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:

Most definitely!  I'm quite excited to see this "Dark Swan" in action.  I'm also really wondering what's going to happen with Rumple after all that took place.

Quick question: Scrap, is Auron now out on the street?  Vanille is on the phone with Balthier at the moment, though I'm wondering if she should spot Auron and wave him down since her car broke down.  Does he feel like taking care of another needy soul? : P

Guys I dunno when I can reply, but it will definitely be in this week. It's a busy week for me. Especially tomorrow. But Thursday is my most likely day to reply.

No problem.  Thanks for letting us know.  It seems a lot of us have been pretty busy as of late, myself included.  The college/school life. ; )  Please take your time in responding!

I'm just exhausted tbh and not thinking right for some rp's :/

 

I'll post tomorrow, hopefully.

~*random riku request*~

So, I was wondering how y'all came up with names for your characters? I used some likenesses, some old names, and random connections in my brain to come up with my characters' names. What did you use?

I just I dunno thought up names that I figured fit the character.

Tomorrow! Hipefully. I'm sorry for putting it off for so long, I keep forgetting.

I was a bit more boring. : P  Like Aqua, I just chose names that suited the characters without resembling any attribute to them.  I really liked how you made some reference to their former selves, however; it was very clever.  It's kind of how the show did it, too.

No worries.  I may go ahead and post to get a few events rolling, but I'll try not to post again until you do.  Take your time. : )

Season 5 is looking pretty good! I'm a little confused with DS, but I'm looking forward to it unfolding. No spoilers though :3

I did these names differently from most due to the modern setting.Tina and Terrence- These were similar to their original name, TerraAmber- A backlog pretty and popular girl name that I had.Krissa- In my mind, the name Krissa just matches Tifa's looks. Completely illogical, but it is how I see it.

Out of curiosity, did you give FF6 Terra the name Tina because it was her original name in Japanese?  At first I thought that was why you'd done it, but now I'm wondering if it was coincidental.

Krissa- In my mind, the name Krissa just matches Tifa's looks. Completely illogical, but it is how I see it.

Oh, trust me. While I say I have a system, it is partly based on illogical jumps and what ever random thoughts I'm having at the time.

Elysia - Only thing left in my mind, since you stole Eclair, her real name lol. I shoulda named her Claire but Eclaire sounds much more fitting.

 

Aeria - I made up a weird name.

 

Seraphim - Close to Seven

 

FBI Agents - I was so unoriginal. I used their real names, mostly.

 

 

Edit:

 

Also, uh, Maverick just made the worst mistake of his life.

What, by getting ready to kill Lukas, or breaking Elysia's window? : P

Breaking Elysia's window.

 

Xion's going Jackie Chan on his ass.

Breaking Elysia's window.

 

Xion's going Jackie Chan on his ass.

He just loves getting in trouble. : P  It's his favorite pasttime.

 

(On another note, Oblivion!  I need you back! : P  Maverick needs you!  I can't do him justice.)

If Lightning had her magic, justice would come on swift wings.

Zidane is Zach because I wanted him to have the same initials. Z.T. and Z.T.

 

Fran is Nicole because I wanted her to seem like a normal suburban woman, compared to her abnormal woodland self

Roxas was originally going to be Skylar before I realized Mystic took that name already againsosorry and I chose that name because of Sky since that's what Sora's name means. I like Lukas far more better though. Roxas just looks like a Lukas. I got the name Carmine from the movie American Hustle, and I just thought the name really had a nice ring to it. Lukas Carmine.

 

Sophia for Aqua, I wanted to pick a name that fits her soft side, her tender motherly loving side. Because Aqua doesn't really remember her full fighting potential and skill, I figured as a person she would be much more caring especially to the kids in the town. (Don't get me wrong, if you mess with her she will rock you.) Sophia just really fitted that aspect of her for me. Also, it's a Greek name I believe, and I love Greek names. Plus, I've had some personal encounters with two females named Sophia, so the name has an even deeper meaning for me. Minuto I believe I either made up, or again saw in a show. Completely forgot where I got it from.

 

Also, I got a really weird idea where Cloud like runs away or something from the hospital and Roxas feels bad for him so he hides Cloud somewhere and talk to him. And then Cloud and Tifa becomes Roxas' mentors due to Vanitas bullying him (with Cloud being more like a brotherly figure) and then Tifa could be like that awesome sister who teaches Roxas how to kick ass. Cloud and Tifa could meet that way too.

 

Also, Roxas is currently sitting outside Tyro's pawnshop waiting for him to come back, if anyone wanted to talk to him. I'm gonna wait for Terrance's reply to Aqua before I post.

The moment where Xion has more luck facing Vanitas than Roxas does...

No problem at all.  It's quite the coincidence that we both aimed for the name originally.  It's a great name, one that I've used for an original character that, interestingly enough, is very similar to Sora.  I like how you derived both names, by the way.  That's very cool to receive inspiration from people in real life. : )

 

That's a pretty neat idea that you have for Cloud, Roxas, and Tifa.  Unfortunately, though, I'm not sure about another break-out from the hospital.  Zidane had just run away from the hospital himself, and I fear what would happen if too many people break loose, y'know?  Still, though, it would be great if they met, and perhaps we can keep the part where Cloud and Tifa are Roxas's mentors.  Maybe Cloud could soon be released and have no where to go and Roxas helps him out?

 

Also, I'm not sure if people noticed that the interior of Tyro's pawn shop has been completely ransacked.  The mysterious lavender-haired man currently at the Narshe B&B really did a number on it when he was searching for something.  I wonder if that would've risen Roxas's alarm, or if he would've been encouraged to nab the necklace and leave the money for Tyro.

 

Concerning who could meet Roxas, hmm . . . .  Maybe Vanitas could swing by; that would make things interesting. : P  I can't post so soon, however, or at least not until Shard posts.

Mystics.

 

Vantias isn't swinging by.

 

When I said Vantias firetrucked up majorly, I damn well meant it.

 

And I haven't had that much fun writing a post like that in a long, long time.
