Welcome to Gaia! ::

This will be the base thread for ideas and feedback. Let's face it, out of all of us I probably have the most freetime due to my sleeping schedule. Input from everyone it politely demanded in exchange for hugs, love, and cookies.

Character use:

In complete honesty I would like to use the original LW cast of heroes. For myself I will probably rework a bit of Shadowkite's background, adapting to some of the book's lore where possible, and use her.

This also brings up, do we let people come in with whatever race (or race combinations) they want or try to suggest races to them? (Human, Demon, Halfling, Elf, Partner Machine, ect) We could even write a bit about each one. For example we'll do humans:

Humans
A race that seemed at first doomed to fail, they have proven to be most resourceful. They made clothes to replace a lack of fur; developed weapons to make up for not having fangs or talons; some have even learned the ways of magic to rival that of other races. There is hardly one single temperament that can be used to describe this race of beings.

I'm going for a bit of an RPG feel where you would choose your race, your gender, and your class during character creation. Certainly don't know about the "classes"... I don't want to restrict this by slapping boxes that one must fit into in the middle of everything. I guess I'm not really for the idea of classes but if the need arises it is an option.

Elves
Naturally skilled craftsmen and magically endowed, Elves stick out due to their long pointed ears. While many elves have come to view themselves as superior beings to humans, some still keep a level head and interact and live with humans as equals.

Dwarves
Short and stout, this gruff race is full of pride and low on magic. Beards are common to almost all dwarves and so is their natural connection to the Earth. If you're going underground, bring a dwarf. If you need someone to craft you a strong weapon, seek a dwarf. If you need a strong fighter to knock some heads, a dwarf is a good race to start.

Halflings
Much like humans, but smaller. Generally half as tall as the average human, hence the name: halfling. Despite their shortcoming, (sorry for the pun), they manage to function just fine with their natural agility and high dexterity. These people are well known travelers who could cross the planet barefoot.

Dragons
Giant reptilian creatures, dragons come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but all are dangerous. That is not to say they are all bad. Many people have come to tame this majestic beasts and even form powerful bonds with them. These powerful creatures have magic coursing through their viens. Hunted for glory and hunted out of fear, dragons are rare creatures that tend to avoid human settlements as much as possible.

Here's another plotline proposal:

Remember that 2 year gap we had? I believe it was after Rikku's defeat. This proposal would fit into that gap. During that time I had always thought Shadowkite would go and stay with her mother's family for awhile. Of course she ended up returning to the Dragoons afterwards, but this could be a set up plot for later events such as the time flux one.

It would be about 6 months after the last event on the old plotline when the Dragoons would get a letter from Shadowkite. Her Aunt and Uncle have slowly fallen gravely ill and something evil is at work. Fun surprises await the Dragoons when they arrive suck as but not limited to: formal ball dances, aristocracy, xenophobia, demon spawns, getting thrown in jail, outlawed, and battles (of course!).

We're going to recruit outside players. I believe at this point we are/should/will host this arc outside of the guild. Later arcs might be rehosted here, but for now I think this will be for the best.

Things to be sorted:

Better plot sum up
Start OOC thread

Hey Kite, it's nice to see you again and even better that you are trying to get things up and running again. You are welcome to use my ideas from the Legend Reborn arc and perhaps other ideas from the old rp; You'll probably have to ask Lonewolf since he's the primary owner of that rp if you want to.

Unfortunately, I probably will not be able to participate as I'm way behind in graduating on time (Yay for wasted credits and money! >_<) but I will be happy to assist in ideas.

While both of your previous plot lines were acceptable (I liked the first one btw), can I suggest an AU of some sort? That way we will be able to keep some of the major points/characteristics of our characters and start off a somewhat fresh, new plot line which sort of runs along your first idea but at a more radical change.

Also I have no problem with outside rpers; it's good to have some new blood running around after all.

You could take a point in the old rp and branch yours off from there or...

A) You can take it that Lonewolf never did form the dragoons and we just somehow joined up and beat the crap out of the random or specific villains.

B) Have an AU that involves all of our characters in a set beginning point to end like I was planning for the Legend Reborn rp and the LD (Lonewolf's Dragoons) does exist.

C) *Insert random idea here*

The thing with AUs is that you can wrap, twist, and even make it brand new in a way. I for one would try to put it where the roles are reversed somehow.

D and Example) Lonewolf going insane with madness along with Mortamus and somehow the continent is in between a dark and bloody war between the two.
- Warriors and mages in and out of the continent have to chose sides
or..
- A 3rd party rises and battles both which then complicates matters because...well, a 3rd party just confuses the crap out people. Like the Green Party. Or the Tea Party. =P

E) Or you can basically kill off every single character because Mortamus becomes uber powerful and you can follow up with a growing rebellion and such.

I don't quite get the threshold guardians idea. Can you elaborate a lil more on that one?

The threshold guardians seems like a good idea but considering the fact that no person wants to be killed off so easily, I don't know if this will work out. However, I do have another way we can use these threshold guardians...I'll email you the details so its not spoiled.
