Kingdom Hearts: Arcana

Kingdom Hearts: Arcana

Original Concept by:
Takushi Rena on KHInsider Forums

Adapted by:
Ryuzaki

I'm assuming since you're here you know something about Kingdom Hearts. But dont worry, if you dont you can always take a dive into the heart of the wiki to learn everything you need to know! Link ---> khwiki.com

Premise

This is an AU RP to Kingdom Hearts 1 where Riku and Sora went missing, causing the two keyblade wielders who had the power to stop the darkness to vanish. Beyond that I want this RP to be pseudo-player-driven, giving the feeling that its "sandbox" but still having goals and plot along the way that must be reached. Your characters can come from anywhere, even original worlds.

Rules

1. Literacy is a MUST, but you do not have to have perfectly written posts.
2. No godmoding!
3. No powerplaying! Powerplaying is only acceptable if you allow someone else to control your character. (You can add a list of people who can control your characters on your template, if you like!)
4. Keep your posts' content PG-13. Swearing and the sort are allowed but try to use it in appropriate situations.
5. No mary-sues/gary-stus. Nobody's perfect and that applies to characters, too. If you have a mary-sue character, your template will be denied, but you can fix up the problems and always try again!
6. No Keyblades! The only characters who may wield Keyblades in this roleplay are Sora, Terra, Aqua, Ven, and King Mickey. (Possibly Master Eraqus and possibly Master Xehanort, too, but no other incarnations of Xehanort can wield Keyblades. I may also accepted Roxas and Xion, but please ask me first. All of these characters are iffy to me.) I will not accept any other characters, canon or original, who wield Keyblades.

I'm usually down for a Kingdom Hearts roleplay, more so for AUs. I'm interested, but is there anything else we should know? KH 1 setting, Sora and Riku mysteriously vanish. Any new forces at work? As for "original worlds," did you mean characters from different media, like anime, movies, books?

@Volenvradica

Yes, actually. Ansem is there as usual, but in addition to him a few other surprises will be along the way.

@Volenvradica

I was thinking more along the lines of worlds you create designed like Hollow Bastion or Twilight Town specifically for your character, but if you can make a good CS for a character from a reasonable movie/anime/book I might accept it... (Chances are lower than a fully original character or Canon character)

[FantasyChic]

Now I have played Kingdom Hearts (only 1 and 2 though) so I know a good deal of the lore. What does AU mean?

Either way I am interested in this.

[Draconilian]

Okay, So I'm willing to put forward two character sheets, one for an OC and one for a Canon, if the Canon will be accepted, I'll use that. (Neku Sakuraba from TWEWY)

Played all the KH games besides 3D and Coded, but am a bit lore rusty. Are MC's keyblade wielders? or original weapons and such, can work with both.

[StarBoi]

interested

[Savo]

Haven't played KH in a while, but I might be interested in this rp... maybe... no promises considering I still have to get another app up for an rp that I have yet to completely finish .__.

[Ryuzaki]

@FantasyChic AU stands for Alternate Universe

@Draconilian I would accept Neku. As stated above, only Sora, Terra, Aqua, and Ven (Master Xehanort, Master Eraqus, Roxas, and Xion are also possible but less likely to be accepted) may have Keyblades. If you play one of those characters you can have a keyblade but they all have something that, kinda, you know, keeps them in check. Sora is gone, Terra is Xehanort and in turn Ansem and Xemnas, Ven is sleeping in Castle Oblivion and Aqua is in the Realm of Darkness.

@Xikari chan Welcome aboard!

@Savo Hope you decide to stick around :P

Has Goofy and Donald also gone missing? The answer to that will affect my character choice.

Basically, my thought is to play as Goofy's son, Max. A knight-in-training, Max will have swiped one of Goofy's spare shields and left Disney Castle on his own to search for his missing dad.

[Fabricant451]

Does this mean Aqua is a character that could be played?

@Double

I'm gonna say that if you use your second character slot for Goofy, you can decide where he is at. Just be aware, this will keep you from having a second character.

Does this mean Aqua is a character that could be played?

@Fabricant451

YES! Definitely. All you need to do is find a reasonable story as to how she got out of the Realm of darkness. This could be done by your second character going there and saving her coincidentally or you could come up with story to have her out at the start of the RP.

@Ryuzaki

I'm perfectly willing to do that. Multiple characters aren't usually my forte anyway. What will that mean for Donald, however? It's unlikely Goofy could have gone anywhere without him...

[Double]

Name: Max Goof

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Weapon: Shields
Equipped: Knight's Shield

Abilities

Rebound: Shield-throw attack that inflicts multiple hits as the Shield ricochets off of enemies.
Iron Impact: Shield is moved from arm to under the feet in midair followed by a downward stomp that generates a small shockwave.
Goofy Tornado
Goofy Turbo
Goofy Charge
Rocket
Goofy Bash
Damage Control

Appearance

Hider

Personality: Max is noticeably more intelligent than his father, but also tends to be a bit more abrasive and aggressive, especially while fighting enemies. While he does love his father and wants nothing more than to become a knight like him, Max also dreads becoming too much like Goofy, and so he often tries to overcompensate by actively avoiding doing clumsy things, usually feeling very embarrassed whenever he does act clumsily. Apart from all of this, Max is every bit a good person and loyal to the King like his dad is.

Bio: Max spent the better part of childhood watching his dad practice and train, soon enough picking up a shield of his own as soon as he was big enough to do so. Max was a quick study, able to learn many of Goofy's signature techniques and even began working on a couple of his own. It wouldn't be long before Max was able to stand at Goofy's side as a Knight of Disney Castle. Before that could ever happen, though, the King mysteriously vanished, leaving behind only a letter instructing Goofy and Donald to go out and find a "key". Naturally, the two followed orders and left Disney Castle immediately. This event pushed Max's knighthood forward, him being allowed to act as Captain in Goofy's absence so that the Castle would not be left undefended. The Queen seemed to have faith in him, anyway, despite his inexperience.

Some time after they departed, a weary and exhausted Donald returned to the Castle, and he did not bring good news with him. He reported that he and Goofy had indeed found the "key" - a boy named Sora - but after they traveled with him for a time, the Darkness began to overpower them, with Donald being the only one who managed to escape. As for Sora and Goofy, their whereabouts and well-being became unknown. Unable to accept that his dad could be gone, an angry Max took one of the Knight's Shields and snuck away from Disney Castle under cover of night, his only mission now was to find his dad and bring him home safe.

Other: While Max is indeed a skilled knight-in-training, he is technically still in training. He's not a full-fledged knight yet, and as such he lacks Goofy's experience. He also somewhat lacks his dad's sturdiness, Goofy having shown himself more than capable of enduring otherwise crippling blows with little more than minor injuries to show for it.

I'm gonna put up an OOC in an hour or so. I'll edit a link in here -->

[Demous]

Is there still room?

[Section]

I'm curious as well if there's still room, this could be good fun. Please note however that I haven't played KH in ages, though I could definitely brush up on the wiki.

[FantasyChic]

So I see that Max is a character, that's pretty cool. Does this mean we can do other Disney characters? Or Final Fantasy characters if we want? I am probably going to go the OC route, but I am curious.

[Ryuzaki]

@Demous@Section There is still room yes.

@FantasyChic Yes! You can definitely use existing Disney and Final Fantasy characters.

Side note, did I say an hour, looks like I lied :P Like 10 minutes to 16 hours :P
