The Waifu stories (interest thread)
0
INTRO
Well, it's about the end of summer, another waifu game has started in the games section and so I've thrown this up. I've always wanted to do a roleplaying topic involving waifu since it's always felt arbitrary simple claiming for its own sake. The most anyone does with a waifu after claiming one is simply spanking it on their signature.
Anyway, the last one failed because I seemed to turn one of the events into a giant write-your-own-story exercise than a legitimate roleplay. What I plan to do differently here is to make this more of a collaborative story with an element of roleplaying. What you see now is an interest topic, if I get enough people to show interest in joining, then I'll make this into a proper topic.
PREMISE
The premise of this topic is to create an environment where the players can actually do something with their waifu in addition to putting them on their signature. This is an open-world activity where players are free to go and do as they please, hence this is a character-driven story than a plot-driven one.
However, there's going to be different events that will occur as we go along-in fact I plan to start us with an event in order to get the ball rolling. Players will obviously be able to interact with one another in this and I would like to encourage as much co-op as possible. Another note is that the players are also going to be playing as the waifu they claim as well as their main character.
EVENTS
During this story, events will occur that will effect the entire group as a whole or just specific players and their waifu. The events will be posted in the topic, detailing the nature of the event and who it'll effect. Below are two examples
Story-wide events
Player-specific events
THE SETTING[/color]
Fakku-City was founded on December 1st, 2006 as a landing, a residential town to meet the immigration influx that had been happening a year before. Over the years, the city has grown into the small metropolis you see before you. The city is populated with people from every corner of Earth, the universe, the multiverse and every walk of life imaginable. There is much to see and much to do in this city, from it's museums and parks, to shops and restaurants, theaters and much more.
But, one must be careful as there are elements of crime, corruption and evil if you turn up the wrong stone or find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time. From your usual street gangs, yakuza and organized crime, to blood thirsty demons and lustful tentacle monsters.
Whatever the case, the city is your playground
RULES
1. Please keep OOC/Out of Character speak to a minimum. If you must say something to one of the players, pm them so we can keep everything moving.
2. Be respectful and play fair-this goes without saying that godmodding, flaming and the sort is out. If you are behaving in a disruptive way and not following the rules, you'll get a warning, after 2 you are kicked out.
3.You must have waifu in order to participate. Obviously in order to join this game, you have be involved in the waifu game and have claimed waifu. Those waifu must also appear in the game in some way, shape or form.
Edit:Each player is only allowed one waifu to play with. You're also allowed to use your waifu as a player character.
4.: Mecha, Loli and other things/characters you've claimed are allowed to be in the rp, but are not required like your waifu.
Having husbando (male waifu) is also acceptable.
Your character
In this, you'll play primarily as an original character based on yourself to an extent. There isn't much to say here, just make sure the character isn't something ridiculous. Any mary/marty-sue characters will be deined.
Below is a character sheet. It doesn't need to be followed to the letter, it's just a general template.
If you have any questions and such, feel free to post them here or pm them since this is just the interest thread. If enough interest is generated, either I'll convert this topic to the game thread, or simply put up a new topic with the actual story.

Though WGX was my first game, I found this RP concept to be interesting. Though, I'm not sure how many game participants would be interested in this.
But I agree with:
I read your RP post, so are you saying we will be playing ourselves AND our waifu in the same game? That would mean as many as six charaters for each player. Sounds complicated and difficult to keep all the various storylines straight. Also, do we also get to play the optional Gundam mecha in your RP game too?
How would multiple waifus work in this? And yeah, would the new 'claimed' mecha apply to this as well? (though I'm guessing probably not on the second part, given the setting)
Iono, could you explain a little more about Events? My concern is that even with Events, this RP may end up being like:
Especially if you're encouraging a completely open-world freeform RP world, many may just be tempted to write their own RP stories of spending them with their waifu(s). A possibility, based on what I understand of Events, is to have a more directed approach where RPers (and their waifus) work to achieve some common objective, which would encourage cooperation.
Anyways, I don't intend to put down this RP concept or anything. These were my initial thoughts after reading the basics you set down.

I was never aware of the mecha game. But if you see fit to include any mecha, lolis and other things you've claimed, then go ahead.

(though I'm guessing probably not on the second part, given the setting)Yeah, if I have the players play multiple characters 5-6 in total, things would get confusing and hectic. Instead, what I'll do is have the waifu be secondary characters. Your player character-the one your create for yourself-would be your primary and your waifu would be your secondaries.
A good example would be, say you are separated from any of your waifu, you can write about what they're doing while you're separated or have them drive the action for a while. You don't have to have every waifu in every post at all times though. Just keeping everyone abreast of what's going on is fine.

Think of the events as little plot points to add to your character's side of the roleplay. I hope that makes sense

That is true. The whole purpose of this rp in general is to just do something with the waifu we claim in the waifu game.
