Dissidia RP

Occult · 08-07-2008, 07:33 PM

Hey, I’ve only RPed a few times. Once on my own site, it was a Final Fantasy RP that I created myself but died soon afterwards, but I’m currently in a long running Resident Evil RP and its going great so it has given me at least some experience.
There are a lot of great looking RPs in this forum but I searched for a Dissidia style RP and found none. Hence I started my own.
Rules are somewhat basic. Choose from the remaining list of characters; (first come first serve, underlined characters are taken)

Warrior of Light
Garland
Firion
Emperor Palamecia
Onion Knight
Cloud of Darkness
Cecil
Golbez
Bartz

Exdeath = Exxdeath666
Terra
Kefka
Cloud
Sephiroth
Squall

Ultimecia = Occult
Zidane
Kuja
Tidus
Jecht

I realise that some of these characters are yet to be confirmed, but I chose the most logical main characters. I don’t mind a little leeway, especially for the characters that are still awaiting confirmation. For example, if someone would prefer to RP Celes instead of Terra, or Farris/Galuf instead of Bartz, but I’d like to stay as close to the above cast as possible.
The RP is about the war of good and evil, but RPers are free to make whichever enemies/allies they like. There is battling, but being defeated doesn’t mean death so please no god-modding. Bite the bullet and retreat then rematch. It also makes the story more epic. Also, every FF gamer is aware of what skills that the characters have so please chose your character based on their abilities instead of making them up. E.g. Squall can Renzokuken/Lionheart, Sephiroth can use masamune/magic/meteor (though less destructive than its FFVII counterpart), Terra can transform/use magic etc. The RP isnt just battling though, there are a lot of character interactions to roleplay too.
If anyone else is interested I’ll be glad to hear from you. If/when we get enough RPers, Ill post my first scene in the RP area.
Open to all ^_^

Character: Ultimecia
Bio: Ultimecia is the last remaining Sorceress of her time; she bears the combined Sorceress Power of every Sorceress to ever exist, meaning that within her body she holds the entire half of the Great Hyne that he granted to mankind at the beginning of the universe. Because of this, she has an inconceivable amount of magical power.
Although Ultimecia has the Power of every Sorceress that has ever lived, her own personal Sorceress Power seems to focus on space and time.
Abilities: Time/Space Magic (Maelstrom, Apocalypse, Hell’s Judgement, etc.)

Welcome aboard ^_^
I'll post my opening scene so we can begin
Others are free to join and post too

PS. All characters fight in an "alternate dimension" where they can all exist in one world
You may take your chosen character out of their game at any point in time
eg. I will be taking Ultimecia from FFVIII just before she initiates "Time Compression"

H.U.N.K · 10-14-2008, 07:38 AM

Cool ill be Squall.
Name:Squall
Bio:Squall is a member of a special task force known as SEED. He uses a gunblade and is for the most part antisocial. Squall is a good fighter and almost enjoys combat.

Ulteka Mako · 10-17-2008, 04:17 PM

Name: Sephiroth
Ability/Weapon(s): Masamune/Magic/Meteor
Bio: Sephiroth is a very strong and intelligent person. He is a person that likes not to found out about. Yet he will take anyone out that stands in his way. He is not as much evil, but not good as well. Sephiroth will not appose anyone unless felt threaten.

Cool guys! I haven't seen Occult in awhile, but I will assume control of this thread until he returns! The show must go on!
Uh, well in case you haven't yet, now you need to make a way to fit your way into the Dissidia timeline... Uteka, you might want to get on that. Also, while you don't have to go into numbers and detail like I did (though I highly suggest it), you should also explain each character's abilities...
So cheerio, and I do hope we all have fun here!!!! MWAHAHAHAAA!!!

~With much regards,
Exdeath

Well, I got my post in on the rp. It should give a good understanding on what is going with Sephiroths part in this story. Lets keep this thing moving.

Occult · 10-18-2008, 01:25 AM

WOW this is finally going somewhere...
Excellent ^_^

Ulteka Mako · 10-18-2008, 08:20 AM

This is seeming like its going to be a good rp. I just want to say something. If you don't want your rp to die, then have people that type a lot and use a lot of details to describe what is going on in the rp. The last thing you want in your rp is a short post that leaves with nothing to work with and god-moding. So I just have to say, if you don't know how tp rp, then learn first.

sconethief · 10-18-2008, 11:21 AM

lol. I know how to RP and cn do so very well if I want to, but sicne i know just about nothing about FF I'm a bit lost ><
(I was pulled into this....)

Exactly. Occult, you hear that? We need numbers or else people r gonna be cheating muthas! You might also need to go more into detail with what we r trying 2 do here...

Ulteka Mako · 10-18-2008, 12:04 PM

Also, if the next person that joins could be a character for the good, then that would be great. We have three evil and 1 good. So we need more good. We need people to join other then evil or other then good. You want this to be even out. That way we can get the story going good.

Exxdeath666 · 10-18-2008, 02:16 PM

This thread has been moved here. Sorry Occult, but we need to be a bit more specific if we're gonna get more members.

Occult · 10-18-2008, 04:04 PM

Adding numbers makes the RP completly battle oriented instead of story and relationship oriented
Stats and numbers are overly complicated and scare off newbie RPers
Im more interested in RPing a great story than a mediocre battle
But if thats what you guys want by all means

I thought I'd drop in here to lend you some handy advice since Andromeda hasn't got round to it yet and this is escalating furthur and furthur into disaster.

First up, you all need to turn off your signatures when posting in the RP and RP OOC forum, I've contacted Andromeda (I think, though he has either not recieved the message or is taking a while to do something about it), and if you don't turn them off yourselves, there is a chance that he could close the RP and all of it's subsequent threads, which he has done before.

Secondly, Exxdeath, you really don't have the right to high-jack Occult's thread and actually create another two threads so that you can change the RP into a text-based RPG. Typically, RPs don't have any place for 'stats' or 'special techniques' (especially since every FF has a different battle formula) and as Occult says they are supposed to be about storyline and relationships and basically anything you would find in a novel.

Also, the reason people aren't joining has nothing to do with the RPs lack of a pre-defined storyline (though it does give RPers something to work with), it could be that things about the RP just seem un-interesting or vague or that it's just a slow-bloomer. In fact, to tell you the truth, a part of me wants to join purely out of the lack of activity in the RP forum but unless you get your act cleaned up, nobody is likely to join.
