"Humanity has always been fond of telling stories.

Be it a story based off real events. Be it a story inspired by real events. Stories of allegory. Stories of symbolism. Some stories go beyond, limited only by the creator's imagination like grand, epic journeys across the world or new, original worlds that have as much stories as we do. Some stories are a mixture. Like a story that is a fantastical allegory based off real events.

From Beowulf's adventures to Frodo's journey. From Achilles' exploits to Usagi's trials. From the tales of King Arthur and the Round Table to the stories of Twilight Sparkle and the Mane Six. The world has always been teeming with stories, tales and chronicles. And as writing and reading became widespread and the people grew more literate. It should not come as a surprise that the world of stories expanded more and more. Even today it expands still, with no sign of stopping.

And that's not counting reimaginings and retellings. Old stories recycled and given twists. Deconstructing them and reconstructing them. Breathing new life to archaic, ancient stories by using a new way to tell it. Of course, humanity's capacity for imagination is boundless. Original stories still, and will, come out, giving no end to creation.

But not all stories are received equally. Some stories are praised worldly, vindicated, immortalized in history. Some are ridiculed, laughed at, pointed as examples of the worst works to have ever entered the world. Some simply... fade away into obscurity. Only read by a few and then... nothing, forgotten.

...I find it interesting that even these stories have stories to tell themselves... Don't you?"




Hey all! Paul here and I know I'm neck deep in GMing RPs but I've got a Re:Creators itch that needs scratching and thus, this thang.

So this is going to be a Re: Creators RP. If you're not aware of what Re: Creators is, it's an anime where a bunch fictional characters get transported into the real world and have hijinks (both the funny and the non-funny kind). As to why or how is spoiler territory so go watch if you're interested in the premise.

This RP will be following the premise as well as a similar plot. Players are able to play as either the fictional characters or their creators or related people. However, if you're going to be playing as a creator, it is recommended that you make sure that your character be present in the RP either by playing them yourselves or having another person play them.

Characters from real franchises (like say, Saber from Fate/stay night) are allowed to be played but the creation history of that character and its franchise must be different.

Oh and, the main setting will be locked in Japan in the fictional coastal city of Akamagaseki as that location and the events there is kind of central to the main plot.

Here are the character sheets so you guys can begin brainstorming. However, I will reserve the judgment for the OOC proper.

Perfect

Quick question, if they died or were seen falling to their death but not actually dead, can we still use them?

If they die, you can't use them again but you can replace them.

As GM, I'll let you know if your character died for real.

@PaulHaynek do we have to take them from the last game they were in or could we bring them from an earlier game?

Technically it should be the latest but I'm willing to let you choose what point in the timeline the character is from.

The creation history of the character like when it was made and how. You can include some details like what inspired the character and stuff.

You make that stuff up. Remember, the real creation history of the character you're using will be different in this RP.

I've got the idea of playing both as a creator and their creation, namely a spooky girl based on Sadako Yamamura from Ring.

The joke would be that 'Sadako' would constantly be creeping up on people unintentionally, just wanting to make friends but scaring people all the time until they got used to her. This would be particularly annoying for her creator, who had been a screenwriter making the character for a cheap horror film based off a successful doujin they'd made while in high school, with 'Sadako' based on a girl they'd had a crush on at the time.

@Genni

Sounds awesome. Though does she have any combat abilities? 'Cause things are going to get hairy in the RP.

EDIT: I thought I'd get more people but this'll do. Let me work on the OOC proper.

Got char #1 mostly done, behind the scenes background hadn't even started on.

Char #2 & 3 got the easy stuff done, hadn't worked on any background or personality.

Also have to upload pictures of their faces somewhere before I post them here.

Characters are The Warden, Hawke, & The Inquisitor from the Dragon Age series.

Sadako moves practically silently, can teleport through anything with a visual display and can drown people by touching them. She's best used as stealth scout recon, being able to eliminate lone sentries but struggling when dealing with large groups.

Hideki can write fan fiction, can obsess about a girl he'd known years before, and can easily be scared by Sadako when she suddenly appears behind him without making any sound while approaching.

The Hero of Fereldan, the Champion of Kirkwall and the Herald of Andraste?

Would you be making one a rogue, opne a mage and one a warrior, so as to have a balanced team of fighters?

Of course. When I play the video games I always go rogue though.
