You've been summoned to another world!

You always knew you were the main character of a story not yet written, and you finally have the chance to prove it.

With your new incredibly overpowered abilities, you set off on your adventure.

But what's this?

There're four other people here, and they're all equally as overpowered and main character-like as you!

Do you have what it takes to prove you're the real main character?!
Oh, and maybe you'll help.... save... the... world... too?



Main Character Wars is an Isekai RP with a twist. Five heroes have been summoned, but all of them are ludicrously powerful, while also all being worthy of the main character title in any other normal Isekai setting. 'Surely I'm the real main character?!' is the question that should be running through all of your minds.

Competition is the name of the game. Your characters will be facing many of the typical Isekai clichés such as goblin caves, random dungeons, demon lords, and powerful dragons, but with the unique position of being able to dust them all solo without breaking a sweat. The real threat is that someone will steal your podium and hog all the glory which should rightfully be yours.

Fame, fortune, and, like, a harem, I guess? Could all be yours. But, you'll have to work hard to steal the spotlight, and prove once and for all that you're the true main character of this RP.


Details

As was stated in the premise, unfortunately I can only take around five of you for this RP. I recognized from the outset that this premise doesn't support a large amount of players. It would greatly from focused group dynamics, and will likely require a lower amount of players to be fun. The goal of this RP is to have fun in the end, so while it will be a structured experience, it has that structure to make sure things operate smoothly and in an enjoyable manner, as you'll see below.

Main character archetype - the primary character creation element of this RP. You'll choose a popular, or at least recognizable, or basically just any type of established isekai main character to play as for this RP. The type of isekai or anime protagonist your character is may inform their powers, and will also affect their group dynamics and how they choose to present themselves as a Main Character. The trope-ier, the better. Some examples are listed below;


  • Lone Wolf(Emo) - I don't trust anybody, except for when I do. I don't play well with others, except for when it turns out I'm exactly the right person and class for the job because that's how the story usually goes, you know, like, you'd want a balanced team. Except for when people get summoned by 'accident' and get betrayed and called trash in the first 20 minutes of getting summoned. Like… ??? Anyway, no one understands me. oVo
  • Bright Protag(Friendship) - I am a soft buoy, I only want good things for me and my friends, and my childhood friend. I only have one childhood friend because you can only have one childhood friend in total. I have the power to protect them from just about anything except for when there's someone stronger than me. Except I'm actually stronger than them because I just have to use my powers in a different way. No I will not be taking questions. No tears in this playthrough pls. :)))))))


Sub character archetype - auxiliary character traits which can serve to complement your main archetype, or spice things up a bit in general. They're similar to main character archetypes in the sense that they define your character, but they also offer tangible RP benefits depending on the archetype you choose. I'll provide some examples below, but you can come up with your own. Choose one only.


  • Tsukkomi - The dynamic art of playing the straight man in ridiculous situations. You get to take a verbal action immediately after a terrible joke from an ally, regardless of your initiative. You also get to automatically land a slap, noogie, or any other comedic physical action as a Tsukkomi after building up enough Tsukkomi meter after consecutive Tsukkomi(tsukkomis?) on the same ally.
  • Tsundere - The dere is inevitable. A Tsundere often puts up a cold exterior which eventually gives way to a warm interior. Acting cold towards others builds up a 'Tsun' gauge. Depending on how much Tsun gauge is built up, acting 'dere' will expend the Tsun gauge and disrupt any other ally's main character potential for a short time, unless it happens to be a romantic situation in which nothing happens.
  • Kuudere - This character is as cool as a cucumber, all year round. Acting cool gives a passive bonus to initiative except for when it doesn't. Because it's cool to be the first one to act, but it's also cool to be just late enough to save the day. Similar to Tsundere, acting cool builds up a Kuu gauge, and acting dere expends it to disrupt an ally's main character power.


Power Restrictions - there's not gonna be that many because I want you to be overpowered. Still though, I'm gonna say no omnipotence, omniscience, or that kinda stuff. It'd just kind of be a pain in the ass to deal with. I would say no full altering of reality but I could be convinced for a little bit of reality altering? I mean kind of the nature of a lot of the popular ones in isekai stories are reality altering, so…

You should all probably be overpowered but with a limit is basically what I'm saying.

Equipment - If you wanna have like a sacred sword, or like demon sword and whatnot then I'll probably say you can have it. Just be warned though, there'd be a lot of leeway to play around with items and that kind of stuff in the actual RP. If you want to do something Gilgamesh style then sure, that'd be fine. As long as it's to do with your powers, then I'll probably be fine with it.


Character Sheet




I mean by this point you know everything but here we go. Now it's not gonna be a first in best dressed kind of situation, since that ain't exactly fair for everybody. I'll pick a method to pick who later on tbh. It's getting kind of late, and I have some assignments due soon which I need to work on. Don't ask me when the deadline is, I don’t know yet. I don't even know if I wanna be the one who gets to pick who comes along either. I'll probably figure it out later.

There's further details which aren't in this post, but they'll be more relevant when we get to playing the game. Ask me about how posting will work and what initiative is if you want to find out about 'em. I'm heading off to sleep, see you all in the morning.

Oooh a chance for almost completely broken character designs? How could I not be interested? First, however, I will need to take care of some other roleplays that I'm part of that aren't going anywhere.

I actually really like this idea and my only misgivings are the worry that I won't be able to figure out something workable for it and that I'd probably end up turning things into Konosuba. XD

But we'll see how things turn out I guess.

@Rin if yah really need help, then like I said, I'm here for that. :D

I can't be making my own character for this, but I can certainly help to come up with stuff to use.


Also kind of glad people are liking this concept. Nice thing to wake up to. :)

Right, if this doesn't get any more takers by tomorrow, I'll just go ahead and start working on the ooc thread. 6 is probably a good enough number, I thiiiiink I'll be able to manage. It'll take me a little bit to start working on it since there's a few things I need to stabilize with my activities right now. Once I do though, it shouldn't take too long.

Let me know, would you all like to make a discord server or keep it strictly on the site? I can do either, just a little bit more work and a little bit more to keep up with on my end.

Personally I would prefer a discord OOC with on-site IC. Question though, if you end up with more players, will it be a first-come first-serve or a competition type selection?

@RoflsMazoyI'd probably prefer just an on-site OoC but if everyone else thinks otherwise I guess I'm fine.

Hmm. I'm going to withdraw for the time being, as while the sheet I have is almost finished, I just don't feel like the character concept I'm going with fits very well.

@Idea it's probably just gonna be whichever characters seem like would be the most fun together. I think the way it would end up going would be I'd ask for you guys' preferences for which characters you'd like to play with, and load 'em up into a spread sheet and judge the pairings for myself.

@ZAVAZggg Sad to hear that :( maybe stick around a bit, see if somebody else's character doesn't inspire you? But yeah, good luck on whatever else you'll be doing from here on out.

@June Billson @Dead Cruiser Also, welcome my lads, hope you have a good time :D

Everybody else, OOC still has not been started but I more or less know what I'm going to add at this point and the setting details. You'll probably have to give me 2-3 days, although maybe I could swing one by tonight or tomorrow night since it seems like my workload got a little bit lighter.

@RoflsMazoy I'll probably be going with some type of summoner who's a deadpan snarker and a hinedere.

I'll probably stick around to see what other's come up with, just to get an idea of the character type's that will be in this, but I still don't feel all that sure about putting my sheet into as of now. Something about the CS I've made just feels off to me.

I see. That being the case, I’ll be pulling out this time. Not a big fan of these competition models of selection.

Still, I wish everyone staying aboard the best of luck and happy roleplaying!
