Meh. Fine. I can just be all like "finds interesting cave and flies in, only to have some mind screwy stuff happen and end up somewhere else." Shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Sicon112]

Ha! I have nearly 700 chapters of back story to reference!

And again is there a system to this? It's the first one I've played.

EDIT: Aw cmon, no one else has added a weakness.

That's because Sabrac's only weakness is his nature itself (the fact that his senses are completely out of proportion with his true size) and if you will notice, I did add that.

[NeverSlender]

By the way, the only things that can stop Marco using his devil fruit are if he's in contact with either water or seastone.

As for how it works, basically we'll probably determine a posting order, and then post one by one according to said order. Posts will be something along the lines of a couple paragraphs of text done in a third person narrative style oriented around our characters and told in the past tense. I.E. "With an ear-splitting roar, Marisa released the blast of energy, a torrent of rainbow-colored light blocking out the sky itself as it shot forth, consuming all that stood before her." for an example sentence.

Er... Marisa doesn't really have a given weakness. I guess... low HP? She IS a One Hitpoint Wonder, after all.

[The Finch]

I never did give my character a weakness... make it something reasonable though...

[NeverSlender]

Added weakness.

[IslaKariese]

So we have to add weaknesses now? What should a shapeshifter's weakness be?

[AMimsyBorogove]

Err, only being able to transform at a certain time (Were-shifting) or maybe not being able to transform under given circumstances, or some sort of physical weakness in the alternate form?

[Pixelmage]

Alice is just a little girl.
Undead, possibly immortal, with some magical power to kind of nuke out minor gods. But, she's oblivious to all of that. Dash past her Card Knights and she's dead. No actual, personal fighting power at all.

[Guyshane]

My character is a glass cannon. and now he has a weakness

[The Finch]

If someone breaks my wings, I drastically weaken. I am still able to fight, but I will not have as much power as I normally had.

[Sicon112]

Well, now that the coffee shop of madness is done for now, should we get back to setting this up?

[Victin]

Yes. Should I start it?

I'm talking about possible plots with my brother at the moment. Give him a sec to see if he comes up with any changes.

[BlueGuy]

EDIT: Aw cmon, no one else has added a weakness.

I actually added a weakness to mine.

Unfortunately, I'll be on a 2/3-day trip starting tomorrow, so if we wait 'til then you won't see me for a while.
Man, mine must be the odd one out, being a clip-art cartoon tornado

[NeverSlender]

Nearly ready?

[Victin]

I was going to start, but Sicon's brother wants to help, so I'm waiting him.

Sorry. A couple guys showed up at the door. We were chatting for a sec, but now they took off, so he's back. Give us a second.

My bro is putting together an opening scene now. Want him to start the thread?

[Guyshane]

Yea lets do that

[Victin]

Well... I don't think why not. Go on. Later I see what I will do with the plot.

[AMimsyBorogove]

Okay. The only real idea I have is for all of our characters to wake up in some sort of World Half Empty in a fantasy setting with enemies/elements from all of our chars different 'verses. I.E., Touhou Fairies or Crimson Denizens as NPC enemies, etcetera. Our characters remember know their names, what they can do, and retain their basic motivations, but can't remember how they got to wherever they are, or many of the events before that. Then, there could be some gigantic Tower of Babel-sized mountain or something where they decide to go to see if there are answers there, since it's the only really notable feature in an otherwise empty land. Then, they end up running into each other and fighting each other as well as doing battle with various NPC enemies, and with each victory they gain some memories of their past, etcetera. Eventually, we could end up racing each other to the top so that the first one who gets there can go back to their own verse.

More or less what I was planning, but with more setting and with less of a plot (your plot seems more generic than mine, while your setting is less generic than mine). Let me PM what I and LordXana were thinking. Also, do I add you to the GM list? And I am going now. BRB

I can't really do that... There just isn't enough backstory about Sabrac to allow me to act on anything. Furthermore, Sabrac would probably just wander around doing nothing, staying underground and avoiding conflict. Then he would just head on up to the mountain/whatever and leave without ever interacting with anybody...
