So, I'm fairly new here, but nonetheless I have decided to try to start up a bit of a roll play on here! I've been a DnD player for awhile, and I'm familiar with roleplay in general, so I'm sure I can whip up something that everyone can enjoy! (I'm best at 1 on 1 DM'ing though, so that's where my game mechanic comes from.)
Now, here's my general idea: I would run 2-3 individual 1 on 1 stories that come together at several key moments, where the players can decide to team up with, compete against, battle, etc. each other. I anticipate a 3 part story, each part taking roughly a month, with each group interacting with the other at least once a month.
(I have a story in mind, but it's bare bones, still some nuances to work out. But you can trust me when I say it's something that will likely leave any legends fan satisfied...)
Depending on the interest, I can run anywhere between 1 and 4 of these adventures, with 4 popular characters to chose from:
Megaman Volnutt/Trigger
Roll Caskett
Tron Bonne
Tiesel Bonne
Megaman and Tiesel would operate in a capacity similar to Megaman in the games, powering up his buster with various parts, finding items to create new, powerful weapons. Tron and Roll would be a bit different, since both of them are the handywomen of their teams, and each is quite the mechanic, I imagined them in upgradable mech suits. What this means is open to interpretation, you have pretty free reign, it could be a small suit, approximately the same as Mega's, or it could be something out of MoTB. (I know very little about this game, other than Tron goes around in a mech destroying things.) Basically, the girls are more fragile than Mega and Tiesel, who are already well armored and more machine than man already.
One thing worth mention though, is that if only two players end up playing, it would be preferable that one were on the hero's side, the other on the anti-hero's, that way the entire story would be out here on the interwebz, instead of having to write it out as a... *gasp* ...fan... fiction... *shudders*
All that aside, the game will play out somewhat similarly to an actual MML game, you mingle with some towns people (or terrorize them), get permission to go on a dig (or break into a subgate), go on a dig, and accidentally uncover a secret (probably better left forgotten), and the fate of the world hangs in the balance... The usual.
Here's a basic game plan:
The first week will be a tutorial level, to get the hang of things.
The second will move on to a new island where you want to go on a dig.
The third and fourth will be on that dig, and involve the first hints of an actual plot.
The fifth will be a cross over if both sides are approximately up to speed, otherwise one team gets some time to relax and mingle with the locals.
Week 6 will see the beginning of the overarcing plot come into play in a dramatic way.
Weeks 7 and 8 are a new sub gate to explore.
Week 9 will be a cross over.
Week 10 will be some more story/exploration stuff.
Week 11 will be some more story/exploration stuff, and finally;
Week 12 will be the final crossover and ultimate conclusion.
This timeframe is assuming 1 post a day from me and the player. I believe that with approximately 30 posts a month, we can wrap this up in 3 months. Not too long, but it should prove pretty fast paced. Now, life happens, you can ask to drop out, and I'll continue the story without you, and you can come back in at any time. Or, we can simply delay the game a little bit, everyone's friends here! (I hope even though I'm only 5 days old here I'm allowed to say that... O.O)
Now, I will set up actual threads pretty shortly after I get some interest, and those will contain what your character knows of the story. Here's the very basics though: The game takes place a month after Legends 1, The Bonnes are just getting back onto their feet, rebuilding new mechs, terrorizing the general populace, that kind of thing. Trigger and co. are up to the usual, trying to solve their personal mysteries, looking for treasure, that kind of thing. Meanwhile, The events that took place on Kattleox did not go unnoticed... Juno may have been erased, but there was never just one threat to humanity... Something much darker is dreaming, but the time nears for it to awaken...
I'm willing to work with almost anything, questions or comments? Let me know! Want to channge something? (This early on? Really?) I'll see what I can do! This is a story I want to tell, But I don't want to tell it TO you, I want to tell it WITH you, THROUGH you. After all, that's what a community is all about, right? Doing thing together! And with that, I'm off to bed.
I'm really excited to see if we can get this going!
