Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

@mattmanganon @King Kindred

Now that I think about it, should we have Maleficent as a recurring villain?

@Eviledd1984

She will be up until the House of Villains Arc.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

@King Kindred Well, i think we were gonna go with the idea that currently, Kerchak is the one with Authority, but passes it to Tarzan when he dies, being that Kerchak is currently the leader.

Also, me and @Eviledd1984 were actually talking about going to Sleeping Beauty next. Although we were going with the idea i used in my last campaign:

Idea

Pretty much, after Maleficent gained her powers over the Heartless all those centuries ago, the first world she took her wrath out on was her own, sealing Flora, Fauna and Merryweather away. Forcing her world into an unending cycle of her victory. Every 16 years, Aurora is born, every 16 years she pricks her finger, every 16 years, she falls asleep and when Philip dies fighting the Dragon, Aurora's fate is sealed forever. Only for the whole mess to start again. (She's kinda vindictive that way)

Luckily for her, 3 more fairies made their way in to the world to help Aurora. But even they are still powerless to help Aurora overcome the Curse. Philip will need assistance in his fight to recover his lost love: Perhaps 2 dark warriors and their sidekick may be all it takes to tip the balance?

I also wanted to establish that "Maleficent's Dragon Form is actually weaker than her Fairy form. That's just how powerful she is." Either that, or the Maleficent that we fight is like "Phantom Maleifcent" But pretty much make it clear that this version we beat is a much weaker than final boss version. Also, Aurora with Dressphere magic would is a fun concept.

I like to avoid "Retell the movie, but the gang were there." stories. Or at least, if we have to, do what Birth By Sleep did with Cinderella in that it took key parts of the film and used them as character building moments for the heroes when they temporarily take a role in it.

@mattmanganon

Yeah, I agree with Kerchak having Authority and passing it onto Tarzan when he dies.

I'm cool with y'all going to Sleeping Beauty next and breaking the curse Maleficent has over it. It's perfect and goes with my idea that the Light didn't choose Aurora in this timeline due to Maleficent having dominion over her world. And it makes sense for her Dragon form to be weaker. It's more of an intimidating factor, but tends to fail at doing that against heroes.

And same. I want our characters to really impact the stories. I already have plans for Alias' presence to drastically change Anakin's path in Attack of the Clones and whoever goes to Revenge of the Sith in Kingdom Hearts 2 or 365/2.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

@Sadu

Yeah, I wasn't sure exactly what the plan was with the Royal Authorities but I figured with Mickey and Uther being exceptiona and not having a Princess of Heart the world of Tarzan could have Royal Authority as well. With Tarzan being an English noble as well as the leader of the apes/King of the Jungle in his series I figured it was perfect for him and would give an added explanation to @mattmanganon's earlier question about certain characters and their weapons being able to hurt the Heartless.

There could actually be 13 Royal Authorities instead that don't necessarily tie to the Princesses of Heart.

But it'd be funny and interesting if Terk did end up being a Princess of Heart instead. So Clayton fails but also succeeds.

I was already replacing Aurora with Anastasia. We could replace Snow White as well since we don't actually go to her world or interact with anyone from there.

Edit: I almost forgot. We even have Padme/Palpatine having Royal Authority in Star Wars to make it fit more into the Kingdom Hearts story.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

Posted. Please let me know @King Kindred if I need to change my post.

Also, I am unsure what villain I should introduce to Taivas. Maybe Maleficent or Xehanort later on in the RP.

@Eviledd1984

No problems from me. I was thinking if anyone there would have Authority and Kerchak would before Tarzan eventually gets it, so you're good.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

See, that's a reason why i think she'd choose Quackerjack or Megavolt instead. Yes, they're not terribly bright, but that makes them easy to control, same reason she keeps Pete around. She seems like the kind to mistrust anyone like herself... Because she knows she's not to be trusted either.

@mattmanganon

True. But there's a difference between easy to control and grueling headache for her. With Magica being so similar to herself I feel like she'd know exactly how to manipulate her and get her to see how their interests align and because they do. Especially if she tells her of her plan to remake the worlds into the image of villains. Magica becoming the protagonist and gaining victory over Darkwing would be the perfect carrot.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

Wow, spoilers. :P I don’t actually know who Ansem is. I still haven’t finished KH1 And as someone who hasn’t finished the series, I don’t have much to comment on the actual plot. I’m along for the ride.

I expected Lucian would be important. Why else would I play a Prince of Heart in the first place.

@Crimson Flame

Lol I figured it was hinted at enough to not be considered a major spoiler now.

Also, @mattmanganon, since we're on the subject. I'm fine with Gepetto and Garland also being students of Ansem. You should definitely talk to @Sadu more about Pinocchio and the whole idea of putting hearts in Nobodies.

I don't mind Cruella receiving the Bandora Staff and becoming a proper villainess. She could even use it to monsterfy Fluffy.

Jellica's cool with me being in the Little Mermaid working with Ursula or being awakened in the chaos of Atlantis.

Whiger would be cool as long as he's an actual suped up tiger in Pride Lands since it's a world of animals.

I feel like Magica would be the only Maleficent would tolerate. She's like her in duck form, even down to their pet ravens, so I'm cool with that as well.

Kingdom Hearts: Heroes of Hope

@Sadu

1. Where does the final confrontation w/ Ansem go down?
2. Are we nixing the part where Ansem the Wise had his identity stolen? Therefore the Ansem here is THE Ansem?

@IAmTheIsland

I believe there was a mix-up in this part. Ansem won't be the Villain of Kingdom Hearts 1. He's still currently Diz and Alias' biological father. Though instead of his identity being stolen, it was Uther.

Uther's final confrontation will go down in Hollow Bastion after the penultimate battles in Camelot.

But to clarify Ansem the Wise, Uther(possessed), and Old Xehanort will be 3 different people.

Accursed Tropes: The Last Airbender (Isekai; Fanfic Cliches infiltrating Canon, Lewascan gave me Permission)

Yuka

Name: Yuka
Titles: Silla (Given at Birth; Means Spirit of the Sky, Wind, and Weather)
Gender: Male
Age: 0
Affiliation: Southern Water Tribe's Wolf Cove, Team Avatar, Reincarnate Alliance

Personality: In his past life there was never a dream too big or a world too far for Yuka. But because of this he tended to spend most of his time in these other worlds than making something substantial of his own. With dreams and aspirations that were endless he never found the "time" or "resources" to accomplish anything. This extreme go-getter attitude came from seeing his brother in and out of the hospital. He wanted to do the things his brother wouldn't be able to or save him from his sickness so that he can. Though, he was truly held back by a fear of success or things not living up to his grand expectations. Despite this he still was able to enjoy the life that he had even if it felt mundane and repetitive at times. Basically he was a perfect target for Truck-Kun, a person brimming with wasted potential. He plans to do things differently in this new world. Always feeling like he was meant for bigger and greater he's going to apply that theory to practice by becoming the hero of this story and world.

°Likes: Food(the man is a foodie), family and friends, sparring and training, pushing his limits, nature and exploring it, reading and writing and watching movies(though he's unable to do that in this era), defeating evil, brainstorming, creating stories, playing video games and games in general(kinda competitive)
°Dislikes: Sushi, fish eggs, poor hygiene, oppression, slavery and forced labor, false imprisonment, jerks, assholes, and the like, senseless murder, injustice of any kind.
°Fears: Losing the people in this world that he grows close to, pressures of success, being a hero/Avatar that makes things worse for the next one.
°Dream: Unite the World in Peace and Love and make a happy life for himself in this world.

Short Biography: In his previous life Yuka was born as Eli, the older brother of Ethan. Growing up the two were inseparable. Ethan was Eli's best friend, but unfortunately Eli couldn't always be there for his little brother. When he wasn't around kids bullied him, but the moment Eli found out he showed each bully why they were correct in fearing him. Eli was always that protective spirit. He was always there to lend a hand or protect someone or something when he was needed. And when Ethan became sick with Cancer he needed Eli the most. They were able to laugh, cry, and dream together. Eli had so many ideas and goals that he was essentially frozen as the world passed by around him. Unable to decide on how things would or should start he found it easier to just build these universes in his head instead of seeing them through in reality. This ranged from films and series to book series to whole comic multiverses. He escaped into these realities as well as the realities provided for him through the media he consumed, finding the different ideas and worlds so exciting, and honestly more exciting than his actual life.

Before he was able to achieve anything for himself or Ethan, Ethan passed away. He thought back to all the conversations they had together and how they spent hours upon hours watching Ethan's favorite show, Avatar the Last Airbender. When Ethan was at his weakest Eli would grab a walking stick and pretend it was a staff and he was Aang. It always cheered him up and Ethan often remarked that he was a natural. This led to Eli becoming fully interested in martial arts and other things that would help him prepare to live in a world like Avatar and the ones he and his brother created, just in case his world became like one. Towards the end of his life he often joked about if Truck-Kun was real he'd be one of his targets. As if testing fate or summoning the blood-thirsty vehicle itself, Yuka was struck by a truck, clinging onto his staff as his life faded. When he died he wasn't sure if he had actually manifested that reality or if he was in some weird coma dream. He decided not to overthink for the first time in his life and just accepted it.

Yuka was born the twin brother of Sokka. This day was considered a major event in the village, in the entire Southern Water Tribe's history. Leading up to their births there was a giant storm, one not seen in the South Pole for ages, if at all. Kya was nervous about giving birth to them in those conditions, but Yuka wasn't giving her a choice. He was ready to enter the world and the world was trying to make itself ready for him. Yuka was born first and instead of crying he entered the world with the closest thing to a giggle he could muster. That alone freaked out everyone involved in the birthing process, but what happened next really left them floored. As if responding to the child's laughter and their birth, the storm outside ceased, the wind calmed, and the snow fell peacefully to the floor. It was clear then that this child was special and would need to be protected. The spirit world sent them a blessing. Sokka's birth was a lot easier and Hakoda and Kya officially welcomed their twins. Word spread to the different tribal villages that the Hope of the Southern Water Tribe was found. They didn't know that Yuka was the Avatar at first. They just assumed he was a powerful bender connected to the spirits, initially dubbing him Silla. It wasn't until the Chief Elders got together that they suggested he was the Avatar and it was the duty of all the Southern Water Tribes to unite once again to protect this bundle of hope for their Tribe and the World.

Yuka was surprised by how fast things were changing with his presence already. His birth jumpstarted the Southern Reconstruction Project about a decade and a half early. What else could happen with this change? Will he be able to save his new mom, Kya? Or will he make things ultimately worse for the Southern Water Tribe?

Inventory:
•

Skills: Both Bending and Non-Bending, update this growing arsenal as needed. You can include skills from your past life, which may potentially provide unique advantages; though, naturally, those skills should be entirely mundane, since your past life lacked any supernatural aspects.
°Martial Arts: In his past life he self-taught himself martial arts so he isn't the best coming out of the gate, but he's pretty good, having actually sparred with people before coming to this world. He mixes quite a number of martial arts.
•Weapon Proficiency: Taught himself how to use weapons like staffs, swords, bows, and guns. Still not a master of any of these, but he's better than your average.
•Muscle Memory(non-comic): In Yuka's past life he had the ability to remember and mimic the things he saw, but limited to what his body was capable of. Just because he could see the perfect split, doesn't mean he could recreate it. He still needed that flexibility. He was also limited by his own doubts about what his body was capable of. He doesn't have those doubts in this world.
•Storyteller: Yuka knows how to tell great stories, whether they're made up or real. He can use this to his advantage when he needs to travel in secret as the Avatar.
•Detective: In his past life Yuka prided himself on his deduction and guessing ability.
•Creativity: Yuka's super creative and uses that creativity to come up with new fighting and bending techniques.
•Survival/Camping Skills: Yuka knows the essentials to camping and has planned contingency plans for zombie apocalypses and alien invasions.

Tropes:
• Another Avatar: Yuka broke the system. Despite Fake Aang being a thing he was summoned to the world as the Avatar of the next cycle, Water.
• Twin of Sokka/Brother of Katara: As if being the Avatar wasn't enough to smack him in the middle of the series he found himself born as the twin brother of Sokka.
• Crystal Memory: Yuka believes his knowledge and memories of the Avatar fandom has been amplified by the Avatar State and strange circumstances of his arrival, though he was a major fan of the franchise in his past life, having watched both(or all three) series, watched both the live action show and movie , read the comics, watched Avatar what ifs, and participated in Avatar roleplays.

Bending/Crossover Power:

Only able to use Water first.

Current Goals:
Short Term: Save his mother and protect the Southern Water Tribe
Long Term: Save the world and live a better life than his old one.

Extra: Any bonus trivia you feel it might be neat to include could go here in this totally optional section. If you have any music you used as inspiration for character creation or other tunes that serve as themes for them, feel free to include them too.

Declaring my interest with Yuka, the Avatar the world didn't know it needed! He's also the twin brother of Sokka because I feel like that leaves room for some interesting changes and developments for the siblings and the Southern Water Tribe before the start of the story.

@King Kindred, are you already in the OOC Discussion Discord (the one added to the OOC OP)?

@Letter Bee

Not yet.

<Snipped quote by King Kindred>

Hohoh. Ambitious.
As one of the co-GMs here though, a couple things:

Mainly relating to your character’s backstory, the insertion itself doesn’t actually cause any retroactive or inherent historical changes, like the manifestation of a legendary weapon of an original Avatar. Changing history that way for a nation/the world is actually considered a trope and thus costs trope points to employ.

Secondly, for your background, most of it should be focused on the character’s past life, as the IC will begin with posts at the infant year(s), so very little is actually set in stone past birth until described IC. Keep in mind, your OC and their butterflies do not exist in a vacuum, and there are other OCs out there likely out to plot their own butterflies on history. Thus, it’s best to not actually describe much beyond the circumstances of the OC’s birth at most for now and basically set their starting line.

If you want to actually cause pre-birth historical changes though, that would require starting trope points, the amount depending on how drastic the changes you desire, and keep in mind, this may ultimately be vetoed if those changes are too disruptive.

@Lewascan2

Oh, I didn't know about the weapon thing. It was just meant to be a basic weapon that was actually his staff transferred over to the next world, but that makes sense that it'd be considered a trope. I'll take it out and he can just get a random one later.

For his background the reincarnated life stuff I put was within week 1 since his birth would've been seen as a big event.
