Final Fantasy: After the Ashes

Hey, just a quick update to say I decided to lower the amount of time since the war after considering some of the stuff I plan to do. I don't think it'll have too significant effect on everyone's characters, just thought I'd let everyone know!

@VitaVitaAR

Sounds good. I finally have my character avatar and general idea, so I’ll be working on him today!

Pokémon: Start

I just came here to say that the fact that this RP has been going for 5 years!! is impressive, and kind of blows my mind. Awesome dedication.

I’m watching, and maybe can join down the road some time if the door opens for us both!

Final Fantasy: After the Ashes

Did not see that it was up! No problem!

@VitaVitaAR

Will there be anything like Limit Breaks/Trance/Overdrive abilities? Something useful to know while creating our characters.

Formula D: Sunset City

<Snipped quote by thecatinaction>

Absolutely. This is under tabletop but it's more board-game than strictly TTRPG. Here's the interest check with how I'm planning on running the split between 'tabletop' stuff and Rping.

@rocketrobie2

Cool! I’m going to throw my hat in the mix than! I’ll read over the rules, and start working on a CS soon.

Final Fantasy: After the Ashes

@thecatinaction: Excellent suggestion! I was genuinely having trouble fully deciding on what direction I wanted for how summons work, and that would work very well.

@VitaVitaAR

Awesome! I’m glad I could contribute something and help a little! I’m excited to see how you play it out! I’ll be working on a CS soon 🙂

@thecatinaction: I'll be honest I keep flip-flopping on this, as to if summons require a dedicated speciality for best use or if everyone can pull it off.

@VitaVitaAR

Could there maybe be some sort of magitek equipment that one would need in order to be able to focus enough Lumium to actually summon these great spirits? So technically anyone could probably do it, but they would need this magitek to even be able to focus enough Lumium to pull it off. May set up some interesting story as well. Just a thought to mitigate some of the guess work.

Final Fantasy: After the Ashes

@thecatinaction: I was originally considering doing more races, but I ultimately decided to keep playable races to humans.

I'd definitely lean more 7/8/13 in terms of character appearances, as the setting is intended to be more modern in aesthetics.

As far as classes and jobs, I'm not going to be emulating a jobs system but want people to stick to a speciality. Summons should start low-level, with more powerful summons to be picked up later by finding them and contracting/fighting them.

@VitaVitaAR

Okay, that’s what I was picturing. So we all have a summon? Maybe this should be something earned through story, or GM discretion/designation? I may need to read the description again to see if I missed anything important about summons at all. Are they just summoned through magic granted by the Lumium? Just trying to get a good understanding of everything. If that’s the case, I suppose it makes sense most people would be able to summon.

Formula D: Sunset City

I’ve never actually played a Tabletop, though I’ve looked into quite a few. Would this be open to a complete noob? I like the concept.

Final Fantasy: After the Ashes

Very very happy to see the enthusiasm!

I'm happy to help with planning out characters as well, so do ask any questions you like!

@VitaVitaAR

I actually have a couple questions about our characters.

What races exist, and are available? As far as our appearance, this would be more of a 7/13 appearance as far as the time setting goes? Trying to get an idea of what typical characters would look like.

For abilities, are there restrictions to certain classes, or races, etc; or will everyone be available to use whatever abilities/spells? And what about Summons/Aeons/??
