Very much interest.
Since you mention anime I wonder how much power and ability will we be allowed to use? Is there magic, ki, supernatural, monsters, super power, SCIENCE, vampires, etc in the setting? How far away from natural physics and the real world can we get in what our characters can do?
If I'm sure of something it's that I'm not sure of anything.

There is a LOT of that, but your characters can't be above a 2 or a 3 on the Super Weight scale.
Impossible Gender Forge
Well, this looks awesome.
Anime Disco Inferno
Wanna join? More will be expanded and things will become even more in-depth.
Impossible Gender Forge
I'm game then.
Now, to pick which crazy person I will be..
Anime Disco Inferno
Same here, I need to create an NPC sheet, complete with their own tropes. I'm probably going to play a Greaser Delinquent in the Wild Aces gang.
Anime Disco Inferno
Should I be a cop or a civilian? If I pick the latter, I might join a gang later.
Impossible Gender Forge
Whatever sounds good to you.
I don't even know what I'm going to pick yet..

Interest sparked. I love it when a GM makes a gigantic effort to detail a Constructed World.

Anybody still interested in this?
Impossible Gender Forge
- Name: Ayumi, Shizu
- Age: 16 (A bit old for a ninja prodigy, and far to young to be a small and lethal senior citizen)
- Appearance: Shizu dressed in the mandatory over-elaborate and highly unstealthy ninja fashion.
- Faction: Black Dragon Shinobi.
- Personality: Shizu is very.. quiet. Calm. Tranquil. She collects stamps as a hobby and enjoys talking about the weather. In short, she is a disgrace to the tradition of her family. So she practices to be a ninja, training to resist the urge to apologize to the people she's hurtling kunai and Shuriken at them.
- Bio: There are many different kinds of Shinobi. Some are masters of stealth and deception.. and some spit fireballs and wear orange jumpsuits. The Ayumi family is one of the latter. They expected their second daughter to be more vibrant and violent. To punch trees in half, or send people flying with hammers pulled from nowhere. But instead, she collected bottle caps and practiced making tea. Unlike many of the other Shinobi children, who usually begin training twelve or earlier, Shizu only began her training a year or so ago.
- Equipment: A ninja sword (Standard issue), more Kunai and Shuriken than any person should be capable of carrying.
- Other: Shizu exhibits the following tropes:

Accepted

I've thought about doing a Reboot of this RP, with greater detail, a wider variety of better defined NPC's and factions, and even some Brand X companies in the game.
熊熊熊熊!
THIS IS AWESOME! MUST JOIN!
When will your reboot be? Or should I just post my character here?

I am going to join, but it might be a couple of days before I make a character sheet.
TV Tropes Powers. Activate!!!!!
Is this RP still going? Just curious.
Anime Disco Inferno
I could bring it back and do a reboot
Ah, Lunara, the 52nd State of the Union. a vast land of opportunity full of colorful locations and wild characters.
Welcome to Lunara, and may you find your fortunes here.
Okay, this is a Wide-Open Sandbox RP done as a homage to urban crime games such as Grand Theft Auto and Saints Row, as well as a homage to Anime and Video Games in general. It is set in the state of Lunara, a setting that runs on Rule of Cool and often invokes the trope Where the Hell Is Springfield??
The geography is based around common Video Game Settings and anime settings, and there is only one major city: Serenity City. Serenity City is a massive Mega City with a population of 55 million people, over 3/4 of the state's population. The city is divided into five boroughs: Spades, Hearts, Clovers, Diamonds, and Crowns.
Serenity City is a massive city, starting at Lunara's shoreline and extending out, and here's some tropes common to all districts of the city.
Spades: The heart of industry and business lay here. Factories, Warehouses, Mills, Railyards, a harbor, and a massive power plant lie here. Very little of it is residential, and it is the heart of Serenity City's economy.
Tropes include...
Hearts: The entertainment and nightlife district of Serenity City, as well as the location of the residential neighborhood of Autumn Hill. There is a lot of nightclubs, storefronts, casinos, legal brothels, saloons, hotels, various other entertainment and shopping venues, as well as a massive carnival.
Tropes include...
Clovers: The poor, run-down, and crime-ridden slums of Serenity City and generally the most violent and decaying part of Serenity City, and Lunaria as a whole.
Tropes include...
Diamonds: The quiet, peaceful residential district of working-class and middle-class neighborhoods. A little bit of everything can be found here, but beneath the tranquil bliss lies something darker....
Tropes include....
Crowns: The wealthiest district full of mansions, palaces, and gated communities.
Tropes include...
Now, we move onto the rest of Lunaria. There are a lot of regions outside of Serenity City, and let's take a look at them, shall we?
Ghostwood Hills: A vast mountainous woodland area bearing strong similarities to Central Appalachia. Full of small towns and coal mines, and is also sparsely populated.
Tropes include....
Sandy Shores: A long and vast beach area with hot springs, tourist attractions, and a small Japanese village.
Tropes include....
Majihal Desert: An arid, Southwestern-styled desert in the far reaches of the land.
Tropes include...
Frostmoon Mountains: A cold, frigid area in the northernmost parts of Lunara, full of taiga forests, snowy mountains, glaciers and fjords, and some arctic tundra.
Tropes include...
Jade Forest: A strange, bizzare land in the most remote parts of Lunara, inhabited mainly by primitive tribes and strange creatures.
Tropes include...
Paradise: A holy dimension of good, outside of Lunara, the residence of the good, and inhabited by divine creatures such as angels, archons, titans, good deities, and the like. Inaccessible to players at first, but will be accessible to players later as the story progresses.
Tropes include...
The Infernal Abyss: A dimension of evil, home to demons, devils, and evil deities. Inaccessible at the beginning of the RP, but will be accessible as the story progresses.
Tropes include...
That is the last of the settings for now. Now, onto the media outlets...
There are many radio stations in Lunara, each with their own genre and format...
And that's the main radio stations in Lunara. Next post will detail NPC's, factions, and character creation.
