Title: A show of hands, please?
Jounin Elite - March 5, 2007 11:48 PM (GMT)
Alright, this is important. At least, it is to me, though it doesn't affect this forum in the least.
Recently, I've been contemplating the creation of an RPG forum. No, not a Naruto RPG, it'll quite likely have it's own original story. No, this RPG will not replace JE, (I hope :P) but if it becomes successful, it probably will become an affiliate. Anyway, I'm looking for somewhere between 3-5 good RPers who have time to commit without taking much time away from other boards they may be on.
I don't mean the people who will post their RP posts without capital letters, commas, quotation marks, etc. I mean the actual good ones, who are at least around my level, and I'm not even all that great of one. I just have enough time to keep ours moving :P.
But anyway, yeah, I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me. I have a tentative story, but I have no names or anything.
So there's this typical bad guy lair sort of thing, and it's hidden, of course. And he has those sort of mini-boss minions, each of which rules over a small nation of the world which is being controlled by the big bad guy. Each of these guys has some special, one of a kind weapon, each of a different type, and when defeated, you can purify these weapons and use them to beat the big bad guy. (Typical sort of thing :P)
Of course, the members, as the adventurers will be fighting battles and traveling to beat that guy, of course. There may be shops and stuff, and with that, a money system. The moderators may have characters, I guess, but they shouldn't be involved in whichever part of the RPG they moderate.
There'll definitely be more to come after that, but that's just the first part, I suppose.
So... any takers/ideas? I hope there wasn't too much confusing stuff in there.

Whoa that'd be sweet. Sounds a lot like Air Gear without the rollerskates.
I'm running my own Naruto form now, and its actually decently active with more than 100 members in a month, but I'm sure I could make time for something like that.
I'm an advanced rper, and I've been playing for almost a year, but I'm still pretty good.
Let me know if you need my help!
Rock Lee The Hero - March 6, 2007 12:05 AM (GMT)
I'd love to help. :D I'd consider myself a pretty good RPer, and as most people know i'm on this site almost constantly. Let me if I can help with anything. I can even try to come up with ideas if you want.
Jounin Elite - March 6, 2007 12:16 AM (GMT)
Good to see some people are interested. I'll look around at some of your RPG posts. Actually, Sky, could you post a generic one? I'm not sure if I've seen you in the RPG lol.
Anyway, I have a tentative list of names for the places. A lot of them are at least half from runescape XD. I think that other than those, the few remaining names are from one of the Fire Emblem games :P.
-Tropical: Karjama
--City: Brimhaven
--Jungle: Kharazi
--Sage’s home: Karjama Volcano
--Fruit trees
-Tundra: Trollweiss
--Mountain Range: Trollweiss Mountains
-- City: Catherby
--Sage’s Home: White Wolf Mountain
--Mining camp
-Desert: Jehanna
--Desert: Jehanna Sands
-- City: Bedabin
--Sage’s Home: Sophanem Pyramid
--Scorpion Chasm
-Woodlands: Darkland
--Woods: Darkland Woods
--City: Rimmington
--Sage’s Home: Darkland Swamps
--lumber yard
-Aquatic: Elid
--Seaside: Khazard
--City: Sarim
--fishing docks
--sage’s home: Isfadar Sea
-Boss’s home: Crandor
--dungeons
--boss’s room
I'd love it if I could get some ideas for the character names. I'd need names for the 5 sages and mini bosses, along with a name for the big bad boss guy :P.

I'll be right on it!.... I just have to think about it, just give me some time. :P Btw if you look at my posts, look at the more recent ones. i use to be a big noob to Rping. :lol:

Rock Lee The Hero - March 6, 2007 01:08 AM (GMT)
Ideas for names of the five sages:
1st sage: Torii- is a traditional Japanese gate commonly found at the entry to a Shinto shrine.
2nd sage: Tamamo
3rd sage: No
4th sage: Mae -these names combined are a legendary figure in Japanese mythology.
5th sage: Gohei- are wooden wands, decorated with two shide (paper streamers) used in Shinto rituals.
Just suggestions... there just a start. I'm just trying to make connections to the ouside world to make it alittle fun. :P (Tell me if i shouldn't do this... -_- )
Jounin Elite - March 6, 2007 01:13 AM (GMT)
It's cool. I did that with a lot of the Academy teachers. Muchuu means loopy or something like that, and she's an out of it character :P.
Thanks a lot, it's really helpful. Lol, Sage No XD.
I just realized I need to think of a name for the hypothetical board :P.

Jinchuuriki - March 6, 2007 01:22 AM (GMT)
I think I'm a pretty good RPer, it's up to you. :D
Kazekage - March 6, 2007 01:57 AM (GMT)
I have many ideas I'm willing to share, I have much experience RPGing at a familiar place, and I'm willing to help as long as I am acknowledged, nothing more, nothing less, it's all I ask for this help I can offer.I was thinking of a man who I was thinking could be very...talented... in war or skirmishes, and I'd be willing to discuss this with you.Please pm me if you need anything else.And I think I know where you got the name 'Jehanna' from, in fact, I know the name very, very, well...
Chopstix - March 6, 2007 01:59 AM (GMT)
I would love to help, Would you like samples of my best RP'ing?
Jounin Elite - March 6, 2007 03:04 AM (GMT)
@ Chop: That'd be great.
-JE-
Sujine - March 6, 2007 03:20 AM (GMT)
I'll help! I really have nothing to do these days since ski season has finished up! You've seen me RP, haven't you JE?
Chopstix - March 6, 2007 03:20 AM (GMT)
Jounin Elite - March 6, 2007 03:56 AM (GMT)
@ Sujine: Yeah, I have :P.
@ Chop: Thanks.
So far, and I'm just going by people who have posted in this topic and have shown me sample RP posts/I've seen RP.
The best ones I've seen in order...
So far I'm going with Chopstix, And then RLTH, Jin, beat, and Sujine are around the same lol. Hmm.... :P
Edit: Sky's quite good too, having read a sample.
-JE-
ultimate_chakra_eyebrows - March 6, 2007 10:01 AM (GMT)
I may only be a n00b to this forum but im quite a good RPer i will send you a link to see what im like if you really want. Other than that i have been RPing for a good one and a half years and your ideas sound quite cool
OOC: btw rock lee the hero is a great rpg moderater
Kazekage - March 6, 2007 11:48 AM (GMT)
I sent you a sample too, and I have many more samples.
Jounin Elite - March 6, 2007 10:28 PM (GMT)
Alright, thanks guys. Just so you know, I don't know exactly when I'll be starting this board and stuiff, so sit tight on it :P.
-JE-
Sakuya - March 6, 2007 11:14 PM (GMT)
Makinaru - March 7, 2007 01:34 AM (GMT)
I'll do it! I can RP good, very good, you just haven't seen me RP really... The only thing you've seen me do, is sit in a chair and talk.
Kaji - March 7, 2007 01:42 AM (GMT)
Wait, your making another forum? What about this one, it'll be hard to manage two boards.
Aku - March 7, 2007 01:43 AM (GMT)
A lot of people have signed up... well I'm willing to join and help out too, the better reason to procrastinate from homework xD
well I'll join if there are still any other spots left
so what exactly do I do to get in?

Nah, not really. Here theres a pretty good staff, and a RP board takes minimal managing once you get it up and running properly.
Oh, and JE, when you make your new board, make it on Zetaboards. It's a great upgrade over the current boards.
Jounin Elite - March 7, 2007 02:25 AM (GMT)
@beat: I'm hoping to be able to. I do a lot of my homework at school and stuff :P. And isn't zetaboards invisionfree? I went to the register page there, and the address is on invisionfree, so what's different about it :P?
@ Aku: Well, I've seen you RP, considering I play the role of your team leader, so I'll get back to you, since that's mostly what I need.
-JE-

What does doing homework have to do with anything? ;)
But basically: The old invisionfree boards are based off of invision power board v 1.3. Zetaboards is the "new" invisionfree boards based on the ipb 2.0 protocol. Currently they're only in beta though.\
Some good names still open too I think. I just registered one with the name "Freeze" which I'm sure is pretty popular :P
Jounin Elite - March 7, 2007 02:56 AM (GMT)
My bad ,I constantly think Kaji is beat, because his avatar is similar to one of beat's old ones :P. Gotcha now.
Homework has to do with it because if I don't do it at school, then I have to do it at home, which is when I'd have to run the boards and stuff. Message boards are blocked at school :P.
At this point, my top few for staff would be: (I suppose :P)
Chopstix, Sky, and...... maybe... Makinaru. I've never seen him RP here all too much, but I know his profile was very well done and stuff :P. XD and now Kurosaki's requested it in a pm too. He was pretty good in the Chuunin exams... Hm.....
Any names for the 6 bad guys? I need one for each village place and then one for the big bad boss. I haven't had much time to think of one today :P.
-JE-
Kazekage - March 7, 2007 03:15 AM (GMT)
Sky - March 7, 2007 03:41 AM (GMT)
Well I think once you get like, their fighting style/personalities planned out, then we'd name 'em a bit more appropriately.
Kazekage - March 7, 2007 03:46 AM (GMT)
I have a few people I'm willing to give away!

So... post 'em?
Kazekage - March 7, 2007 04:02 AM (GMT)
There's...
Cicaro
Maximus
and Proximo.
Sky - March 7, 2007 04:08 AM (GMT)
Wait, so like, are the six bad guys going to be played by us?
If so I have a really good character to use, but his name is still Sky at the moment lol
Edit:
Here's some names:
Byakko - the white tiger of the west
Basan - a large fire-breathing chicken monster (LOL)
Aobōzu - the blue monk who kidnaps children
Amanojaku - a small demon which instigates people into wickedness
Goryō - vengeful spirits of the dead
Mizuchi - a dangerous water-dragon
Mujina - a shapeshifting badger
Satori - an ape-like creature that can read minds
Those are just the ones i found cool.
Here's a full list.

Jounin Elite - March 7, 2007 04:31 AM (GMT)
I have some names, but I do like some of Sky's. And I got the Yu Yu Hakusho reference :P. (I hope it was intended XD)
Of course, I'll give credit to the people who came up with names that I didn't make (fine, I mean find :P)

Chopstix - March 8, 2007 02:08 AM (GMT)
Is there anything else you want me to work on?
Zabuza Momochi - March 8, 2007 02:22 AM (GMT)
i would like to. you know i'm an experienced and well playing RPer. even though you rarely update my story and I am on a 1 man team, I do what I can. I belong to many other RPGs, ok only liek 3 others, but my skills have been honed and I believe I could be a valuable asset to your team. Or even just a tester, give you helpful hints and ideas. but this sounds like fun.
beat89 - March 8, 2007 02:56 AM (GMT)
Wow. There is WAY more interest than I thought there'd be in this project :P
I actually don't like being staff at RP sites all that much, so if I joined it would just be as a member.
Kurosaki Ichigo the Vizard - March 8, 2007 03:17 AM (GMT)
I'm up for the job! I'm a very experienced RPer (5 years of experience). I just can't come up with cool names...
