The Grand Crossover RP - Pathway to Origin [OOC/Apps Closed for Finale]

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Cally and Brian could be FFR's friends!

 

Also, if they were worried about staying together, they could have agreed to enter the same door =\

[Dwarven King]

Based on how Protheus explained things, it's safe to assume that they would believe that we aren't all going to walk through a door and be like "Hai guys!"

 

EDIT: Where is your character's app?

In a world where you could be anyone, one man dares to be himself."

 

Username: Final Fantasy Revolution

 

Name: Final Fantasy Revolution

 

Known Aliases: FFR, Final, Jonathan, The Gentleman, Final Fantasy Revelution, Senpai,

 

Age: Character too mysterious for age.

 

Gender: Male

 

Appearance: Since appearing in YCM: The Roleplay, Final Fantasy Revolution has undergone a costume change. His hair is mid-length, black and shaggy, eyes of crystal blue are hidden behind sunglasses, and a medium length brown-orange beard on his face. FFR wears a forest green cloak about his shoulders with three golden buttons on the right seam; appearing on the back is the Kanji for Senpai (先輩) written in gold. He wears broken in blue jeans held up with a black leather about and a long sleeve black shirt; on his feet he wears average looking sneakers that are black with dark blue strings. He also has an oak wood pipe that he sometimes uses to blow smoke, when it's beneficial.

 

Origin: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/234291-ycm-the-roleplay/?p=4905302

 

Biography: After thwarting the destruction of the web-universe known as Yugioh Card Maker Forum, Final Fantasy Revolution seemed to have disappeared for a long while. During the time in which he was gone from YCM, he wrote things for other websites and found a decent paying job. After writing for awhile and working for a longer while, he decided that he would come back to the world of YCM. Within the YCM world he had made a great discovery when he found the Grand Crossover Role Play. FFR knew to join in such an amazing world he would have to create a faux version of himself using his intense imagination and the all-mighty host approval.

 

Personality: Final Fantasy Revolution has a calm and caring nature and he has a great amount of patience to wait things out and plan for the best outcome he could make. Although he doesn't get angry easily, he will fight hard for the things he believes in and will defend someone who isn't or can't defend themselves. Despite having a good moral compass and strong moral ground, FFR has chosen to be Divine because the possibilities the door could bring are far too great for him to resist. When not discussing a serious matter, FFR has a whimsical attitude about him and his usually carrying a light smile.

 

Faction: Divine

 

Important Artifact Stolen: Blue Ink Pen and Small Notebook

 

[spoiler=Powers/Equipment:]

 

Oak Wood Pipe- FFR's oak pipe can produce a cloud of smoke to cover the battlefield as a distraction and form of defense.

 

Blade of Wonder- The blade about FFR's left hip can emulate any random move or ability from any universe. (Blade of Wonder has a cool down of two of FFR's posts, cool down only reduces if FFR is within his own form.) The sword is also unbreakable and not usable in any form other than his own form.

 

Amateur Sword Handling Abilites- FFR can handle a sword, but is in no way an expert.

 

Senpai Cloak- FFR's cloak bestows upon him an increased stat of strength and speed so as to keep up with the other characters within the Role Play. The cloak also emits a protection aura that reduces damage done to FFR while in his own form only.

 

Magical Golden Buttons

Within each of the buttons attached to FFR's cloak is the essence of a character created by FFR, this allows FFR to change into those characters upon pressing a button. Each transformation has a cool down rate of two of FFR's posts and character cool downs can only decrease while FFR is in his own form (I.E. FFR can change into Jisan Letriyou, but the cool down won't decrease if he enters another form after that other than his own form.) Each form only lasts for three posts maximum, FFR may terminate a transformation early but this will not reduce cool down penalty.

 

Button1: Vayne Krieger

Button2: Jisan Letriyo

Button3: Nashiki Omaragi

Here ya are, it's a couple posts back and hasn't been added to the first post yet.

[Dwarven King]

Ooo...very interesting!

 

What door did FFR go down again?

[Merci]

Decided on my fifth character for Arc IV a while ago. The app is a work in progress, but I might as well post this for now.

 

[spoiler=Kairi]"I'll stand by everyone to the end. I don't care what anyone has to say, we'll get through this!"

 

Username: Phantom Roxas

 

Name: Kairi

 

Age: 20

 

Gender: Female

 

[spoiler=Appearance]

 

Origin: Organization XIII club roleplay series

 

[spoiler=Biography]Prior to the Origin War, Sora and Kairi were engaged to be married. Kairi, as a Keyblade Master, served as one of the knights under Sora, acting as his second-in-command. However, there came a day when Sora was presumed missing after Hades and the Horned King attempted to ravage the worlds with undead forces. Though Kairi fought alongside many others in an attempt to destroy them once and for all, over the course of the battle, the undead fell down, leaving most to believe that they could only thrive long enough to defeat Sora.

 

Kairi, however, refused to believe that Sora was lost. Because of this, she was selected by Ophelia and Sykes as a potential opponent for Xansvita, the Familiar of LERNA who had assumed control over Sora. Kairi found herself in the Sphere Forest, confused, but still persistent in hoping that Sora could be found. It was only when Xansvita was defeating that Kairi had managed to reunite with Sora. Now, she is working with the Counter Corps, hoping to aid Sora in the final battle against the Divine.

 

Personality: Kairi holds her friends close to heart, and would put her life on the line if it meant saving them, and the only thing that would stop her is that she would do anything to ensure that both she and Sora can survive the Origin War and return home. Throughout her adventures, she has learned that people can deserve a second chance, and if she believes someone has good in their heart, she will try to reach out to that side of them in the hopes of them realizing the error of their ways, even if Kairi suspects that the person would be unwilling to change. If someone were to prove that they are beyond saving, though, she would not hesitate to fight them.

Faction: Counter Corps

 

Important Artifact Stolen: Kingdom Hearts

 

Powers/Equipment: Contrary to the Keyblade shown under her Appearance, Kairi wields the Keyblade. With it, Kairi can cast Firaga, Blizzaga, Thundaga, Curaga, Aeroga, Graviga, Magnega, and Reflega. Additionally, she has access to the Command Styles Diamond Dust and Spell Weaver, which can be activated if she successfully uses at least three of her spells against an enemy. While using either Command Style, Kairi can further activate the Bladecharge command style, surrounding her Keyblade with an aura that is twice as long as she is tall, increasing the range of her attacks, without adding any extra weight to the Keyblade. Finally, she can use Drives, allowing her to fuse with up to two people, enhancing her own abilities, while also granting her limited access to those of the people she fused with.

 

LOVE THE ART

 

Alright then, she doesn't seem OP'd or anything and we've already established her presence back in Arc 3, so really, why not~? ACCEPTED!

[Phantom Roxas]

Hurray! And yeah, figured that with all of my NPCs, she would make the most sense. Not worth bringing in a new character anyway, and writing more scenes with her and Sora should be fun.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Ooo...very interesting!

Remembrance

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

"This is The Jaws of Hell reporting in. Protheus Maximus will be murdered; I can assure you of it..."

Username: Admiral_Stalfos19
Name: The Jaws of Hell
Age: 3... days.
Gender: "ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!!

ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!! ERROR!!

Rebooting..."
Appearance: The Jaws of Hell is a 96 foot tall Mech which weighs in at a whopping 108 tons and is heavily armoured. He takes the form of a great white shark with arms and legs, and what appears to be a hole in his tail. This "hole" is actually the barrel of one of three MWG-GS/54 auxillary cannons that The Jaws of Hell is equipped with, the other two of which are in his forearms. These cannons function more like giant shotguns, but can rip entire Mechs apart when fired at point-blank range. Also on The Jaws of Hell are several missile bays on its forearms, shoulders, tail, feet and "dorsal" fin, which all house CWR-HECTOS rockets, and boosters of multiple varieties on its elbows, feet and "dorsal" fin. The ones on his elbows are MTB-OX/E9 boosters for maximum efficiency, whilst the one on the underside of the "dorsal" fin is of the CBT-FLEET variety for maximum power. Both the smaller MTB-NI/MARE boosters on the heels and the larger MTB-OX/002 boosters on the soles of the feet have a mixture of both, and prove useful for taking off into the air AND rapidly reducing the speed at which he descends to the ground at once. The combined power of all these boosters is more than enough for acrobatic movement despite the weight and heavy armour, but even the MTB-OX/E9 boosters can burn through a lot of fuel, especially considering that The Jaws of Hell is thrice the size that he was when Azumi first brought him with her into Isamy's Castle. Furthermore, The Jaws of Hell is slow without these boosters active. Finally, The Jaws of Hell is riddled with KWG-FTL450 flame-throwers, which don't deal much damage to other Mechs, and as such are primarily used as purely anti-personnel weapons. These flame-throwers are more heavily garrisoned around vital components than elsewhere on the body, and automatically ignite when enemies attempt to sabotage The Jaws of Hell, burning the offenders into a crisp.
Origin: Rouge Syndicate I
Biography: Azumi and Riley had an epic adventure across the multiverse in the new and improved Jaws of Hell, and Bender tagged along for the ride. That's all you get to know for now :P
Personality: That's right, The Jaws of Hell actually has a personality now.
Faction: Neutral
Important Artefact Stolen: A satellite that was used by the totalitarian government of Azumi's universe to spy on the citizens of Sinatra City. It was blown up by said transgendered lady since she, Riley, Bender and Jecht infiltrated Isamy's Castle to take back O'Riley's Book of Demons... among other things.

So I told you to watch this space and viola, now we have an app for The Jaws of Hell. It's incomplete at the moment, but I'll get back to it as soon as I've posted.

"What say you, Gabriel? Shall we give these naughty Divine a good spanking?"
"More than that, if you ask me."
"Hmm~! Didn't think you to be that kind of guy...."

Username: Kingdom Xathers

Name: Bayonetta (real name: Cereza)

Age: At least 600 (born December 19, 1411), but physically appears to be in her late 20s/early 30s

Gender: Female

[spoiler=Appearance]

Origin: "Bayonetta" Universe

Biography: Isamy had stolen Bayonetta from her universe while the Umbra Witch had been sealled inside of Jubileus' Left Eye. This act caused Jubileus to go berserk and destroy their world, and subsequently led to Jeanne joining with the Counter Corps in the hopes of rescuing Bayonetta. During this time, Bayonetta was sealed within Isamy's Artifact Vault along with many other living/self-aware captives, one of these being a man named Gabriel. whose soul Isamy had sealed inside a lion plushie. Not long after being captured, Bayonetta and Gabriel began a friendship of sorts, somewhat helped by Bayonetta's love of stuffed animals.

During the second Arc, Bayonetta was able to establish a communications connection between the Vault and The Gates of Hell bar--and by extension, the rest of the Counter Corp--in preparation for an escape route out of Isamy's Vault. However, Isamy's servile, animated suit of armor, Viligance, had caught wind of this and attempted to use this connection Bayonetta had created in order to infiltrate the Corps' base. (Un)Fortunately, Sayer and his R.O.D.s intervened before Viligance could forcibly coerce Bayonetta to agree to this scheme, instead presenting the armor with his own personal method utilizing the R.O.D. Network. This spared Bayonetta from being an accomplice, but still left her with a bit of dread and worry for those on the Counter Corp side, as well as a hint of doubt about their escape plan. Some time after that, with the assistance of a living spellbook named Cheato, the captives utilized a spell that would render any R.O.D. Sayer had left behind in the Vault disabled, preventing him from peering into the Vault any longer and allowing them to proceed with their escape plan without fear of being spied on. Shortly after, Bayonetta contacted Rodin to tell him the news... and was distraught by the news he gave in return: Jeanne had expired during her fight against the Witch, LERNA....

Despite her sadness, Bayonetta hid it away as best she could as she and the other captives worked to make their escape, picking up any artifacts that could be of any use to them. Luckily, they managed to come across the spaceship dubbed "And With Strange Aeons"--complete with its own crew, and led partly by a young woman named Atsuko Fudo (a girl that Gabriel was familiar with). Lending a hand, Bayonetta assisted in restoring the ship's Numeron Drive, which finally allowed the ship to leave the Vault, taking with it the Vaults prisoners and all of the artifacts that remained. As the End Game approaches, Bayonetta lends her assistance to the Counter Corps' cause, aided in part by the toy-like Gabriel, in the hopes of restoring their worlds, and saving those that were lost....

Personality: Bayonetta can be seen as a calm character whose approach to her deal with Inferno is one of casual disregard. Often treating her weapons as mere tools to get the job done, save for her favorite set of guns, she appears to enjoy her situation as a way to vent her hidden sadistic nature. She rather enjoys fighting angels in a playful yet brutal manner and she maintains her cool even when up against powerful angels such as the Auditos. She sometimes comes off as callous and nonchalant towards others (in a toying, flirtatious way), though is really much more caring and concerned for their well-being. Bayonetta also cares about her clan deeply, especially her fellow Umbra Witch and friend, Jeanne. If push comes to shove, she would even be willing to go to Inferno/Hell itself just to save a friend. Bayonetta tends to enjoy using her sexuality as a means to an end in more instances than not, whether it's dealing with enemies or otherwise certain individuals that have captured her interest.

Faction: The Counter Corps

Important Artifact Stolen: Herself, or rather, The Left Eye of the World.

[spoiler=Powers/Equipment:]

Pact with Madama Butterfly: All Umbra Witches make a pact with a demoness which resides in the realm of Inferno, who grants them great strength and wisdom at the cost of their soul upon death. Madama Butterfly is one such demoness. Bayonetta is able to call upon her power when in the heat of battle, normally manifesting parts of her limbs to attack during combos, but can also be manifested fully. She also forms Bayonetta's shadow when it is cast and her wings are used to give the witch an extra boost in height when she jumps, as well as gliding short distances.

Summon Infernal Demon: Bayonetta is capable of calling upon other Demons from Inferno in addition to Madama Butterfly. Normally, she reserves these for particularly powerful foes.

 

Bullet Arts: A fighting style that was developed and utilized by the Umbra Witch Clan, combining melee attacks and gunfire, often with firearms equipped to both hands and feet. It allows the fighter to execute strings of fast paced moves as well as combine them with the use of Wicked Weaves.

The Bullet Arts also allows the fighter to become efficient at any weapon they happen to come across using the same configuration of hands and feet, explaining Bayonetta's efficiency in being able to execute various attacks with different weapons as well as utilize the Angel Arms and other enemy equipment she can pick up.

Wicked Weaves: Bayonetta uses her hair as a conduit through which she summons demons. Normally this comes in the form of Madama Butterfly throwing in punches and kicks during Bayo's attack combos, but energy blades can also be produced depending on the weapon Bayo is wielding at the time.

Witch Time: An ancient art used by powerful Umbra Witches to slow down time to fraction of its normal pace, allowing them to bypass their opponent's defenses and execute combos and feats that would otherwise be impossible. For the sake of this RP, this will count 1 second of real time as roughly 3-7 seconds of Witch Time. Bayonetta is capable of using this ability any time she dodges an attack, or when she initiates "Bat Within".

Torture Attacks: (Note: For now, I'll have it so that Jeanne will only use these on minor monsters/enemies. Otherwise, this is more for flavor.)

Love is Blue: A new set of handguns crafted by Rodin for Bayonetta's use, replacing her previous Scarbarough Fair handguns.

 

Shuraba: a living demonic katana with quick and agile attacks that deal modest damage and has sweeping range. It is also capable of shooting energy slashes and possesses a secret energy beam attack. Its combos, abilities, speed, and damage make it a well-rounded melee weapon.

Alruna: A pair of "whip boots", this weapon has excellent reach, allowing Bayonetta to attack hordes of enemies at once with 360-degree spinning kick attacks.

Kafka: A demonic bow stylized after dragonflies. Kafka can quickly fire arrows in rapid succession at an enemy but also has the ability to charge its attacks to increase damage. Targeted enemies hit by the arrows will be poisoned and will suffer extra damage. The target's movement will also be slowed and the its attacking damage will be reduced.

Undine: A pair of leg-mounted elemental launchers that can switch between fire and ice elements. Though somewhat slow, strikes made with these weapons are rather strong. They can also shoot out a long stream of fire which causes lingering damage, or a shorter spray of ice that can freeze enemies.

Beast Within: Bayonetta is capable of transforming into a panther, a crow, and a flock of bats.

Moon Walk: No, not the dance move. This is an ability of the Umbra Witches that allows them to walk along any surface at any angle, but only when exposed to the light of the moon.

Out-Of-Body: In order to do battle with the occasional spirits/whatever that reside in the parallel world of Purgatorio/Spirit World/whatever, Bayonetta has the option of separating her soul from her body via Astral Projection (normally, she could simply step through a portal into the parallel world, but that ability seems to be on the fritz). While in this state, her physical body is left prone, a somewhat fragile barrier being the only thing guarding her (This barrier takes roughly 10-15 strikes of average strength to break through, more hits for weaker attacks/sustained gunfire, and between 2-3 for the heaviest of attacks). Bayo also runs the risk of having her soul dragged to Inferno prematurely while in this state, so she can only use this ability for 3-5 minutes at a time, though she usually gets the job done before then, so she doesn't have to worry about that... much....

Gabriel: The soul of a luchadore sealed within a lion-plushie. In reality, Gabriel was once known as "Magnum Opus Knight - Rubedo the Holon", one of a group of four knights who once lived during the height of Atlantis' prosperity. As a (former) member of the Magnum Opus Knights, he possesses a strong affinity for Alchemy. Though his body is that of a stuffed animal, he nonetheless joins with Bayonetta in the Corps' fight against the Divine, and more importantly, against Sayer, the man who killed him....
Gabriel is able to act as an amplifier of sorts, boosting a character's magical powers two-fold, at the very least, as well as regenerating their mana/magicka/MP/etc.. Especially in Bayonetta's case, where he can allow Bayonetta's Wicked Weaves to hit up to 4 times in quick succession. He can also extend the duration of certain abilities that have a limited period of activity.
Another ability he possesses is being able to transmogrify himself into a longsword with alchemical abilities:
(These first three abilities must be switched manually, and cannot occur in any combination at the same time unless Rubedo is active)
Nigredo: Slashes made can corrode/decay what is struck.
Albedo: Slashes can purify evil/corrupted/decaying entities, erupting in an explosion.
Citrinitas: Attacks with the sword will restore health or magic proportionate to the damage inflicted.
Rubedo: A Limit Break that combines all the powers of the first three, while boosting greater power. It is said to be able to purify even those with blackest of hearts. After a minute or so, however, Gabriel turns back into his plushie form, rendering his other abilities nullified momentarily and forcing him to rest.

Hmmm, she seems alright. I mean, her powers aren't too different from Jeanne's, and really, why not? Accepted~

[Jolta]

Page 250 already?

 

Still accepting for Arc IV?

 

If so, do you mind if I revive Gin Furukawa and his familiar? Or are they gone for good?

 

I also have plans to introduce another character.

[Merci]

Well, it would've been about twice as long but most of our discussions nowadays is contained in the Skype chat.

 

If so, do you mind if I revive Gin Furukawa and his familiar? Or are they gone for good?

Uhh...

[spoiler=The Fates of Gin Furuwuka and Otto Penelope Joltingson]

 

Gin Furukawa had lost consciousness for a while.

"Why... how is that... Tamae, let us catch up..."

 

Gin noted his twin blades on the ground, picked them up and ran forward, bumping into another person.

 

"You... one of the Counter Corps. What might your name be?" Gin questioned.

 

"Otto. Otto Penelope Joltingson," she introduced before hinting towards her dragons. "Osiris, Dioscuri. Anyways..."

 

Behind her, there were a horde of black-hued pygmy dragons. Gin knew what to do. By raising 'her' blades, summoning a fusion of pink and blue to shield the girl and 'her'. As the dragons fired their attacks, Gin made a temporary opening, summoned a chrome-hued sphere and used it to defend against the attacks. As the chrome-hued sphere altered in hue to black, he redirected a blame flame at the opponent.

 

"Tha- that was amazing! Let's be friends," Otto smiled.

 

"Very well then. Let us cooperate. We require stealth. Tamae, carry me," Gin smiled.

 

"Very well, Gin," Tamae spoke while carrying Gin in her arms before hovering up. Otto, too, boarded Osiris and flew up high.

 

"I am unskilled in Aerial combat," Gin spoke, "how about you?"

 

"I'm self-trained. Does that mean I'm in charge?" Otto questioned.

 

"I s- suppose I have no choice," Gin blushed before turning away.

 

"We are close to the battlefield," Otto spoke, "pay attention."

 

.

.

.

 

Here, the only story to be told cannot be put into words.

 

A suddenly overwhelming amount of dragons descended from the skies as their smaller brethren were slain.

 

Otto's failed attempt to attempt to communicate with the void dragons ended in her and her dragons losing their lives. All of the Joltingson family research betrayed in an instant, just like that.

 

As for Gin, he never got a chance to draw either Senbonzakura or Kago no Tori before the creatures rushed him, tearing him apart with blood splattering everywhere in front of Tamae, his familiar.

 

The five-thousand-year-old familiar fled as far away as possible. To reach the battlefield and find another Counter Corps member. To find help, Emiya or otherwise. To find a solace to all this. However, as to be expected, she found nothing. Nothing but her own screams as the dragons caught up with her.

 

That is all.

 

 

Sorry, I don't think that you'll be able to revive them~ But you can still make new characters if you want, though you'll have to hurry as apps will be closing in a few days.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Whoa, you actually did that, Bailas.

 

I thought you were joking.

 

thankies

If anyone asks how I made a 10,202-word length post and started Arc IV... well, my hand slipped. Anyway, rejoice, for the long wait has finally bore fruit! =D

 

THE PATHWAY TO ORIGIN IS NOW OPEN! WHAT AWAITS US IS AMAZING CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND THE ULTIMATE CONCLUSION TO THIS ONE-YEAR-OLD GRAND ROLEPLAY!!! NOW THEN, GO! GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO GO...

 

Welp, as for the maps~[spoiler=The Pathway to Remembrance]

 

 

[spoiler=The Pathway to Death]

 

 

[spoiler=The Pathway to Truth]

 

 

Note: Horizontally, each panel is 100 meters, and vertically, they're 500 meters. The distance to the end of the Pathway is 7km, and from left to right, it's 500 meters.

 

I'll edit the front page in a little while so that you'll be able to find the maps there later, but for now, just see them here~

 

The maps aren't necessarily detailed and do not represent the entirety of what it looks like, but they're just there to give you a general idea and position things, as well as fuel the imagination a little better. Remember to list the positions of each of your characters at the top (or bottom) of each of your posts.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Heh, Truth Map hasn't been up after all these weeks.

[Final Fantasy Revolution]

Twenty hundred and fifty pages in the OOC and almost seventy posts within the IC thread, it certainly has been a ride and there has definitely been many twists and turns and ups and downs. With that being said, it's with a heavy heart that I am telling you all now that this post is my official resignation from the Grand Crossover Role Play. I've had fun with you all and am compelled to say that all of you are very creative people and I wish you the best with finishing up this role play like I know you all will.

With that, all my current characters should be considered to have died within their first respective pathways(Arlene's being Truth), someone may take over Sesshomaru if they'd like, but Arlene and FFR may not be taken over.

[Merci]

Oh, I've got free time? Hurray! Now then, time to update everything I haven't been able to update in the past few months, starting with...!

Allow me to repeat myself yet again, even if by now it's a little redundant. Due to the rock-paper-scissors-laser nature of this RP and the even larger amount of apps, I focus primarily on sheer power in tandem with the skillset and overall experience/intelligence. Hence, just because one character is of a lower tier, doesn't mean that they can't defeat a higher tier. This should be oobbvvviioouusss by now, you know~

Well, if I missed something and you want to point it out OR if you have any protests and believe that your character should be in a different tier, feel free to say so.

...Now then, next on the list: the main page (I expect yet another big nightmare with the coding), the character list (hopefully it doesn't break on me), Protheus's application (so you guys know what to expect if you engage him in combat), and of course an actual post in the IC thread (whoa, it's been over two months since my last one?).

[Maeriberii Haan]

Well, it's been due for far too long, but here's the status update. Big thanks to Phantom Roxas for doing most of it, as I'm just finishing what he has started.
 
(Inactive) means that the character hasn't posted in page 68 onwards. Legally dead characters didn't get this tag because it'll just be superfluous.
Green name means the character has recently posted. Brick Red is for inactive characters. Red is for characters whose player has posted recently, but either the characters themselves haven't gotten a post in recently, or haven't done anything on the pathway, or needs to respond to another character. Characters that's currently in the White Room that is not listed as inactive is marked as blue.
|RTD| stands for each of the Pathways. Whenever a character clears a pathway, the corresponding letter will be marked as blue.

If we get any of this wrong, please tell us.
 
Thank you, and continue your journey~

[Merci]

Ah, finally, the status update appears. Very much appreciated, Risa and Roxas~ Hopefully this'll be able to clear out some confusion and encourage more interaction between the users as they advance onwards.

 

Though you know, it might be easier if you moved all the people who've already completed a Pathway and are in a White Room into their own separate section - especially considering that there's a fair few of those in all three - just to make the three Pathway sections appear a little more straightforward. So we have Death, Truth, Remembrance, and those in the White Room.

 

...

 

Oh, and Draconus confirmed to me a little while ago that he quit, so you can mark his characters as either deceased or unclaimed.

 

As for me, expect my next post any minute now.

[Phantom Roxas]

The listing of the characters in the White Room was mainly to keep them listed under one Pathway, in case they entered another Pathway before the Status Update was finished. That said, you're right, a separate section for the White Room could work.

 

Well, my characters form the majority of the active players who have yet to post, so hopefully I'll be able to do that soon.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Alright then, following Merciful's suggestion, I have created another segment titled White Room for characters that are currently there. Also updated the status for Draconus's characters.

[Dwarven King]

Hi guys! I apologize for my disappearence! Internet went off for a few days due to some mishap with the provider. By the time it was back on, I had a new job and I had realized that some time away from the internet was something I desperately needed. Thus, the laptop gathered dust.
