I like the names (Maybe Shadow Sneakers instead of Stealthy Sneakers?)

And, if that's the case, I hope you don't mind if I elaborate on the concept. I'll come up with something and hopefully have it posted sometime today for you all to chew on~

Now, will your map have as many mysertious dungeons as, say, Explorers of Sky? And, also, what will be the main drive of the RP? I know you said you wanted it to be "team"-centered, but are these exploration teams, treasure hunters, or rescue squads, or are they a mixture of all three?

[Limanya]

A mixture of all three! They do their jobs in different ways, and some are more focused on one of the three. The Stealthy Sneakers are more like treasure hunters, but the Lost Learners are focused towards explorations. Also, the map doesn't have the dungeons on it, but it shows the part of the land where the bases and important towns are.

And no i don't mind at all!

Ah, I see. Now, is this a free-roam RP? Or do you have some sort of plot driving it? You may have not gotten that far, I'm just curious~

As for the Olympus Overdrive idea, I was thinking that each human is already in possession of maybe one or two Pokemon (Varying stages of evolution depending on the RPer's characters). In order for the Legendary/Human teams to progress ahead of the other pairs, they must engage in a Pokemon battle that ultimately ends with the Legendaries facing one another. The winner is then given the opportunity to capture the opposing Legendary, effectively wiping out that pair from the game.

Still debating as to whether or not the winning pair should be allowed to use the captured Legendary.

Also, each Legendary would have a fixed moveset that expands as they grow stronger by defeating opposing pairs and also have Special Abilities (Not related to actual abilities) that they can utilize for the RP:

Example:


Legendary: Darkrai
Typing:
Rank: Basic (Rank is basically the degree of power this Legendary possesses. It increases as other Legendaries are defeated, allowing for more moves to be used and to enhance their special ability).
Special Ability (Basic Level): Capable of putting humans and Pokemon into a very deep slumber. Downside is this slumber is plagued by nightmares and usually only lasts for a few minutes before the subject wakes up terrified and drenched in cold sweat.
Moveset (Basic Level): Ominous Wind, Disable, Quick Attack, Hypnosis, Faint Attack (Moveset is based on the Legendary's in-game moveset. When they rank up, the Legendary's moveset is expanded to accomadate more moves maxing at 8. TM and Move Tutor skills can be learned by various means within the RP).

[Limanya]

I like that!

Also, i just submitted the PMD RP eeeeeeeeee i'm so exciteeeeeeed

Anyways i might make an Olympus Overdrive with only Pokemon later i can't rp humans ok i'm used to PMD

also here's the map just to show it i guess? BLEH

Spoiler:

[RedWing]

Thank you :D

I'm thinking of allowing about 8 RPers (Any more than that may be too much for me) and having them select any legendary except Arceus. Then, the remaining legendaries would be NPCs that the players can battle, defeat and obtain Legendaries from. As a way to keep anyone from being cut from the RP, everyone would have the opportunity to defeat once of these NPCs to obtain a second Legendary and form a new chain if they are ever defeated.

I like the map and how each team has a town that is within their alliance. Are there rivalries amongst the clans? And does Medius Town act as a sort of central hub for the teams?

[Limanya]

Yes, Medius is a cental hub. As for the rest, you'll have to see XD

[RedWing]

Interesting

Will definitely be signing up for it!

Smart guys
Archers

I'm working on a PMD roleplay at the moment...

Spoiler:

...which takes place in a war setting and focuses on a contract made by Legendary Pokemon and other Pokemon. This contract is called a 'Soul Contract.' This gives the Soul Contractor (normal Pokemon) the powers of the legendary for a year, while the Legendary takes control of their body once a week and/or makes a request every month to do something they couldn't normally do with their status. They've become increasingly more common as the Pokemon world is on the brink of a war induced by rebellions in Arceus's kingdom- who has strangely turned into a tyrant ruler of the entire world and demands insane things since he has come across a strange artifact that no one can seem to place. It is called... the Death Plate.

It's not finished right now, but... thoughts on it?

[Limanya]

Sounds cool! Soul Contract reminds me of Puella Magi Madoka Magica SO much. But i'm probably joining it!

Oh well i guess i'm gonna do other things while checking about every hour in the thread where accepted RPs are shown
I am just REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY excited okay

[Vato]

Yeah, so... I know a lot of you HATE these kinds of posts in this thread, so, please have a cookie while I do some shameless advertising

Some of you may have seen my RP: Hoenn ReBURST. Yes people, it's still alive T.T Only problem is, everyone suddenly... evaporated or something. Almost no RPer is around the OOC/IC anymore. This leading to spots opening up out of the blue.

So, what I ask for is for you to fill in those spots before the RP itself sinks in the ocean of dead RPs we all fear our precious creations could join. Yeah, I guess that's it... More cookies? :3

Either that, or restart it fresh, same story and maybe even name all but with new energy and not a bulk of dead players haunting the place. But it's up to you :3

[TornZero]

Well, there's a bulk of dead characters, but we had the cleaning crew take care of the bodies. Only two remain, so practically everything's been opened up.

[WolfOfEve]

Hey, maybe I'll bite! I'm sure I could whip up a decent character if I think about it.

People dislike this? I cannot see a reason why, unless it's being posted multiple times.

Anyway, I wish you luck on your search!

[Limanya]

I'd love to join but i'm not really good at playing that kind of character (or anything else, for that matter) so i'll stick with roleplaying Pokemon for now.

RéBURST actually is a Pokémon journey RP. xD

[Limanya]

I know. I can't play humans.

I can only play Pokemon and trolls (the Homestuck kind).

[TornZero]

Okay, I totally get what you're saying now. :D *silly me!*

[XLegionxX]

Hello! Have I missed anything important in the two years since I've RPed here. (I'm really asking, not being a jerk)

[gimmepie]

Well there are a some good RPs with room and some I made too (haha). I don't know about missing anything though since I'm not exactly a veteran. You may want to look into ReBurst, Forsaken, PTA, Reapers or Survival Challenge 2 (shameless plug on the last two) otherwise I'm not sure what to say.

[WolfOfEve]

I'll further Support Vato's ReBURST RP! It's a shame that everyone died off of it; it has so much potential!

If enough people Join it, however, it'll be saved!

To show my support even further, I created a nice little banner for it and added it to my own signature.

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

This makes me think I need to create a banner for my own RPs--for people's convenience. It's a shame I'm incredibly lazy about graphical art.

[Khawill]

I'm thinking, since everyone loves escort quests in video games, I should make an RP that is entirely an escort quest. I would only allow somewhat like 5 players (with guests) and it would be short with an end. What do ya'll think

[gimmepie]

Sounds kinda similar to FFX really but I quite like the idea :D

If I smell Meg Ryan Tidus within 30 miles of the RP Corner, I'm out.
