Jump Superstars : The RPG
 

Im thinking on a "Jump Superstars RPG" to go arund here in January, what do you guys think?

Think of it as the "NPF Kingdons Heart". It will feature all Jump Series as PC Classes and races in a unique storyline. I would like some opinios from you guys on hw ot do this

here are some guideliens that will rule this RP game

- No Hybrids (In series and Between series)
- No "I'm a son/student/follower/clone of main character X"
- You will not be anle to play as one of the characters of any Jump series, you need an original character to play of your own
- Powers will be leveled (It means thtat DBZ will be powered down and that Bleach/Naruto/One piece wil get aroudn the same power level)
- No Omnipowers (Death note........ and others)

The game will rule with 3 unique aspects that im going to try out

- Social stages: thee wil be sections fo the game regarding Investigation, Interaction and even Stealth

- Episode Breaker: Each gaming thread will roll on 60 posts (medium) before a new thread is made. When that time comes the GM will create an "Episode Breaker". It's just a little gimmick that will create an Clifhanger for the next thread and will allow for "flashbacks" and more backgroudn development that can allow players to expand their characters and even their powers. But it will not be mandatory

- Multiple Teams: People will be able to split up and take different sides on the story and even run by some Sidequests and Alternative routes.

Characters will be made with a point system ,and will be leveled as such.

If you dont knwo which series belong in this universe, here is the wiki link

Please as as MANY questions as you want and give as many suggestions as you would like, i'll answer !

Sounds cool, sign me up! Oh, but do you play as a character from the series or make up your own.

I love cross-overs, so I'm in. Gives me a chance to go with character ideas meant for lesser known series I wouldn't normally get to use

Oh and I get that we are looking for the Naruto/One Piece/Bleach power level. But what part? From start to where the story is now all three main characters have become vastly stronger.

A couple of ideas:
 

Battle Stadium D.O.N. and JUMP's balance works well for me:

No one is stronger than anyone else in terms of pure power, only bosses have additional added "plot" power.

Kyuubi Naruto (2-3 tails) is on par with Gear 2 Luffy, and Super Saiyan Goku, Pirates and Ninjas fight equal, and with their own special Quirks, Even the weak Oolong can take down Goku.*

The only real trouble is the additional powers, like some guy can stop time, DBZ heroes can fly, and a hero who can only be harmed by lead or some stuff. The best trick is to simply annul such unique godlike powers and difficult weaknesses and agree to a level of common fighting ground. Goku, for instance, would fight on land regardless, as he and any other honorable fighter would fight on the same terms with whomever he was fighting, and even handicap himself to give his opponent a fair fight. Might even give a non flying character his nimbus (Luffy, for example), or perhaps in the case of Crocodile or A vampire character, the fight organizer would give characters natural abilities the way to affect the enemy.

Or, quite simply, the fight would be someplace where the battles would be even, like the Shinigami are susceptible to physical weapons in Soul Society, so a fight against them would be in their realm.

In a plot perspective, I'm sure the token "genius" of the respective show would figure out something if there was a stark disadvantage.

Slapstick Characters (Like Bobobo, or Excel, Ranma 1/2 chars) are always as strong as their opponent as it is funny to be.

*My point is this: One piece characters, even the weakest take a much, much longer beating before being taken down compared to Naruto and Dragonball Z, and even Bleach! So we can immediately assume everyone on One Piece's world are physically fitter than your average people on the other worlds, and we get that sort of balance.

You have to create your own unique character, that's a must.

Also, on the powerlevel thing, ofcourse things like the Fusion powers and the Teleport powers of DBZ will be De-powered. But nothign will be "nullified". You will be able to see or learn pretty much any thing you saw on those series.

But where a chaacter can Fly another will be able to "super jump" and stuff liek that... there will be a somewhat "Advent Children" balance here.

Also, i'm REALLY encouraging people to step into the other jump series (yes, you can play as a character from Slam Dunk or Prince of Tennis and still beat Goku... it's a freaking anime RPG!)

It's a manga RPG, manga, not anime.

DP, may I point out that there's more of a chance people have watched the anime then read the manga? So the differences between both can vary.

On that note, count me in.

But for the sake of common knowledge, whenever there is some complications regarding knowledge of the series i'l have the consider the following:

1- If the Manga is avaliable on your country, everything up to the latest issue is to be considered (even if you watch a funsub that is more advanced)

2- If such manga dosent exist, but the anime does, than the US version of the Anime will be consider above all else.

3- However, if the players involved have common knowledge of the most advanced episodes of the series (probably via Fansub) than that will be considered.

Just to make sure we're all o nthe same page...

Now, nobody will start on the higher scale of level (it means no Super Sayan, Bankai or Blue eyes dragon right of the bat, you will have to acquire these)

I'll post soon enough a list of powers just so you can have a clue on what each class can really do in game.

I am interested, sign me up and whatnot, placeholder, need sleep...

Too many different choices... I'd love to do DBZ or Kenshin... but the two differ so much. Kenshin is more realistic sword combat and DBZ is tossing power around left and right.
