@King Kindred

One other thing i was wondering if we might be able to include in this game is something to solve one of my big inconsistancy annoyances in the games:

So, they say in the first game "Conventional weapons have no effect on the Heartless. Only magic." So, Beast's form is made by a magic curse, so yeah, i see why his claws work. Ariel is literally a demigoddess (Her grandfather is Poseidon) Herc is a Demigod... Maybe Aladdin got that cutlass from Genie... But how the hell do you explain Tarzan? "Only magic can harm them!" Meanwhile Tarzan with his sharpened rock on a sick

Anyway, when i was running my game, i decided to add a point of consistency to this by giving the party Drynwyn. With the idea being that Drynwyn wouldn't work for any of the party members, but, as in the movie, it chooses its weilder by choosing a noble-hearted champion who cannot defend himself.

Just a thought.


The worlds give their protagonists the power of light to fight against the darkness in their worlds.

I was waiting on Crimson since he's still part of the scene. But today decided to just start writing up a post so I'm working on it. If you have anything you'd like me to include you can let me know, but Merlin's about to pretty much kick them out for his behind the scenes talk with Morgan, and then she'll head out too.

@Sadu Well, it was mostly to do with the "Music is some of the original magic" idea. Some of the backstory is taken from Lorcana, but i think it fits.



Sorry about that, kinda just got into a rhythm. Anyway, feel free to use some of that or just ignore it entirely. I'm not the DM or your mum.

I'll probably use that, but edit it slightly. The direction I think it should go, is that magic born of music is the purest magic imaginable (But not necessarily the most powerful). But, music from the heart, creates magic in the alignment of that heart. Music sang from malice, from a dark heart, would create magic of the purest darkness, while magic from a heart of light, would create magic of the purest light.

This gives weight to villains having their own musical numbers, and why, for example, in Anastasia, Rasputin does his most powerful magic while singing, it's because his music from a heart of darkness, creates magic of pure darkness.

Also the idea that it binds hearts of likeness together... which is why many villain songs seem to rally followers (Be Prepared, Savages, The Mob Song). The idea is that when sung from the heart, a song can resonate with that same part of people's hearts. Everyone has darkness and light in them, so when a villain sings a song, it resonates with the darkness in people's hearts, allowing villains like Gaston or Ratcliffe to rally people to do their bidding, when in all fairness, they are just normal people being manipulated to do something bad.

Not that you specifically said music from the heart was purely light, but I want to make the distinction.

Maybe Morgan will get her own song at some point... if I ever found one I liked... that's probably be dark, or depressing, or both.

I officially declare this canon. It works with the whole idea of the villains gaining the power to alter the reality of their stories to make them the protagonists.

@Sadu what I meant by "Incorruptible" is that you can't use it to hide yourself. I mean, even in "Mother Knows Best" Mother Gothel is clearly only being affectionate towards Rapunzels hair, rather than Rapunzel herself. During the Mob song, Gaston lies and says the Beast will eat their kids, but ultimately, Gaston never says he's going to save anyone, only kill Beast. Poor Unfortunate Souls, Ursula never strictly lies to Arial and if she wasnt blinded by her own wishes, she would have seen that Ursula was clearly trying to use her. Music brings out the truth, one way or another. It's not the musics fault that Disney Protags tend to be naive and dense.

I found it, a song that would... later on, fit Morgan for her own depressing Disney musical.

@King Kindred One thing i was wondering in regards to Zen-Aku's character development:

So, being that he's a Power Rangers character, i'm gonna keep any and all references specifically to Disney-Era happenings (Anything that happened between the beginning of Wild Force and end of RPM) One of the idea's that i had for him gaining new weapons, like the rest of the Keyblade weilders, would be that, when he visits worlds, his spirit may wander off during it to learn from the Jungle Masters that are residing on that world, much like how Kingdom Hearts establishes that Final Fantasy character specifically come from Disney World (Zack and Auron are from Hercules World, Setzer and Vivi are from Traverse Town, etc.) I was gonna do it with worlds that make sense to the masters.

E.G: Master Phant would be from Tarzan or Dumbo world, Master Swoop would be from Nightmare Before Christmas, the Masters Rilla, Lope and Guin, being that they exist within "The Spirit World" would be found in the Underworld of Hercules World. Master RJ being the Wolf would be from one of the Dog based worlds (101 Dalmatians, Oliver & Company, Lady & The Tramp, Jungle Book, etc.)

It mostly gives him something to do during the talky scenes where Dotty is being her hyperactive self and he's just brooding in the corner, as well as gives him something to work on.

I wish I could have had Taivas do this when Dotty started singing. Oh well maybe next time.

@Eviledd1984 Sorry/not sorry for dragging Taivas into another musical number, but it seemed appropriate.

Also, i refuse to apologize for Canonizing Phil Collins. Which makes even more sense considering we're going to Tarzan world.

And you'd better believe that if/when we get to Toy Story world, i'm canonizing Randy Newman as well... Or i may go with Ricardo MurguĂ­a, because i think he's a much better singer.
