I have an idea for a Final Fantasy 7-style game involving Shinra and the SOLDIER program. Each SOLDIER that comes out of the SOLDIER program is imbued with the genes of one summon that they could pick. The materia that that specific summon uses also determines what materia the SOLDIER uses. But basically, the story is that these SOLDIERs will be working for Shinra and protecting the Mako Reactors from the AVALANCHE resistance group. There will be skirmishes and chances for those who like writing elaborate/intricate/artistic fighting posts to do so as they show off their SOLDIER. This will be casual to advanced level writing since I have seen brilliant writers in both categories. If anyone is interested, just drop some interest here, pick a summon, and if I get enough interest then I will drop a CS. This current phase of the interest check is seeing who would be actually interested in this idea.

The way I do things in the interest check is different. What regularly happens every time a interest check goes up is that I will get a lot of interest, let's say for example 10 people show interest. By the time we get CSes done and the OOC goes up, out of those 10 people, only 5 will actually have a CS complete, join the main game, and be ready to go. The others will have gone AWOL. So I prefer writers build their CSes and "ships" in this thread before I kick off the game.

I have also not waited for CSes to be built, kicked off an OOC, and then the entire game was stalled waiting for players to build their CSes (whenever they felt like it), and it just held up the whole game and nearly made it die. This game will not launch without completed CSes. If you are showing interest to this idea, then you have read this and acknowledge that this game will not launch until all the CS business has been completed. There isn't a game that I have ever started that I have never launched. It won't happen. I put a lot of time into building these games and I would like to have dedicated writers who will make these stories awesome and can carry it through. Saying this, if you know you don't have time for this game or room for this game, then don't join. You will do more harm than good.

Game Development Outline

  • Player Interest (at least 5 players)
  • Character Sheet Presentation & Character Generation (need at least 5 complete CSes)
  • OOC


Current Game Phase

OOC is up!


Summons On Reserve

Carbuncle
Odin
Hades
Ramuh
Bahamut


Interested Players











Crest of the Lion It is the crest of the SOLDIER 1st Class that distinguishes them from others. The Crest of the Lion (or Lion Crest) represents Strength and Courage. The 1st Class SOLDIERs are responsible for the most important and dangerous missions. 1st Class SOLDIERs are given special privileges, such as the use of personal items, clothing, and equipment, as well as the right to deny orders assuming any responsibilities from their decisions.

Eagle Wings The 2nd Class SOLDIERs have soared above their former 3rd Class rank. The Eagle Wings represent Resilience and Perseverance. The 2nd Class SOLDIERs are the best among their 3rd Class counterparts and only those distinguished enough ever rise to 1st Class. 2nd Class SOLDIERs are leaders in charge of squads of 3rd Class SOLDIERs and Shinra Troops.

The Sun Crest The crest of the 3rd Class SOLDIER. The Sun Crest represents Passion and Beginning. 3rd Class SOLDIERs are at the beginning of their potential. 3rd Class SOLDIERs perform duties that support the Shinra Troops and their 2nd Class leadership.

SOLDIER is the elite fighting force of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Its members are advanced super soldiers with superhuman strength, speed, and ability. They are much stronger than the Shinra Peacekeeping Troops and the Turks recognized by the glow of Mako in their eyes. Shinra uses SOLDIER for special missions that require the greatest use of force. SOLDIERs in and of themselves are Shinra industrial secrets, and to prevent information from leaking outside the company walls, it is difficult for SOLDIERs to retire. Even if they are allowed to quit, the company would monitor their subsequent actions. Even if they believe they have evaded surveillance, Shinra will follow them for the remainder of their lives, and if the situation calls for it, have them terminated.

Children around the planet dream of joining SOLDIER and becoming 1st Class like several of the 1st Class SOLDIERs already known. To further increase the organization’s popularity, and as a propaganda tool, Shinra has created fan clubs for many of the 1st Class SOLDIERs.

Greetings,

I'm not going to lie. Your overall seriousness regarding the initiation of play is a little over the top for my blood. However, I love Final Fantasy VII. So much so that I can overlook the potential high maintenance in participation.

And I will be calling dibs on Hades

Consider me interested.

I actually have a character that I used in a crossover RP who was originally from FF VIII who I can probably convert to this RP with no trouble.

I want Shiva!

@ELGainsboroughI just make sure the plane gets off the ground. Welcome aboard.

Also, be mindful guys, if I take hours to reply, I am in a different timezone. Also, I return to work tomorrow so I'll be doing that for 9 hrs of my day before I return. So if I get 5 interested people overnight, I'll release the CS when I get out of work.

Also interested. My character idea is either a Gunslinger/Sniper hybrid or a straight up Dragoon style fighter, not sure which one would fit in more. I know I'd like to call dibs on Bahamut for the Dragoon, but if I went with the first idea... I don't know, maybe Bahamut again. I don't know the FF7 summons nearly as well as the other games in the series.

The time period is going to be a little original as I am mostly going to be following the PSX game to "an extent." We're not following it to a T. See this more as an original take on the story because it's going to be what we make of it.

Eh, I'm going to put up the CS soon so just brainstorm over it as you develop the character. I'll reserve Bahamut for you just in case.

@Holy Soldier Did the Wutai War still occur, at least? Is the AVALANCHE being fought more of a large insurgency than the terrorist group Barrett ran? What's the state of the three SOLDIER 1sts?

@CrimmyThe Wutai War still happened, and yes, I am making AVALANCHE more of a big resistance/terrorist group. As to your last question, you should read the Character Creation section thoroughly if you are interested in this game.

I hope to get a co-GM for this eventually. :D

Co-GM Qualifications: You have to be able to read the game, understand the game, know what the GM is looking for in applicants, and be able to answer questions that writers may have in a respectful manner. You will also assist in guiding new players through the application process. You do not have to play a character role in the game. You could solely be a game manager. If you do want a character or wish to role play significant characters/NPCs, or throw some plotlines in there, feel free but be sure to communicate these desires with the GM.

@Holy Soldier

Regarding your restriction of not having more than five skills. This is stated in the materia section. Does this imply that you will only allow five pieces of materia (including/excluding support materia)? Or does this imply five separate skills outside of materia? Or does this imply five skills acquired by leveled materia i.e. if I have Bio and Transform fully leveled that is it?

Second, regarding your weapon profile. You stated we would only have one weapon, is this one primary weapon or one weapon specifically? Would you allow a secondary weapon such as a dagger or combat knife? As you stated SOLDIERs are trained in the martial arts, would this count as a secondary weapon as well?

Elaboration would be appreciated.

Well it appears that there is not an official Out-of=Character thread. So I am assuming you would prefer to have character sheets deposited here to see if it is even worthy of an out of character thread. Let me know what you think.

5 materia slots. How you fill those slots is up to you, but you only get 5. What I check for is to see if you picked materia associated with the summon you chose. Some summons do not have a lot, but you do not have to max out the slots.

Second, regarding your weapon profile. You stated we would only have one weapon, is this one primary weapon or one weapon specifically? Would you allow a secondary weapon such as a dagger or combat knife? As you stated SOLDIERs are trained in the martial arts, would this count as a secondary weapon as well?

One weapon. Dual weapons are also considered one weapon. Utility weapons such as a knife, which can be used to cut things like rope, meat, for cooking or crafting I will allow as an "item," but it won't be considered a weapon. But no, one weapon. This is your character's primary weapon. This is a Final Fantasy 7 game not Call of Duty. Majority of the characters fought with one weapon. If you want to have a character that uses more than one weapon, then make him a basic Shinra troop. They are the closest thing to a realistic non-fantasy soldier.

When your characrer is unarmed, he can still defend himself using martial arts but his martial arts would not be better than the SOLDIER who specializes in hand-to-hand combat (that SOLDIER's prinary weapon).


Elaboration would be appreciated.

I am having everyone put their finished work here. I said I was not going to make an OOC until I had 5 completed CSes because when I make both the OOC and IC because I make them both and post them both at the same time, we are immediately starting. The only people who I will be working with on CSes are new people who did not see this interest check.

Your CS I have only two issues with. I may not be able to see it because I am on my phone, but you never posted your character's name or rank. Besides that, the CS is a go. In the "Character Creation" section, refer to the first two paragraphs in the CS explanation hider where I talk about the name and rank.

@Karl KadaverThat's up to EL to answer. Your CS is good. I see no issues with it. I am going to start designing the OOC and IC though we are waiting for 3 more CSes.
