So Twilight Outcast and I had an idea for a combat oriented RP we would like to run, but we want to have a fairly large group of players for it. So, we'd like to know what everyone thinks of the idea before putting too much effort into it. The intent of this RP is to create a situation where you could create any kind of character you want, whether they be good or evil. The setting of the RP will be a similar concept as "Dissidia Final Fantasy." Long story short, the avatars of good and evil have been fighting each other in a never ending war because they are equally matched in terms of power. So, to settle the battle once and for all, they each summoned warriors from various universes in order to create armies with which to fight one final battle. This is where your characters would come in. Due to the multiverse setting, there would be no restrictions on character creation other than those necessary for preventing god-modding, even allowing for you to have an evilly inclined character if you want. So far, we haven't worked out a system for making sure no one's character is overpowered, but for now, please comment on this thread if you would be interested in playing or have any suggestions for us.

I might join this game, get some alternia in da house. also, as per the system... could integrate in some dice rolls and whatnot if you wanted aviod people choosing to godmod their way to victory. I'd say a gaming system like gurps or something world work pretty fine, but then the issue would be teaching it to everyone, though I certainly agree that it's definately a good idea to try and prevent that kind of thing.

I'd probably be down for that. I think using GURPS, Patherfinder, etc. would be cool, personally. But yeah, you'd have to teach it to peeps, so that might be hard. Unless you run it like Haru does BBS. That could work, too.

Although I would prefer dice rolls for most table top RPGs it always comes down to luck with those kinds of systems and We do not want that, so we will be requiring the people who join this RP to have a disadvantage as Firion did in Dissidia,he was amazing on the ground, however he sucked in midair meaning he couldn't do well against people in the air, though that is just a example of what a disadvantage could be.

Yeah, to elaborate, the system I am suggesting is that when you create your character, they can only have up to three advantageous abilities, and then they must also have one disadvantage. This will require heavy use of the honor system and a lot of GM approval, but personally, I think using a structured, point based system like GURPS would be cumbersome. Also, when creating new skills in GURP, the GM has to approve how many points the ability will cost anyway, so just having a GM approve your choices would have the same end result.

yeah, that could certainly work out pretty well, I'd definately say that a structured thing would be cumbersome for something like this, but if players can follow the honor system and not try to be a godmod, it should all work out.

Yup, and we'll try to be fairly strict with that. We've even been thinking that if someone tries to godmod in an action/reaction post during a fight, we'll automatically give the advantage to the other player for that post.

With at least 3 people interested in this type of RP, it is hopefully safe to say it is a go, Now I also have a bit of a update too, Koac and I have agreed on CO GM this type of a RP. The reason of this being for mostly 3 reasons, the first reason being Koac will be taking the avatar of light as his own in the rp and I will be taking the Evil one, the reason for this being that it will give both Avatars truly different personalities and ideas of the other, as well as how they act being totally different. the second reasoning is that it helps in considering what is God-modding, although God-modding is normally obvious sometimes it isn't as clear and I know for one I hate when I feel cheated. the third reason being that with 2 GMs it is very easy for one of us to check it and realize the other one must post actions, it will keep the RP going and hopefully will keep it going and not become 2 pages of only 2 people talking. Well that is all I have as of right now, if you have any other suggestions I would love to hear em.

Out of Curiosity sense I am still working on this RP for those who are interested, would you think your character be on the side of Good or on the side of evil? just thought i would figure that out, sense it will help a bit.
