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:

Sorry for the double post butWhat is Tiffany/Rikku doing right now? I'd like to see if she and Emmet/Tyro could team up for a bit.

She's currently going with Sid/Balthier to look at something super secret. I can get her free in a couple of posts, if you'd like.

That's alright haha, just looking for a treasure Hunter that Emmet can call over the phone and ask for help from to look for the book that was stolen. I was gonna call Terrance but Tyro doesn't know who Terra was, since he holds no records for KH.

I really want to apologize.  I think everyone's probably waiting on me, and I'm going to be posting very soon.  Midterms and work have been ganging up on me, but I'm hoping to post as soon as I can, most likely Friday.

I really want this to continue...

Aye, and I would very much enjoy continuing this, too. I let it slip away because at the time we'd lost so many players, but now that Shard and Sabre are back we may be able to do something. I think Yuffie is permanently gone, however, and I'm not sure about Riku. I would certainly enjoy continuing, but I am uncertain of what should be done at this point. If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very open to them.

Unfortunately I am again unavailable for RP. My PC is officially fried :/

I don't know about anyone else but I got a PC and I do 99.9% of my postings over my smartphone... Smartphones are just so beautiful...

 

Also Mystic, I think it'd be best for all of us to talk about what to do. I think you could partially reboot this, I mean by like all of us continuing where we left off in the plot but there's gonna be modifications to compensate for lost characters. I for one think we should have a smaller cast of characters especially since there's less players... I feel like when a rp has so much characters it can easily get out of hand in the sense that people fall behind so easily and it's just so much work to post with to much characters it becomes stressful and a chore almost

Im still here. Willing to continue or reboot. Honor bound. Since its partialy my fault this died as well...

Aww, that's a bummer, as I truly loved your characters and the direction that you were taking things. : (  Hopefully you get a PC up and running again soon!

I have posted on my phone in the past, but I try to abstain from it because it is just so darn complicated to get a lengthy post in.

 

That is quite interesting about preferring fewer characters as opposed to many.  I feel that the RPs I've been in that have a larger cast tend to last longer because there is more activity and overall more going on, but I do understand what you're saying about the stress of having so many characters to read through and to post for.  There's more opportunity for plot growth with more characters, but perhaps this is just my opinion.  How does everyone else feel about this matter?  Should we go back to restricting characters, or leave it as a free-for-all?

I'm up for a continuation or reboot

I am perhaps torn right down the middle; would everyone prefer a reboot or continuation?  If a reboot we wouldn't start from the beginning, but rather a nice middle point where things could progress.  I feel that we've honestly lost too many crucial characters to continue as we are and that we should do a reboot, but I could also see us working wonderfully as a smaller-knit group.

 

The bad news is this: I'm getting ready for yet another out-of-state move in about five weeks, and that plus college and work has had me very preoccupied.  I couldn't even imagine dedicating any proper amount of attention to this RP until things have settled down more on my end, so how about we plan to reboot or continue this either in mid-November or December?  Would everyone be okay with this?

 

(Can't let Overworld die, after all : P)

continuation continuation continuation let the crowds roar with excitement i like this plan

I'm for a reboot. I feel like there's too many people missing for a continuation, but maybe we can do both? Certain situations stay intact, but it's still a new story?

 

Also I'm returging to Rp. This is the only one I'll be active in. This and the Steven Universe one.

The only person we lost since we were last active is rikunobody, which I mean, is a shame, but certainly we can continue without him?

 

/just double checked character list

 

EDIT: ALSO just checked my character sheets and omg I put Selena Gomez as Yuffie I totally forgot and am suddenly in love with it again

Okay, so it is a little later than I had anticipated, but I think I am ready to continue Once Upon a Fantasy, if everyone else is?  It looks like Rikunobody may or may not return, so we might not have any characters missing at this point.

 

Also, if new players are reading this and are interested, please feel free to sign up!  I'll happily provide recaps of the story thus far.

 

For those of you who are still interested please respond with a confirmation post or PM me so that I can be sure who's on board.  In a few days I'll post a re-intro to engage the characters and hopefully get things moving again.

 

Moving on, I was wondering what everyone thinks of the pace?  Would you prefer it if the curse was broken sooner, or do you feel that things are fine as-is?  I think it is enjoyable to play as their cursed selves, though if you guys think we should speed things up a little let me know.

 

Lastly, and this is mostly directed toward Shard, but I've finally completed Final Fantasy IX and love it, so expect to see Garnet join Zidane soon. ; )

Holy crap, I forgot I had five characters in this game. I'm in for another crack at this, though I may drop one or two characters.

No problem at all! I'm sure that it will be fine to drop some characters. I'll see about possibly taking them or handing them over to others if their crucial to the story, but if not we can simply omit them.

I wouldn't mind still staying involved.

I'm down! Also the pace is fine

yeppp still in and I agree the pace is quite fine

I'm up, and I like the thing being stuck cursed. It's pretty fun~

Excellent! I'm happy to see that there is still interest from you all. I will try to get an opening post up either tomorrow or Wednesday, so please consider the RP officially reopened starting then. : ) Thanks, guys!

Okay, I wrote up an initial post: http://kh13.com/forum/topic/86738-once-upon-a-fantasy-rp/?p=1914007

 

It isn't much, but I was trying to touch back on previous scenarios and get characters involved again.  I don't think I managed to bring in all characters, however, so if you're stuck on any characters of your own please let me know and I'll try my best to get things going for them again.

 

In some of the paragraphs I was reflecting back to previous discussions and situations, so it may help to skim just the previous page (or the past ten posts) just to get a feel for what is being referred to and where we left off.

I'll post later, I'm not quite sure what I want to even post right now, nor exactly where all my characters are DX 

Welp, I was wrong. I had six characters. Man, I went whole hog.

 

Okay, let's see. The list I remember is:

Lumina/Eclair

Rikku/Tiffany

Balthier/Sid

Snow/Johnny

Sice/Susan

Serah/Clara.

 

Whew. Okay, Susan is on the chopping block. She has had limited impact on the narrative and only interacted with one of Sabre's characters. If Sabre wants her around, I might keep at it, but otherwise, she's out.

Tiffany and Sid are kinda up in the air. I like the characters, but I lost the direction I was sending them down. They were working with Kelfka, right?

Eclair, Johnny, and Clara are safe. Eclair has an interesting roll, and her chaotic nature will provide a lot of personal entertainment. Clara has too many connections to just drop, and will be interesting to explore. And if I'm keeping Clara, I gotta keep Johnny around. Besides, he still needs to even up his win-loss ratio with Tifa.
