so i herd u liek planning arr-pees {RP PUBLIC PLANNING THREAD}

[Dwarven King]

Vague and undetailed plot:

 

I'll just skip the Shield part since its up there.

Now, a cosmic entity, called Lavidez by the Shields, have entered the earth's atmosphere, spreading its dark influence into the fragile heart of the humans. Lavidez grants the humans superpowers, but at the same time infecting them by greed.

 

And there could be some rogue Shields too. I dunno.

 

Interesting...interesting. Any further details at this time?

[Master Red]

I have been thinking of recreating an old fan-fic idea to become an RP. It's basically a Yu-Gi-Oh! RP that takes place in the time between the end of GX and 5D's, the twist? The characters are supposed to destroy Domino City to prevent an ancient prophecy (or something) from happening. The destruction of Domino would cause the death of thousands of people, but it's done for the greater good of saving millions, or is it? (I have considered to have s*** go down anyways).

 

Other things:

Kaiba Corp is now run by Mokuba Kaiba, after the mysterious disappearance of his older brother a few years back.

People will be able to RP as children from original Yu-Gi.Oh! Characters.

The RP itself takes place around 10-20 years after the events of GX (20-30 after original Yu-Gi-Oh! series)

 

 

If anyone would like to help with the planning of this shoot me a PM or something ;o

[Aesirson]

I'm still thinking about the plot for my RP, but I think Master Red looks like the last season of 5D's interesting stuff, if you're able to pull it off.

[Master Red]

oh shoot don't tell me they did something like this in 5d's -________- I never followed that show so I wouldn't know xD

 

anyways, I'm working on some of it now at least, if you have ideas feel free to give them :D

[Master Red]

sooo.... I've started to write out a brief history of what has happened to important characters from the original and GX series during the 13 years that have passed since the duel between Yugi and Judai.

 

[spoiler=A brief history]

Thirteen Years have passed since the events at Duel Academy and the duel between rising star duelist, Yuki Judai and the King of Games Mutou Yugi.

 

The king of games, Yugi, retired two years after that duel and settled down to live a quaint life in Domino City. Rumours say that he got married and settled down domewhere in the suburbs of Domino City. Popular belief had it that he married a girl believed to be his high school sweet heart, Mazaki Anzu, but those proved to be wrong when Domino Daily talked to his friends and Anzu herself.

------------

Many were struck by grief as rising star duelist, Yuki Judai, died in a New York hospital nine years ago. He had been stabbed three times and he died from his injuries, it is believed that he was robbed and then stabbed by the robber.

 

The reason to him being in New York in the first place was to compete in the US-Asia Tournament that was to be held there just days after his death. He was one of the favorites for the tournament itself and many were saddened by this tragedy.

 

A fund was started in his memory by his fiancée Rei Saotome, which was to sponsor young aspiring duelists from the lower class so they could afford to attend Duel Academy and improve.

------------

Five years ago the world was shocked as the head of Kaiba Corporations, Kaiba Seto, disappeared when on an expedition in the Amazonas. He is believed to have died in a plane crash as the private jet he travelled with was found as a smoking wreck within the djungles. No body has been found yet though and the new CEO of KC, his brother, Kaiba Mokuba, is still not giving up hope that his brother may be alive somewhere and spends a lot of money on the search.

------------

Other recent events include the Bankrupcy of the Black Clown game shop, which was owned by the creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters, Otogi Ryuji. The Dungeon Dice Monsters game was also discontinued which resulted in a harsh depression on Otogi's side. Exactly what he's doing is unknown, but his wife Otogi Shizuka (earlier Shizuka Kawai/Jounochi) has confirmed the rumors of him growing suicidal shortly after the bankrupcy. "He is fine now that he has started to see a psychiatrist and takes anti-deppressives, thankfully Pegasus-sama was very kind upon the discontinuation of the DDM games and offered him a job at Industrial Illusions. Without that offer I'm scared of what could have happened" mrs. Otogi said when interviewed about the condition of her husband.

------------

Marufuji Ryu made an astounding comeback in a Dueling Tournament four months ago after the adultery scandal that was brought to light six years ago. At first Marufuji dismissed all accusations but after photographic evidence of him kissing another man he could no longer fight the rumours, that turned out to be true, about his adultery and his hidden sexuality. His wife took out a divorce shortly after these confirmations and in the interviews that followed she revealed that the marriege had been rocky since the very beginning and she had been suspecting that something was "not right" with him. The tabloids of course tried to get her to "dish the dirt" on her ex-husband but she refused saying that "I was not raised to be vengeful".

 

The Tabloids were, of course, all over Marufuji himself wanting him to reveal whom he had been seeing and if he was in a relationship at the moment. Marufuji didn't make any comments at first but after his win in the Tournament he revealed that he was infact seeing someone but he couldn't reveal whom due to several reasons. This has of course made Tabloids speculate wildly whom this might be and candidates have already included most politicians as well as important business mogules.

 

 

 

So basically that's what I've come up with for the "past characters" so far. I might include something about some more characters... but I feel like all characters don't have to be mentioned either :)

[Aesirson]

[spoiler=End of 5D's within]Basically the last season of 5D's was a man from the future, refered to as Z-ONE (Vector in the dub) going back in time to present-time Domino to prevent an invasion of MeklordsMachine Emperors. How does he do this? By making a giant island fall upon Neo Domino City and destroy it.

 

[spoiler=SAFEGUARD: An Original RP]We are Shields. We are a race of superhumans from another plane of this universe. We have always been here to safeguard humanity from any threats, be it from the cosmic adversaries that roam the universe or from within.

 

Decades ago, a giant conflict raged across Earth, and had it continued it could have been fatal to humanity itself. That is when we intervened. We gave the humans a weapon to strike fear into themselves. We game them nuclear power.

 

They were too foolish to use it right. After that incident we decided to leave the humans to themselves. We closed the gate to the humane plane of the universe to prevent any Shield from entering Earth. However, during later days a new threat have entered Earth's galactic section. We call it Lavidez.

 

Lavidez feed on greed, something that today's humans have plenty off. It uses humans, granting them power to conduct their greedy acts. It stuffs the humans with greed so that it can satisfy its own hunger, but its hunger is neverending. Without our intervention humanity will be lost and Lavidez will be free to roam the galaxy.

 

The gate to Earth has once again been opened. It is time for us to help humanity once again.

 

 

There will probably be a little bit more to the plot once I get the RP started.

[Master Red]

I have a first rough draft for the introduction/plot. I might re-do it in a completely different manner but as of now this is what I decided to go with.

Ideas? Comments? Criticism?

 

[spoiler=Introduction]

"Domino City must fall" Kaiba-sama said, looking sternly out at the small group of people in the room. There was a buzz spreading amongst them, a buzz of surprise, shock and disgust. One of the most powerful men in the city had just asked them to help him with the destruction their own home town. "I know it may come as a shock to all of you, but I assure you that the destruction of Domino is something that is for the best" Mokuba continued, looking out over the crowd with his big green eyes, looking completely calm as this blasphemy escaped his lips. The crowd didn't calm itself and Mokuba realized that he had to explain even further, he'd kind of expected that he'd have to but he had really hoped that it wouldn't be necessary.

 

He rose from his seat, scratching the his black haired head. His hair was short and neatly cropped with some product slapped into it to bring his bangs up. "During the searches for my brother in the Amazonas my team came across an ancient tome, we think it's Mayan or Incan, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was the very thing that my brother had set out to find during his expedition" Mokuba started, walking about a bit in the room, looking out over the crowd every now and then. He adjusted his crimson tie and cleared his throat a bit before continuing. "It took my researchers some time, but we managed to translate the tome well enough to actually make sense of it" He paused and then tapped a screen on the wall which immediately lit up and showed a stone tome with intricate symbols on it, the Amazonian Tome.

 

Come look for me and you shall be lost to the eyes of the world. Only by not looking shall you find my warning. I shall only be found when the time is nigh, only then shall I bestow you with my warning.

 

The king disbands his kingdom, the rising star falls. Unlike the game, the rest of the pawns shall fall if the first one stands. Eternal nights, snow tainted by crimson rain, the pawn must fall for the remaining to remain standing.

 

"You might not understand it, but if you think hard enough there are several references here to events of the last decade as well as a cleverly hidden reference about Domino City itself." Mokuba said, turning around to face the crowd once more, his gaze even more serious than earlier. The buzzing had died down as he had read the translation to the tome and many were now starting to look more like they actually believed the words of Kaiba-sama.

 

"Unlike the game, the rest of the pawns shall fall if the first one stands... that must be the reference to Domino City, right?" someone in the crowd said and Mokuba nodded his head contently at this.

 

"Hai, it's a reference to a Domino Effect, it's not really the game of Domino itself but most children playing with Domino Bricks use it to create the domino effect; tipping one pawn over to see the rest of them fall down" Mokuba explained to the rest of the crowd, or at least to the ones that might not have grasped the reference as of yet. "Domino is the first pawn, the rest of the world are the other pawns. The first one must fall in order for the remaining to remain standing" He said, repeating a fragment of the prophecy once morem closing his eyes as he did so.

 

There was a buzz going through the room once more, but this time it was different. The buzz was more of consern, not for the sake of destroying the town, but what would happen if they didn't. "You might wonder why I'm asking you of all people" Kaiba-sama continued as he straightened up once more. "According to my studies you are all some of the up and coming duelists, but you are still unknown enough to be moving about wherever you want in town without having to avoid paparazzi and such. I can't really do that you know, but I do have a large amount of money so I will be able to bribe police when needed as well as continuing research for how to slowly but surely destroy Domino" he said, falling silent for a while. "This is why I need you, I will fund everything but without your help I will have a hard time carrying out the deeds to hinder this horrible prophecy without creating headlines and possibly go to jail."

 

"Why don't you just evacuate everyone and bomb the city?" A woman asked in the back of the room. "Excellent question miss, we did consider this in the beginning but after some more translations had been made we realized this wouldn't stop the prophecy at all. There is another piece of the tome that we're currently working on and it speaks of how to prevent the prophecy by destroying the five cores of the pawn, without destroying them one at a time the prophecy will activate and destroying them all at once might even cause it to happen even quicker" Mokuba explained it all very quickly. The people in the room seemed to have understood the seriousness of the situation and the buzz was once again breaking out in the room.

 

---------------------------------------

 

This is where the story starts. You have just been a part of this briefing by Mokuba Kaiba and is one of the chosen to help Kaiba-sama to prevent a horrible fate from occuring. You're an up and coming duelist, far from a pro but definately talented. Either that or you had a streak of luck during the last couple of tournaments which got you into this situation.

 

Will the five cores be found and destroyed in time? What will happen when they are destroyed? Is this whole thing for real or is Kaiba-sama just using you for his own personal gain?

 

Everything shall be revealed in time!

 

 

 

also, if anyone would like to help me with planning this just holler at me. This would of course earn you a position as co-host for the RP itself :)

[Frybread002]

Idea: Nothing. It's totally fine the way it is.

 

Comments: ...Why the Maya and the Inca...??

 

Criticism: Okay...I -being the only Native American on YCM- find it a bit tiresome to see my south-of-the-border neighbors/ancesteral neighbors being used like this. Like, I have nothing against your story (and I literally applaud it), but it's just kinda getting tiresome for me as an Native American seeing "MY PEOPLE!!" being used like this. But that's just me, and me as an individual, so you probably shouldn't see this as any negative criticism, but not one day ago, I had just got done doing an essay for history about the Maya, Inca, and Aztec, so the info is pretty fresh, but I think it may help you sort some infomation down:

 

Okay, just to avoid re-doing my entire eassy here, I'll keep it short. But to some (if not many suprises to others), the Aztec, Maya, and Inca religion were all based off of astronomy and made their prophecy based off of the night sky. If the moon was next to the Mars, and not the sun (I'm just making random examples by the way), then it meant it was going to mark the end of winter. But if it was next to big dippers and not Jupiter, then it meant seasonal rains were comming.

 

In all honesty, the three tribes entire life were based off this concept. It was very rarely that they made "Direct" statements towards any civilization in the future, which would inclde Domino City. In fact, the calender that was invented by the Maya (the same one to predict the 2012 diaster thingy) only created to help keep track of the night skies. With that being said, anything that they saw in the stars/night sky, they'd basically were told what season was what, possible messages from their gods, and possible events regerding THIER civiliization. Not any others.

 

Example:

 

Come look for me and you shall be lost to the eyes of the world. Only by not looking shall you find my warning. I shall only be found when the time is nigh, only then shall I bestow you with my warning.

 

This could literally be interpreted as a advisor to some Mayan king about him not listening and eventually spelling doom to it's entire kingdom. Only because they used the stars to predict like that (and also because they were bad-aces.)

 

The king disbands his kingdom, the rising star falls. Unlike the game, the rest of the pawns shall fall if the first one stands. Eternal nights, snow tainted by crimson rain, the pawn must fall for the remaining to remain standing.

 

Then this can literraly relate to the fall of the Inca and Aztec. The Inca civilization was destroyed piece by piece, while the Aztec empire was first destroyed by the Spanish (with the help of local tribes), then eventually the local settlments within it's kingdom started to fall. Followed by the rest of the other smaller tribes.

 

In short, these are my only beef with this. But again, these are comming from a person who is rather tired of seeing the same, old, ancient native american tribe being used a plot. Like SERIOUSLY man!? What about the Anasazi? The Irouqies? The Inuits? I'm pretty sure they are feeling rather left out.

 

P.S. In short, and not to be rude or racist, but the way that you interprete the use of the Inca/Mayan plot was completely off. Like, I know it's completely off topic for what you are asking, but as a Native American, could you be a little bit original with what tribe you are using? I mean, the Mayan/Inca dooms-day prophecy has literally been done countless times by other people before.

[Master Red]

Wow dude, chill...

 

I knew it was probably off, I just wrote something so I could start to work on the beginning of the plot. I just wrote the words that came to me that I knew I could somehow connect to events that has occurred as well as connecting it to Domino itself.

 

quick rundown for you:

Look for me and disappear = Kaiba Seto

The First Pawn = Domino City

Rising Star = Yuki Judai

King that disbanded his kingdom = Mutou Yugi

 

I'll probably not even use this first draft at all and go with something completely different. If you want to know why EVERYONE uses Maya/Inca if they want to use native american tries it's probably because these two are the most famous and, in my case at least, don't know much at all about the others.

 

I'm not entirly sure I'll use the Maya/Inca at all. Like I said; this is all done just so I could write the first draft for it and I wasn't in the mood for actual research at the time. I knew what I wrote was probably off according to actual Mayan/Incan beliefs, but that was something I intended correct for later. Right now I'm in the stage where words need to go down on paper and then I can change it around so it fits and makes more sense. maybe I'm the only person that does this but I thought drafts were pretty common.

 

My personal reason for choosing them was because I instantly thought "EGYPT!" (it's yu-gi-oh so yeah...) but I didn't want to use that,after that I thought "Norse Mythology" (natural to me I guess) but I didn't want to use them either. Maya/Inca was the third thing that came to mind that I actually could and wanted to work with.

 

Also, if you think it's annoying that I base the plot from something out of "your heritage" then don't you think someone else might be equally annoyed/offended/blah if I use theirs? I bet you are proud of your heritage, you have every right to be, but you need to chill out about it. Just because I'm Swedish that doesn't mean I'm running about crying because people use the norse mythology for pretty much anything. Actually instead I take a bit of pride in it because people find the religion of the vikings intriguing enough to make books, movies, themes for card games, role plays etc. based on that (hell, the neighborhood I grew up in was named after the gods). I can often spot errors with things based on it (even though my knowledge is quite basic) but it's not like I'll go make a rant about it.

 

You have your opinion about this, you're entitled to it, I just wanted to say that I think you're kind of overreacting. I never meant any offense with my plot or anything, I'm probably one of the most open minded and least racist people you'll come across so if you've taken this as racism or something then you're totally off. Yes I was off when it came to the way I've used a prophecy but I intended to change it to fit to whatever I ended up using for it. Hell, I might even make up some civilization for it myself.

[StealthyTyranitar]

I was thinking of making an RP in which twelve recieve gems and must use them to stop a massive power. The gems give the holders powers.

[VGVentus]

^ Sounds like a good idea...

Hahahaha, I like you already. Your probably one of the few people who can defend their statements and stay at the same time neutral at the same time. Hahahah, but I think you should be the one to...oh, I dunno...Chill...??

 

Okay, being serious here:

 

My post had nothing to do with the fact that I'm Native American. It's far from it, and waay off topic. Besides, anyone who does know me, can vouch for me when I say I don't do anything without a clause. With that in mind, my real question for your is "What seperates this from other YGO plots that have the same as yours?"

 

I personally enjoy it when someone does take the time to write down their thoughts and all that juicy goodness, so after hearing the thoughts that went through your head, I got a bit more infomation, so I can I actually ask the write questions. (I wrote my heritage crap because I didn't have enough infomation about the overall planning of this, except for the plot of course.)

 

- I already repeated this, but to jog your memory again, what makes this "Stands out" from any other role-play that uses that "Inca/Mayan" plot?

(I already told you that they used astronomy as their center of religion, so that should've been your most obvious clue and helpful advice to you.)

 

- Are you going to be centered around the choosen civilization that you are using?

(What I mean by this, is basically simple; are you just going to adress the Inca/Mayan in the plot only? Or are you actually going to center the story around them? If you are just going to use them in the plot, then you can literally just say this "Oh! How how the Inca/Mayan involved with this? My boy! It's elementary! They predicted our doom and is starting to come true! So we are just taking measures to make sure that IT doesn't com true!"

Personaly, I always enjoy a story when I can actually learn something useful from it, and apply it to the real world. Like in the Yugioh, where they go to Egypt, and they gave a brief history of ACTUAL Egyptian history. Not really useful in real-life, but was something that I could come back to for future refrence.)

 

- This question is just one of those questions that should've be asked...but...well, how in the world are Native Americans supposed to interact with yugioh!? Like, this is just me being a dork...but where are the connections to it? Is it just one of those things that the reader shouldn't even care about, or are you going to actually explain the connection...??

 

Hope these help.

[Master Red]

what can I say, I'm Swedish we know how to be neutral :P

 

Well when you put it like that I understand where you're coming from but I have been feeling inclined to turn away from the actual maya/inca thing and use something else because I have noticed that it is being used more than I first thought it was :/ I might go with ancient roman/greek mythology instead as I know far more about that to begin with and I'm a dork when it comes to that mythology hahah :P

 

I think the RP will eventually turn to the countries where the Prophecy originated or that they somehow end up in that time.. or something of the likes. I'm not entirely sure yet. I have some things planned out in my head already but it's mostly just "perhaps" ideas at this point. I'll start out with coming up with a starting plot and then build from that. As of now I'm just developing back story and intro to the RP and after that I can dive deeper :)

[Aesirson]

*Swedish brofist*

 

So, no comments on the short plot I posted on the last page?

[King of Nothing]

Ok...I feel like i have to do this.

 

"I, Ghostmyth, being of the sound mind Native American culture, do hereby grant Master Red the permission to use any tribe for his rp plot and the rp itself. It is with this power, that Master Red must accept the fact that he doesn't need permiss...oh, he did? Cool. Alright, well...there you go"

 

Protip: Native Americans are Russian

 

Also, Red, love your idea =P

[Frybread002]

Well, technically speaking, we can be considered either Russian or Asian. But if you were to ask me, I'd rather be considered Russian. As they know how to put up some serious fights.

[Aesirson]

So, Red, are you posting the RP soon? =D

[Master Red]

@ghostmyth: bahahaha, I lol'd at that

 

I'm in a bit of a planning block so it'll be a while. I'm taking a short break from planning atm so I can get back to it with "fresh eyes"

 

I'm still uncertain whether or not to use some kind of native american tribe or not and I need to work out the story properly.

 

 

and yay, people really seem to be taking an interest for this RP ^^

[Frybread002]

My real only question for you freind, is you gonna heavily center around whatever civilization you are using? and what makes it standout from the rest.

[Master Red]

You asked that earlier and I said I couldn't answer that because I haven't gone that deep into planning yet. I don't even know for sure what I'll use for the prophecy's origin. That answer still remains as I'm currently kind of blocked....

[Dwarven King]

Red, Aesirson, both of your ideas seem pretty cool. You should totally go with them! ;D

[Hydra of Ages]

Disgaea RP.

 

Who'd be interested?

[Dwarven King]

Would you be so kinda as to explain what "Disgaea" means? Please and thank you. :3

[Hydra of Ages]

Ask and ye shall receive.

 

Main clips from that:

 

...All Disgaea games take place mostly in the "Netherworld", a parallel universe inhabited by demons where moral values are reversed from those of humans. Multiple Netherworlds exist, each with their own Overlord. Other areas include the human worlds, some of which shown to possess a futuristic level of technology (as seen in Hour of Darkness), and "Celestia", a heavenly realm inhabited by angels. Rather than being purely good or purely evil, inhabitants of the Netherworld and Celestia possess human-like qualities, but are swayed far more towards either moral extreme.

 

Main characters in the series often include cynical, power-hungry antiheroes forced to fight alongside heroic foils, much to their disdain.

 

The TV tropes page, for more trope-related information.

[VGVentus]

HELL. YES.

 

...I'd like a Disgaea RP...
