Medabots RP

[Jerkchicken]

This has my interest

[Prostagma]

@edgeout You do realize that all medabots demonstrably have personalities in the show, right? Not just the ones with rare medals.

Additionally I was asking for clarification from @mattmanganon on whether this was the game setting or the anime setting. The two have several distinct differences.

@Prostagma

That is true. I guess the medal becomes trivial by this point. So, why not have a "rare metal" XD
If not in anime setting it doesn't matter, there is no such thing as a "rare medal" anyway~

[Jerkchicken]

Bruh you're trying way too hard with the special snowflaking.

Okay so let me get this straight. You want a special medal that the Medabot Company, for some completely unexplainable reason, gifts to everyone working on it even though that would be counterproductive in keeping their new product both rare and hidden. A new and improved version of the thing the world revolves around is definitely not the same as a grandfather clock. This rare medal of yours would also not be the actual rare medals that are already part of the anime setting, and exist entirely to make your character special and different.

You say you can patch up any plot hole about having this medal when your ideas thus far have been deemed cheap even by your partner and amount to "his dad gave it to him somehow because he works there". Ikki found his after it was stolen by a plot device character that's a master thief and also the best medafighter with one of the best medabots. Ikki also found it because he's the protagonist of a story designed around telling his and Metabee's journeys, while this is a collaborative writing exercise.

As Prostagma and I have said, other medabots have personalities. Off the top of my head, Krosserdog ran away from home and Peppercat shows romantic attraction and they're about as dirt normal medabots as you get. If the setting doesn't have rare medals, then there's absolutely no reason why you should get a new type of unique medal you made up and can't justify. If the setting has the anime rare medals, then there's also no reason to have one except to bump your powerlevel over others who don't because that's the lone difference.

Lets just call it quits on the rare medal thing, can't really say well for the anime as it has been years since I saw it but for all I care it could be some discount medal if it did not really serve any plot relevance and as we(?) do not plan to use it to get some Meda-Saiyan powers it's not like it matters.

Even I know this is just bull

[mattmanganon]

@Prostagma I was planning for a Show-like setting.

Also, sorry for not posting last night, got side-tracked, then dogged by a friend into playing LoL until 1AM. I realize that that is a shit excuse, as such, I do not ask forgiveness. I will try to get it done today.

Don't sweat it. this stuff happens.

@Zero Hex

I agree that it is a collab experience. I still can vouch for the "rare medal". However if all you guys are going to go apeshit about a made up thing. Then sure. We won't incorporate the medal. LOL

Also I dare your bot to be the headless horseman.

[Windicator]

@edgeout I'm not saying this in mean spirit but now that I look at it objectively, if we really did get rare medal, what would really make it worth the differentiation? Is it about the novelty of having one or being special? It was established before that there won't be such power shenanigans.

[edgeout]

@Windicator It was just for the sake of unique personality. Even after re watching couple of the Medarot anime, I still couldn't find a bot that was as independent as Metabee. Sure they were all able to have some personality, but most, if not all, were submissive to their masters.

I just wanted to give you more independence is all. Like how you don't have to agree with what my kid says, and sometimes we can get in a bout. It would be a great story for character development and such. And ofc we won't do the whole "my medal's evolving" type of deal.

On a side note I want to play a Medarot game for english, any suggestions? I want like the most recent one. It can be a fan translated, so long as it works. Otherwise I'll just play Medabot Ax X3

[mattmanganon]

I am afraid that I am just 15 minutes late of my goal of having it up yesterday, but it is finally here.

[Prostagma]

@edgeout I'm pretty sure that independence stemmed less from the rare medal and more Metabee being kind of a giant asshole. Most of the other characters were best friends with their medabots, so it's understandable why they'd be more loyal and willing to take orders. I mean, Warbandit had a rare medal and he had pretty much zero personality and just followed orders to the letter.

@Prostagma

That's not true. A medarot's personality comes from the medal, not the body parts, hence your first part of the argument is not sound. Secondly, Ikki clearly states in the first episode of the anime that "Medarots should obey their master". However Metabee gets angry and shoots bullets at Ikki. You could see the shop keeper ask himself is the "rare medal" inside Medabee that makes him strong? However he turns aside after seeing the rebellious robot and says, "It's just a prototype." Inferring that Medabee's medal had a personality resembling closer to human that was taken out from the other robots. That, I would argue is independence, and the ability to act out on its own.

Furthermore it's understandable why the Medabot company would have taken out "independence" or the abillity to rebel out of their newer medals - it would be a nuisance to the Medafighters. That's why I insisted on having a "rare medal". Anyone arguing why, my kid shouldn't have the rare medal is not going to change what it did for Medabee's personality.

However, if we assume we are playing a version based off the game, we don't need to worry about that. I can give my robot partner, all the freedom s/he wants. I just wanted to give a reason for an independent nature of my kid's robot.

Lastly to put the argument "it is safely locked up" down. Look at the anime and how "lucky" Ikki got. HE literally thought the rare medal was 500yen. It doesn't really make sense as to how he found the "rare medal" as well. Hence my argument for the kid's dad giving his child a "rare medal" is more reasonable than a happy coincidence, which I can also make up for my kid.

Either way, since you guys, for one reason or another, strongly don't want the incorporation of rare medals whether out of fear or jealousy, I won't incorporate it. This is the LAST TIME I am going to mention "rare medal". I'm tired of arguing for an RP that hasn't even started yet. I suggest you guys do the same, and focus on your own characters. The thread is already made.
