People like to nudge aside the fact that there's a level of commitment to hosting, and joining an RP. The majority of players don't have it in either case, regardless of how interesting an idea is.

I've been gone so long that I forgot what the status bar was like. It's like coming back to an old apartment, except it's not an apartment anymore, it's just two walls and a lot of heroine addicts.

@RyuShura Well he's in the thread right now, ahaha.
Has the GM been MIA for this long?
"Sure as anyone else. If you want to talk to Lynn about this, I suggest you speak with one of her assistants down at the mail office, just over there," The man explained, pointing Jeff to the left of the grand embassy, "Lynn doesn't speak with just anyone, though. Not without a few weeks notice!"
Jenso narrowly avoided his imminent demise, and found himself above ground, merely yards away from the spikes the surrounded the core. But thinking quickly, he pulled a shard of stone and crushed a small portion of the spikes. They seemed to be more fragile than the rest of the granite, but he still wasn't save just yet.
A Hero Tale


Introduction


Welcome to the official Hero Tale Interest Check thread. I've had several people come to me, curious about 'A Hero Tale' already, and I'm enjoying what I've been participating in so far. Needless to say, I'm always looking forward to more Hero Tales, so I decided to make an interest check for it.

Basics


A Hero Tale is a 1x1 Hero's Journey RP, wherein a character of your choice is pulled into the role of a hero after being faced with an insurmountable danger that ravages their home. You will be playing the Hero as they are before their transformation, Mundane but not without abilities that surpass what most know as normality. Considering the nature of 1x1 RP's, there is room for you to have multiple hero-like characters, but the primary focus is put on whomever you choose to lead the story, and the trials that they will face in the days to come. In most circumstances though, I usually take the role of all NPCs, so that you can focus on the growth of your character(s), offering as dynamic a cast as I can.

Ah, and magic will always play a part, as this is usually a very fantasy-oriented type of roleplay.


Details


Hero Tales start off with a basic catalyst in the form of disastrous conflict, an unknown entity striking cataclysm into your way of life, and pushing you to your limits as you are at the story's beginning. Typically, these encounters are meant to plant seeds from which your character grows, whether it be through a desire for revenge, or a genuine lust for adventure.

Following this Catalyst arc, the story follows a relatively basic series of chapters, along which your character(s) will be faced with trials that force them to learn about not only their dormant powers, but clarity in their resolve. Relationships gained and lost throughout the RP will play a large part in what kind of Hero each character becomes. The primary theme of this RP series is to promote growth. That being said, static characters do not do very well in these settings.

Ultimately, A Hero Tale will depict your character(s) evolution from a mundane nobody, to a hero that plays a massive role in the future of his world. You will meet friends, enemies, and possibly lovers, I merely offer a series of paths for your to take, and of course, events for you to tackle.

It should be noted that this RP will involve a fair amount of combat, and a large cast of characters to keep track of, but one of the biggest things about A Hero Tale, is that I try to adapt to each individual's style and desires. If you prefer combat, there will be more combat, if you prefer interaction, there will be more characters, if you prefer adventure, there will be more intense environments. Furthermore, I try to adapt to the skill level of whomever I'm role playing with. This can vary from Free to High casual, and perhaps on some occasions, advanced. This means that posts can vary from one liners, to several paragraphs, but I try not to overwhelm anyone with post length or redundancy.

Being a 1x1 RP format, I also strongly encourage feedback and discussion for what you would like to do with your characters, what world you would like this story to take place in, etc. The only static factors between all Hero Tales, is the lead antagonizing force, and the universal theory that comes with them.


Getting Started


You can inquire further in this thread, or through PM. Whichever you feel more comfortable with. You may also contact me through skype, if that's preferable to you. I'm looking forward to meeting new people, and sharing ideas.

Thanks for dropping by, hope to see more heroes in the future!
I had lost hope of anyone actually doing anything, honestly. But I'm still here. I literally can't do anything in character until somebody uh.. Acknowledges Gaius. Well, less that I can't 'do anything' more that I simply don't want to.
I think I'm going to close Scattered shades from here, and allow you two to have a deeper role in the next Arc if you wish it.

@Necrophage I'm to assume that you would be too busy to post consistently in a remaster of S-S, but if you think otherwise, let me know.
I haven't read everything yet, but I'm interested in joining, assuming you're still accepting new players? Just wanted to check in advance.
I'm just waiting on an OOC.
As soon as Jenso dug his way into the ground, it closed up and trapped him. Orobo had total control over earth, and Jenso had just sealed his fate with that one move. The granite moved closer to his head, almost pressing against his ear. It seemed that there wasn't much he could do to escape..
