Yet I have an idea for a gamebox I wanna try to run. I saw an RP many months ago based off my first and probably still one of my favorite MMOs, Ragnarok Online. It had some interesting ideas, but the way-
-the mods ran the story, it just felt forced. And then while they held pretty close to the class system, doing that made doing the jamjar panfandom character importing rather clunky.
I kinda want to take a shot at doing something like that myself.
The story would start in the game setting prior to the destruction of Morroc. The players would be brought in by a secret organization run by both Kafra and Cool Event, which would later be joined by Cat Paw.
But the group would be aware that something has been going VERY strangely awry in the world and would be using a deus ex machina powered by a Ymir fragment to bring the PCs in.
Events/story would be pushed along when a higher-up member of the organization points out some things to investigate. Otherwise, players could explore the world.
For character translation, everyone would come into the world as a completely basic human. Then the whole class-translation with a twist. First off, some class skills could be added from other trees to suit a-
character better. For example, Roxas could progress up the Swordsman tree to Knight, but then as a Knight, take the Assassin's Left/Right Hand Mastery skills to dual-wield. Still working out specifics.
And then to further customize the player closer to their original spec, items/gears/cards could be combined by their secret organization buddies to make stuff to suit their abilities.
Like Ragna could bring a buncha stuff to have an Accessory made that gives him the Soul Drain ability from his attacks... which would again(Per canon), basically replace his arm.
That's mostly the stuff that I've come up with so far. RP events would include an altered chain of events that would leave up to the destruction of Morroc, the opening of the Dimensional Gorge and other stuff.
Thoughts, notes, accusations of madness?
