Note: This is the sign-up and discussion thread for Once Upon a Fantasy.  The actual RP is located here: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/86738-once-upon-a-fantasy-rp/

We took a short hiatus this summer and will be starting up again with a slightly fresh start.  Events have already taken place, but I'll happily provide a recap for those who would like to join back up again.  During our hiatus we have a lot of the same cast, but have also lost a couple of very special players in like.  If you're interested in joining we'd love to have you!  Please review the rules and post your character sheet.  Thanks!

 

This RP was inspired by Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, and Once Upon a Time.  After Vanitas enacted a curse, all characters--villains and heroes alike--were sent to the real world where they lived new lives, without even a single memory of their past selves.

 

It all started when the heroes were trying to prevent Ultimecia from casting this curse, leading them to break into her castle . . . .

 

“Is this it?” Lightning bent over and examined a scroll tied with a red ribbon on a pedestal in Ultimecia’s tower.  The wind roared around them, blowing the curtains rapidly, the dim gray sunset casting whatever little light existed within the room.  Locke walked over to her, taking the tiny scroll from her hands and examining it.  Eventually he nodded.  “It must be.  Yen Sid told us that it would be here.”

 

“But what do we do with it?” Lightning inquired.  But before Locke could answer, the doors to the tower burst open, and in strode Ultimecia.  The tall woman’s eyes casually swept the room, meeting the two heroes’ gazes unflinchingly.

 

“Well, well,” she said, drawling, “it looks like the savior and the treasure hunter failed their friends after all.  You didn’t expect me already, did you?”

 

Both Lightning and Locke looked at each other.  The scroll remained in Locke’s fist, but there was no use hiding it: Ultimecia already knew it was there.  The sorceress sent Lightning flying into a wall with an aerial spell as she proceeded on to the poor thief.  “Now then, I will give you options.” She looked mercilessly into his eyes, her cold ones bearing down into his.  “Either you can give me the scroll without a fight, or I could kill that one first”--she smiled ruefully--”whichever calls out to you most.”

 

“Think again, lady!”

 

Locke let out a rattled breath of relief, looking over Ultimecia’s shoulder.  She whipped around to see Ventus, grinning widely, the mini scroll clenched in his fist.  The woman rose, turning to Ventus stonily.  “Be careful with that, boy.  You’re meddling in very dark magic that you don’t know how to control.”

 

“Well, lucky for you”--the boy’s grin widened, and for a moment his eyes flickered golden--”I actually do know how to use this dark magic.  And unlike these dufuses, I’m not afraid to use it.”

 

Suddenly everyone’s heart sank within the room.  Lightning slowly rose, groaning as she extended a hand toward their ally.  “Ven--”

 

The boy laughed, a merciless cold laugh that sent chills down her spine.  “Guess what, Light?  I’m not Ven.  I  never was.  It was all too easy to use you guys to get me into this place, and now, now I have what I want.”  He tore off the red ribbon and unrolled the scroll, his eyes skimming it longingly.  “Now I finally get to go home.”

 

“Not how you think!” Ultimecia shouted.  “It’s darker than you could even imagine.  It will take you to that world, yes, but you will lose everything to do it.”

 

Again the boy smiled, shaking his head.  “That’s the point: I don’t have anything to lose.”

 

With that, he unrolled the scroll and blew on it, sending its words off the page and into the room.  A cloud of smoke infiltrated the air, and for a moment all was perfectly still.

 

But only for a brief moment, before chaos struck.  The winds picked up, almost to the point that it caused the Ven-look-alike to lose his balance.  It threw Locke off his feet and knocked Lightning back into the wall, now unconscious.

 

“What’s happening?!”  Locke demanded, glaring from the boy to Ultimecia.  The sorceress clutched her chest, eyes downcast and breathing hard.

 

“Everything . . . will be stripped of us.  Our homes, our memories.  Everything that matters.”

 

Before another word could be uttered, a clap of thunder roared, and this is where you are, and where you’ve been for as long as you can remember:

 

Destiny Beach.

 

You live in a city located alongside the coast of Florida.  You’ve been here for as long as you can remember, and you cannot remember a thing beforehand.  However, you don’t even notice that you don’t remember, nor do you care.  Everything is how it’s always been, and magic is nothing more than a fantasy.  Some of you are now doctors, shopkeepers, secretaries, teachers, and some of you still can’t find your place in the world.  Everything stayed this way for a time, until the boy who could unlock the secret--and the spell--arrives on Destiny Beach.

 

For a few rules:

 

1.) No Godmodding (this includes controlling or killing another person's character)

2.) No speedhacking (don't land blows on another person's character until they respond, et cetera)

3.) Follow the RP rules and guidelines stickied to this forum

4.) No duplicate characters (meaning two people can’t be Sora, et cetera)

5.) Pairings and romance are fine, but no yaoi or yuri, please

6.) Keep everything PG-13.  I can understand some swearing and violence every now and again, but no explicit scenes, gore, sexual themes, or language that needs this @#$%! done to it. : P

7.) Please be sure that your posts contain a minimum of four lines.  I won’t bite anyone if they do it once in a while, but short posts are difficult to work with and it means more work for the other players communicating with that player.

 

Now, for the characters: you may choose up to three Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts characters, provided that they play a significant role in the series (like, well, don’t choose the unnamed bartender) and that they aren’t already taken.  As character roles fill I will be listing them in this main thread here, so please be sure to refer to it before creating any character sheets. There will be some special roles for certain characters that I will outline and guide through the RP (Sora, Vanitas, Lightning, Ventus, Locke, and Ultimecia, to name a few), but beyond that it’s pretty free reign.  Please fill out the character sheet below:

Quick question; how are hearts handled in this RP? And Nobodies? Are there like spiritual hearts that can be removed like in the show? If so, it could be interesting because the Nobodies could be missing this heart. I had an idea where Roxas doesn't have his because Sora has it. Which would be even more interesting because if someone were to take Sora's heart from his chest to kill him, Roxas and maybe Xion would die. Probably not Ventus since he has his own heart. Or, if someone stole Sora's heart to manipulate him like how

Cora did with Aurora

did in the show, Roxas and Xion could be under the control and manipulation as well. Or maybe only Roxas since he is Sora's actual Nobody.

That is something I haven't thought about in too great of detail yet, but it's a very good question.  I really like your suggestion, so perhaps we should go with that!

 

Hey there, sorry about not posting sooner. Is there a situation going on right now that can let me jump into the story?

No worries.  I'm sure that everyone has been busy with the holiday as well as finals and exams for the end of the school year.  Shard pretty much covered all of the good entry points, so feel free to go with any one of those.  One thought I had is that the charity group could've ordered a pizza to be delivered at Rachel's apartment (and he's a member of the charity group anyway, right?) for Ramza to deliver, and Yeul could possibly be heading to the diner or even encounter Kefka over at Balthier's place causing trouble.

 

Mystic, you're moving today, right?GOODLUCK!

Good luck Mystic! *is late*

Oh, no, I wish I was moving (very much so at that!), but rather my spouse and I went on vacation to Mount Rushmore.  Ah, it was lovely.  Thank you very much for the well wishes anyway, though! : )  I'll take them and save them for the actual move in the near future. : P

 

On another note: Rikunobody, Kievan needs Sid! : P  Take your time, though, but I thought perhaps you had missed that post.

Well leave my best wishes saved for when you move as well ;)

Congratulations!  You just won a piece of fudge that I haven't yet made but am planning to. : P  You're right on there, but I'm not going to reveal their occupation just yet.  I want to leave everyone in suspense and wonder for a minute. : P

I think they're all the Turks. Reno Rude and Elena

Ooh, good guesses, and I can see where you were going with that!  It would've made a lot of sense if it were Elena since the other Turks were present.

Everyone must break their diet for fudge, especially if it contains chocolate. : P

Ok, right now i am officially free and iam determined not to be deterred in my current effort to post in this RP. Any where i can jump in? I swear this time i will post ASAP.

After some thoughts I finally made Once Upon A Triforce, and you might like the first post on the topic.

Okay, um, that's great and all, but did you have to make the title so uncannily similar to mine, at the exact same time, AND advertise it here in my RP? I'm sorry, but I'm a little offended, especially since you didn't even mention it or ask beforehand.

No the show had Once Upon A Time, and I brought up the idea before just never made it.

Yes, I understand that the show was called Once Upon a Time, but I would've thought since we're running an RP with the same concept at the exact same time that you would've tried to make it different. You didn't even ask me what I thought about running it at the same time, but what gets me most is that you come and advertise it here. But whatever; I don't really want to keep talking about it. I just wish this was done differently.

I'm sorry, I meant to reply to this earlier but I accidentally spaced it.  How about Zack appears in the Gamestop, working long hours because the shop is understaffed, when Zidane/Zachary and Xion/Aeria walk in?  As for Noel, perhaps he could be heading to the diner or Vanille/Rachel's house for the charity?

Amber(Yuffie)xZach(Zidane) (He pretty much lives with her. And personalities bounce off each other well.)

 

Okay, this xDI agree with this. It was something playing around in my head as well, but it wasn't something I wanted to enforce due to trying not to make anyone feel awkward.Plus Garnet would murder him.But eh, you never know.

Only reason it's not in the other list is because they haven't met each other in game)And there we go. Disclaimer: Do not feel obligated to act on any of the ships mentioned above, they're just there for ideas and fun. Forcing a ship can lead to dire circumstances, which can easily ruin the fun for not only the two shippers, but many other participants getting tired of two characters pursuing fruitless love that just doesn't seem real.

It's.... Beautiful.I approve!

We can do it if you want, it sounded good to me for a reason. Besides, unless we get more characters from our respective games, we have to intership for it to be any fun at all!

Ooh, Aerith and Zack must happen!  That would be terrific, though unfortunately right now Aerith/Iris is pretty much an NPC unless someone decides to take her on later.  Actually, I've kind of thought about swapping Kefka/Kievan for either Aerith or Yuna.  I don't know why, I'm just not feeling it for him anymore.

 

All-in-all, great list, Carolina.  I'll be curious to see what everyone chooses to do!  Also, yeah, I can see Allen/Tidus and Rachel/Vanille being a possibility just because their personalities are similar in a way.  Sometimes I wonder about Skylar/Locke and Elysia/Lightning just because they're so opposite, but perhaps not.  I know someone that I know personally was considering joining up with Celes, which would be awesome to have another character from that game!

True. Plus we don't really know from what point Zidane was taken from his game.(But at the same time, I don't really want to push it. If it happens naturally, sure.)

Out of curiosity, do you guys think that we should continue putting our characters' original names at the top of our posts, or are most people good with who's who?  Personally I wouldn't mind if we left it for those who join mid RP, but I wonder what everyone else thinks.

 

On another note, wow, have any of you seen the season finale to S4 of Once Upon a Time?

Edited by Mystics Apprentice

Just in general, I like the style of it. I'll keep doing it even if it is no longer required

I think we should leave it up there, because I do occasionally forget (I've got it mostly down, though)And YES I HAVE SEEN IT AND I AM GOING TO DIE.

Yeah, I'm of a similar mindset of you guys.  We should probably keep doing it for now, or at least until we're 3/4s of the way through with the RP.  Then I hardly see the need for it. : P

 

As for that ending, oh, gosh, I know what you mean!  I got a big kick of what they did with

Regina and Rumple in that alternate reality.

: P  And that ending?  Poor, poor specific-person-who-had-the-worst-fate-ever.  I'm glad it happened to her rather than the alternate, though, as that would've been repetitive if

Regina went dark all over again.

 

Hi, Saber Lily here.

 

I'm currently absorbed by the game Life is Strange and all my RPN has lacked.

 

I'm sorry ;-; but it's so good....
