Guess What? Discussion TIME! (CLOSED SHICH AND DJAY)

Hey ladies, since we all find ourselves on at a different time why don't we just make a thread and duke it out here? It seems easier to communicate that way.

Anyway, the current idea of a new site is now thrown up. I suggested a modern-based fantasy with elements of underground war, magic, and secrecy. Ill explain it later but if you have any objections or other ideas speak up now! We could even finish pokemans if you guys want. Any of them sound good.

I like that idea completely. we would have separate territories, Organizations (organization creation -people must have at least 7 members to create an organization), Leaders of different Lands with different objectives. Before we implement a storyline with a hard hitting antagonist, we should allow a growth of members. We could merely call it the introduction were people communicate with other members before things pick up.

questions we should ask ourselves:

1. does magic include mythical creatures as playable characters
2. Should the titles be more based on rank, or on race (etc- Djay is a vizard (race) vs Shich is a Captain (rank)
3. beginners and basic level magic, intermediate members and average magic, serious members and expert magic seperations (by this i mean if a character begins, should we give them flexibility of whatever they want or use judgement to say that at their level they would not be able to master such an ability/spell)
4. Does this modern world have any relation to our modern world

any other questions could be brought up too

Those are all good questions, and Ill attempt to answer them or give you my vague opinions on them. (Also, Shich is at his friends for the weekend, so he probably wont see this until today or tomorrow)

To answer your factions question, I was thinking we would have either permanant unchangable factions that the RPC chooses along the way, giving you certain benefits depending on the faction. They would be under complete RPC control, just the name and history are given. ORRR we could do it as you said, and have them player made. IKts fine either way, but I think the permanent ones are better (We would introduce them later, since the intro can just be getting used to the society.)

1. Well, I think we SHOULD introduce that concept, but the mythical creatures shouldn't be anything not humanoid. Things like vampires (I almost cringed while typing that), werewolves, zombies, etc. would be able to fit in fine.

2. I think the titles should actually have both, specific titles for specific races (THAT or we could do specific titles for the permanent faction)

3. We should give them limits as you said, but more general categories like abilities involving time or whatnot....but free range would allow for more creativity. Anyways, maybe not like I just said, but a few limits to keep them on their toes.

4. Yes, the modern worlds territories would be parallel to ours, i.e. China, US, Brazil, etc. We don't have to keep the same cities, or add a few/change a few of them.

Alright, so we can generate those later. For now, however we should address more simple and needed issues like races, etc.

So we can allow vampires, werewolves, mages, un-dead, Demons, Angels....anything else im missing? OH! Robo's, Mutants, (ghosts maybe)

I think titles based on permanent faction rank would be fine. the color of the username will indicate race just like we have it on this site.

alright, ill begin thinking of a rough draft limit for abilities.

And sense we are using the world as our map, could someone take a very basic BLANK map and put it on here so we can put names in certain locations of new locations.

We can come up with some cool hipster slang terms for the races, and ill attempt to find a map. in the meantime ill be thinking of factions and stories for now.

alright, first send me what character you plan on using. imma make a sick ass banner for the site

Alright, the conditions for actual locations. by that i mean how does America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, etc look?

Emiya Kiritsugu or Houtarou from Hyouka. Havent decided my faceclaim. Yeah, those are the locations, however I think we should make SOME main cities as forums, and maybe unlock more as we develop the story? Whaddya think?

site is made, obviously not permanently named. Just tried to go with something simple though.

Also Djay, apparently Toby Azzy and Valk all teamed up and made a site. We could check that out too. The banner looks sick

My turn?

1. Dont see why not. Though we should restrict people to non-copyright species. No Qunari or anything like that.

2. I think titles should be granted via your group. Not based on class/rank/species. While species will be a part of the character, conveniently located on the character template, titles should be granted by people within an organization for earning them. Or if other people give them to you.

3. Maybe Magic can be split into classes? Conjuring, Destructive, Healing (perhaps something more along the lines of Human or Biological? So it isnt just restricted to healing as much as effecting the body in more then one way.), Spiritual. Not restricted by classes. It would give RPC's freedom to invest in whatever skills they want. Mix and match. Perhaps the more skilled in magic you are, the more you can branch off into other trees and learn high level spells from more then one tree? Also, we should consider giving them a tree to start off with. And this is the tree they specialize in. I can elaborate if you need it.

4. Already been explained

I say you guys carry through with this forum idea...
