School House Rumbles 3: The Reborn Age of Fighters RPG Discussion Thread 2

[Eternal Torment]

What have I missed?

Okay, let me try to summarize the main storyline progression.

So, turns out Father Jacob, who is presently there in Queen Tabia's palace with the Arcadians, is the reason why Tabia is immortal. Also, he's immortal because God.

He filled us in, informing us that Eden is now being policed by the Reclamation Force, and Volkov is now seen as a bigger hero than before.

Also, turns out the Gulag is the place the cloaked ships go to, and that the plan is to go to that underground prison to hijack the next ship that comes, which is in two days.

OOC: So your 18 year old german/egyptian martial arts master who is a Hank Pym level scientist now speaks fluent french in addition to having an edgy background that shows he killed two people but it really wasn't his fault so he's still kind of dark and edgy without any of the negative stygma?

Oh, and his token flaw is that he cares too much.

spoilers:

Sounds a bit like a Gary Stu

end of spoilers

Hey, he's not a martial arts master. Not by a long shot, and he's definitely not Hank Pym level.

Depends on what happens the next time Cammy nearly kills him.

Hopefully she won't.

Father Jacob is at the Castle talking to the cadets about how they should go about destroying the gulag, freeing the prisoners and taking down the dome.

Oh, and Cas nearly killed himself....again!

Hey now, it served a purpose... and it should be the last time. I promise.

Elewa's back too, and he's not as passive as he used to be.

Well, I think Dog might have dropped this game, so Selma's probably not going to be responding.

[FarBeyondC]

Wait, what's this about not keeping people invisible?

In the discussion section, that is.

[WickedElphaba]

To be fair, Skye only said the last bit - the rest was internal dialogue.

Everyone knows how Skye feels, her body language betrays her thoughts and feelings.

And plan Cammy basically amounted to sneaking past an army and then stabbing Volkov in the heart while he was talking a bubble bath or something

Wait, when was Vi killed by Volkov? I know Vakanai phased out of the game somewhere early on, but I missed where his character was confirmed KIA.

He dropped out around the same time Arcadia went boom.

Makes sense.

Some characters couldn't be written off as having never existed either... too much in-game interaction.

hard to say they all disappeared or worse in mid-game. Elewa gave us enough heartaches with his MIA. I hate acting like Norma never existed, the same may go for Selma and Kyra and Jeffery anyone else who just drops in mid game. These games should have a built in exit for players. When I GMed Xavier Academy, any time a student (player) left I just transferred the student to a different school.

I figured that all MIAs were hiding out in Tabia's castle for some reason.

Well, based on when the people dropped out, I worked up a reason/excuse as to why they haven't come back;

Vi - Died in Arcadia explosion
Norma - Disappeared in the ruins of Chicago, assumed dead
Lucic, Nero - Guest at Tabia's castle, chose not to fight Bardic
Kyra, Selma, Jeffry, King, Ember - chose to remain on Mars

It makes some sorta sense, to me at least.. and it gives them all a way back in, except for Vi. With the added benefit of not having to write them off as never existing in-game.

If we don't see from any of the other MIA posters, I'll just assume they stayed back with Tabia, because they weren't ready to fight.

We can leave it like that for now. Though I'd rather not automatically assume any of them died. Even Vi, who may have just escaped back into the city of Eden and is hiding out there. Norma was at the castle before Kevin dropped, so she'd be on the permanent guest list instead.

Well, I'm fairly certian Vi isn't coming back in-game.. But yeah.

And if Norma posted at the castle, that's better. So I'll go and edit my last post.

Call me an eternal optimist, even in an RPG death seems to be so final.
