A Dragon Quest RP

[Cuccoruler]

The Kingdom of Vista is a grand kingdom. Though it is more of a country thanks to the large amount of land that it has under it's control. Vista is a profitable kingdom mostly profiting off of it's agriculture. Vista is also the home to many adventurers that serve the kingdom often as contractors thanks to the questing boards placed throughout the kingdom.

Recently however the kingdom has started to see more and more problems, thus the need to gather adventurers has arisen more than usual. Due to the recent rise in monster attacks there are limited adventurers available to take on other tasks. There have been reports of curses appearing in each of the towns within Vista, thus a need to for it to be investigated.

You are a new adventurer who is just starting out. Many of the stronger adventurers are out taking care of the monsters leaving you to handle the investigations on your own. Will you take up the kings request to investigate the towns and discover what is wrong?

The other part I would like to do for this RP is to have things just get worse and worse for the group as the story goes on.

If enough people are interested in this RP I will start to get more indepth in this, for the most part the goal will be to kill the demon lord.

[Rin]

An interested roleplayer draws near!
Command?

@Cuccoruler

So basically Dragon Quest V then? >.> <.<

[GarlandChaos]

Oh I'm definitely down for this. Especially if the Classes, Spells and Monsters are the same as the series.

That, and I don't think I've ever actually been in a Dragon Quest RP, so this'll be fuuuuuun. <3

[Jerkchicken]

But will we all look like DBZ characters?

[Cana]

This sounds like great fun!

[Cuccoruler]

@Jerkchicken

Due to my understanding that such a thing is hard to find, I'm gonna say don't worry about that part

Anywho, I don't have many ideas so far but having someone make this with me would be alot of fun if anyone was willing to co-GM

@Cuccoruler

I could co-GM. I tried GMing something before and failed miserably, so I think this, despite being a lesser form of GMing, would at least partially make up for the shitstorm that happened last time I was a GM. I've learned from my mistakes, and am trying my damnedest to get my schedule and stuff under control so that it won't happen again.

@GarlandDaHero

That would make this alot of fun XD Will speak to you in PM

[Jerkchicken]

Also yeah Im up for a DQ themed rp.

Although TBH it'll be more of like a mental aesthetic cuz what makes DQ unique is the Toriyama art style and that sort of basic JRPG gameplay where you grind and go through dungeons and stuff.

@Jerkchicken

True. I suppose if @Cuccoruler and I really wanted to we could make this a tabletop style RP and try to emulate the Dragon Quest-style gameplay, but the Toriyama art style (which I personally don't think is too important to the series, at least not to the extent of something like main-series Shin Megami Tensei; that, and you only really notice the style in-game through the battle sprites and 3D models) will likely be absent, unfortunately.

[Cuccoruler]

I do not plan on making this a tabletop style as those are a bit to confusing especially for me,

@Cuccoruler

Yeah, it did sound a little bit too far-fetched. Oh well.

[Rin]

Anyways, probably rolling a mage but we'll see how that turns out I guess.

[Cuccoruler]

Whelp guess what? I'm almost done with setting this up!

So for those of you who want to get started here is the CS!

Oh and here is the Intro too

Intro

The Kingdom of Vista is a grand kingdom. Though it is more of a country thanks to the large amount of land that it has under it's control. Vista is a profitable kingdom mostly profiting off of it's agriculture. Vista is also the home to many adventurers that serve the kingdom often as contractors thanks to the questing boards placed throughout the kingdom.

Recently however the kingdom has started to see more and more problems, thus the need to gather adventurers has arisen more than usual. Due to the recent rise in monster attacks there are limited adventurers available to take on other tasks. There have been reports of curses appearing in each of the towns within Vista, thus a need to for it to be investigated.

You are a new adventurer who is just starting out. Many of the stronger adventurers are out taking care of the monsters leaving you to handle the investigations on your own. Will you take up the kings request to investigate the towns and discover what is wrong?

Also I'm terrible at names so if anyone has any ideas for the names of the rp please let me know!

CS

((Keep in mind you will be just starting out))

(Put appearance here, center it too)
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Vocation: (Starter Vocations to start with please)
Weapon:
Background:

If you have any ideas as to things to add to the CS let me know and I will ad it.

[Jerkchicken]

A tabletop could be done but it would require some degree of time spent in getting the classes and skills down right so it wouldn't be JRPG D&D even thought that's pretty much DQ

[Cuccoruler]

Yes it is possible, but I'm not gonna be doing that sorry. Anywho!

I am seriously blanking on name ideas, it may end up legend of steve if someone doesn't help

[GarlandChaos]

@Cuccoruler

How about Legacy of Old/Legacy of Ages? Since DQ is a pretty old series, and we're following in its legacy by using its stuff(monsters, classes, spells, etc.). Kinda cheesy, but it's an idea.

[Rin]

Legacy of Legends, maybe? The English Dragon Quest subtitles tend to be alliterative after all.

[GarlandChaos]

@Rin

Ooh. I like the sound of that.

Was DQ3's English subtitle alliterative, or was this before the English releases had subtitles? 'Cause I know the original Japanese was something like Soshite Densetsu e..., or And Thus Into Legend... .

I was going to say 8's wasn't alliterative, but then I remembered it was Journey of the Cursed King, so.

And I don't remember 6 or 7's subtitles.

[Rin]

@GarlandDaHeroLet's see now... First one was just Dragon Quest/Warrior, but as for the others...

Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line
Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation
Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen
Dragon Quest V: Super-Awesome The Best Hand of the Heavenly Bride
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation/Reverie (depending on where you live)
Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Of course, the ones for the earliest games were only added for rereleases and whatnot but still. Also I am a massive dork.
