RPGS Fans Welcome: FantasyEpic I

Post Reply New Topic

To anyone who doesn't know what a forum RPG is, please look it up on Wikipedia. To those who know, here is one, enjoy!

This is an RPG I want to try and get going. Even though I never played Final Fantasy and though little about the the series, I am going to try something loosely based off of it. The areas are mostly cities, with occasional fields or natural areas such as deserts, fields, bodies of water and etc.

The Story:

"It all started a year ago. Certain people kept disappearing. They are certain because they have... extraordinary properties. Or rather, the potential to become extraordinary. They come in sizes big and small, short and tall, of races and ethnicity aplenty with eyes and hair of different colors. The people's personalities were that of different kinds. Each one unique, complicated and wonderful in their own ways.

I myself was the 3rd one to disappear. I appeared in this world one day after meeting him. Yes, I think he is the connection. He was a fellow like no other. That hobo... He appeared in different places. He always had his trademark red and green sweater with a thick black bathrobe, dulled and weathered thick corduroys and those old leather shoes. He had on a home made scarf, that fur cap and those ski goggles.

He was tan and looked African American He had a scruffy beard that never seemed to grow. The oddest part were his eyes. Their colors...
They were like a rainbow or rather a mosaic of different colors. It was like he gazed into your soul like an all-knowing deity. The next day, I woke in the new world.

It has been a year and there are probably 30 to 50 Earthlings here. Some have thrived, some have survived, and others... well, they joined the new afterlife. It has been a year since I arrived, and now I realize I have to find out why I was sent. That hobo... I had seen him nearly a year later... maybe the anniversary that these disappearances started. He looked at me with those eyes and he vanished in the wind. His gaze pierced my soul and I realized that day...

I wasn't alone... and now I have to find others so we find why we are here... and judging by that man's gaze... it may kill us not finding out..."

Example
Name: Diego
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Class: Shaman- Having evolved from being tribal healers or 'witch-doctors,' these group of people rely on the powers of the natural world and the elements. Although there is often specialization in healing, brawler or sniper, some occasionally are jacks-of-all-trades. Despite 'modern' technology being frowned upon, the shamans tolerate the use of guns. They are mostly neutral toward the modern world, though they adapt some customs to their own. Anyone can be a shaman. They wear traditional robes with a tattoo gained upon completed a first level of training. However, the younger shaman often wear 'normal clothing' or even armor. This is tolerated, but frowned upon unless they are solitary or if necessary. They are in close relationship with the users of the animal spirits, the Druids.

Aligned/'Preferred' Element: None

Familiar/Pet: None as of yet

Description: Diego is around 5'9" and wears a black T-shirt with a gold yingyang symbol on front and a picture of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, portrayed as an Ouroboros with the crescent moon and sun in the center of the loop on the back. He has chocolate brown eyes and black hair. He has on some dark blue cargo pants and some black tennis shoes with a red spiral on them. He has a watch that still works, as time appears to work the same as Earth, on his left arm and carries a black-camo backpack. He completes the assemble with some futuristic-looking goggles on his head, and a gray fleece M-44 Jacket. He has a set of black tonfa with glowing runes etched onto them.

Personality: Diego is a complicated character. He acts polite and cheerful around people. He has a short temper and is often annoyed by people. However, he has a deep loyalty to those he cares about. He is also quite eccentric and affectionate, often scaring people away, having to develop a line-wolf persona as a defense mechanism. Deep down, he is lonely and feels misunderstood. He also has a dark, twisted, merciless side to him that is also somewhat crazy. He is also philosophical and occasionally zones out.

Encounter with the 'hobo': He was on the subway with him at one point and offered him some of his sandwich to the hobo. He has been on here for nearly a year and was the 3rd to disappear from Earth, so approximately 10-11 months ago.

Theme Song: To come later

Sounds interesting, but go into deeper detail and I'll consider it.

In where should I go into deeper detail?

I get the gist but I need more to understand. Or would you prefer to just start and see how it grows?

Essentially, yeah. It also adds an element of surprise because you don't know what to expect.

Even though he is versed in a range of social sciences, he isn't the talkative person.

Encounter with the 'hobo': Walked past the hobo while on the job, took a glance to see if the hobo posed a danger/oppertunity/obstacle now or later.

Theme Song: Ave Maria by Christina England Hale

I met the hobo 264 days ago in Amsterdam, he seemed trivial at the time and didn't appear further on in the job.

EDIT: Personality description, date of meeting hobo.

Besides a minor typo, this is really awesome. I'm gonna see how many people join and at around 3-5, I'm going to start the Prologue.

I want to join yet I'm having difficulties finding a class. Do you know of any sites where I could read up on them? It's a dumb question, but it has to be asked.

You could take any class from World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy or you could try and make one and I'll see if it works. Glad to see someone else besides me and Wallourdes are interested.

Name: Cecilia

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Class: Hunter. Fond of Crossbows and the regular Bow, she has a keen eye when it comes to hunting and befriends animals easily. Skilled at trapping and tracking as well, back on Earth she would hunt anything legally.

Aligned/'Perfered' Element: NA

Familiar/Pet: A Black Mouth Cur named Winchester who is two years old and a well trained hunting dog.

Description: Cecilia a Russian, German, English Canadian. Her face shape square shaped with high cheek bones and brown eyes framed by thick black eyebrows.

For shoes she wears black hiking boots, a pair of black three fingered archer gloves on her right hand and an arm guard on her left arm.

Personality: Cecilia is easily paranoid and doesn't trust quickly; when it comes to animals she softens up and is quite humourous when being around them. Despite her general dislike to most people those who she cares about are treated with respect and loyalty. When it comes to hunting she is stealthy and at peace; she loves anything to do with being outdoors. She is a moral being; she doesn't shoot at sitting ducks but will kill an injured animal to put it out of it's misery.

Encounter with the 'hobo': Cecilia first met the hobo while taking Winchester for his daily walk and stopped to tie her shoe lace. She did not take her eye off of him at all because she was suspicious and had Winchester ready at hand. This was sixth months ago since she disappeared from Earth.

(P.S: When it comes to spelling I will make mistakes, also with grammar. Forgive me! D: Also I'm Canadian and spell like a Canadian so you will notice extra u's in things: Colour, humour, amoung, etc.)

Wonderful! All we need is one more profile before this is ready to go.

What if no one else wants to join? Will we still go on with it?

Yeah, I'll give it 3 more days fore someone to make a profile. Then we start. So invite your friends.

I have no friends on here.

Okay, guys! Let's get this show on the road!

Prologue-Part 1: Fields of Genesis

They say the first people of this continent came from here. There were fields of lush green grass of varying heights. Occasional trees can be seen for the weary to lie under. There are a few ponds and the range is open to see the sky. The two headliners are first the dark, and glowing city in the nearby distance and the cliff descending into a small beach leading to the sea. Oh yeah... there is background music in this world. It id admittedly shocking and a bit unnerving at first, but you get used to it, especially since it helps define the scenery. In these fields, a soothing and yet mystical theme echoes in a subtle yet noticeably volume. Such as the legends of heroes coming from the fields, it is ironic I suppose, most newbies start here, including me...

Diego was lying under a tree as he was reflecting the thoughts of all that occurred in this world. He was resting. He was now an official shaman, though he work to do ahead. He liked here, nowhere near as mundane as Earth, then again, we all feel that our home may be mundane at one point...
