Slice of Life/Anime Based Roleplay Discussion

Maybe a fantasy village near some special area like a frontier or magical zone, where all player characters are members of that village or are staying in it?

medieval includes fantasy or is realistic medieval? I find it hard to do actual slice of life in realistic medieval, but its not impossible.

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

Any Eta on when the RP will start ^^ ?

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

@Morgan Wren perfect thank you.

I think I will give it another day to hear back from everyone about Arc ideas and let the last two finish their characters. Once we get all that set we will be good to go.

@Juvvie

Annalyse's CS mentions joining during the 'festival', maybe that could be a starting point? Heck, come to think of it, I could also dial back Avinne so she is also seeking to enter the guild instead of already being a member should it fit the narrative. It gives a strong starting point.

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

I don't think it would be an issue. I also predict not all players will always be open to RPing in every mission, so having some buffer to guarantee at least a small team in each one would be nice.

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

Avinne

Name:
Avinne Azurca

Age:
17, almost 18.

Guild:
Fairy Tail

New or Veteran Member:
Recently accepted

Location/Color of Guild Mark:
On the right side of her torso, chocolate colored.

Magic Type:
Pastry Magic - Caster Magic

• The creation and manipulation of pastries of any type.
• The flavor of the pastries reflects her mood, can be sweet, sour, bitter…

• Spell: Hardtack - Creates a special summoned bread that is heavier and more durable.

Magic Rank:
C

Strengths:
Creative
With observant eyes and a sharp mind, since before she was a mage Avinne always had a knack for creative endeavors, being able to take inspiration from unusual places and quickly compose them together into something new. With magic, it is not too different, she is constantly trying to (sometimes literally) cook up new tools.

Easy-Going / Carefree
Ranks, wealth, prestige, guilds, these things never get in the way of Avinne. Of course, this makes her a bit cheeky, but this also leads to her being approachable and sociable, rarely ashamed of who she is or judgemental of what others are.

Audacious
She is a risk taker, always a bit ambitious though also realistic about it, focusing not on being the best in general but on being the best she can be. She is rarely hesitant in the face of the unknown and, albeit not a daredevil to outright seek dangerous situations, she doesn’t shy from walking on the edge of a cliff if it means winning a race.

Weaknesses:
Limited
There is no workaround it, the magic Avinne uses is very peculiar and needs to be used well to work like other magical abilities, there are no default approaches and most tasks require her to be focused and inspired. Of course, she tries her best, but she is still doing all that work just to catch up, meaning that Avinne at her best is equivalent to some users at their average.

Fussy
Being observant comes with a price, and Avinne rarely does not express the perceived flaws she nitpicks in something. She is critical of every food she eats, a piece of art she experiences, or even magical skill, all said in a polite and casual tone, which can mitigate the frustration caused by it. She often loses a lot of time making sure her outfit is tidy (after spending a good time to pick one), combing her hair, fixing the position of furniture, with most of her money being burned into very specific items.

Flaky / Superstitious
Avinne can be quite eccentric if you get to know her in the long term, her creativity, carefree attitude and audacity mixing together in weird ways. She is definitely not someone practical, often going for an unnecessarily unconventional solution when an easy one is already available. Going off on tangents. Having “out there” theories and suspicions, and being very susceptible to superstitions. Thankfully she is indolent or lazy and takes her missions with seriosity… though it can help to make sure the instructions are clear.

Personality:
Avinne is a sweet girl with an air of grace and elegance, though these are just the first impressions, it does not take long for one to see the girl’s more eccentric and irreverent side. She is a friendly person, sometimes a bit cheeky, but still someone that is naturally kind. Before she focused on magic she tried out many sorts of artistic expression and sees magic very much in the same way, even if the application of it is more active. While not selfish, she is not exactly selfless either, in allegoric terms, she would share a meal with someone who is hungry but would not starve for the sake of someone else.

Background:
The girl has a very mundane background, in truth. She lived in a small town in the countryside and grew up a relatively normal life as the single child of a middle-class family, her most distinct aspect being her ability when it came to drawing and her large apetite. She could use magic since she was young, but just never told anybody or realized it was uncommon, this fact just being discovered by others when a friend accidentally dropped her own birthday cake into the floor and Avinne just snapped another one into the table. From there onward she was led into the world of magic and told not only about how much more she could do with her skills, but also about the tales of the mages of the past.

The girl quickly came to love that aspect of her life and to her, it was as fun to try magic out as it was to draw or talk with friends. Soon the possibility of joining a guild came to her mind, and there was none that interested her more than Fairy Tail, it felt like they would be the only ones who would not be judgemental of her skills.

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

@Juvvie I am planning on playing a newcomer so at the start her powers would be quite primitive.

The basics are simple, the power to create and manipulate pastries. The character's most fundamental battle strategy is to be a nuisance, not only overpowering senses such as vision and smell with a barrage of desserts but also making the floor slippery, disrupting fire users or even water users.
One of her spells would be to create very hard bread that acts as either as a shield of limited durability or to bash someone, nothing too crazy, below a wood stick in impact.

Latter spells could include making really large pies that could cushion someone's fall or be an obstacle, creating chocolate bombs covering people in chocolate that hardens over time or even an ultra-specific short range teleport ability in which she can burst out of large enough cake as if it was a pop out cake. As a few examples.

Basically, a utility toolset with no real "punching" power but that is quite flexible.

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

How are the rules on creating new types of magic? Is it allowed? I have two ideas right now and the one I am leaning towards one that would use Pastries (since I always loved the weirder powers in Fairy Tail, like Solid Script or Wool)

Fairy Tail--The New Generation

This seems interesting. I will try to make a sheet tomorrow, I did like Fairy Tail back in the day... But that has been a long while ago now, gotta unrust my knowledge about world rules a bit.

Let's Play Lexicon! (sort of)

Interested, world building is something I already do all alone, so with others it ought to be more interesting.
