Okay, I have a problem, and it's that the RP as it is right now is too slow, a player has quit (Saint), and another one (Renose) appears to have personal problems (yes, I stalked his profile). The rest of us can post, but, well, that doesn't hide the fact that there are other problems in the RP.
Bio, I'm really, really sorry to say this, but:
1.) the RP is fairly generic; there are some attempts at originality here and there, but, well, they don't...mesh together. As in, the setting of the RP is more like a chop suey of 'things that sound cool', instead of a coherent setup.
2.) The enemies are fairly weak; sorry to say this, but every named enemy not run by Joshua is easily beaten, and do not live up to the hype. More to the point, they hardly have enough personality whatsoever.
3.) The 'acting' of the NPCs is bland and generic, as in, we're supposed to believe the Disney characters have their canon characterizations, but they don't appear to. More to the point, why just Disney Worlds? Shouldn't there be more variety?
Which is why, I guess, I'm not feeling this anymore; I love Kingdom Hearts, but, well, I guess I want to play another game entirely, to make my own game and play it, especially as this one feels so sluggish.
And I actually have another idea, below:
Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse
Long ago, there was One World, One Earth, and One Timeline, a world filled with Darkness and Light in unequal measures, with a greater proportion of Darkness to Light. This world, thought many, was doomed to fall, until one Hero delved into the secrets of the Light. He discovered that said Light flowed from an unseen land by the name of Kingdom Hearts, and that if he could just burst the barrier that seperated this world from this source of Light, he can save the timeline.
And so, he did...but with unforseen consequences. For what was once one world was separated to many, each with varying levels of Light and Dark. Now, any possibility for Earth to change, even the 'absurd' and 'impossible' ones, now sprang off into its own timeline, creating, for the first time, a Multiverse. The weapon the Hero used to create the Multiverse is called the X-Blade (Pronounced Key-Blade), and, seeing the consequences of his actions, the Hero shattered it into several pieces.
However, it was too late; the people of the various timelines saw, nay, knew, what had been done to them, and so created Lesser Keyblades in the shape of the X-Blade, so as to attempt to search for, and dominate, Kingdom Hearts. But, because of their hubris and ambition, they all failed, killing each other off except for a few repentant surviors, who swore off any attempt to dominate the Multiverse, and instead, chose to preserve it.
In time, the people of the Multiverse forgot about The Hero, the X-Blade, and the survivors of the Keyblade Wars, and slipped into complacency, thinking that their worlds were the only true ones. And so, centuries of peace and development passed. Then, one day, on the world of Shining Field, a Scholar in the House of Wisdom discovered the secrets of the Past, of the Light...and Darkness.
Only a few years after that, Shining Field burned, destroyed by an onslaught of Heartless, strange, black monsters with yellow eyes, who were resistant to most mortal weapons, and who, after destruction, merely reformed in another part of the world to continue their rampage. The Heartless consumed the majority of the inhabitants, man, woman, and child, before turning upon the Heart of the World, its Core of Light.
After that, more worlds burned in quick succession, as Heartless began emerging everywhere, like an unchecked plague. Not merely that, but there were hints that the Heartless were...guided, controlled by an unseen intelligence. Not merely that, but strange beings, called the Nobodies, also emerged, sometimes fighting the Heartless, sometimes conquering their own stretches of territory.
And the Keyblade Order...was nowhere to be seen.
But there is hope: Creatures called Moogles have appeared throughout the worlds, offering trade links, technology and magic that would give the worlds a fighting chance against the Heartless, and finally, ships that can connect to other worlds. In addition to this, people from all over the world with strong hearts have begun manifesting Keyblades of their own, weapons that are super-effective at killing Heartless, preventing them from reconstituting elsewhere. Now, the worlds prepare to strike back, and find out who is behind this strange onslaught on the Multiverse...
-------
If you found that too long to read, then here's a summary:
Strange creatures called Heartless are taking over the worlds, the Moogles have come to save us through the power of trade, and people are spontaneously manifesting the Keyblade, a weapon that kills Heartless in droves. Also, there's Magic. And Technolgy. Sometimes a combination of both. Oh, and instead of Disney-based worlds, you get to travel to alternate timelines.
1.) No Godmoding or Powergaming, aka no controlling other players' actions, no defeating your enemy in one shot, and no shrugging of all hits without a magical shield. 2.) Any consenting relationship between people of the same age group is allowed, whether it's Homosexual or Hetrosexual. If you cannot stand such things, don't post here in the first place. 3.) You can be, sigh, villainous, but not psychotic. Your character must be able to work with others, even if its just to use them as meatshields or pack mules. 4.) At the same token, I'd like there to be at least one good-alinged, intelligent, competent, and somewhat diplomatic person in the group. 5.) Be polite to others. 6.) Yes, you can play an alien if he/she/they are not overpowered. 7.) New Rule: All players must come from a universe with Humans. It can be as unrealistic as you want, but it must be 1.) coherent, and 2.) have at least some baseline Humans. 8.) New Rule: Final Fantasy Magic works everywhere except when Final Fantasy Anti-Magic is applied.
Character Sheet Name: Appearance: Bio: Age: Skills: Personality:
World Sheet Name: Summary of History: Important Nations (Great Powers, etc.): Overall Technology Level: Map: Optional; don't hesitate to add your world just because you don't yet have a map!
I don't think it's the best setting, but it allows for more worlds, more choices, and more enemies and creativity.
Sorry if I sound over-critical, please forgive me.
More Edits: I got permitted to use Precipice of War as one of the worlds!
@Letter Bee If you are going to create a new Kingdom Hearts RPG, and considering that this RPG is currently not accepting new members (Note: I do not harbor any negative feelings towards this RP because of this); I would be happy to join your RP if you don't mind a relative beginner (I.e. One post on this forum, but I have roleplayed before) Although my RPing ability would lead to most of my posts being of a low casual standard, and I might not be able to post at times... (Note: However, I have spent the last two hours looking for a Kingdom Hearts RP, so not only am I interested, I am most likely, ever-so slightly obsessed. *eyetwitch*)

Thank you for being interested; I almost gave up hope that this RP Idea would get off the ground!
@Letter Bee No problem, although I am concerned that my posting here might be disruptive of the RP. Should we move this conversation elsewhere? I wouldn't want to be disrespectful to the players of this RPG :/
