I would be interested in creating a roleplay similar to the two series mentioned in the title, with a great tower called the Spire of Morpheus appearing in our characters' dreams after they tried a strange ritual together one day. Inside the spire would be a test of both their ability to survive, fight, work together and handle both stress and fear, every death in the Spire making it so they have to start over again. As virtual strangers that just happened to have had a common detention and were bored one night, they will have to get to form Bonds or either Friendship, Rivalry or Romantic Love while making sure that they get better grade, or at least just enough to graduate next year. Yes, we will start playing delinquents and slackers, and yes, this will have to change.
Be careful to have a steady pace, however, for each battle will tire the group further, and falling asleep in class is not a good way to turn the page on their lacklustre past! As for bonds, they will be calculated much like the run of the mill RPG 'Level', with each character responding with a reaction that outline whether they Dislike, are Indifferent, Like or Love a specific action or speech. To get bonuses on the later positive reaction, each character's Charm will have to be trained, quite the same as Academics for each good answer for grades, Diligence for training or studying longer and thus getting more out of each session as far as gaining skills and attributes goes and finally Courage to be able to go to higher floors of the Spire. Moe will be explained in details later or at prompting.
Finally, each completed and new floor of the Spire will bring a small wish, with bosses battles bringing bigger boons the higher up they go.
I need help to iron this all out and interests to put it up, so anything is very much appreciated!
