[OOC] Eɴᴛᴇʀ — Into an Isekai World

[Seirei No Hai]

With no more competing applications in the course of a week, I will be reviewing this tonight. Assuming everyone is still on board.

@Inkarnate

Am on board as well >.<

[Polaris North]

Y'know I'm still in.

@Poke @Rabidporcupine

Alright, review time. Both of these characters are very well suited to the protagonist role of an isekai and I like how they both have their own individual hang ups and issues. Ultimately the deciding factor for me was Toshinari’s personality quirks – the dynamic between his inner and outer selves are particularly fun to read and I think that could make things very entertaining to look into come storytime. I do like Kaito however, so this isn’t a case where it was easy for me to decide.

Su uh, yeah.

I’ll get to working on the logistics on how the isekai abilities work and the opening post.

[Rabidporcupine]

Damn... Don't suppose there's any other way for me to be in this is there? Even if I'm not one of the main cast, it still sounds interesting.

@Rabidporcupine

Since you are literally the only one who applied, if you want to revise your character concept away from the fighter I might be able to figure something out. I was discussing with Polaris earlier on the idea if I should expand this into four protagonists (plus I don’t want this to be Toshinari’s harem), though I’m still trying to figure out what is the most viable in this function.

The three options I’ve come up with to conciliate your involvement are pretty much what I expected. The first is creating a ranger/archer composite role that is similar to the rogue, the second is creating a brawler/monk composite that serves similar to the fighter, and the third is creating a bard-type role. I am leaning toward the second option as it works best for what you've designed, though I am open to discussion on the subject.

I'd be down to play the monk, but I do have a few questions. Like, would I get any of those pseudo-magical Ki abilities that monks always get? And also would I be able to use the standard 'monk weapons' like bo staffs or nunchucks and stuff?

@Rabidporcupine

If he can heal, that's good enough X3

@Seirei No Hai

Don't worry about healing. I have a plan for that.

As for “do we get weapons! powers?! shiny?!!!” – that’s a rather large question. Of course, every one of our protagonists will be granted some benefits allocated to them based on the divine wish that has transported them to the isekai world. For instance, Seirei’s character will find a spellbook that only they can read and comprehend. I still have to figure out by what rules the divine spell is placing on the protagonists.

@Rabidporcupine

So, should I add you to the protagonist list and adjust everything to four instead of three protagonists? You are accepting of such an amendment?

[Rabidporcupine]

@Inkarnate
Yeah, definitely. As you said, we gotta make this one of those revolutionary new non-harem isekai stories!

[mickilennial]

I'm a trendsetter.

[mickilennial]

Anyway, for everyone, I’ll be trying to get the first IC post up tonight or tomorrow afternoon, though don’t expect magical adventure hero powers yet because I still have to figure out how that’s going to work precisely. Mostly, you’re just going to be ripped from your little life in Japan on a mundane afternoon day, suddenly finding yourself in a world of adventure and bad things!

Edit: Hit a slight creative block on the scene opener, but its finally done. Would've been done sooner but Mondays are SUPER busy for me and Sunday was a whole lot of brain farts beyond a few Gaea posts.

It’s your go. Welcome to Eferion and shite.

@Inkarnate

I'll make up a post later. I'm attending to family matters.

[mickilennial]

Excellent posts all around guys! Feel free to keep interacting until I stagger a GM event along.

[mickilennial]

Do note that it is IDEAL that the characters think they all woke up around the same time and are still lost in Japan. Makes the surprise that they are not in their homeland more resonant, I think. Not telling anyone to write differently, just my twenty-four cents.

[Rabidporcupine]

@Inkarnate
Ah, ok. I'll make him a little disappointed that his theory is wrong when he sees the torii then.

@Rabidporcupine

It'll be hilarious when he finds out he's actually right in a few days or sooner.

[mickilennial]

Who next?!

[Seirei No Hai]

I think me? But that'll be a bit later, am doing something at the moment.
