-----NEWS ALERT-----

I am at this moment working on the details for my upcoming RP. It's up to you guys if you want to join once it is done, This idea has been going through my head for awhile so I want to get the details down while I still remember most of it.

When it's done, the OOC will appear and we'll see what happens from there.

@Zekai
Oh yeah. Isn't this your magic RP of sorts...? What even is this RP about? If it's just a magic RP, we already have TSU. If it's a fantasy RP on the other hand...
That reminds me of an old idea I had. This fantasy story or even a collection of fantasy stories that I wanted to do. Not sure if I should pick that up again and make a story of it to put up on FictionPress.

@TRXD

It does have magic in it but done in a special way and there is fantasy in it so I guess you can call it a magical fantasy RP. Once I finish with getting everything done, I'll post what it's about.

Migrating from TSU OOC

@TRXD

then answer my question: what can be my Rome? The path doesn't matter once I have my Rome, I can then create billions of possibilities and then choose which to apply to any given point.

I need to have my Rome so I can determine her past that would drive her towards that rome.
I need to be able to answer why

Why did the chicken cross the road?
Why did Kiara choose to be a nurse apprentice?
To get to the other side?
To save someone?
To prevent something?




@S1

And in AtWaG I have a micro goal: Grima
ACO is my primary.

But its still something that permits me to be creative on how I want to get there.
Banished library influenced how i would go about it.
I was waiting for six to remember the search for Morgan because I knew that Robin made an impression on Six and so I could predict like the weather that it would happen.
But like the weather, its not 100% until it happens.
So I'm waiting to see if my prediction comes true.
Same goes for Renamon and Nera. They were there. They should recognize the name Grima.
I'm GAMBLING on things to happen and I'm trying to subtlety increase my odds by planting things.

Thats how I work. I predict based on what is happening and what I'm working towards to see what road to rome im going down.

@Cucoo

Going to continue this here.

I can clearly understand the strong points with starting the end. I can clearly see what you are saying. That's why I got so dissatisfied with the first FaF. I didn't have anything else than a basic idea of what had happened. I did bout know how I wanted the RP to progress. It's just as you say. It was like going to Rome and having no idea of where to go.

That's why I remade FaF. I want toy to look at FaF and tell me what puts it apart from all the other RPs. World building. I only found out who was going to be the week ago. That didn't mean that it destroyed the RP tough. I put it on the biggest road to Rome. From there it can just follow the road. Of course there is always the chance of it branching of and ending up in a different city, but wouldn't that be fun? The RP have now turned a way that I did not expect at all. It's something entirely new.

You can also see this in my characters. I always give them a lot of development. Of toy have a food foundation, the result will be good boo matter what happens to it.

@cucoo

Did you try to use the second RP style?

I'm really sorry to say, but unless you learn to adapt, you're going to have a hard time. :(

It seems to me that you are so stuck on focusing on a goal that you can't see that there are other options. You refuse to try another method because you closely follow your current procedure. If one method doesn't work for a particular situation, then use another one.

You see, all the things you listed are guided plot points, ones that plot creators use. The only problem with that is that you aren't a plot creator in TSU, you're a student. You are set in a reactionary role, but you're trying to plan for a goal that still has yet to exist. Nobody knows what the final goal of the RP is yet, or even for their characters, so there is no Rome for you. If you want to survive in the RP, then adapt. Nobody ever accomplished anything by saying that they can't. The moment you say that is the very moment you limit yourself.

I said I was done. I'm not going to discuss this further. You, S121 and anyone else can. But not me.

-----NEWS ALERT-----

I am basically done with main/basic details for my RP. Here is the story/history of my RP, Crystalis

SpoilerIn the world that is called Higarishin, lies 4 continents - Icajuinawe, Juravante, Tavenbast and Cavirdast.

Icajuinawe is the northern continent, covered in nothing but ice, snow and mountains.

Juravante is the eastern continent, covered in lush forest, underground caves and lakes.

Tavenbast is the southern continent, mostly covered in desert and canyons.

Cavirdast is the western continent, covered in volcanoes and lava.

In the center of these 4 continents lies the great city of Valenster. A great city where people from all over the continents. The city itself lies on what people call the fifth continent.

The ones that rule over Valenster is the Zamaro Empire, lead by the Zamaro family, a family that lives for and supports all people.

Many people lives off of what the continents supply for many centuries. One day, while searching in a nearly discovered cave, the discovery of special crystals happened.

While researching these crystals, scientists found out that these crystal houses magic. through many trail and errors, they couldn't figure out how to use the magic in them.

One day, a scientist though, "Why don't we place one in an object and try from there?" He asked his colleages. So they placed a crystal in a broken sword hilt and one of them focued on the shape of a blade and a blade made of magic appeared. This started what later becomes known as the Magic Revolution.

350 years after figuring out how to use the crystals, they became part of everyday life. Ranging from transport using wind, saving lives using water to put out fires to everyday things.

Along the way, the crystals even became in use of the guards to protect the Zamaro family. With practices with magic came in, also came the idea for a magicial compitition which became Magicsourent.

A tournament which people compete with each other in compititions, ranging from speed flights, blast radius and the most popular one, Blade Art, a compitition where people compete and fight each other in a weapons duel, using mostly blade type weapons.

600 years after the Magic Revolution, the first Great Magic war broke out. The cause of the war was a rebel group that didn't like the peace that was going on. It took 20 years for the war to end. Killing 60,000 people and the head of the Zamaro family. After the war, a special security force was made to help make sure that war doesn't break out again. These security force was named simply FORCE.

FORCE has five main branches, one in each continent and in Valenster and many sub branches throughout the continents. With the help of FORCE, peace once again came to the world.

800 years after the Magic Revolution, only 180 years after the first Great Magic War, the second Great Magic War happened. In this war, the magic used was much greater than in the first war.

The ones who started the war used a magic which was classified as forbidden. They made the continents move and smash into each other and Valenster creating one massive continent.

Due to the sudden collision of the continents, chaos erupted making the war even more deadly. At the end of the war, the head family was captured and was killed. With the lost of the Zamaro family, the support that everyone liked went down dramaticly. The sub family, Biscotti, was placed in charge of what was later called Neo Valenster. Other families took the chance and rose to power and took control of different parts of the smashed together continent. The once seperate four continents became territories.

It's been 10 years since the second Great Magic War ended, how is the people adjusting to the change? What is the newly made territories like without the Zamaro family's support?

This is where your story begins, in a partly ruined world and a partly striving world. How you choose to live in this world is up to you.

"No matter how strong or what power the enemy has, I will fight and protect my friends, even if it cost me my life to protect them. I will fight until I die to ensure their future."

@Zekai
Interesting. But I wouldn't join. Too many fantasy elements in RPs that I'm in already.

@Pringles
Note that I'm waiting for at least two other people in Banished Library to continue.

@katrix

Thanktheheavensyouunderstand

@ S1
Did I ever tell you how many times I rewrote the ending Of EG?
As I started writting as an RP, I've been constantly adjusting how the end would be.
Your reactionary concept, already adapted into a plan.

Do you know the exact end of the ACO arc? No? Neither do I.
All we do know is that there's going to be a bomb.
How is it going to be launched? Where is everyone going to be exactly?
No one can know exactly.
But I can guess.
I can guess that takoizu is going to be there.
Will this be true? Maybe.
Hell, maybe it will be John instead.
Maybe Nera
Or for some crazy twist its the auditor.
I can speculate.
But I can't say "this will happen exactly like this"
Did banished library happen exactly like I thought?
No.
Did I adapt and change when Grima will be addressed? Yes.
Do I know if Grima is going to happen next? No.
Jack is still a variable and wriggs added a twist.
What will happen next? I don't know, but I can tell you what could based on what I'm aiming for and how those possibilities affect my characters.
