*Hands pills over and backs away*

And that would be awesome, having a randomizer create wild events which would never happen, but I'm sure we'd have some great RPers like Alter Ego here who could make it seem like the most natural thing in the world lol

And I'd also be willing to be a Master/Judge as long as I could still participate, 'cause this has the potential to be the best RP on the forums.

Loki August 28th, 2008 6:47 PM

I refuse to be a Co-Owner.

Because I'm taboo, and any RP I co-own or own in general will flush itself down the toilet. :|||||

But yeah, I'm getting a little psyched for this, but now that AE's pointed it out, I agree that the final decision will be based on the quality of the plot. I'm teetering between this one and Parabolic's Tokusatsu RP right now, so...

Fallen Angel_Messiah Of Black Roses August 28th, 2008 7:44 PM

In any way I'll asist, not sure how much time I can devote to playing the RP though.

Buh. No pressure, eh? 8D;
I'm going to have to put more thought into this. It was just a fleeting idea at first! xD *attempts to come up with a plot* Thank God for weekends. I have time to plan this now. :3
Also, yeah, you can still have a character even if your a Co-owner. I'll probably have a character too. ¬_¬

Alter, Yuoaman, and Fallen, I'll probably PM you people to help with the plot.

[[Is there a way to do a group PM? D: ]]

Alter Ego August 29th, 2008 1:58 PM

Sure, just separate the usernames you want with a ';' in the 'recipient' field. E.g. "Username A ; Username B ; Username C". Easy as that.

Let me know when you think something up, then. *Is seriously tired of hocking the entire plot-writing initiative in every joint project :x*

LIES!!!

And do you have a basic synopsis of the RP yet, or are you still coming up with the preliminary stuff?

Chibi-chan August 29th, 2008 3:22 PM

I can be a Randomizer Judge person and not participate in the actual RP XD
That'd get rid of bias and untruthfulness now wouldn't it? :3
I don't think my schedule can handle an RP...but I'm interested in helping.

Yuoaman August 29th, 2008 3:47 PM

You know... An easier way to do the randomizer would be for the forums to get a BBCode for dice... which would eliminate all bias from the equation...

Chibi-chan August 29th, 2008 6:15 PM

Like that'd be implemented for a single RP.

Loki August 29th, 2008 7:23 PM

That'd be the same thing as using a randomizer anyway. :|

Yuoaman August 30th, 2008 10:37 AM

A single RP? Just because we would be the first to use it doesn't mean we'd be the only ones...

Chibi-chan August 30th, 2008 10:48 AM

Well, there are other places to argue that.

I say Randomizer.

Yuoaman September 6th, 2008 6:09 PM

Hey Alter_Venus, any news on how the story is coming along?

SilverTail September 9th, 2008 1:01 PM

hmmm... this dose look interesting if I must say so... I've actually gone on a quest while actually playing D&D, even if the quest was never finished due to our evil DM... (seriously, level 5&6 people going against level 72 forest giants? not fair...)

If there's anything you think I could do to help, i'd be more than glad to...

and A.E., wouldn't a bare-hands fighter be a monk? In most RPG's 'monk' is usually the class given to the users of staves, gauntlets, greive edges(in soul caliber's case) and simple bare-handed combat.

I'll check back regularly to see how this all is coming along....

Yuoaman September 20th, 2008 7:36 PM

So AV any more news? If things are too hectic for you I could do a little more tweaking on the story, and such?

Alter Ego September 21st, 2008 3:36 AM

You were saying? -.-

And, like, just as an FYI I still haven't seen the promised plot draft. Anyone else from the assistance group get it? =O

Yuoaman September 21st, 2008 2:01 PM

Well I got it... and then proceeded to tweak it, and send it back... And AV said that my edits were good ones... so...

Alter Ego September 21st, 2008 2:05 PM

...so you don't feel like letting me take a look? Thanks. :\

Meh, whatever. It's not like AV seems to be around anyway. *Shrug*

Yuoaman September 21st, 2008 2:46 PM

Okay, sure:

Original (Sent to: Alter Ego, Fallen Angel_Messiah Of Black Roses, Yuoaman)
Spoiler:
Hey all. :3
Okay, so the Fantasy RP thing seems to be getting way more attention than I thought it would, so I'm going to need help putting together a good plot. I'm going to use the basic plot of a different RP I've been planning, [[which I'm not making anymore, due to this]] but it's still full of holes. :/

Critique as harsh as you want, I want this thing to be good. Please note that I really suck at explaining things, so just tell me if you don't get something. x-x

Here's my idea:

Thousands of years ago, the earth was occupied by two different types of people. Normal humans, and then those born with more power than a normal human, or the ability to use abnormal powers.

These gifted people often had an odd appearance, with abnormally colored hair or eyes. They were stronger, faster, and more intelligent than humans. For a long time, the humans and the gifted lived together, but in time, the humans began to fear the power of the gifted ones, as their power continuously grew with each generation. They feared of being overthrown and controlled by these people. A human's response to fear tends to be to destroy what they fear. Tension rose between them, and rumors of war floated through the air. The gifted ones knew that war would destroy either them or the humans. To prevent this, they combined their magic to split their world in two. All of the gifted were moved to one side, while humans lived on the other. The only way between the two dimensions was a gate in the gifted's world, which remained sealed. A new name was given to the gifted. They called their world Abatiera, and themselves Abatierans.

Many years past, and the memory of the Abatieran's faded into legend, and from legends into myths, and then, they were forgotten. The world continued normally, no memories of the Abatierans remaining.

The Abatieran's, however, remembered the humans. The Gate that led back to the human realm was always guarded, and no one was allowed to go to the human realm.

The current time is modern earth, year 2008.



...And that's the basic plot. The main evil dude, whose name is Renkth, is trying to merge the two dimensions and provoke war, knowing that the Abatierans would wipe out the humans, and thus have the Abatierans rule both dimensions.

How the merging happens, I don't know. D; Also, Renkth is part of The Council [kind of like the government] so no one suspects him.
He's been creating creatures called Ekohs to go to the human world and attack them, which is part of his plan to reveal Abatiera and provoke war. He makes them out of magic using Abatierans, some how.

There is a TON of crap that still needs to be figured out, and we don't even have to use this, but it's just an idea. D: Input, please.

Also, where could a Randomizer thing be found? 8D


My version:
Spoiler:
[QUOTE=Yuoaman]Your story had some good ideas, though it did have several holes and such which needed filling. So I added a little description, feel free to use or not use my input as you see fit.


Countless millennia ago, the World was occupied by two great tribes. Normal beings, and those gifted with enhanced abilities, some even had access to abnormal powers.

Those of this gifted tribe had an appearance quite distinct from the 'normal' people, their eyes and hair were colored strangely, among other things. They were stronger, faster, and more intelligent than their brothers belonging to the other tribe. For a long time, the un-gifted and the gifted lived together in peace, but in time, the un-gifted began to fear the power of the gifted tribe, as their power grew continuously with each generation. They feared being overthrown and subjugated by the gifted tribe. A person's response to fear tends to be to destroy what they fear. Tension rose between them, and rumors of war was on everybody's lips.

In order to prevent the eventual war, a group of people from both tribes came together. To prevent the destruction of the two tribes, this group, calling themselves the Guardians combined the amazing abilities of the gifted, and the technical prowess of the un-gifted, they broke the world in two. The gifted tribe was left on one side, and the un-gifted on the other, with the Guardians residing in the center, protecting the Twin Gates, which led to either dimension.

The gifted called their new world Abatiera, and named themselves Abatierans. Eventually, memories of the un-gifted tribe fell to myth, and legends of jealous men creautes without abilities, who would kill an Abatieran upon sight, persisted through the ages...

In the dimension of the un-gifted, all memories and myths of those now called Abatierans have all but disappeared. Though there are still small clusters of people with some Abatieran blood, from before the Seperation, who still remember...

Many years past, and the memory of the Abatieran's faded into legend, and from legends into myths, and then, they were forgotten. The world continued normally, no memories of the Abatierans remaining.

The current time in modern Earth, in the un-gifted dimension, is 2008 AD...

The Guardians, in the time since the Breaking have changed, they've become a mix of gifted and un-gifted, most being strong in Construction (Building up materials/creating more of a material/), a skill which assists in their duty of keep the Twin Gates intact. Though they are weak in most of the other abilities which the Abatierans are known for. All the Guardians still toil away in their own dimension, doing their best to keep the Twin Gates sealed. That is, all but Renkth...

Renkth is a high-ranking member of the Council, which governs the Guardians, and presides over the Gates. He is different than most Guardians in that his abilities specialize in Transmutation (changing something into something else O_o), and that he is secretly plotting to destroy the Twin Gates, and merge the dimensions. This is because Renkth is incredibly, and irrevocably mad, his belief is that with the Gates gone, and both tribes residing together again, they will proclaim him their god.

Using his Transmutation ability, Renkth is Transmuting Abateirans-obtained by slipping into Abateira through the cracks created by thousands of years of stress- into Ekohs (fairly humanoid creatures with weak abilities in Illusion (creating images and situations that aren't real)) and sending them into the dimension of the un-gifted, to foment panic, so the people will be easier to conquer. He has not yet begun his plans for Abateira...


...How do you like it, feel free not to use it, it's just an idea...


Ideas for the abilities:
  • Illusion
  • Transmutation
  • Construction
  • Destruction
  • Others...

All this stuffs sound interesting.

Callandor November 16th, 2008 11:19 AM

Sweet, this sounds totaly awsome. I my self am in a D&D campainge right now. I am a Half-Orc Barbairin and almost got killed by a skelliton :(

If this takes off that would be a huge improvment. I am only in one other intersting RP right now.

Sonikku November 20th, 2008 1:23 PM

The Magus November 20th, 2008 1:32 PM

Ready to deploy, captain! :15:

I can help. and I'd like to be a black mage if this works.

Salamar November 30th, 2008 11:39 PM

This seems like it'd be good. if we did get it started I'd join in. one question though: What races will we be going for? If we went for the basic few it'd be okay but if possible i'd love to go as something like a kobold or something.
