I would also appreciate a projected date, even as I'm redesigning Palom's robes.

What does it matter just go:

Tifa walks into the Crimson Dragon Bar. As she walks in the chatter about the room stops as all the men stare at her breasts. She notices this and and gives them a glance like she should not be disrespected. They all went back to their cards, discussions and rum. She walked to the counter and ordered a drink.


There see, no need to explain clothes or techniques or anything! Just start the RP already!!!!

Does Tifa even act like that? I was too busy staring at her breasts throughout FF7 to notice...:p

Yeah, I found myself looking at her chest way too much as well. Most of the time, I could just listen to my mind ask the same damn question...

Dark AB: "So how does she have breasts that big and nice and even with that tight shirt she has on, and you can't see her nipples?"

Me: "Is that even a question?"

Dark AB: "I wants me my fan service, y'dig?"

Me: "Meh."

Anyways, I'm still ready to go. I might as well find a style for Rydia. That green getup she had going was sweet, but she needs some up-to-date sex appeal. I was thinking maybe something in...

Dark AB: "Nothing at all."

No, no, no, not nothing. That's too much fan service. She could be dressed to go to a disco or something. A skimpy little top, baggy jeans, platform shoes with fish aquariums in them, except there's little Leviathans in it, and a beautiful flower in her hair.

Dark AB: "And a giant antique clock around her neck."

You're not fun.

Actually, I can answer your question about Tifa. She's wearing a bra.

Meh, I'll just look at the Advent Children pics to get Tifa's new clothes. Besides why were you asking that question, when she is a character in a game the was created by asian men who can't get any?

I'm just kiddin', Foamy. I'm all about supporting fan service and endorse anime chicks to be especially sexy. Note my title.

You assume they can't get any...rather arrogant of you. I might also add that they created one of the most kick-ass games of all time, and might even have some fangirls.

Hurray for fanservice and sexy anime chicks! :D

"And thus, God said 'Let there be fan service!' and the nations then saw the bouncing breasts, and the lucious hips and thighs, and the perfect faces, and then they did stop firing weapons of mass destruction at one another, and gathered they did before the high definition plasma screen TV, and they did watch the La Blue Girl, and the Golden Boy, and the Bible Black...(goes on and on about other hentai series and regular animes with huge fan service elements like Burn Up! Excess)" - Armored Bishoujo 14:22

And then the Japanese, with their giant robots and powerful magic, took over the world. Ironically, nobody seemed to mind much.

*goes off to do something productive, like watching those shows mentioned in the post directly above mine*

Dark AB: "Hmmm...if people knew that watching hentai and anime loading with fanservice was productive, then I could technically start my own cult."

(rubs palms together) Yes, hee hee hee...yesssss...

You're right. I wonder if we'll get any other signups before it actually starts off? I was thinking of having Rydia dressed like Aya Brea's common clothes in the first Parasite Eve.

I have no idea what that would look like...

wow, this rp has been procrastinated for so long, that I only have a week before i will be non-posting for a while. depending on when this rp starts, i might or might not be in it. if it starts and i'm not doing something within two days, just exclude me

It's called "Moving to a new duty station across the country" as to why it hasn't started yet. I've been busy packing, getting my affairs in order, etc. It'll be about another week at the earlist, depending on how my check-in goes.

Hey...I can't cast Meteor, can I? See, it's all fair.

Yeah, and Rydia can't use her Meteor, either! Show 'im that you can't, Rydia.

(Rydia tries to cast Meteor...nothing happens.)

See, what did I tell-...?

(A giant meteor suddenly pierces down through the cloudly overcast and obliterates a forest.)

Uhhhh...that could just be coincidence.

Palom...demonstrate that you don't know ultima

Palom: "Do I look like a @#$%ing pokemon to you!?" *casts Ultima...obliterates a town*

Can I use my summons? Or do I start from the beginning of the game?

Good question: Is Tifa of the Summoner class?

=Þ

i was just wondering is the postion of sephiroth open?

I think Final Fantasy VII barely had classes. More or less, it's down to the bare minimum...

...Mmmm...Tifa stripped down to her bare minimum...

(shakes head to put away the vision)

Cloud, Tifa, Caitsith, Red XIII, and Cid were all close combat warriors. Barret and Yuffie were long range warriors. Aeris was the true mage of them all. Add in the materia system and anyone can be anything. Ooooo, I got a good one!

(Tifa changes class to summoner and a small horn appears on her forehead.)

Tifa: "I feel a little horny."

(giggles like a little schoolgirl)

Sicko, I had her be a summoner cause I didn't want to depend on Aeris cause I knew she would die, so I used her the least and made Tifa my summoner.

Besides which, a certain spiky-haired character also present in the RP would attempt to inflict painful death on him with the Buster Sword

Heh, nice innuendo...though my question was really a rhetorical one.


So...you used OOC knowledge in an RPG?

[edit] admittedly, I used Tifa primarily as my Black Mage. Cloud fulfilled the meatshield requirement, and we already had plenty of other melee characters, so I decided to make her into my main spellcaster.

Duh, and I wanted Tifa to go out with Cloud anyways.

who all is open?

You need to read the first few pages and then come back and choose a character.

Ahhh..*.

I told you so, Cloud! Pay up!

Just out of curiousity. But, are all of the characters that are going to be present in this RP, all at level one? Or would they have gained experience and grown stronger from their adventures, since I take it, that this RP takes place after all the FF games ended?

(Sneaking in during lunch)

Hey, letting you all know that so far, I'm in a temporary barracks, not yet fully checked in, and as of right now I'm sorta barrowing an NCO's computer to do this. Expect a longer delay.

i did that but i dont know what is open

Can I join in on this?

If so, is Vincent taken?

Don't ask just read and then post, damnit!

Cloud, Palom is from FFIV. :p

Yeah, read Cloud's post, TFM. If you can't read, you probably can't RP.

"Those who do not show patience are unworthy of it."

In other words, I get impatient with those who can't be patient and put forth enough effort to read the thread.

[edit] Heh, I think Cloud missed the hidden message in my first post on the last page...

does squall die in ff8?

You and Cloud made a bet?! On whether or not I want Tifa to be Cloud's g/f.

I take it that this RP takes place after all the FF games ended. So, are all of the characters present in the RP at their max level?

No, Squall does not die in Final Fantasy VIII. And no, Squall hasn't been chosen.

hey can i play if i can im goin to be vincent

Nah, it was just a joke between friends. An "I told you so" thing, actually.

[edit]

Vincent is open, but only to the literate.

Suuuure...feign moral caliber! =Þ

DB burns those who make illiterate or illegible posts. Burns them with extreme cruelty and attention to painful detail.

can i be squall

Anyone who does try and take ultimate stuff will get a literally once-in-a-lifetime chance to go bungee-jumping with their own entrails, the other ends of which shall be tied to a tree at the edge of a cliff before they are thrown off.

um, since you get the brotherhood sword early in the game, does it still count as an ultimate weapon, or just the upgraded version of it?

I did read it, I was just asking in case he forgot anyone.

Okay, seeing as he's not taken, I'll take Vincent.

Weapon:Outsider
Armlet:Mystile
Accessorie:Ribbon. If ribbon's aren't allowed, Jem Ring

Materia:

Mastered
Bolt, Ice, Fire

4 stars
Restore, heal

3 stars
Hades, deathblow

Limit:
Up to HellMasker

Will post HP and MP if nessaccery
There we are. tell me if I've got anything wrong.

sorry the fighter mage but fighter714 chose vincent before you, if he is still going too bee him that is (you have too ask him)

i sign up as squall and i have the gunblade

Actually, I'd already asked for Vincent before fighter714. Also, fighter 714 didn't sign up, and I did.

ok, if the others agree that what you say is correct then i dont mind.

Edgar Figaro

Has the esper Starlet equipped.
Her summon heals entire party for moderate Hp.
For the sake of simplicity, I'll have him only know Starlet's spells:
Cure 1-3
Regen
Remedy

Equipment:
Falchion (atk of 176 and evd of 10) not sure if the stats matter...
Diamond Armor (Def of 70 and Mdef of 46)
Regal Crown (Def of 28 Vit of 1 Stam of 1 Mpwr of 1 Mdef of 23)
Diamond Shield (Def of 40 Evd of 10% Mdef of 27)

He has his full range of tools:
Auto-Crossbow
Noise-Blaster
Drill
Chainsaw
Debilitator
Flash
Air Anchor

Anything wrong with his equipment? All I really care about are his tools as they are what makes him unique.

Personally I think we should just worry about the character archetypes and forget the esper/GF/materia. They take away from the individuality of the characters. Magic should be left to those who are casters first, such as Palom, Celes, and Rydia. The rest of us are just warriors with unique abilities. Edgar would rely on his tools, Locke would have his thievery, Cecil would still have his Dark Knight Dark Wave skill.

But considering I have no idea how this RP will be working, whether the DM will calculate damage, atk strength, and the huge amount of variables that would have to be balanced throughout all games (which seems rediculously complicated) or we just roleplay it out.

I don't know but you can count me in whatever happens.

Is that even an FF character?!

"Tifa walks into the Crimson Dragon Bar. As she walks in the chatter about the room stops as all the men stare at her breasts. She notices this and and gives them a glance like she should not be disrespected. They all went back to their cards, discussions and rum. She walked to the counter and ordered a drink."


Edgar steps up to the bar. As the bartender places the drink in front of Tifa, he
says, "You can put that on my tab."

Turning to Tifa he remarks with a smile, "A woman as beautiful as you should never have to buy a drink."


Never played FF VI? A travesty! Simply a travesty, I say! Best of them all, there can be no doubt. No fancy 3-D graphics here. Just a hell of a story, strong characterization, and excellent gameplay...

Tifa takes a sip of the drink and then says to Cloud, "Where have you been?"

We should start the RP otherwise we might just keep it going in here. lol

"Cloud walks up and sits next to Tifa. 'You're right, she never should, especially when her SO is around to do that for her. Now, move along.'"

Edgar ignores the rude scruffy-looking boy while awaiting a reponse from the beauty sitting next to him.

"Tifa takes a sip of the drink and then says to Cloud, 'Where have you been?'"

Edgar notes the lovely lady's dismissive attitude with some chagrin. "Hmm... I guess my technique's a bit rusty...", he remarks to no one in particular.

Cheering up rather quickly as he's used to this sort of reaction, he calls out, "Well, such an unfortunate occasion calls for a drink!"

He takes a swig before standing up. Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, he wonders what he should do next.

The bar and everyone in it fade to black except Edgar who stands frozen in position. He's a handsome man. His royal lineage is obvious with his strong chin and high cheekbones. His eyes are a piercing blue. Edgar's long blonde hair is held into a pony tail by a string of beeds.

His already broad shoulders are enhanced by a translucent breastplate and shoulder guards. He has wrist guards as well, made of the same crystal looking material, but that is the extent of his armor. His clothing is very fine, made up of deep blues and violet. His lavender cape is long and flowing but he somehow manages to not trip over it all the time. He has a lighter blue sash at his hip while his pants and blouse are both royal blue. Within the folds of his sash, the jeweled hilt of a sword can be seen.

White letters appear floating beneath him in the darkness:

"Edgar...
The young king of Figaro Castle,
Ally of the Returners,
and a master designer of machinery..."

The words fade and the bar and it's patrons reappear. In motion once more, Edgar looks around the crowded room, muttering to himself, "Where the hell is Locke?"





We might as well RP some. Chance to get used to the being the character at least. Although looking back over previous posts, it seems this entire RP is moot. Aeria had remarked that it is against the rules to use existing characters. Checking the rules, I see that this is indeed the truth. So what is the point? I'm assuming that moderators must not actually enforce this rule?

OOC: Edgar Roni Figaro, king of Figaro. The first scholar-type character to actually become powerful in a FF game...though you could also call him an artificer.

FFVI had great characters...but I couldn't like the magic that much. It seemed like the mages all had the same bizarre spellcasting. FFIV was better when it came to magic. For overall coolness, FFVII is unsurpassed, and FFX has the best use of watersports and living rune-monsters. :p

I'll edit this post to include IC content if nobody responds by the time I'm next online.

Okay so who wants to PM Rairai and ask for her permission to do this RP? That person could explain to her that we are taking the chars from our games to technically the only thing that's the same is the appearance and the alliance. The personalities could be very different and the powers are different.

...

I believe Flarecobra already took care of that.

Well why dont we go back IC until this really gets started.

Well, how about some context to spice this up some. Did you make up the Crimson Dragon bar? What world are we in?

Tidus walked into the pub and saw that a number of people were sitting at the bar arguing over a lady.

this is strange, he thought to himself

where am i?

this isn't zanarkand, and it isn't anywhere i saw in my travels either.

OOC: or not. why don't we just leave this alone or create a new thread

i mean, i'm surprised it wasn't closed already.

over 200 replies!

Looking around Edgar notices a young man just standing in the bar towards the entrance, by the confused look on his face Edgar bet this was his first time in such an establishment. He remembered the first time he'd got drunk. Sabin too. Oh that had been a night! Father had not been pleased...not one but both
crown princes making fools of themselves...

Edgar shook himself from his revery, and continued to study the newcomer, "Jeeze, is asymetrical clothing and massive amounts of hair gel the style around here?" he mutters to himself as he notices one of the boy's pant legs is shorter than the other. Not to mention that other guy with only one shoulder guard. I mean come on! Was his other shoulder invincible or something?

Having nothing better to do, Edgar returned to his seat next to the very beautiful yet unfortunately spoken for lady. He considered giving it another shot but no...that really wasn't his style.

OOC: Alright, I haven't beaten FFVI so if I screw up while doing Shadow, go easy on me. Also, I'm not including his dog either, just Shadow. I like being a loner.

IC:
Shadow silently and swiftly made his way into the pub. Not so much as a glance at any bystanders, as he strode towards what his preferred place in a pub would be. Silently making his way over to the farthest end of the counter, he took his seat in one of the many stools.

"Whiskey." He said, eyeing the bartender with his usual piercing gaze. This wasn't unusual for a man who owes allegiance to nobody, and a man rumored to slit his own mother's throat for some gil. Whether it was true or not, nobody was certain, it wasn't as if Shadow gave much of a damn what anybody thought.

After the bartender set his drink down, and took Shadow's payment for the drink, Shadow took the bottle and downed some shots of it. Not much was known about this man. He was always seen to be wearing nothing but black attire. His head and face, shrouded in black cloth, only revealing his eyes, would never be seen to linger upon a person for more than a few minutes. Shadow would only gaze at someone to physically identify who they were, and if they were of any importance or had a purpose to speak with him, then he would be at more attention. This, however, was not always the case. Sometimes he wouldn't even look at you much, even if you spoke to the man.

Who knows what emotions or thoughts lie within this man? The outer shell that is present to the world, is a shell of ominous apathy. He goes by the name of Shadow. And introductions aren't his strong suit.

that was a nice description hiroshino, i think that is like shadow really is

Edgar notices Shadow's entrance with some surprise. How had he gotten here? He was reluctant to go over and ask. Despite that the ninja had eventually joined them in their fight against Kefka, he still had never really opened up to anyone. Well, maybe Relm...there was something there...

And since their narrow defeat of that insane clown, Shadow had just left without another word. So just how exactly had the loner made it between the two worlds? Edgar had thought his people were the only ones who knew of its existense... let alone how to create a bridge...

Edgar was just about to get over his uneasiness and approach the ninja, when Kel burst into the room.

He shook his head in annoyance as the young soldier made his way over. This had better be an emergency! They were supposed to be keeping a low profile. The last thing they needed was this world's authorities aware of them.

"Your Ma- um, uh Gerad." Edgar let it pass since even though Kel was clearly agitated he still managed to catch it. "Um..Blare requests your presence immediately. Something's wrong."

Edgar quickly scanned the room. Most weren't paying attention but some patrons were...

"Alright. Come on. Did she give you any details?" he asked quietly as he strode out of the bar.

The young soldier lowered his voice as well, "I don't know. Something about ir- um irregularities in the...the wave for-"

The rest was lost as the door closed behind the two.



Okay, I'm just messing around but if anyone wants to roleplay something more ambitious than sitting around a bar just follow Edgar (don't let him see you follow him). There will be action. Just free-form though.

Oh and I figure we're in the world of FF VII from Cloud and Tifa's comments.

"I just got in a few minutes ago, Cloud." Tifa watched as the man who had been hitting on her walked towards another man that seemed to be a shroud of black. "Hey, Cloud, what do you think their up to?"

As Edgar stepped over to the chocobos hitched nearby, his eyes traveled over Port Junon. The place was goldmine of technology that no one in particular seemed to be using. With an airport, a ShinRa facility,and an underwater reactor (and the submersibles that go with it!) Edgar had been chomping at the bit to get a look at some of their machinery. He'd been completely surprised to find that except for the airport, they'd all been pretty much abandoned by the new government.

His chocobo, Blinx, squawked at him as he approached. He grinned and made soothing noises as he untied the great beast. Swinging up into the saddle, he made sure his diamond shield and lance were secure in their straps beneath each of Blinx's wings. Edgar's pack chocobo, carrying all his tools in several very heavy boxes, moved in position behind Blinx as he was trained.

Seeing Kel was mounted, Edgar gave a "Hyahh!" and the chocobos were off sprinting through the town before settling into a slower pace they could maintain. Edgar grimaced, he hadn't even gotten a chance to ask about why no one was using the Port Junon facilities. Of course, if he hadn't been wasting his time hitting on that girl...
