron
Baka
Osaru (don't make me translate that)
vampire
werewolf
Anything you can think of


Class:
Student
Teacher
Mage, both eastern and western
Alchemist
Necromancer
Warrior
Runeweaver
Military-otaku
plain otaku
pervert
hentai
ecchi
yuri-kon
yaoi-kon
lolicon
shotacon
Anything your heart desires


Ok, the factions you can join in the game: (feel free to suggest more factions or NPCs)

Ok, big time field trip to Kyoto. Whether it was because you failed your Toudai exams, you want to run away from a love confession, or you just want to join in the fun, then come along.

School festival and Chao's campaign
Have fun, participate in the many cool activities or start your own, join in the martial arts competition, and ultimately join in the struggle between Negi and Chao.

Holy Grail War
It'll probably be ongoing. If you want to participate, please bring your servant with you. And no, you're not allowed to bring original FSN servants.

More to come later. Feel free to suggest more.

Why?
Cause it's fun.

How?
Registration:
Just register here. I'll announce when we're ready to begin the game. Oh, and don't forget to add your character's biodata, pic perhaps, and all that. Please use your forum name or a name based on it to make idenfication easier.

Rules:
Ok, rules are simple.
The game masters decide the events. What you do during those events are up to you.
When you write your segment, it must be a continuation or must be somehow linked to the previous segment left by the previous player.
Try not to insult anyone TOO MUCH. Killing other people is allowed but allow for plot devices to revive them. If you see a friend dead then please help and revive them.
This is NOT the lemon forum so no lemon, please.
If you want to hit on any of the NPCs, please do so with consideration. You don't want to make too many people jelous, off course.
Otherwise, it's pretty much freeform. Do what you like. It's the TFF academy after all.
If you want to suggest any new rules, go ahead.

That's all. If you have any questions, suggestions, etc, feel free to post them here. I'll address them as best I can. Thank you.

It might be better to focus on one thing at a time. I don't see a lot of those meshing well at the same time in the same campus.

The regular TFF is crazy enough; keeping track of all the NPCs from all those series will be difficult, as well as what everyone is/isn't and what everyone is doing.

For the kendo club, wouldn't Setsuna, Motoko and Tsuroko be suited as the NPC characters there?

This seems a bit TOO extensive. And the boardfic could just go on forever with different inserts focusing on different characters from various titles. It may be better to stick with one title per boardfic. Like how Darkscribes did the Evangelion vs. DS wars where the forumers had to deal with an irate Eva cast when they find out how they are portrayed in fanfics.

I dunno. I've never run any proper RPGs before. Why don't we just play it and see what happens? Might actually turn out ok, given the chance. Just see what happens.
 
#7
Cool. I was thinking that my character is an instructor in the "Junior Training Corps"

Name: David A. Abramczyk

Character Type: Human, apparently

Born: Auckland, New Zealand, on July 6th, 1975

Faction: Teacher

Class: Teacher, Military Otaku

He also plays a mean electric guitar, especially "Misirlou" (aka the theme to "Pulp Fiction").
 
#8
Why don't we do it just like the Mayhem at the TFF? Basically, we write continuations based on a previous player's story. Wouldn't that ensure continuity?

Well, I don't care how it turns out, I just want a shot at this game. I'm in.

Here's my profile:

Name: Aaron Melse Mithell (AMM for short)
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Race: Demon/human
class: Mage, student, otaku
factions: SOS-Dan, Kendo club....I'll join more later perhaps...
 
#9
True, I also agree that the multiple crossovers might pose a problem. It's just too broad. With all those NPCs running around....

But it's also true what AMM said. If we play it on a continuity basis, then it won't be too much of a problem. I mean, Mayhem at the TFF went ok, even though at times players would pull out obscure weapons or bring in unknown NPCs. Basically, the idea is, you try and manage.

As for who does what, it's the gamemaster's job to keep the story moving with everyone integrated in it. Just do it World of Darkness style, only with more narrators and players. Which means you're going to have to find more game masters, Zeni-chan.

Ok, I'm in, just for the sake of seeing where this goes. I'll submit my profile when more people join. Also, to make things easier, I suggest everyone uses their own forum name or something based on said forum name.

Ok, I amended the rules a bit based on what you suggested. The continuation rule is now in effect, which means your segment must be based on the previous segment left by the previous player.

Also, please use your forum name or a name based on it. I think AMM's name is....ok-ish. David's is fine too.

Ok, here's mine.

Name: Zeni Zackariya
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Race: human/vampire

factions: SOS-Dan, Kendo club, science society

Hm... You've never RPed before but you're trying to start a project this large? You'd have to have the devil's luck for it not to crash and burn before the first event is up ^^

I have one or two suggestions...

First of all, I really suggest limiting the player count to between five and eight. Especially for a first-time GM, you need less people, less chaos, etc. If you want to get others to run seperate games of the same at the same time, it's fine, but running an RP with this scope already with more than eight players equals unbelievable chaos. I've seen it quite often.

Secondly, I have to ask if you're thinking of this like an RP, where people post only their own characters actions, and maybe that of the NPCs, or like a round robin? The 'must post related to last post' rule seems to make me think the latter...

Excuse me if I have many and misconceptions, your seeming newbieness to RPs confuses the seasoned ^^;;

Sorry....I guess I did overdo it a bit. I guess it's the Round Robin type, more or less. But thanks for the suggestions. I guess I'll limit the players. But since there is a shortage of players at the moment anyway, I guess it isn't a problem.

And I guess I'll just start the game with the players I have now. If anyone wants to join half way, feel free to do so.

OK! HERE WE GO!
------------------------------------

It was another fine spring day at the TFF academy when the new semester started. Needless to say, many new transfer students and teachers have arrived at the TFF academy, some giddy with excitement at the prospect of a new beginning, some frustrated by said prospect, and some just couldn't care less.

Zeni Zackariya, also known as double Z or ZZ for short, found himself wondering about the new life awaiting him. TFF academy's spotless reputation and high-flying standards made it the best academy in the nation, and he couldn't help but feel intimidated by the fact as the school finally came into view through the train windows.

He already had in mind what he wanted to do. He would take part in as many student activities as possible and finally overcome his anti-social side. His days as a hikkomori otaku were over. This was it, the new beginning he had been waiting for.

Just then, a sneeze, followed by a strong gust of wind, raged through the carriage. ôHuh?ö Zeni looked around, only to see a carriage-full of raised skirts. ôwhoahà.ö Through the sudden nosebleed he spotted the one who sneezed, an auburn-haired young boy, about 9 or 10. ôHuhàhe couldnÆt have just sneezed andà.ö Suddenly, a slight jolt as the breaks went into action snapped him out of that particular train of thought. As the train slowed down he found himself pressed against the doors. ôHeeaghhàö


ôWe are now arriving at the TFF academy. Please make sure you have all you belongings with you before you disembark. Please watch your step as you leave the trainà.ö The cool voice said over the PA as the doors slowly slid open.


What happened next was nothing short of a stampede as Zeni found himself stomped on by a flurry of rushing feet. ôUghàö He looked up and saw a stampede of students and adults of all ages, all rushing out as a single human block out of the station. ôMy first dayà.ö


ôPlease be informed that this week is punctuality-awareness week. All late-comers will face the disciplinary committee. This message was brought to you by Okinawa Watermelons, TheyÆre BIGà.ö


ôOkà.and IÆm late tooàö Zeni looked down at his watch. He got up and started running. ôIf this will become a daily routine then I probably was better off being a hikkomoriàö He sighed as he pushed and shoved his way out of the station and into the Academy city streets where he finally found himself in a sea of students, all rushing up the street using every manner of transport in creation, from skateboards and hoverboards to gundams and entire summoned guardians.


ôNow I gotta get me one of those.ö Zeni nodded, before bringing his attention back to his current goal û making it to school on time.


Fortunately, his troubles were solved as a solution cameà.in the form of a speeding bike.


ôHi, IÆm Aaron, IÆm new here. People normally call me AMM. WhoÆre you?ö The biker asked, sliding open his visor and looking back at Zeni. ôWaità.you look familiaràö The bike, meanwhile, was still speeding down the packed street.


ôWàWATCH OUT!ö Zeni screamed pointing in front of them. AMM looked around just in time to see what it was.


ôAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!ö

"OI! Watch where you are going, you ruddy hooligans!" Mr. Abramczyk snapped, as he barely managed to get out of the way of the rampaging teenagers.

A word of advice... it would be best to create a separate thread solely for story posts so that people don't have to look all over the thread for story posts to maintain some cracked sense of continuity. That's how role-playing scenarios on forums work out at Darkscribes the last time I checked: One comment thread and one story thread.

My SI profile for future reference:

Name: Epsilon
Race: Alien disguised as Chinese human. Alien appearance is identical to the Code Masters of the Net portrayed in Season 2 of Reboot
Gender: Male
Class: Student, Planeswalker (magic abilities are based on Magic: The Gathering cards and so that would probably cover Mage and Necromancer at once... maybe even Alchemist too?), Warrior
Factions: Unknown (but I'll probably be dragged into the SOS-Dan by Suzumiya at the minimum)
Human appearance: Black hair, brown eyes, glasses, standard TFF academy uniform
Inventory: Staff (based on weapon used by Code Master) in subspace pocket. Staff has the ability to change itself into a perfect replica of whatever weapon is desired by the user and can duplicate whatever powers the original weapon may have. So if I wish to mimick Senbonzakura Kageyoshi or Sounga (from the third InuYasha movie), I can do so.

What was that?!

Legacy quickly pulled off his earphones and glanced behind him after hearing somebody scream. A pair of thoughts went through Legacy's head: either the volume on his iPod wasn't cranked loud enough, or it the pissed-off Phoenix Coyote fans were back.

The Calgary Flames fan thought about the latter for a moment. His favourite team did just beat them 6-3 on their home ice. It wouldn't be a surprise if they're pissed and if they were back to get Legacy after his long chain of taunts...

He then realized the source of the screaming was from a teacher located behind him. He then realized what the teacher was screaming at.

"Look out!" a student on the bike yelled.

Legacy quickly leapt out of the way, just missing the speeding bike. Sure, he was wearing his #3 Dion Phaneuf jersey today and that would have made him feel like the monsterous Calgary defenseman, but getting injured even before the season - correction - schoolyear, started just wouldn't be a good idea.

Getting back up, Legacy resumed course. He put his earphones back into his ears and continued, quietly following along with "In Da Dome" as he walked.

True. Ok, I'll do that. This thread will be the game's comment thread and I'll start off a new story thread. Thanks for the suggestion!

EDIT: Ok, Epsilon has already done it for us. Thanks. Ok people, it's moving time.

I'm going to have to agree with Epsilon. It's a lot better to keep a story thread and a comment thread separate; it keeps the flow from being ruined too often. It's how most RPs run, not just on Darkscribes. It would be just easier to use the one Epsilon created.

Unfortunately for the world, the Holy Grail granted the wish by fusing together many parallel universes together, and the result is what you have here.

Unfortunately, I'll be leaving for a couple of days and I'm not sure there'll be an internet connection where I'm going. So feel free to continue the game while I'm gone.

I'll be looking forwards to seeing what kind of insanity you guys cook up.

It's pretty much a battle between magicians on who would be granted a wish from the Holy Grail. Look it up on Wikipedia or Answers.com since they usually provide fairly accurate info about this stuff.

So, tell me, if I was to get involved in this, possibly by accident, what servant do you think I'd be most likely to have, going by what I've written, and the manga/anime of Fate/Stay Night?
