Feel free to do so.

@SuperNova9000I'll let it through while I'm not sure about the japanese aesthic to the CS I'm willing to overlook that at this present moment. You can post in the IC if desired.

There is much less of a risk when it comes down to adapting a canonical adaption. Less time it takes adjusting a canonical setting, or basing something off it than it is to make an entirely different continuity. When you see something you're familiar with take I don't know Rurouni Kenshin you know what to expect from that. When you see an entirely different rp with just inspirations from Kenshin you expect the gm to know how things have gotten to that point, and have a spring of knowledge when it comes to how, and why things are as they are, and as they work in that universe. Can samurai use magic in this universe? Do they use guns instead of swords? Is the setting still the same? It requires a whole different level of commitment that I personally have no interest in seeing through as custom settings, while i have mulled some around in my head that wouldn't work in a roleplay setting, are not something I am willing to walk through with little to no guarantee of any continued interest, or actual backing from people.

I already have stated plenty of times now that I am adverted, and completely uninterested in making a completely new roleplay idea from the prospective I had no interest in making new lore in or to explain things in that roleplay. And if I were to make a roleplay regarding the series in question there is no real, as of yet, big bad in lore so I'd just be making up a character to play that role if we have some sort of malevolent entity outside of the giant monsters preventing the group from obtaining needed power.

@Silver Carrot

True enough I do believe I could handle the big monsters, and the overall slice of life tends to drive itself when not directly railed onto a plot. The problem for me is that I would run out of monsters quick and it would cycle through to generic monsters. I really do believe that having another gm handle the smaller monster fights would work out well but like the others said there could come the plot problem of cycling through pilots, and controllers of the mech.

I'd prefer more but as long as you keep your character in a supporting role and out of the spotlight I should be able to move forward in that regards. @Salvia

@SuperNova9000 Your character's bio needs to be expanded greatly. You say your a member of the Empire but you have no background at all regarding that. Your character has a ton of downtime like Yuki in sword art online being stuck in a hospital which explains the level but you don't have much to your character. Grey is a similar level and he has a ton more skills than you. While I am allow skills to be added later with your current amount, and the lack of job classes you have it seems like your character should be at a lower level. You also should have a subclass into archery if you have things that regard arrows, and bows. Explaining Miko as a class is something I'd like. Miko isn't something you see typically in overlord which is predominately western in aesthetic.

Regarding my previous statement I apologize. I didn't intend to come off as accusatory however i am well aware people think little of me for one reason, or another and I do find that trying my patience when it comes to roleplays as me being a more strict on characters finds me little welcome in some cliques on here.

Well I planned on making it on here. There is no active fandom sections on this site, and I personally don't visit fandom areas outside of say reddit, and even then I'm not a frequent presence on there.

Well if that is indeed the case I may as well not make the roleplay at all. I have no interest in making an entire setting's lore and then have it garner no interest, or bust because there is some sort of disagreement. That would require a lot of work, and a lot of effort in which case I believe I would be better off making a fanfic because at least in that case it won't go up in flames due to lack of interest in the regards of others. I feel like you're personally not a fan of how I do things which is fine a lot of people for one reason or another have issues with me. However I feel a lot of the cases people have against me as a GM are unfounded, or weak in nature. There are plenty of times where my own lack of creativity as gm has indeed doomed a roleplay. My gundam, and Rosario Vampire roleplays are a testament to that. Perhaps the sekirei ones as well but those suffer from people not bothering to get past the prologue before the entire group met up. But that's besides the point what I'm trying to say is that one should not judge a person by how they feel about them to gauge whether or not a roleplay will be successful. And while I am nowhere near the best gm I do believe I am not the worst.

With all that being said I appreciate the feedback I made this thread with the intent on fleshing out HOW a roleplay would work, and possibly work out how the basic plot would be structured. From what I've gathered so far I'm just not the best person to be doing this sort of thing due to the amount of effort that would be needed to make something like this work.

The point where Nasuverse roleplays diverge from something like this is that pilots are replaceable. It sucks to lose a pilot as they require a certain bond but not to the point where they aren't normally exclusively use to piloting with one person. Servants in Nasuverse roleplays aren't easy to replace. Once they die they can't be resummoned under most circumstances unless the black grail rears its cursed head. Naruto roleplays likewise have a similar thing but depending on the circumstances it may be hard to fit in another character.

I feel like you're banking too much on the thematical sense of the show, and not the setting when it comes to girl, and boy teams. While it is not a common thing, to my knowledge, in the series that you will find two of the same gender working with one another it may be theoretically possible. Getting an even roleplay count, and keeping it with boy, and girl duo's means that you won't be able to get an even amount of people, or some people won't want to play a girl/boy. It is for the sake of an even roleplay setting that I would consider this to be valid. Spirit of the show put aside you need to make compromises in some cases if you want to make a roleplay.

I don't tend to allow people to make their own roleplay combat scenes however I am well aware of my own lack of talent in the field of combat. I don't go to the arena because of that, and my own distaste for pvp. What I believe the others said is true and that I may need a co-gm to direct combat for the overall sake of a better more enjoyable roleplay otherwise my own lack of creativity may hurt. I don't regard myself as super selective just very wary. If I see something that CAN be abused chances are it will be. I've played enough DnD, and heard enough stories to know that if people can get away with things they will try to.
