Oh no! I hope this didn't fizzle out before it could get off the ground @.@

Been another busy week. I'll have a new post up tomorrow.

Overworld: A Multidimensional RP

@joiedxvivre
I've got a full work shift today, but I'll try to think up my character, and post when I get back :)

@NoxxisI was going to reply but I couldn't think of anything that I could post that wouldn't overstep.

"Home Realm: Open to OC ideas or canon realms? Want a mage from the MtGverse? Go for it!"

The RP is also advertised on the concept of being multidimensional, actively pulling characters from "alternate realms", but the setting it lays down doesn't really cover anything that might lead to the crossover aspect or how it'd work, which along with kinda blanking canon characters anyways made me question the multiversal aspect of it. Obviously, not my game, just felt this all needed to be said because I think it could help polish the starting idea.

@Zero Hex

I honestly don't see any problems with the blank state. There's lots of stories, even rps, whose characters start without having any memory. Also, I don't think the blank state is in fact permanent. The way The GM described it, our characters don't have their memories permanently deleted, just sort of repressed as he mentioned it slowly coming back and getting flashes when exposed to certain things. Eventually, everything will come back to them.
It's sort of the inter dimensional version of jet-lag

Okay so if you take away the things that make a character, their memories that shape their personality and their distinctive abilities, then why not play a more original character of your own make instead? That way you're actually starting fresh, instead of having an existing character but not, which puts us back to my point that it feels like the crossover aspect is tacked on given we don't even have any real explanation or even a plot hook as to how or why it's happening.

Progression is fine and good, of course, though I'd consider that roleplays often advance slowly and rarely reach any manner of endgame, meaning usually betting in the long run doesn't pay off, so it tends to be better to let players start out with a solid base that they can then expand from. Mario can always jump good and he gets better abilities later, as it were.

@Zero Hex

Wait. Aren't we using OCs or is this all strictly cannon?

I think the loss of all powers is an issue. Iconic stuff should probably say, such as Mario's jumping ability.

@Archmage MC

It's not really a 'loss' of powers per say. It's more along the lines of losing the understanding/ knowledge of the powers. I think innate abilities like physical strength, or tough skin stay. Although, I'm not sure how strong the powers will remain after coming through.

So I just need to ask, what's the point of making it a crossover when you take away character abilities and knowledge of origin? And it's all centered on a modern Earth with no explanation for how the actual crossover aspect works too. Wouldn't it be better to just have your own multiverse such as Michael Moorcock's works, RIFTS or similar settings?

@Zero Hex

I happen to think that taking away the memories and abilities is a good idea. It's different from a lot of other multiverse rps I've seen in the past. Plus, having our characters start out fresh allows everyone the chance to get to know each other, without 'egos' getting involved. Plus, it's always more interesting to have characters discover abilities in an rp as opposed to just having them from the start. Personally, I think it gives more incentive for everyone to dedicate more time and energy into the rp.

Interested!
I'll get started on character sheet once I get home. As for characters and abilities are there any restrictions we should keep in mind like worlds or fandoms that are off limits, or?...

Also, I have an idea for an npc faction. Do I put it here or message it to you?

Question: If Kisuke and Yoruichi are still captains does that mean that there's no more vizards, or?.........
