My mind is like; "Hey remember that stress over how to host Sauria in a way that isn't depressing for you while still addressing social and ecological issues? Remember struggling with the plot? I've got the solution- it's taken me a while of seclusion but this is it- set the RP on Sauria with a particularly devious buisnessman as your antagonist- no not buisnessman buisnnessman I mean mafia buisness man- give him some reason to want the political strife."

and I"m like "But mind, I want a slice of life RP with anthropomorphic dinosaur characters."

MIND: "Hey crime is a life. The players are residence of an apartment owned by this mafia-"

ME: "NOPE NOPE NOPE MIND NO!"

Mind: "Forget then."

and I feel sad as if I've lost something I had but never knew till I lost it.

The Legends of Eroris
Brotherhood

Co-OPs-




- "Our forces were in dire straits... The enemy calvary had just routed our right flank and everyone thought that it was the end. I was among Alaro's guard that day. He didn't care for his own safety; just for the safety of his soldiers. He disappeared into the enemy horde and for a moment I feared he had been cut down... But later I saw the Emperor, blood and gore encrusted on his valiant blade, fighting with the strength of a thousand men. At that moment I couldn't tell if he was an elf, or a god..."

Soldier of the Order of the Phoenix, written in 2284 of the 3rd Era




"...We had left Eroris as strong men, proud and ignorant of the atrocities that we would face... but now we are just scared boys, broken, riven, and doomed to die..."

-Fallen Soldier


Today is the 30th of Hard Rain (4) the year 4E 901. Alaro Ashen's heirs still rule his Empire, but now they, and the whole of Eroris, face the greatest threat in Erori history. Though, to get to the heart of the story, we have to go back to the beginning.

When Alaro Ashen first united the bickering states of Eroris under his Ashen Empire, the people rejoiced. They were tired after centuries in the darkness of the Third and worse Interregnum. Man killed Man, Beast killed Beast, and Elf killed Elf. The wars of the Third Interregnum were terrible. However, what the people of Eroris failed to realize at the start of the Empire was that a greater prize, dominion over all of Eroris, led to greater conflict. The years of Alaro, and his son Alyari after him, were times of peace and prosperity. And when I say years, I am referring to a few hundred years; elves are naturally long lived after all. However, this tendency to live a hundred, nay, three-hundred years led many Ashen princes to ponder: "Wouldn't it be better if I was the Emperor?" At first, these feelings lingered under the surface, leaving the aging Alyari to dread what would occur following his death. He warned his family to stop bickering over the most trivial of matters before a conflict between cousins turned into a conflict between provinces. These words, however, fell on deaf ears. And, as often comes true with the predictions of dying old men, Alyari's fears came true. The first war of the Ashens, the War of the Phoenix, devastated Eroris on a scale the minor warlords of the Interregnum could only dream of. A continent ripe for the taking was just too great a prize for some. There were periods of peace, yes, but in the end, another long lived uncle or cousin emerged to challenge another for the right to the throne. All this came to a head, however, with the death of Aren II.

Now, Aren II was no ordinary Ashen. He was ambitious, much like Alaro before him, and this ambition led him to his death. You see, what is the point of ambition to conquer more for the Empire when all before his eyes is already conquered? His solution was simple: the southern continent of Akou. Now, not much was known about Akou in those days and even today. Most of the information modern Eroris has on Akou comes from the few races of the land that have migrated onto Eroris. Nevertheless, this foolhardy Emperor invaded, eighty-thousand men, the largest force ever assembled in Erori history, set out to Akou and only one frightened soul returned. Eroris forgot about Aren II's foolish mission... but Akou did not. After his death during his invasion, the War of the Black Phoenix erupted, in which all but one Ashen was killed, the reigning Emperor, up until very, very recently: Azelian the Great. Now, Azelian the Great looked back on all that had gone wrong with his dynasty, and decided that, in the event of his death, any Ashen could challenge the heir apparent for the throne not in war, but in a trial by combat: The Proving. Of course, since he was the only Ashen left, this seemed to be a wise decision on his part. However, this decision could very well doom Eroris. For just a few days before the 30th, the day our story begins, our great, wise Emperor Azelian received reports that a large group of... marauders, we shall call them, had landed on the Valyarian Isle of Alista, and had laid siege to Evermoor. He set out with a legion, confident that he would drive the rabble from his shores. Little did he know, which he would only discover upon his death, was that this was no rabble. This was an invasion...

And that brings us back to now. The Isle of Alista remains cut off from all outside contact as a fleet of "marauders" guards the coast of this great isle. Meanwhile, the sole white raven flies high towards Isnhrion to reignite a conflict between two brothers that could very well doom the world, and I am not speaking lightly when I say this. The dice has been cast, the pieces have been placed, prayers have been answered, (and Lore has been typed) This is the Legend of the Akouteen Invasion.





"I'm not a leader because I am sure of myself, I am leader because my people are sure of me."
-Alaro Ashen

After 16 years, I am finally playing Kingdom Hearts for the First TIME so I may get caught up before playing the most recent one. I have the HD 1.5 Final Remix version with artbook- found at a PC store that doubles as a vape shop.

Ick, vaping, hate the word.

Next one of my guys I see vaping is getting smacked, I swear, not sure what it is with people and that horrible habit >.> Course I caaaan slap shit out of my Marines for it, but my sister is beyond that community outreach program.

That aside, was sweet on a girl in elementary to middle school who loved Kingdom Hearts, always struck me as odd that a goth girl (one of the rare few that are like supernova star level of knock out gorgeous) liked video games. Do goths even exist now? I feel the goth sub culture has just gave way to the emos... alas, human evolution has once more wiped out a whole subspecies of humanity.

So I see something about knights, anything else been going on up in here? Nothing much on my end aside from my really crappy attempt at a fantasy RPG themed novelette XD

A Redwall like RP but that's about it. It has lost a Chunk of it's player base.

So it looks like I'll have another Gamma World RP up though the project is slow growing; and the IC will be limted to four players via the Co-Op's request as I'm working with another player on making it.

Also, due to playing Mortal Kombat X- I want to revisit my idea of a MK-esque / Tekkan-esque fighting game RPG that's a combination of tournament and roleplay experience (similar to the Sports RPs here on NS but heavily character based with an adapting plot).

For the latter I'd like to use some kind of system to make the battles less narrative more stat based in outcome. Any suggestions?

Well, I just finished reading the League of Extraordinary Gentleman so am leaning towards an action based rp.

Princess Sisters
Fight for Enoc


Princess Sisters is a different concept then what I usually do here on NS. Born of an idea I had for a Visual Novel Princess Sisters is a RP where the players are technically half sisters- the daughter of the Emperor and one of the many Queens of the Expanse whose realms he conquered. But the Emperor was placed under a curse early in his conquests- a curse meant to 'curb' his ambition. He can never have a son- his dynasty dies with him and his death leaves the empire he built destined to be torn apart from with in- or so the witch hoped.

When the Emperor launched an invasion of Earth he fell- in what is considered the greatest embarrassment of the Empire. With his death the Empire shattered and his most trusted of servants took his daughters to the one place no one would expect them to be found- Earth.

Now, as a fierce warlord works to reunite the shattered Empire under his banner the servant has again been tasked - this time with collecting the sisters in hopes of countering this great evil... but what have they become during their time on Earth for they do not recall who they where? ... and even if they are made to remember- will they not simply turn on one another for only one may be Empress?

Sample Character
Name: Miryra Bates
True Name: Kacela Dominarea (Dominarea being the Emperor's Surname)
Image

Daughter of the Vampire Queen and the Great Emperor Kacela is a Dhampire possessing many of her mother's physical attributes but none of the Vampire weaknesses. In her old life she exhibited a stern yet loving connection with her fully human sister while having mixed feelings about her other siblings. She actually killed in that life; allowing herself to 'purge' her darker desires during the full moon. Her father turned a blind eye. She tried to impress him but his leniency on her actions was the only love he gave her.

After the failed invasion of Earth she like her siblings where smuggled into hostile territory - memory of who they where replaced with a simple unknowing. She awoke in the ruins of New York in the clothing of that world and set about looking for food- surviving on dog before being found by members of the NYPD- who knocked her out. She was sent to therapy for her amnesia, and odd behavior before finding her way into a foster family. Of this she can only insist that she hates dogs- her interest include European history, the Moon, Night Skies, and a form of larp in Vampire the Masqarade of which her foster family is presently barring her from partaking in due to her getting a bit too into character.

It is perhaps fortunate that the Servant has summoned her now. Where it not for the invasion being well known she'd be skeptical of the whole ordeal- of being called to this isolated shack to meet her sisters.


A concept I've got right now... kind of a mess right now.

Background
The concept started with me wanting to do a 'Mortal Kombat CYOA' game but knowing I don't own MK I opted to just do something like it and the above doesn't do that very well.

also, I find it disappointing that most visual novels are just- fetish engines.

also, I find it disappointing that most visual novels are just- fetish engines.

Most fun I ever had with a visual novel was reading them with friends and each of us voicing a different character To be honest most the time we would screw up, forget how a character sounded, and just ad lib the lines. Yours truly usually ended up as the clueless harem protagonist, I made better villains though... it is more fun to play the villain because you can talk like a really campy 80's cartoon villain - Skeletor was the best.

Just me or were 80's cartoons kind of homoerotic? Not that it relates to anything, I just realize now that there were a lot of muscular fit guys running around borderline naked and wrestling a lot...

The RP idea is neat though, I have kind of dropped off RP entirely, I have one project going on now, but it is a collaborative writing (Me and Marie have equal and full control over everything, actually working out pretty cool so far, story is moving substantially quicker also) not particularly enthused with the idea of RP writing, I don't mind this new idea of collaborative writing though - and given how our numbers have dwindled I think we should go this kind of route or at the least explore it.

Whatever needs the most work done.

Admittedly this seems more "anime" like so I am not real good writing that sort of plotline, but I will give it my best.

I am also not good with Anime, again this is different then anything I've tried :blush: however you are great with romance and action (action being a weakness of mine in writing) so this is what I propose;

I think that- since I do have a visual novel program on this computer (with profit options) that we can work on this together. I'm thinking that for the sake of- focused narrative the protagonist should be ... hmm... the son of the Servant who unlike the sisters was allowed to keep his memories or perhaps had them restored on his 17th birthday and due to his father's condition he's the one tasked with getting the sisters together and directing them to confronting the evil warlord. He'd have to decide for himself weather to restore their memories (some may not want their memories restored) and he'd have to keep the peace between them and advice them. With this idea regarding the protagonist I think that a possible ending is one where he becomes Imperial Consort should one of the girls become Empress- and also I feel that there should be a route where the Empire doesn't form but instead the sisters form a coalition and the protagonist becomes Royal Consort to one of them- or say the protagonist doesn't restore any memories to the girls- that their should be endings where at least a few of them if not most decide not to rule and instead return to Earth which has become their home.

Admittedly this seems more "anime" like so I am not real good writing that sort of plotline, but I will give it my best.

I am also not good with Anime, again this is different then anything I've tried :blush: however you are great with romance and action so this is what I propose;

I think that- since I do have a visual novel program on this computer (with profit options) that we can work on this together. I'm thinking that for the sake of- focused narrative the protagonist should be ... hmm... the son of the Servant who unlike the sisters was allowed to keep his memories or perhaps had them restored on his 17th birthday and due to his father's condition he's the one tasked with getting the sisters together and directing them to confronting the evil warlord. He'd have to decide for himself weather to restore their memories (some may not want their memories restored) and he'd have to keep the peace between them and advice them. With this idea regarding the protagonist I think that a possible ending is one where he becomes Imperial Consort should one of the girls become Empress- and also I feel that there should be a route where the Empire doesn't form but instead the sisters form a coalition and the protagonist becomes Royal Consort to one of them- or say the protagonist doesn't restore any memories to the girls- that their should be endings where at least a few of them if not most decide not to rule and instead return to Earth which has become their home.

I do best with like RPG stuff
Fantasy is my bread and butter.
Currently writing an entirely whacked out story with my partner in crime revolving around religion (God and God against Satan and Evil) pretty killer stuff, the heroine is the daughter of Satan, the hero is... well, he is a normal guy, but he keeps up with it all.
Though I also wrote and am writing a piece mostly on my own (Marie is reading this one, only person I trust to not judge me on it >.>) about a paladin and a lich, that is true fantasy.
Not that it matters on NS, but I write adult fiction real good, well, I suppose the romance part could matter on here - they have not banned that yet.

oh hahahha my recently awake mind mistook your words earlier to meant that you where not interested in writing stuff for an NS RP but where more interested in Visual Novels. I'd like clarity on what you meant and will say that I'd love to get this as an NS RP going or a visual novel as it started as a VN in concept.

Honestly it would be possible to write a VN on NS
A visual novel is simply a normal story with pictures, hardest part would be getting the pictures.
If you think of it as each post is a frame then you have the picture at the top and then you have the writing below that.

Well, this will certainly make it different then anything I've done before and NS has the Fiction section for writing so this is perfect :)

An idea; perhaps the protagonist can be someone the Servant took in while on Earth-a kid who lost his family who where defending the world from the Invaders at a young age. Thus giving the alternative motive of just wanting to avoid another invasion by stopping this warlord.

Or perhaps such could be another character- someone connected with a government or agency that is aware of the sisters and is assessing both them as a threat and the warlord.

---------------------------------------------------

Lore wise we need to determine the after math of this invassion as the Expanse is largely a fantasy realm compared to Earth with was perhaps in the late 2000s when the invasion happened. I don't know if details on Earth is a must for the concept but it'd be good to know when designing the characters.

Such as in the above idea.... Earth despite my love of althistory is always a point of weakness for me in RPs that have Earth and other worlds. For example; Sauria was very vague on Earth but I feel we need to solidify a few things;

  • Who is the Protagonist? The son of the Servant or the adopted son of the Servant? If adopted does he know what happened to his parents and at what age was he taken in?
  • What' has Earth become like after the invasion?
  • Are all the sisters in North America or are they more widely spread forcing the protagonist to travel?
  • Who is this evil warlord? A former general under the dead Emperor or a barbaric raider from some other realm - or a nomadic conqueror who was enlisted by the Emperor as a mercenary? Who is the foe?

HALO did it pretty good with the invasion of Earth I feel. Have the war isolated to portions of the world that do not really belong to any country so that no one feels like I do any time a scifi movie screws with the U.S. which is "Our military is about 75% of the world's armies, and you think some aliens could kick our asses?"
Not to say Africa is some massive shithole, just that a good portion of it is ambiguous on territory due to the terrain

What I propose is that the aliens land somewhere like, eh, the Congo? No, someplace with a ton of cameras around, they land in a warzone, and right now... gotta remember what parts of Africa are in war. Chad? No, they ended that recently I think, I believe Sudan is still in civil war.

So the aliens land in Sudan, immediate media coverage. US satellite spick it up immediately, Hell, all the nerds looking for aliens for years found it but the higher ups above them were like "nah, it is a asteroid, disregard" thus when there is a delayed response from NATo and such who are completely caught off guard because one guy said "It's a rock" - Hell of a rock!

The invasion ends well enough, this is where it gets tricky though, China would probably not really care? They would be more interested in stealing tech if they can, same for CSTO really. Interested in testing weapons on people who can't bitch at you in a UN court the US rolls out all the stops and tests some major weapons finally. (The aliens seem pretty Covenant like, so I figure massive orbital weapons would be the only thing we got to really screw them over)

Funny thing is Trump announced like a week ago now? Some short time ago, that the U.S. will now build a Space Force - so maybe we incorporate that? I hate to make it real U.S. centric, but there is just so little else in the world of that topic. Russia is kind of going through a hard time economically and while one can argue they have massive militia forces and old rusty nukes that is not real impressive, China is much the same - no one is really putting the boatloads of money into it.

Maybe the invasion is something more XCOM? That levels the playing field more, pretty much every nation has a SOF of some sort. So we have a small contingient of the invasion land in Sudan. The allied forces of Earth - only way you would ever see NATO, CSTO, and all the other groups wanting to kill each other work together. Thus the combined forces fight and make their way up to the main fleet where a tactical nuclear weapon is detonated HALO Reach style destroying all the aliens there.

Our protagonist is a former knight of the empire, he turned coat and joined the humans, now he has word the empire is rising again and he refuses to let his new home be destroyed. He knows the American city the girls are in, he just has no idea who they are, so he must venture out and find them

I- guess ships make more sense then portals (as I was going with portals for the fantasy feel). Again the idea started out as MK inspired but there is benefit in doing ships instead- I just felt them to be too 'sci-fi' for the fantasy like worlds of the Empire. It's a bit like me and gunpowder in fantasy- it's a difficult line to tread- a balance between technology and magic with fantastic elements.

But let's discuss the idea of some XCOM/Special Force/Task Unit of international support handling the invasion (be it by ship or portals) and utilize your very logical assessment that the invasion would start in underdeveloped regions of the world where command and infrastructure can be established for the invading forces who can expect light rather then heavy resistance.

Though we should determine if it is ships or portals- portals made more sense in keeping a fantasy feel (Warhammer is too sci-fi for me despite being classified as Science Fantasy). I'm not sure why I have a conflict here in trying to decide between portal or ships. Portals would allow instant travel compared to ships would would be crawling for decades perhaps to their destination- perhaps both- ships and portals but then you have the issue of how do they communicate that they lost? How does anyone know the Emperor is dead? With portals it's easier to explain then decades between message transmissions.

Does that make sense or do you have a counter point? I want us to work together so I'd have to make consessions on these types of things at some point.

--------------

Though now my question is in regards to this part;

Our protagonist is a former knight of the empire, he turned coat and joined the humans, now he has word the empire is rising again and he refuses to let his new home be destroyed. He knows the American city the girls are in, he just has no idea who they are, so he must venture out and find them.

What does he do when he finds them since you have the Empire still being around?

----------

Once we determine by consensus what the war was like we can determine how the world has changed.
