Hello, and welcome to Mega Man Legends! (The Forum Game). This is a game similar to an RP, except different. It's basically a retelling of the events of Mega Man Legends 1, through different character's eyes. Members get to play as different people other than (But still including) Mega Man, and get to tell the story from that character's point of view. For an example: We all know what happens when Mega Man goes down to face Juno. But what we don't know is what was happening on the surface to Roll, Barrel, and all the citizens of Kattleox as Eden was approching. If you play as Roll, or even Barrel, you can write up what happened at the time according to your imagination, as long as it stays true to the events of the game, and dosen't stray too far away from the main plot of Mega Man Legends. That means you can't give characters new items or weapons, or kill off someone, such as Ira, for example. If you must create a new character for your character's story, try to pick a character that's already in the game, and add a personality and a name.
To pick a character, post in this thread, saying, "I want to play as _____". If two people post claims for a character, whoever's post is closer to the top gets the character. As the story progresses, more characters become playable, or sometimes, NOT playable for members. You will know when a new playable character is introduced when I post,[ New Character! (Insert Character Name Here)], and then post a description of the character or any other additional notes.
I will temporarily play characters who are needed for the plot to advance, but whose player is not available for whatever reason, such as being on a break, etc.
[New Character! Mega Man Voulnutt.]
Mega Man Voulnutt is the main character of Mega Man Legends. Mega Man was abandoned in a ruins at a young age, and found by Barrel Caskett. He was named by Barrel's young granddaughter, Roll, and raised as part of his family. He is a well-mannered, nice, and kind boy. He is now a Digger, a warrior/archeologist of sorts, who looks for refractors in ruins infested by robots called Reaverbots. He wears blue armor, and weilds a weapon called the "Buster Gun".
Notes: Whoever picks Mega Man as thier character must come at least semi-often, as he is needed in certain parts of this game.
EDIT: Mega Man Voulnutt has been called by RockMan!
EDIT 2: Barrel is played by Aimman. EXE. Data is played by Anti-Jump Springs. Teisel is played by Dashe. Servbots are played by Musashi. Mega Man is played by RockMan. Tron is currently played by no ojne. Roll is currently played by no one.
Here we go!

That sounds like a really cool idea. But I'm hesitant to jump in, as I don't really know how the RP situation stands at the moment.
As you're probably aware, we've only got the one trail RP going currently, and no others, so...I dunno. I don't really know how to react. I'm-a go leave this up to those in charge. *Wanders off*

:oWait, come back!
I don't want it to be an RP, just be similar, yet different enough to be put in the "Forum Games" section.

Well, the chase thread's sorta like an RP, so I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed. Let the games commence!

[glow=red,3,000]INTRO[/glow]
[glow=blue,2,300]In a world covered by endless water...
People are forced to eke out a living on the small patches of land that remain above the sea. The people of this world rely on ancient technology driven by quantum refractors, a powerful energy source. These refractors lie in ancient ruins underground and in the sea and are sought out by explorers called "Diggers." These brave explorers are the sole source of refractor energy which has become a cornerstone of the emerging civilizations. Originally, this was the Diggers' only purpose; to find refractors so that civilization would endure. However over the years, the story of an incredible treasure, the legendary Mother Lode, began to be whispered among the Diggers.... The Mother Lode...a treasure so great that were it discovered, it would provide so much power that the world need never fear of running out of energy. In search of this "Mother Lode", Diggers travel from one island to another in their flying machines ever hoping that they'll find what they seek just over the horizon. Who can say what truly motivates the Diggers? Hope... Despair... Charity... Greed... Duty... Power... [/glow]

Does semi-often mean at least during the weekdays for about an hour a day? Then I want to be MegaMan! Please?

That's good enough, come on and get this party started!
...Or something like that....
Anyway, you start in the ruins at sea, at the door that's 1/4 open...

*I'm at the last door...* Roll: MegaMan! MegaMan! MegaMan! Can you hear me!? Me: Just barely, the transmission isn't too clear... Roll: I got worried 'cause the transmission got cut off suddenly! Me: I'm okay! I think this is the last door... *I struggle to open the door, when in reality, it's as light as styrofoam* Me: Roll! It's still active! The reactor's still running! Roll: Great! What about the refractor? Me: It's here! It's a big one, too! Roll: All right, now maybe we can finally get some money! Be careful! *I dramatically touch the refractor, which glows. I remain calm while in reality I freak out in my mind. I grab the refractor anyway* Me: Whew! *I leap off the platform, starting the trap* Me: Whoa! *I run out of the room just before all the doors close on me, just like Indiana Jones!* Me: I'm okay, Roll. Everything's all right here! Roll: Don't count your chickens yet! I'm picking something up on my screen; it's looks like a Reaverbot! You'd better get out of there--c'mon... Me: Right! You see anything, let me know! Here we go! *Dramatic music. Or not. Anyway, I enter the caverns* Roll: Wait a second! There should be a Reaverbot around there somewhere...Can you see it? It looks like a small one--you should be able to take it down with your Buster Gun. Instructions: Use the SQUARE button to fire! Press the R2 button to automatically lock-on to the nearest target! Me: What the heck? Whatever. *Turns to the first hallway. There's a door.* Instructions: Use the CIRCLE button to investigate items and open doors. Me: This again! *Shoots instruction screen, then instead of going through the door, I explore some more.* Roll: Where are you going, MegaMan? That's not the right way. I don't like the way that looks...Maybe you'd better head back... *I enter a snake trap!* Roll: Be careful, MegaMan--it looks like they've got you surrounded... *I easily destroy the snakes.* Roll: MegaMan, are you all right!? Me: Accesory Pack Omega rules! *I go back and enter the door and run through more corridors.* Roll: Watch out! There's something right in front of you! *I stop before the second door* Roll: Hold it! Don't move! ...Looks like it didn't see you...It looked like a Reaverbot--we were lucky... *I reach a forcefield door* Roll: What is it, MegaMan? I'm picking up strong energy readings...Is it some kind of barrier? Is there a switch for the barrier anywhere close by? Don't give up--it's got to be around somewhere! Me: Hey, this is the first level! Of course I won't give up! *I easily find the switches and go through the forcefield door, going through even more corridors. Until...* Roll: MegaMan, I'm showing a large blip in front of you--it's probably a Reaverbot! Be careful......Huh? MegaMan? Can you hear me...? I'm losing you...the transmission's breaking... Me: Roll? Are you all right? Wait, of course you are. Can you hear me? *I go through the door. There's a giant reaverbot. He looks crippled. I defeat it by running around it and shooting it with the MegaBuster. It easily shuts down. I go to the entrance.* Me: Look at that sky...I'm glad to have to say that after being underground for so long...Hmmm...I wonder where Roll went... *I see the giant reaverbot has come out to play some more* Me: No way! Back for more!? *I slowly back away from reaverbot and nearly fall off the edge. But then I notice that the reaverbot is shutting down for good.* Me: C-ya! *I jump onto the waiting Flutter and takes off with me on the deck.* Roll: Hold on, we're taking off! Me: Roger! *The Flutter flies away.* Me: Whew! Nice timing Roll! Roll: Anytime, MegaMan! I'm sorry MegaMan, I had some engine problems, and... Me: It's okay, Roll! But I'm glad you showed up when you did! Roll: All's well that ends well, right? And we were able to get a refractor; we should be able to get by with that for a while! If only the Mother Lode were as easy to find as this! Me: Don't worry! We'll find it someday, and your parents too! Roll: Thanks! I know we will! Barrell: Roll, the engine's overheating! The smoke's so thick I can barely see! Roll: What!? I guess the Flutter's in worse shape than I thought! Barrell: Roll, the #5 meter is going crazy! She can't take much more of this! Roll: Gramps, can you open up the #11 value again? Barrell: Got it! Roll: We'd better find a place to set down! MegaMan, could you check the map? Me: Got it! There's an island called Kattelox about 100 miles southwest! Barrell: I can't do much more down here by myself down here! Can somebody give me a hand!? Roll: Sorry, Gramps, but my hands are a little full right now! *I see the approaching Kattelox Island* Me: Roll, I see it! Land ho! *The Flutter starts shaking violently* Roll: Hold on! Hold together...Just a little bit more.. Hold on! I'm taking her down!. *The Flutter crashes on Kattelox Island. The bottom rudder breaks off* Barrell: Looks like...Looks like we made it!

As a side note, you shouldn't ever switch between first and third person views while writing. This simply means that, unless a character is narrating or talking, I should not be used if your story is third person.
I get the impression this thread was meant to be posted on in first person from the view of a MML character. So therefore, it would be easier if you didn't talk in third person, and instead just said, "I want to be Megaman," then typed in first person as Megaman for your story.
Anyways, I'm gonna be Barrel, who has oppurtunities for all sorts of zany character value and seems appropriate for the current point in the timeline.
---
"Roll!" I shouted, thrown into a coughing fit from the smoke gathering in the engine room. "I can't do much more down here! Can somebody give me a hand!?"
"Sorry Gramps, but my hands are full right now!" Roll snapped back to me over the ship's communicator. That rude little... I'm an old man! For Pete's sake, you're going to let me charbroil down here in the engine room of a malfunctioning ship? Did I not teach you any respect for your elders. Hacking and coughing, I attempted to close the #11 valve and fix the #5 meter. All of these doo-dads... Sometimes these ships seem to be more trouble than their worth. In the end, it didn't seem to do much for us. After a long time of fiddling, and with a loud, jarring screech, the ship's underbelly dragged across the ground of some unknown island. I was in the dark here, you see. I just left things to Providence and hoped the kids knew what they were doing.
After waiting about half an hour for those whippersnappers to come down and rescue me, I discovered the back door was so messed up that I could simply kick it right down. Utilizing my "leet" ninja skills, I easily kicked through and landed gracefully beside my daughter. She'd been prying it open all along! I was glad to see that at least my daughter respected me... Now what had that ingrate Megaman been up to?
I went back inside to search for him, only to find him looking through my loving daughter's diary! The sheer insensitivity! To look through someone elses personal thoughts like that! I'm just glad to know that Megaman won't ever wonder in and ponder through all of my stuff like that.
I figured now that the best thing to do would be to inspect the damage... Yep. She was kaput alright. Seeing as there was nothing to do, I thought I'd go ahead and climb back out while I waited for that little hooligan to finish probing my precious daughter's personal feelings. If that Megaman has one weakness, I'll swear its either his curiosity or just a love of mischief.

3 New Characters!
[New Character! Roll Casket.]
Roll Casket is part of the Casket family. Her parents left off to find the Mother Lode, but they never returned. As a result, Barrel Casket, her grandfather, raised her. She is kind, and worries a lot for her family. She is, however, a fine mechanic, and a good Spotter. A spotter is someone who helps a digger by watching a radar for them, warning them about any possible dangers or traps in those ruins. She spots in the family aircraft, Flutter, which is currently broken.
Notes: Whoever plays Roll does not need to come often, but, it would be nice to see the story from a different point of view. New Character! Professor Barrel Casket.]
Professor Barrel Casket is a veteran digger, now retired. In earlier days, he trained Mega Man to be a digger. He adopted both Mega Man and Roll. Professor Barrel has lots of friends in high places. It is assumed the Flutter is his.
Notes: See notes above. He is a somewhat humorous character in this game.
EDIT: Barrel is being played by Plain Old AimMan.EXE!
[New Character! Data.]
Data is a mysterious monkey-robot that speaks in gibberish. He was found by Barrel along with Mega Man in the ruins, and has since become a part of the Casket family. Since then, he has become good friends with Mega Man, who is the only person who can understand him. He gives hints, opinions and anything else on his mind. He may even give Mega Man items, or money! Data does a weird dance.
Notes: See above notes. Data is always around somewhere, so if you play as him, you can explain how he's everywhere, through his point of view. You could also write about how difficult it is to get humans to understand you.

*We get off the Flutter and asses the damage. Then, a police car comes...saying that we are under arrest! WTF!* Me: Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy! We obviously didn't crash on purpose! Besides, we didn't break anything. *The officer agrees and then tells Barrell to go to the station to get citizens passes. They tell me that Roll and I can hang out at Apple Market. I go there. Near the entrance, I notice robots that looks a lot like LEGO minifigures next to a ridiculously small airship that I think is pathetic. The robots are eating sushi!* Me at robots: Whoa! I didn't know some robots could eat food. *The robots tells me that they're waiting for a "Miss Tron".* Me: Whatever. *I enter Apple Market. I look around, buy some bread and kick cans until I see a Junk Shop, which may help Roll and I rebuild the Flutter. I enter it, only to walk out because the owner says she has no airship parts and because his unarmored husband is taking a long time in the nearby ruins. I go into it.* Me: Hmm, not much Reaverbots, just weak ones. *I hear yelling. I run through the corridors until I find the Junk Store guy doing the macarena with snakes reaverbots hanging out*

Alright, I'll go ahead and jump p4wn it again. Somebody should take Roll soon, right? Or is everybody holding out for Tron? --- As I walked through the town, chatting with the inspector about the city's low crime rate and the relative ease of being a member of the Kattelox police force, I began to feel right at home. The island was so peaceful and so quite. That was the kind of serenity which no event could ever shatter. Nope. No violence could ever touch down inside this safe haven. Why, looking up at the city hall, I began to feel as though it was invincible; no machines could ever tear it down! I walked on in, casting a glance at the geeky, high-britches nerds and the cute, purple-skirted girls behind the desk. One of the young girls was giving out some formal speech about fitting in on Kattelox Island, which once again elevated my opinion of the island. To treat strangers with such kindness! Certainly the island would never regret its open-armed acceptance of strangers. I made my way up to the stairs, following a generic looking policeman with a helmet pulled down over his eyes. His voice was of a strangely feminine pitch, and it was beginning to annoy me. Fortunately, the mayor's office was just up ahead, and he waited outside the door. I was pleasantly surprised at what an attractive woman the mayor was; really, I was surprised the mayor was a woman at all! While she greeted me, searching through a cabinet for some kind of files, I stroked my beard thoughtfully, hoping to think up some clever one-liners for conversation. Then suddenly, I recognized her: Amelia, an old student of mine! We greeted each other joyfully, exchanging a formal handshake. I would have preferred something less formal, like the embraces we used to share, but bah, I could see she wouldn't have any such nonsense. She was always a very serious young lady. To start with, we sat down and shared some coffee. Well, I stood; I never was one much for sitting. We chatted about times past, to catch up with each other. She seemed to dodge the subject of digging pretty cunningly; I deducted that she must have had a reason for doing so. After a bit longer, I decided that, for whatever reason, she must hold on to the Digging Licenses as a sort of a method of payment for favors of good citizenship! She always was a little crafty. Megaman and Roll would have to wait. I couldn't miss the opportunity catch up with a former colleague, especially one as dear to me as Amelia. Even more so considering there was a nice cup of joe or two to be had.

[New Characters! Servbots.]
Servbots are part of the Bonne family. Although no one can tell at first, there are 40 of these little robots. They each seem to have a personality of thier own, and are especially loyal to thier "Mother", Tron Bonne. They are all around the island, doing various things.
Notes: So far, in the story, no one knows that they are with the Bonnes yet.
EDIT: The Servbots are being played by Musashi!
Additionally, these characters still need to be called. Before any new characters are introduced, at least one of these need to be taken.
Roll Casket is part of the Casket family. Her parents left off to find the Mother Lode, but they never returned. As a result, Barrel Casket, her grandfather, raised her. She is kind, and worries a lot for her family. She is, however, a fine mechanic, and a good Spotter. A spotter is someone who helps a digger by watching a radar for them, warning them about any possible dangers or traps in those ruins. She spots in the family aircraft, Flutter, which is currently broken.
Notes: Whoever plays Roll does not need to come often, but, it would be nice to see the story from a different point of view.
EDIT: Roll has been called by Rage!
Data is a mysterious monkey-robot that speaks in gibberish. He was found by Barrel along with Mega Man in the ruins, and has since become a part of the Casket family. Since then, he has become good friends with Mega Man, who is the only person who can understand him. He gives hints, opinions and anything else on his mind. He may even give Mega Man items, or money! Data does a weird dance.
Notes: See above notes. Data is always around somewhere, so if you play as him, you can explain how he's everywhere, through his point of view. You could also write about how difficult it is to get humans to understand you.

I ask the snakes to go away, and they obey. The Junk Store guy stops dancing(aww) and thanks me, commenting how I was able to talk to the reaverbots and says that he'll give me a gift for saving him.
"What the heck! They were just hanging out. You don't need to be scared of them!"
We return to the store anyway. He says that he'll give me a support car! Hooray! I tell them that my name is Ro-I mean MegaMan Voulnutt, thank them, and leave. I arrive at the entrance, with Roll waiting next to an old car. What the heck! It's broken! Wait, Roll can easily fix it! Nevermind! I tell Roll that the Junk Store owners gave the car to us. Roll gets excited and immediately fixes it. In the meantime, an officer gives us our citizen's card and tells us that some doors are locked due to pirates. I keep my MegaBuster out just in case and head for the city to get Gramps.
Hmm? A girl is talking to the same LEGO robots that were waiting at the small airship! So she must be Tron! ...and why does she have a metal plate over there?! Oh well.
I meet Gramps at the mayor's office. He tells me how peaceful the city is and introduces me to Amelia, the mayor and former assistant of Gramps. He also says that he'll stay with the mayor for a while, so I return to Roll, but first, I notice that Tron being chased by a dog! I chase them, finding Tron hanging for dear life on a light pole. I coax the dog to leave her alone. Tron gets up and seems mesmorized at first, then get angry and runs away.
I see the small airship fly away. Then, sure enough, the support car is fixed! Man Roll's good! She also has made a mine deployment machine for me! How nice! I tell her that Gramps will stay with the mayor for a while. BANG BANG BANG! What the heck? Oh no! The city's being attacked! So much for peacefulness! Oh no! Roll's running towards the city! I chase her yelling "stop!" but she doesn't hear or listen. One of those two.
In the city, Roll is stopped by the police, telling her to not go any further because of pirates. Maybe I can stop them! I run past the cops.
There are three big robots guarding the gate to City Hall. Then, the LEGO robots pop out from the hatches. They say that if they don't protect the key, then Ms. Tron will punish them.
"There may be three of you and one of me, but you can't beat my really big hand!"
Mission start! I don't know who has the key so I aim for the red one, since it has bigger guns, which may make it the leader. I shoot it, running clockwise around it as it shoots me. My shots hit is as it's shots miss. Good thing my MegaBuster plasma shots have homing capabilities! It realizes that it may fall, so it throws the key to the yellow one! Well at least I was right about the red robot having the key! As the red robots passes the key to the yellow robot, I throw a mine in front of the red one's path so it doesn't bother me any longer. BOOM! The red robot explodes, with the LEGO bot unconsious but still "alive". I feel a little relieved, since I wouldn't want to kill the cute little things. I chase the yellow robot.
It took a while to destroy the yellow robot. Probably because it looked like it had bigger armor than the rest. I race for the key, only to be attacked by the small airships! I shoot them, easily destroying them. Then BAM! I'm knocked back by the blue robot's charge! As I get up, the blue robot grabs the key! Arg! Well I'll have to destroy the blue one anyway. I chase it, but dang that blue robot's fast! I take a shortcut through the houses. I arrive in front of the blue robot and quickly plant a mine in front of it and dodge to the right. BOOM! The blast damages the wheels of the robot. I kick the robot on it's side(I'm a really strong kicker), and grab the key that tumbles out. Mission complete! I head towards the door to city hall.
Then suddenly, a giant red robot falls from sky, knocking me to the ground! I quickly get up, seeing Tron(Reminds me of the Disney movie Tron) pop out from the robot, telling me that if I join her, she'll forgive me.
"Join pirates?! No way! I would never do that! Besides, I think I can defeat you! I have defeated bigger robots than this!"
Tron gets furious and starts attacking me with a gathling gun. I dodge to the right, then, Tron fires a shockwave at me! I run to the left but get hit! That shockwave can home in on me! Tron fires the shockwave again, but this time I jump as high as I can. The shockwave misses, but hits the library nearby! Oh no! I should try to fight Tron without getting her to destroy the area! I stay in the middle of the road. Then Tron charges at me! Arg!...What?...Hah! That robot's too big with legs too far apart to hit me with that charge! I shoot the "face" of the robot, and it starts shooting bombs all around it. I run towards the robot to avoid the bombs and start shooting the bottom of it. It looks like the weak spot, so the robots explodes! The singed Tron flys out and hits the ground with a splat(Don't worry, her brain didn't crack. This is a rated E game, don't be silly!). I run towards her, seeing if she's okay. She is, complimenting on my skill, and retreat in the puny airship. Phew. I finally use the key to head enter City Hall.
OMG! These robots are attacking City Hall! I'm not going to let them destroy it(Gramps has my PSP!)! I blast all of the ones that are attacking City Hall, then I start fighting the ones that are attacking the nearby buildings. I defeat some with my mine arm when they back up to charge. Why are they still coming? Oh, these flying robots are bringing some more. I shoot the flying robots, with them trying to grab me. I kick them when they do that, making them spin like a top for a while. Then, one comes from behind! I shoot my MegaBuster while swinging it at it at the same time. That made some sort of plasma sword that instantly ripped the flying robot to shreads!
(You learned Buster Blade!)
Good, the LEGO robots are alright. I finish up destroying the yellow and red robots, practicing my new technique while I'm at it.
I finish defending City Hall, only to meet another odd robot...
