Hey lads, you all may not know me (well, a lot of you do know me since I was the GM for the last one...) but I've asked permission from the GM, and done a little bit of prep work already, so I'm going to officially introduce myself... as the temporary GM!! Supertinyking, like others have said, has some real life problems to take care of, so I'll be taking his place until those get resolved.

Now this may feel sudden and out of nowhere; and it'll feel somewhat pointless (if you were from the old RP) to be having a new thread and new GM (at least initially) and then to just go back to the old one, but... that is all pretty much dead on. It was sudden, maybe not out of nowhere because STK already wasn't communicating for some time before he officially told us about his problems. But somebody's gotta start something, and I do at least have a baseline of experience to work off of.

That being said, what'll end up happening is hopefully going to be just as much up to you guys as it is to me. Since, what ended the last RP was a good few things, and Real Life was definitely one of those factors; and they could really take me again at any time, I'm sure.

To that end, I'm suggesting a structure to take going forward in regards to our playing the RP. To avoid the RP being stalled on any single person as far as the GM/NPC side goes, stories from now on can go a little something like this. We have a role which is assigned to the player that makes the arc. They're the Plot Master, and the running of the overall arc goes to them.

Progressing stuff and advancing the story is their responsibility. They're the ones with the details about what should be happening, and what's really going on behind everything. But crucially, they don't have to write it all out themselves. They can delegate Scenario Writing and NPC Duty to another willing player if they so choose. The Plot Master will forward the relevant details if they aren't available to write the details themselves, and hopefully this can keep things moving in those times.

At least for me, I will need a couple of people on NPC duty for my initial arcs, but I've already more or less got the right people that can do it. To those people though, this post is definitely the first you're going to hear that I've put you up for NPC duty, so... sorry ^^;.

I have two arcs planned right at this moment which I'll list below;







If anyone I've put up for NPC duty wants to decline, then feel free to tell me in the discord or in here. Speaking of which... I don't know why we don't have the link here (EDIT: Found out why. The links expire in 7 days now). It's the same one from the old thread though, we're still putting it to good use. ^^;

@Letter Bee We don't specifically need to coordinate over discord now. With the way I think I can potentially run things, we don't need to use it all that much. If you still want to join it, tell me and I'll PM you the link.

@Lewascan2 My bet is that we'll start off at a decently fast pace, but we'll slow down eventually to something very much manageable. Once again, real life must rear its ugly heads for us, and we do, and have often had to put off RPing for it. I'm hoping the new structure makes it not nearly as bad as it was before, but... well, I'll leave further details for if you want to ask.

I do recommend you go ahead and join the discord if you're worried about that kind of thing. We can coordinate character responses around each other easier over there, so we don't have to trip over characters that can't be moved. You wouldn't have to be in the server much, just occasionally we'd like to hear you say "Oh, I need to post for my other RPs so I can't post in this one right now," if that needs happen.


There's still the issue of approvals which I've asked STK on whether I have the authority to do or not. But besides that, we can start as early as tomorrow potentially if these arcs seem good to all of you. Afterschool Incursion does only take place in one school, but I haven't exactly decided which one yet. It's just whichever has the most players that would want to do it.

If you all also have other ideas for starting arcs for your characters, I'd love to hear them and run them with you if you want. This RP is the space for all of our ideas to come together, so really, don't hold back on my part! I know my own limits, and will express them as such if necessary.

And with that long post out, I'll be going to sleep soon. Once again, we could start tomorrow if we're all happy with it, I'm ready whenever you all are ready!

Coolio. I'm actually far more partial to the eventual slower pace, since that will let me actually participate comfortably. Only one of my RP's really has hard deadlines on posting (or get kicked out), but other than that, the other groups are chill/flexible enough that I should be able to handle a slightly faster pace for a while. We'll see how things go.
On the Discord thing, I must be blind or something, but I've been looking both here and the old thread and can't find the link. Which page of what section is it on?
EDIT: Nevermind, after much searching, finally found it after someone apparently equally baffled asked.

Character sheet accepted hype!

I know they've got the fewest students so far, but you've certainly got 1 vote of interest from Lord Kiburi's for Afterschool Incursion. The setup for this scenario sounds like it's right up the reasonable alley for Chinami to be involved... much to her chagrin.

This first Royal Rumble was pretty fun, so I'll see if I can brew up a sheet.

Midnight is up and ready to go guys! You can either pick a fight between your characters or you can fight an NPC if you want. Or if you want to keep the process somewhat expedited you can have a bunch of pre-fight banter between you and your opponent to just sort of introduce your characters and we can leave the fights in the background while maybe plot stuff happens in the foreground

Yo, just a quick heads up to any who have yet to chime in who are (or aren't) in the Discord, we have three available arcs now, and these are who have chosen/been assigned to them thus-far. If you wanna get in on the ground floor, might want to voice your interest in a particular one before things really get rolling!

(First 3 Arcs.)

Midnight (mentioned above): Andras, Vera, Michael(?), Pizza Time (Parker)

Afterschool Incursion (mentioned above)(takes place at Clausewitz): Alyona, Cel, Wolf

"Therapy" (NEW)(much description, very wow, yes): Chinami, Ken, Reverio

The 3rd "Therapy" clinic plotline has the most mystery surrounding it (might even be a mystery solving/investigation plotline). Multiple characters have been lured there for reasons either legitimate or faked. Looking for sinister undertones in a place that claims to heal the mind? This might be the place for you. As one of the players in it, however, I'm as blind as everyone barring the one running it, so take my words with a grain of salt. :3

Post #2 done! If you're participating in it right now, you'll have heard the scream but your characters aren't necessarily in danger yet. There's an epicenter starting from around the NPC girl's location. It's up to you to decide how far away you are, but your goal is to uncover the source and to put a stop to it, one way or another. Good luck!

@Letter Bee No rush.

Also, I was asked the layout of the building by Lewas, so...

Don't worry too much just yet. I'll just say that it's a fairly large building. I'll work on giving a better idea of the layout if/when it becomes relevant. That said, in my next posts I'll try to give a better description of where you are once your characters have been introduced and things are truly in motion.

@Letter Bee@Lewascan2@Dezuel

To be clear, the things happening to you three are NOT happening at the same time, I'm just playing them all out simultaneously and, presumably, your individual plotlines will eventually converge.

Name: Erisse Augusta Narrativia.

Age: 25

Grade: N/A

Biography: The Narrativias were a family tasked by the God of Stories to record the ongoing tales and epics of the world; heroic and villainous both, and guide worthy warrior's hands to their victory, romantics to a chance at true love, and those who yearn for redemption for an opportunity to get it. This has made them masters of infilitration and magical surveillance, explorers of the physical and spiritual worlds, and translators of a hundred languages. And above all, mentors of a hundred heroes, crafters of five dozen magical relics, and healers of a hundred fatal injuries, sicknesses, and disorders.

Erisse was all right with that, but her brother, Kyros Narrativia, was not. Kyros wanted to be a hero himself, to use his knowledge of how Narrative worked to solve others' problems for them. He knew better than they did, can glimpse tropes and plot devices at work and even invoke them. Why shouldn't he have a turn saving the world? The answer was that someone who thought like that was not worthy to be a hero, that he didn't realize that heroism meant something, and he'd only cause more damage to people than he actually fixed. Neeedless to say, Kyros ignored the advice he was given and went off on his own.

Whenever Kyros went, he caused disasters in his wake, and Erisse had to clean up after them. Broken relationships, revealed secrets, lost trust and a trail of dead people and destroyed neighborhoods, that was the damage her brother caused. However, she was going to find him and put a stop to it, going to find him and... And... What would she do? Reason with him? Fight him? Maybe even kill him? Or should she just yield to her own desires and join him in trying to make things right?

Let Fate be the judge.

Powers:

Core Power: Narrative Role of the Fairy Godmother - The specific blessing given her by the God of Stories, Narrative Role of the Fairy Godmother allows her the power to vaguely sense a person's current needs, whether it be food and water, good advice, clothing and weapons, and grants her a mystic reserve of energy which allows her to conjure any mundane item she has seen, read about, or personally handled. However, she needs her other powers in order to produce anything with magical attributes.

First Power: Workshop of Heroic Desire - Erisse, by talking with a potential Hero or Heroine about their hopes and dreams for thirty minutes or an hour, is able to establish a mental bond with them which allows her to craft a magic item, not necessarily but often a weapon, which allows them to achieve their hopes and dreams more quickly. However, the hero/heroine has to be sincere.

Second Power: Bottomless Storage - Erisse has access to a lifeless parallel plane that exists alongside the real world and universe as a whole. Because of this, its size is effectively bottomless, and it exists in concert to all other places at once. Erisse can transport herself or items to or from this plane at will, but not other living beings. She is unable to transport a singular object larger than a tank in this way, and targets must be freely movable and not nailed down or otherwise physically tethered to the world in some way. For example, she could transport a chain link or the shackles linked to it but not an intact fire hydrant that is built into the ground.

Because the pocket dimension is connected to all places at once, Erisse can teleport anything inside it, including herself, to anywhere else that she can remember or visualize well. This cannot cause the phenomena known as "telefragging", so the transportation will only succeed if the destination is sufficiently spacious. In this way, she can easily clear vast distances, and merely being able to see the horizon is sufficient to burn it into her memory well enough to jump there.

Third Power: Narrative Role of Familiarity - To get a story, sometimes one has to get close to people. This power makes doing that easier by making people think Erisse Augusta is part of their inner circle. For example, Erisse can use NRoF to give herself the 'Narrative Role' of 'School Teacher', making people beleive that Erisse is genuinely a Teacher in any of the Schools in Rhea, including the ones with Magical powers.

That said, there are drawbacks: Narrative Role of Familiarity does not alter one's abilities, powers, or physical capabiliites. That means that you can make yourself part of a paratrooper unit yet not be able to use a parachute right. Or join a world-class chef competition yet not be able to cook. So Erisse has to be careful. Not just that, but Anti-Magic can break NRoF when Erisse is touched by someone with this power.

Narrative Role of Familiarity is stronger when:

1.) There is a set number of 'slots' in the organization to be infiltrated and one of them is empty.
2.) A member of the said organization or someone that said organization trusts vouches for Erisse.
3.) If false evidence supporting the altered memories of the infiltrated organization is planted; the more believable, the better.
4.) The infiltrated organization does not have a set limit of members at all.

However, Narrative Role of Familiarity is weaker when:

1.) There is a set number of roles in the infiltrated organization and all of them are filled up.
2.) If a member of the infiltrated organization is naturally paranoid to the point of distrusting their own memories.
3.) If Erisse is called upon to use skills expected of a member of the organization, but she does not have.
4.) If someone else uses memory-altering magic on the infiltrated organization.

Erisse can reflexively exempt any person she wants, preferably an ally, from the effects of Narrative Role of Familiarity, preferably if they can keep their own mouths shut. Also, this power is ineffective against anyone who actively realizes that it is being used; that's why the second set of conditions weakens the power's potency.
