Welcome to Gaia! ::

exclaim Notice: This is not the story we will be starting out with. It is just a place to keep story ideas for futrue reference.

In order to help the progress of our RP, I have decided to write a game storyline for use at any time in the RP. Of course I would appreciate input from all the mods and users.

I will be posting a draft Wednesday(?) afternoon. Until then, please feel free to post free-range with any ideas or opinions you might have.

Thanks! -Takako heart

Brainstorming thoughts: "Shadow of the Scouring" theme continues. How is this story related to dragons, the 8 heroes, and the legendary items? Who is the enemy? Why are we gathering to fight?

>>11.10
I was thinking about who our enemy is, as far as the main quest is concerned. In the "Lyn's Story" of Rekka, there was just a mini-villain and not the actual villain of FE7 so the "real enemy" is not pertinent to the initial tutorial run.

I was thinking of maybe a SnK (Souma no Kiseki) type monster? Perhaps it was a result of dragon magic attempting to fight the humans, but abandoned when they lost the Scouring. Some evil person (a lord or marquess? A magician like Nergal?) could have found the monster and used it to do his/her bidding for a time. Back in the realm of Dragons, the dragons have discovered that their monster is under human care and start using the monster as a medium to start controlling the will of the human master of the monster. As they control him/her, he begins to wage meaningless war and turning countries against each other.

Well, I think that's a good idea, anyway. sweatdrop What do you guys think?

Fu-chan suggested a new idea for the support system. I do think it's a good idea to have characters interact, but I don't know if it would compromise the "FE-ness" of the RP...

Anyway... I'm trying to think of ways to make the story relate to the Scouring a bit more ~__~; Not like dragons, but like.. the power struggle between the countries. The politics... like how Bern was the bad guy in Fuuin, I'm wondering... maybe a civil war in Lycia, kind of like Rekka but to a larger extent? Like Ostia against a bunch of other cities... =/ And they could recruit armies from Etruria, Ilia, Bern, etc.

Yes, I thought Of something similar.

A "villain" is required (though that does not have to be apparent straight away) , and a leader too...

Then a descison on who starts off and who joins when. Unless we all start off at the same time in the same army?

A driving force is required, then all other inventions can come from the characters, or plots added on. A sort of Quest needs to occur, I.e. to hunt for the legendary weapons? Perhaps a simple one (i.e. Some Lord traveling home) that changes into a struggle for the world?

Sadly, I've only played the one game, which means I know of only the one storyline. Im guessing that most of the time people arent trying to bring back Dragons?

Perhaps there can be a force, trying to conquer the newly formed countrys while there in turmoil, and the "group" can be part of an army formed to stop them. Any excuse to bring some ancient religion fanatics in..

Anyway, sorry for the long post. I'll see what you do on Wednesday! (which is today strangely eek )

Well first of all, just to keep everyone informed, the first Main quest that will happen in SOTS is allready prepared... Not that we want to -control- everything, it will only be like Lyn's story in RnK. It will allow us to test the systems and see what we can correct: NO characters will die in the first main quest, but if they are taken down, they won't be able to fight anymore for the rest of the quest.

Correct 3nodding People can talk, but that's it.

=/ I already knew that there was another plot being used for the test. My point is that I want to have a bunch of ideas lying around because we're going to need them at some point.

No, that unfortunatly will not be possible as it would be greatly unfair for the rest of the people. Supports always begins at rank D (which means nothing). But if you knew someone for a long time, or "love" the person, then your support levels will go up faster. (Just like Eliwood and Hector Support went up much faster than say... Raven and Wil)

March-kun, by saying "the RP is ready," you mean the "Lyn's Story" part only, right?

The "Lyn's Story" part of Rekka was pretty much a self-contained story from the rest of the game, so how much will the RP's "Lyn's Story" pertain to the rest of the RP?

I'm mostly thinking about the main phase of the RP at this point. sweatdrop

o_o; I was referring to Rekka as the game, but okay. I know what you mean, anyway. So when you say "the RP is ready," you mean that just the mechanics and data are ready, or the story as well?

Yeah, that would be kinda cheap. Pent and Louise were an extremely special case anyway, and they don't come with automatic A support with every mode.
