Hey everyone ^_^.
The real reason, as I said, for this section is for a project of mine that is scattered around Boggs Board.
Anyway. As most of you know except for the newbies, I'm making a Randall RPG.
You might get confused. It's NOT one that you each take turns writing something. It's something you ACTUALLY play, like a PC game.
Anyone interested?

Yeah. I've got RPG Maker for PC. I can make and ENTIRE game. Make the characters, the items, monsters, story, everything in an RPG.
You want to know the story?
And.....do you want to be in the story? (this goes for everyone here)

Sure, I'd love to hear the story. And being in it would be marvelous, but I don't want to cause any problems, y'know?
Awesome tool, by the way. Where on earth did you get it?

Ok here's the story:
Randall had been exiled to the Human world for...well lets say 1 to 2 years. One day, while trying to sneak into a house to get through a child's door, Randall is caught! (By this time, Randall has experienced allot in the feild of pain).
Then we switch to the other two party memebers. As a matter a fact, most of you know one and all of you here know the other. Anyway. It seems these two are searching for Randall and have found out where he had been sighted....
Back to Randall. First thought as animal control, Randall finds himself in a metalwork facility. There, he is questioned by their head, Alexander. Alexander discusses about the mysterious "Origion Point" about Mons, which Randall says he knows nothing at all about.
Using his wits, Randall escapes. He discovers a blob monster in the facility named Devon and escapes with him.....
When they are caught, they are saved by the two searching for Randall.
From then on, they all help Randall to return to Monstropolis. Randall is keen on revenge at first, but...........
Soon, Alexander comes in to raid the Mon world for this mysterious Origion Point.
From there....
Randall has two choices. Does he take revenge on those who had taken his life away? Or does he save them and Monstropolis from this threat? =
Hows that?
Problems? Oh no no. You won't cause any problems. YOU'LL be a character in the game. Either playable, NPC, or informer. You can't cause any problems, you open up new possiblities...
Well, I heard about RPG Maker 2000 and searched the web. I found it, downloaded, and got 2003!!! I got a package with midis, charasets, and various other things.
OH! Quickly, you DON'T need to download RPG Maker to play this game.

Wow, Sean, you've got an absolutely incredible thing going on here! Randall owes a lot to you, ne? If I wouldn't be in the way, then whoah---I'd love to be a character. Do you need profiles, or are you good without?

Post by RandallBoggs on Feb 21, 2005 22:19:09 GMT -5
Well....Randall and me owe each other's lives. So....I guess this only repays a portion....
Anyway.
Yeah. You can be a character. This is what I need to know.
Your simple characteristics: (Things like eye color, hair, what you wear (color). Things like that so I can pick a couple of charsets for you to be)
Type of Character: (Like I said before, do you want to be in battle (charset choices limited), an informer (You give Randall a task to accomplish and either wait or go with him), or just plainly another character (many options).
Character personality/profession: (Something that defines your character (Such as Randall's the hero, Devon's the adept) and the personality your character has)
Umm....I think thats it but....maybe more. I guess thats it for now.
Of course every Randall Fan here *looks around* can be with Ran in some way. Take Pitbulllady for example. She...hasn't told me she wanted to be in the game. But with everything she knows about Randall, she could be an informer. Telling about Randall's comparision to human world reptiles, possibly hints to new quests, and maybe an enemy bestainy.
OH! I got Bio's for the set characters (light and dark). Want to see'em everyone?

Post by AvistheCrow on Feb 22, 2005 15:31:06 GMT -5
I'd love to see 'em, Sean. ^_^ And it's sweet knowing Devon will be around! *pokes Light Rises*
Okay, bio.
Simple characteristics: I look like my avatar---blond messy hair, jeans and a black turtleneck, and blue eyes that change color with my mood. I look like an artistic mess.
Type of Character: Wherever it would be easiest for you to fit me in.
Character personality/profession: The Poet, basically attempting to keep my life together while I'm shuttled from doctor to doctor. Typically I'm the bundle of stress that acts calm enough...
But any time a friend's in trouble I'll be the first to start ranting and I tend to fight back, which may or may not be a good thing. I'm best at sneaking out of or bluffing my way through just about any situation. (But of course I use my powers for good! XD)
EDIT: My brother just asked me what the heck any of those 'professions' would be good for. Isn't it obvious? "Oh, officer, thank goodness---isn't it terrible?! He was such a wonderful monitor lizard and now---now! You have to get those jerks! Just LOOK at him! What, haven't you seen a monitor before? Eight legs and a beautiful black with gold spots---but LOOK at him NOW! They painted him PURPLE! Officer, please, I think I know the name of one of them---his name's Ben---Benjamin Fisher---he's the bully of our street---his number's 562---should you get a piece of paper out?"

Oh! I thought Devon was a universal name like "Moe". Dev-on = Female Devon = Male Ooops. Ok first off your character.... Well lets see...hmm....well first your face set and your charset.... Here we go: This is what appears when you talk. Your second in the last row. This is what your character looks like walking around. I think your female, you didn't tell me. But I looked over everything and I think this may be a best fit. Is it good enough? Oh! And you can be in battle if you want to as a playable character, I've got a battle set. Ok I'll post the bios in a moment.

Alright. First up, the good guys! (And the crowd goes wild! "Yah") These are, so far, the main 4 playable characters in the game. As you can well imagine, Randall is the hero (of course ^_^). But that doesn't mean he needs some help along the way. You might remember 2 of the main party members ^_^ Name: Randall Boggs Class: Lone Monster/Underdog WOC: His whole body, tail Bio: Born in another world, Randall has lived a rough and complex life. Being orphaned since he was 3, Randall slowly lost all those that cared for him in different situations, each leaving a scar in his heart he carried forever. Randall trained hard to rise in the ranks through prejudice and being pushed by others. Soon he became the best at his desired job as a Scarer, but lost it to his long time rival, James P. Sullivan. Soon Randall was forced to create an illegal machine for his boss, who had planned to place any blame on Randall. Being promised fake rewards, as well as threatened, Randall did what he was told. Still, Randall never liked it. In the end, Randall was thrown into the human world by James Sullivan and has been there for nearly a year now. Randall vows to right the wrongs done to him by any means necessary. Though soon he comes to choosing to face down his rival or to save the monster world from a dangerous threat. Which one Randall chooses is to decide his fate, as well as those of others. Facts: Headstrong and confident, Randall is one to hold grudges when he wants to. Having lived a harsh life, Randall understands the terrible undertakings of life and abides by them. Randall is incredibly fast, having ran so much in the human world, but having the use of eight feet. Randall was an effective combatant in the Monster World, but due to his time in the human world, Randall had met with many close calls. With such, his body is battered and beaten and makes it harder for him to fight. His defense is also not as high because of this. Randall is very intelligent beyond his peers, though he possess little knowledge of magic, which he has not yet learned completely about. Overall, Randall is the fastest of the party, and thus gives him multiple times to attack enemies. His skills mostly compile of his body, such as his teeth and his ability to constrict. Randall the Risker, he could be called. Name: Sean Class: Loner/Swordsman WOC: Sword, Blades Bio: Born in the human world, Sean is proposed as a loner, a person wanting to be alone with those that won’t understand him. His characteristics are similar to Randall’s, one of the reasons why Sean considers Randall more than a friend. Sean, himself, has lived a sheltered life, having to deal with social and family issues. Possessing intelligence beyond his peers, Sean’s interests went into proposed mythological and ancient related topics. His pure interest went to the thought of magic and monsters. Sean soon became focused on a particular monster that was thought of by most to be evil, though having experience Sean knew better. Finding others that shared his opinion, Sean soon learned what it means to have friends. Joining a partnership with Joy, Sean soon pledged to find the “so-called-evil” monster and to help him with his cause. Sean knows the difference between right or wrong, but is willing to adjust them how he sees fit. When he is informed that Joy had a lead on finding Randall, Sean took to his sword to show Randall that he has friends he hasn’t met yet. Facts: Sean has a strong sense of justice and never gives up on something he believes in. Having known the sheltering life and the feeling of being alone, Sean compares well to what Randall has been through. Sean is experienced in melee fighting, but takes to the sword in situations requiring power to solve the problem. Sean possess great strength, not just because of his weapon, but because of training by himself. Although its thought that power hinders agility, Sean breaks this law. He is as fast at dodging as he is with his blade. Sean does not possess much defense, as he prefers quickness of a sword. He does possess knowledge of magic, but not enough to perfect it. Prince of Swords, he sometimes calls himself. Name: Joy Class: Healer WOC: Knuckles Bio: Born in the human world, Joy had lived a normal life with her parents and brother. Joy is a very caring person, not wanting to hurt other’s feelings but is will to help them as an act of kindness. She spreads her interests wide and has obtained many friends with similar views. When she soon learned of Randall, he views shifted to him. In an unforgettable occurrence, she met Sean. The two became partners in her site dedicated to the monster and the two became best of friends. Joy shares similar traits that Sean has to Randall. In such, she can also compare to Randall. When she finally caught word of where Randall could possibly be, she went to tell Sean. Getting into a bit of scuffle, but having help from Sean, the two embarked on what was thought to be a short adventure. Joy is willing to help anyone, including Randall, to help them through the tough times ahead. She gives hope to those who need it. Facts: Joy has gained much medical experience over the years she had been with Sean. Having gotten into a few tight spots, Sean always welcomed Joy’s help in mending. Regardless of who it is, Joy is willing to help tend the wounds of anyone. Joy would at first be thought of as a person with not allot of strength, but this is wrong. Joy is an experienced melee fighter who’s as fast with her fists as she is with comebacks. She may not be as strong as Sean, but she comes close. Joy’s careful nature also gives her the best defense of the party. She is as fast as Sean is, as running is a weekly exercise for her. Like Sean, she doesn’t possess much knowledge in magic, but she does have more extends than he has. She, and many others including Sean, had nicknamed her “Randall’s Angel”. Name: Devon Class: Mage/Magic User WOC: His Knowledge of Magic Bio: Devon is a mysterious blob that Randall meets during his escape from “the lab”. Having teamed up, Randall had managed to escape with him. Devon himself cannot express facial expressions, so nobody knows really how he feels, though the intention is in his voice. From Randall’s knowledge, Devon seemed to have been discovered by his captors deep from within the Earth. Devon says that he is born from the planet as crystallized ooze and soon evolves into a blob. Having been part of the planet for an extended period, knowledge of it had transferred to him, giving Devon the ability to cast magic and spells unlike most. Devon uses his power responsibly, as he say’s magic cannot be given to just anyone, as it has caused chaos in the past. Devon seems to want to live a normal life among the other monsters, such as Randall, and to lock away his magical powers unless they are needed. However, his plans change when decides to join Randall. Facts: Stern talking and wise, Devon could be similar to a teacher. Although Devon contains the knowledge of the planet, Devon is still a learner in his magic. He is still trying to control his ability to master elements, some consisting of fire, water, earth, and wind. Devon does not want his magic to be used for evil purposes, which is the reason he joins Randall. Devon possess the most knowledge of the group and a solid defense against magic. His defense and speed are average, slightly comparing to Sean and Joy’s. His health is low however, but is less subjected to effects such as poison. Devon prefers no other name, but is sometimes called the “ArchMage”.

XD I knew it wasn't Light-Rises' Devon, but I thought it was a neat twist that there was the shared name there. ^_^ And yes, thanks, I'm female; who loves battling when able. XP You got a perfect match.
I could write out my own bio to make it easier, if that would help any.
Ooh, ooh. Can I muss with my talking-pic a bit?

Oh yeah....Light Rise's Devon.....
Your own Bio? Ok. Just model it after the one's I have here. Their going in the booklet after all ^_^.
Oh....if you mind if your face doesn't match your char or battlchar sets then you can fix it up.

^_^ What absolute fun! I've always wanted to learn more about making RPGs... ;D If you don't mind explaining a bit more about yours, any bits of info about what you're doing would be great. Mm-hm, bio...here's the basic nift, and you can tuck as you see fit in the places I've left blurry---for example, I don't know when or where this Crow will come in the picture, since that depends on what will be easiest for you, so I didn't elaborate. Had fun cutting around with the picture, too. ^_^ I love things like these. (I feel like a little kid! XD) Right. So let's get this serty evilness over quickly, shall we? Avis Profession: (basic thief type) Jack-Of-All-Trades. WOC: The nearest hard object. Avis---who is always protesting that it's pronounced AH-vis, not AY-vis: "It's LATIN, you dolt! You ever heard of LATIN?"---is someone you run into whenever's convenient. Having had quite a few problems concerning mental and physical issues, she is now a strange mix of an intellectual and a spur of the moment nutcase. Very uncomplicated in that she doesn't have any ulterior motives; a schizophrenic, but not dangerously so. (Note to Sean: Dynamical-wise, there's not much this RPG character can offer, but story-wise she can typically earn her keep by being a good Filler Inner. If you have a humorous idea in mind but know that no smart person would ever say or do that, she will; if you need someone to represent a safe place to recoup or someone to blame something on/excuse something because of, she works well with wild-card issues like being a good convincer and able to slip in and out of places unnoticed. Basically you can use my character to fill in any holes that are being annoying. She can get blamed for a lot believably because she has no UMs.) Her personality is naturally one that sympathizes with and wants to help others; it would only take a few moments to convince her that Randall is someone worth helping. Despite her obvious schizophrenia and typical cowardice when it comes to confronting someone she's helpful in her own way: she excells at smooth-talking and has excessively good sleight-of-hand, making any run-ins with other humans far easier to get around or through. Magic is nil and defensive power is very low; her only natural protective asset is an ability to dodge attacks well or aid others by drawing fire. She's a fearful person who has no warrior's spirit or training, and attempts to avoid confrontation---until any spark of animosity towards someone she cares about it shown. Once this occurs she bypasses all rational thoughts and boundaries and goes breserk; always hits hard and fast and can pierce through almost any armor despite her own lack of it, since she's an anything-goes student and will start gnawing at your ankle if that's the only weak spot. She won't let go until you beat her unconscious, either. Pretty raving, blind and stupid during fighting, in other words, with a high pain threshold and level of endurance. She doesn't necessarily fight clean, either---she picks up the nearest hard item and starts swinging, or tackles and beats. Due to her flipping and concerned nature, however, as soon as the threat is gone she's typically the one running over to help up the person she knocked down and to attempt to get to know them better. An interesting, if slightly unstable, person. So there's that. Hope she opens up some possibilities for humor or somewhat. (She takes abuse well. ) People like using her to fill in holes or add humor, so I hope she's helpful there. And here's the avatar I had so much fun with. ^_^

Uh....wow....umm....Ok... What do you want to know exactly?
That's pretty elaborate.....
Hmmm....now basically..........
Your characters a sort of loner who helps who she truely thinks needs her. You probably would be best as a guide in some places. I'm thinking kinda like secret passages, hidden places to meet up. Of course, if you want humor..... You could get us lost a couple of times ^_^.
Uh...so far simply....how's that? Simply remind you.
Ok....should I post the bad guys?

Oops, sorry---didn't mean to be so vague. ._.; Suppose you tell what you're working on at the moment?
And yo, use her however you want; anything goes. I want to be something useful, not a pain. ^_^
As for the bad guys: please do!
