New RP Thread Suggestion/Discussion!

Postby Sachi » Mon Dec 22, 2008 10:28 pm

Just a suggestion: Since the current RP seems to be going to shit, I (with help from SSD) have come up with an alternative RP thread idea.

It'll follow the series, starting from Shinji's first day of school in Class 2-A. In this universe, all the characters live within a few blocks of each other, so they can easily interact with each other outside of school or work. Since this is following the series, Nerv still exists, the Evangelions still exists, and the Angels will still attack.

Characters can vary from: Students, School Staff, Nerv Staff, Eva Pilots, or other people living in the neighborhood (thinking of having everybody live in the same apartment complex, but that'd make things a bit crowded and confusing). If you have any other ideas for characters, just ask. We'd also like to use as many as the original characters as possible though. But this time, the Angels in Lilin form are not available.

Basically, the plot is just the characters interactions with each other, at school, work, or home. And every once in a while, an Angel attack, which will involve the Eva Pilots to work together to defeat.

No, we're not planning on following the series exactly. So certain things such as Toji and Kensuke being invited into Shinji's entry plug may not happen. The story is free to go any which way it wants, within reason (like, no going "LOL, I'MA KILL EVERYBODY HURR HURR"). But I suppose the main focus of the story are the interactions between the characters. The Angel attacks are to spice the story up a bit.

This is merely a suggestion, and the idea hasn't been fully revised. So just state your thoughts on the subject. Thanks.

I'll play, but only if I can be an Angel in Angel form.

Jk, but I still like the idea, even though this RP's beginning point means no Sachiel. :(

To be honest, Sachi was the one who mostly came up with the idea, I merely said "holy shit that's awesome".

I think having more of a free range of what to do can make things fun (more like an actual RPG), although if anybody still wants to continue the Post-3I stuff we can do that too.

Just an fyi with this new thread: We could completely start over with who's who. For instance, I wouldn't necessarily be Shinji* as well as the fact the rules could be revised too.

Thoughts?

EDIT: Yes, in this new thread, you can be whatever Eva, or Lilin you'd want. Provided you think you can do them justice that is. ;)

EDIT(true)^2:
*At this point I'm thinking either Shinji, Asuka or Misato for my character. Just state who you'd wanna be. (Having 2 different characters (I'm thinking the provisional characters option bogs people down?) would probably still be in effect.)

Because if I started it when Shinji arrives in Tokyo-3, the school students and staff and a bunch of other characters would have to wait until Sachiel dies in order to begin playing. Although, I suppose those characters can start in the Emergency Shelters or something. But it'd be easier if it started in a peaceful, "not-life-threatening" situation.

Unless anybody else has any other ideas.

EDIT: As for playing an Angel. I'm thinking that maybe whenever an Angel attacks, the players take turns being Angels. So one player can be Shamshel, and another can be Zeruel. It won't count as your official character, but you'll still have control of that Angel until it is defeated.

Well, this is only a suggestion still. There's nothing official yet, so we all still have time to decide our characters. Like last time, each player will be limited to two characters, until further circumstances show up.

"So I checked into Evageeks, walked into a thread...

...if I remember correctly it was a Fandom thread...

...saw "New RP Thread Suggestion" on the front and I-

JIZZED...IN MY PANTS."

"We were remaking Evangelion and I-

JIZZED...IN MY PANTS."

"Was about to reply and I-

JIZZED...IN MY PANTS."

And now for something completely different...

I'm in. Put me as anyone, anything. I'll be a fucking street lamp. Well not really, but you know what I mean. I'm in.

:hitthetable:

Awesome. And thinking about it now, I think I might still be Shinji unless somebody really wants to play the little fuck up. :sweatdrop:

By the way, this could always be our "new" rp discussion thread since the other one is so cluttered. (50 pages already @_@ )

TheAyanamiOtaku: Just a suggestion, I think you should still be Rei or Kaworu. You REALLY do them justice.

Original characters are allowed, as long as they fit. So no making a superhero or something. And no characters from other shows, like Yoko for TTGL would be kinda weird in this universe.

What I'm thinking about doing with expired characters if having them just killed off during an Angel attack. Like say a pile of debris destroyed their shelter. :P

Yes, because let's say Shinji happens to be watching TV and "Action Kamen(Bastard) happens to be on, i could pop in a say a few lines....as myself.


Also: if, and I mean IF you need a Hyuga, i may be able to help.

TheAyanamiOtaku: BELIEVE IN THE YOU THAT BELIEVES IN YOURSELF! :asuka_thumbsup:

So does anybody else have any thoughts on the setting or the characters? I mean, when exactly should we begin? When Shinji's at Nerv about to fight Sachi?

Personally, I like the idea of characters like Asuka, Kaworu, and Kaji already being there but Shinji being sent to Tokyo-3 [to fight Sachi]. (reminds me of one of the scenarios in Eva2. XD )

And most importantly.....is this a go?

Like I said before, orginal characters are allowed, as long as they're compatible with the Eva Universe. So yes, characters such as those seen in fan-fics basically. But they do not need to have a fan-fic to belong here. Like Honsou's Brian Leonard, for example.

EDIT: Oh, and just for you RP noobs out there. You must confirm you character before you go and make a post. Thank you. ^_^

this sounds really cool. I haven't done any of the RP stuff before, and I won't commit to anything major but i will say this is an interesting idea.

@ a now deleted post Legendary brought up about how Asuka and such being there would work for the Gaghi battle:

That's a good point, but we could always just come up with a reason on why they'd have to go to somewhere by boat when we'd get there. (Nerv training perhaps?)

If people really object to Asuka/Kaji/Kaworu already being around we could just have them show up later then. :shrug:

EDIT:

In terms of the Pilots....I think they should stay as their designations from the series (1st-Rei, 2nd-Asuka, 3rd-Shinji, 4th-Toji, 5th-Kaworu), although having the mysterious Eva-04 pilot or maybe even a Toji replacement could work depending on what people feel is right.

I said I was deleting it... I'm sorry.

Legend: It's okay. ;) ~SSD

As far as #'ing goes, if Kaworu is already there, and is a pilot, then he should be the Third Children, Shinji, the Fourth, etc, because they seem to be numbered in terms of when they start piloting, not when they're found, and leaving off a Fourth Children for a potentially great expanse of time whilst having a Fifth would seem weird...

Well, like I was saying on the IRC. Just like how Asuka and Unit-02 were being escorted to Japan, we can make it so another new player who wants to have an Eva Pilot is being escorted instead. Or we can just totally drop it completely. We'll decide once we get there.

And about the deal with Eva Pilots. Since we don't want everybody to go "LOL I CAN BE AN EVA PILOT TOO", and have a million new characters being Eva pilots, we'll need to establish a reasonable limit to how many Eva Pilots we're going to have. Or possible back-up pilots.

I like this idea.



I would be interested in taking on Kensuke, as either an eva pilot or a backup-only pilot. At least then I'd be able to have him hang around at NERV headquarters.

SSD: Well then. *cracks knuckles and neck* I will be reprising my characters, I guess....unless I feel like taking others...

How many characters can each controller take? Are Angel controllers able to take as many Angels as they want? Are Angels from Chowwow's Angel Contest allowed (Ones that aren't UBER POWERFUL)?

Will SEELE characters be available?
The three MAGI computers?
The Lance and the soulless Lilith body?
PenPen?
Will we be able to throw in (godmode in) random characters that have little or not effect on the overarching plot but are used for scenery, conversation, small talk, etc?

BABY EVA! No, I'm kidding, please...god no, I don't want babies....anyways.

Howabout for the important scenes that may involve more than 3 characters, such as the fight scenes, the classroom scenes, scenes @ someone's house during a party, meetings at NERV, yada yada, be discussed beforehand with the parties involved at a private channel in IRC?

As as for the beginning...hm..

EDIT: I just had a huge epic idea for this, incorporating several future projects. This could be big.

Let's start with what I believe to be the True Beginning (In Chronological Order):

Backstory - "ancient history for some"

- Short or long section on SEELE and the setting up of GEHRIN and NERV. This can actually be an super-ultra wide-spanning arc in all of the series, starting with our supposed beginning. (Keel, back in the day, is hiking in the mountains near The Dead Sea with a buncha rich playboys?) I can see it now...
Keel Lorenz: When Life Was Free
and then SEELE returns to the background...

- Section on 2I (!!! THIS CAN BE CRYING MAN! REICHU, STOP PROCRASTINATING, NAOOOO!)

- Misato's Recovery Process & First/Brief Meeting with Fuyutsuki

- Misato & Ritsuko meet each other during collegetime (This can be a separate fanfic created at a later time). Gendo and Yui meet and "fall in love with each other" (This can be a very cool separate fanfic created at a later time).

- Simultaneously (or probably a little beforehand), Fuyutsuki-Sensei's Story - The Reluctant Starving Bruised Dog and the Open Chained Left Hand, and the Right Hand with a Metal Bat
(longest title ever?)

The End is the Beginning is the End

- Start of the School Year in which Shinji arrives (Which grade are the classmates at? 14....so is that 9th grade? Are we going to stick to the original and have Kensuke and Touji gawking at Rei, with Hikari and other random classmates?
- Location and confirmation of location of Shinji by NERV Spies/Informants (this can be lengthened, and Kaji can take part in this. SEELE Members can take part in this, outlining the backstory as to why Shinji was chosen at this particular moment in time, and not earlier or later)
- Notification of Shinji's Legal Guardian by NERV Officials ("OH SHI-" or "IT'S YOU!"), or even a stealthy Gendo himself!
- Preparation before Transferal (Getting everything set up, fingerprints, blah blah (this can be short and sweet), Misato's photograph delivered to Shinji, blah blah)
- Actual transferal of Shinji from wherever he was initially living to Tokyo-3, or The Delicious Shinji Ikari Internal Monologue/Soliloquy-Before-He-Gets-More-Fucked-Up

"I'm Singing...and Dancing...In The Rain."

Enter this idea.
