Overview

It's a fighting-game-based idea, right? And many fighting games aim to have a diverse cast in terms of fighting styles, things at their disposal and whatnot. So aim for that.

What do you mean?

Keep it flexible, mostly. Was thinking of making a character that does random shit like Faust or Platinum.

Tbh I wanna do something with them all >.< But do you have any thoughts or comments on Battlesoul?

Battlesoul, fo sho!

Hello! This is going to be the general thread for the group. The plan is currently for each setting/RP to have a dedicated OOC thread for questions and discussion specific to that setting/RP, which means that this one is just for people to talk and chat and ask questions! As well, I will have a quick overview of each setting below, to serve as some conversation starters! Listed alphabetically we have: Archipelago: A modern-ish post apocalyptic setting where the world was shattered into a number of isles following world-wide war These isles, floating aimlessly above the core, are surrounded by a dark mist which is extremely difficult to navigate through. Creatures made of pure darkness -- phantoms -- spill from the core, impervious to bullets and heavily resistant to other standard weaponry. On the moon that orbit the archipelago lives the Immortal, a strange but gallant humanoid that created a sanctuary. But it's not a safe haven for the people, instead it is an academy to help train special people, known as metafolk, how to use their unique abilities to fight the phantoms and protect their home from further destruction. Battlesoul: A fantastical modern-ish setting inspired by fighting games/anime. To certain people, fighting is more than a hobby, a way to blow off steam. It is a way of life -- or rather, the essence of their lives. These Battlesouls are driven to train their style and perfect their skills, and driven to challenge other battlesouls. The reason for this compulsion is unknown, but those with it will invariably have skills beyond other people with martial arts, magic, a weapon... Given the immense power level of a battlesoul, the world government saw fit to create specialized arenas for them to fight in. Of course, these fights were televised, with battlesouls becoming celebrities, and a world-wide tournament system being put in place. Crucible: Fantasy LitRPG. Life on the surface has become almost unsustainable due to the massive amount of extremely strong monsters that call the land home. The folk have been forced underground, living in one large bastion of a city which was built around the base of the massive tower known as the Crucible. With resources and material difficult to come by outside the walls, noble adventurers venture into the crucible, travelling further and further up it's seemingly endless levels in order to gather monster parts and other items necessary for survival. Thus are these resources used to outfit the adventurers with better gear, so they can hunt stronger monsters and help the city survive. And thus does the cycle continue. Era of Ur: Galactic Science Fiction. Following the discovery of a parallel plane full of energy known as Ur, humanity was able to leave their home system to spread amongst the stars. With FTL and other technology being powered by Ur, humanity entered a golden age even as they encountered and befriended the other species that call the Milky Way home. However, despite the relative peace of the galaxy, not everything is perfect. Beyond your occasional pirate, the Urbeasts -- denizens of the Urplane, -- stalk the shadows, seeking for opportunities to strike. They seem to be drawn to the usage of Ur, so any ship that is set to engage in inter-system travel is armed as well as their crew. Lately, the attacks seem to have been happening more and more often, leaving many to wonder why... Kenterra: My flagship crystalpunk-fantasy setting. Long ago, the Dark Lord imprisoned the great mother spirit of the world Kenterra, and enslaved the twelve races of kin, In her last effort to save her children, Kenterra dispersed herself. Powerful crystals of solid Kenergy sprouted from the ground like mushrooms. These crystals, which became the basis for all technology on Kenterra, as well as the newfound ability for the kin to weave kenergy into magical spells, finally allowed the kin to rebel and defeat the Dark Lord. Once he was gone, strange dungeons began popping up across the land, full of monsters and loot. Though the kin live in peace with one another, Guilds and freelance adventurers delve into these dungons to clear them. Some hope doing so will return great mother Kenterra to them. Others feel it is Kenterra herself preparing her children for another fight against darkness... Lektra City: A cyberpunk-type setting taking place in one large, neon-coated city surrounded by little else. Lektra City is tiered, with the tier you live on indicative of your "importance" to the city. On the highest tier, you have those that the city considers "indispensable" such as the CEOs of the three major corporations that fight for command of the city. And on the lowest tier, you have your average folk that work outside of the Big Three, among others. There are also the tierless, hose who refuse to submit to the system. Generally mercenaries of various kinds, there are some who work for the Big Three, as well as those who fight against the inherent inequality by stealing from the rich and helping the poor -- with a little cut for themselves, of course. Rampage of the Forces: A world where the forces of nature are controlled by the Great Beasts, which wander the surface of the planet – causing destruction and change in their wake. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, the forces are revered by the people of the world. Though they can cause destruction, the people are well used to such, and their settlements are suited to utilize the changing terrain. However, lately,.the forces have begun to rage – a far cry from their usual aimless movements. There are even stories of people being attacked by servant fae of the forces, raising the question of “Why?” Regios: What do you do when giant monsters threaten your home? You make fighting mechs, that's what! The Reus, massive creatures of which no two are ever quite alike, have been rampaging in the systems of the Empire for generations now. And not long after it began, the Regios were created. Though smaller than the Reus, each Regios is a custom-made, specialized maching piloted by an elite driver, trained specifically on that Regios through their entire time at academy. When a team of these drivers takes on a Reus, the people cheer for their heroes. Skysea: On a world where the land floats on a sea of clouds, the era of colonizing has begun. A race between kingdoms and nations to explore more of the world. It is a time of expansion and adventure, of pirates and navies, of freedom. Many freelance crews make a living as privateers, hunting down the pirates that attack the innocent, or even as freelance explorers for a nation. There is plenty of opportunity for those who know where to look. Stellar Souls: People are able to live their normal lives thanks to the force called The Stellar. A group drawn from all walks of life, these young men and women are gifted a second life after a brush with the forces of darkness. A stellar creature, to become their familiar, bonds with them, infusing their life force with the power of stars! In exchange for this, the First Star expects each Stellar to fight for the light, to slay the malformed creatures of dark and shine bright in the night!
