Endless Perspective - Open Role Playing :: FFHaven RP

Sky · FFHaven RP - Discussion (Sat May 12, 2007 6:43 pm)

This thread is for the discussion and organization of the FFHaven RP. You can use this thread to minimize unnecessary OOC in posts, or to organize collaboration-posts (or announce collaboration-posts). This is also the place for suggesting things for the FFHaven Plot, seeing as the FFHaven RP is considered a "closed plot" story; that being, the plot direction is controlled by the RP creators. Granted, it isn't like anything is set in stone, but key plot points in the Astolorian war are determined by myself (ex. Mako 10 exploding regardless of the outcome of the battle, KOS-MOS becoming a rebel, etc.), and key pieces of the history of Astoloria are determined by Artemis (and sometimes myself). You can use this thread to suggest plot forks or to have more light on a particular subject that may be unclear in the plot.

However, nothing here is intended to replace the good old fashioned PM. Collaboration-posts should still be constructed via PM, but you can announce or organize the posts here. Just don't leak plot info if you can afford it! Wink

Sky · Iri "Village" Clarifications (Sat May 12, 2007 6:50 pm)

Some things that may need to be clarified in this post that would be really large OOC posts otherwise:

1) Iri does not have fiends. They have been driven out long ago. Artemis has made a huge point about this, and I'm not about to disagree.

2) Iri Temple is essentially defunct. It is intended to be used as a starting place for pilgrimages, considering its lack of a proper Cloister of Trials. Iri's cloister has been destroyed previous to the beginning of the RP. This incident will probably be detailed more thoroughly if I ever finish the FFHaven spin-off "Payne", but in essence, it was destroyed by a Shinra party led by Vincet on the trail of a summoner. The "trial" now is to defeat a Red Dragon fiend. The battle varies in difficulty depending on what level dragon they bring into the temple. (Hint: higher-level parties will fight higher-level dragons)

3) Shinra generally stays out of Iri. Period. Shinra employees often frequent Iri, but never on duty. High level Shinra (ex: Vincet and other maesters) would probably be assaulted upon entry.

(Arty, feel free to add as needed.)

Sky · Regarding Summoners (Sat May 12, 2007 6:57 pm)

The system for summoners and aeons is still under construction. This was one of the things that was easier when there were separate boards for the entire RP, but the benefits overshadow this downside.

We (the staff) are currently brainstorming a system to put into place for characters to obtain aeons without creating plot-holes in the RP. The issue of multi-present characters (you can't be in two places at once, therefore you must be absent from the current conflict to be able to obtain an aeon) must still be addressed while making it easy for characters to go about obtaining aeons.

For now, I advise against creating summoner characters. Characters from the original FFHaven board are fine, as there was a system back then, but refrain from obtaining new aeons at this point until we can get a system in place. Thanks.

Also, if you have suggestions, feel free to post them in this thread or to PM myself or Abbey (we are the main factors in the aeon setup).

Sky · Final Fantasy VIII References (Thu May 24, 2007 2:03 am)

There are plans underway to bring more of Final Fantasy VIII (8 for the Roman Numeral challenged) into the FFHaven storyline. Most of these references will be located in the Southern Continent.

I have a nation similar to Esthar planned. I'm saving a text file on my computer with the details as I don't want to spoil anything (though two people already know the plan from the Shoutbox, but they're staff anyways).

Any other ideas for incorporating FFVIII material into the FFHaven RP are appreciated. =)

I plan on having a sorcerer plot going too, so you know. I will probably try to avoid the time travel aspect, though, as that quickly gets confusing (right Arty?).

Isn't Xadako a sorceress enough? She's the only one with a 'new' summon (that I know of).

But yeah, you can forget I said that...

Sky · (Thu May 24, 2007 2:11 am)

It all depends on how you want to classify Xadako. Eden is a clear cut Summoner, but Xadako is definitely different than your average, run-of-the-mill summoner.

You can call her a sorcerer if you want, and I'll keep that in mind when I set down the plans for the sorcerers.

I'm really wanting to do a Garden-type mercenary organization. I don't know what all your plans are Sky, but if you didn't have anything planned, I would love to head that. I have an abundance of ideas for it.

If I was main admin, I'd let you, but it's not my RP Razz

I like the idea, though Razz

Well, there are other summoners from the old FFHaven, but most of them just don't summon...like Sky and Abbey (W00t for self-named characters Razz

)

Should we have a contest for it Razz

Sky · (Thu May 24, 2007 2:43 am)

That actually might be a really good idea.

EDIT: Random idea for you, Kane. It's entirely up to you, but the Rebels will eventually come into the Southern Continent via the only bridge that connects the two continents: the Carpathian Bridge. It'll be a rough ride across the entire thing, as it will be swarming with Shinra troops, and I think that might be the position for the entrance for some agents of the mercenary faction. Perhaps the headmaster gets in contact with Sky or one of the other leaders in Portsmouth (the city that they will stop in to regroup before attacking the bridge) and Sky signs a deal with them or something.

Just throwing ideas out there.

KaneInferno · (Thu May 24, 2007 12:51 pm)

That is a good idea. And it makes perfect sense. In fact, I already have an idea to make it work. Ha, I can see the battle on the bridge right now.
