For anyone on this site that feels like RPing Yu-Gi-Oh, let's brainstorm something together.

<Snipped quote by Amaranthine>

make her 25 at the most, I'd say. Even Mai was only 24, and I think she's the single oldest character with a substantial, non-villain role in YGO.

I'm also just going to pretend Ushio doesn't exist because he's a goddamn time paradox in his own series

EDIT: To compare, this guy's 19

@Ammokkx

Sure thing. 24 it is.

[webboysurf]

What age range are we looking at for our characters? I was thinking of making someone a little younger than everyone else, probably an orphan, someone who makes a living scavenging for valuable stuff and spare parts to sell on to mechanics and so on. He would be one of the people who showed up after the previous gang had been dealt with.

A Scrap deck probably fits better for a character idea like this, but aside from the three variants of Scrap Dragon I don't see much growth for the archetype.

@King Cosmos

Yeah, I noticed some similar problems when looking at building a potential scrap deck. You've got four scrap Synchros: 3 are scrap dragons, and one is a scrap archfiend. Not a whole lot of Scrap Syncho options outside of archetypes.

EDIT: There is also always the possibility of having a, quite literally, scrappier deck to start out with. Weird assortment of machine type cards. There could also be the possibility of relying on equip spells, or even transitioning over towards something more like Morphotronics or just pretty much anything that's focused on synergy and has more options for you down the line.

[Ammokkx]

@webboysurf

Really? I think with cards like Powered Inzektron, Power Tool (mecha) Dragon, Samurai Destroyer and Vermillion Dragon Mech you've got quite a few options even when just looking at machine types. There's also other techno-themed generic cards, like Gravity Warrior. I don't think synchros are lacking at all.

[Amaranthine]

Just need to boot up DuelingBook and put the most generic search criteria you can think of. Like, if you're looking for a Battle Trap, just hit up "Trap" and search for desc "Attack" and see what's the coolest for your deck. Maybe you'll find a card that combos with some of your others? Like, I looked for something that'd work well with Vennu, Bright Bird of Divinity by typing "Tribute" into the "desc" bar and see what I could find. You might just find the coolest combo ever, that you can keep in mind until a very important duel comes up.

[Grey]

I have a gut feel that my concept would work better as one of the Day Wunners.

[The Red Seelie]

All I know is at the end of the day, I want to make a heroic pose while attacking with elemental heroes.

That is all.

Edit: Maybe I'll find out I have a dark backstory as an evil king that completely fucks up the rest of the cast for a bit, and then goes into maximum depresso mode. Or I superpoly myself with the arch villian.

Because Thats how romance works.

jk

[Grey]

Thank you! I appreciate it a lot.
Hmmm.
Right now I'm leaning towards:
A chaos deck
A dragon Deck
Or a Rock deck.
Will look them up in the morning. For now I am beat @@

@malmshodes

If you still want a rebellion theme, the dragons or chaos ones work since Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon is, wouldn't have guessed it, a dark dragon.

Also this was just an excuse to shamelessly plug another really niche rebellion-themed card: yugipedia.com/wiki/Rebellion

[The Red Seelie]

Its like everyone forgets that the gimmick that is "Huge Revolution" exists. Trueky the greatest rebellion.

@Grey

The rebellion card is closer to what i was originally going for like iui would be a combination of cards to take control of other monsters and cards with a religious theme like the forbidden cards, and the fallen angel ones,but eh. It kind of got complicated ^^

[Ammokkx]

cards with a religious theme

Shame The Curemaster can't cure Society

That's what Heroes do

@1Charak2

Societies are faulty because humans are, and no human can fix that. Terribly sorry.

Now I can't wait for anyone to fc the OG Dian Keto here.

Here's a dumb but relevant question for you all:

Names. Do we go with the "Everyone is Japanese" thing or what? I genuinely kinda hate how the dubs change sick-ass names like Takeru Homura to fuckin' Theodore Hamilton and thus have kind of a natural predisposition against anything that doesn't sound Japanese. That being said, I'm not exactly gonna force anyone to adopt that philosophy themselves; I'm mostly just worried about the narrative dissonance of having names like "Umiko Hanetsugu" in the same five meters of "Anthony Dwight"

[Grey]

I was gonna app weeb

[ItMeGritty]

Here's what we do

We all pick weeb names

Then replace them with localized names

[Amaranthine]

I cast my vote to the majority. I don't really mind.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I'll vote for weeb names.

:^)

@Ammokkx

I'm down to do Weeb names since that seems to be the majority opinion, but I personally prefer the English because I'm most used to the Dubs (Which had good names for the main casts and villains) and I'm a fake weeb who prefers dubs in general because voice actors need work.

[Ammokkx]

because I'm most used to the Dubs

@webboysurf

alright you're banned from the rp
