[quote=@BrassOtter] [@NuttsnBolts] I like the idea. So T here'd be the normal Dai Li that are loyal to the king and Ba Sing Se, and then the splinter group that wants to help Avatar Kyoshi? Or what was your full idea? [/quote] No, the Dai Li was loyal to both. It was their own desire for power that drove them to eventually conspire with Long Feng in taking over Ba Sing Se. So the splinter group would form hidden away from Kyoshi's watch with an overall desire to become more than they were intended. [quote=@BurningCold] So far I've got a firebender named Yaze starting with either a Vulpix, Deino, or Houndour, as well as a basic outline of what I want their personality to be like. [@NuttsnBolts] Questions once again. 1. What's the age rating we're shooting for on this, generally speaking? PG-13, PG-15, 18+, etc. etc. 2. What's the general age range that we're looking at for our characters? Is their a maximum or minimum age? 3. Is there going to be some sort of overarching plot/baddie that will gradually make themselves known as the players grow in strength and all of that jazz? I know it's a common trope but one that works well and can add another layer of depth to an RP. 4. Right now I see these adventure hungry children/teens/adults (dunno which yet) parading together or alone around a world that seems on the brink of being thrown into a full on battle royale. My question is, is this leading anywhere? You say that you hadn't given much thought to plot which is alright, I'm open to spitballing ideas. With that being said.... 5. I think a sort of tournament where benders fight side by side with their Pokemon would be fairly cool, and a good juncture in the story for something related to an overarching plot to be revealed. Thoughts? [hider=My Hider] Sorry if those questions seem hard to understand or reply to, my mind is a bit scrambled atm. [/hider] [/quote] 1: Avatar is actually a very dark series when you look into it. Human torture, mass conspiracy, murder, and much more. I don't want it to be "dark" with people describing things that would push the age bracket up to adults only, but it'LLC be somewhat mature. 2: Late teen, young adult. 3: There will be something, hopefully. Lol. I haven't thought too far ahead cause many times when I do one person always does something innocent that throws the plan on it's head. Story twists are quite hard to do without it coming off cheesy or stuck on railroads, and then people are afraid to innovate in case they metagame the story. 4: Same as above. I have a rough idea but it ultimately comes down to what each player wants out of the story. The more you create your own conflicts, place your character in turmoil and introduce elements for others, the more I can weave into the story. Let's say you create a character from a village that burnt down. The question would be who burnt it down? Why? Are they someone you're looking for or running from? That little bit of info could be used and I could come up with the situation where the Dai Li was involved, meaning your character and BrassOtter's would have a connection. I'm not creating a story, just stitching it together for you guys to play out. 5: No problem with having a comp of some sorts, or a festival... although since the avatar is sick it may be a bit tense. I'll think about it and see if it may work.
