The origin for it is unknown, but it has attracted a hub of powerful duelist's known by the media as a 'Battle Mania' with the city quickly becoming a hot spot for duelling. Though as the people duel through the city, Machinations begin behind the scenes... A darkness beneath the neon night. Welcome to Verdant Dreams [/i] [hr] [h3]Lore tidbits[/h3] [Hider=Hyacinth] [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/627275119835873320/627275134692098128/55261ec37bbe846c3e0311a040467eb4b4ee7d0b.png]The First Sunrise of the Month[/url] [i]Hyacinth was founded 200 years ago, and while it initially started off as a just a minor city on the map, The discovery of Soul draw lead to a massive industrialisation and building effort in the last 10 years, as company wanted to invest into what was effectively the gold mine for advertising (due to the popularity of Duel Monsters), as well as to research into the phenomenon of Soul Drawing, The McCalister Group, is at the forfront of the contract work for the city expansion. However not all is so bad! Due to the the promises of the mayor of the city, Long-time livers in the city didn't have to deal with the tax hike that the new comers would deal with As the city became the hotspot for dueling. Still the change in culture from a scenic nightlife of a quiet city walk. To a bright and brilliant day and night of duels all around is quite a thing to witness![/i] [/hider] [hider=Soul Draw] The remarkably rare process of drawing a card straight from ones own soul, A soul draw is a once in a life-time event that can occur when the duelist is in a tight spot or under emotional duress. And even then the number of people capable of performing one is limited by an unknown factor. The card created by a soul draw is also continuously evolving alongside its duelist, becoming more powerful the tougher the duels it gets into! (The In-universe explanation for an evolving custom card) [/hider] [hr] [h3]Rules and Mechanics[/h3] [hider=Custom cards] Players will be limited to a Single custom card, and any potential evolutions relating to that card over the course of the rp. It must be stressed the card needs to start out in a form that can be seen as 'improvable', An example of this is Stardust dragon, and its evolve into Shooting Star improving on all of its effects. So bare this in mind when creating your customs. Likewise also bare standard thoughts of powerlevel, Its not a good idea if the card is just a stickied on board wipe. If you are having particular difficulty creating a series of cards, feel free to ask! [/hider] [hider=Custom Rule: The Boss Monster Brings his Cronies] So as we all know MR4 makes it extremely necessary to bring link monsters even for archetypes that can be seen as purely 'synchro' or 'Xyz' like Synchronous or Gagaga So this is a rule I am implementing to remove the strict requirement for links in those types of decks that can be seen as 'purely' one extra deck type. The way the rule works is if you control a 'Xyz, Fusion or Synchro monster' in your extra deck monster soon. You can over/fuse/synchro/ that are the same type as that monster (e.g if you control a fusion monster in that zone you can only fuse more fusions) that are a lower level/rank then that monster. Standard MR4 rules still apply in all other cases. This is done as a way to try to bring links and their associated cards into play without forcefully causing decks to have to use them. [/hider] [hider=Other Mechanic Rules~!] [h3]Banned cards[/h3] Anything on the TCG and OCG banlist, however, if something is banned on one list and yet limited on the other it, it is limited. Same is true for cards that are not banned on one list (which makes the card playable at three) [i]Note![/i] Just remember I will be curating decks to avoid anyone going too crazy with the resulting freedom. We are going for story duels that are cool and flavourful, over meta slogs. Also, if you can, do try to justify why you as a player would have one . If you don't have one you can very much earn it during the roleplay which would be a good growth for your deck. Try to build a deck with that in mind as earning cards is a very good way of symbolising progression as a character. [h3]How Duels will be played[/h3] Preferably duels will be done with 4k life points in a freeform format where both players are allowed to draw what they please (as long as its in their deck) with the intent to make the duel as exciting as possible for the people involved. Of course in the event that this is unlikely due to player disagreements or the like. It can in the worst case scenario also be done through simulators but this is not prefered.

If you feel like you won't be able to meet a deadline for collabs. Then perhaps this rp isn't for you. This doesn't mean that you can't ever miss a deadline ever, but rather you must give sufficient reasoning why you'll miss one. The reason for this, this time around is because my last Yu-Gi-Oh RP stagnated as a result of player in-activity That said, Players for this RP can app as an inhabitant of the city, or perhaps a duelist that has come to the city hoping to make it big. The options are pretty flexible here. [i]As long as you aren't a Dimension hopping Spirit of a Pharaoh from a different planet[/i] Now with all that said. I hope you join!
