Milkyway64 Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 RP Name/Title- Topic thread^ Style- Story Theme- Interaction, drama Setting- A fictional representation of SFO as a community, packed into the setting of a city. Threads would be buildings and businesses, users would be citizens. Mods are the police force. For the sake of this RP, the current staff build won't carry over. Actual mods joining in don't have to be mods in-game. Description- SFO, a once peaceful and friendly place, has been taken over by the tyrannical Milky. Fancying himself a king above god, he believes his slow decay of the city is nothing but good, calling the place his perfect utopia. Blood plagues the streets from public executions on anyone who dares stand up for themselves. Goal- Milky is bad news, but powerful. Can the separated citizens unite to overthrow him, putting aside communal splits like their opinion on the resident model Krystal and the endless debate between anthro or human superiority aside to destroy his wicked system? Player count- As many as needed Questions and thoughts? Knowing me, I probably left out a good chunk of details I meant to include. EDIT: Okay. I promised this was coming, and then procrastinated and was chastised. Well, I regret none of that at ALL, since I have just drastically improved this. I wanna know what you think. First, some backstory. So there I was, browsing http://am2r.freeforums.org/ and appreciated my custom Fire Emblem avatar I have there. So I began a train of thought, starting with Fire Emblem being an RPG I need to give more love. RPG - G = RP, of which reminded me I was procrastinating on a different forum. That reminded me of this thread, and with the character portait of General Milky fresh in mind, it made me wonder how the characters in this RP could scratch him if he wore armor, like in an FE game. Then it hit me. This needs a number system. But, but, I also want this to be a story RP and not a poor man's tabletop game, so I brainstormed ways to have both. I think I've got it. So then, the point of this thread is for you all to unite and take Milky down? Why not promote bonding? And therein lies the system. Every character will have a static pair of stats, attack and defense, and so will Milky. So do you go out and fight monsters and such? Hell no, this ain't D&D, I ain't gonna reward you for punting squirrels. Instead, you all will have an invisible "achievement" system. These will be feats and mile stones on a list only I will have. Each achievement will modify your character's stats, which will serve as your growth. To avoid players grinding them, I will alert people their achievements over PM, and ask that you don't speak of them until the finale, which will be the only time this number system becomes relevent. I repeat, this stat system will only matter any amount of beans in the final march. So how is this going to work? Basically, this will be an ordinary roleplay for the most part. However, any character, solo or party, can at anytime decide to go face the evil General. If things are unfavorable, your character will almost surely die. To suit the focus on bonding, I'll tell you the formula I have in mind, using an example I already pitched to a friend. Mark and John are hiding from a resistence sweep. The building they are in is surrounded by Milky's commandos and armed sentry bots. Should mark and John survive, they will walk away stronger, more resilient people and thus will be awarded the achievement which grants a +1 bonus to defense. But there's more, should John and Mark be in the same squad infiltrating Milky's lair, their sharing of that achievement will multiply the bonus to 2. Their bond, from surviving and experiencing hell together, strengthens their resolve to survive. Now, say if a Mary was also in the same sweep Mark and John were earlier, and also was in this squad. All three of their +1 def achievement grants them a much better +4. The idea behind this is that experiences make people strong, but a single person can only be so much. There needs to be a bond, an emphasis on these people operating and fighting off of eachother's strength rather than their own, and the resolve to keep eachother safe makes them stronger than raw physical ability experience alone. This is why any squad attempting to fell Milky may share their collection of achievements, to apply bonuses to achievements they share. Milky's stats will be hidden to avoid breaking the immersion and turning it into a "grind until we are ready" approach. I want players to come in as a group uncertain of the outcome and connect them much like the characters themselves are. So how will the stats themselves be used? They will be used to determine an RNG. I'm not exactly sure how I'll be doing this yet, but it'll run off percentage compared to Milky's stats. For this example's sake, say Milky has 100 defense. Any character with an atk stat of below 50% of that (say he or she has 47 attack) it'll always fail. Milky will always be unphased, dodge, or some other godmod action to nulify the attack. The opposite holds true, too. Any character with +50% will always wreck the General. There'll be a balance in between, being a 50/50 chance of success or failure at an even stat and scaling up and down from there. I don't know the exact percents or formulas I'll use yet, but it will be something along those lines. Any questions or objections? Anything to add maybe?

Milkyway64 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 Yes, you'd be using your SFO self in name. Behavior differences can be there, though, as shown with me not actually being as evil as this RP suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
