Slowly -- but surely -- coming back from a long hiatus.

Better known by the name of Tsu. An "advanced" roleplayer with at least five years of experience on/off. In real life, he is a college student studying in Asia, majoring in design-related fields. Outside of this site, he's also a hopeless poet and an indie writer currently working on his first book (as and when he has the time and inspirations to write something). He is also active in the Harry Potter fandom through participating in fanfic competitions/challenges and building connections with gift fics.

INTP; a Pottermore-certified Slytherin but identifies himself as a Slytherclaw who is both witty and ambitious. Considers himself a Denpa Otaku -- a fan of animanga, visual novels and JRPGs, and he's as opinionated about what he likes and dislikes as every other fan out there.

Interested in possibly playing Kain from IV if you'd have me.


Head over to the OOC for the finalized OOC info. :)

I don't plan to have a big group of people for this, so once I've enough players those who are late will be on waiting list until someone drops out...yeah.
Very interested! Is Cloud available to play?


I don't remember anyone who has mentioned him, so yes he's available.

And before I forget...

The OOC is here.


FAQ
< Frequently Asked Questions >


  • "Amnesiac Dissonance": a simple, complete mindwipe...or something else much more sinister?
    I want to stay away from the idea of "strictly a hard and fast, no-memories-at-all amnesia" - rather than brainwashing the characters completely clean, I'd say their old memories are something like a surreal jigsaw puzzle thrown into a mess by whoever brought them to Celestia. Your character will embark on a quest to piece back their past; memories aren't like physical objects with a definite form and they are often greatly influenced by emotions. Remember that they are creating new memories throughout this journey which will also affect their perception of their previous life, reevaluating with a different light, so the memory jigsaw in your character growth plan may deviate from the original canon. Whether your character is able to return back to someone as close as their original self, or someone completely different from who they once were, is entirely dependent on how you develop your character.

    A few things to note before you work on your first IC post:
    • The one thing your character remembers by heart is their own name;
    • Technically they still have their past memories, but their head is so muddled that they think they got hit by a "cosmic amnesia" (for instance, they do retain the knowledge of their personal skills and abilities somewhere deep inside their mind, but they do not know how to use them properly).


  • Since we're playing canon characters, why is there a need to fill up a CS? Can I just direct other players to the wiki page instead?
    While in this roleplay you assume the role of established characters and not OCs, we are not looking for players to stick to the original lore word for word. You know the canon, but you are to deconstruct and rebuild the character beyond what's canon. Also, playing canon roles shouldn't give anyone the excuse to go plagiarize the wikia - this roleplay isn't built around the wikia, after all.


  • Hang on a minute - why isn't the GM playing a character with us?
    While this roleplay is my idea (I can be an aggressive roleplayer where I'll push the plot forward myself rather than taking the backseat and let others take the lead), my aim for Enigma isn't to control the players like an oppressive Nazi. My job is only to guide you, the players; otherwise all of you are on your own to explore Celestia, just like roaming the world map in the original FF games.

    ...On a more personal level, this is my first time being a GM for any sort of roleplay, plus I have a feeling that I'd have my hands full just controlling the NPCs to keep the plot moving, yeah.


  • What about recurring characters, spells and summons? How would those work in this game?
    Recurring Characters: we are well aware of certain elements that span across various titles i.e. Cid, Gilgamesh, to name a few. However, these recurrences do have features that change from one game to another or things that make them unique and easily identifiable to a particular title, which you should be taking into account.

    Creatures & Magic: please check the Codex.

    Moogle: while its function is set as simply your character's other traveling companion (aside from "The Voice"), but we're going to give you the freedom to use any one out of the many canonical Moogle designs (e.g. your character is Cloud who's from VII but the Moogle is from the Lightning Saga games). There are many different looks for the Moogles across the game titles but you're only allowed to pick one per character, so choose carefully, heh.

    Summons: we're not keen on allowing players to own them permanently as depicted in the Lightning Saga games, hence we'll be employing the "temporary contract" system like those in XII and Type-0:
    • They can be called forth ("summon") by your character for a limited time duration before they go back to the void where they're originally from;
    • Players must give up something of equal value (can be physical items or obscure things like memory or relationship with a certain character, etc.) as offering before these mighty beings can lend you their powers.

    Also, as the color scheme and more detailed design of the summons vary in each game, to avoid unnecessary debate you can assume that these summons are nothing but shadow silhouettes while retaining the basic form to tell them apart from each other e.g. Alexander = castle, Odin = demonic knight on a six-legged steed, etc. If you really want to go into the details, you may assume that these shadows can shift their look to the character's understanding (something like how the Greek goddess Aphrodite constantly changes her appearance to appeal to those who set their eyes upon her).

Celestia:
a divine dimension situated in the middle of infinity;
a spiritual dream within a dream.
Brought into this surreal world far away from where you originally belonged,
stripped of your former self - your past, everything you once knew...

Where this place is,
how you were brought here,
why you were brought here...
None of those mattered,
for you will embark on a journey to search for the answers.

However, there is one thing that would constantly haunt your mind:
who are you - a hero, a villain...
Or someone else much more?

I am "The Voice".
My task is to guide you through this uncertainty,
to lead you to the path you desire for, to show you what you are seeking.
Whether you take heed of my advice
or choose to ignore and go your own way,
is entirely up to you.

Remember, you are not alone in this quest:
you will encounter the most unlikely friends;
you will meet foes beyond your wildest imagination...

Now rise, sleeping traveler,
and open your eyes to your new reality---

CHRONICLE
< Plots & Timeline >


Opus 0: Prelude - The Arrival
  • Woken up by the shrill frantic voice of a cute but strange floating creature, you tried to get your bearings - and realized that you didn't know where you were, how you got here...not even your own past. You knew there was only one thing you could do: keep moving forward. But where to?


TL;DR
< Rules >


  • High-casual to advanced standard. (Strictly no one-liners!) Of course, we are not asking you to write novel-length purple prose; rather, the emphasis is on quality such as minimal spelling and typo errors, good grammar and punctuation, proper paragraphing and sentence structure. Proofreading your work before hitting the post button is highly encouraged.


  • Character-driven and interaction-heavy. Do expect lots of psychological drama and collaborative writing. Of course there is a plot, but all we can say is: just sit tight and brace yourselves for the unexpected twists. *smirks*


  • 16+. Violence, gore and profanity are allowed as long as they are not done excessively. Be mature and open-minded as this roleplay will contain dark psychological themes and possible character deaths.

    General forum rules still apply here, remember that - take all the steamy stuffs away from public eyes and do them in PMs, please. Fade to black, and don't be a dick.

    Don't think you can escape from basic roleplaying etiquette here - while we believe that Mary Sues/Gary Stus won't have a place in this roleplay, no godmodding, metagaming, autohitting etc. will be entertained unless given explicit permission to do so.


  • As this roleplay contains a mystery-thriller element, anything not mentioned or established in the IC is a secret. That is, you're not allowed to reveal the clues the GM has given you to the other players except within the IC only.


  • We do understand that real life should take priority over a shared hobby, and we do not feel the need to force a fixed posting schedule on the players. However, 1-2 posts per week or every fortnight should be relatively stress-free enough to handle. If you need more time away to battle with real life wars, we would greatly appreciate that you drop us a notice so that nobody will leave you out of the epic adventures.

    If you have to drop this game when it has already begun, do drop us a note so that the GMs can take over your character(s) from there. We'll be sad to see you go, but that's life, innit?


  • We love to see IC drama and angst - obviously - but please leave them out of the OOC. While the GMs aren't evil dictators, do respect us and our decisions all the same.

    Of course, feel free to approach us if you need help with things related to this roleplay.


  • Last but not least... HAVE FUN! :D



APPLICATION
< Character Sheet >


  • All players are allowed a maximum of 2 characters for the time being.


  • For the main PC, please choose any canon character from the suggested lists below. Those roles not named in the lists will be on a case-by-case basis.
    • Playable
    • Guest

    Do note that characters from the following will not be accepted:
    • Player-created roles in Original FF, III (NES ver.), Before Crisis VII, Crystal Chronicles, XI, XIV, etc.;
    • Not-yet-released titles e.g. XV, World;
    • Mobile-exclusive e.g. Record Keeper, All the Bravest, Mobius, etc.;
    • Unrelated titles e.g. The Spirits Within, Unlimited, Legend (known as SaGa in Japan), etc.
    • Original characters from the Kingdom Hearts series - they are reserved as NPCs, sorry.

    If there's anything you're unsure of regarding this rule, please go to any of the GMs for clarification.

    For Moogle, you may choose any one of the canonical designs from across all the game titles. Feel free to use this page for your reference.

    Please post all applications either in the OOC tab or PM directly to the GMs. Do not post your CS in the Character Tab unless it's been approved.


  • Kindly use the template provided below to make your sheet(s). Some guideline for those who may not be good with coding:
    • Keep the CS inside a hider so as not to take up too much space (and also make life easier for mobile users);
    • Remove the dot in [.hr] for the horizontal line to work properly;
    • For color codes, you can either use this list or any other online color code generators (Google is your best friend);
    • If you have no need for some of the codes - such as the optional sections - simply delete them to keep the sheet neat (unless you plan to add stuff later as the IC progresses, then that's fine);
    • You can use the "Preview" button at the top-right of the posting box to check for errors.

A Final Fantasy All-Stars Roleplay



"You wake up in an unfamiliar world, without any memories whatsoever. Where you came from - let alone where you're headed - you have no idea, yet all you can do is set forth and walk onward. A mysterious voice calls out to you, guiding you along your path..."

— Introduction, Mobius Final Fantasy



ANNOUNCEMENTS
< Important! >


2016/05/03
  • GM post is already up! Let's keep the ball rolling~
  • RP reopened to look for someone to take up Cloud.




PREMISE
< Synopsis >






You wake up to find yourself in a strange universe called Celestia - some say it's a parallel dimension in the middle of infinity, others say it's a dream within a dream. You have no idea how you got here, or who brought you here... As you try to remember, you realize that you have no recollection of your past, and you do not have the means to return to where you were from.

Guided by a mysterious entity who called itself "The Voice", you will journey through this foreign place to piece back your old memories, at the same time meeting people and creatures alike along the way, creating new memories. Even if you manage to reclaim your past, you can no longer go back to who you once were, only to keep moving forward - maybe you might find a way out of this trance-like loop, or you just want to stay in here for eternity. The choice is yours.

However, you will soon find out the purpose why you are brought to this faraway land beyond the realm of your reality, stripped of your old self, trapped in a cycle of events that would force you to question everything you know: what are you fighting for - to protect, or merely to survive? What does it mean to be a hero?


"Who are you?"



OVERVIEW
< Information >


The World
For cohesion sake, all player characters - regardless of which FF title they are from - will start their adventure in the same, roleplay-exclusive surreal place far from their home world. Partly to reduce discrepancies since the characters won't be from just one title but spanning across many more, it's also to give players the freedom to explore and build an original, standalone universe as a collective whole. We'll expand the Codex and add to the lore together, and also come up with sub-plots (or "side quests" in gaming terms) on top of the main story the GM will reveal from time to time to guide the players (and keep you all on your toes, heh). Hence, this roleplay isn't just a GM's one-man show, but more of a group effort where all players can participate and contribute their ideas.


The Characters
Before you go "What? Canon characters? Why?", the idea of this roleplay is character study: deconstructing and rebuilding the characters we think we know into someone deeper, someone more complicated...and maybe even breaking the fourth wall. To give you a better picture how this roleplay works, imagine a jigsaw puzzle - the canonical information (the character's memories or their backstory) is the pieces, which you'll have to try and put them back together. However, it's not going to be this simple; as the characters regain their past, they are also adding their present to their overall memory bank - this overlapping of perceptions and emotions, from both the past and current, will shape these characters beyond what we know canonically.


The Theme
The plot will involve some psychological and spiritual themes, such as self-discovery and morality; we may even delve into politics and war as the plot thickens. Players are expected to be mature and open-minded, and always keep in mind that this is a work of fiction. Do not take the darker and edgier events in this roleplay too personally - or else we'll have to ask you to leave before things get out of hand.


The Style
While this roleplay isn't a sandbox, it's not going to be strictly linear either - it will be a bit more dynamic with a mix of both styles, giving you the space to expand your own ideas while not straying too far from the main plot and losing your way. Of course, a FF game isn't complete without epic boss fights - yes, there will be action scenes! Collaborative writing is highly encouraged for smooth transitions (I'm no fan of one-liners).


The Highlight
What sets this FF roleplay apart from the others is that other than the world-building and battle goodness, is the mystery-thriller element: the GM will pick a player randomly and PM you a piece of information or clue, which you'll include it somewhere in your IC. Yes, recovering your character's memories is only the half of it - you'll also be trying to find out the reason why the characters are gathered here in this surreal universe, and they will have to make choices that could possibly change their fate, even this dream-like world, forever...whether it's for the better, or worse.

Anyway...

If there's really no burning questions for me and everyone is perfectly cool with the rules and lore so far, I'll make the OOC and post the CS form hopefully tomorrow (or latest next Monday) - and get the epic adventure started for real!
