Yu-Gi-Oh! RP?

[Scarifar]

Las Vegas is so cold.... (flashback to horrible "vacation" to Las Vegas) But acceptable.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Vegas or something similar could work. YGO takes place in a pseudo-alternate reality, so try to get a different name for that or something? And yeah, it was Duelist Kingdom.

[DreadPirate]

What about Reino rico? It's Italian for "Wealthy Kingdom"

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I guess that name could work...?

[DreadPirate]

I mean I don't really know what to call it...

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Well, names are always hard. I think the name works well enough, so using it doesn't seem too out there. Is there anything else you wanted to get to?

[Haru Nyan]

Card games? In Vegas? I'm down with that. Now, time to start creating a character...As soon as I get home.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I am snowed in here, so expect me (with literally nothing but work due next week) to be here constantly refreshing the page. Seriously, you can expect a response from me within 3-5 minutes of a post. I can also go work on my Star Seraph Satella char, but RP dev first, questions later.

[DreadPirate]

Ahh okay I am actually reorganizing my cards right now haha! But ummm oh! What the 5 cards should be called! And I was thinking maybe the whole Palace is holographs so you can literally duel from you bed or in the hallway?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Well, if the whole place is holograms then everyone falls through stuff. /s But uh, let's see... Let's draw upon mythology for this one. Norse is gone, Egypt is a given, Japanese have an entire archetype (aka Bujins)... Greco-Roman god based? Zeus/Juno, Hercules/Heracles, etc;? Or maybe based off of major characters from old classics, similar to what BA did with Dante except with more works? I could totally see Sun Wukong or Odysseus or Mulan as being good things to draw reference off of. Edit: And Duel Disks already do that in this day and age, given how far the series has progressed. You can even feel a bit of pain from taking a hit and all that. Holograms aren't even necessary for the room itself- duel disks present them on their own.

[DreadPirate]

Oh no sorry that came out wrong! I mean like under the floors everywhere are duel monster holograph projecting platforms like you can walk around with your favorite monsters and stuff? And I love the Dante, Mulan, Odysseus idea. Lets do heroes of Mythology or Literature?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Yeah, that could work. But not Dante. As I've said, we've already got a Dante. He's a big reason as to why Burning Abyss is currently tier 0 in the metagame. But YES. Interacting with monsters outside of duels would be a big plus in my book. If we're going with heroes of literature, then let's go for it! You could also have villains as a counterarchetype but that's up to you.

[DreadPirate]

Okay awesome! And oh yes I was just giving him as an example and yes I am thinking 1 anti-hero 2 heroes and 2 villains?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

I guess that could work. Compiling a list of them shouldn't take too long, and it's not like the cards themselves are currently top priority. I suspect they'll be important by middle of the RP, but for now we can afford to slack on that. Just note it down somewhere and you should be fine. Next topic of discussion?

[DreadPirate]

Hmm anything you can think of?

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Uh... Let's see here... I actually did have a question from before. Is anyone holding the tourney affiliated with major groups like Kaibacorp and/or Industrial Illusions and the like?

[DreadPirate]

The Khan is his own entrepreneur, however recently he has recently been sponsored by Industrial Illusions to hold this tournament and has been known to make unofficial deals with Kaiba Corp in the past. (Kind of like how the Kaiba Corp executives tried to remove Seto? Nothing that drastic but small side deals.) This is all subject to change though it is not likely.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Alright, that's alllll I needed to know. I think that should be sufficient for be base plot; we've got time (100 yrs after Battle City), location (Vegas expy), motive, submotive, host... I think that's about it. All we're missing are the players in this grand game of chess.

[DreadPirate]

Yep yep I feel like we are missing something... besides characters haha! Well if you guys think of anything let me know!

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Well, you're missing a map of the place, I guess. We're going to be wandering around most of the time otherwise lol. That being said, ETA to completion?
