Latest Updates: Arpegi v5.0.1 - Updated: 02/06/2024 (More patching is more patching.)
Would the Risk and Ease decisions not always give the expected results? Either positively or negatively? That would fit the "against-the-odds survival" theme.
how do you use the dice-rolling plug in?
Ok, got a little idea here. (click to show/hide)This was made in the heat of the moment, so it may be great or horrible. Anyhow, this is what I've come up with.One night, a group of people, with seemingly nothing in particular in common (some may know each other, some may be in the same social circle, but they don't really have anything that links everyone), have a dream. The dream is the same for all of them. A being that cannot be exactly seen, a being of light, asks for help. But the dream is distorted, it's hard to make much out. One thing, though, is certain: the being asks for help in recovering its soul.But it's not that simple: while said being asks for help, other beings, one different from the other, interfere in the dream. Some are telling the group to not help the being of light, while others are telling the group to help them too, and others are blatantly causing interference in the dream. It's gets harder and harder to focus, the group wakes up, all at once.When you, who are part of the group, wake up, you realize you aren't in the place where you fell asleep. You are in a completely foreign land, that feels familiar, yet you've never been here before. Looking around, you realize there are others who look as lost as you! Some look like foreigners, while others look simply out of your time! Wondering if this has any connection with the dream you had that night, you suddenly hear a voice in your head. It seems like you are no longer alone, and that you must choose a path. Which path will you take?-----------------------------------------------------------------I know it kinda sucks, orz but it's what I was able to come up with.NOTES:-Yes, the title came straight out of the title of a song.-This RP kinda is an attempt to give you as much freedom as the Arpegi Original RP, but more restricted.-This RP is not bound by the fabrics of time. Meaning, characters will come from different times and different realities. You can have samurai and futuristic cyborgs interacting amongst themselves as you wish.-This RP will be open-world, but it will have an actual objective, so things hopefully won't disperse that much.-This RP will feature the Soul Partner System (SPS), which will work as follows: (click to show/hide)A Soul Partner is, essentially, an NPC controlled by yours truly. Think of it as room-mate, except you share your mind with him instead of your room. A Soul Partner has differing personalities, and you get to choose one of several when filling out the character form. Also, they are a source of power - after all, we can't let this adventure get boring. Depending on which one you get, you'll have different powers. Also, once you pick one, you'll have to use it until the end of your adventure, so, choose carefully.It'll also feature the Dream System, but that's a secret until it happens in the RP. It's nothing too grand, but I hope it'll be a nice feature.Well, it will probably be a lot of trouble to manage due to the SPS, so if anyone is willing to co-manage it with me, it'd be great.Plus, due to the fact that it'd be a lot of trouble, I won't make a OOC thread until I'm sure at least a few people are interested, or that someone who is able to manage having many characters will participate...Smash, I'm looking at you. xDPlus if this doesn't work here I'd like to try it on another forum as well, but I really hope you guys like the concept, 'cuz I'm craving for RP.Boy, that was a lot of text.

If so, I'm totally in.

Like, no need for giant paragraphs or anything, but it'd be nice to have 2-3 lines a post, ya know? But if it doesn't work out, and/or the majority asks for one-liners, well, we'll have it. I'd like to practise my writing on this, so I'll probably have big paragraphs anyway...xDtl;dr no giant paragraphs, but if you could use things bigger than one-liners, that'd be great. xD Otherwise, one-liners are fine too.
Yeah, Powy's right. I bet that of we can get enough steam going, Smashy'll ought to join eventually.
yeah, I'm with Muddy, NPC idea is good. If I have to do it then my head will go all flizzly-dee.
Well, all right. I'll make the OOC thread soon, then.Before that, I was thinking of making all the Souls beforehand, but I'm now considering crafting souls specific to each character, as tht might be easier. Is that a good idea?
