So the first question I have is well...what are we supposed to do?

I was under the impression that Zack and Kael would be staying seperate for at least the beginning of the RP, but I suppose I must've been misinformed or something. So I guess call me ignorant, but I didn't exactly catch the whole "point" of this RP from the sign up post either, what is going to be the purpose? Are we just going to sit there and talk about DD the entire game?

I hope not. I'm new to this story arc so all I hear is "blah blah blah DD blah blah blah Zack and Kael blah".

Well, Nat moved zack to Kael so I guess she decided not to go with the separate groups thing. I do not control every character, and part of the rpg, at this point I'm just trying to build a few events so that it can keep moving. I'm sure I must be boring the heck out of you all if you think my plot development is just pointless blather. What I intended with this rpg was a chance to use the generations characters, as well as a chance for other people to join in with their own new characters in a classic fantasy setting. I am not going to make it a let's journey across the world so we can get in to a major battle with one guy, because apparently that's quite boring overdone and ultimately pointless. I guess you must think this rp is pointless because like it or not my character, and his motivation do have a lot to do with dd, and so do quite a few others. At least at the start Kael does kinda have to deal with it, he cant just say, oh well non of my past happened i live in a new separate world where the sun shines and the birds chip and lets go on a merry pointless mob slaying adventure. Believe it or not I didn't really want this RP to concentrate completely on Kael, I just wanted to have a facet of it be about his story. I expected everyone else to have enough imagination to do something with their characters to give them a focus as well. I'm sure it's just the fever talking but I expected a few others to come up with their own villains and their own plot devices with in the world setting. (Judging by the fact that two peoples main characters are villains I say I wasn't that far off) This RP is supposed to be about the war between the great good and the great evil. It's supposed to be on a huge scale. Kael is supposed to be important and have a key piece in it, but he is not the only piece, it's not supposed to hinge totally on him. If he dies the great evil isn't just going to set back and let good win, and if he does give in to his darkness the great good isn't going to say "oh well the world is doomed" In fact he really doesn't care that much about saving the world as much as he does saving his sister and stopping the darkness in him from taking over his soul. So I'm sorry you both seem disappointed with this RP that is only 16 posts long. I'd be more apologetic but I have a freaking fever and a headache that has not left me for 6 freaking days. Next time I start a rpg i'll be sure and plot out every little detail of the direction and make sure if I re use any old characters they will all have amnesia so nobody has to deal with the fact that they have a past.

:doofus:

It's not that I think it's boring, I just don't understand it. It was like when I was trying to read the Outerworld stuff you guys did....It just made my brain hurt. A lot. :argh:

But I can deal.

I'm in the same boat, I can't make heads nor tales of this story, and whenever we screw something up you flip (a la Tom in NDD). And I've asked you numerous times to discuss with stuff with me, it just never happens.


I KNOW about the whole thing with Kael and stuff, and understand and respect that, but I just wanted to have a LITTLE bit of direction, so I'm not wandering around. But hey, lord knows I've done nothing but compromise for these last THREE RPs, I'll just continue silently.

... Bates if you are going to insult me please just come out and do it, you already think it gives you "awesome points" to do so, so please just do. I was going to go in to a long rant about how you don't seem to like what I do with any of my rpgs, but you know what? I just decided i don't really care. I really tried to you know give the world a setting some rules, tried to make it so that people could have something to build their characters on, but fuck it. Apparently trying to make something deeper then a world where there is magic is about as fun reading a chemistry text book.

Oh and the reason I flipped out on tom is because I fucking told him 4 fucking times what I was trying to do and he goes ahead and ignores me. Blatently totally and completly. He never bothered to listen to me and that half of the reason we are no longer as close as we were. There are other reasons but you know I doubt you would even care if I told you.

I'm really too sick to fight about this, and the more I think about it the worse I feel. So from this point FD is on hold. And for that matter I'm not going to be posting in any rps for the rest of this weekend. For that matter I'm so upset i may just drop everything till further notice. I really didn't want to inconvenience everyone, but i just decided my health is more important then weather or not you think this rp is going in the right direction.

I don't think that anyone's trying to insult you. We just want to know what we should do. I do admit, I feel a little directionless. But I kinda feel that way at the beginning of every RP. Don't take it as a personal attack.

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying didn't want the people in the RPG to join up into one big group? It sounds like that.

:huh:

I think you're getting a little hysterical over nothing here. I just asked about what kind of direction I and other players who are confused and/or don't know Kael should take in the RP, so I'm not going it alone for like 30 posts, which I want to avoid. Which is uh...oh yeah, why I asked. I've run ideas by you plenty of times in the past about what I want to do with my character in whatever RP, and usually it's ok. I didn't know I was going to strike a nerve with you over it.

Me asking a question isn't the same as me insulting you, if you think it is, then I feel sorry for you. I'm not going to apologize either, cause you're absolutely right, I DON'T like the way your RPs usually go. Now, I seldom speak my mind when something is annoying me, so pay attention. I join everyone usually after being asked by someone, and I figure "What the hell? Maybe this time it'll be fun."

"What the hell? Maybe this time my characters won't be ignored for the entire RP."
"What the hell? Maybe I won't be wasting my time if I spend 2 hours writing a post, cause people will actually react to it."

I DON'T like it, you're right. I hate the idea of a central character that the whole story revolves around. Nothing personal, but that's how some of your RPs seem to pan out. That's why when I asked to RETURN to NDD (that's right, I dropped right in the beginning if you don't remember), I introduced tons of new characters to get everyone involved, not just DD. I think it worked pretty well, I know Sean was happy with the Shiro/Cross/Stinger Rivalry, Natalie was happy with the return of Peter, and Jess was happy about being the chosen one of the clansmen. I'm sure you were happy about carrying out DD's role perfectly, too.

This time around, I wasn't going to play the same way I did in NDD and just provide fodder for all the main characters to cut through, I was mostly planning on going my own way, but after a while, everyone's already met up in the desert town, I saw no reason for it at THAT particular point.

Why should I bother writing post after post if no one is going to read it? And in just about...well...ALL of your RPs, that's what it feels like. "Then why don't you just not sign up?" I wasn't going to sign up for this, but I figured since I had already made the character for MD2004, I could be having a little fun with her. I hate leaving characters with no resolution, anyway, which is why I stuck around for LITD, as well. Forgive me for wanting to ease the experience for myself; I wasn't going to hurt your precious copyrighted DD.

Which is why I asked the question. I'm just trying to get myself out of the bind I find myself in many RPs. An announcement to other players that might be in the same boat as me and not quite understand what you posted in the sign up forum to say their peace (and apparently, there were a few), and then from there I'd probably have worked something out with them while the rest of the players would have been on their merry way about the main storyline until the groups met up.

In case you couldn't understand, or thought I was insulting you, here it is in plain English:

I don't want to get involved in the main DD story yet. Because I happen to think that it is boring. Therefore, I wanted to see if any other players would have wanted to group with me for a short while, my deepest apologies that I'm killing you over that.

If you're going to act like a baby about that truth, then I guess I'll just show myself out and drop.

I"m stepping in here. If you two want to go at it, do it on your own space and IM one another. Keep it out of the OOC forum. I will not hesitate to delete/warn/suspend/and even ban if this juvenile bullshit continues. Do you both understand me? GOOD!


Anyway, when I intro Lisa I'd like to collect whatever spare characters there are (Sakata, Gelf's character who's name escapes me, and Clara) into a group with her. That will compose the second group and we can work out their motivation/direction once we get them together.

Sounds good to me. I tried to go to the desert town, but i'm just friggin confused as to what now. Going up to them and say "Hi, I'm a pure manifestation of Hope in a human body, mind if I tag along on God-Knows-What?" sounds a bit retarded.

Heather, how long after the tourny does FD take place? I need to know how old my characters now are.

i set it at about one year give or take a few weeks. Kael was 15 when dee died 16 on the day of the tournament and he is now 17. Oh and I want you nat and sean to each play one of the villains I have. I'm working extra hard not to have this central to me and my characters ((I know they are rescuing jen, but i have not developed her more then a npc at this point and kael is hardly the only one who could, and he certainly can't do it alone)), and so far i am very very happy with the level this rp is at (^*^) I have to say you and Nat are two of my faveorite people to rp with.

Harbringer souds good to me. Do I get to make ANOTHER villain?

yes there will be 7 Harbringers. Each one is a new 7th level devoveo. I want nat you and jess to play one, I'm playing one maybe two, and we shall see for the other 3. They are part of a set of prophecies that kale DD and everyone in NDD was apart of. Some want to use kael some don't, each one has their own motives and desires, they don't even all like eachother, but all of them want to bring about the end of the world

I accept the responsibility of playing a villan.

and...

PLEASE hold Fire Destiny for me until I return. Thank you!!!!

God Sean! Why do you have to comment on EVERYTHING I do?!?! If you want an explination fine! 1. We're on a different planet from Earth. Whose to say the alhohol isn't different on a totally different planet. 2. a small person WILL get tipsy on one beer, no matter how used to drinking it they are. I won't name names, but I know from experience. 3. There's magic involved in this rp. Zack has altered DNA from other humans, and also, practically NO ONE is normal in this rp. So how his body handles alcohol is really up to me, since he's my character. Happy?

Unless I do something in my post that affects you directly, STOP WHINING! You've been picking on me a lot lately, and I want you to STOP IT! Because frankly, it's starting to PISS ME OFF! Did I do something to offend you? Because there's absolutly NOTHING in any of my posts that even involves your characters except for that very brief meeting Zack had with Lisa. PLEASE stop nit picking my posts. I don't not pick yours.

Now. To say something that's actually about the rp.


1. Where the heck is everyone? It's been dead for days.
2. Should we skip to morning? Or does someone have an event planned for evening?

I have been here waiting... and I am going to do the time warp. I shall do so asap.
