Okay, here's a story line for you, I may work on this one as a side-project to Xenowars.
One fateful day in Venice, Italy, Alex was posting on his Charas forum, but while writing a reply to some kid who was talking about Nebraska way to much, when a pop up ad came on to his screen. When he was about to close it, something on it caught his eye. 'Congratulations, you own the most popular message board in the universe, you can upgrade your forum to MMORPG style by clicking her courtesy of Venice Xplorer.' Alex thinks for a second and then says 'heck why not, this'll be the coolest thing ever' He watches his forum turn into an incredible world, and his game is aboslutely wonderful. Everyone in the charas forums start playing it. There's only one problem. Once they start playing it, they can't stop, and the only way to stop is to win the game. If you get gameover, the game over screen will show in all it's high resolution, high framerate-ness, giving the player seizures. The Charas community must work together to beat the game and survive!
Hahaha, fun huh?
anyway if you wanna be in it as a PC, NPC or boss or something, post here.
And Alex, please say your a PC, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
-
Can you say . Hack, but oh well, it should be fun anyway.
-
*already done twice* Um...i'll be a PC.
-
Okay Kairou's a PC, and uh, already done twice???
-
*YAWN* These Charas-games are really getting boring...
-
He means the number of times someones attepmted a Charas game. And I actually think that it might be more like 5 times.
However, this is actually my favourite, in terms of the idea. I really like it. It's like the Matrix.
Count me in! I'd like to be a PC, and in my charset etc. can be found here (http://charas-project.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=2368&forumid=11&catid=4).
EDIT: Y'no, I think some people should be "Game masters", like villans who control the evil game. These would be bosses, and there should be an ultimate Overlord of the game.
Also, you might want to limit the number of entries.
-
oh, okay I see now.
I intend to follow through with this one, and the storyline is pretty cool even it it is .hackish. Your a registered PC now Red Giant. and uh, just wondering, have any of these charas games ever been finished, or what?
Edit: I like your Game masters Idea, I'll see what I can do with that one.
Edit2: as for limits, umm... PCs min. 10, max. 20.
NPCs min. 30 or else I'll just have to find people to throw in there.
Bosses or game masters: Min. 5 Max.25
heck, if you want, you can be a summon, or an item or something weird like that.
-
I got a couple of friends in my neighborhood helping too, so please, sign on.
-
I'll be a boss. Also, have Light Speed shoes for accessories.
-
I'll be a bad dude. Try using Memnarch (http://www.wizards.com/magic/autocard.asp?name=Memnarch) for the sprite, if you can.
-
Hehe... I can be a summon. Just a normal bahamut summon, but somewhat darker.
-
a also wanna B a boss....a warlock...maybe sounds recognizable:p
the charset will be post here...and when "i" die, i turn in a huge dragon that destroys himself:p
here's a charset of tha mage...but i don't got no one of the dragon
-
i wanna be in it!!! i dont care what i am as long as i am not like a bystander or a pedestrian or somthn like that. i dont have the charecter set yet. i'll get it by tommorow or somthing.
-
I'll be in it, Make me a boss, a helper, a hero, ANYTHING, just least likely a boss, ^^;;
I'll make a sprite sheet ASAP
EDIT: Maybe I should've read the top. I would LIKE to be a PC, but a helpful NPC at the least
-
I would've edited my last post to give it an attachment but I can't. Anyways, I have it done, if you want the clean BMP, I'll send it via email (on the count I don't want to clutter up the messageboard)
-
i don't really care what I am,
just know that my char is a wood elf
-
the other one
-
Woohoo, now that's more like it, keep 'em coming.
-
Oh, by the way, since it is an "online" game, your character can be pretty much anything since you get to create him/her at the beggining.

Nope. Please be the first, you'll go down in history.
-
I know this is a slightly old topic, but I like the idea.
now, y'know in the metal gear solid series, you find out about the 'patriots' who are working in the background. big, bad, and they run everyhting... if you had those in the game, i wanna be one of those... if not, i'd just be a big bad boss...
an impopsters and BMPs can be enemies!
-
Ooh I would like to be a NPC!!! Yes that's right a NPC. Perhaps a shopkeeper maybe... Or a guy that says useless stuff so long as he pops up in nearly every populated town. I like link the red link personally
-
*gasp* I know it's not mine but I have poses as well on my own sheet if it's needed
-
Sorry, I haven't checked here in a while, but please, keep 'em coming, I intend to follow through, but if not enough step up to be in this project, then it really can't be called a Charas game. I have worked hard on this and have a few neighbors and friends helping out. It also looks like if I finish this game, it'll be the first game actually put up on this board in a looooooong time. Just a question for everyone: how many maps do you think should be in the demo? I don't want too make it to long or too short. I hope this works out! Oh, yeah I'm also not the kind of person who cans a project for no reason at all, and the only way this game could possibly get canned is if not enough people join, and please, Alex, help us out, it is your forum, so obviously you should be the main character, it wouldn't feel right otherwise. If any of you talk to Alex a lot, please mention this thread, I don't think he comes to this part of the Forum very often.
-
I'd be a character. Kind of the silent one. :]]
A charset for it is attached. You can use my avatar for the face set.
-
Sorry hate to double post.But I have a great idea for a litlle change for the story line PM me beacouse is about the bad guy of the story the one who send the popup to Alex. It's good plzzz you whont regret. :D
-
Sounds cool =D I'm in. Pc. I'll make my charset and stuff soon and post it here =D
-
Sorry my avatar changed so you should better use this for my face:
-
we currently have 8 PCs (including me) and hopefully we'll be able to tack Alex onto this. I would like 2 more to fill the minimum of 10 PCs, and we have a Maxamim of 20, so if you want to be a PC post ASAP
On a side note, here are a few of the Characters' motives:
Alex (may be removed if Alex prefers not to join):
As the creator of Charas, and as the one who clicked the pop-up add in the first place, Alex feels it is his duty to save Charas from disaster as he discovers the game is to addictive to stop playing.
Cornhusker:
Excited for the first game of the NCAA (american) Football season, he bought tickets from a friend for $145 (if you aren't familiar with American currency, basically with $145 you could by about three of the latest, greatest video games with that) and can't wait to go, but unfortunately, the Charas game's spell on him won't allow him to leave his computer, and the game is almost started. Desperately he tries to break the spell. He also has to go to the bathroom really bad, giving him another reason to defeat Charas the game.
Vicener:
The Charas game was so amazing that he is speechless, litterally. Whle playing the game, he doesn't have the ability to talk, rendering his USB headset useless. Now that he can't talk, he wishes that all of his keys on his keyboard would work instead of just the arrow keys, the space bar and enter key, and the . key. All he says throughout the game is "...". I feel sorry for the poor kid.
Araloth:
A boy obsessed with mythical beings from legend and folklore. He quickly decided in the charas game to be a wood elf, and plays happpily until he notices that a leprechaun is dancing around him, making fun of him. He knows this may be his only chance to prove to the world that leprechauns are real, but because the game is so good,he can't take his hands off the keyboard.

____________________________________________________
Trikitiger:
Because he was frustrated with people confusing him with a monster and attacking him, he joins the party simply so people would no longer get him mixed up.
Red Giant:
Wants to stop playing the game so he can make the person who made the game's head 'a splode'. Also wants to stop playing ASAP because he is simply annoyed by Cornhusker's 'Husker-ness', then again who isn't.
Kairou:
Simply worried for the health of the Charas users. Also can't reach that Ice Cream Sandwich that he loves so much.
Fade:
Wants to be well known all over charas so he joins the party to be 'cool'. He's also trying to 'score points' with the Administrators and Moderators, and can give them EXP.
Sk8rman: (pending character, don't know if he still wants to be here)
Trying to stop playing so he can meet skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. Another character who is also annoyed by Cornhusker.
____________________________________________________
If you want me to change your motives, take you off the list of heroes, or if I messed up an got something like your gender, interests, or whatever wrong, post here.
Edit: Looking for a min. of 10 PCs, and only have 7-9. (2 pending)
-
:o OMG it's like you know me
EDIT: Is the game the same whoever you play as? If so, you should change minor/major parts so that different things happen when you play as different people.
That way, people will be encourged to replay.
Also, this is alot like a Matrix parody I read. Instead of a virtual "prison", in the parody the Matrix was a virtual world that people had actually chosen to hook up to.
-
Well, I am psychic, I think... anydangway, I think I am going to allow you to select from the PCs so your adventure can be different, but right now, I'm focusing on Alex's, since he's the head honcho. And someone, please let Alex know we need him, hail Alex :bend: .
Hang on a second 'it's like I know you??' Hey, I'm not that annoying!!!
Edit: hmm... I never read the parody
-
Allen wonders if he can be in it. Since he's new, he'll just ask to be an NPC. I like the whole idea of the game, and I think I'd be an odd person to run into, so..err...yeah.
I'll attach a set that has me, well, two of me. One with Allen wearing his striped tie, and the other without the tie and a blue shirt showing instead. (I think the second looks better...)
I wouldn't have to be an important NPC, I'd just like to be a part of it is all.
Many thanks, and I look forward to hearing progress later on.
-
sure, Nick says he'll even have it so you speak in the third person like you do... The more people the better anyway :)
-
Heh, sounds good.
You could make me say random things if yah wanted, such as;
"Hmm...marshmallow bowling..." or "Allen is Queen of the squirrels! Chikoo-chikoo!" ..err..King.. >_>
Either way, many thanks for considering Allen as an npc, and feel free to do whatever you wish with it. ^_^
-
If you want a mystic cleric that also happens to be a Moderator, Sai'Kar is at your disposal.
Sai'Kar stuffage can be found in the complete resources (search for things done specifically by me). If you need anything else then ask.
-
Well, this is getting better and better... the more people who join the better. And if Alex doesn't come, I may have some, err... renovations to do on my game. I get the feeling Alex doesn't look here much... but if your reading this now, help us out here Alex.
-
hey, don't forget me!
I'm trying to become a Beta-Tester, and waiting for them to reply...
If your wondering, I'm a Black Mage.
As much as I'd like to be the villan, i'd like to be a PC, or a CPC (computer Player Character)
Or the Shop keeper for Magic...
-
Perfect! With so many PCs, NPCs, and stuff at my disposal, I've come along way thanks to you guys. My database is nearly finished, and I'm working on the demo!!! Keep sending stuff in!!!
-
No prob.
If your adding VG Villans as well, I did J E N O V A. (FF7)
-
Well, I dunno about putting Jenova in, but I'll definitely consider it.
-
I'm prolly best as a boss. Cause my character as a PC would be wierd..just wierd...i would know, I use him in my game.
So here's Trevlac:
-
Edited my Character, and when are the screens gonna be shown?
