The title says it all, but if interested, I'd like to discuss the roleplay more with you.

So far I'm imagining a setting more akin to Hunter X Hunter in terms of jobs and joining an organization (perhaps a joint school) where fighters train to become stronger and obtain whatever their goals may be, all the while making money through jobs (and possibly saving the world).

I was thinking we could have not only student characters, but perhaps one or two master characters that instruct the students. Each role would have their respective benefits.

I also thought, to make battles between not only players but bosses more fair, we could have a very basic level/roll system that could help determine who wins fights and how characters obtain new abilities and techniques.

The roleplay would still be story focused and the actions of the characters are what ultimately determine the direction. The level/roll system would be just be for the sake of strengthening the characters and helping to decide the outcome of battles. Nothing fancy, as I haven't even hosted a tabletop game before (not that this is one).

I normally flesh out roleplay settings on my own but I really would like to create something with others and get a good, dedicated game going.

Any who, if you're interested please let me know what you would like to see! If you are interested in helping and possibly being a Co-GM, also let me know! ^_^

I'm always up for some shonen fightan' action, at least pending on whether I can figure out a workable character or not. XD Way more familiar with Dragonball when it comes to the two mentioned anime, but I've heard good things about Hunter X Hunter so yeah.

I am automatically more interested than anyone believes to be humanly possible! HunterXHunter is one of my favorite all time anime and manga and I'm big on Dragonball too, so something that draws from either of them is 100% my thing! Count me in!

No worries! I want the setting and plot to be original, just heavily inspired by the mentioned anime. Hunter X Hunter is awesome, I love it! Like @Dblade26 said, it's one of my all time favorites.

Although the setting will take concepts from Hunter X Hunter, it won't take away from the experience at all even if you know nothing about it! In fact, the concept of the techniques in Hunter X Hunter is pretty easy to understand and draws on common Asian lore around aura and qi techniques. It has its own take and creativity, but the inspiration and root is the same.

With that being said, what do you guys think on a loose currency system for fun? Characters could use said currency to purchase weapons maybe, even train under certain masters? I'd come up with some more things if it garnered interest. It wouldn't break the game or anything either, as all characters will earn currency in one way or another through exploring dungeons and completing missions/bounties.

Woot woot!

@Rin@Dblade26@Vongola_Hasayo
I will most definitely start working on an OOC with all of your interests then.

So to make sure we get a game we're all into, everyone is okay with the concept of an organization that our unique characters will join to not only become stronger but gain money via jobs and bounties? The characters will start with relatively low ability (except for master characters) but will grow as the story progresses. The story can start with a preliminary test to join the organization, or we can skip right to admission.

With that I definitely would like to add some dungeons into the mix.

@Acid Hippie will this be more like the 1999 series or the 2011 one?

Very good question. Though 2011 means Chimera ants as enemies at some point. lol

To try and help answer both points, this isn't a Hunter X Hunter RP.

It's just inspired by the feeling/general atmosphere of Hunter X Hunter and Dragonball.

So the answer is technically neither, but probably 2011 as it sticks closest to the manga and adapts further?

There likely won't be any Chimera Ants at all, unless of course you were joking.

More like 2011, though as @Dblade26 mentioned its only inspired by the show.

There aren't going to necessarily be chimera ants either lol . . . . . . . unless, everyone wanted them to

Anyway, the OOC is up and waiting for everyone's input.

I was just asking because the 1999 series has my soundtrack and I loved the Battleship island filler arc

@Acid Hippie definitely interested

Edit: I actually do have a question though. How will powers and abilities actually work?

The powers and abilities are going to be heavily inspired by Hunter X Hunter and early Dragonball, as in meditation, training, and actual battle experience strengthen the characters. The actual techniques I'm leaving open, but up to discretion.

They can be based upon qi manipulation (energy projectiles, shields, etc.), weapon amplification (fire around sword, electricity infused daggers, etc.), physical enhancements (strength, endurance, speed), and even robotic (cyborg implants).

I'm leaving it open to imagination (for now). If something doesn't suit the style, then the Co-GM or I will say so.
