Mega-RP

[outerlimits]

It would seem so, lol

[Dynamax]

Oh and little fun bit of trivia folks: My name Dynamax comes from a fan character i made when i was in grade 5, around the time Nintendo Power Magazine was pushing a contest to design a robot master for the next game (it debuted Mega Man 5 for the NES, Mega Man III for the GBA and next isue was Mega Man X for the NES. FYI the contest lead to the creation of Knight Man and Wind Man in Mega Man 6)

I saw Mega Man had the main enemy, the mentor, the family, the sidekick, the anti hero helper but he lacked a rival...a permanent one as the Mega Man killers were one shots at the time. Then two games later they made Bass so yeah...lol.

So expect to see Dynamax reborn as a Reploid.

Oh and he had a flier brother named Ulitmax and the combined to form the super robot Supremax so expect that in biometal form.

So yeah...cue the theme music.

Coming soon to an RPG near you.



(FYI this song substituted for a Japanese sung song, dude who sung it and two songs in X6 and some songs in X7...japanese VA for Shikamaru from Naruto.)

Haha, that's awesome. Glad to see my favorite series helped you come up with your RP name XD

[Dynamax]

I also used those three names as Transformers but in that use they are separate entities.

[Noble 6]

"I want a cool name....*sniff*

[Dynamax]

Noble I will give you one.

I dub thee...El Hombre de Noble Numero Seis.

And if that doesn't work i will call thee Betty.

[The Legendary Ice Dragon]

Oi badass quit ur whining!

[Deleted]

Cool names... cool names... hmmmm....... I'm going to have fun finding one.

[outerlimits]

Alrighty, it looks like I've got a lot of people that want to do this! Woot!

So I've had a few questions asked about how this would work and I think I'll address some of them here.

1.) How exactly do we do our character's powers/abilities/weapons? Is it magic/technology/skill/what?

Well, in Megaman it's more like everything you fight was built and designed to have the abilities they have. Say you make a Maverick boss who can fly and fire bursts of lighting. He'd probably have to have wings or jetpacks or anti-gravity propulsions systems on his design and some sort of cannon that can fire said lighting blasts. It's not like they just "can" do these things, the biometals/bosses were designed and built with these things already on them. Keep that in mind when coming up with ideas.


2.) So...what kind of characters can we make?

Well, first off, if you're going to make a non-machine toon, they have to be either Human or Reploid. Humans are...well, humans, lol. Reploids on the other hand look, talk, and act almost just like humans...except they're androids. And, since this RP takes place in the Megaman ZX universe, all reploids have this pink triangle on their forehead. Also, if you make a biometal, then only a human or a reploid can use it. Biometals have their own personalities and such as well, so they basically count as another character!

The remaining types fall into the "bad guys" area. The two types of bad-guy boss things are Mavericks and Psuedoroids. Mavericks are robots/reploids/machines that have gone rogue and turned against humanity/other reploids, with their main goal to cause havoc, destruction, or just simply not follow the main system of how things are. Most Mavericks in the X and Zero series are based off of animals, with some humanoid traits. If you need some ideas for making Mavericks, just go to one of the links Dynamax put up and look at bosses for the Megaman X games and the Megaman Zero games.

Psuedoroids on the otherhand, while also based off of animals like Mavericks, are usually more animal-like and use fragments of biometals to power their special-abilities. Unlike Mavericks, which usually have two-three part names like Blizzard Wolfgang or Metal Shark Player, Psuedoroids just have single word names like Chronoforce or Hivolt.


3.) So, how is this RP going to be like Megaman?

Like I said in the original post, I'm going to basically be a "DM" in this RP, controlling most of the super-plot-important characters (mainly the villains) and keeping the storyline linear. That said though, I will let you guys make bosses, and here's how it works. Each boss has a stage the other protagonists must go through. So, you're boss not only has to be designed, but you get to make up the area the certain mission to take them down takes place at, the enemies that pop up in that place, the obstacles people have to overcome, and other special events that happen at that stage, AND the music that plays during that stage! Phew! Lots of words there.

Also, you get to come up with the "boss room" that we fight the boss in. Basically, each boss is fought at the end of a stage after going through two locking doors, usually connected by a corridor. There can be any sort of random things in the boss room to make fighting there harder (I.E. Ice, random vents that shoot flames, maybe the boss uses a button in the room that flips the gravity around, strong wind that pushes people back, etc.), or you can just have something in there that the bosses uses to power up their moves.

At the end of the RP, before the final boss, everyone is also going to have to RE-FIGHT EVERY SINGLE BOSS. Well, every single MAVERICK AND PSUEDOROID boss to be exact, but still, yeah. You'll get an exact copy of the boss room and pretty much have a round two fight, except you can count on the protagonists being more powerful at that point so it will be more like a classic, boss rush sort of thing to see if they can last long enough to make it to the end (Yay for delaying the inevitable and sacrificial lambs!).

Everyone's main character will also have some sort of "weapon-get" system that makes it so they get new abilities/techniques/weapons/transformations after they defeat a "boss" enemy, whether it be Maverick, Psuedoroid, or even another biometal user. Dynamax came up with a pretty neat class system thing and I think I'll use that for determining what happens.



And yeah, those were the major things. Any other questions, be sure to ask me or shoot me suggestions. Hopefully we can get this up whenever the next RP opening is. I'm really excited about it ^^

[Dynamax]

I just have one more question


...what's a Mega Man?

I kid.

If you need help I'd be willing to help things out.

Just do keep in mind one thing, a power might not be the same between two guys of the same class. Power usually fits someones design style. Mega Man and X were standard bots. Some might be more specific model designs.

[outerlimits]

Right, good thing to point out Dyna!

And silly you, what's a Megaman. Psh...


Speaking of asking things, I forgot to mention that I'm going to do the first level and boss for you guys as a sort of "tutorial" of how things will go. As such, Dynamax, any ideas on how to recreate the whole "stage select" thing? I was thinking I'd have another thread and just post the next 4 bosses and you'd guys pick to see who'd go where and whatnot.

[Dynamax]

they did do a 4 by 4 sequencial. thing since mega man 7. It's usually done by computers detecting disturbances in set locations and teleporting people there.

[outerlimits]

Yeah. Suppose I'll do that then. I'll probably end up having more than just 8 bosses though...even though more of the recent ones have around 12-16 bosses, but you only re-fight 8 of them. I'll probably want more than just 8 re-fightables, lol

[Deleted]

Sounds like a plan! I already had my character classpicked the second it was listed... not telling you guys though.

[shadow wolf]

dear outer, if you alowed me a boss character, could i use this song for the level??
