So, here's the int check if you want to check that out.
For those viewing this for the first time and not coming from the int check, this RP is going to take something from all the final fantasy games that we all know, the summons. Whether they're called Espers, Aeons, or w/e else they've been named throughout the series, this is the big thing that always seems to come back to give us some familiarity among the new faces and story that we uncover throughout our play through of each game. So the next question is, what does that have to do with this rp?
Well, this is the thing. For this RP, our characters will each be incarnations of one of the many summons made available to us throughout the entire FF franchise. So, while our characters are going to be actual people going on a journey, the things that make them special is that they'll be attuned to a spirit that grants them special skills and such.
For example, if someone were to make a character who's spiritual affinity was attuned to Shiva, they would probably have the ability to manipulate Ice. If someone was attuned to Bahamut, they could probably fly and use a variety of spells, etc.
So, I haven't worked out an actual story, but I do know I want to pursue this as a concept at least, and I need people that would be interested in doing. I'll be pulling in a CO-GM to help me develop a plot and run the rp.
Anyways, here's the CS format for you guys if you're interested in joining, but be warned. This isn't first come first served. I will be choosing a limited number of CS's from those that are turned in, and the ones I choose are accepted into the rp. I find this useful cause this lets me choose better CS's that might take a little longer to write up instead of just choosing the first 5, cause we might miss out on some truly great characters to work with.
CS Format:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Race: (Preferably human, but seeing as the FF series has a number of races, you can choose something different)
Appearance: (This can be either a pic or text description. I'm fine with either, or even both, using a pic as the base and then description to describe details)
Summon Soul:
Personality:
Skills: (are you handy with weapons? Do you have pre-existing skills with magic?etc)
Gear: (If you have an weapons, special items, etc.)
Background:
It's not exactly a giant CS, but I feel this is adequate to developing a strong, interesting character, while still leaving room for development of certain aspects in the RP itself :). I tend to go for a more advance feeling in the IC posts, not the CS's.
and of course, my own CS
Name: Jubei
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance:
Summon Soul: Alexander
Personality: Jubei is a very defensive and closed off person most of the time, but she isn't a bad or mean person. She's actually quite nice and kind to her allies, and enjoys helping people when she can. Her defensive attitude is usually busy fighting off other people either verbally or physically as she defends her friends or herself, and her closed off attitude shows up when she tends to push others away from her problems. She prefers to handle everything alone, or bear the burden while she lets her friends relax and enjoy life. She's a like a fortress to her allies and enemies, keeping her friends safe and everyone else away.
Skills: Jubei is a very strong fighter, and excels in fist fighting. Anything from striking, grappling, and movement, she excels in everything in close quarters combat, and even feels comfortable testing her fists against beasts and small monsters, but she understands her limits and rarely tests herself against anything that can attack her from afar. She's also very tough. After years of training, her body is tough and she can take a lot of abuse and survive.
Gear: Jubei has her special gloves with metal knuckles in them to help her fight, and her regular clothing, but other than that she rarely carries much on her. She prefers to carry light so incase she gets into a scrap, she isn't weighed down by anything.
Background: Jubei has always been a little closed off to most people, but she wasn't always so "fortress" like. She used to be more open with people and had a wide variety of friends, but she also used to be weaker and less defensive of her friends. Until he was about 16, she was pretty much your average girl, just growing up and trying to become a normal, good and kind person.
However after her 16th birthday, there was an incident. Her family was attacked, and both her parents were killed. Instead of going to into a depressive state or years of training for vengeance/honor (not a batman story here), she went berserk on the spot, and once the authorities arrived, they found 3 bodies. They found Jubei's parents, and then the crushed in head of the man that had murdered her parents.
After this, she began to train her strength. People distanced themselves from her, but she didn't mind. The few friends that remained, in her mind, were her only true friends, and the only people worth being with and protecting. She vowed that she'd never lose another loved one as long as it was within her power. Currently she's working in construction, doing heavy lifting and various other jobs.
Alright, so now there are a few things I need to establish.
While we don't have an established plot, there definitely needs to be some established background and setting elements. For the setting itself, I think that using a a city like the city in the beginning of Final Fantasy X would probably be the best place to establish this rp. So, imagine basically a slightly more futuristic NYC, with magic and science working together to make things possible. The government is a democratic government that runs a country roughly the size of the North America, and currently it's in peace times, 5 years prior reaching an agreement with the neighboring country for a cease fire and shortly after a peace treaty. These two countries are the major super powers of the world, so having them working in peace is beneficial to the entire world.
One other thing, our characters are going to be acquaintances, meaning that we don't ahve to be friends, but we have to at least all know each other (just makes establishing things in the rp a little easier to have this pre-determined).
Finally, the characters don't know about the summons yet. I do have an idea of where to go with this, so it's essential that the characters finding out about their summon spirits happens at a later point (not much later, it's just not a prior knowledge thing lol).
If you're interested in being a CO-GM, please say so at the end of your CS so I know who wants to help me :)
