Recruitment/Plotting Post
SO. I'm kind of stupid in love with the city Midgar from Final Fantasy 7. I always thought that the very beginning of the game was the best part, and that Shinra was much more of any interesting villain that Sephiroth & Jenova.
This is actually a crossover I've been bouncing around in my head for a long time, but I've never really been able to give it much thought until now thanks to school. After seeing how![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
skaiabound fared, I've learned it's better to begin this kind of thing in the summer, amongst a couple other things.
So essentially what I'm thinking of is HS chars put in this world, sans Seph/Jenova, with Shinra as the primary villain, and most if not all of it taking place in Midgar. If you are unfamiliar with FF7 that is okay! I will type up an explanation post of both the city and the company, and maybe link some Lets Play because you can seriously learn all you need to know in the first 20-30 minutes of the game. Sadly not much of it takes place in Midgar.
This is mostly just a tentative recruitment post where others can toss their ideas in and ask questions. So far characters taken are:
John: Jami
Rose:
Dave: Snow
Jade: Anna
Aradia: Ari
Tavros: Sky
Sollux: Jami
Karkat: Anna
Nepeta: Emely
Kanaya: Emely
Terezi: Ari
Vriska: Lassie
Equius:
Gamzee: Snow
Eridan:
Feferi:
I don't think we have to fill every single slot but those are currently the slots. We have temps for Karkat and Terezi but they are still open. Plotwise, this is what is going on so far.
Shinra: Shinra is a powerful, global conglomerate whose main source of income is through the creation of materia. Materia are gems that allow people to use various sorts of magic and summons, and they are made via mako energy. Mako energy, in short is the essence of Earth which they siphon from within it. This of course is slowly, but surely killing the planet but there are other repercussions. One of the biggest, is mako poisoning. These factories often end up poisoning the surrounding areas, mako is not something that people are suppose to be exposed to and if in great quantities it can mutate or even kill people.
Midgar: I will provide a post with more detail on the exact schematics, but Midgar is the largest and most industrialized city in this world. You can find images here. There are several levels to the city, the very bottom being the slums which are an incredibly dangerous and poverty-stricken area where many people are tossed down and left to fend for there own. The top is where only an elite few are able to live in the laps of luxury. Shinra headquarters are found here, and nearby are a good portion of their factories.
Trolls: Trolls in this world are humans, they are just humans who have been exposed to some degrees of mako poisoning, and thus mutated. Whether they've been like that from birth, or slowly changed over continued exposure is up to you. The more poisoning they've had, the more likely they are to have natural psychic/magical abilities, but this also means they have a higher chance of suffering other side effects of your choosing.
Avalanche: Though it will probably go by a different name, in the original game, Avalanche was a group of insurgents/terrorists who worked to bring Shinra down. When I first thought of this, I figured that would essentially be the goal of the kids---take down Shinra before it kills the planet. But I am open for all ideas! This is a plotting post and we'll need more than just that to keep the game going.
So have at it! Remember nothing here has to be permanent, it's more to just toss ideas around and figure out possible CR, how you're chars have changed, and since this is AU don't be afraid to go crazy.
