Ok, if no one posts by tomorrow morning I'm gonna double post and advance things a bit. We really need to get this moving.

is this an RP?

is this an RP?

Yes, it's 4 RPs actualy, but with the same characters

Who started it?

'Golden_sun', but he left the RP very early, but Josiah, myself, Silver, Ibyn and a few other members saved it and kept it going.

Can i join in chapter 5?

Not likely. ROM is like a forum exclusive RP. You have to be a member for a long time, be a fairly good RPer and have read over the last lot. Besides, we were thinking chapter 4 would be the last RP for ROM. A few of us were toying around with the idea of a spin of set a few years later, but were still working on it, and that won’t start until the current ROM RP is over.

if so, What will i need to post?

Answered in question three. Sorry

Come on, let's get this moving. We're already really far along. If you're having trouble thinking up something for your character to do just try to do it like we did in the old ROMs and make it up as you go along. If no one posts soon I'll double post and try to jump things ahead a bit but it'd be nice if I don't have to resort to that.

*Kicks himself*

Gomenasai.... I should have told you guys that my family was moving house again, but I was not expecting to have to move so soon. I had to wait until my son was done with his machine to write this because mine got busted in the move. (Yeah. It is and has been a rough move. We're still unpacking and regrouping at this moment.)

I just hope everything smooths out soon so we can kickstart this and wind it up.

Let's see... Here's a checklist of sorts of what we have to do before the end of the RP. Let me know if I messed up or forgot anything.

1. Find the eight weapons (if we're lucky some might not require much searching.
2. Defeat the remaining Sins and get their virtue cards: Greed (Kindness for Neo), Lust (Restraint for Josiah), Envy (Valor for Silver).
3. Return Shauni to normal.
4. Defeat Vanderbilt and her army.
5. Defeat the revived Moenn.

So, we should probably focus on the weapon quests for now. Hopefully most of them won't take too long. Might be good if Silver and Opal rejoin soon to help search or maybe one of the Aespers will show them where some of the weapons are before they come back to the main group.
The remaining sins will mostly likely attack at various points during the weapon quests so that'll take care of them.
I'm assuming Shauni has plans for her character so we'll just leave #3 to her for now.
Vanderbilt should come shortly after the weapons and sins are taken care of and naturally we'll have to fight through the army to get to her. Or part of the army anyway... I got plans for some of it...
And finally Moenn.

Well, let's get to it! I'll be posting in either later today or tomorrow but in the meantime feel free to post. I really want to get this moving.

Well it's about time someone posted. Anyone else? Anyone? Well, if no one else posts soon, especially no one in my group, I'm going to do it and kinda skim through the whole revolover quest as quickly as possible to get things moving again. So, if you don't want me skimming through the quest post very soon. If you don't care about the quest then I suppose you could wait and post after I do although everyone should really be posting a lot more often regardless.

Sorry. Sorry. Work and other responsibilities have been cluttering up my time and mindspace, mew...

Anyways, I'm trying to get this quest kickstarted... expect a few baddies and some encounters when I find my notes. ^^;; And I have some things that I'm planning to bring back from the past three installments of ROM.

I'll try to at least bring up something before I head out to camping with me clan... if not, expect something on Monday.

Shoot me if nothing comes up. *grin*

What are the 8 weapons? (Sorry if already mentioned ^^) Maybe Silver and I can stumble across 1 or 2.

Post by **Simeon** » Sat Aug 25, 2007 3:49 pm

Actually, that is misinformation.

There are actually 7 Asper Weapons, one weapon corresponding to each Aesper according to legend.

The 8 refers to 8 Incarnations of the Virtues. There are seven 'counter-sin/virtue' incarnations... plus an eighth incarnation that represents the Key to the Gate. The Aespers protected the Incarnations before losing their human forms to become the Seven Asper Beasts that now roam Cap-Cannon.

Three Asper Beasts are allied with Simeon, and their 'cards' are marked on his iron staff. The other four are still wandering around... It is an imperative that all the Asper Beasts are found so all their corresponding weapons can be properly located.

Simeon will not be receiving an Asper Weapon. Instead, he'll be partnering with the Aesper Beasts as we find them.

-- Current Aspers
Aerobreaker (Dragon) - Yuki Revolver - Kindness (... don't ask why. I can't figure it out either... I think.)
Aarrul (Blue Wolfman) - Lunar Rakers (a pair of Gauntlet Claws ala Freddie Kreuger!) - Patience
Aegis (sliver w/ gold trim Paladin Armor) - Holy Claymore (Really big lightsaber) - Dilligence

-- Wandering Aspers
Arc (Old Man with thunder) - Arclightning Staff - Humility
Arson (Firey daemon thing) - Flame Cannon (Looks and acts like Megaman's Buster... but it's a flamethrower and shoots fireballs. Whee.) - Abstinence
Amythyst (glowing purple kitty with a split tail) - Windfall Crossbow - Chastity
Adonis (Odin/six-legged centaur) - Gaean Warhammer - Liberality

Since we need the Aespers to handle the weapons, you can find the quests for the weapons, but they won't be active until the weapon's Aesper is found... and when their chosen wielder has the weapon.

Might be a good idea to start calling who gets what now... Obviously Jeff's going to get the Revolver... And I have a pretty good idea who's going to get Arson's and Amythyst's weapons ...

Also considering drawing up a rough map of Cap Cannon while I'm gone, just so we have an idea of what the world looks like, mew.

See you Monday.

EDIT: Oh! And we will be reintroducing Vanderbilt's Army into the mix... the description of her army should be right after the tournament on Josiah's/Breezedrop Island.

I was planning to bring Vanderbilt's Army back in eventually. Do your plans for said army involve Cap Cannon? Mine mostly involve Orca and some of the important NPCs from pervious ROMs. If so, we can just say that the army is split between the two continents and both do our things.

I've got a map in my head but no time to draw it any time soon unfortunately. Anyone else want to try?

Hmm... Josiah doesn't really need another weapon (having the Zodiac Sword and all) but he'd probably end up with the Claymore or maybe the Crossbow or Cannon...

We should probably finish off the remaining sins before too long. I already have plans for Lust since Josiah is going to get her card and all so leave her alone. Greed and Envy are fair game though.

So yeah, the sins will probably die before we find all the weapons. Said weapons will be the last side quest before we take on Vanderbilt and Moenn.

Rest assurred, Josiah-sama, I really didn't have plans to have said army to pop in right away (aside from the usual video game cannon fodder motif.), though I really was under the impression that the army was 'generalled' by the Sins...

We need more random monster battles! *gets shot*

Some random battles certainly wouldn't hurt.

I think the original idea, before Shauni suggested the Sins as this ROM's bosses, was to have a collection of army generals that we'd fight. However, I don't think the Sins themselves were ever said to be generals. And, considering how they just seem to be doing their own thing in the RP, I'd assume that they're not generals.

Of course, we could always ressurect the Chaos Generals idea if we think we need more mini bosses...

I'll try and post something over the next couple of days if I have time. My schedule won't really settle down until sometime next week though.

Josh is right, we just decided the sins were bad guys, not what level they were at.
