FF7: SOLDIER [Big Game - Always Accepting!]

SOLDIER classes: [SOLDIER 1st Class] [SOLDIER 2nd Class] [SOLDIER 3rd Class]

Crest of the Lion It is the crest of the SOLDIER 1st Class that distinguishes them from others. The Crest of the Lion (or Lion Crest) represents Strength and Courage. The 1st Class SOLDIERs are responsible for the most important and dangerous missions. 1st Class SOLDIERs are given special privileges, such as the use of personal items, clothing, and equipment, as well as the right to deny orders assuming any responsibilities from their decisions.

Eagle Wings The 2nd Class SOLDIERs have soared above their former 3rd Class rank. The Eagle Wings represent Resilience and Perseverance. The 2nd Class SOLDIERs are the best among their 3rd Class counterparts and only those distinguished enough ever rise to 1st Class. 2nd Class SOLDIERs are leaders in charge of squads of 3rd Class SOLDIERs and Shinra Troops.

The Sun Crest The crest of the 3rd Class SOLDIER. The Sun Crest represents Passion and Beginning. 3rd Class SOLDIERs are at the beginning of their potential. 3rd Class SOLDIERs perform duties that support the Shinra Troops and their 2nd Class leadership.

SOLDIER is the elite fighting force of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Its members are advanced super soldiers with superhuman strength, speed, and ability. They are much stronger than the Shinra Peacekeeping Troops and the Turks recognized by the glow of Mako in their eyes. Shinra uses SOLDIER for special missions that require the greatest use of force. SOLDIERs in and of themselves are Shinra industrial secrets, and to prevent information from leaking outside the company walls, it is difficult for SOLDIERs to retire. Even if they are allowed to quit, the company would monitor their subsequent actions. Even if they believe they have evaded surveillance, Shinra will follow them for the remainder of their lives, and if the situation calls for it, have them terminated.

Children around the planet dream of joining SOLDIER and becoming 1st Class like several of the 1st Class SOLDIERs already known. To further increase the organization’s popularity, and as a propaganda tool, Shinra has created fan clubs for many of the 1st Class SOLDIERs.

Character Sheet Details & Explanation

The Crest will go here. I don’t have Photoshop, so if you are a person gifted with graphic design and you like this game, then feel free to make the group better crests. Until then though, the crests posted above will do. You will post the crest above your character’s profile to designate the rank you wish to have. If you choose 1st Class, then know that 1st Class SOLDIERs have the most fashion freedom. No other SOLDIERs do. They wear the standard uniform. If you choose to play a 2nd Class SOLDIER, then if anyone ever plays 3rd Class SOLDIERs, then your character will be in charge of them. Your character will be their leader and superior. Those who wish to play 3rd Class SOLDIERs enjoy character development. I look forward to seeing your character’s growth throughout the game.

Character Image goes here. Please avoid using artwork from reputable anime. I do not want to see Ichigo from Bleach in this game, a ninja from Naruto, or a pirate from One Piece. Look for Digital or Original art only if you can. You do not need to have a picture. Regardless, your writing will determine what the writer sees.

Name

This is where you will write your character’s name. You can use some fan-surnames such as “Highwind, Fair, Strife, etc.” or even surnames from other Final Fantasy games “Leonheart, Tribal, Cole, etc.” but remember that you are role playing an original creation. I would like for everyone to use a little bit of game culture such as a lot of the characters from Wutai were the ones who commonly had Asian names. You can use 1001fonts.com if you want to use fancy headers for your character’s name. Feel free to jazz-up your profile however you like with character quotes, poetry, youtube videos, etc.

Age

No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.

Date of Birth

Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.

Gender

Male or Female.

Height

There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.

Weight

Self-explanatory.

Hair Color

The hair can be any color of the rainbow with crazy highlights. It can be long, short, buzzed, faddish, etc. Pigtails, ponytails, dreadlocks, etc. You can freely describe the hair colors and hair style in this section if you want.

I skipped Eye Color because all SOLDIERs have Mako blue-green eyes.

Written Description

This is the overall description of your character from hair, build, skin complexion, tattoos, scars, clothing and accessories. You do not have to detail your character’s weapons. You will be able to do that below. Because your character has been imbued with the DNA of summons, they may show similarities in physical characteristics such as having a Moogle ball above their head if they were imbued with Mog or scales along their skin if imbued with Leviathan. These aren’t extreme characteristics. You're not making an anthropomorph.

Personality

As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. You can mention those to if you want. I’m just offering ideas. Also, if they're a 1st Class SOLDIER what do they think of their fan club? If they're a 2nd Class SOLDIER, how is their relationship with their troops? If they're a 3rd Class SOLDIER what are their goals for personal growth?

Background

Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Maybe you both decided to join SOLDIER together and have been rivals all this time? I will open a discord chatroom to make discussing these things easier for everyone. You do not have to have relations, but it does build story between characters. The main topics to answer here are: Why did your character join SOLDIER? How did your character reach the rank he or she is now? Does your character have an alias that other SOLDIERs know him or her as? Is your character loyal to Shinra or is their loyalty beginning to wane?

Summon Genome

The DNA of what summon was imbued in your character? You just state the summon's name here. You don't have to pick a summon solely from Final Fantasy 7. You can use any summon as long as it has a clear-cut spell or skill list.

Weapon

I don’t want every SOLDIER wielding the same exact weapon. Understand that there are different types of weapons at different sizes and lengths often defined using the words “great, long, or short.” You can only have ONE weapon unless it is a dual weapon. The weapon doesn't even have to be a traditional weapon. Your character could wield a fan, yo-yo, club, bat, shovel, etc. But ONE weapon. Choose wisely. SOLDIERs are capable of martial arts as Zack demonstrated in the Crisis Core anime movie. Hand-to-hand fighting can be claimed as a sole weapon. In this section if your weapon has a name, then state it. Describe the weapon. How long is it? How heavy is it? How many materia slots does it have (this is in relation to how many materia skills your character has)? How many rounds does it hold max? How fast does it fire those rounds? How many magazines does your character normally carry as spare? Are there any distinct designs on the weapon? Again, I’m giving you food for thought.

Materia

The materia you list here is related to the summon you chose. For all characters who have chosen a summon with “Instant Death,” Instant Death will not work on Mini Boss or Boss enemies. They can work on minions since many minions will be cannon fodder, but you cannot one-shot a boss. Sorry. Reference a Final Fantasy wikia to get some ideas for the materia and spells the summon uses. You should not have more than 5 skills here.

Limit Break

The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 consecutive damaging hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. It doesn't have to be themed around your SOLDIER's summon genome. It is just a signature attack or move. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.

---

The Turks act similarly to an intelligence agency or investigative bureau, engaging in reconnaissance and espionage, or even black ops, including kidnappings and assassinations, on behalf of the corporation. They are consummate professionals, adhering to the mission no matter what. Due to the nature of their job, members are privy to numerous company secrets, and as such, become security risks should they resign.

They are well-known for wearing business suits even when immersed in bloody combat. Unlike the Shinra military, Turks wield various weapons—ranging from katana to fire arms to shuriken to martial arts—each operative specializing in one type of combat, and being capable of augmenting their weapon up to 3 materia slots. Like all character roles in this game, they too have limit breaks.

Currently, the leader of the Turks, the Head of the Investigative Division and General Affairs is an open role that can be claimed by a writer. If a writer does claim this role for him or herself, then I would want there to be an alternate in case the writer disappears.

Turk Character Sheet Details & Explanation

Name

You can use 1001fonts.com to get fancy headers like the ones you see me use in designing this game. You can use them to jazz up your character's profile. Turks can have a full name or they can be named after their weapon of choice such as "Knife" or "Nunchaku." It sounds silly but these were actual names in the game.

Age

No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.

Date of Birth

Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.

Gender

Male or Female.

Height

There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.

Weight

Self-explanatory.

Hair Color

The hair can be any color of the rainbow with crazy highlights. It can be long, short, buzzed, faddish, etc. Pigtails, ponytails, dreadlocks, etc. You can freely describe the hair colors and hair style in this section if you want.

Eye Color

These are natural colors unless your character wears contacts. If they wear glasses, mention them here as well.

Written Description

This is the overall description of your character from hair, build, skin complexion, tattoos, scars, clothing and accessories. You do not have to detail your character’s weapons. You will be able to do that below. As a Turk, when on duty you have the usual unisex business suit. The colors are always dark colors from navy-blue to black. If you're role playing a female, you can choose the character having heels instead of dress shoes but all Turks where dress pants.

Personality

As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. You can mention those to if you want. I’m just offering ideas. If they aren't the Head of the Turk Department, let us know what your character thinks about the department head. This is optional if we don't have a head for the department.

Background

Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Why did your character choose to become a Turk? Did they also qualify for the SOLDIER program and just decided against it? Just offering some ideas.

Weapon

What is your Turk's primary weapon? I don't count the weapons already taken by SOLDIER members. The Turks are treated separately. However, I don't want every Turk wielding the same weapon as another Turk. nderstand that there are different types of weapons at different sizes and lengths often defined using the words “great, long, or short.” You can only have ONE weapon unless it is a dual weapon. The weapon doesn't even have to be a traditional weapon. Your character could wield a fan, yo-yo, club, bat, shovel, etc. But ONE weapon. Choose wisely. A Turk's weapon can hold up to three materia.

Materia

You can place whatever materia you want here. You only get three to include their maxed out forms such as Bolt, Bolt 2, Bolt 3. These would still be considered 1 materia "Bolt." Again, you get 3 slots.

Limit Break

The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 consecutive damaging hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.

The Security Department is in charge of the non-Mako-infused troops - The Shinra Troops. They make up majority of Shinra's military force, and are deployed more often than SOLDIER. This department has a rivalry with SOLDIER and extends challenges in the form of training sessions. The Security Department is a fallback for SOLDIERs deemed unfit to undergo Mako infusion. Within this department exists The Roboguard who was remote piloted as well as manually piloted by operators from the inside.

Rank System

The FF7 verse labels Shinra Troops as they would minions; therefore, the troops don't have a legit rank system. For this game, if the Shinra Troop are infantrymen, then use standard U.S. Army ranks. We're not going to go specifically into rank details. It'll be simple, Private and Sergeant. Their superior is the SOLDIER 2nd Class. If they are a Roboguard Operator it'll be Guardsman and Elite Guardsman. If we need to go into Navy or Air Force terms, then we'll worry about that if it ever comes up.

Shinra Troop Character Sheet Details & Explanation

Name

You can use 1001fonts.com to get fancy headers like the ones you see me use in designing this game. You can use them to jazz up your character's profile. Shinra Troops just have any ol' name.

Age

No children or grandparents please 18-40 y/o.

Date of Birth

Refer to the Game Timeline to plan a date.

Gender

Male or Female.

Height

There’s a trend where a lot of people like to make six-foot-ridiculous characters. I do not want giants in this game unless you PM me and tell me that being a giant has significance to the character’s concept. I am putting the height floor at 5’0” and height ceiling at 6’5”.

Weight

Self-explanatory.

Hair Color

Natural hair colors. Shinra Troops don't get much freedom to dye and style their hair in fancy ways.

Eye Color

These are natural colors unless your character wears contacts. If they wear glasses, mention them here as well.

Rank

Infantry: Private or Sergeant; Roboguard: Guardsman or Elite Guardsman.

Written Description

Shinra Troop are pretty military. They wear the standard Shinra Troop uniform with a helmet and scarf.
When off-duty, yes, they can wear normal clothes.

Personality

As you write a general explanation of your character’s personality, mention 3 things they like, which can be like their favorite things: cats, apples, fishing, etc. Also mention 3 things they dislike. If they have any silly habits such as nail-biting, leg-shaking, knuckle-cracking, etc. I’m just offering ideas.What are your character's goals?

Background

Some of you will probably go into depth in this section. Some of you may not. Before beginning this section, consider discussing prior relations with other writers who are also interested in this game. Maybe your character and another writer’s character were in the same village? Why did your character choose to become a Shinra Trooper? Did they qualify for the SOLDIER program and just decided against it? Just offering some ideas.

Weapons

Shinra Troops can have as many weapons on their person as deemed logical by Rule of Cool. These are standard military weapons. This is a fantasy game. Make them up.

Mecha

This is an optional category. If your character is not apart of the Roboguard, then ignore this section. Just delete it and don't even include it in your profile. However, if your character is a Roboguardsman, then you need to detail your robot here. I'm expecting some pseudoscience made up shit. What weapons does it have? How tall is it? Is it quadrupedal or bipedal? What are all of its functions? Does it fly? Does it climb? Is it fast? You should be able to answer all of these questions. You can finally give your Mecha a name.

Materia

The materia for the Shinra Troop is pretty locked tight. The materia will be Seal, Bio, and Time for all Shinra Troops.

Limit Break

The limit break is a powerful combat move and usually the character's most damaging move. While in the game, there are many different ways to activate a limit break, in this RP there are two: 1) your character takes 10 hits from an enemy or another player (yes, another player can help your character limit break but it's dangerous), and 2) if a mini boss or boss nearly kills your character, they get a "second wind" which is his or her limit break. Give your limit break a name. Describe how the attack or move is performed. Does it attack a single target? Does it attack multiple targets and if so, how many? Is it a support ability that aids the party? Describe it.

FF7: SOLDIER [Big Game - Always Accepting!]

Midgar is the capital city and power base of the Shinra Electric Power Company in the world of Gaia. This is the primary setting at the start of this role play. Midgar embodies many themes in FF7. The greedy capitalism of Shinra and the authoritarian power the company can project, the environmental disaster that faces the Planet, and how new is rapidly replacing old, displacing the lives of many people. Midgar is the most technologically advanced city on the planet. Its large circular structure is supported above the ground by 8 Mako Reactors and a central pillar with various other supports around the city. On top of the structure lies the city proper, divided into eight sectors, while underneath it lie the Midgar Slums where the poor and downtrodden make their home.

Midgar was once eight individual towns but their names have been forgotten in favor of referring to the different areas as sectors. Governed as a police state, the city is home to some of the richest and most powerful people who run most of the city’s affairs from the central Shinra Building, which dominates the cityscape. Construction of the city began in 1976 to provide residence for the Shinra Electric Power Company’s growing investment and employment base. Because of the eight Mako Reactors, the city’s massive power demands are met, but at the cost of the surrounding countryside, which has become a barren wasteland due to the city sapping the surrounding life energy. Because of this, the city and its reactors are a prime target for terrorism by rebel groups like AVALANCHE who seek to restore the planet to its former state and to stop Shinra from sapping its life energy.

Midgar is considered a technological pizza in design. Although it was previously mentioned that there are 8 sectors, there is actually a ninth sector called Sector 0 at the center of the city. Sector 0 is the central district which holds the main headquarters of Shinra. Each sector has a Mako Reactor that provides it with electricity.

The Midgar Slums, the projects beneath the plates of the rich and wealthy, can be accessed via city train or hidden paths throughout the city’s sewer system. The train can be a risky method of travel for stowaways. The train will pass through security checkpoints between each sector, and the entire train will pass through a scanner that scans the train passes of all personnel aboard. Most stowaways try to ride the train and dismount before the train reaches the security checkpoint. This illegal act has allowed for criminal types to traverse the plates of the wealthy and prosperous and cause trouble. Street gangs tend to venture to the top, rob from the rich, but they do not give to the poor. Street gangs will also target innocents of the plate and harm them through assault and nonconsensual acts. Shinra Troop actively patrol the city by foot, vehicle, or roboguard, but they can’t always stop the crimes from happening.

An AVALANCHE safe house is rumored to be in the Midgar Slums but has yet to be found.

Shinra Hierarchy

Writers can create common locations, whether they be movie theaters, restaurants, cafes, bars, fight clubs, etc. Whatever location a writer creates will be listed here for all writers to refer to. These locations will be able to be visited and appreciated by all characters. PM the GM once you create an establishment or place. I won't always see that you've done it.


Writers can create NPCs that are either well-known owners or workers of the locations listed above, or a face characters may commonly see around the city. The NPCs of writers will be listed here. PM the GM if you want to add a NPC to this list.

• Writers are free to explore the 8 (or 9) Sectors of Midgar and make what they want of them. You can create drama for yourselves, but don't try to destroy the world or Mako Reactors. Leave that sort of drama to the GM as the GM uncovers the plot.
• I expect the GM events and the free-flowing time that exists in Midgar to happen at different times of the year. Your character can be in Midgar doing a personal plot, and also in a GM event at the same time. The idea is that they happen on different dates.
• Street Gangs, Mafias, etc. are people worth adding to the "Notable Characters" list. Especially if they're a big problem.
• Font Color Discipline Again, do not use neon or somber colors. We want to be able to comfortably read your work, so don't do it.
• No Large Pics If you want to use pics to jazz-up your posts, large pictures that take up the screen are not permitted. They look very bad and they don't make your posts look better. Shrink them, link them, or hide them. If they are hidden, they still better be small.
• No OOC in the IC No OOC chatter in the IC. We have an OOC for a reason. Keep your fourth-wall dialog out of the IC. Thank you.
• Police Each Other If you see a player violating these rules, please inform them that they are doing so. If they blow you off, then tell me. I'll deal with it. That's what I'm here for. My purpose is to make sure this game moves and is enjoyable for the players. I get rid of drama queens in a heartbeat. Also be sure to let me know if we have some "Bad Ass vs The World" types of writers. You'll know them when you see them. They are obvious, and I will get rid of them.
• Cursing If you play a potty mouth character, then as a tribute to the FF7 original game, any curse word they use must be bleeped out with @@%^ (or similar gibberish). This was something that was always done in the FF7 game and we're keeping it.

Timeline

Over 2,000 years ago...

The Cetra are on their long journey to cultivate life on the Planet. A being known as "Calamity from the Skies" crashes into the Planet's northern polar on a meteor, gravely injuring the Planet. The Cetra gather at this location to heal the Planet. The Calamity from the Skies emerges from the crater bringing with it deceit and treachery as a great pestilence falls upon the Cetra and the Planet. The Planet creates six powerful Weapons to combat the Calamity from the Skies: Jade Weapon, Sapphire Weapon, Diamond Weapon, Ultimate Weapon, Ruby Weapon, and Emerald Weapon. Having nearly wiped out the entire Cetra race, the Calamity of the Skies is defeated and sealed in a geological stratum. The Weapons remain dormant in the same stratum as they have never had to act. The Cetra's numbers continue to dwindle, being swallowed up by the ever-growing human population. The Cetra assimilate into human civilization, but maintain their ancient knowledge and powers.

FF7: SOLDIER [Big Game - Always Accepting!]

Welcome to Final Fantasy 7: SOLDIER. This game follows a timeline based on a little FF7 fandom, but as you read over the timeline post you notice that none of the famed characters from the series are mentioned. The reason why is because YOU are the main characters in this tale. This game has an overall guided plot with missions that reveal pieces of the main plot as you go. There are many roles writers can take on in this game. I want writers to bring their imagination and creativity to the game without going overboard. As usual with the fandom games I run, you do not have to have played Final Fantasy 7 in order to write in this game. You just have to have a passable reading and reading comprehension ability. I know it sounds silly, but it's a deteriorating skill on this site. Because of this, I am keeping this OOC post pretty short and straight to the point. There is enough material to read.

Please be sure to read the Timeline post, which lists the events leading up to where our game begins. You can use these dates to gauge your character's age. Overall, Final Fantasy 7 is a high fantasy game. You can find all genres coexisting peacefully in this setting. Magic is cast using crystallized Mako orbs called Materia. There are various kinds of materia throughout the series that perform different functions. For a run-down of the types of materia, refer to this article: Materia.

In Final Fantasy 7, there exist special red-colored materia that allows characters to summon divine beasts. Unique to this game and unrelated to the canon, the Shinra Science Department has been conducting experiments on SOLDIER candidates and have been experimenting with the DNA of these divine beasts. By imbuing the SOLDIERs with the genes of a summon, they create a frightening bio-weapon. SOLDIERs who show distinct potential are placed into ranks: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Class. Only SOLDIERs are imbued with the summon genome and use the materia naturally granted by their parent celestial.

In Final Fantasy 7: SOLDIER, writers are allowed to make characters in multiple roles. The current playable roles are: SOLDIERs, Turks, and Shinra Troops to include Roboguard pilots and operators. I will give a brief explanation of each groups differences in regards to materia use and skills:

• SOLDIERs, in this game, use only the materia naturally granted by the summon genome they are imbued with. They will use no other materia due to power balance.
• Turks specialize in natural martial skill and advanced weaponry; however, like SOLDIERs, they are restricted to one type of combat. Their weapons can be augmented with materia up to 3 materia slots. They are often identified by their iconic unisex business suits. Currently, there is an open role for the leader of the Turk division.
• Shinra Troop are capable of using materia slotted into their gear or weaponry. The tree most common spells Shinra troop use are: Poison, Silence, and Stop. They are the infantry and the closest thing to a classic soldier specializing in multiple weapons unlike SOLDIERs and Turks who only specialize in one primary weapon. Shinra Troop also carry items that deal devastating damage such as dynamite and grenades. Some Shinra Troop are also trained Roboguard pilots and remote operators.

• Be Respectful. This game has a Discord Chat. I do not tolerate blatant or passive aggressive disrespect to any of the writers. I encourage you to avoid bringing subjects you are passionate or sensitive about into the Discord chat. If you are unable to respect others with differing opinions than yourself, then not bringing the subject up is the best deterrence to that problem. As a GM, I do my best to be respectful. I do have an assertive and military personality, because I am military. I try to avoid treating writers like soldiers, but if you see it happen, grain of salt. Seriously, take it with a grain of salt.
• Activity. We're all busy. We all have lives. But what we all don't have is patience. If you can't see yourself continuing with this game or if you see yourself as the kind of person to bail on a game that hasn't moved in seven days, then do not join this game. Usually by the seventh day, I am prodding people, but we're not going to rush people. During missions, I will often set a Posting Order (P.O.) with a three day movement period. This means if the person hasn't posted in three days, then they forfeit their turn. Again, this is only during missions to keep the game from stagnating. What your character decides to do outside of missions is up to you and your writing partners. If a player is inactive for 14 days, I will PM him or her. If a player is inactive for 30 days, I drop them from the game.
• Drama. Do not bring it here. I will be the first person to not tolerate any whining. This is a No Whining Zone. I have yet to have any problems with this in any of my games, and I like to keep it that way. It takes a group effort to facilitate a positive environment and my games mostly are full of mature and respectful individuals.
• Summons. Did someone pick the summon that you wanted, and are unwilling to give it up? I'm sorry. Choose something else. You are allowed to choose summons from other Final Fantasy games as long as they have materia/magic spells.
• Huge Pics. Scale those suckers down or link them. There is no reason why you should have a picture that takes up the entire screen.
• Neon/Somber Font Colors. If you're the type of person who likes to use colors, avoid neon colors and dark colors. Neon colors burn the retinas and dark colors cannot be seen. No one wants to strain their eyes to read your posts. If I see it, I'm going to ask you to change it. Please google "HTML Color Codes" in order to find a link to a website that gives you variety of color codes to choose from.
• Max Character Limit is 3. I want to give every writer a chance to make either of the three character roles. You can play whatever role you want more than once. However, you max out at three characters.
• NPC/Support Characters. Yes, they are allowed. Let the GM know if you create a named NPC. This named NPC has to be someone that you think other characters would meet. Other players are required to respect your creations. You can make NPCs of other roles, however, you cannot RP them in a mission.
• Bring your imagination. I can only do so much as a GM. I cannot hold your hand and make you have fun. You have to do that. I encourage you to interact with other writers. Take advantage of the Discord Chat to be able to directly communicate with your partners and set up some interesting stories between each other.
• No Multi-/Hybrid Jobs. Yes, someone has finally done it where they tried to go through almost every job with one character. Once a character becomes a SOLDIER, the only way out is death. You cannot be a SOLDIER and a Turk. You cannot be Shinra Troop and a Turk. You can leave Shinra Troop to become either a SOLDIER or a Turk, but you cannot be a Shinra Troop-Turk-SOLDIER. No Mary Sues.

FF7: SOLDIER [Always Accepting More Creative Writers!]

Midgar is the capital city and power base of the Shinra Electric Power Company in the world of Gaia. This is the primary setting at the start of this role play. Midgar embodies many themes in FF7. The greedy capitalism of Shinra and the authoritarian power the company can project, the environmental disaster that faces the Planet, and how new is rapidly replacing old, displacing the lives of many people. Midgar is the most technologically advanced city on the planet. Its large circular structure is supported above the ground by 8 Mako Reactors and a central pillar with various other supports around the city. On top of the structure lies the city proper, divided into eight sectors, while underneath it lie the Midgar Slums where the poor and downtrodden make their home.

Midgar was once eight individual towns but their names have been forgotten in favor of referring to the different areas as sectors. Governed as a police state, the city is home to some of the richest and most powerful people who run most of the city’s affairs from the central Shinra Building, which dominates the cityscape. Construction of the city began in 1976 to provide residence for the Shinra Electric Power Company’s growing investment and employment base. Because of the eight Mako Reactors, the city’s massive power demands are met, but at the cost of the surrounding countryside, which has become a barren wasteland due to the city sapping the surrounding life energy. Because of this, the city and its reactors are a prime target for terrorism by rebel groups like AVALANCHE who seek to restore the planet to its former state and to stop Shinra from sapping its life energy.

Midgar is considered a technological pizza in design. Although it was previously mentioned that there are 8 sectors, there is actually a ninth sector called Sector 0 at the center of the city. Sector 0 is the central district which holds the main headquarters of Shinra. Each sector has a Mako Reactor that provides it with electricity.

The Midgar Slums, the projects beneath the plates of the rich and wealthy, can be accessed via city train or hidden paths throughout the city’s sewer system. The train can be a risky method of travel for stowaways. The train will pass through security checkpoints between each sector, and the entire train will pass through a scanner that scans the train passes of all personnel aboard. Most stowaways try to ride the train and dismount before the train reaches the security checkpoint. This illegal act has allowed for criminal types to traverse the plates of the wealthy and prosperous and cause trouble. Street gangs tend to venture to the top, rob from the rich, but they do not give to the poor. Street gangs will also target innocents of the plate and harm them through assault and nonconsensual acts. Shinra Troop actively patrol the city by foot, vehicle, or roboguard, but they can’t always stop the crimes from happening.

An AVALANCHE safe house is rumored to be in the Midgar Slums but has yet to be found.


Writers can create common locations, whether they be movie theaters, restaurants, cafes, bars, fight clubs, etc. Whatever location a writer creates will be listed here for all writers to refer to. These locations will be able to be visited and appreciated by all characters. PM the GM once you create an establishment or place. I won't always see that you've done it.


Writers can create NPCs that are either well-known owners or workers of the locations listed above, or a face characters may commonly see around the city. The NPCs of writers will be listed here. PM the GM if you want to add a NPC to this list.

• Writers are free to explore the 8 (or 9) Sectors of Midgar and make what they want of them. You can create drama for yourselves, but don't try to destroy the world or Mako Reactors. Leave that sort of drama to the GM as the GM uncovers the plot.
• I expect the GM events and the free-flowing time that exists in Midgar to happen at different times of the year. Your character can be in Midgar doing a personal plot, and also in a GM event at the same time. The idea is that they happen on different dates.
• Street Gangs, Mafias, etc. are people worth adding to the "Notable Characters" list. Especially if they're a big problem.
• Font Color Discipline Again, do not use neon or somber colors. We want to be able to comfortably read your work, so don't do it.
• No Large Pics If you want to use pics to jazz-up your posts, large pictures that take up the screen are not permitted. They look very bad and they don't make your posts look better. Shrink them, link them, or hide them. If they are hidden, they still better be small.
• No OOC in the IC No OOC chatter in the IC. We have an OOC for a reason. Keep your fourth-wall dialog out of the IC. Thank you.
• Police Each Other If you see a player violating these rules, please inform them that they are doing so. If they blow you off, then tell me. I'll deal with it. That's what I'm here for. My purpose is to make sure this game moves and is enjoyable for the players. I get rid of drama queens in a heartbeat. Also be sure to let me know if we have some "Bad Ass vs The World" types of writers. You'll know them when you see them. They are obvious, and I will get rid of them.

Dragon Ball Z: Blood Lines

I'm going to play a human whose martial arts and ki techniques make him superhuman without any necessary augmentations. He is going to be the One Punch Man (not literal One Punch Man but the concept that a normal human can be powerful) of the game.

Also, yeah, I think the first arc being about some travelling Z warrior running into others by happenstance or some unknown fate to be a good idea. It allows each of those players' characters to shine. But you may have to put a player cut-off limit during Arc 1 or we will never see the end of the arc if newbs keep popping in: "Accepting anymooo~ore?" You can expect "drop-outs" since they always happen, so maybe keeping the new and interested players on a waiting list until the arc is completed will help you keep track of prospects.

Dragon Ball Z: Blood Lines

@Kafka KomedyI second this. New forms and humans deserve more credibility since DBZ is a Mary Sue show designed around Goku's greatness.
