Discuss A Suikoden RPG- <M-VLS>

[PWNED]

In the beginning, there was "darkness."
Then, the "darkness" shed a "tear."
From that "tear," the brothers Sword and Shield were born.
Shield claimed it could defend against any attack.
Sword claimed it could slice through anything.
The brothers began a legendary battle.
At the end, both Sword and Shield shattered.
Sword became the sky, Shield became the earth, and the sparks from the battle became the stars.
As for the jewels, they fell to the ground and became the True Runes--The runes that all other runes were born from.

. . .


There is one man, corrupted by greed, who has the desire all of the twenty-seven True Runes, supports of all that exist. This man was once a hero. He unified a country and installed a goverment of peace, a teocracy. This man's name is Hikusaak. However, peace cannot last forever when you go stray, forgetting the purpose... The high priest, commander of the Holy Kingdom of Harmonia, owner of the Circle Rune, eventually began to use the Kingdom's military supremacy to try and gather all other True Runes. That was his downfall, for while he focused on that quest, insatisfaction steadly grew among the population, mainly among third class citizens. At first, the High Priest ignored the rebellions, letting some of his minor underlings supress it. But the scenario changed drastically with the ascension of a rebel group that nominated themselves as the Returners.

The Returners possessed some kind of ower that could easily match that of the army, a power that allowed them to distort the thin time and space and bring forth might warriors from the past. That started a huge civil war on the country. People suffered on the hands of both sides. Death. Unlike it was thought at first, the Returners were not a group that sought only to take Hikusaak and his teocracy down... They sought to completely cleanse humanity of its sins and start everything again from nothingness. But even with the power of those warriors, the Returners had no power to completely overpower the Harmonian army, for some of the people who were brought to the present refused to fight and joined other causes. That created an equilibrium in the war. Each side had its own wins and losses. It seemed that the war could just go on forever, prolonging the suffering of the people.

The balance was, however, broken down by the ascension of another rebel group, that sought to end the war and overthrow Hikusaak, implanting a Republic during the process... Destiny is something uncertain. It is of each one responsibility to create his own and help to write down History...

This is the story behind an RPG that I and a friend are creating which is based in the Suikoden universe. Before you have a go at me for using Suikoden locations for an unrelated story he is more details. It is set shortly after the Scarlet Moon empire aka Toran Republic is formed. By incident a tear in the timeline occurs and so characters from the games are plucked from history and taken to this time. And thats all there is to it.

I need some time to set up a character sign up sheet but feel free to check out the story and comment on it.

Are people limited to characters within the Suikoden games or are we making up new characters?

[PWNED]

Yeah, The RPG will not be limited to characters from the games. I don't think I'll have True Runes to be too avaliable. I'd need a PM if someone wanted to use a character like Mc'Dhol or the like.

Here is the basic Character Sign up, I'ts not finalized yet but It is just a template for it.

Personality: Normally quite and to himself. Until he starts drinking then he can turn out to be pretty lively and knows how to have a good time.

History: His home was ravaged by rogues and he was left for dead after his family left him behind. He was taken in by a traveling martial artist and was trained how to fight bare-handed and with weapons. His weapon of choice became the nuchucks and when he completed his training he was given the Flowing Rune as a reward. Shortly after his master died of old age. Adam now walks alone searching for a new life.

Other: None.

You do know that this isn't a sign up thread don't you. Will this be your character for the RPG or is it just a try out?
