CFV Roleplay [2] [x]

[Hope]

Event Tracker/Summaries:

In a world 150 years after the Link Joker Invasion, the form of fighting that was once called "Cardfight Vanguard" has become an art long lost as the souls within the cards have become dormant after their defeat in the hand of Link Joker. While recreational fighting was still very much possible, the power to wield units were reserved only to those whom sided with the invaders. Ordinary humans with no allegiance would live everyday life under constant supervision and order from higher up enforcers, and everyday would be the same repetitive process. The ruins of the world from the past remained the same and humanity was unable to rise up. With the whole world under the power of "reverse," the state itself had become irrelevant, and all humans were marked, united under giant black ring which occasionally would cover up all light on the planet. One day, the dormant units re-awakened, was this fate or something else entirely? Regardless, new adventures began, paths crossed, and those strongest fighters under the force of Link Joker collectively stepped out of the shadows in order to fight any rebellion which would dare challenge their power.

Upon inspecting, the four found a large stadium underground made for Cardfighting. This was where the final battle which determined the fate of the world is thought to have happened. The stadium seats were not made for humans, but for the invaders. In the end of the stadium was perhaps a remnant of the final battle, and an evidence of humanity's failures. It was the card "Liberator, Monarch Sanctuary Alfred," holding two special kinds of souls within. This was the group's first encounter with Rev.

Backstory:

Spoiler

Life in Gozango is rough and harsh no matter how you look at it, a land of ruin forsaken even by the one that was supposed to rule over it. It's natural that people would consider being born here as punishment for sins of the past or other things like that while they screamed their lungs off cursing their life. But not everyone was like that, Atsushi didn't mind this kind of life at all, he was the simpliest person, wearing the simpliest clothes and living the simpliest life possible in this hellhole and yet retained a bright smile no matter what happened, he became known in his hometown and called names such as delusional, crazy or just blind to realize the truth because while everyone was despairing over their life, he'd be the kind of person to look at the positives of every situation no matter what. He viewed his life in Gozango not as a curse but as a blessing, as one cannot become truly strong without knowing what true weakness is like, he'd be happy living in Gozango as it'd be an opportunity to help others in their hopelessness. Atsushi at all times did his best to provide for his family when they were unable to do and worked hard to make sure that even in his god forsaken place it'd be possible to smile. At some point he came across a discarded pile of cards he'd later come to known as Vanguard, normally he'd pay it no mind, afterall in land like this thrown away trash is a normal occurence but not this time, he felt something grabbing onto his heart followed by a feeling of extreme lonliness that pulled him closer towards the cards for reasons unknown to him, he simply wanted to have them. Turns out it was an entire deck ready to go, with cards all over the place, dirty with destroyed sleeves and it looked like the deck had little to no consistency, someone probably discarded it for simply being terrible. Atsushi took it for himself, cleaned the cards up and somehow got them brand new sleeves, the longer he had the deck and looked at the cards the more he was interested in the game as a whole and ended up learning it for himself, that's when he realized that his deck was indeed bad. But he didn't mind it because, again, to become strong one must know what true weakness is like. He'd play the deck over and over and manage to win at times, learning the true strategy behind the deck, a slow grind that rewarded those that had the determination to struggle on, something he'd always preach. Using this deck, he showed the kids around his town the game, teaching them how to play, somehow managing to find cards for others too.

Backstory:

Spoiler

Setsuna is a neutral, free and upbeat man, works for hire and refuses to allow anything to stand in the way of his tasks.
His childhood was spent in the advanced continent Fortinbras, with his extremely rich father and mother. As an only child all the expectations of his family and society placed on his shoulders, something that he was ok with at an early period of his life. He spent the majority of his time studying due to how antisocially he was raised at first, aside from the overwhelming expectations. When he started to get more involved with people during his teen years, he began to notice strange patterns and behaviors in the way people treated one another, and it confused him even further when he saw the "way" of communication among the businessmen in his parents' work circle, him being that young did not help either. This prompted him to study psychology.. as an elective since he still had to major in business for the family name.
As he became exposed to the world and study of psychology he began to understand the behaviour patterns he noticed at a young age, however, the more he dug into the subject the more fearful he became. He knew that there were special and uncontrollable cases of people that existed in this world, and without being able to predict their next move or find a perfect solution for them he would be reminded of how helpless he was.
At one point after graduation he began to view the world around him as "messed up" and full of "masks", along with the fact that his parents were beginning to be more more forceful. So he decided to, after securing himself perfectly, to leave his house travel the world in order to understand it on his own.
His travels brought him to Gonzago, after he had visited the other continents, the place where the Link Joker invasion was finalized leaving the continent in ruins as a result. There he got to see a different kind of 'people' a kind that he only found a few of along his travels, humility was in their actions, and there he remained practicing using something he had discovered in that continent.
Setsuna has run into a strange phenomenon that only became a bit more noticeable after he began his journey alone. A phenomenon where he suddenly sees an image or a blurry scene, almost as one would watch a spoiler scene from a movie, however in this case Setsuna's screen was too blurry to reveal much of anything. He would still however feel a very strange sense of "deja vu" when he would eventually see somewhat "familiar" things, even though to his knowledge this would be his first time seeing them. He would mostly disregard these scenes or images as nothing more than dreams, until his plane flight to Gonzago where for the first time the image was no longer blurry, he would see a torn down house and the sound of a wold howling from within the now feeble establishment. He knew the house though, aftervall it was his grandfather's and the only place he ever felt love from a family member.
Before Setsuna's grandfather had passed he used to live in Gonzago so that was Setsuna's destination after landing by a few days, tho when he arrived the image would be missing the sound of the howling wolf. After exploring the establishment he would find nothing, aside from an underground bunker that only he could unlock due to a gift from his grandfather, there, I'm a cupboard he would find a note next to a stack of cards that read, "My dear boy Setsuna, I hope you are doing well for yourself, I know that things have been hard for you if you've come to this place. Though seeing as you have I want to remind you that you're never alone, I may have been an unfair friend to you in my life but hopefully I can make it up to you when i'm gone, I leave to you my most prized possession, hopefully this one will keep you company longer than I could. I love you my boy. Your Grandfather, Sekai Sozui." With tears streaming down his face, Setsuna took the stack of cards, that was his first encounter with the "Mythic Beast, Fenrir" and the start of the next chapter in his life. He would now work for hire and use this opportunity to view the world from a different perspective, given how most of the issues in the world are solved through Vanguard he found himself very capable after his time in Gonzago. This was important to him because Setsuna had seen many different individuals and had the chance to understand who they were, but no matter what, he would long for the day when he can understand himself.

Backstory:

Spoiler

"The perfect mercenary." That would be the best way to describe James Laertes. He values efficiency over all and does not enjoy wasting time when on the job. Legends say that he is only ever seen when on missions. He works for each side, regardless of what the task at hand is or what he must do. He pays no attention to relationships nor holds any grudges. He may be trying to a man one day and be client on their next and act as if nothing had ever happened. At the end of the day, its all about the money, and its all about making sure that the customer gets the result that they desire whomever they may be. His childhood was nothing special. Its what you would actually expect from a care-free mercenary. He was picked off the streets of Horatio exiled as he wasn't much of a worshiper nor did he want to live the monastic life. He didn't want to choose between Link Joker or Humanity either, so he chose to work for both. Simple as that. He works with his partner Setsuna Sozui on a regular basis and only seems to respect him due to his toughness and their similarities at face level. He owns a cat named "Meowth" who he brings during coffee breaks or drinking sessions.

If the rearguard was rested due to Darkface's Generation Break 2, you may put the soul blasted cards onto the bottom of the deck in any order.

IL [Character Levels/Progression]
The rp world is affected by the power of your character's imagination, this is also a major part of the story itself. In some occasions, villains/npcs/other characters can have interactions that are affected by the level of this power. Certain boss fights will be easier as some bosses will lose their more powerful skill due to a higher Imagination Level. Imagination Level=/= Cardfighting Level story-wise, but they can be closely connected. A character can have a high IL due to more plot reasons.

Ex: Ernest Hemingway is more of a mentor figure to other characters and is an old, wise hermit. His imagination level is as high, or even higher than many of the story's main antagonists despite the fact that he does not cardfight much.

Imagination Level is raised when your character has undergone experiences which warrant an increase. If it is major enough and impressive enough, and develops your character to the point where it makes sense, it is something that will happen. As I control NPCs I will have them take note or challenge characters in this regard to an extent.

IL Unlock List:
Lvl 1: GBT01-5, 3 on-hit, 2 strides, +1 slot for plot card.
Lvl 2: 1st Character Skill [Major], on-hits may be varied a little.
Lvl 3: GBT06 unlocked, 8 Stride Zone, on-hits varied more
Lvl 4: 9 Stride Zone
First Gate: --- Lvl 4.5 ---
Lvl 5: 1 GBT07 unlocked, 1 G-Guardian, 10 Stride Zone
Lvl 6: Lesser Unlock Skill [Unlock 1-2 Heavy Cost]
Second Gate: --- Lvl 6.5 ---
Lvl 7: Stride Fusion, 11 Stride Zone, 2nd Character Skill [Major]
Lvl 8: GBT08 unlocked, 2 G-Guardians, 12 Stride Zone
Lvl 9: GBT09 unlocked, 3 G-Guardians, 13 Stride Zone
Lvl 10: Til Modern Format, 4 G-Guardians, 14 Stride Zone
Final Gate: --- Lvl 10.5---
Lvl MAX: End-Game

There's some other things like character's getting their own super powers if they so choose. Like Sarah has blue flame abilities for fancy RP purposes. That would be around lvl 5 to a small extent, then finally full control at lvl 7.

If you can pay attention to sets with your clan then do so. If not, then the deck/its cards are then mean to be built into the standard of your IL. If you are using something that isn't very much supported, then that is when character skill effectiveness can increase with a character's IL.


Physical Interaction Rolls and Etc.

Additionally, physical interactions can either be agreed with or be done through rolls. A character's roll maximum is give + 1 for each IL they have. With powers at IL lvl 5-6, they are given +3. At lvl 7, they are given a total of a +5 bonus due to powers. Characters that through backstory are physically fit/strong have a roll bonus of +2-6 [2 being somewhat skilled in combat, 6 being hard training its their life level], but for every IL their opponent has, the roll bonus is reduced by 1.
Example:
Claudius Eagle - IL 3, No Power +0, Champion Prize Fighter +6
Roll Max: 9 [-1 for each opposing player/npc IL (maximum reduction 6)]

Example:
Sarah de la Ophelia - IL 7, Bluish Flames +5, Bishop's Defender +5
Roll Max: 17 [-1 for each opposing player/npc IL (maximum reduction 5)]

[Hope]

There is going to be a tournament in the RP and stuff so I'm going to need a good grasp of everyones schedules and who can potentially join. I'm also changing it to be a bit more session based as well, so that everyone has a chance to join in the major stuff. For that I would need to actually really need an idea of schedules.
