Haha okay I know it looks like complete crap right now. I'm not going to go on a theme editing rampage until we all decide together what the theme should be like and all that >.>
Same reason I haven't added more forums. We had a LOT more planning to do before that. @_@
And feel free to start any threads in this General forum. We don't have to only use this one for brainstorming. I just figured I'd start us off with this.
SO!
Me and Lil were talking again last night and we had a few ideas. Most of them we felt aren't good/wouldn't work, but I'll list them anyway just to voice them.
Okay, firstly, starting the RP. We could have our characters either all come from the same world, or each come from different worlds. I personally think it would be a lot more interesting if they came from different worlds, but that also makes things way more complicated because that it presents us with the issue of getting our characters together. Lil and I thought of a few ways we could do it. (Neither of which would be easy x.x but still)
Method 1:
Use an existing Square character (anyone that would be suitable for the role) to kinda go and round them up. Maybe this Square charrie somehow knows about this new threat to the galaxy (I just say "threat" because we haven't really had any ideas about what form our enemy is taking in this RP) and they also know that these certain four people need to be brought together to combine their powers or whatever to save the worlds. It sounds really cheesy, but I'm keeping things vague because there's so much we haven't decided on yet as a group that its hard to describe things XD Basically this Square character would do kinda what... ehh... Gandalf from Lord of the Rings is the best comparison I can think of. Basically they would be like a more experienced guide that knows a bit more about what's going on then our kiddos do. (Please ignore the fact that I just used the word "kiddos" XD)
Anyway, obviously this method calls for a buttload of work because we'd have to decide which Square charrie to use, who'd write for them, how do they know about the "threat" (I mean what would make them so wise and special? it would have to be explained... )
Lil thought of another way we could bring them together. XD Method one left both of us "hmmmm"-ing and scratching our heads like we have lice or something. (Gawd that was a gross metaphor. -_-)
Method 2:
Since these four characters are somehow going to be linked by their talent/power/whatever (I mean they're the only four that have it) then we were thinking we could use four different and seemingly irrelevant scenarios to bring them together. Like they unwittingly converge in the same world. Somehow they all had some reason to be in the same mutual place, but it had nothing to do with eachother. Kind of like how in Final Fantasy games characters get involved as you go along in the story, and they all kind of form a group but unintentionally. And we could explain the huge coincidence of them being in the same place at around the same time with the fact that... like subconciously they gravitated toward eachother.
The only problem this poses us is that we'd have to figure out how they would know about this threat to the world, or how they would know that they need to work together or if they would even know about their own power. There's not someone more experienced there telling them "Yo you guys have to like save the world and stuff. Get cracking." and obviously they just wouldn't KNOW they're not psychic. So it's tricky.
Of course, figuring out a way of bringing them together is only a problem if we decide to make them from seperate worlds. Because if they're all from the same place obviously they're already going to be in the same general area. At least from the same world.
I personally like the idea of having them from seperate places (even if they're all from different FF worlds or whatever) because then we get the chance to have a lot more diversity with character traits and stuff. I mean if they're from different worlds, there's no doubt that they're going to be complete and total strangers. I think it's most fun when everybody's a stranger from the beginning XD
If you guys have any better ideas for bringing them together in the beginning, PLEASE SHARE x.x cause omg this is gnawing at me like an impossible riddle.
Uhh you're also probably wondering why the name of this board is "KH Four Souls". Well Lil's very first initial idea for the RP was that our four characters, no matter how diverse, could have this one common connection in that when they combine their efforts or when they're together as a group you know, they could have some kind of power. We were thinking something along the lines of summoning. Because doing a summon thing to seal the worlds or whatever they have to do would be cooler than using a keyblade. Plus with a keyblade, that basically makes one character bear all the responsibility and the rest just basically support and protect that guy. I think it makes it a lot more interesting (and gives us a lot more we could do plot-wise XD) if all four of them are needed.
So that's why I picked "four souls" to put in the url. I needed a name and all the stuff like "KHRP" and "KHRoleplay" and "KingdomHeartsRP" was taken. So I improvised >.O so I hope the four souls thing is okay with you guys haha >.>;
Another thing we need to start thinking about is what kind of villian/threat we're going to be facing. Since this is a Kingdom Hearts RP I think we should do something along the lines of the Heartless, but we should give it our own original little spin too. Just so it's like unique to us and our RP. Ideas? >.< I haven't thought about it that much, I'm kinda just writing this whole post impromptu right now, so I don't have a lot of ideas about what we could do.
This is all I can think of to ramble about now... XD I think we've got enough issues to discuss for starters. Remember: SHARE WHATEVER IDEAS YOU HAVE. Talking about it as a group gives us a chance to bounce ideas off eachother, and whether it's a totally crappy idea or not, someone else might be able to improve on that thought or maybe it'll inspire a better idea in them. SO JUST SAY WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND AND DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT BEING GOOD. XD
Uhh... that said, I think I'm done. >.O
