blissauthorityHello all, I have two Valor game pitches for you come the summer or fall.
The first is the oft mentioned Gakuen Phantasia V: Adventurer's Class, my battleschool setting, now turned to a game. The obvious answer to a JRPG or D&D world full of old wizards leaving behind ruins full of semi-sentient alchemical slimes and Freakin' Owlbears? Form a high school for aspiring adventurers to learn a Class! A class for Classes, if you will (in a game that may have something to say about social class). It's a little bit RWBY, a little bit Dungeons and Dragons, and whole lot of Boku no Hero Academia.
(I get a little bit RWBY, and I don't ever wanna see more inequality, more inequality~)
You would be teammates in an adventuring party group for one of the Five Great Houses of the school, chosen for a combination of being friends and having usefully interlocking talents. You'd need to survive the classes and field trips - in the face of the aristocracy crumbling from democratizing new discoveries of technology and magic, and villains who would hang on to power, no matter the price, including the power of young adventurers they'd like in their pockets...
The second is Persona V: Tower of the Animus, an attempt at Persona with the following twists:
1: Everyone's persona is a legendary or fictional heroine; and
2: The aesthetic is magical girl, and Pretty Cure style fighting magical girl at that; color coordinated teenagers or college kids in frilly dresses punching, stabbing, and Agidyning malevolent Shadows in the face.
You would all be students: either at the fictional Sagittarius High School of Berkeley, CA; of UC Berkeley; or of the fictional Horizon Community College. It's an urban area near Oakland and San Francisco.
The guiding arcana is The Star, and I'd want each of your characters to give me thier Tower moment, when life needed to change or they'd be doomed, for use in making Shadows for them to face. Igor and his buddies Adam and Safie will of course help you out from the Velvet Room, on top of a great tower in the middle of Twilight...
Both of these would start in late summer or fall, and the afternoons or evenings Pacific time I'd have available would be Monday or Friday, possibly Saturday if Valoranger or S&V ends by then. Sunday I'm already running Reach Heaven Through Valor, my experimental PVP Heaven Will Be Mine riff...
Let me know who you are, how to reach you (esp. on Plurk and Discord), which games interest you and when you'd be available! It's possible I could run both, or just one, if interest and timing overlap...
Also, let me know what character concepts you have! One or two broad ones are fine.
Finally, ask me any clarifying questions you might need to ask, and I'll do my best to answer them...

Date: 2019-02-24 11:50 pm (UTC)I'm interested in the Persona campaign, and my character would be a transgirl at community college studying physics and science, hoping to transfer to full college soon. (Money issues.) Her Tower moment is when she came out to her parents and they tossed her out. Personality is cheerful and bubbly and helpful. She's got her demons, but she truly wants to help and keeps her demons very very quiet. (I'm thinking she'd either be nav or healer, if we're going true-to-canon for party composition.) I'll get back to you on Persona. I have ideas, but I need to find them.

Date: 2019-03-01 06:13 pm (UTC)I'd be interested in the Persona one; I think Mondays miiiight work for me, if late enough that I can get home from work at 8pm UK time.
Concept: get fully on my bullshit and play a butch lesbian agi/mind/guts mobile offtank/single-target control specialist. Not sure about fictional protagonist nature or arcana, but likely Artemis as underlying goddess; Tower moment likely either someone getting hurt because she didn't act, someone getting hurt because she tried to make things better and fucked up, or both.

Date: 2019-03-01 07:13 pm (UTC)I am interested in Gakuen Phantasia V: Adventurer's Class, narrowing down to one particular idea:
* A Rita Mordio-esque Tsundere Mage or Artificer. (I'm fairly certain tsundere is a racial template.) Has a bit of an explosion addiction; Very Large Areas Of Effect would be a thing she would actively pursue. An important objective would be her actually having a relationship with someone.
