| Hello, this is the World of Matar! Where we tell grand tales, and also manage to fit in the odd complaint about what have you. But we love each other. Well most of us. Well, some of us. Well, one of us. Maybe. Basically, here's how it goes down: There's the General Discussion for anything, hence the "general". And the Introductions and Farewell section for, well, introductions and farewells. There's TWoM RP with three sections, and a fourth one coming soon when the story demands it, for role playing, a Codex section for your questions, and some Guidelines. There's the Fantasy Role Plays for all other original RPs (Role Plays), and not just fantasy but sci-fi and what not. Currently there is... nothing. Yeah. Kinda depressing. There's the Fan Based RPs for when we want to RP either as people from games, books, or movies or base the RP off of said published work. Currently we have Final Fantasy I and I believe that Fate/Stay Night is getting started. There's the Creative Writing with story time where residents can both write and read original stories from creepypastas to fanfictions to ramblings. And soon enough there may even be a Blog section there as well. There's the Battle System section all on its own, this is a proto-system headed by Metal Neil and may one day be implimented into some RP. Or not. We're not sure about all that. Join our community!

So to sum it up, my new pitch for CA is cutting down some of the branches and simplifying rosters overall. Everyone will have one central protagonist character. Singular. Uno. They will be your main and all heaven and earth moving pleas will be ignored. Things about your main that you know is that they'll be regular old schmucks. Normal powered people. Maybe even you yourself will be your main. So wait, will you get abilities? Oh yeah probably, but you'll never reach godlike strength. So um. How do you fight in this? Taking a page from Shin Megami Tensei and Fate Stay Night, and I guess Pokemon really, you'll be able to summon a warrior to do your fighting for you. So let me lay down a couple of main points I have in mind for this. 1. You can only have one main character. This is like your avatar in the RP, so make them as relateable as possible. I don't limit you to humans, but I do insist that they be OC's. 2. Each person starts off in the adventure with one warrior. This 'starter' for want of a better word complements your OC's weaknesses. If you're smart, then they'll be strong, if you're strong, then they'll be strategists or mages. And so on. From then on you'll be given opportunities to get others, but you can only have one manifest at a time during combat. Outside, I freely allow you to have them all out at once. 2b. I would love it if your starter was also an OC, but I don't necessitate that. And once again, as long as you don't go madly overboard (getting really powerful characters will have consequences and drawbacks), you may pick whoever you want. 2bb. As neutral characters, you are free to pick any alignment, but you'll have to play the justifying game if you want to do something like join team Good with an Evil character. 3. The premise is something quite similar to the old CA, but there's going to be a lot less stuff going on in the background. Namely it's a tournament between five gods representing Order, Chaos, Good, Evil and Neutral. Your summoned warriors will be familiar with the mechanics of the contest, necessitating a lot less explanation dumps. 4. You will probably have to run more people, but they will be strictly for the necessities of the plot and subject to the same rules as your main. 5. Everyone starts out on Neutral, but I freely allow you to change sides to one of the others as the plot develops. 6. Fights will happen, and they'll happen quite regularly, and they'll probably be scripted to some degree, but I'll discuss it beforehand and you can call for it to be randomized, at which point we'll break out the dice. 7. I will NOT pick up about seventy dozen people this time if we go with this. 8. Seriously, not seventy dozen. 9. Or any more than that number. So how would a thing like this start? Well you'd have your main going about whatever their daily business is (personally I'm going to break the mold a bit and revisit a concept I liked, but I executed poorly at the time, instead of my usual army of badasses). Then weird time stuff goes down and they'll find themselves in the Akashic Records, which once again is made up of everything. All the games, all the books, all the things. Go nuts with locations. Shock of shocks, your character will then run into a Corruption! Oh no. The challenge for entry into the tournament is to overcome the enemy, as announced by a mysterious voice. Your character looks down on their arm and they're armed with a gauntlet! Or a glove. Or a necklace. A token of some sort. THINGS I WILL ALLOW TO SHAKE THINGS UP - Prior knowledge that shit is going down. - Winning without summoning their guy and learning about it later. - Lesser characters (Not your main) dying against the Corruption. - Accidental team ups. - Hitherto unknown power! Just, y'know, discuss it with me at a point before starting. Having survived that, your character gets a brief (and I do mean brief, I ain't standing around for Q&A sessions in the middle of an operation who does things like that cough not me) explanation of what's going down, and they'll meet the boss in charge. The actual, physical, workable towards goal is to kick the shit out of the other guys, or survive, or enact any of a number of madcap gambits I know you lunatics are capable of coming up with. That's a pretty decent summary I think, but do ask some questions and hopefully tomorrow I'll have an example post of someone getting introduced so you can see what I'm talking about. |

As interesting a concept as this is, I'm still voting for altering CA itself rather than doing an entire reboot. I'd be glad to cut my cast of characters in it down to just Jonah, Cerberus, and Harris, if that's any help. I mean, we've put a lot of effort into CA, and we've come pretty far, and I'm pretty unwilling to just abandon it? We've already got a bad enough track record with finishing RPs as it is, let's not add to it. |
