Still working on that title. Anyway...





Before you ask, it is important to note that if you have not played the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, this will contain spoilers regarding the events of the game. More importantly, it is because of those spoilers that this RP exists. That said, it is also because of said spoilers that RP is not tied down by certain things either. This is an alternative take on the world that lives both inside and outside the events that made it. If you wish to proceed, I will explain below. If you're not interested, though, no harm done.



This roleplay is largely story-and-character driven, though I will be paying attention to equipment, resources, skills, etc. to an extent. I don't want and do not care about stats, but what you have and what you do for a living will factor in. When I ran a Fallout RP for a few years, we all joked about our SPECIAL stats in the profiles, but they didn't mean anything. I didn't impose strict rules on ammo count, the money you had, or other little things like that. Certain traits applied to situations there, and they will here too. The most important thing to note is that I like a creative edge. Some of your resources will be limited because you're not likely to have the best of the best, even if you're a First Class SOLDIER, but if I like an idea you're putting forth, I'll go with it. My Fallout RP made popular a traveling undertaker, an Enclave Scout of America, and a delightful young girl mentally programmed to kill, among others. And make no mistakes, I am open to the use of non-human Final Fantasy races existing on the world of Gaia. All I ask is that you understand that people will treat you very differently for obvious reasons.



-How will you be handling certain plot points relevant to the world (such as Shinra and the Ancients)?

The antagonists are still antagonizing. To wit, Shinra and their plans for the Promised Land are still a thing, as is Sephiroth, which means that the chances of being sworded to death by a large Japanese blade are still there. When I say that the infrastructure and past events still happened, I mean that Shinra still made Midgar and that there's at least one version of Avalanche at large. Jenova still hit the planet and her headless body is still in a lab. Sephiroth still went crazy and Nibelheim still burned (and the whole thing was subsequentally covered up after the fact). The normal protagonists are gone. They didn't make it. At some point in their lives, they died, or never existed. Now, this raises the question: Wait, don't we need an Ancient for things to go forward? Perhaps. You can make a member of the Cetra if you want. I'm going to say it won't be entirely necessary, after a bit of thinking, and leave it at that.

-Would you accept a adherent of the Rufus way of combat maybe? I'm just curious.

You mean like guns and hound dogs? I got no problems. This game featured main characters who wielded a BFS, had big guns mounted to their arm, used fist-fighting techniques, had magic staffs, were literally animalistic, was apparently a ninja, was a remote control toy, and of course used different guns.

Speaking of Cait Sith, since he's not a real boy, his controller is still here, but the creation has not been created. Just clearing that up.

The OOC exists. It is HERE.

Might be cool.

I'm curious

Okay interesting...I'd be interested to get in on a FF7 RP.

@FalloutJack

I have played the Remake so yes I meant Rufus and his mythril coins, his guns and a hound dog yes. Man was an awesome fight.

But yes if you'll have me I'll think up a way to make that work.

Would this be a little too unfitting as a concept?

Was thinking a guy that using a one of those paper talismans but it's dangling from a floating drone and like by slotting the materia it changes what he casts. And as a backup in case something gets to close he can like bonk them with a sword.

@Jerkchicken

This sounds like something that needs to be discussed more, partly because I'm not sure what you mean.

The Discord is live now if you wanna talk more directly.

This sounds interesting. I might join.

So this isn't getting off the ground? or? What's up?

@BigPapaBelial Part of it is that only a few people have shown interest, and part of it is that I became a little busy. (There was some question as to the location and preparation for my election day responsibilities.) I shall create the OOC proper, though, and we shall see.

The OOC exists. It is HERE.
