Welcome to Gaia! ::

❝Hey there, It's me Az just squeezing in to join the current discussion to toss my weightless two sense into the mix.

I wholeheartedly agree with Souchi and where he's coming from with this, Everythings messy and sloppy and it's pretty hard to decipher what's really going on in the Guild. like what's the current plot and such.
but i do have some personal Rant with the topics that he's pointing out currently.


●No.1 Criticism: Yes i can see that there basically no point of donning Black Coat(Or whatever the hell it was, Honestly can care less right now) anymore since the purpose of the organization is pretty much dead Chronologically and there's practically no point in using them. However, Their the only quote-unquote "Organized Villains" that are actually Canon in the KH universe(As far as i know) Note: The rag tag of cameo villains that Maleficent scavenged up don't count, they didn't even have a name to refer themselves as. They were more so a club if anything else. and as such it's logical that people would still use them since their isn't a pretty way of making a Lore-friendly evil organization that people can use as an alternative for Organization XII because lets face it, The Kingdom Hearts lore is pretty confusing to most people. Also it's the Only organization that Nobody's can go to.


●No.2 Criticism:Yeah, This is what i mean by Messy. Likewise, Not to diss on your arc either Knux, I'm sure put some thought into making it but like Souchi said, It's not related to the KH theme, Something of which Isn't easy as you think you believe! it's pretty hard to come up with a cool a neat plot that would satisfy the hungry minds of everyone else who has their own tastes in reading materials and thought process and as well as making it fun and interesting for everyone else to enjoy. Now add a limit of how much you can stretch your developing plot with something like "It needs to be Kingdom Hearts related.". That's a pretty big restriction if think about it given the Lore of the game and all, The only bloody notable piece of history is the Keyblade War (Not including Kingdom Hearts Chi since i haven't read anything about it other than the Guilds, nor am i including the History of other worlds since that would be a mess to think through.)and that's about it. Not much of a foothold when it comes to creative thinking for creating an interesting Plot and such. However this does not excuse the overpowered character the Knux has created for the arc.


●No.3 Agreement:This isn't much of a criticism but more of an agreement with what Souchi is saying, We need to put the nail on the coffin for Time Travel pronto. I know from personal experience(Continuing) that It's not fun!! Having time travelers SUCKS, They say they know everyone and their never surprise when a new character makes an appearance, Likewise their aware of major plot points that will happen in the future which really destroys the motivation of a lot of people and makes you rethink on what to do next!(Yeah this became more of a rant than anything else...)


●No.4 Acknowledgment:Not really a rant but more of a kuddos to you for pointing this out. Chronologically, Yes most of the original KH cast should be long gone by now(Merlin kinda being an exception and all.) and should remain that way.


●No.5 Agreement:Oh boy here we go, The main reason for this because just like in the Keyblade war some people became power-hungry, Ironic right? Well anyways, Everyone seems to think that the X-blade is the go to thing to fix every bloody thing, But guess what it's not, What the hell do you take for? Somesort of heavy duty Swiss Army Knife? No, It's a tool that is capable of doing MAJOR damage if given to the wrong hands. So i'm agreeing with Souchi on this one also, If such a thing was to be misused by someone incompetent, It would probably make everything unfair in the guild and ruin everyone else's fun. I once again agree with Souchi acute accuracy in pointing things out. The X-blade should not be categorized under the same category as traditional Keyblades, After all it has an alternative purpose unlike it's normal counterparts to do something with Kingdom Hearts, Something of which a normal Keyblade cannot do, And as such it should be locked away unless it's need for something related for Kingdom Hearts Alone.


●No.6 Criticism:Actually in the cinematic trailer for Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep(Or it's the opening, Can't really remember since it's been like 2 years or something since i actually played the game..So it's either one) you can see in the image i have placed below and highlighted in green that there the handle for a Keyblade that is missing it's bladed edge, Likewise there's a bladed edge lying pretty close to where the handle was which leads me to assume the they were both whole at one point, Or they could be different parts entirely but despite this, There are broken Keyblade's in the KH universe.



●No.7 Meh:Hahaha*Looks away, partly responsible* I'm afraid i'm partly to blame for that as well, Though it's something i have been trying to scale and limit..Hehehe sweatdrop ...Anyway i would like to stop you right there on the topic of Killing Intent and Chi, Your are correct about there being no Killing Intent and Chi in the Canon KH universe But if we were to look at the Disney perspective of things then there's one animated t.v show that was owned by Disney called Jackie Chan Adventures(A show very dear to my heart due to nostalgia), A t.v show that was focused on, Yep you guessed it, The adventures of Jackie Chan. In that series there was Chi Magic that could be performed Chi Wizards. Before i continue on with the next topic Chi Magic Is a variation Chi manipulation. There were Demons in the t.v show as well which can very well hint that there was Killing Intent used in the show, Though i haven't watched the show in ages so don't quote me on that.
Well i'm not going argue with you on that, The power scaling on things is pretty unbalanced..Something that i'm still trying to get use to of "weak".

Well anyway i burnt myself out by simply rambling on probably something unnecessary, Kuddo's to me i guess. Well i finished my rant just like i said i would so sorry you all had to bear it : P but anyway i'm off to bed,(It's like 4:30 or something) I'll see if i can make another rant on how we might approve the guild, Until then, Ciao!

Oohhhh....kay....
DJ, are you sure your not my next door neighbor, you know me well enough....at least in the KH universe.
I have only played KH1, KH2, Re: Chain of Memories, Re:Coded, and still trying to work on 358/2 days. However its been too long since I played any of the kh games (been too sick irl, and the parents wouldn't approve if I played the PS2 in the living room, since they are using it as a dvd player........(then I have to fight with sis to let me play cuz the system was in her room.)

The only stuff I got off of the other games, including Dream Drop Distance, is watching off Youtube, but its not the same, can't watch the Tron World (if you know me well enough, you will know I have epilepsy)

I don't have access to the manga (or any manga, since the online versions are changed from the original) and ive never picked up a comic book before.

The game systems I have is a DS lite, 3ds (only got Pokémon on it and never turn on the 3D and has to look away when any lightning animations are done), WII (that doesn't support the GameCube games), and a PS2.

That is it. Do you think I am qualified to even run a KH guild.....(sighs because I have invested too much time into it)
Compared to others who are in better off position than I am, I suppose I am not, and it hurts to say that.
Although I may not be qualified to be the captain of this guild, I am trying to keep up in the KH universe with what little I have. Alright?

❝
Great now i'm having flashbacks in that other KH guild.

I might as well toss it out there and say that you're looking at it in an incorrect angle, Your inexperienced, That would be the more prefered term. You haven't shown much involvement in the guild either which kinda leads me to believe that you want to leave it as it is, Which can be fine in some aspects but ultimately other people will grow bored of it eventually, Like Souchi. But that doesn't make you a terrible Captain Kalena, Nobody has been sharing their opinions on how we can approve the guild and make it more fun for everyone(Excluding some people of course) so for pete sakes can you stop beating yourself over it?! It's not just your fault but ours as well, So just let that soak in for a second before you try to come up with another unnecessary reason for trying beat yourself over it.

Now with that out of the way i think it's time we discuss on neat ideas on how we can approve the guild more and keep people entertained and have fun and equalish for everyone. I'll go first by giving a general idea on what we can do so don't expect mine to be very detailed(Or do because that might happen : P).

●Idea No 1: Bulletin Boards:I've been thinking long and hard about this and i think now is a good time to share it with everyone. We need Bulletin Boards if we expect to keep people amused. Yes i'm referring to the ones that were implemented in Twilight Town in the KH 2 and Remastered edition. Or at least basing something off of that concept. The range of what the mission can be varied into different categories and likewise with the level of difficulty of the mission, We can have the missions from ranging to a simple job or to something very drastic(Because people love difficulty). We can award those who complete the mission with Munny(Which needs to bloody used damn it!), Items(Those too.) Weapons, Armor, Ingredients and Miscellaneous items that can be used for other things.

With this in mind we can also create special events with this Bulletin Board as well And since we are on the topic of events we can also use this as a way of having people post more in the RP though we'll need to separate it into two categories to keep things neat and from messing up the flow of the Rp.

One can be categorized as (]"In Game"[ wink , What this means is that missions are actually in the RP and not in a separate thread, This can essentially mean that people can keep themselves preoccupied with whatever mission they choose/given from the Bulletin Board, However they won't be anything Key related to the main story of the plot without the Vice-Captain and Captain's approval, This means we will have to keep an eye out with what people post in the missions if their going to be in the plot of KH Academy.

The other can be called (]"Unrelated"[ wink (Until we can find a better name for those two) and what this one essentially means is that they aren't related to the Main story and are essentially different missions that are unrelated with what's going on. With theses people can have a little more creative freedom in creating a mission because ultimately they will need to be put into a separate Forum that's isolated from the Main story and keep things from getting all too confusing. People can create their own Topic which will gravitate over the mission that they have posted.

And that's all i'm going to say about this idea because i honestly don't want overload your brains on just one topic, If everybody's likes this idea then i'll go more indepth when i get the chance.

●Idea No 2: Munney and Miscellaneous:Munny makes the world go round right? Well if that's so then why the hell aren't we using it? This seems to be a major flaw with this guild and it's the fact that it has glossed over many of the little things, One of which is the most important and that is Munny, I wish to see in this guild people going to shops and buying items like you can do in the KH games and with the help of the Bulletin Board we might make that a reality, Though we will have to go indepth with the prices with items though if we're going to uses this, Something that i'm willing to do if necessary, Also we will need to incorporate items and other things as well because i'm kinda getting sick seeing people casting Curaga every three seconds in a fight.

●Idea No 3: CoolDown Meter and MP usage:Another big problem with the guild is the Spellcasting, I'm constantly seeing people cast High-Tier spells left and right and i'm seeing no side effects whatsoever from them spamming them. Thus i believe we should incorporate a CoolDown Meter in the guild similar to the one they did in the KH 2 and Remastered version. This means we'll have to put some sort of limit on how many spells an individual can use before receiving a cooldown before being able to use their spells again, This also leads me to my second idea, We need to categorize spells and their usage/cost, Meaning if we include this with the cooldown meter we can make it more interesting. For Example:A person can use Cura two times before having to wait for the CoolDown Meter to finish while a person using a Curaga once will have them deal with the CoolDown Meter before being able to cast again due to the high MP cost. Did that rough explanation give you an idea of what i'm trying to explain to you? If so good. People can also use items they bought at the store with Munny to decrease the CoolDown Meter so they can cast quicker.

●Idea No 4: The five Unions :Alright ericsowow brought up a very neat idea when he introduced the Foretellers in the We need bad guys topic, We should revive the Five Unions hopefully with your help ericsowow into this generation, I don't know how we can incorporate them into the guild but i really think there's a lot of potential if we were to use them so lets keep this idea in mind.

●Idea No 5: New Profiles:Well it's about time we set up some posting Layouts for the Guild, It was something that was bound to happen sooner or later but yes we need to take care of this problem very soon, Because if we do we can help control the the level of power that has been derailing the fun in the guild. Oh don't me wrong, We should implement some sort of complicated stat system, We should at least implement some sort of Adept and Indept in the new posting layouts to help ease the level of overpowered characters.


I feel like i'm missing some things that i forgot to mention..Oh well, I think i've made my point across very clearly by naming a few things that could help the guild in the long run. Oh well, Anyways i hope you guys at least agree with something in this jumble of words i made for you guys to look over.

Anyways i would love to stay and chat with you but i'm need in another guild so Ciao!

Thanks for the feedback guys. There are some things I overlooked, especially the broken Keyblades. But still, thank you for that. And at the same time, I apologize if I sounded bias in some of them. I think there is still hope for arcs though, KH themed or not. I have some interesting concepts myself. If you all want to hear.

And I have to admit, Fiendish is right. You don't have to beat yourself over it Kalena. Technically, it's our fault as well for not speaking up when we felt a matter/flaw was needed to be brought up.

The Five Unions could work as a interesting idea. The main goal of all five were to defend the worlds from the Heartless. I have an idea I want to bring up about that for an arc about the Five Unions, but i'll save it for the other forum.

(Breaks knuckles and comes looking at you four with a exhausted glance)

alright, fine. If this brings in new hope to the guild, I will try to learn about KHX(chi)/unbound, even though the browser version is still in Japanese....just like so many other awesome things....

I see you four decided to bring in the five old masters and have a academy for each of them. Am I understanding this right? However here is my question, what about the wielders whom wish NOT to be in any of these five academies? Like a....neutral ground? Wielders of both light and dark within themselves in perfect harmony. ((BBS/KH3D, if I understood ANYTHING about Aqua/Riku))
The Light Extremist arc (which to be honest) I have read and still trying to get a grasp on. Would it not send keybladers who choose not to go with any of the five masters, be sent 'underground' in a sort.
What about keyblade masters who are already established (such as Kalena, ex headmaster of the KKA)
Would they be forced into hiding or into one of the five?

The cool down meter, I feel like we would need a established spell list to say the cool downs. Same with drive forms. Would one be vulnerable after coming out of said form?
Im good with a personal drive form as long as it has limits to how many posts its active and damage to foes/friends is listed.

1. there's a wikipedia page for KHX. Just read a little bit from it. And then download the game on ur phone.

2. We're not really bringing them back, just like give their position to newer masters in the school. As for neutrality, I think they can just choose which class they want to be in.

3. As for the extremist arc, that's all on the player. Whether they want to go into hiding, or choose to fight is by all means their decision. But if they wanna join the extremists, then they gotta be super pure. If not, then that's just going up there to die.

4. For the cooldown meter, we may have to redo the profile skeletons, which in my opinion, would actually throw off a good number of people here.... Or maybe not, it's your choice on what you decide. But the profiles will be bigger, there's no doubting that. Also, I can make the skill list from all kingdom hearts and final fantasy games. (I pretty much done it already xD)

5. Remember, onii-chan! You're in charge of this guild! And we all look up to you! Also, I kinda got my own guild going down under in terms of activity and how it was executed. How do you have an mmo guild like SAO with no level system? So, it's being revamped.

I actually just looked to see if I could download on my android. It never came up.
I am glad that the academy would still be there instead of being replaced by the 5. I will accept that idea.

The cool down meter, that would be a interesting concept if I didn't keep falling down over it. The only things (that im still learning) is dice rolls for the strength of the attack and posting several times before being able to attack again. Is that what the cooldown meter would be like?

There is one thing I like about your profile is that it has the HP and MP boards.
not to sound like a total noob but I really wouldn't know how to adjust that to my needs. I also like the status bar that has attack, defense, speed, etc. I really like that and when I saw it, I though that would be awesome.

Or we can have the light extremist arc like Souchi and eric planned. Every guild always has a bad guy that uses darkness or something like that. Even KHX, Eraqus, and Xehanort said that the light makes people blind and do stupid things for it. AKA, the keyblade war. So.... Let the extremists come, thus creating the sixth dark foreteller, and it creates the fourth keyblade war.


That being said, WHERE THE SCOTCH BONNET HAVE YOU BEEN!!!!!????!?!? You and Lumina were gone from the face of the Earth! But I can understand that.

Ain't quoteing since you didn't quote me on this. had a quick skim through those issues and i'm gonna try a few things.
!. I'm gonna rename the x-blade. It is the x-blade but only a replica and half power from the orriginal....yes i know the only way to obtain that damn thing is to bring together the 13 hearts of darkness and the 7?....hearts of light. Yeh i know. didn't happen thus why a replica and thus why i'm renaming. Hope that helps.
2. When diz used that machine on kingdom hearts his words were anything could happen. Such a thing could be he was teleported somewhere else and gifted with long life. He ain't op. He's just sitting in a office working. why so worked up on him?
3.I'm gonna bury the horsemen and the organization till i can figure out what to do with them so don't expect much rp from them until later. Sorry.
4. Time travel is regulated and highly despised by most of the characters in the rp thus why i try to keep it out. Your welcome.
5.Don't know about the over powered character ...only ones i know of are Eclipse, Kalena, and Kelina. Aka. Headmasters or co-headmasters. Go figure.
6. the current arc is on work. Right now were opening new worlds for people to explore. So by all means check em out.

That is all. Got any questions or concerns go ahead and talk to me.....I"M TRYING HERE -crys-
