Hey everyone I've been thinking of making a roleplay based around the anime known as Akame Ga Kill but in an alternate universe setting as to let OC's come into play and to change things up so it isn't so one sided in favor of the rebels being the completely justified side. However I've run into a road bump and am not sure how people would like to do this. If it is also worth mentioning to some that I have not completely finished watching the anime as I've been following the story on the cartoon network block called Toonami so I not know everything there is to know about the series. Now with that disclaimer out of the way I would also like to state I intend for this roleplay to be a solid casual level roleplay. I can possibly go higher to high casual but I intend to stick to my guns in not going any lower so anything short of a paragraph and a half per post and a fairly fleshed out CS (in depth and length) will not get accepted by me personally in this situation. However if you still want to help plan this roleplay without participating in it than that is fine as well. Just say so before you post. If someone needs an example of what I expect I will post a link to a few of my older roleplays on this site.

My first concern is what side players will want to be on. Will we be playing the stand ins for the night raid group with the main protagonists do in the anime? Or will we be operating under the Imperial Army working to wipe out enemies of a certain figure head be it the emperor or some general. Or perhaps go after both sides and work as a neutral Assassins Guild determined to survive the chaos by thriving in it.

Or should we just go back to the start of the rebellion and act as it's figure heads in starting it? Or perhaps work as a faction inside of the Imperial Monarchy looking to take over the Empire from within? I'm willing to listen to any other suggestions on the matter.

My second concern is imperial arms: Will we allow or disallow these? What limits should we impose on them? I am a firm believer that overpowered characters and weapons ruin what could be fun roleplays by turning tough or hard situations into strolls through a park. It's like power leveling in a role playing game based around stats eventually you're just walking through what should be hard bosses and blowing them out of the water with your ground breaking powers. Imperial Arms can make or break a roleplay like this so I feel limiting them should be a thing.

Third: How much do we want to get political on this? Do we want to make it a primary focus or is it just a background thing explaining why we're murdering all of these people?

With all of these answered I can't think of any other problems I may or may not have in making a roleplay like this. I'm up to suggestions and am looking forward to (hopefully) positive feedback on making this roleplay come alive.

Sounds fun, I was looking for something of the sort. I think players should be imperial arms users otherwise we will be too grounded. And I suggest that you finish the show or read the manga before making the RP :P

Well of course that will help but I've already started watching the dub and from what I've seen the site I watch shows off toonami doesn't have the series completely dubbed. Of course I got the wiki to help me with important details and if I need to know something I will ask the players for help or look at the aforementioned.

As for imperial arms I'm going to wait to see if anyone else interested in this is interested and see what their opinion is.

Yeah, I thought about passing this up, but I decided that I might as well jump aboard to see where this goes.

well I'd appreciate if you could give some feedback on what you think this roleplay's setting should be along with the other concerns noted.

Hmm, well it's been a few months since I seen the anime and I stopped around the mid point, I'm watching subbed so I could knock out the rest if needed.

Right, I think we should go for Imperial Arms as well. As we seen in the anime even Night Raid lost people, they may be imperial arms users but they're still mortal. Plus remember how it goes? That when two imperial arms users fight, at least one will always die. I say if we do get arms then whatever enemy we face must also have them.

As for what group we actually belong to, I actually like the idea of us being a completely different faction all together, although I'm not bought on just being another assassins' guild, but it is a nice starting point to build on.

Anyway my apologizes if this seems scattered and has bad organization, mostly just me throwing down whatever comes to mind.

Alright that's fair enough. I'm personally preferring we be a neutral or third faction myself but I also have good ideas for imperial and rebel allies.

Also by chance would either of you two (assuming magnato is interested in this still) know anyone who may be interested in joining and helping me make this roleplay?

Nope I wouldn't know anyone who will be willing to come along, sorry.

My interest has been piqued.

Will be watching with great curiosity.

@Damiann47
Sorry to hear that

Also with Laxynd, assuming you do join in once we get the plot ironed out, means the minimum of three people I usually do with roleplays means we can start it

@Magnato

I'd also like to hear your opinions on the roleplay's plot and such as you've yet to give your own opinion on the matter.

===

Assuming no one has anything to throw out I will be going with this:

Neutral Faction intending to take over the empire or root out corruption within it.

Imperial Arms will be allowed assuming they are within reason and aren't completely broken. You will also need a reason to have acquired the imperial arms within your bio.

We will be made up of people consisting of former imperial soldiers, former or current rebels, or simply individuals who are highly skilled and will be working under a former imperial officer looking to install a new regime into place by more subtle means.

This is not by any means a definite thing yet it's just what I can work with off the top of my head. I'd find it interesting to play as Imperial Soldiers or Rebels myself.

Hmm... three people is a tad smaller than what I am used to but I am fine with that~

Also, does his mean that this third party will be up against both the rebellion an the Empire?

well of course three people including myself for a minimal of four is just a base line for starting more people can join in on this.

Well we will be working with and against both sides to suit our own needs and our own end goals. Each player will receive a reward regardless of their own goals if the roleplay is completed such as a land to rule or a weapon.

Alright it sounds like a plan. If you want to get a OOC up soon then I'll be waiting, otherwise is there anything else you want to go over, or are you pretty much good?

Well I want confirmation from Mag before I do anything.

I'm fine with what was discussed. I think we will have a better idea of what we are going to do when we have a few character sheets up...

Alright I'll make up an OOC then. It may not be my best work due to the lack of well discussion on the overall plot but I will make due with what I have.

God speed my good sir.

Again though if you're lacking some information I'm more than willing to talk more if Magnato feels the same.

Well I got the OOC down and will be open to changes in the name of the group.

Don't forget to mention how and why you joined this group. If you want I can give you an NPC to introduce you into the group or you can find some way into it your own.

Also this is still open to anyone reading this.

Also a quick question: Did you guys want canon imperial and night raid characters to be in this roleplay or did you just want OC's? Or a mixture of both?
