@Ambra I hesitated at first, but you know what? I can't even remember the last time I took part in an FF RP, so screw it, I'm in.

As for character ideas. First thing that comes to mind is draw from the old faithful Monk/Brawler well. If possible, though, I'd like to throw in a talent for grabbing random objects from the environment and swinging them wildly or just chucking them people as a form of improvised weapon attacks. Ever play the Yakuza games? I'm thinking something along those lines would be fun to mess around with.
In the playing field of a certain private academy, the final seconds of an intense Soccer game ticked down like the timer of a bomb. The home team for this game was in the lead, 3-0. The visiting team was about suffer a devastating shut out unless they could pull off a last minute shot. The ball was in their control, having been kicked to the away team's Captain as he prepared his last shot. The home team had become mostly relaxed, knowing full well there was no way they could possibly lose. Well, all except for at least one of them. A certain player came dashing for enemy captain and swept right under him, throwing him off balance and effectively stealing the ball from him.

"Over here!" cried a teammate who was a bit further down field, but a few enemy players were already moving to prevent a pass, desperation making them fight harder than ever. The indigo-haired player with the ball chose instead to disregard his teammate and instead take a "calculated long-shot" at the goal. The other team's goalie was apparently caught off guard by this and was unable to dive for the ball fast enough. The buzzer sounded the end of the game, final score: 4-0.

Later, in the home team's locker room, the players were all changing out of their Soccer uniforms into their normal clothes. But just as the indigo-haired player finished dressing himself and putting his glasses on, his team's captain suddenly forcibly turned him around. He looked angry.

"What the hell was that, Kougawa?" asked the Captain with a livid tone, "You ignored a perfectly good pass and stole the glory for yourself? Or did you forget this was supposed to be a team sport?"

The player, Kougawa Ando, said nothing. At least at first. Instead he just glanced down at his captain's hand as if merely expecting him to let go. He and the Captain did not get along. Namely because, despite being Captain, the captain himself was not the Ace on the team, Kougawa was. And that fact angered the team's captain to no end.

"You arrogant bastard! Think you're too good to answer your Captain when he addresses you?" the Captain fuming, his free hand clutched into a fist, and he did make a lunging move as if to throw a punch. But unfortunately, Kougawa had always been good reading the movements of his opponents on the soccer field, and this was hardly any different. Kougawa suddenly ducked down and swept the captain's legs, sending down to the floor.

"They swarming him right from the start you fool." said Kougawa in a blunt, matter-of-fact tone, "Besides, my accuracy is superior anyway, so why bother risking someone else taking the shot and missing?"

"What would it have mattered?" asked one of the other players, "I mean... we were gonna win no matter what, right?"

"Tch, idiot." said Kougawa, "One who becomes complacent becomes the first to be caught off guard." there was his usual ruthlessness. He wanted to crush the opposing team, dominate the game regardless of how assured victory was.

"Damn you, Kougawa!" shouted the Captain, his buttons thoroughly pushed. Everyone knew the Captain would have thrown Kougawa off the team long ago, but couldn't, the coach wouldn't allow it due to how strong a player he was and how many wins he helped them get. But it looked like his patience had run out and he was lunging for another punch of some kind. But this little altercation never concluded. Golden rings appeared at Kougawa's feet and the captain's fist would have ended up punching the empty air were he once stood.
@Double

Yes. GMing is guiding people, even if that means just riding their ass to get posts in a reasonable time frame. And when you can't even abide by your own frame, it's not entirely the player's fault for their interests wandering off when by all accounts this RP looked dead at conception.

I'm just gonna go and delete my CS cause clearly this isn't going anywhere.


When did I break my own rule? Fucking when? As I just pointed out, I WAS WAITING FOR YOU! ALL OF YOU WHO CLAIMED TO BE WORKING ON CHARACTERS AND WOULD "POST THEM SOON". Well I'm so sorry for being nice and patiently waiting. Next time I'll just be a despicable asshole from the start if that's what the morons on this site would prefer.
To be fair the GM should bear some responsibility in checking in on people. Even just bumping the OOC after a week would have been sufficient.


Really? I have to babysit players into posting their characters and stand over them like some kind of slave driver? And oh hey, by the way, I DID bump the thread and call everyone out. How do you think this argument started in the first place? Because you all were sure as shit not going to get off your loins it seems.

I was literally the last one to say something. You yourself hadn't said anything until 11 days later and came back with such a disgusting attitude.


I was waiting for you, genius. You don't tell a gm you'll post a character at X time and then leave them hanging. That's just plain rude and the more you try to deny your part of the guilt in this the bigger of an asshole you make yourself to be. So just stop trying to justify yourself because you're failing miserably.

"Probably". That's not a lie. The thread went dead after my comment and didn't want to waste my time if it had died.


Bullshit. If the thread went dead then it was because asshats like you decided to vanish without a fucking word. So don't you dare try to act like you aren't at least partially to blame.
@Inkarnate There's no deadline. People showing interest only to vanish into the aether without a word is a super pet peeve of mine that infuriates the crap out of me. That's all.
@Lonewolf685 And I appreciate that.

@Kal-El@King Kindred So um... what were the words the both of you used? "Crafting a character we speak" and "I'm probably posting mine today"? So tell me, please, were those just lies or something? I'd just absolutely love to know.
Ahem...

7. Please please please inform me if real life requires you to be absent for an extended period. I've lost too many games due to player disappearances and only getting the silent treatment when I try to reach out. I'd rather it not happen here.


I wrote this rule for a reason people. I don't like getting the cold shoulder. If shit happens, then shit happens, but I at least would like to be kept in the loop if nothing else.
