The tattoo idea makes me think of Darker than Black in the sense that the Contractors who use their power have to pay a 'price'.

Long shot, but - how familiar are people with the film Pacific Rim?

If you already have a plan, I'd love to see how you'd make it work as a roleplay~ I don't have a concrete plot yet, but I was thinking about covering the later Jaeger Academy years and the first few years of actually being jaeger pilots. Obviously the former would be more interaction-focused, whereas the second would narrow down interaction opportunities a little bit unless the mission called for multiple jaegers. In both scenarios, I'd really like to explore the idea of drifting (especially for the first time) and drift-compatibility, and how that affects people's relationships, etc.
For convenience, I'd probably set it around the peak of the Jaeger Program's success - 2019, iirc?

Pacific Rim is definitely on my need to watch list, and I'm familiar with some basics of it. I'd be interested in a roleplay after I watch the movie, ofc. Definitely seems like a neat idea, though!

Pacific Rim feels like it would make for an interesting Roleplay verse But I'm curious how we would decide on the partners? Would that be done in the beginning when we're working on applications or would the decision be made while roleplaying after seeing the interactions?

Hm...it'll probably be the first for convenience's sake, since by the later years of your Jaeger Academy career, you've pretty well figured out who you're drift-compatible with. So obviously we will have to work out things as we create our characters! If we decide to go down this route, maybe instead of posting full profiles first, we could post a basic archetype skeleton of the character we want to use, decide who's paired with who, and then build the final profile?

That idea, I like it. And maybe we could even add a twist to it: we each write a skeleton (something very simple, like "choose a gender and a personality") and, say, assign a number to it. Then we randomly pick a number (maybe through a randomiser or something) and write a full character to the skeleton we end up with~ Also, that final character ends up as drift-compatible with whoever wrote down the skeleton. I think it would put an interesting twist in that, like the characters won't choose who they're paired with, you don't quite choose who you and your partner are. ...of course, we could always do it the conventional way if that idea seems too crazy, inconvenient, unfitting or generally not fun. o.o I'm just throwing new ideas out here~

That way we won't automatically be biased as to whose character we want to be drift-compatible with ours. That does mean we're going to need an even number of characters, but between you, me, Mini, and Pandora, we can pull it off (although others could be interested and just not have posted, I guess).

I've always wanted to try and make a Fakemon rp work where we would use well-made fakemon from someone (with their permission) in a brand new region. A lot of people don't like fakemon but the well-made ones are pretty cool and I really like the concept of having to battle a pokemon you've never actually seen before. I know the idea could never work, but it's fun to think about.
I really want to find an opportunity to use some of my fakemon in an rp though.

clef pinging you all over the place today. The fakemon idea sounds really neat, I've seen so many well-done ones in my times. I've always liked the idea of the pokefusions being used instead of regular pokemon. I would love to give it a try! I just don't know if you were thinking of going the RNG route and I'd like to vote for no on that because those aren't really my favorite thing.

pfft, who needs super serious well-done fakemon when you have...WEELEE?
(Yes, I know it's a fusion and not a fakemon. But WEELEE.)

All right. Since mini finally watched Pacific Rim, I'm gonna go ahead and start making a thread for it! It will show up sometime this week.

Mini Although I like RNG for the whole mystery aspect, I'm done trying to run them since they take a lot of work to keep running. I'd rather it just be a journey where we choose our pokemon as long as it makes sense. Wyndi Weelee is love. Weelee is life. I made a fusion for the rp back on Vdex but I never joined. It was called Zubynx and it was basically a Jynx with ratty hair and a tattered dress with no eyes and a giant Zubat mouth with lipstick. Oh and she had bat wings and no arms. I drew her and she's kind of disturbing to look at. I also had this idea where pokemon are dangerous and battling and training is illegal but there's this underground battling league the characters challenge to try and prove that pokemon can be great allies or something. Every single pokemon would be capable of killing humans so people are terrified of everything. Like if there is a cloud of hoppip flying overhead everyone puts on gas masks so they don't breathe in toxic PoisonPowder spores.
