Mega Man, Legend or Legacy?

[Mr. H]

Here's the skinny, Trigger is a thing of the past, this RP takes place a hundred and thirty years after the events of Legends 2 (known references from Legends 3 are allowed and RECOMMENDED. Even as they develop, think about the influence of Fullmetal Alchemist manga on the the first anime in the later episodes), and Tiesel was viewed as a hero.

According to history, the Bonnes were a self-sacrificing family dedicated to the eradication of the last threat from Elysium (Trigger, and we're using localized names), and Bonne eventually became known as a hero who triumphed over the reincarnation of Juno (a typical fanfiction plot device, let's be ORIGINAL, people... or Carbons as we like to be called).

The world is not yet peaceful as the people of the world think that the small anarchist occurrences of the world are all connected to Elysium (pandemic paranoia), yet some small groups of people are hopeful that everything will be resolved given the proper time.

Here's my OC:

---
Name: Kuran (PS4 reference, not a Muslim/religious reference)
Occupation: Unsuccessful pizza delivery boy (He eats all the pizza before it reaches its destination)
Age: Mid-to-late twenties
Bio:
Kuran got his job as a pizza delivery boy less than two weeks ago and his managers are already sick of him. He always "gets lost" on the way to his destination and "eats all of the pizza so he can make his way back to the pizzeria (in his own words, naturally)."

Getting lost on his way back (seriously this time), he encounters a lone Gorubeshu and shoves a stick down his blaster to save his own life (he's resourceful, baby), which ends up exploding and he acquires the Gorubeshu's flamethrower weapon, which comes in handy when he returns to his pizzeria because his managers demote him to a pizza cook, and he's now able to cook pizzas at an accelerated rate, which excels him to Pizza Overlord rank within the company and is paid a fair salary of 45,000 Zenny a year (that's a lot of reactor shards).

I know I'm working from a seemingly ridiculous angle here, but it's challenging, and I like that about writing. Besides, Kafka wrote about the ridiculous yet tragic. I'm hoping to do the same here.

Let's get at least a few more character backgrounds in here before we start this RP thread.

!!!! - I encourage every participant to think of the most outlandish character they can think of while making them COMPLETELY ORIGINAL and suited to the writer's personality to take part in this RP. - !!!!

This RP should be out of the norm, out of the normal, rational mind. We are individuals, literaries, let's show the normal, rational world what can be done with a few crazy characters.

Let's do this!!!!

[Dashe]

I think thisis the discussion thread, and the game thread's only going to open if enough people show interest in the RP. He's trying to pitch the game and gauge interest.

If not, Mr. H, if enough people want to play, please make an additional thread for the game if and when that time comes. I recommend setting a time limit for the initial wave of people to sign up, too, or it's likely to attract very little attention.

You rp? I really wasn't expecting that. XD

[Mr. H]

@ Chao and Dashe: I haven't done an RP in a while and I was thinking that an anything-goes sort of RP with a few established details could result in a very unique RP. I'm thinking maybe 4 or 6 people take part to keep the creative energy from getting out of hand.

Taking those few details would help to direct those people into making their own interpretations of this world their characters are living in. I don't want to limit people's creativity by being too specific, I just want everybody on the same page in terms of recent In-World events.

For example, my character is now the Pizza Overlord (a title that he decided on) of a pizza company (he's essentially a district manager). The kinds of problems he deals with are things like people trying to steal the refractors from his stores all around town and how that leads him on a series of events that leads him to the other people in the story.

I encourage people who join in this to be as free with your minds as you're able to handle; I wouldn't want this RP to get too out-of-control that it has to be stopped mid-plot. If anybody is interested in a project like this, please PM me.

[Dashe]

Just know that the actual game needs to be in a separate thread from the OOC discussion. Other than that you should be fine.

[Mr. H]

So, who's in for this RP? The main focus will be on the characters and their relationships to one another as they develop, like any good plot-focused game, and not let that focus fall to the circumstances of the in-game world, which would be a failure on the part of the writers within this forum.

To start off, a few small posts would be acceptable to establish a forward momentum to the story of this RP, but later on I would hope the RPers would want to start writing extended posts to maintain the stories of their own characters in relationship to the characters of others.

I want this to be an RP for serious writers and possibly those who have the potential to become something of a professional. I know the talent exists within this very forum, I just need people who feel they can open a can of worms and keep it under control at the same time.

Ok, I do believe that this might be interesting. You have my vote.

[Mr. H]

Is anybody else in?

[Chaotic Chao]

Not many people post in this forum, probably due to the Legends 3 threads and stuff. Just be like me, and wait for 1-7 days (half sarcasm). :06:

[Dashe]

I'm not really interested in this one because there doesn't seem to be a way for me to play as an official character. Most of the RP's we've had have been OC based, so I'm really more in the mood to play as a canon Mega Man Legends character or two. I do encourage everyone with writing skills to sign up, though.

Well, I love playing as OCs, so I guess that's why I liked it so much.

Uh, this thread is way old I don't think there is much interest in doing this RP in particular anymore. You can start your own if you like. Be sure to make it in the RP board.
