First off, I must say that I do not have all the facts or the information on what or why this section may be used for, but this is the data so far compiled as to what will occur in this section. Please keep mind to continually check this thread, as changes will occur.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Point of the RP is to be completely open to anyone.

Weapons: No auto-kill moves; No overly powerful moves. Guns will be equalized to match other weapons. No rocket launchers or similar guns allowed. No bombs. No mention of 'power levels' when in bare hand combat.

Setting: Modified 'Modern Day' setting, allowing older and futuristic characters as well.

Character Sheets: Required. Please read this thread.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Storyline:

Theme: Fantasy.

A constant story will continue, so characters will remember each other, and the things they have said or done to each other. This also means that they cannot keep changing their backgrounds and histories.

Yah. As we all proposed already, it will be of a fantasy genre and set in the present. The setting of which should be on a widespread area. Role playing within it will basically be the same as what we do now, except that a constant story will continue. So, this story must be a good one, that will last for a longer period of time than the average story. Also proposed a while ago, is the availability of separate groups, of which will number more than 3. Each will have their own goals and specialties, etc.

I was thinking, we could take the WoW setting and plot line. It would be WoW based, but at the same time, we could be a bit liberal with the interpretation... such as adding in a DnD-like prestige class sort of thing.

Example: In WoW, every class has talent points... Let's say, Warlock. A warlock can specialize in Affliction, Demonology, or Destruction, with some points left over for other classes.

Instead of just saying it's a Warlock with a specialization, we could give it a spiffy name, depending on the focus, or even on the Warlock's personal preference. Example: A Lock that raised, instead of a Voidwalker or an Imp... say, dead people (XD), could be a veritable Prestige class Necromancer. Or a Warlock with tons of destruction points could be a mage... some bad ass name of sorts for a destruction warlock. XD

But yeah. WoW plot line and setting, I was thinking. Each character could pick a class and could be whatever race they wanted to be. There would be more classes, though. Classes from pretty much any video game or RPG--hell, anything that makes sense--would be allowed. And that class would be put in their first post, and then added to the front page of the RPG. It makes it somewhat DnD-esque, but that'd be fun, no?

Y'know, there are people who haven't played either WoW or DnD. Just a suggestion: Pehaps make a chart with a few ideas for races or list a few websites that have lists of different races from different vidoe game; i.e., An RO webiste, a WoW site, etc. Because even though everyone RPs, that doesn't mean they all play RPGs.

A Rivalry/Revenge plot line has been suggested and seconded.
Team Play has been suggested and seconded.
