Anyone down for a few fairy tail RPs? And maybe a push to make it its own board? I've been reading fairy tail a lot recently, and it occured to me that its a very unrestricted and openly creative world. So, I think it'd be a good fit for regular RP. Unlike Bleach and Naruto, which tend to have much more closed systems. Though I am disappointed to see neither merited its own board, as pokemon has, cuz I'd RP the shit out of those.
But yeah, anyone up for this? I'm gonna lay claim to Natsu and Erza btw, I'm pretty sure I can RP those characters well. Especially Natsu. Got no issues with doing Gray and Lucy as well, though Lucy would be harder for me. But if no one else wants to I certainly will. We'll assume open RP as needed unless laid claim to. (So people like the Master, Gazelle, ect, would be open for anyone to RP as needed unless someone says they want to work with the character.)
Think its an interesting opportunity to try to RP characters designed by others as well, and try to keep to their style and personality types.
Would anyone else be interested in this? I don't want to put a lot of effort into a topic if it prolly isn't going to go anywhere, and if I do start it, I really do want to push myself to my A game, go through everything carefully, proofread, and do a COMPLETE FIRST POST. (I often write the crap out of a post, and end up lacking energy 1/4th through what I actually want to write, and close shit up quickly and messily.)
(As I did with a certain other RP that was recently visited by Pohatu's red pen.)
So yeah?

(As I did with a certain other RP that was recently visited by Pohatu's red pen.) I probably should've PMed those comments instead of posting them here... I don't want to give the impression I'm not on your side, but a new world order story just has so many thorny issues to work out! Maybe you should just declare Prometheus to be outside of ORP continuity. That would resolve quite a few of the problems at one stroke.

Except for the biggest problem; getting people. I swear, the way you all treat GRP at times it's almost like it's taboo. Heck, anything outside of ORP is practically taboo.

That's true, unfortunately. Well then, another option might be for Prime to take the breakout plot and whatever other action he planned for Prometheus, and just repackage them in a smaller-scale story. I'd happily participate in that. It's just... a new world order story! Sheesh!

I have it on good authority that we have a lot of Fairy Tail fans in our borderline RP crowd (the folks who turn up occasionally, such as Cendra, Shoni, et all.) You probably would get a good turn out, though for better or worse, it'd mostly be people you've never written with before.
They're all pretty dang good writers, though.
I'd recommend setting it far from the established setting of Fairy Tail. Makes it feel less like slavish fanfic, and more like just utilizing their setting and what has been established.

I thought this was going to be an RP about the gingerbread man, Jack and/or a beanstalk, Tom Thumb, three pigs, etc.

I tried posting a couple times in that topic, but in the end no matter what I tried to say...I figured the boards would generally just consider it me being an asshole... So I said nothing, and called the topic dead, since I knew no one would post in a topic that had a huge commentation post in it. Those ALWAYS kill topics.
EDIT - So long live fairy tail!

I have one character bio ready, and a second character who is pretty much planned out, but I'll do the bio for later.
Name: Tielly Gernatts Magic: Pottery Magic Title: None yet, though most people in her neighborhood will swear by her pottery for durability and beauty Age: 17 Appearance: A tall, lanky girl with a dark complexion. Her hair is swept back in cornrows, with alternating blue and red beads at the ends. She almost always wears a pair of denim overalls, and is never without a good pair of boots. Under the overalls, she usually wears a deep blue tank top/tube top. She’s typically covered in grey handprints, especially on her right cheek and her hips. She has a tendency to absentmindedly pause in thought when working on projects, and consequentially accidentally leaves clay handprints on her outfit and workshop. Personality: Tielly is an artist at heart, first and foremost. She spends hours each day working on both mundane and enchanted pottery and sculptures, and if not in the shop when an idea or mood hits her, she’ll sprint off to find a way to give it physical form. When not enraptured in her work, she tends to be very down-to-earth and friendly to anybody around her.
I'm not giving history in an in-depth explanation of her powers, since with a Fairy Tail style plot, those tend to both be saved for big reveals later on.
Cendra, Shoni, and Shadow Tamer all have characters ready, as well as two or three people who have yet to RP on the site, but had their fancy caught by this idea. Cendra and I discussed doing two separate threads, for two different guilds.
Cendra has her own plans for a guild, a more cerebral/trickery based group, whereas I'm guessing Prime would be game for a more straightforwards guild.
So, Prime, any ideas to hash out here?

Damn Lee, way to step up to the plate. Personally, I'm not against multiple character across multiple guides, but I think we should all have a guild in common for our 'main' characters. Gives a lot more opportunity to interact, imo, and there's a lot less reaching around for the right setting, or at least I hope. We should also decide, based on Fairy Tail or just our own imagination, where the town our guild/guilds are situated. I'd be down to do a couple maps if anyone were interested in that much detail, though I somewhat doubt it.
So those are there to be worked out, and we should also decide whether the old guild names endure. If Fairy Tail is still around and such, and how big it is compared to the old days if it is. This'll be a little different than our normal RP's, where we all tend to try to avoid the public eye. Don't see Zebedee talking to reporters or Sly on Tech TV hashing out idea's behind the nature of alternate realitys.
But good guild mages tend to be features in mags and such, so we'll have to get out heads around our characters will at least be notable, and possibly be famous, and decide how they'll be dealing with that. I'd assume being recognized wouldn't be uncommon, unless you're like Natsu and just blow everything up and leg it.
My own character btw,
Name: Asura Leggard Magic: Ice Creation style "Blue Golem" Title: None as yet. Age: 19 Appearance: Standing at 5'10" Asura is a solid well build young man taken to wearing solid coloured vests open fronted, black jeans and a long scarf. Is often absorbed in deep thought, and whenever his attention wanders the floor around him has a tendency to be coated in ice. His favorite phrase is, "Watch your step," and tends to think the rest of humanity is insanely clumsy. He has bright blue eye's set in a slightly angular face, and shaves whenever he remembers.
His personality is the type that rapidly switches between extreme extrovert and silent introvert. He loves machinery, and is fond of creating small magical devices out of ice to no apparent point of purpose.
__
If anyone wants to make comments or a review, feel free. And I think someone else should present a couple guild ideas, as I'm probably not the best person to ask how to make something a friendly social environment. Though I think a bar, a la fairy tail, would just be beast.

The initial idea I was thinking about was having two guilds working on close terms, like Fairy Tail and Blue Pegasus are. So characters could freely bounce back and forth between topics, though they'd have a native guild of sorts where they'd spend most of their downtime. Though most RPers are considering making one character for each guild, so that they could easily fit into either plot. The idea for Cendra's guild was that they were off in a small, fairly pretty town that's a bit of a tourist trap. (Think Martha's Vineyard or some of the more far-flung locations in Japan) Small, idyllic, and mostly peaceful, though trouble occasionally comes rolling into town. I'm not sure if it's going to be on an island or not, but I do remember that the big tourist attraction is a variety of flower that grows only in that city. Whereas the other guild would be in the nearest larger city, something more on scale with Magnolia from Fairy Tail. The details on this city would be mostly up to you and I to figure out. As for location? Here's a map of the Fairy Tail setting. I'd like to put us outside of Fiore by a healthy margin, since living too close to Fiore would beget the Forgotten Realms problem (too many powerful NPCs, making it seems like player characters shouldn't be called upon to deal with any major problems) So I guess we should pick one of the nations other than Fiore, and go from there. I'd like setting it at the same time period as Fairy Tail, since it ensures we'll all have the same vision of the technological level present and such. And indeed, we'll be dealing with our characters as budding celebrities. Will be kinda nice when they hit the point where they need no introduction, a la Erza and Ten Saints and all that. As for your character, seems like a very interesting type to work with. Pretty funny quirk, to boot, which'll be fun to write with, and I like the idea of a tinkerer wizard. Definitely a very neat idea, and he should work very nicely with my character, who seems to be almost on the exact opposite end of the spectrum. (Technology/Engineering vs Art, Clean Ice vs. Messy Mud, Introvert vs. Approachable, etc.)

Think Seven, Joya, Sin, or Enca would all work pretty well. If we did Seven we'd need to be a more northern guild. Personally, being irish/scottish and raised in BC, I'd prefer a richly forested and mountainous topography to work in.
Having a mountainside village with a lot of springs and falling water would be most excellent. A northern section of Sevens cost seems to fit the bill, and with the added benefit of being on the coastline. Joya has a couple sections that would work as well, not to mention its flippin surrounded by mountains. We could make the city the guild is in take up the wide of a large valley between the mountains, and become a sort of gateway into Joya, one of the only practical commercial ways in or out of Joya.
We'd place ourselves in a strong buisness position that way, and we could make Joya, being surrounded by mountains, an ecological safe haven with evidence of all thats long past in the world.
Like, jurassic park, but on land. And you know, the T-Rexes are things like scary dragon/tiger crossbreeds with scorpion tails containing a paralytic highly useful in conventional (nonmagical) medicine in the 'Fairy Tail' world. Ect. (Read: Expensive and a good reason for a guild to be there?)
Maybe even turn something like that into a guild initiation, every member has to get poison from the tail to join the guild, as a sort of hazing to see how you'll work together with other guildmembers and show you can contribute to the guild. (Said item being enough to flatten everyones bartabs for a month.)
Also Asura's character is a mixture of a few ideas, but his combat style is from a book called Black Prysm. It won't be exactly the same, but its very similar and seems fun as hell to me. I think you'll like it too. For a simple application of his abilities, I think I'ma have him use a chainblade or something of the like. Lots of fun mechanical complexity. And menacing.
I have another character idea too, but then I read the most recent Fairy Tail manga and sadly realized its been sorta nicked? And obvs I don't want to copy Erza's ex-quip style no matter how much it suits.

Ah, I hate to butt in and then not have much to say, but I can only phone type so long!
I really really would love to be in this rp and I can throw up a bio as soon as soon as soon as possible! (prolly tomorrow) it sounds very exciting so far <3
...if that's um okay that is since it seems like a lot of people I dont know too much about are ahead of me there!

Well, if we do two topics, we should most certainly have room. After all, teams in Fairy Tail (not guilds, but the teams sent on missions) are usually like 3-5 wizards. So two RPs would give us room for roughly ten characters, of which only half a dozen or so (maybe up to eight or nine) have been accounted for. Mind you, that math is quick, sloppy, and doesn't account for arcs that bring whole guilds into play. But yeah, we've got room for at least two or three more main characters, even after you get on board.

Real quick! Still working on some stuff, but this is currently she! A lot of it is still subject to my habit of editing everything many times, but i hope the gist of it is gotten. maybe I'll even switch her magic? I feel like Explosion magic may end up being limiting compared to Lee and Prime's hip concepts. We'll see! And thank you, Lee <3
Name: Renee Ritterschild
Magic: Explosion Magic - Elaborating later, but she's not some overpowered person who explodes people for an instawin <3 That would be silly.
Title: I dunno how this one would go, really! Are we allowed to have these, going by the other two bios? <3
Age: 18 (Still thinking on this one!)
Personality: Renee may or may not be entirely unstable. She seems rather pleasant to others, but she does take pleasure in the act of schadenfreude and often plants -relatively- harmless explosions to surprise others. She is generally calm and pleasant, if not a bit quiet, although the manner seems forced. She enjoys greeting newcomers with an apple from her basket, baking, taking walks, and participating in battle, where she might be a bit more...excitable.
Appearance: Renee keeps her chestnut hair just around shoulder length, and wears a long black shirt that covers leather armor underneath, along with blue shorts that stop above the knees. Her legs are covered in black tights while her leather boots are laced up and ready to go. She stands at around five feet nine inches, and has a fair complexion. She wears a red cape for sentimental purposes, and always carries a picnic basket on her arm.

No the other character bio was based on a completely different theme. You would've liked it.

Anyone want to pitch any guild names? Between the guild for myself and Lee, though I donno if he wants to grab another character in another guild, these are a few of my idea's. Feel free to openly contribute and voice your opinions or suggestions. The guild is a thing for all of us after all, not just an entity titled to its 'creator', thus I don't think it should have any one creator.
Nixxed Purgatory Afro Tins Valence Nazzard Gentle Vortex Etherial Night/Knights (Fav) (Insert Number Here) Jolly Adventurers ^ Number of guild members White Bladers Skyholn (Nother fav) Terror Black Golems Rest Violet Charm Wide Open Throttle Dusk Wing (Nother fav) Superior Weakness Flat Contradiction Contracted Eternity Tranquility Lost (Nother fav) Mired Undark Lipless Brush
K thats all I got in my ol noggin ftm.

Skyholn and Duskwing sound pleasant and lovely, although I have a couple sitting around my head, if you don't mind me saying!
Fierce Regalia Shining Legacy Furious Roar North Star
Heeheehee, names like that, although I'll admit the majority of them were inspired by another source I've been into! Although I suppose North Star would be inappropriate since we're not north I think? I was thinking of some darker name like Resonant Horror but I dunno if we're that kind of guild <3 Oh well, that's what I've got!

I find your lack of activity annoying. Seriously, speak up, goddamnit. I don't like making decisions without input, I'd rather it be a communal effort thats sourced from and fun for all of us. But I swear I'll just bloody well post the topic up if I have too guys.

Valence and Dusk Wing I'm pretty partial to off your list. I'll think about it a bit more during the day and see if I can come up with something else as well if you'd like.
