Sorry, I've been offline all weekend (does extremely good for my purse ;) ), but I'll continue sending the info-packs to people today. Well, Cristan's role is now dealt to Lalaith Ril, so only ROUGE is available -for some reason, nobody is willing to play her... Why doesn't anybody want to be a true vamp? :smirk: Dark_A., I'm not sure about Vixen being a playable character... I've considered it, but she has SUCH big a secret that I don't want it to be revealed in the first page or anything... Other possible characters are Kumog (the moogle), and some of the gang-members of Diablo. So if there's people you REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be in this game, I can make some new roles, but they won't have such a big part... But there's still ROUGE! *hint hint*

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Sara [/i] [B][SIZE=1] ...And Shyguy is definitely not Hitler. [/size] [/B][/QUOTE] [i]What?![/i] He [i]isn't[/i]?! Oh man, my life's shattered... :bawl: Yep, but though mods are errorous(?) humans as well, they are also personalities, and some times hey seem to overreact. I too have got shout at a few times. *bitterly remembers Justin calling him a jerk *snif** What I'm trying to say is that even though mods can make mistakes, FEW of them have acted/are acting way too "moderative" from time to time... well, maybe they were having a bad day. :huh: *groans* [size=1]That still doesn't mean one should be shouted at because of his opinions...[/size] Bleh.

The villain characters I showed you earlier are the LeBlanc Clan, rivals to the treasure hunter tribe that Yuna & co are in (the main idea is that these two(?) tribes compete to find spheres around Spira, but I don't know anything else). The LeBlanc Clan is formed by LeBlanc herself (the woman with barely no clothes), and her guerillas Uno and Sono. Got this info from... somewhere, I don't remember, but anyways...

Umm, what [i]problems[/i]... Well, she's actually [spoiler]orphan, mute and very introverted[/spoiler], but WHAT problems? :bluesweat: I'll be sending the detailed thingies via PM sooner than soon, so remember to check out your PM-boxes!

I'm REALLY sorry to double post, but I've got a SPECIAL TREAT for all of you: Behold the main characters drawn by me - FF6 style! Their looks may change a bit when Ginny shows her work, but now you'll have at least SOME kind of view of how the characters look like. I've also got similar paper from the possible supporting characters, but I'll save it for later.

Okay, I think I better put most of the recruitments up now. Sorry if someone feels turned down, but remember that one character can be played by only one person. So, here goes the characters not available anymore, with the people who're playing them: Mena - Juuthena Torean - Valen Keio - starlight Ebonine - sweetreyes Diablo - Yoda Xeed - sage Lotus - Ginny Strago - Mitch Rubio - Bremma Starlet - The Harlequin So, still need people to play Rouge and Cristan. I'm really sorry if I'm being prejudiced against newbies, but I just want to be sure people will be dedicated to this thing, because some people have a bad habit of joining games and not playing when the time comes.

Listen, this isn't about "giving something a shot"! You've got to be sure if you want to be one of the characters! I repeat that I want good gaming to this RPG! ...Eh, sorry, I'm just anxious...I'd best put another list in. This is the characters in the order of significance (meaning how dedicated the player should be to this game): *Very* main characters: Mena Keio Diablo Ebonine (Torean) (Xeed) *Less* main characters: Cristan Rouge Starlet Rubio (Lotus) (Strago) But this list just my thinking, it might very well change during the game. I hope you consider the amount of time you can give this game, so that your character doesn't just become someone the others drag behind. Also you should convince me that you WANT to be in this game, for obvious reasons. But don't be alarmed, I like the way this recruitment is turning out. I'll post the final decision in a few days, so we can get this started - apparently sooner than expected. :D

[size=1]Umm, DwagonWawwiow, me wanna a cawd too... *sucks thumb* Can you make it happen, pwetty pwease?[/size] name: The Sage magic: fire type: sorcerer picture: use my Gilgamesh-avatar (the dude wearing a red cape) effects: I have no idea how to do exact effects, but I'm sure you will aid me in this one.:D Assura's Blades - something offensive Grand Vision - enhances status, maybe? Thankew! :toothy:

[center][i]In ancient times, the world of Asqar was under the aegis of the Guardians, holy spirits of pure power, keeping the balance of Yin and Yang, the light and the darkness. But then happened something that the history has long since forgotten, and the Guardians were sealed away. The world fell into a chaotic era, as the balance was shattered. Now, after centuries of living in an ideological void, the people have received a new belief: Technotheism, belief in the power of technology. Fame, fortune and profit are now considered as virtues, altruism and generosity as weaknesses. People think they are living in an ideal society, until a bitter war between two of Asqar's greatest nations begins, and the distruction of mankind seems inevitable. Yet, some knowledge from the past has preserved, and a miscellaneous group of people learn about the ancient Guardians, and are set to seek out the prisons of the forces before it is too late...[/i][/center] This is how the world of Asqar lies when this amazing journey begins. Would [i]you[/i] like to participate to this great quest to seek out the truth, and attemp to save the world of Asqar from ruination? Here's your chance! There are 12 playable characters in this RPG, but as me and my assistants have already chosen our characters, 8 more can join us (if the demand is high, some new characters will be included). This is done the traditional way, so I, the gameleader, have created these characters for you - with names, appereances, bios, fighting styles and all that stuff. Anyhow, you get to [i]be[/i] your character, s/he will do whatever you decide (and I approve), and his or hers personality is ALL up to you, as well as the character development. Before I go any forward, I'd like to introduce [u]the characters[/u] to you shortly: [u]Females:[/u] [b]Mena Redhawk[/b] -princess -origin Camelot, capital of Carthenia -age 17 -weapons sword&rod -special skill Squall (special moves with pet-redhawk) -alliance Yin (white) [b]Keio Akiro[/b] -shaman -origin Maua Wanga of the Maua Isles -age 15 -weapons rod&shuriken -special skill Trance (boosts attacks) -alliance Yin [b]Ebonine Rhamandari[/b] -warriorpriestess -origin Borala Village in the desert of Kjaran Shu -age 31 -weapons lance&nunchaku -special skill Throw (throw special items at opponents) -alliance Yang (black) [b]Rouge Du Fleur[/b] -secretary -origin town of Beatricia in Arcania -age 20 -weapons whip&shuriken -special skill Seduce (control opponents) -alliance Yang [b]Starlet Gazer[/b] -jester -origin Hebei Village in Arcania -age 18 -weapons N/A -special skill Mimic (repeats allies attacks) -alliance Yin-Yang (both white&black) [u]Males:[/u] [b]Diablo Santos[/b] -ganster -origin Solomon City in Mertonia -age 17 -weapons dirk&glove -special skill Thievery (steal from opponents) -alliance Yang [b]Cristan Marina[/b] -admiral -origin Port Junction in Carthenia -age 35 -weapons lance&pistol -special skill Gambler (uses cards to determine moves) -alliance Yin [b]Rubio Lexus[/b] -relic hunter -origin Mount Carpasso in Mertonia -age 22 -weapons pistol&whip -special skill Darkside (uses enemy attacks) -alliance Yang Above are all the characters available. [size=1][u]These are NOT available anymore:[/u] [b]Xeed Saggath[/b](sage) -monk -origin Papal City of Saint Jahva in Mertonia -age 19 -weapons staff&mind -special skill Secret (special moves) -alliance Yin [b]Torean Tremor[/b](Valen) -relic hunter -origin Hebei Village in Arcania -age 18 -weapons sword&dirk -special skill Sword Art (special moves with swords) -alliance Yang [b]Lotus Meng[/b](Ginny) -dancer -origin Quindao in the Tsunami Islands -age 18 -weapons glove&nunchaku -special skill Combo (combines martial arts moves) -alliance Yin [b]Strago Esper[/b](Mitch) -guru -origin unknown -age unknown -weapons mind&staff -special skill Transform (transforms into a monster) -alliance Yin-Yang[/size] [u]So, here's some explanations:[/u] I know there's only a wee bit of info from each character, but I will personally send each player the full stats&bio via PM when the time comes. This will ensure that eg the backgrounds will remain a secret until revealed during the game. There's going to be some great art coming from this game, and each of the players will get at least one picture of their character. Unfortunately I don't have any within reach to show you, but the pics will come, promise... As you see, I've created some kind of a combat system to this game, which includes unique weapons, special moves and various opponents. To play this RPG it is not OBLIGATORY to write about combats, but I thought some people will enjoy a proper battles like in the real FF-games. Everybody will get their own weapons, moves and stuff in the PM. Alliances have to do with the Guardians, who will appear as summoning monsters in this RPG. I have included most of the summons from the games, like Shiva and Ifrit, who can be seen in my current banner. The Guardians have to do with magic, and Yin and Yang refer to the types of magic: Yin includes curative+enhancive+offensive magic and Yang includes detrimental+offensive magic. Nut more about these later. [u]About participation:[/u] I've worked my butt off with this thing, so everybody who intent to post like "I kill u all, MWAHAHAA!!!" do NOT bother to sign in. Unfortunately only one can play each character, so I can't promise you will get to be JUST the one you wanted. So please [u]list max. THREE possible characters you'd like to be in the order you want[/u]. The decisions will be made by those lists: if you can't be the one at the top of the list, you can probably be the second or third. Remember that more characters will come if the success of this thing is completely overwhelming (which I doubt). Oh, and in order to participate you do NOT really have to know much about the Final Fantasy games (only the idea of them), but this will be most enjoyable to those who are familiar to the series. Hmm, have I forgot something...? Well, if you have ANY questions, just ask me! Now, let's see what kind of welcome this gets.... Oh yes, the game will *probably* start at the beginning of February.

Mad Oscar's can be found in Darill's grave (I haven't reached Kefka's tower yet - still have lots to do in WOR) Tasis, does your question have a CLEAR answer? I thought it was just a matter of theorization (spelling?). Anyways, AJeh's answer sounded pretty good, so why don't you (AJeh) throw us with a question?

Yeah, some brightness into our lives! ...Well, it is winter, though, so maybe this gloominess fits well, but PLEASE make a sunny-color themed skin to version 7! Thanks in advance! PS. Despite it's gloomy color-theme, this enw skin is EXTREMELY COOL. (Though the twisting arrows make me little dizzy if I look at them...)

Malboros were called MAD Oscars, but close enough... ;) Don't know about FF4, haven't played it...

Same thing with renaming Dagger(Garnet) to Garnet in FF9... Garnet:"Hmm, what secret name should I choose... *takes Zidane's dagger* This is a dagger, so I will be called... GARNET!" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

That's it! I went to the cave BEFORE going to Owzer's house! But yesterday I returned to the cave, and there was no Shadow!:bawl: Well, maybe I'll find him at the Colosseum... Okay, back to the topic: is there a question going on in here, or should I make a new one? Okay, I will: Q: In FFVI (yes, another one), what do they call the enemies later known as Tonberrys and Malboros?

Besides, what would be left to the main anime sections of eg digimon, if the card discussions would be taken elsewhere? There's no NEED for a separate section for card games! Random card games (eg H.P. or such) could go to gaming section, or the lounge...

Yes, this thread is about [i]inventing original names for your characters[/i]! Well, this has probably been under discussion in the past, but I didn't see any thread of this sort at the first page, so.... So, do you usually change the names of the characters in your FF-game? In almost all of them, there is that option, save FF8, where you could only change the names of Squall, Rinoa and the Guardian Forces. What kind of names do you give the characters, if you change them? When I played FF9 for the first time I changed almost everybody's name, eg Vivi was Magus, Freya was Rhea and Eiko was Echo. Yes, pretty stupid, I know...:rolleyes: Currently I'm playing FF6, but I haven't changed the characters names, except Sabin's by accident: I pushed a wrong button and deleted the n-letter from the end without noticing, and now my Sabin is called SABI. I'd really like to know what kind of names you have made up!

Relm-problem solved! When I went to the cave of Veldt, I found Relm there, fought a few Behemots (got a BehemotSuit), and then took herr to Thamasa (automatically). However, I wasn't able to get her to JOIN my party until I went to Jidoor, solved Owzer's riddle and found my way to the Starlet-painting. After THAT I got Relm. Well, perhaps if I return to the cave in the Veldt, I'll find Shadow there... (Still need to find Shadow, Strago, Locke, Mog and Umaro - I found Gogo ALL BY MYSELF yesterday, without any hints outside the game!:D )

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Desbreko [/i] [B][color=indigo][b]Answer:[/b] Nope, you find Shadow in the cave on the Veldt. You find Relm in the basement of that rich guy's house in Jidoor... You know, what's-his-face, with all the paintings... Bleh, I forget the name, but I know where it is, and I remember you have to fight Chadarnook, that evil thingy that's in the painting of the goddess that Relm is working on when you find her.[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] What?! Oookay... I found Relm from the cave of Veldt with Interceptor, but maybe it depends from the order you find the characters... But I [i]went[/i] to Jidoor earlier, and only the painting of Gestahl reacted (got a note saying "the treasure is hidden to a mountain range shaped like a star...") What a mystery... Well, both are probably right.:huh:

Valen, you forgot the Cid in FF6, he was emperor Gestahl's engineer there. Heh, someone said that there's no FF-game without a Cid... ;) Me wanna ask! Q: Game is FF6 (yes, again...). Where do you find Relm in the World of Ruin as you regather your characters?

Yes, I got it. The pics are coming out great (though I had already seen most of the sketches...). I'll still try to find a scanner, so you could see more clearly who're the main charas and who're not. But anyhow, I'll be sending another update soon, so check your mailbox. Hmm, hmmm, this is getting exciting... I need to get this done as soon as possible, because soon I will have to start reading to my Matriculation Examination, which is the test you have to take before you can even APPLY to the university...

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by GinnyLyn [/i] [B] BTW, I think the summons are fine as they are--plus, I don't want the character drawings for my comic to spill over into FFU. Wouldn't look good on my part. [/B][/QUOTE] Oh no, you've misunderstood me! I didn't ask you to do the summonings, they're fine just the way they are, EXCEPT the "Grand Summon" Utopia. [i]Her[/i] I asked you to design, but I can use FF8-summon Eden to be her, if you don't want to... I'm SO irritated now! I made cool "tiny" version from ALL the characters (like the ones you see in FF6's guidebook-thingy (I don't know what it is called in English)), BUT yesterday I found that the scanner we had here in school has been TAKEN AWAY! :bawl: Why-oh-why...*sobs* Well, I'll get them to you somehow... MESSAGE TO ALL DRAWERS: What I really basically need is just a proper, single picture from each of the main characters, nothing else. Of course, all extra-stuff is always welcome!:D

offstory: Shadowdramon, I'm not quite sure what you wrote, but PLEASE tell me you didn't send everybody HOME!? We definately need another "who is where with whom" -list. I'm too mixed up, but I'll list the characters I've been writing about lately: *DEVAS Majiramon, Makuramon, Pajiramon, Vajramon, Kumbhiramon, Mihiramon and Chatsuramon - plus SnowBotamon(ex-Baihumon) - are searching the rest of the Devas (Antylamon, Sandiramon and Vikaralamon) to merge their powers (plus the powers of the late Shinduramon and Indramon) into one to form the mighty DEVAMON. *LILITHMON, who is almost the last of the digimons in a supporting role, is as follows. I honestly didn't get what happened to the others (Jeri, Kenta, Rika, Henry& co). All I know is that: *Ryo, Hopmon and Pururumon are in the other dimension *Masahiko&Bastemon are are with Tanemon in the Blizzard Master's cavern *Zilla and Yoshi are with the Outcasts, right? Where's Takato, Guilmon, Sandiramon and Vikaralamon? Weren't they fighting Parallelmon? What happened to Metamormon? And what about Milleniummon? Where is this story now??? Okay, I'll just calm down, and write about Lilithmon a bit: **************** Lilithmon sat on her knees, black wings folded against her back. "Oh Oracle, what will I do now? All is [i]lost[/i]!" She gave the glowing ball of light a desperate glance. [i]Worry not, ominous one. Your part is not over in this grand play of Destiny.[/i] "What do you mean? The chaos has won, and there's nothing neither the powers of good nor the powers of evil can do!" [i]All is not lost, dark child, for the courageous ones are still fighting. Aid the saviours from the world of humans, and the digital sun will rise again. The destiny lies in the hands of the ones who act, not the ones who worry...[/i] "Wise words as always, Oracle. But must I be alone?" [i]Behold the wall on your right, child. A new model is to appear on the wall, and that model is to be the one you must seek.[/i] Lilithmon turned her look to the wall, and saw a new figure to shape just between the models of Kuwagamon and Leomon. The figure was wearing a dark cape with a golden hood, which left it's face to the shadows, leaving only it's eyes to be seen. The figure held cores of light, as if it was juggling with them. [i]Behold Wisemon.[/i] "Wisemon..." Lilithmon repeated. That digimon was to be her companion, to add some magic to the middle of the bitter war. "Together we will bring the Tamers to each other!"

I think we are definately in need for an "Oscar Awards" of our own, because there's been several threads about "best member here" and "members you respect" and such at the Lounge. So, [i]bring it on, Jamesy![/i] ;) And I do agree that people should vote only for one person/category, and I suggest that there would be as many categories as possible/sensible. Hmm, better start making more friends for more nominations... Okay, kidding!;)
