This is going to be my first attempt at starting an rp. I will play as Zaine and the main villain, whom I still have yet to make a profile for. The list is open for the gang and adults, and you can bring your own characters also.
Littlefoot: Kor
Cera: Threehorn
Ducky: Kor
Petrie: Ptyra
Spike:
Chomper: The Great Valley Guardian
Ruby:
EDIT: By now, Zaine has met everyone in the valley.
EDIT: The RP has started, but you can still join if you want to.
-
I'm in! I know who I'm playing now...
Longtail (duh)
Cyrix (Another OC of mine!)
And Chomper!
-
Oooo! Second Stone of Cold fireeeeeeeeeee :o ! Meexited!
Me Petrie:p ! And perhaps, err...Pytra :rolleyes:
*cough* Bit more clear, I'd like to be Petire, Plx, and then my char, who is pretty much automatically taken, Ptyra :P:
-
Mim and Diver both oc's of mine. As for Fc's I'm not sure. I'll wait a bit and see.
-
I'll perhaps bring in some of my original characters.. Denton the longneck and Bryce and Ellie (twin brother and sister swimmers)
-
I wonder how many are interested in the fc's. I may do Ducky instead of Diver, unless someone really wants to rp as Ducky.
-
So can we explain the plot a little bit, please? I understand it revolves around yet another stone of cold fire, but what else is in the plot?
-
Well, Zaine (my character) feels really lonely not having his herd around, and then that's when he sees the second stone fly across the sky. Afterwards, he starts having wierd dreams about the stone and his herd, and then he decides that he must find it in order to discover the truth about what happened to his herd.
Of course, there is a group of egg stealers, led by the norotious Ozzy and Strut, who seek the stone in order to obtain it's rumored magical powers to become tyrants and rule the great valley. So it's pretty much a race to find the stone first.
I will play Zaine, Ozzy, Strut, and if nobody else chooses him, Littlefoot.
-
Sounds interesting. Sounds like 4 of the fc's are maybe taken.
-
Well, if you wantn to be littlefoot you can. I'll put you down as him if you want.
-
I can, unless you'd rather do Littlefoot.
-
It's fine with me. You can be Littlefoot.
-
I can, unless you want to. If you really want to be Littlefoot then I'd not mind. :)
I may do Ducky unless someone else wants to. I will be doing Mim, of course. hmm, maybe I can work on another oc eventually, of a totally different species to sometimes rp. Maybe a flier, three horn.
-
How about for now I put you down as Littlefoot and Ducky. If someone else wants to do Ducky, then I'll put them down, but you can be Littlefoot.
-
Ok. If you want someone to rp Cera you can invite Threehorn, it likes rping as her or her dad.
-
I'm in. I think I'll be my OCs, Vylor and Argaya.
I need to know one thing: magic or no magic.
-
This one will have magic, but the Rainbowfaces are not involved.
Also, to make it a little more epic, I'm thinking of having Ozzy and Strut reach the stone first and then Zaine and the others either get it back or destroy it.
-
If characters can have magic I'll have to either sit this one out or get help making a dino wizard since that way I'll have at least 1 character who is not useless with pc's who can do magic.
-
Well, let me rephrase it. It won'tbe magic as in Harry Potter or Golden Sun stuff like that, but if Ozzy and Strut get the stone, then they will rule the Great Valley. Or if Zaine gets it, he can learn about his true past and where his herd is.
In a way, you could kind of say that it's more of a magic lamp, except without the genie.
-
Does your magic definition include magic in Eragon? That is the type of magic my characters are based on.
-
Guess I have to make a dino wizard oc as well to fit in. Maybe a flyer of some sort. And I think the current trend is anime style magic that one screams the attack name as one casts the spell.
That would be, 2 fc's 2 oc's. I can easily handle that many characters, no problem.
Unless you mean the only magic in the rp thread will be the stone itself and not any other type including pc's or items they may have.
-
I'm sorry, I seem to be confusing people.
The characters are not using any magic at all. The only magic thing will be the actual stone. There are no magic powers like in Eragon or Harry Potter.
When I mean that the stone will be magic, here's an example of what I mean:
I find the stone, and I ask for a million dollars. I then instantly get a million dollars.
So no, you do not have to make a wizard character.
-
Ah ok, thanks for the clarification. Then I'll stick with my 3 characters for now. Mim, Littlefoot, and unless someone else wants her Ducky.
What if someone wishes like Darkwing Duck did in one of his origin stories I saw. I don't recall the exact line but it was something like: "I wish to have a cool entrance." meaning his entrance into a scene as Darkwing Duck.
-
I guess I'll have to modify my characters. It is no big deal, though.
-

I'm not totally sure what you mean.
-
Sorry, was just sort of joking around. There would be someone who would want a pointless wish like that likely.
-
oh ok :lol
but yeah, i hope that clarifies what i'm thinking about.
-
It does, thanks for the clarification.
-
I'm thinking about starting the new rp. Should I wait a little bit longer for people to join, or should I just go ahead?
-
I'm ok with the rp starting. I would guess most are back from their holiday vacations by now. I'll let any others interested in this rp speak about their preferences though.
-
ok then, im going to make the first post now.
-
Has Zaine ever met chomper?
-
in this one, he has. in blackclaws dark ambition, he hasn't. if someone plays chomper, then zaine will have met him by now.
-
Yeah...I'm playing Chomper...okay thanks!
-
thank you for chosing him :D
-
GVG was playing Chomper in part 1, and grandpa longneck, for a scene at least..
-
ok, thanks for letting me know
-
Do you want to know who that mysterious voice belonged too?
-
I'm just going to take a wild guess and say it was Littlefoot's mother.
If I am wrong, then yes, I would like to know who it belongs to
-
Korr I would guess, up to one of his other tricks, or one of the folks who can wield magic but is evil doing a spell.
-
That would be an interesting twist, if Korr kidnapped Zaine and used him as bate to get to Longtail.
-
Would not surprise me, he's in every rp thread I'm in on this site.
-
i guess hence your name :lol:
-
Well, now that the RP has started, discussions will become more involved soon. I hope.
-
hopefully it stays alive.
It is not too late for people to join! Even though the rp is started, you can still join!
-
Well, I'm certainly in now =) sorry for not coming in any sooner
just doing some heavy web work on ou new Myspace
I should have pleny of free time now for this RP, Blackclaw Time Warp, and a brand new idea I'm cooking up =)
-
I wonder if the name Korr came before or after I was here. It was not my intention to copy the char name. Kor is just the current scalie/furry name I use at a place or 2 I visit. I've been using it for well over a year, that is way before I came here, or even knew about this place.
-
that's interesting. the name i always used for my rp characters is Vaek, but i didn't really think that served as a longneck name, so i switched over to zaine.
-
Still think with Korr being in all the rp's I"m in, I"ll have to think of a new username and see if Petrie will change mine to that. Just have to think of a new username I like, or go back to my original furry username I used 10 years or so ago and don't like much anymore.

Yeah...that is a bit strange isn't it? I originally came up with Korr before I joined this site, and I was a bit surprised when you did join the fourms Kor, I actually thought about changing my characters name, but no one raised any questions... :huh: However if you would like to keep your name, I'll be more than happy to change the Red Horn leaders name.
-
I may ask petrie to change it, once I can come up with a good one I like.
-
i'm kind of confused right now. who is the flier that's coming in really fast? is it pterano? because i didn't plan on using him in this one.
-
Well Ptyra never said who the flyer was...just that he/she was coming...I am kinda looking forward to what this turns out to be.
-

Ptyra! Petrie hasn't seen her in a long time and saw her from a distance...
-
I noticed that relation, but I didn't really care.
-
A lot of posts to replay to, have to decide if I'll continue and how to post to those and the ones after once I return.
-
ok. take your time, and i hope you do intend on staying
-
I think I completely lost touch with this RP, so I'll probably make a re entry later on. I think I might had brought Denton in at an awkward time, perhaps
ah well.. keep it up guys, and stay out of trouble =)
-
im sorry you got lost. i think it's just starting to pick up the pace though. if you ever decide on coming back, i'll fill you in.
-
I guess I"ll have to leave the rp, it's WAY WAY WAY past where I can post anything, I've no idea what the [censored] is going on and why Littlefoot would not have responded by now. I can't keep up with the machine gun speed posts.
If I knew the posts would not shoot up at their usual speed I may try coming in again from scratch, can't think of why Littlefoot would not have responded to the question, not anyone else.
-
From scratch may be best overall.
-
Glad you are at least still in the RP.
-
Thanks.
I thought that since they are at Ducky & Diver's home and nest area she should be in a cameo. Though I don't plan on bringing her into this rp. Better handling then the LBT folks do with their characters who vanish to never be seen if their not a part of the plot.
-
i'm glad you're still here also. we need a littlefoot and ducky, and so far you do the best job rping as them.
-
Okay, so since the grownups are coming to Pytra, they're probobly going to tell Ptyra about her dad. Who wants to be which grownup? Also we're going to have to pull Pterano into this...I've got quite a lot of good ideas due to my "important plot points" so could I be Pterano too?
-
You should. Also, I have purposefully slowed down my posts. I'm trying to keep the posts slower so that Kor stays.
-
I've also slowed down my post as well...and I'll play Grandpa Longneck as well!
-
well, i didn't intend on having pterano involved in this. could you explain to me what you meant by your important plot points?
-
Has it even been 5 cold times. Wouldn't that put the kids in their early teens or so? Perhaps the best 2 fc adults would be one of Littlefoot's grandparents and Petrie's mother, they would likely be the best understanding and such. Mim is staying where she is since she's sure she is not needed and only knows of things second hand. Ducky and Littlefoot are playing.
1 idea, like I mentioned much earlier is if Pterano has to be encountered he can be even before the 5 cold times are over if the gang ever leaves the great valley then he can pop up at any time. He may be banished from the great valley for 5 cold times but they never said, you can't approach any great valley resident for the same 5 cold times even if you see them outside the great valley.
-
It seems that in the sequels, 5+ cold times have already past.
-
Perhaps, but it's up to the gm of the thread if it has or not. They could always meet him once they get outside the great valley since I assume they will at some point. In most adventures and stories they do, though not in every one. It also sounds like the important plot points could be a separate rp thread of it's own rather then putting several into one rp thread, though that is up to the gm.
-
Well, the GM makes many decisions, but unless we agreed at the start of the RP to make the GM omnipotent, shouldn't there be a vote on what the scene is?
-
sorry, i forgot to mention all of this.
we will end up leaving the great valley, because the stone lands in the mysterious beyond. since pterano was banished there, we could meet up with him.
we're going to have it set that one of the cold times have passed instead of all five.
-
Hello:
For me that sounds very good, in the Mysterious Beyond may happen more action scenes and pursuits that could be very fun to read :D .
Keep it up!
-
Gotcha. I'll go and modify that post.
-
Also, Ptyra was talking about how:
1. Pterano told her that her mother was attacked by a 'swimming sharptooth' and was drowned by it. That's half a lie. She was attacked, but she wasn't drowned
2. Pterano told her that she was the only child...that was wrong. Egg stealers tried to take Ptyra and her siblings as eggs, but when Pterano came to stop them, (following my fanfic) Ozzy drops one egg, breaking it, Strut lost his grip on on and it fell in the water, then Ozzy made off with the third, leaving Ptyra's egg
Some lies have to be settled, which is why Pterano has to come into this, because these were some MAJOR lies that he told her-things that she HAD to know. Plus, Ptyra's BEGGING to know about her dad and DESPERATE to see him. She hasn't seen him since the Great Earthshake and has no idea about his fate.
-
Hello:
Then I admit it is a very long time, because we are talking about the catacylsmic earthshake from the first movie and even after Pterano's banishment in LBT7. I think I could understand why Ptyra wants to find his father so badly and all comments about the happenings about the first stone of cold fire can make the character even more impatient.... and hopefully that will not bring many more problems.
-
I also do not understand why so many folks seem to want to introduce their own plots into the rp thread of another when certain of the plot stuff could be an rp thread of their own. Not aiming that at Ptera, but it's a trend I've noticed lately. Feels like while watching say LBT 4 LBT 7's plot was shoved in also. It seems a trend recently for some reason.
I can understand her wanting to see her father. Likely if the group leaves the great valley, if the gm says it's ok, he could appear at some point, wether since he sees her, or if the group is attacked by some sharpteeth, or something else happens and he sees leaf eaters in trouble he comes to help them or something, then they can meet and have a private talk. Maybe Ptyra can pm the gm whatever details and they can discuss it, or discuss it here, up to the two of them. Though if the gm says no to Pterano appearing it may mean Ptyra will have to use another rp thread that that gm says is ok, or start one of it's own.
-
i understand what you mean^^.
i'd prefer not to have pterano, because that was the point of me bringing in ozzy and strut.
-
Then you can have no Pterano, the gm can do stuff like that. Again not an attack on anyone person but I have noticed folks bringing in a plot focused on their character into another rp thread, even without them pming the gm first. In many cases they should and could do their own rp thread instead of trying to force another gm to accept their rp thread within their own. It's starting to get annoying. Again not aiming this at Ptyra, but just mentioning a trend I've noticed lately.
Maybe Ptera does want to see her father, but she may have to wait till the 5 cold times are over and Pterano returns on his own. I don't mean this to come across as harsh, I don't mean it that way. She likely would miss her father and would want any news she could get about him and may wonder why he did this or that.
-
well kor, thank you for putting it in nice words, and i am happy that you at least support my decision.
again, like he said, i don't want this to be mean, but i would prefer to stick with the plot that i came up with.
if you have any ideas or whatnot, please pm them to me, and i will happily look over it. just don't add plots of your own without asking me.
-
Well, here is a compromise between you and Ptyra: you can have Pterano appear, but more as a cameo.
-
I'll leave that between LBTFan13 & Ptyra, but why does he have to appear at all. Littlefoot does miss his father and likely SHorty, and Ali, but there is no reason why they have to appear in this rp. Pterano will appear in Ptyra's fanfiction story and that could well be good enough. I see no reason why others feel they have to add to the gm's rp thread, they should just run rp threads of their own. I personally find it annoying that folks add to the gm's rp thread. Like I said it's not an attack on Ptyra, but just my saying how I feel about a recent trend I"ve noticed.
If you folks feel Pterano should appear they why don't you do one, working with Ptyra, and do your own rp thread where the gang does leave the great valley to hunt and find Pterano so Ptyra can speak to him? That sounds like it's own rp thread to me. Same with those red horn guys and Longtail, should have been its own rp thread in my personal openion.
-
i agree with kor. ptyra, i'm sorry but i didn't intend on having pterano a part of this.
-
It's okay, but I was thinking of something. Perhaps he learned his lesson about the stone and particapated in helping stop Ozzy and Strut from getting to the stone. Just an idea ^_^ . Would be interesting to have a veteran of the stone-misunderstanding to help them
-
From Mim looking her injuries over do they look like they need any work on them, or are they best left as is?
-
I would say Ptyra wounds wouldn't be life threating...her biggest issue may just be her being tired from flying from those fast biters.
-
I was just wondering if Mim maybe would think they needed seeing to, of they were like cuts and such that had closed up or had scabs so their best left alone. & roughly what size is Ptyra compared to Petrie?
-
They're not very bad, but Ptyra probobly would need a bit of attention after being alone between different herds, and in what happened her, she was alone. Not to mention, her wings are REALLY torn up...like you can see through them.
-
Hello:
That is bad, I hope you'll character will recover. And I think that Pterano's presence may not be the best, to avoid getting all ideas in just one basket, and that can buy you time to make him appear in your own story in a better way too (or even in another RPG). As I don't think I may participate until at least I try to get a bit more of experience even though you'll go to the mysterious beyond (where my OC lives).
Keep it up with the story, and keep it up with all RPGs! :)
-
So, LBTFan13, when are you going to have the stone appear? And who will see it?
-
I guess I can have it appear really soon. I was going to have it fly at nightime like the first one. I guess everybody will be able to see it.
-
Doesn't matter to me...night or day...we're going to find it anyway right...so do what ya gotta do...but if you want my honest opinion I say it should be another night scene so the kids can sneak off in the night....like they tend to do anyway!
-
That is one benefit to having it at night instead of at daytime. LEss adults are libel to see it and try to stop the kids, if any do at all.
-
*shrug* Oh well :rolleyes:
I guess I could handle a cameo...
And wern't some grownups at the place where the stone was seen (EG Grandpa Longneck)
-
Maybe you could come along riding on someone? If you mean the movie all I recall is Petrie's mother and some giant flyer who carried most of the folks away. Though I may be wrong.
-
What I'm did was have the stone fly over during the daytime, but the adults will be too busy discussing about what to do that we sneak off without them noticing again.
-
Sounds like what they would do in the movies.
-
I guess Ptyra could ride on someone's back...she's on someone at the moment, but that would work out.
-
She could, they you'd be able to rp. You can pick who's back you are on or just leave it unsaid. One idea is you insist on coming, or maybe don't give a reason.
