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 could totally run the pawn shop! I have the perfect character in mind, if you'll let me :3

It's all yours! : )

About to post, but i wanted to ask, i think i have an idea on what to do with Alex/Zack for the moment. I figure i could have him just NOW arrive at the meeting only to find that it's already over and apologize for being late due to working late hours at Gamestop, would that be ok by any chance Mystic? I'd post for Noel too BTW.

Sure, you're welcome to do that, if you'd like. : )  Most people have left the meeting by now, but Vanille/Rachel, Aqua/Sophia, and Sora are still there.  Oh, and Mike/Noel as well, obviously.  I know there was a scene back in Gamestop where Aeria/Xion had walked in asking about applications to Zack, so I don't know if you would prefer fuel that scene or just called it square and she's hired.  Feel free to do whichever you prefer and see fit, however.

Accepted!  Sounds like he'll be an awesome addition.  I'm already seeing some ideas brewing for him.

Hey, I don't know what to post now. I'm waiting on Sora for Aqua. I'm also waiting for either Auron, Fran, or Terra to go back in the streets because that's where Roxas is gonna be. (He's currently half passed-out in an alleyway. Don't worry no one beat him up or anything.) And his group home is probably going nuts since he never came home as usual.

So sorry! I wrote something for Zach and Nicole on my last post but I guess it didn't do anything except Tyro. I'll update for them tomorrow!

I was just waiting for Reyn to post and I was going to update again.  I'm trying to give everyone a fair chance at replying before moving on since I know it's really hard to be two sets of posts behind, y'know?  I'll post again today, however, and hopefully keep everyone busy.  I think my biggest challenge is trying to wrap things up into the next day because there's so much going on that night. : P  Also, I could have Riku run into him, if you'd like.

No worries; I think you sort of did something for both of them not too long ago when you interacted with Auron at the hospital anyway. : )

It's alright. You could do whatever you'd like. You are controlling Riku which is a lot, and plus I think it'd be interesting to see Auron, Fran, or Terra interacting with Roxas

Whoops, I just posted as Riku . . . .  It might be a while before the others leave the hospital because they're visiting Cloud, but I'll let you decide.  I can take Riku's section of my post off if you'd prefer it. : )

You're good! I'll just go with that

Hi yeah, I just decided to utterly destroy Vanitas but unfortunately am unsure of who Tiffany is or anything else so if someone could remind me so I can post accordingly that'd be AWESOME!

Aqua approved of Vanitas getting his ass kicked.Funny thing is, I know Lightning said the F word but because of the filter thing on this sight I keep picturing her saying 'firetruck.'Also, in the first page of the rp there's a list of who all the characters are and their names. If you look there you can see who Tiffany is. I'll check for you.Tiffany is RikkuAlso, another thing, I'm going to admit I'm kinda lost with what's going on with everyone. I know Fran, Terra and Auron along with a few others are at the hospital with Cloud, and that he's asking for Zach and Sephiroth but other than that I'm kinda lost... I'm also lost with what Kefka's doing too. Sorry ^^'

Edited by Aqua7KH

Okay, Tiffany is Rikku.

 

I'll have Sera not have left the block and notice her, since she was driving off.

 

Time for a hooker joke :D too bad I can't do yuri, there are so many opportunities it is killing me .

That reminded me of a Machinima video with Final Fantasy Dissidia where Squall/Leon is all like "Cloud and Zackkkk sitting in a treeee f-*-*-*-*-*-*"It's pretty funny. I'll look for a link

Now Lightning's gone and done it! : P  I'm cheering for her, even though she just beat up an adolescent.  Is that bad? : P

 

This may have already been fully resolved already, but yes: Tiffany is Rikku, and after the meeting at Rachel's apartment Tiffany rushed out waving her arms to stop her.

That firetruck filter cracks me up every time I see it, especially when I see people yelling in all caps and the only word lowercase is firetruck. : P  Moving on, hmm, since it's been a while I'm sure it wouldn't hurt for everyone to get a bit of a recap/update of what's going on.  I'll try to give a brief yet concise one below:

 

The first day of school has ended and everyone has gone their separate ways.  The majority of the crew went to Vanille/Rachel's house for the Hearts 4 Souls charity meeting, when Aerith/Iris came bringing Sora and telling them of disturbing events.  A woman named Ultimecia kidnapped Sora and held him hostage in a tower in northern Florida, where he met a young woman named Lumina.  Rikku/Tiffany, growing suspicious, showed Sora a picture of Eclair, which he recognized and thought was her.  Tiffany then flees, racing off after Seraphim to likely share the word.  The meeting ends with everyone heading home, and Sora returning with Sophia/Aqua.

 

On the drive back, Nicole/Fran is driving along and manages to hit Zidane/Zach.  Frantic, she takes him to the hospital and there she meets with Terra/Terrence and Aron/Auron.  During the charity meeting Terrence and Auron had met in the street (I think?) when they were attacked by unearthly wolves.  When Terrence had shot one, however, it transformed into Cloud.  After a crazed fight with these wolves the three manage to escape with their lives, Auron driving a car for the first time in a while.  They are now all at the hospital with Nicole/Fran, and together the three are going to see the mysterious blond that Terra/Terrence managed to shoot.

 

Meanwhile, the younger teens had an interesting meeting at the diner.  Riku/Flint learned that Roxas/Lukas was still being bullied by Vanitas/Maverick, and Roxas and Xion/Aeria exchange some words.  Ultimecia also happens to enter the diner, giving Eclair a warning as well as a cool stare in Roxas's direction, almost in recognition.  Around this time Maverick was cornered in the alleyway by Reno and Rude, but were chased off by Lightning/Elysia because they weren't cops and didn't want to get busted.  After the diner, Aeria/Xion applies to Gamestop, where she meets Zack/Alex the store manager.

 

While all of this is taking place, Kefka/Kievan is being shady, as always, and takes Sid/Balthier to the beach where he found a Magitek Armor suit.  It is a weapon from Final Fantasy VI that had managed to be carried over by the curse.  It seems eerily familiar, and Kievan is already questioning the possibility of magic in terms of science, but he hasn't made the connection.  Now Sid/Balthier and Kefka/Kievan have partnered together to research the piece of equipment and hopefully get it up and running again.  They *seriously* don't know what kind of weapon they have on their hands!

 

Further, a slight bit of romance might be building between Amber/Yuffie and Zidane/Zach.  They've shared some cute conversations and it's building up rather nicely. : )

 

Moving on, Amber was approached by a mysterious young girl with slate-blue hair at the inn asking for a room, but didn't have any money to pay with.  I think that pretty much sums up everything for now.  If I missed something that you know of feel free to add it, or if you have any specific questions give me/us a shout!

Quick note, I hope everyone realizes that Lightning is totally ASSAULTING A MINOR and as a member of the flipping FBI she obviously knows that is SUPER ILLEGAL

 

as sheriff i cannot condone such behavior

True but Vanitas is a total douchebag so I don't think anyone would mind that Lightning kicked his ass.

No Cloud comes without a Tifa! A post will come after she's accepted.

 

Character: Tifa Lockhart 

Original Game: Final Fantasy VII

Destiny Beach name: Krissa Redberg

Appearance: Posted Image

Current occupation: Bar Owner

Destiny Beach backstory and personality: A young woman, self confident, independent, and strong. She loves her job, and likes the fact that she gets to see so many people, and talk to them too. When she isn't tending the bar, she likes to train, and also runs the boxing club at the local high school. Krissa is very satisfied with how her life is going, but at the same time knows that one thing is missing from her happy ending. People tell her that it's a good man, but she tends to laugh those people off. Even since she was a child, she's never had eyes for anyone. She has even been suspicious that she's asexual, but that doesn't seem right. But for now, her passion remains in good drinks and good fights.

Welll shiiiit, here comes the tifa!

Yeah, I figured as much, and you know Vanitas isn't going to keep his big mouth shut.  He's going to waltz right up to the sheriff's station and blab about everything Lightning did to him and how cruel she is. : P

Accepted!  I'm psyched to see that Cloud will have a companion.  I think I may have something in mind for her later as well, but I'll have to see how it works in with the existing plot.

He threatened her daughter.You should be glad she didn't just shoot him.
