RP Discussion

Me-trop-o-lis. /mɪˈtɹɒpəlɪs/ noun. A large, busy city.

Your character finds him or herself stranded in a large metropolis. How did he or she get there? Why is he or she there? Why do all the people there claim to be from other worlds? What is this mysterious crystaline castle in the middle of the city that no one can enter? Needless to say, you and many others are trapped in this metropolis, searching for the answers to these and many more questions.

If you think this sounds like a fun RP then feel free to sign up! However, we do have a few rules.

  • No Original Characters. This is a crossover RP, and having original characters defeats that purpose. Customizable characters may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
  • Only one character to a player. An inseparatable duo may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.
  • Godmodding by autohitting (hitting another player's character without letting him or her defend himself or herself) and ghosting (constantly dodging attacks of other players without regard to how possible it would be) is strictly prohibited. It's no fun if the players are not on a relatively equal footing.
  • No character above Lottery Weight will be accepted without nerfing. While this may be a metropolis, we do not want to see Superman juggle planets.
  • No character who either can't be killed or can resurrect.
  • No references to characters being fictional in the actual RP itself.
  • The GMs may change the rules at any time, but any rule changes will not be retroactive. The GMs will inform people in the sign up of any rule changes.
  • Otherwise, fun is the name of the game!

Of course, if you want to sign up, you need a character sheet, so we have provided a simple guide.

  • Name: What do we call him or her?
  • Universe: Where are they from? Please be specific about when he or she has been taken from as well.
  • Appearance: Feel free to link a picture.
  • Powers/Skills: What can your characters do?
  • Equipment: What did they bring with them?

Now that that's done, if you are still interested, feel free to sign up!

Characters Accepted:

  • Appearance: Well, here she is.
  • Powers/Skills:
    • Fly
    • Burn Stuff
    • Burn Stuff
    • Burn Stuff
    • Resurrect Endlessly. This isn't actually as dangerous as it seems, non-lethal injuries don't seem to heal, the pain stacks, and she's abused her health to the point that childish firefly youkai and fairies can equal or surpass her resilience.
  • Equipment: None. Well, her clothes. Cigarettes, maybe. Apart from that? Nothing.

By appearances, she can't control or put out the fire, either. [lol]

Since Mokou's here, this is kind of necessary:

  • Name: Houraisan Kaguya
  • Universe: Touhou Project
  • Appearance: "Look at the staaaaars!"
  • Powers/Skills: Flight, spell cards, danmaku, and not dying. Marginally more durable then Mokou due to having actual defenses and good health, but more susceptible to giving up due to pain, getting tired, or getting distracted by something pretty.
  • Equipment: Spell cards, and the Five Impossible the Collect Artifacts. They're usually used as a channel for spell cards, but the Fire Rat's Robe can be used to protect her from, well, fire.

I have serious doubts that Touhou characters are Lottery Weight or under comparatively, let alone any that can ressurect themselves. I've RPed with people playing them before and I have seen how they could break an RP. Also, those particular two hate each other with a passion. They'll be trying to kill each other throughout the entire RP! I do not believe I want something like that in my RP, since I am aiming for something more lighthearted here.

Superman is Lottery Weight, though, and he's even harder to put down. Also, these two actually fall under Super Weight 2, if you check the scale. 'Snot like the whole 'not dying' bit appears to have left 'em fully sane...

Besides, they balance out~ ^_^

EDIT: It's also more 'Mokou is either tsundere or the living incarnation of Foe Yay', given that she's engaged Kaguya in a food-fight and obsessively returns her rabbits. They don't automatically fight by being around each other. :|

I will vouch for them that they are not over lottery weight. The powersets of those two in particularl don't even put them on the level of, say, Superman or something like that.

...Also, intending to sign up once I figure out who to sign up as. Hurm.

Since you edited, guess I'll have to double-post to get this noticed... Only Mokou hates Kaguya. Kaguya doesn't hate Mokou, but plays along because she's a ditz like that. Their rivalry has been expressed in various non-violent and non-fatal way and they have been shown to be able ot be in a room together for a prolonged period of time without trying to kill each other in canon.

Ahem, uh... Sorry about that. >.<

Well, if Mokou and Kaguya are in, time for Shujiko to- oh yeah, no OC's...

Well, might as well think of a non-Touhou to use...

Canonically, that's not entirely true.

Inaba of the Moon and Inaba of the Earth (written by ZUN, so... Yeah) prominently features those two. It's a lighthearted gag-style manga in which nobody dies. So having those two would work pretty well if they followed that kind of thing, which I think was what they were aiming for.

Also yes, only Mokou is the one hating, and even then there's implications that it's more Foe Yay /tsundere-ishness than outright malice anymore.

Umm... Inaba of the Moon and the Inaba of the Earth. Mokou's flagrantly tsundere. She returns Kaguya's rabbits for no readily apparent reason. [lol]

Besides, the killing each other thing doesn't do 'em any harm, when it does happen. Mokou just goes poetic.

[up][up] That's what happened last time Anno roleplayed Kaguya.*

Mokou got in a fight, got hit by a Master Spark, and ended up in an Accidental Kiss and flustered for the next ten pages. [lol]

One more question. Don't you and Loco have some issues with each other? Are you sure that you want to be in an RP with him?

This isn't the topic that the issues arose in, so I'm sure things will be fine.

I'm not reconsidering joining an interesting roleplay 'cause one person I've argued with is there. Otherwise, I'd join nothing, ever. [lol]

Plumbum, Johnny Cage is accepted.

Raineh, Anno... I'm sorry but I just can't accept characters with the ability to not die or ressurect. Remove those specific abilities and I might reconsider the both of them.

What's the problem with not dying if this is a lighthearted RP? Do you plan on killing them off? I don't see the issue with them being immortal unless you plan on them dying at some point.

That being said, I may, or may not join, seeing how there are several characters I would enjoy rping but am not sure if I have the attention to keep up with this RP.
