TFF RPGs, Restart Series... GO!
Ze Plot:
OST: Fate/Stay Night Remix - Unfading Thoughts
It is A.D. 3,149, during the Dark Age of the Internets. In a stunning display of audacity, cunning, and sheer evil manipulation, a large force of Yaoist fanatics, the elite wing of that plague-spreading empire of Yaoi, whose holdings include more than 2/3rds of the worlds along the Internet multiverse, including substantial parts of FF.Net, Fictionpress, and, even, a foothold in the surreal world of 4chan, smashed through the defenses of TFF Academy City, an Internet-renowned hub of fanfiction trade and commerce, along with several other large enterprises and markets, in a lightning raid, razing the TFF Internet Trading Center to the ground and heavily damaging the Government Tower, the administrative building also known as the home of the mysteriously absent Lord Hawk. Before a city-wide alarm could even be sounded, the Yaoists were already falling back, damage done, along with a large number of hostages, including many prominent personalities, such as the Obnoxious Goddess Haruhi, Rin Tohsaka, Lelouch and Nunnally vi Britannia, many renowned fanfiction authors, and even Zeni and her sister Eterna, heroines of past wars against Yaoi. Meanwhile, with Lord Hawk absent, the government was thrown into complete disarray.
Then, as the city descended into panic, the last Yaoist ship to retreat, the massive flagship Cassandra the Great, dropped one last gift upon the city in the form of a gigantic antimatter-fueled F.R.E.Y.A. bomb. Fortunately, by this point the more powerful inhabitants of the city had been sufficiently roused, and this allowed for the deployment of a tactical emergency shield fueled by redirecting the city's entire energy grid into it. The shield was then used to surround the bomb's surface area just as it went off, preventing all damage from the explosion. But even this shield could not stop the gigantic, blunt-force shockwave generated by the contained explosion, which, when unleashed, caused disastrous damage to the outskirts of the city.
And thus the fangirls faded into the darkness, leaving behind a TFF Academy City that was broken and in disarray.
Barely a day after the event, the remnants of the Government convened.
Such an atrocity, it was decided, could not go unpunished.
However, what could be done? Even at its strongest, TFF was in no position to launch a war against the massive Empire of Yaoi. What could be done now, with most of its industrial base left in shambles, its fanfic production ruined? Even if all the admittedly quite powerful individuals that roamed TFF's streets, including those that had fought in previous wars with the Yaoists, could be assembled into a proper fighting force, they could never hope to match the sheer size of the Empire.
And yet something had to be done. The hostages had to be rescued. An eye had to be taken for the eye that had been so violently ripped off the face of TFF.
And then came the bright idea. Just as the fangirls had come to realize the futility of a direct military invasion with conventional armies and had attacked TFF in a lightning-quick terrorist raid, so would TFF do the same.
Capitalizing on its most visible advantage, the individual fighting and sometimes even magical prowess of most of its inhabitants, TFF Academy City would assemble an elite group of individuals. They, equipped with their own powers that had already been honed over the years, would lead an ambitious infiltration mission on the heartland on the Empire of Yaoi, rescue the hostages, and pay back the evil done by doing the impossible - assassinating the Empress of Yaoi. All help would be accepted. Anyone, from all corners of the Internets could answer the call, provided they had sufficient power.
This would not be a war on the Empire.
This would be... an Assault on Yaoi!

TFF: Assault on Yaoi! Comments, Rules, Formatting
Most of you guys know the drill, and those that don't can simply read over the posts here and in past RPG threads. However, that's no excuse not to to make things easier.
Before we start, I'd like to credit Garedelyon, Lord Raine, Watashiwa, and Vex for inspiration on the plot idea, and Mick and his sister (I think?) Sidhe for helping out while the details were being hammered into existance and for showing unexpected interest in this (throw everyone else who pitched in during the first thread here, too. You guys rock) here thing. Also, I'd like to thank our lovely, yet unfortunately disappeared, girl (man? tentacle monster? Curse you, Internets!), Zenithos for starting, GM'ing, and writing the plot of most of the RPG's in this section. You, m'dear, are awesome.
Comments:
- This is a free-form/round robin format RPG. You write your post from the viewpoint of your characters and NPC's (or others, see Rules below) as if it were part of a massive fanfiction. Details on character abilities and combat might be fuzzier than tabletop, but given the sheer chaos that tends to spring up on these RPG's, that might actually be a good thing.
- Try to make at least one post a day here. Obviously, more would be nice, but if you're busy/pressed for time/etc. one post per day is more than enough to get an RPG running quite healthily.
- You are encouraged to pitch in on plot points, story direction and views on characters other than your own. Not only does this help with making the best, most-engaging story possible and increasing the game's entertainment value, but keeping people interested in the story also helps avoid continuity errors.
- Please, ffs, put some effort into it! Particularly your characters. If you're just going to sign up for the hell of it, make a boring, uninteresting character, and then every once in a while bump the game thread with barely-understandable posts "teeped lkie dis", I'll say it from the get-go: don't even bother
Rules:
All hail Zeni for these:
Formatting:
- Always type out the time and location of your story post in bold.
- Place OOC notes at the bottom of your posts, marked simply as OOC: and then the message.
- This probably goes without saying, but make sure you separate different scenes using lines, asterisks, etc.
- Besides that, this is free-form, feel free to use whatever formatting style you feel works best for your writing style.
One last thing:
Before going to the signup template, there's one thing I really want to say: please, for the love of catgirls, respect other people's character plots and the overall story. I'm not advocating doing something retarded like trying to read over 10 pages of constant posting if you've been away from the RP for a while. What I am saying is that everyone should make an effort to acquaint themselves with the current state of the story before posting in the Story thread. This should be easy to do just by reading the last page of the Story thread and the most recent couple of posts from the OOC thread.
Make an effort. It'll pay great dividends when we won't have to stop every few posts to argue over continuity errors.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Signup/Character Template:
To signup, just register by putting up your character information here using the following template. Basically just fill in the blanks by using your imagination. Like I said, though, do put some effort into it:
Character Template
Name: (Duh)
Description: (A simple description of how your character looks)
Affiliation: (Your character's affiliation. It can be to TFF, to another organization, or to no one but yourself. One thing I'd like is for at least one or two people to choose an "evil" affiliation (i.e. one directly opposing the TFFers' mission), as no matter how many NPC villains we come up with, they're not going to be as good as flesh-and-blood humans at making things hard for the characters.)
Picture: (If you have one, doesn't have to be fully original, can be an approximate culled from the Interwebs/Potatochopped into existance)
Theme Song: (Again, pick one if you want one and link to it here)
Background: (Your character's history until now)
Abilities: (Your character's powers and skills)
Items of Importance: (Any particularly important objects your character carries around)
Use this template both for your original character and NPC.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And that should be it for now. We've covered all the bases, I think. Minor details such as banners, mottos, map pictures, etc. will come later. So, yeah, that's it.
Now, it's up to you.
Will you answer the call?
