So I've been dealing with a lot of recent events IRL (mainly school) that has led to me having to basically disown the RP's that I was planning on heading at some point due to being busy, and just losing general interest in them after being away from them for so long/not being bale to come up with better plots after having been away for so long.

But, today I am here with a new idea that I really want to do, and that my friends is a Final fantasy-esque rp. The reason being is that After replaying FF6, 7, crisis core, 8, 9, 10 and then getting hyped on the new KH and FF15 trailers, I'm basically on a Square Enix crave-fest at the moment and figured I'd bring this into my RP'ing interest :).

So, what is a Final fantasy-esque rp? Well there isn't anything really "original" about the FF series. It's a standard jrpg series that has trong characters dealing with evil bad guys, rinse and repeat. Still the one big thing we all know about FF that carries into each game are the summons. Whether they're called Espers, Aeons, or w/e else they've been named throughout the series, this is the big thing that always seems to come back to give us some familiarity among the new faces and story that we uncover throughout our play through of each game. So the next question is, what does that have to do with this rp?

Well, this is the thing. For this RP, our characters will each be incarnations of one of the many summons made available to us throughout the entire FF franchise. So, while our characters are going to be actual people going on a journey, the things that make them special is that they'll be attuned to a spirit that grants them special skills and such.

For example, if someone were to make a character who's spiritual affinity was attuned to Shiva, they would probably have the ability to manipulate Ice. If someone was attuned to Bahamut, they could probably fly and use a variety of spells, etc.

So, I haven't worked out an actual story, but I do know I want to pursue this as a concept at least, and I need people that would be interested in doing. I'm looking for 4-5 other people besides myself to be interested in this idea, and then I'll make an OOC where we'll handle characters and make a more developed plot. So, let me know if you want to play :)

Probably won't be ending anytime soon since I come back to one of the FF game every 2 weeks or so. Basically the craving more so sparked the "summons are people in this universe" idea for the rp instead of being the sole driving force behind the int check here. Also, to prevent me having to drop this RP like my other ones, I'm probably going to recruit a CO-GM to work with me on plot so that it doesn't just go dry one day.

So Desperado and Jannah are definite interests, Poet is still a maybe. Okay, so we need at least 2 more confirmed interests in this, and then I'll start working on an OOC

This looks really interesting, but the only final fantasy game I have ever played and finished is Dissida Duodecim. Would that be a problem? Or would I be fine as long as I read the wiki and whatnot?

@Fox: Basically all you're going to need for this RP is knowledge of the summon that's gonna be involved with your character. You can't choose ifrit and not know it's a fire based summon etc. So really all you need to do is wiki the summon that you'll be having your character be and

@Poet: I just used the word "attuned" when i wrote without really thinking lol. They will be incarnations of their summons though, so their soul is that of the summon you choose. This means that yes, they will have a semi metamorphose ability where while they still hold a humanoid form, they will have characteristics of their summon spirit. Like Ifrit would probably be partly on fire, have the horns they have, claws, etc. This will be a more final thing though. It'll start of merely being able to use some of the magic that the summon would use. The mid ground is something I'm still working out though. I know how I want to start, with only magic skills related to the summon, and ending with the transformation ability, but no idea what to do with the inbetween periods (something a co-gm would probably be helping me with.)

Anyways, it seems like we've gathered enough interest to garner an OOC, but here's a warning.

This isn't first come first serve. I'm going to be choosing RP'ers based on the CS that they provide to me, so I'll leave an Open period for 3-5 days of CS application time, then after that I'll close applications and then choose 4 or 5 people based on what I've received. So, this basically means don't be dissuaded by seeing 5 or more people already turn in a CS :)

Anyways, I'm gonna get to work on an OOC, and I'll have something for you guys in a few hours.
