ARMS ALCHEMY ACADEMY: BUSOU RENKIN
y'know, we were gonna do one as a Christmas event in 2011 I think but it ended up falling through since people just stopped posting.Have you ever taken part in a competitive roleplay?
Competitive roleplay normally involves organised teams which go head to head. This normally leads to evictions (big brother style) or deaths as the roleplay progresses - however that is not required.
The purpose is to crown a winning member or a winning team, can involve things like writing challenges as well as visual or verbal puzzles to solve.
^And so the legendary Rika x Journey RP ship set sail once more :p
Welcome to the Roleplay Corner of PokéCommunity, new member! (unless you are an alt, of course)I have a proposal for non-standard RP thread.
What I'm aiming for is basically the style of a regular forum/chatroom/[insert correct terminology here] where people post under the context of being average trainers in the pokemon world. We talk about raising pokemon, recent battles, that jerk at school/college/work who you think mistreats his pokemon-- real-life as though pokemon were real. There would be no real plots, as the nature of this doesn't really mesh with such a thing-- after all, life doesn't have a plot. Posters would have characters, although they probably wouldn't have much behind them other than personalities-- since this is based off of a chatroom, there isn't really any need to see people face-to-face.
However, there would be rules. No legendaries on your team, no "perfect undefeated trainer." If you have a rare pokemon on your team, you should come up with a legitimate-sounding reason as to why. Also, we would be trainers-- humans-- so no RPing as a pokemon. Shinies would be heavily discouraged-- they could be allowed (under certain circumstances that I have yet to think up), but it sort of ruins your suspension of disbelief if every person posting in this thread about pretending to be a person in a fictional world has a super rare critter (if you do have a shiny in the end, limit it to one). Don't pretend to be one of the game's protagonist, either.
Also, narrating your actions (like *John Deerling plops in his chair and opens a soda blah blah blah*) isn't really going to work with the style of this thread. I can't quite explain how, but it'll become clear once this hypothetical thread starts up.
And to make it really clear, please please please don't write yourself in a intimate relationship with a pokemon, because that gets really uncomfortable really fast. There are probably threads somewhere on this internet for that, but this thread wouldn't be such a place.
Anyways, that's the basic idea. I'm always willing to hammer things out.
I have one question though~ Where is "the most improved roleplayer" section? ^^ Was it left out for a reason?
