lolnope.

It's still fanfiction except your given something to write about.

Still just my opinion though.

Not to be picky but doesn't fan fiction demand some kind of fandom? Therefore the only 'fan fiction' events are Rescue Mission and First Catch - all the others are just original writing pieces (and battle is true roleplay).

RPOs plays on the skills you need for any kind of writing, fiction or roleplay. If you'd like to work out and organise dozens of people in to different groups and then have them post individually, within a time limit, than by all means complain more though...


Anyway! Would it be possible to have a list of who is in what event in the RPO thread? I've totally forgotten what I signed up for...

Nevermind just noticed the signup thread is further down XD

As hilarious as I find the Arceus-apethetic's ramblings, he does have a point about the One Liner. I was lucky enough to remember what the One-Liner said in the SU thread, but I really think you should explain all of the events again thoroughly in the Post Thread, especially since the SU and Judging threads are no longer stickied.

Point taken. I've linked the RPO Sign up thread in the top of the Post thread now, so you will be able to view the rules and explanations for the events more easily. There are also additional two links within the body of the Post thread which link to the Sign up thread. Hope this will be sufficient.

Any Fire Emblem and Legend of Zelda fans around? I have a role-play for both games as a crossover. Been planning it since I mentioned it in here a week or so ago.

Sorry if I'm eavesdropping on conversations (or posting in the middle of one). Just wanting to know if anyone's interested. I can get the plot from my saved word document if anyone needs it to determine interest or not.

The other place I submitted this role-play (where people have played or know either games), didn't bode so well, so I'm hoping...

Don't know much about the Zelda series, but I'm a huge fan of the Fire Emblem series, and I wanted an RP based on that for quite a while. Mind telling me a bit more about the plot? If I have time, and I like it, I may very well join.

New discussion topic! Which region do you like to be in the most for roleplays?

HOENN!! Hoenn is my favorite region cause Emerald was my first game and it brings back memories. And it's pretty diverse as well, it's got islands, a volcano, a sea, desert, etc.

That's also one of my many reasons for Hoenn lol. I also like Kanto/Johto, and occasionally when I feel like it, a Sinnoh. The only reason I don't do Unova roleplays is because of the pokemon. I love the cities, the feelings, and how metropolistic it is, but I just cannot stand the Pokemon. d:

I believe that would be Hoenn, since I know it best than other regions. The Latias there is awesome!

I know Johto and Kanto are used the most often for journey RPs but I still like them best. Johto the very most, maybe because of the traditional scenery and 2nd gen pokémon. I know Hoenn even better than those, I think, but for some reason Hoenn doesn't have the same nice, deep feeling to it. In my opinion, and each and everyone is entitled to have their own ;)

Oh sweet, an FE fan. I've only played up to Radiant Dawn though, since FE11 is just FE1 remade (with horrible name translations in my book). Since I've already played the original, I didn't bother with the remake. As for Zelda, I've played up to Skyward Sword, but in my role-play idea, I'm using Twilight Princess, as I favor that more.

Both Tellius and Hyrule have things in common, and this role-play I wanted to demonstrate that.

It's set 1000 years after the events of the game (Tellius) and current Hyrule. So all canon characters are proclaimed "dead", with Zelda being the exception since it's just after TP. (No Link appears, though)

Anyone that played either of the series can join this. Don't have to know both, but it's a plus if you do. I'll also try to keep it spoilerless as possible for those who haven't beaten SS and/or RD. (but the introductory can't promise that)

Plot below:

... Interest!

So... Can you explain the plot a bit more? Who are the players, what are they doing, etc.

Because if you're looking for a Twilit Wolf, look no further.

Lol the text is all crossed out.

The plot I still have to lengthen more, if it's going to be here. As I've said, I've been working on it since I last posted about it. I wanted to have it as a "surprise!" plot and begin to weave it through the role-play, making it suspense and the players. Heavy clues to figuring out what's happening and how they can "stop" it from progressing. That would have been a fun idea, but with me only knowing the plot, it would seem a little unfair, so another reason I have to expand it.

What I have so far is that hylians (and monsters) from Hyrule that appear in Tellius mysteriously are treated unlawfully, much like the Branded were. They are neither Branded, Beorc, Laguz or those without power that used to be Laguz.

Same is likewise for beorc/laguz that appear in Hyrule.

The players are the people who join, and I'll probably want only 5 people (3 as minimum) for it, not including myself. Namely due to the fact I have a short attention span and can't remember some things without looking back at something else to help me remember it.

Well... pretty much all of my stuff for the RPO's have been posted except for my battle.

You know... since I dropped out of the Escape category...

I'm pretty sure I won't be winning anything.

I am a zelda fan (despite the fact i've played AN HOUR OF SKYWARD SWORD *criescoughboughtitforthesountrackcoughcries*) but i've never really understood how it could be roleplayed.

I like to think that to see if a series can be roleplayed, you ask yourself; could anyone do this? With zelda, no, link is the hero of time. The only hero of time. And a 'reincarnation' or whatever.

But I've never played fire emblem, which i keep meaning to because someone said it was tactics-y and i love me some tactics.

also, to help with your plot other than world domination, you could go with *both worlds are connected and CRASHING INTO EACHOTHER (lol)* or portal to other world is a BLACK HOLE THAT WILL SWALLOW EVERYTHING or some kind of impending natural disaster.

Well, that's not the right attitude, now is it?

Funny that you're on a Pokémon forum then. d: We must have some pretty cool non-Pokémon roleplays for you to stick around then. <3

btw australia *fist bump!*

If this was the sort of forum where people were up themselves and held grudges, perhaps you would be right, but I can pretty confidently say that this wont be one of those cases, it would completely ruin the point of the event, especially with it being the very first RPO.

Besides, it's a Pokemon forum, not exactly full of douche bags xD

I do have a question about the mentioned Zelda x Fire Emblem RP: which Zelda game would it take place in? After all, different games feature different timelines and different Links (as well as different Zeldas, different monsters, and what is likely the same Ganon/dorf). I'd expect that it wouldn't take place in a particular canon and would feature a world that is made up of various enemies, characters, and places that appear in various games, but that's just me making a prediction.

Region.... well I've only RPed in Hoenn and Sinnoh. I think I would like to try Unova some time. For some reason not too interested in Johto or Kanto (never played through my heartgold).

Zelda RP could work heck its Role playing almost any thing could be role playing. We could role play 5 people stuck in a white room with no windows or walls... just will be boring.

I really should join a RP... maybe that Bleach one...
