You do not need to understand the Story of Sora to understand any of what is about to be presented to you.
This Fable you see, is far removed from the Tale of the Keyblade's Chosen One, who saved the Realm of Light many times over.
It also exists far before the Ancient Keyblade War, wherewith the differences and distrust between individuals lead to irreversible calamity.
This a different sort of story.
During the Age of Fairy Tales, when Light was plentiful and covered the world, Darkness first appeared in the Realm of Light with an absolute and sudden ferocity. Terrible creatures that the people called 'Phantoms' began to manifest themselves with malevolent intentions. They came from the very edge of the world, and acted only upon their own baser primal urges as they sought out people's hearts. An unstoppable tidal wave of these monsters put entirety of the Realm of Light under siege as the Phantoms carved a path of indiscriminate devastation that lead all the way to the very doorstep of the Kingdoms of Light.
The Four Kingdoms of Light, having lived in peace and harmony for the whole of their existence knew nothing of the ways needed in combating this new threat. Naturally, they were paralyzed at the Phantoms and all the terrible things committed by those monsters. Nonetheless, for the sake of survival they endeavored to come up with a solution to this incredibly dire situation. They were quick to realize that the Kingdoms of Light faced a very real possibility of losing everything and everyone to the Darkness. If the Phantoms went about their destruction unchecked, The World of Light would be cursed to meet the a horrible conclusion of being enveloped in a never-ending night that was darker than black.
This crisis, as you might guess, was ultimately resolved in favor of the Realm of Light. But while we know of the story's ending, it does not justify this Fable to be lost to time. Make no mistake, the era of the Four Kingdoms of Light and the once singular World of Light are long gone. But, it remains a story worth telling. We should not forget the sacrifices made in that age which brought about the Keyblade - our greatest tool against the Heartless that we now fight in our era. We must also not forget all the joys, triumphs, and sorrows that our forebears bore despite the impossible uncertainties they faced.
This special book I have set down before you, was created by a powerful Magician. It preserves this story for all future generations. Read the pages, and you will experience a different life. You will meet the author of this book, the Great Magus Fatuita, in her very own childhood when it all began. There too, you will meet the heroes who first saved the World of Light to whom we owe much gratitude. Indeed you will face the same terrors and obstacles that those heroes once confronted. The strength of your own heart, and your will to see things through shall be tested.
Be mindful that this book, if you choose to read it, shalt not retell the story exactly as it had happened, though.
No,
you shall live though it. It is a complete experience shaped entirely by the character of your heart.
Now then, would you like to partake in this old fable?
Hello Everyone! Ehb here!
This is the interest check for Faerie Core. A Group Adventure RP that takes place within the Kingdom Hearts Universe, but is so far removed from the Kingdom Hearts universe that it's almost hard to call it a Kingdom Hearts Fandom Rp. The RP uses similar concepts, locales, and the skills used by characters come from and are encouraged to be derived from the ones available in the Kingdom Hearts series. But, this RP also starts in a time before Keyblades, and long before The Keyblade War.
The beloved characters from both Square and Disney might not be as you recognize them, or may not even yet in this tale, far, far in the past.
So, what makes this RP even worth considering, then?
The RP at its core, is a Group Adventure rp with a Kingdom Hearts veneer. The clash of Light and Darkness at its earliest form where the world is still struggling to understand the brutality of the Darkness that is now menaces their once peaceful society. The RP's story starts you off in your character's childhood. Together with your 'family' at the Orphanage, you will form a strong bond that is tested by a certain event which will cause you to be separated. The RP then skips ahead past your childhood all the way to adolescence, where a certain discovery leads to you all being drawn back together on a quest to save the World of Light.
In short, this is an RP where your character's backstory is played out In Character and shared with the rest of the cast to a degree. There is a planned time-skip to adolescence, where your character sheet will be 'revised' by you into it's full 'adventure' form. That revision will have greater meaning with the backdrop of having played through the events of childhood.
It is hoped that playing through this childhood prologue participants might be inspired to seeing the RP through to the end.
Anyway, this thread exists to gauge interest, and clear up questions that people might have! If there's any uncertainty please feel free to ask! I've held back on dumping too much info (though there isn't that much info to dump anyway) to encourage consideration. Thank you for considering!
In a Nutshell:
- Summary
- Format: Group Roleplay
- RP Type: A group adventure which begins the players all the way at childhood before their quest begins year later.
- Expected Post Rate: Once Per Week. More encouraged if players are inspired to.
- Target Cast Size: 5ish + GM, More is Possible but keeping numbers low.
- Character Limit: 1
- Mandatory Secondary Communication: Discord
Questions already asked will be added here.
What Kind of RP is this?
A Kingdom Hearts Fandom Group Adventure Roleplay.
Cast Size?
We're ideally going to keep it small at around 5ish + the GM. Decided by the first six sheets that are accepted. It is hoped that the small size will make the in character cast feel very tight knit.
Discord?
It is highly likely Discord will be used for OOC Purposes. However, admittance into that channel will only be granted after a character has been accepted.
Keyblades?
A Keyblade, the signature weapon of the Kingdom Hearts Series is genuinely earned through certain actions in the childhood arc. Your character sheets will be filled out on the assumption that they do not obtain one. But after childhood, a revision into an older version of that character may have them gain a keyblade that reflects themselves after that time-skip.
Any idea what kind of technology level the world will be? Is it going to be purely fantasy, or there will be mixture of modern world elements/magipunk (eg guns, smartphones but powered with magic)?
A lot of innovation was forced forward at the start of the Phantom Invasions. It can be generally said that most people in the world view Magic as things that wise old mystics use to understand the world, and occasionally use it to help people. Modern 'Magus' and 'Magus-tech' are developed primarily to protect and fight the Phantoms. Most prominently Barriers.
Guns?
No-t quite yet. Perhaps after the timeskip they might be developed into something like what Xigbar uses. Gummiphones? Probably not since those were not seen widely in the first two main games. (Blame the over Decade Long Sequel timelapse).
Can I use anything besides the Struggle Weapons for a weapon during the childhood arc?
Yes you can. But, it should remain in the same vein as being 'toylike', and hinting at the weapon (and 'Way') your character will follow in the future.
