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:

I'm still interested but my lack of internet is annoying... if anyone wants to control my characters until I get back, that's cool

I sent you a PM about this, actually. : )  I'd happily hold your characters for you, if you'd like.  I'll just kind of, I don't know, pretend they're doing something spiffy in the background while they wait for your return.  That, or feel free to post when/if you get the chance here and there, so long as you don't mind having a bit to catch up on in between.

Still in. I...might be able to fill in for someone, but it depends on the character. There are a couple of characters I don't think I can handle.

I'm still in! Considering it was a long hiatus and a few players might be gone, how about doing a re-boot? It'll be a fresh start, but do whatever you'd like.

I'm super in!

 

Quick note though, I know that Oblivion is and will be gone for at least a few more months. I think everyone else (aside from Shard obviously) is still around, so we shouldn't have too much problem.

Same as this. I'm only on right now because I'm down my friends house.

Course im still interested, can't leave Auron xD

Excellent!  Everyone would greatly miss their favorite teacher and confidant otherwise. ; )

I'm very glad to hear it!  The only character that really needs to be filled right now would be Vanitas/Maverick since he plays such a huge role in the plot.  Otherwise, I think I might have a plan for the characters that Shard and Oblivion were playing.

Yay!  I was hoping you'd still be interested, Aqua.  The reboot is not a bad idea, for sure, though I'm thinking to reboot in the sense that a week has passed since all of the major events and now we're working with the aftermath.  I had the majority of the plot written down before I'd opened the RP, and we're probably about a quarter of the way through.  I'd *love* to actually take an RP to its finish, and by restarting entirely I fear that we'd just be repeating a lot of stuff and maybe even lose interest in continuing.  I hope that you don't mind too much?  Did you want to change out your characters, or are you pretty happy with Roxas and Aqua for now?

 

I'm in.

Sounds great.  Glad to have you aboard for this wild ride called an RP. : P

I figured this may be the case.  I'm sorry to hear of that, Oblivion.  How about this: I'll either try to find temporary players for your characters until you return, or I can make your characters busy doing something which is why they're not actively in the plot?  The only character that will have to be actively doing something is Vanitas, but other than that I can set Allen up in a tournament and Riku could be, hmm, grounded? : P

 

Moving on, I think I'll go ahead and reopen sign-ups, so anyone who would like additional and/or new characters feel free to do that. : )  Also!  Any new players are more than welcome.  Just review the rules and fill out a character sheet. : )

I'm good with my trio of Lightning, Xion, and Seven. Plus the FBI Field office.

I'm happy with Aqua and Roxas

(I really want to do that sleepover with Sora and Aqua. Aww that'd be so cute.)

Who's left then? 

 

I can probably take two which are free, along with Hugh ack-I mean Auron.

Let's see . . . . it'd be awesome if someone could temporarily fill Vanitas/Maverick's role until Oblivion returns, and then there's Tidus, Riku, Fran, and Zidane who can be temporarily filled. Those aren't necessary, however, as I can easily make those characters busy until Oblivion and Shard return. Otherwise, the rest of the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts crews are still available (besides the ones that are taken on the front page by us), so if you want to take on a few more roles to add some characters feel free to. : ) But only if you feel that you can handle more. I don't want anyone feeling overburdened by trying to take on more than they can handle.

Whatever we do, please do not skip the sleepover. I've been waiting for that for a while LOL.

Also once this gets back up I'm so stoked for some more of that VanitasxXionxRoxas conflict. It's like one of those creaking amazing soap operas/novellas and you're just dying to like see what's coming next.

Well seeing as Zidane gets his money from working for people around town, shouldn't be too hard to get him busy. I'll see about posting sometime soon to establish his situation. Sane with Fran

Okay, one quick note: I'm thinking to set the restart date to Tuesday, Aug 25th.  That'll give anyone who's interested time to join in, as well as to collect ourselves to post.  I'll try to put together a recap of sorts, as well as the situation's current standing.  I'm so excited to see this off again!  Thanks so much for making it possible, guys. : )

Most definitely not; that will be awesome to see.  Also, yes!  I really enjoyed watching the Xion, Roxas, and Vanitas conflict as well, and I'm definitely looking forward to watching that unfold.  Here's hoping that we can find a temporary player for both Vanitas and Riku, mostly because I don't think that I myself could do Vanitas justice (and I've got too many additional characters for the plot).

Sure thing, but don't worry if you're unable to do so, okay?  You can either let me know what you'd like them to do and I'll see about giving them a quick pardon from the scene, or I'll try to find a good fit for them, if you'd like.  I'm easy, of course, so whatever you'd like to do is cool with me. : )

Auron's likely to be busy as well, these damn students's exams are a bitch to grade! specially some students, specially ones with depression (Like Xion xD).

Roxas is easy. Just give him a C+

IF roxas wants a C+ hes gonna have to earn it! Auron doesn't give easy grades! xD

I'm interested in coming back for the RP's return on Hiatus! : )

Glad to have you onboard, Reyn. : )  Hope you've been doing well; I think I owe you a PM *again*.  I'm so terrible about keeping up with messages. : (

So after a nearly two-month hiatus I'm pleased to see that we're rolling once more.  Thank you for your patience, everyone, and I'm eager to RP with all of you again!

 

After a bit of deliberation I decided to go ahead and pick up where we left off. It seemed that there were too many important incidents going on to to skip things entirely.  I did, however, fast-forward and conclude a few scenarios, including Auron depositing Cloud at the hospital and the scenes of the Hearts 4 Souls meeting.  I do have a few things for us to consider, however.

 

The first thing is directed toward Reyn and Sabre Lily.  Since the Gamestop scene wasn't concluded, would you two like Aeria/Xion to work at Gamestop?  I'm thinking it'll make the store a bit of an interesting place with Zack, Locke, and Xion working there, plus it'd be a great location for Vanitas to stalk her.

 

Second, I went ahead and picked up Vanitas/Maverick's role temporarily since he's major to the plot, but I'll happily give him back to Oblivion when he returns, along with anyone else who would like him.  I feel that I'm not going to do Vanitas justice myself, really, so I'd more than gladly pass him along.  Sora's also available if anyone would like him, along with Cloud.  Aerith might be hard to pass along since she's sort of linear and a--dare I say it--plot device, but I'd be willing to work with it if anyone wants her.

 

Finally, I'm uncertain what I should do with Flint/Riku, Allen/Tidus, Zach/Zidane, and Nicole/Fran.  I have some ideas, however: Allen could be busy preparing for a soccer tournament, while I temporarily pick up Riku (or someone else does, since I feel bad if Lukas' best friend just disappears).  Nicole could be searching and investigating the Ultimecia case, while Zach could have been wounded from the wolves and is recovering in the hospital.  However, I remember that Yuffie and Shard were discussing a pairing between Yuffie and Zidane, and so I wonder if you two would prefer it if someone picked up Zach temporarily?  I'll leave it up to you guys to decide, though personally I don't know if I could do Zidane justice, especially since I haven't played IX to completion.

I'm sorry, I'm on mobile so I didn't know you posted here until after I finished my post in the rp :/

Hey, no worries.  It's pretty easy to do, honestly. ; )  Does this mean that I no longer have to stash away Zach and Nicole for a time? *gets excited*

 

But seriously, don't sweat it if you're unable to post and need to drop out either for now or indefinitely.  I definitely don't want to pressure you to stay.  If you'd like, however, I can keep things slower than they had been previously, perhaps even limiting myself to posting as little as once a week if that would help you.  Just let me know how I can work with ya!

SO Aron is gonna have to deal with cloud, oooooooooooohhhh boy, time to become a father figure...AGAIN!
