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:

Hmm, what would the downside be?  I love the idea of the savior being Link and Zelda's daughter; how very clever!

 

Hmm, he could run into Vanitas, perhaps, or head to the diner.  It seems a lot of people are congregating there, and then he'd discover Kievan didn't go there as he said he would and perhaps that would give Aron reasons to doubt Kievan's intentions.

Half the Nintendo characters aren't human.

 

Oh, no worries.  I'm only sorry that the RP is so fast-paced at the moment, because I know it's hard to keep up.  I'm guessing it's going to slow down a lot once all the characters are acclimated.  So, I have a few thoughts for you on how to jump in: For Zack, what would you think of him being the manager of the Gamestop that Locke works for?  It looks like two other characters are going to try to work there--as well as Xion possibly heading over there with Zidane--so I think he would receive *a lot* of attention if he worked at Gamestop as opposed to Target.  The choice is yours, of course, but if you do that it looks like he'll be easier to integrate. Regarding Noel, maybe he could head over to the diner, or possibly meet with the charity meeting at Vanille's apartment.  Not much has happened yet--even if there are a lot of posts--so no worries there.  In sum, a lot of people are meeting at the diner, others are going to the charity, Terra is going on patrol, Kefka's meeting with Balthier, and Auron is outside the school.  Vanitas is causing trouble in the street, but beyond that it's pretty much it. I hope that helps some!  I know I owe you a PM as well, which I'll get to very soon.  I'm off to do some stuff now, but I'll try to do it later this evening, if not tomorrow morning.

 Got it, i'll try to post ASAP then. I'll have Zack be the manager of Gamestop as well then. : D

Do you have a idea of how to put the human Nintendo characters in the idea instead of the animal or other species that aren't human? No offense to everyone.

Well you could always give the animal characters a human appearance. I did that in my idea.

OUAT did that as well, with characters like Gus-Gus.

I mean human human like Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Link, Zelda, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Shulk, Fiora, Ike, Marth, Robin, Wii Fit Trainer, Ness, Lucina, Pit, Palutena, Dark Pit.

There's plenty of people! There's also characters from Bayonetta, and you might be able to include any characters on a Nintendo console like The World Ends with you. There's also characters like the Pokemon Trainers and whatnot.

I'm only allowing Nintendo characters from the first, and second party.

Then Pokemon Trainers and whatnot. I think there's probably a list of all the human Nintendo characters somewhere on the internet

I'm like 100% LOL Or at least 99.9% Sometimes it's annoying to post of the phone because it may take a while especially since I put a lot of thought into my posts, and what makes it worse is when people posted while you were typing and then you have to go and change it omg

Sorry, Sabre Lily!  I, like Shard here, am pretty excited to get the RP rolling as well and pretty actively post.  I'll try to limit my own to once a day, however.

Dang, you guys are good!  I don't think I could even stand to write such a long message from my phone. : P  I've written small stuff, sure, but RP posts?  You guys have patience and serious dedication, so kudos there.

I don't mind if it's more just try to not get carried away. As you can tell from my post I needed to quote and fix like three different posts, none short at all. It's just, a request to ot get too carried away.

Maybe we should have a posting order or something to make it easier for our mobile users?

Omg Oblivion

We'll get through the struggle together.

 

And thanks Mystic. ^^' You get used to it after a while but it's still pretty tough.

 

And as with what Shard just asked, I don't really care if there's a posting order or something. The only thing that might be difficult with the order depends on who is interacting with who.

Ah, sorry.  I am also long-winded and tend to write lengthy posts for my characters (and on top of it I have three, so . . . yeah).  I'll try to slow down a little.  This RPing gets tough, because you want to go at a pace where everyone can keep up, but want to keep it active enough so that it continues to stay lively, y'know?  It's all about a balance, I suppose.

I think a posting order could probably get complicated, especially if, as Aqua pointed out, the characters aren't interacting with each other and messes up the sequence of things.  I think we just need to pace ourselves a bit better, myself especially, and try to give everyone a fair chance at responding before posting (it gets tough when there's so much to say and do, I know).  Anyhow, let's try it and see what happens.  If problems still arise maybe we can work out something different.

I'm loving this RP so far, especially the Aeria/Lukas conflict. I can't for it to get really rolling!(I'm waiting for Tina to be updated before I respond, sorry everyone!!)

sorry have a lot on my plate! I'll have a post up just as soon as I do the one I'm working on now.

Take your time, there isn't any rush. I'm sorry if I made it seem otherwise! Life comes first.

Awesome! I'm glad that you're enjoying it so much thus far. I'm really having fun with it as well, and we really have an awesome crew of players here. I'm just waiting for all the characters to get acquainted and for everyone to get the chance to post before introducing the first conflict, but it will happen soon.

sorry have a lot on my plate! I'll have a post up just as soon as I do the one I'm working on now.

Take your time, Carolina (or do you still prefer Yuffie?). I completely understand!
