Kingdom Hearts: Overwhelming Light

[Darkmoon Angel]

@Dragonfly 9 Are all heartless available, or can we only start as the lesser ones? Because I’m guessing it would be too much to start off as something like Dark Inferno.

Yep! They just have to look like canon Heartless, though there are more options than just the Shadow ones.

Aight! Probably gonna make the OOC soon! Does anyone also want a Discord server? Not thinking about that a whole lot right now; I'm just curious and wanna see if having a Discord would be preferable to you guys.

@Dragonfly 9

I think that a Discord server might be good eventually, if we continue or we find that easier, but I also believe that it is perfectly okay to have an OOC discussion board here as well ^.^

I can't wait for it to be up.

@Darkmoon Angel

Yeah, let's stick to the lesser ones right now.

@Eveekitten

And alright! I'll get it up probably tomorrow in the late afternoon, Wednesday, or the weekend.

So given the timeloop aspect of the Org of Light's operations, how crazy are things going to get as far as resets and such during the actual run of the RP? That part of it feels a bit... convoluted?

@Wayward

Not entirely sure, but I think that the time loops could either not set back to the beginning at all(because it isn't ten years in the loop yet), or, if they do, it's because of the hero group doing things such as helping the worlds' residents remembering life before the loops, and trying to get Sora and Riku back by figuring out how the loops could get under their control/weaponized against the Org of Light. The Org of Light would then try to reset things back to the beginning of the loops, so the hero group doesn't mess with the worlds "being in their peak of light". The hero group would still remember everything, though, and maybe, due to their actions, the world residents start to remember things that "they shouldn't" as well.

Does that make sense? Also, this whole thing is gonna be highly based on your characters' choices, though I'll definitely have to figure out they would be able to make the world residents start remembering life outside of the loops.

@Dragonfly 9

Still a bit foggy. Maybe it's for not seeing it in action, but it just seems like it would be simpler for the 'resets' to not involve the timelooping and be more of the Org of Light steadily working to reform the barriers between worlds a la KH1. Granted that impacts the nature of the Resistance as it would have a more even footing with the Org. Prior concepts of "KH but the Light side is Evil" I've seen tend to work within the realms of Sora and company establish a new world order that eventually becomes overzealous in its effort to maintain balance to the point that it starts overcorrecting.

In terms of your vision, is the Org a group that essentially traveled back in time and undid the events of the core series games?

Hello! I saw your interest check, and I'm willing to join if there's room still! Let me address things one by one:

1. I am quite captured by the concept of an "Anomaly" - Makes me wonder to what extent they manage to retain their former memories. Heck, it could even be that they know something is wrong, despite being unable to put their finger on it. Because, much like how the series works, they couldn't wipe out what mattered to them the most from their heart/soul, nor the bonds that linked them with other people.

2. I agree that the time loop may sound a bit convulted in execution, but I don't know if you did it on purpose, it kind of explains why Sora & company experience most of the worlds from Kingdom Hearts 1 as if their stories were being told for the first time (with the exception of Olympus Colosseum seeing as it appeared in BBS prior to the events of the first game).

3. It'd be fine to conduct the roleplay either through discord or the forums. Presumably the former since it allows for more reliable communication and ease of organization.

4. Is an age-range expected? Considering the majority of the main cast from Kingdom Hearts are all comprised by young teenaged characters to those in their early adulthood.

5. Moreover, is there a level of experience in-game to be expected, like being a Master if we wanted to be, for example, or should we hope to acquire more skill as we progress?

I must also clarify my knowledge of Kingdom Hearts is relatively limited, in spite of being a long-time fan of the franchise, I am not entirely familiar with X/UX/Dark Road/Missing Link. Otherwise, I can hold my ground pretty well!

[Dragonfly 9]

@Wayward@TRES Regarding the time loops, everything in the games still happened, and the worlds without time loops are definitely in the far future, and all look like it as well! The events of all the games still happened; it's just that the Org of Light somehow rewinded time to a certain period(KH1) for almost all the worlds, and the resetting after ten years is just time going back to that certain time period. Think of it as if the Org of Light trapped almost all the worlds in snow globes, and when the protagonists break them, the worlds go back to how they were before the Org of Light made the time loops(so way after KH3 and its DLC, basically).

If that still makes no sense, tell me and I'll see what I can do. I might have to figure it out/get some ideas from you guys if this is all too confusing, to be honest.

@TRES

1. I think I'm gonna leave that up to you guys, but if any of you have an idea for the standard of Anomalies remembering things and the rest of you guys think it's a good standard, I'm okay with that as well!

3. Yeye! That's why I asked.

4. None of the canon characters will be available until later on in the story, given the whole time loop thing.

5. You're all going to acquire more skill as you progress.

Final Thing: You're good, dude! I'm nowhere near a Kingdom Hearts lore master, either! And yeah, you can join!!

[CERO76]

Sure thing! Just let me know when we'll gather on Discord!

[Dragonfly 9]

Aight, I probably will make it sometime tomorrow, before making and putting up the OOC.

[Little Bird]

@Dragonfly 9

Are we restricted to only playing as Resistence fighters?

[Dragonfly 9]

Hmm...gonna have to think about that. Might do that if everyone else wants to be a Resistance fighter.

[Eveekitten]

I will begin working on my character as soon as I get off of work, I'm still excited for this one.

[Eviledd1984]

@Dragonfly 9

I'd be intersted in joining if theirs room for one more?

Yeah, dude! Come on board! :D

Sorry for not releasing the OOC today, guys! I've been busy for a bit, and Indi(my kitten) has woken me up early in the morning a lot of times throughout the week, so I feel kinda tired and dizzy, to be honest. I'll try to get it up soon, though!

@Dragonfly 9

Cool, do you mind if I DM you a character idea I had? And I hope ya feel better.

[Little Bird]

My main question is whether we'll be allowed to play as Org members in thud too.

Like, if there's an anomaly character that's discovered and they're so inclined to join the cause of the Org of Light, would they be allowed to join?

@Wayward

I think so, though I want to know if you want to track down the members of the rebellion if your character does join the Org.
