I live in my own world.
its an anime that came out in 2002 about a weak, unassertive boy who ends up getting recruited for his new schools american football team. The whole anime revolves around the players progressively getting stronger as a team and individuals with the goal of winning the winter cup. The team only starts with two member until Eyesheild 21 (Sena Kobayakawa) joins them as a manager before being forced to be a player by the devil himself. However even with Eyeshield joining them they need 11 player and the devil (Hiruma) ends up forcing via blackmail nine more players to jointhere team of cause the nine other player were useless, but upon winning a
big game (thanks to Eyeshield) other weak and some strong players get motivated to join the american football team and three turns into a full team of eleven.
I have no clear plot over-lined just yet but have several ideas.
If you have another idea don't be afraid to share since i'm more than willing to listen either post it below or even better give me a PM and we can talk about it.
A undermanned team of a few second years one who is lets just say a man who gets what he wants no matter what, look to the new first years for candidates for the team and end up finding some. In this instance I would need 1-2 other characters(not including myself.) to play seconds years and round about 8-9 to play first years characters now I doubt I will get this type of interest but if your interested don't worry fact is I can just throw some useless NPC that I will control into the mix but at minimum I would like 3-4 first year characters and at least one other second year characters. Out of all of the ideas I have this one would follow the a plot similar to the real anime the closest.
A single player who has had a love for Football most his life ends up going to a high school...that doesn't have a team and decides to set one up going to the other clubs and students looking for members. This would be more about a brand new team with one good player trying to A persuade people to join and B teach them the game tactics and about positions. This would require 9-10 characters for a whole team and they can be from any year but once again I would like 5-6 other characters for this idea.
A very talented American player moves to Japan with his parents because of their work and ends up joining a high school. Now this one can go either way either like idea 2 the school doesn't have a team and he sets up it or idea one the school has a team but it lacks players or it lacks any good players. Depending which idea people on this depends the amount of people it would require but I would like to have a full team if at all possible. In this situation no matter what unless he sets up the team we would need the American character and nine others (myself already takes away one.)however depending on which most people like it would probably be 6-7 characters.
A half-arsed team who only made the club since it got them out of class every now and again gets the addition of one new member who loves the game with all his heart and ends up making the rest of the team really feel something about the game too. This would be more of one where originally the team was just a slack off thing for people who would be called dropouts, but after a new person joins them against everyone's judgments he shows them what the games all about with the hard work he put into every bit of his training and progressively this half-arsed team becomes a team to be reckoned with and not just over a brawl in the streets. This would require the guy who loves the game and nine other if it was a full team but since I doubt the kind of interest is likely 5-6 characters plus one extra for the love the game guy would be enough.
The offensive line is primarily responsible for blocking. During normal play, offensive linemen do not handle the ball (aside from the snap from center), unless the ball is fumbled by a ball carrier, a pass is deflected and caught by a lineman or when a player who is normally an offensive lineman takes a different position on the field. The offensive line consists of:
Centers: The center is the player who begins the play from scrimmage by snapping the ball to a back: specifically, the quarterback. As the name suggests, the center usually plays in the middle of the offensive line, though some teams may employ an unbalanced line where the center is offset to one side or another. Like all offensive linemen, the center has the responsibility to block defensive players. The center often also has the responsibility to call out blocking assignments and make last second adjustments depending on the defensive alignment.
Offensive guards: Two guards line up directly on either side of the center. Like all interior linemen, their function is to block on both running and passing plays. On some plays, rather than blocking straight ahead, a guard will "pull", whereby the guard comes out of his position in line to lead block for a ball carrier.
Offensive tackles: Two tackles play outside of the guards. Their role is primarily to block on both running and passing plays. The area from one tackle to the other is an area of "close line play" in which blocks from behind, which are prohibited elsewhere on the field, are allowed. For a right-handed quarterback, the left tackle is charged with protecting the quarterback from being hit from behind (known as his "blind side"), and this is usually the most skilled player on the offensive line. Like a guard, the tackle may have to "pull," on a running play, when there is a tight end on his side. Tackles are typically a taller, longer build than interior offensive linemen, due to the need to keep separation from defensive linemen in pass blocking situations.
The six backs and receivers are those that line up outside or behind the offensive line. There are four main positions in this set of players:
Quarterback: The quarterback is the player who receives the ball from the center to start the play. The most important position on the offensive side, the quarterback is usually responsible for receiving the play from the coaches on the sideline and communicating the play to the other offensive players in the huddle. The quarterback may need to make changes to the play at the line of scrimmage (known as an "audible"), depending on the defensive alignment. At the start of the play, the quarterback may be lined up in one of three positions. If he is positioned directly in contact with the center, and receives the ball via direct hand-to-hand pass, he is said to be "under center". If he is lined up some distance behind the center, he is said to be "in the shotgun". He can also be in between. This is called a "pistol" formation. Upon receiving the snap, the quarterback has three basic options to advance the ball. He may run the ball himself, he may hand it to another eligible ball carrier to run with it, or he may execute a forward pass to a player downfield.
Running backs: Running backs are players who line up behind the offensive line, who are in position to receive the ball from the quarterback, and execute a rushing play. Anywhere from one to three running backs may be utilized on a play (or even none, a situation typically known as an "empty backfield"). Depending on where they line up, and what role they have, running backs come in several varieties. The "tailback" (or sometimes the "halfback", though this term is somewhat archaic) is often a team's primary ball carrier on rushing plays. They may also catch passes, often acting as a "checkdown" or "safety valve" when all other receivers on a pass play are covered. The "fullback" is often larger and stronger than the tailback, and acts primarily as a blocker, though the fullback may also be used for catching passes or for rushing as a tailback does. Fullbacks often line up closer to the line of scrimmage than tailbacks do, so they may block for them. A "wingback" or a "slotback" is a term for a running back who lines up behind the line of scrimmage outside the tackle or tight end on the side where positioned. Slotbacks are usually only found in certain offensive alignments, such as the flexbone formation.
A wide receiver: The wide receivers are pass-catching specialists. Their main job is to run pass routes and get open for a pass, although they are occasionally called on to block. Wide receivers generally line up split "wide" near the sidelines at the start of the play. Wide receivers, like running backs, come in different varieties depending on exactly where they line up. A wide receiver who is directly on the line of scrimmage is called a "split end", and is counted among the seven required players on the line of scrimmage. A wide receiver who lines up behind the line (and thus counts as one of the four backs) is called the "flanker". A wide receiver who lines up between the outermost wide receiver and the offensive line is said to be "in the slot" and is called the "slot receiver" or "slotback".
Tight end: Tight ends play on either side of, and directly next to, the tackles. Tight ends are considere hybrid players, something between a wide receiver and an offensive lineman. Because they play next to the other offensive linemen, they are frequently called on to block, especially on running plays. However, because they are eligible receivers, they may also catch passes.
The defensive team or defense is the team that begins a play from scrimmage not in possession of the ball. The objective of the defensive team is to prevent the other team from scoring. The defense accomplishes this by forcing the offense to turn the ball over, either by preventing them from achieving a first down and forcing a punt, or by forcing the offense to fumble or throw an interception.
Unlike the offensive team, the rules do not restrict the defensive team into certain positions. A defensive player may line up anywhere on his side of the line of scrimmage and perform any legal action. Over time, however, defensive roles have become defined into three main sets of players, and several individual positions.
Defensive tackle: Sometimes called a defensive guard, defensive tackles play at the center of the defensive line. Their function is to rush the passer (if they can get past the offensive linemen blocking them), and stop running plays directed at the middle of the line of scrimmage. The most interior defensive tackle who sometimes lines up directly across from the ball (and therefore is almost nose-to-nose with the offense's center) is often called a nose tackle or nose guard. The nose tackle is most common in the 3-4 defense. Most defensive sets have one or two defensive tackles. If one employs a second defensive tackle, sometimes called an under tackle, he is usually a bit faster than the nose tackle.
Defensive end: The two defensive ends play next to the defensive tackles, at the edges of the defensive line. Their function is to attack the passer or stop offensive runs to the outer edges of the line of scrimmage (most often referred to as "containment"). The faster of the two is usually placed on the right side of the defensive line (quarterback's left) because that is a right-handed quarterback's blind side.
Often, though not always, a defensive lineman will have his "hand(s) on the ground," in a three- or four-point stance before the ball is snapped; this distinguishes his pre-snap stance from a linebacker, who begins in a two-point stance (i.e. without a hand touching the ground).
Linebackers
Middle linebacker: Sometimes called the "inside linebacker" (especially in a 3-4 defense), and known colloquially as the "Mike" linebacker, the middle linebacker is often known as the "quarterback of the defense", as they are frequently the primary defensive play callers and must react to a wide variety of situations. Middle linebackers must be capable of stopping running backs who make it past the defensive line, covering pass plays over the middle, and rushing the quarterback on blitz plays.
Outside linebacker: Outside linebackers are given different names depending on their role and the philosophy of the team. Some teams keep their outside linebackers on the same side of the field at all times, and thus they are known as "right outside" (ROLB) and "left outside" (LOLB). Some teams define them by their role; as playing either "strongside" (SLB) or "weakside" (WLB). The strongside, or "Sam", linebacker lines up on the same side as the offensive tight end and often is responsible for covering the tight end or running back on pass plays. The weakside, or "Will", linebacker lines up on the side of the offensive line without a tight end, and is often used to rush, or blitz the quarterback, or may need to cover a running back on pass plays.
Cornerback: Typically two players primarily cover the wide receivers. Cornerbacks attempt to prevent successful quarterback passes by either swatting the airborne ball away from the receiver or by catching the pass themselves. In rushing situations, their job is to contain the runner, either by directing him back to the middle of the field to be tackled, by tackling him themselves, or by forcing him out of bounds.
Safety: The safeties are the last line of defense (farthest from the line of scrimmage) and usually help the corners with deep-pass coverage. The strong safety (SS) is usually the larger and stronger of the two, providing extra protection against run plays by standing closer to the line of scrimmage, usually on the strong (tight end) side of the field. Thefree safety (FS) is usually the smaller and faster of the two, and is usually the deepest player on the defense, providing help on long pass plays.
In all the ideas if you don't want to be a player you don't have to be they are many other positions outside the pitch as on it you could be the Manager, the secretary, rival team member or even if you want cheerleaders.
The anime has certain character with a unique ability such as Sena's "Devil bat Ghost" which is done by the turning without slowing down, allowing them to pass players without stopping and maintaining speed. He shortens his steps, stepping in one direction and then crossing over with the other foot. This causing the linebacker to be unsure of which direction they will run and leaves a ghosty image of them in fornt of the linebacker after they've dodged. Other characters that have such abilities are Shin who has his spear tackle, The kid with his quick draw or Riku Rodeo Drive. Each character in the Roleplay will get to make their own one HOWEVER you will not start with a perfect version of it so make sure it has room to be improved.
big game (thanks to Eyeshield) other weak and some strong players get motivated to join the american football team and three turns into a full team of eleven.I have no clear plot over-lined just yet but have several ideas.
