[OOC] Makeshift Reality: An Aincrad Roleplay

[Kirisuna]

Okay so here it is, the OOC. As I stated earlier there will be a loosely fitting post order so the story doesn't run away from us. As for the story basically it's starting on launch day and each character is free to narrate their part as desired. But I think it has yet to be decided exactly where the story is going to start time wise. But anywho, here's the OOC so that we can start hashing out characters and work out the kinks. As for the character tree, I think something quite simple will suffice for me, if you want to add anything feel free.

Might I suggest you edit in a Skills and Type section? I think we should all have different skills and types so we can work as a team more efficiently.

Works for me! There's the tree everyone! (even though I think only me and you are online right now Drummer) I'll work on my character in a bit. I'm stalking this LoZ RP right now.

[DaDrummer676]

I'm making my character now. In the game will they switch to their real appearances or no?

[Kirisuna]

I was thinking they would, to keep to the storyline and all

[DaDrummer676]

So then we won't need the Avatar appearance then right?

[Kirisuna]

Technically no, I just added it in as an extra thing.

CS is up and in the character tab :)

@Kalas Brought up an interesting idea in the Interest Check about time-skipping and skipping floors. Personally I hate time skipping significant chunks of time in an RP because then have to spend a lot of time playing catch up on what happened during the time skip and changes it made to your character personally it was one of the things I hated most about the anime, skipping the opportunity to actually develop concept and character in favour of story progression. I know, I'm an awful person and what kind of person plays a roleplay of an anime they don't like? I love the concept, I beleive it was poorly executed. I understand that we want to avoid people getting bored because we got to floor five and there are 95 to go so perhaps an option would be to simply make less floors? Since they only get to floor 75 anyway and only really visit a few floors in depth.

[Kalas]

Like I said, my idea was merely a suggestion. We don't have to follow it to the letter. But that said, I still think time-skipping will be necessary to prevent this RP from dying even if we lowered the floor count. Besides, we can always elongate the time it takes to actually clear a floor. Just because I stated 3-5 floors, I didn't mean we'd be blasting through those floors in a week or two (RL Time). If it took us 6 months of real time to roleplay through 5 floors, wouldn't that be long enough to explore your character and their relationships before a time-skip takes place?

EDIT:

My CS is posted.

[Kirisuna]

I agree with Kalas about time skipping being a viable option, but we can work it out so everyone is happy as well. Like Kalas said we can pay a lot of attention to these floors and it won't be a quick roleplay by any means. But going floor by floor doing the same things can get rather tiresome, so I have to agree with him there.

Also, everyone's CS's look great!

[HylianRose]

I was making a CS but then my computer decided it'd rather do an update so I'll have to get on that later. Sorry for the wait.

[Bosco]

Making a CS, tried 3 times on my phone but that wasn't happening. Making a tank!

[HylianRose]

Posted her up. She's not complete in her Personality section but most everything is there.

[Kirisuna]

It all looks good!

[DaDrummer676]

So what are we deciding on guys? 100 floors, time skips when neccesary, my ideas will be spread out into Arcs. How about to start we integrate the monsters entering safe zones, specifically the Town of Beginnings. We'll get to like, Floor 5, and then have to go back to floor 1 to help people being attacked. How about we start with a meeting on Floor 5, and all of our characters getting assigned to help the Town of Beginnings. This will be the beginning of out guild, if you guys want that to be a thing.

@DaDrummer676

I'm very much in favour of this. In regards to Guilds, I'm going to be starting my own Guild but it'll only be made up of a few, powerful members (Five at the most). Essentially, it'll be a Guild of highly skilled solo players that sell their services for a decent price, which include high-level quest running and bounty hunting. Whilst in previous roleplays, I have always made the other members NPCs, I wouldn't mind one or two actual players joining.

[Bosco]

Sounds good to me

[Kirisuna]

Hmmm not sure if I want my character to join Kalas's guild or what...hmmmm, as for Drummer's idea I too am highly favorable towards it, it sounds like a good plan! Plus then we wouldn't be starting with the same "oh no we're trapped, wait why do I look like me? OH NO WHAT DO I DO?" scenario that is most SAO roleplays.

[Bosco]

I'm ready
