Come on, give me something good...

There's a lot to discuss and no one to discuss it with. I originally wanted to make an individual thread for Sasaki & Peeps but eh, nevermind. What are YOU watching this fine season and what are you fancying?

Back on the old Card Maker, in the early 2010s (or was it slightly before? Whatever.), I started doing these all-all crossovers which eventually lead to me making X-Over Academy, which was about characters from all over the multiverse being in school. There was also a reworked version where the Academy was a type of magic school and the characters from all over the cosmos were their familiars. Others too have done their wee takes after this. But now, I want to bring X-Over Academy back in its purest form - as a school where characters from all different kinds of series get together. Original characters are permitted - but only if you can prove that they are from a roleplay or even Fanfiction that has graced either this site or the old one. EDIT: Instead of just characters from YCM or NCM, I am now permitting characters used from different sites as well, be it another forum, fanficdotnet, AO3, etc., as long as you can prove that they exist and were made prior a good long while to your signups. I understand that Discord RPs or other Chatroom RPs are popular and you'd want to use characters from those, so uh, I'll think of something. If you're going to ask if characters like MMO avatars or the like are permitted since they might fall into the 'originales des character' territory - yes, yes they are. Instead of a vaguely defined centre of the Multiverse like prior, I'm thinking the roleplay's setting will be a bit of a set world - specifically a section of Kivotos from Blue Archive. Kivotos is a big Academy City, and a lot of stuff happens. The Academy is meant to skirt the line of being a secret and being known - so what better way than to hide a tree in a forest, especially if a lot of things happen in said forest that are more interesting than the tree you're hiding? Plus there's lots of good places around. What do you think? Do you have other places in mind? In prior versions of the RP, there were 'normal' subjects in addition to combat classes, and by extension teachers. How about this one? Should I have many classes (obviously excluding combat-based classes if need be) be replaced by online learning - seeing how in school RPs, characters don't really roleplay them out? Or should I just have teachers as per normal? If so, playable or NPC? This RP will have the occasional incident in school to make things interesting, festival for celebration or field trip if you feel that your current location is a bit boring.

Well, there's no two ways about it. I made this post to inform anyone interested that I will be retreating. So that I can make a proper opening post. And plan a proper plot.

From the looks of things Digimon's taking the lead. If it does - I wonder if the wee bit of background of Digimon being spiritual beings before officially becoming "Digital Monsters" is something the cast should influence or aid in the transition of, or if the transition has already/is in the constant state of happening, and the cast ends up getting curious about the link between mysterious avatar lifeforms on the internet and ancient artifacts and doodles portraying worshipped beings. The former would make things a bit less "Digital", since they're not Digital Monsters yet, while the latter would be a decent mix of "Digital" and spiritual stuff.

There are beings out there who have persisted since the dawn of time. These beings are referred to by many times - spirits, gods, skin-walkers, and probably one too many names to count. They are special - in that at some point, they have started to be influenced by us, humanity. They take shapes and forms, and even constantly evolve and degenerate based on such forms. We worshipped them, they relied on our will and emotion to exist. In this new era where humanity is slowly but surely halting its belief in gods and spirits, these beings have adapted to become extensions of humanity’s new worship - the internet. In this transition, they have become beings that have become equal parts spirit, equal parts digital. This has allowed them to use technology as a conduit to gain access to our world, giving them the new name of Digital Monsters, or Digimon, and the realms they come from being a type of Digital World. ~~~ Meanwhile, on the other side, the three Digital Worlds - Norn, Illiad and Witchelny, are waging battle on each other. Something has caused their greatest champions, including their greatest warriors - the Royal Knights, the Olympos XII and the Vortex Warriors - to fight each other, believing that the crisis afoot had been caused by each other. Their constant crossing into each others' dimensions has caused the rift between realms to be that little bit more unstable. This has made the barrier between their worlds and ours that had previously been maintained for eons to have cracks, making it all the easier for the little Digimon to seep through.

As someone who's been wanting to indie game dev myself (my current phase has not even touched 'screw around with RPGMaker' and is still in 'story & characters'), this does motivate me a bit. Experimenting with plugins, foolin' with mechanics... ... well, I've only really skimmed this topic, but I intend to read it thoroughly for reference, and follow it from here on.

Is pizza cheating

all the gay

"I can't believe those grubby hands are finally over..." Sophia stands as the many-armed maniac yields, slowly crawling away. That was when she heard those screams, piercing through the air like daggers, accompanied by a strong energy signature. "What was that?" Sophia began to run to its source, noticing other spirits fleeing while ignoring her. "I doubt this is normal." Sophia's thoughts were about to shift as soon as she gazed upon the many-bodied, many-faced hellish creature. "Scratch that, this isn't normal, period!" turning to Leo, she said, "Oi, Cracker Jack, you retreat! Anything could crush you in this pathetic state!" Sophia would lend her two cents into this discussion. "For starters, we can't risk that big bozo striking us, period. If we can't defend, we'll just have to evade or..." Sophia snaps her fingers as various replicas of everyone were created from thin air. "... make sure that whatever he's hitting, it's probably not the real us!"

"It's always the sister who gets neglected, doesn't it?" Hel pouts at Sigurd addressing her siblings but not her, "I thought I'd be the more popular one." "You speak like you are the only one who prepared for this, Sigurd," Fenrir comments, "we all are. No matter how strong predator is, prey will not be underestimated." "You can try, Thor," Jormungandr scowls, "you can try and fail. You would sooner fall to my venom than I will fall to your hammer." "Now, now, just because we are forces of chaos, doesn't mean we should disrupt the order of this tournament," Hel interrupts, "Thor, I would say that I wasn't expecting you here, but this is what it is." "I have inherited the name Hrodvitnir. I represent the trinity," Hrodvitnir introduced, "I will be the final victory this event sees." "She really does take after my siblings. Not a lot of sportsmanship," Hel shrugs her shoulder as she indulges in the festivities, "what can I say? They're not the biggest 'big event' guys. Neither am I, actually, but I indulge in moderation."

Sniff sniff Sniff sniff Hrodvitnir was pleased to whiff the various smells wafting in the air. A variety of prey to hunt - perfect. She was tempted to wolf them down soon, but she was advised to wait for the right time to strike. "Hrodvitnir," Fenrir prowled towards his star pupil, "claim victory in our name, and you will become other new sister." "Ssssuch victory will be a piecccccce of cake," Jormungandr loomed over the two, slithering about, "without the bindssss of Ragnarok holding usss thanksss to the particcccipation of ssstudents, beasssst is sure to outdo god..." "Then it won't be a piece of cake, brother," the petite Hel popped out from Hrodvitnir's shadow, looking up to her serpentine brother, "our would-be sister is not the only beast among these men." "If there are other beasts there, I will show them that I am their rightful ruler," Hrodvitnir assures her mentors, "you will not need to fret. I will embody all your aspects in battle. The Apex Predator - he who dominates the circle of life. The Devourer - he who leaves none in his path. Death Itself - she who pursues and captures all life with no fail." "Alone, there is weakness to be exploited," Fenrir adds, "weaknesses that gods and men will take advantage of to claim dominance." "But together," Jormungandr cackles. "They will be the elements of an indestructable lifeform!" Hel laughs. The four walked up to the group. "Hello Zeus," Fenrir speaks to the leader of the Olympians, "have you met my siblings and I's pupil?" "Sssshe issss very promisssing..." Jormungandr adds. "We would know," Hel skips around, "because we were the ones who taught her everything! Teeheehee~." Jormungandr hisses towards Sigurd, lunging towards him before stopping as they made eye contact. "The fool Thor managed to get you assss a champion?" He snarled, "I wasss hoping that your master would be accompanying you today. But today, you are lucky that thissss issss not my fight." After an aggressive hiss, he returned to his group.

Those strange feelings, those strange images. They were the things keeping Sophia's mind occupied. What was that? Was it the end of the world. Yes, yes it was. The end of the world of slumber, that is. Beep beep beep beep "Who awakens me from my beauty sleep?" Sophia Manchester looks around and about as she rises from her bed, only to realize that it was her phone's alarm. It had rung at least five times in the past hour. "Oh, it's just you. Again. Please learn some manners." She gradually drifts back to the realm of dreams before realising something. "HOLY CRAP! I'M LATE!" She rises from her bed, shaking her hair as it almost magically fixes itself straight. Waving her hands, her clothes immediately transform from an evening gown to proper business wear fit for an interview, complete with heels. She slots some bread in a toaster as it pops out, spreading some jam on it and slotting it into her mouth. One might wonder if her ability to run on heels was her true power. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She struts into the building filled with many people, high-end perfume combined with a confident aura emanating from her body. She stood out - whether like a sore thumb or like a shining diamond in the rocks was a debate. "Me? Being lead by some plebeian? Ohohohohoho! What can you even do?" Sophia questions the high-ranker, but all this was soon interrupted by a giant serpentine beast interrupting the meeting, before being promptly exterminated. "That was luck!" She ascended the stairs, following behind Aki. "Looks like where we're going, we'll need- huh?!" A fiend of some sort, the size of a man, creeped about. Its wiggly, ever-increasing arsenal of stretchy arms felt about, and they were ready to feel Sophia herself! "Eek! A molester! Get him away from me!" Using her abilities, she seemed to create some kind of translucent barrier around her. The creature's sense of touch probed at it, as if it was a physical construct. She then formed spikes around this barrier, causing the being to flinch backwards in pain, even though no holes were punctured during this process.

How loose is the concept of god in this? Can I use guys like Momotaro, Merlin, Achilles and Heracles as gods or does it have to be god gods?
