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:

Yayy!!Also, quick comment about Frans comments of beauty to other characters so far:Fran finds beauty in everyone, it's part of who she is. She's lived long enough to know that everyone is beautiful.

I demand TerraxAqua and RoxasxXion to be cannon in this.

Sorry, not sorry?  Oh, that sounds so much like me on a regular basis. : P  But seriously, that pairing will be cute, and I look forward to watching it unfold.

Out of curiosity, how old is Fran in the series?

Hey, if you all are okay with it, I would fully support these pairings as well, especially TerraxAqua. : D  They are my favorite in the KH series and I see so much potential for it.

 

So far, guys, I'd say that we're off to a terrific start. : )  Any comments, questions, suggestions for the near or far future of the RP?

 

Out of curiosity, how old is Fran in the series?

Welp, it is never said, it's at LEAST over 50, as she Fran left her home village 50 years before the First game started. Vierra live... a VERY long time. So 50 is probably about 20 something in human years.When Vaan asked how old she was, everyone shunned him to the back of the group.

Ah, I see.  So she's a Vierra . . . that makes sense now that I think about it.  I intend to play all of the Final Fantasy games one day, but as of now I've yet to play very much of XII.  I had a hard time getting past the opening hours.  Would you say that you liked IX or XII better?  Or, heck, which Final Fantasy games are your favorite?  I'm very interested to hear this. : )

Great I just shot Cloud

Ah, what regret to live with!  And what would dear Aqua say? : P

Ah! I'm glad you asked.Final Fantasy IX is, by far, my favorite Final Fantasy game. I love the story, probably the best FF game in terms of Character Development. Vivi is my favorite character, haha!Final Fantasy XIII... I like it, and I don't know why. I enjoyed playing it and almost cried at the ending (I really don't know why though) XIII-2... Meh, it was okay. Lightning Returns was pretty good too, but it's not like the others in the series. It's my favorite out of the three.Final Fantasy X is good, not as bad as people like to say it is. X-2, however... that depends on what you like, haha.Final Fantasy VI is pretty great. If I was to be asked what game I think defines Final Fantasy, I'd refer them to this one.Final Fantasy VII is another great one. I think a lot of people like it for good reasons, but I feel like the title 'Best FF Game' should go to IX.Final Fantasy XII... it's pretty fun. Story is... em... Well, It's not bad, there's enough to keep you going, but it feels like it ended too quickly. It gets pretty good near the end. Gameplay is one of the best in the series, love hunting.Final Fantasy XIV... Wish I could play it xD

Excellent choices here!  A good number of these are my favorites as well, especially VI and VII.  I loved X as well, though I really could *not* stand X-2.  To each their own, but, eh . . . yeah.  Depends on what you like for sure, and even then . . . !  : P

 

My little sister loves IX, though I've yet to play it myself beyond the opening.  I really want to at some point, however.  So far I've played a little bit of I, III, IX, and XII (I need to go back to these), over half of X-2 before being unable to take anymore punishment, and completed IV, VI, VII, X, XIII, and XIII-2.  My spouse completed Lightning Returns so I got to watch a good majority of it, but really haven't played much of it myself.

 

But yeah, good choices all-in-all, and it's awesome to see that you also are such a fan of Final Fantasy games in general.  They're easily my favorite series, perhaps before Kingdom Hearts, and not enough people that I encounter appreciate the series as much as it deserves. ; )

I feel like we're going to get along fantastically!I hope one day you're able to give IX a good play! It's really one of the games I enjoy the most. The beginning is meh... but that's mostly because I've played through it so many times xD It's definitely not a bad beginning at all, I'd say one of FF's better beginnings.

It seems like we already are getting along terrifically, if I do say so myself. : )

 

I'll have to download it on the PSN next.  I just bought V yesterday so, yeah . . . best get started and play that first. : P  As for the beginning of IX, I actually didn't think it was bad at all.  I mean, sure it was a little slow, but that is to be expected in almost any RPG, especially the good ones that prolong an interesting story to the very end.

I'm totally lost now. I spent so mu ch time trying to sort other rp things out for another site I lost track of the story ;-;

 

Is Brute and Reno still harassing Vanitas? And who's at Gamestop?

 

And finally, Seven is still with Hearts 4 Souls last I checked. Unless people moved after Sora appeared.

No problem.  I'll see if I can give a quick recap:

 

Ultimecia went to the diner to pay a visit to Eclair/Lumina and had great interest in Lukas/Roxas before storming out.  Currently Lukas and Flint/Riku are still in the diner talking amongst themselves.  Zidane/Zach walked Aeria to the Gamestop, before leaving her there to meet the store manager Alex/Zack Fair.  Zidane/Zach is now in the hotel speaking with Amber/Yuffie.

 

Vanitas/Maverick is still surrounded by Reno and Rude, the two "cops."  Reno just announced himself an officer and flashed an ID at Vanitas, so there is a chance that it could be real.  They're inquiring about Ventus and claim that he's going to destroy their happiness.  Furthermore, Rude noticed something behind them (ie Lightning/Elysia), but he's not sure who or what it is.

 

Terrence/Terra and Aron/Auron were in the street when suddenly they were attacked by abnormal wolves.  Terrence shot one, which turned into Cloud.  They're still in the street, only a couple of blocks from Reno, Rude, Maverick, and Elysia.

 

Kievan/Kefka and Sid/Balthier just arrived on the beach and discovered a Magitek Armor suit from Final Fantasy VI, somehow transported to this world with the curse.

 

Pretty much everyone else is at Rachel's apartment for the charity gathering.  The founder of Hearts 4 Souls, Iris/Aerith, gave a long speech and introduced the main problem at hand: a comatose kid named Trent Malone (Ventus) missing from the group home, and introduced a boy new to Destiny Beach named Sora.  Sora claims to have escaped from a witch's tower and there he met Lumina and Ultimecia.  He further proceeded to say that Maverick Vane and Trent Malone are being hunted by Ultimecia as well.  Iris/Aerith is wanting to keep the case quiet from the police and FBI for the safety of the boy, asking if the group could take turns sharing their homes with Sora until the mess got straightened out.

 

Terrence/Terra and Aron/Auron were in the street when suddenly they were attacked by abnormal wolves.  Terrence shot one, which turned into Cloud.  They're still in the street, only a couple of blocks from Reno, Rude, Maverick, and Elysia.

 

 

 

Dont forget that the wolves completely ignored Terrence, and ran straight to ARon, they want his ass xD

I get pretty lost myself sometimes. It's kinda hard to keep up in the posts sometimes especially when it comes to characters what my characters isn't interacting with at the time.

Nah, they're just incredibly intelligent wolves. Woah. That guy has a gun. He can shoot us. That guy doesn't. He can't shoot us. Let's go for him!

Actually, the reason the wolves went after Aron and not Terrence was mostly because I thought Terrence was in the car at the time and Aron was outside of it.  Now they're just going after whatever they can wrap their claws and fangs around, including windshield wipers. : P  I like the idea of intelligent wolves, however!

I'm trying to decide who Sora should stay with first, and was thinking to do a random drawing on who he should stay with based on the volunteers.  Does everyone favor this, or should I choose based on what seems like a good fit?

Edited by Mystics Apprentice

I think you should choose whoever you believe is a good fit honestly. It is your RP after all, plus i don't think anyone would mind.
