The RPG Character Name Game
 

I know there hasn't been much news in terms of RPG's lately unless I'm completely out of the loop. I was thinking of a fun idea that a lot of rpg gamers could have a little fun with.

It's a game a little like guess that anime screenshot. The only difference is that the first person gives a description about a playable rpg character from a game. If you want to use humor to describe that character it is highly encouraged. That person has to guess who the character is and from what game. The person who gets it right will continue by giving their description of a playable character and the GFF members will guess who it is, and it will continue like that.

For Example:

I'm a spiky haired warrior that does not have one bit of dialogue throughout the entire game unless you get one of the many endings in the game. I try my best to help out those in need but it always seems to get me in trouble especially when it comes to helping a certain princess. Time travel is such a bitch.

Who am I and what game am I from?

Obviously it would be Crono from Chrono Trigger.

So I hope its a good idea and it gets plenty of forum participation. If people want to add any ideas or any ways to make this idea better I would greatly appreciate it. Just remember the person you chose to write a description on has to be a playable rpg character.

Here we go:

Boy do I love my guns. Its really funny that I love using my guns so much especially since I'm a very religious person, but I'm actually a hunter for my church. I have issues with my dad who abandoned my family. I actually run an orphanage in which I dedicate my life to looking after children but in reality I actually put these little bastards through slave labor when I unleashed my secret weapon for the first time in the game.

Who am I and from what game?

Guess right and you get to write the next description of a playable rpg character of your choice. If nobody can't get the answer after a day or two, you have to revel who it is, and then someone else will volunteer to write the description of the next character.

Billy from Xenogears.

Sorry it only lasted seven minutes

Oh that's alright skills, you love that game as much as I do anyway. Your up next you Xeno-whore.

Smarmy and sarcastic, this fellow trades jabs with a talking bird on his shoulder. His quest involves typical JRPG shit like songstresses, demons split into a bunch of parts via a church that spreads some bullshit lies regarding an ancient war, and that whole relunctant hero crap. He also has a stupid haircut, but his best bit is the battle system his game has. It involves move cancelling and initiative points.

Ryudo from Grandia II

Quite. You're up.

My name is both a guy's and a girl's, and when you look at me, you might not be sure right away which, perhaps the antler hair gives it away. I am known for chasing shirtless blonds with metallic hands and my leather shorts feature revolutionary cooling vents around the buttocks.

I also happen to star in the greatest PS1 game ever made

Ashley from Vagrant Story (loooool antler hair).

Diss beat me to it. :)

I don't want to leave you guys with nothing to guess (I'm going to bed) so I'll just assume I'm right and move on (since I'm right).


I've got to get something off my chest, man, I tell you. I work, and I fight, and I bleed for the good of the land. Sometimes I even die, ending up all face-down over there. You know. On the right. And you know what? I'm happy to do it. Even when it turns out that nobody even realizes that I helped save the god damn world. I'm cool with that. It's not about glory.

You know what gets me, though? Crono. That little son of a bitch is one of the most well-known characters in RPG history. For what? I have just as much dialogue. My red hair is just as spiky. I can't use magic like he can, but back in my day our classes were more cut-and-dry, and that's the way we liked it!

Honestly, I think I've always just been a little sensitive about this whole "Super" Nintendo thing. I always thought it was pretty super to begin with. :(

Err... Might it be the fighter class from FF I??

It might!

And, indeed, is! I see now I may have made that too easy.



I also see the latest 5 posts box kind of ruins the whole recursive sub tags thing.



:(

:p

Here goes:

And so I led them through the forest. With my trusty short bow in hand, I helped my winged companion and her "boyfriend" stop the General and his Gremlins from using the Golem's power to destroy my home, as he had done the humans'. I still can't believe it sacrificed itself just so we could cross the river and continue our quest !

I'll venture a guess with Bo from Breath of Fire. I remember nothing about a General, gremlins, or a Golem, but the first part all fits!

That's it.

I think the golem was actually called a robot in game though I'm not 100% on that. The General and Gremlins were the foes who took control of it when the party was off in some cave.

That was a fun game.

Seriously, is that it? I was hoping to get in on the action.

What happens if Tritoch doesnt post one?

Technically the game is not over. Tritoch was the last member to get the game right. I kind of thought he would put up his character description, but its been over two days now. So I guess, I'll be the next one to describe a character. Tritoch if you see this in the next few minutes, just let me know, and I'll omit the entry, so that you can describe your rpg character.

I'll just make this clear, as long as anybody doesn't mind. If the person that guesses the character and game correctly does not make a post in the next two days, anybody can continue on with their next description of a rpg character.

Edit: I took my choice for my character away

(Ah crap, you'd think with all the procrastinating I did this weekend I would've remembered to come back to this thread. I sort of completely lost track of time for the past three days, and Nutty just pointed this out to me. In the future we should probably have a rule of something like one day leeway before anyone can post the next clue.)

I am the most powerful human to ever live, and even the king of the gods fell before my might. Never again shall others look down on me. So what if I have a few small personality quirks? I'm not the first guy to obsess over a woman. Plenty of people keep a basement full of naked clones of their beloved, right?

EDIT: To keep things in order, Angel's talking about Anise from Tales of the Abyss. Mwahaha.

Thanks for posting quick Tritoch, we'll keep that rule into effect. Give it one day leeway. Sorry about that, I knew you were busy with a lot of assignments and all that good stuff. I have no idea who your character is.

You're Lezard from Valkyrie Profile.

Yep, the basement o' Lenneths makes it pretty obvious.

Mistranslated lines? Changed names? Intentionally jazzing up (or dulling down) your personalities? Insinuating you're dead, leading to ten years of emo fanfiction about your supposed death just to be retconned accidentally through a movie seqel?

You characters don't know how good you got it. I changed races when I was ported over to America. New profile picture and all. They changed my hat, too, not that that matters. Did they change the fencer's race? No. Did they change the rich guy's race? No, they changed mine, the guy who dances.

Seriously fucked up over here.

:c-walks out:

Bump.
