Whoops, forgot about my RPG in the midst of a volleyball tourney. Anyways, abilities and hate cards are almost done. I also appear to have forgotten about co-hosts... So if anyone wants to cohost a Bakugan RPG, you would be welcome.

So.. a Bakugan RPG couldn't be accused of drawing players either, correct?

I have added the locations and slightly revised the factions.

It is pretty awesome... much awesomer than my Bakugan RPG. But could you do the magical staff idea, or can strings be only attached to living/recently dead people?

Quick question... can people see my posts? In the past, my posts have actually been invisible, so are they right now?

Are you able to form a string to anything, or only something sentient?

Basilisk. It is a sword. Family relic for a dozen generations of witch hunters killing dozens of people along with undead and miscellaneous monsters, with every generation adding more to it, and a particularly bloody start involving a couple dozen people being sacrificed for "the greater good" to create it? That should do it. Assuming, of course, you can increase the power present in a weapon over time. How many people would actually go to the trouble, though? You made that fairly clear yourself that the people who do this don't generally use animals. -Toa Levacius Zehvor That actually could work really well for any weapon, assuming of course that you could layer enchantments. Couldn't you in theory create a staff that had separate sections that you could form a small string to each section, allowing to draw upon the reserves as needed?

Ok. I have added the lore in the form of a super condensed, kinda dry block of text in the original post. I am working on the battle system currently. And with ability cards, I can see where you are coming from, but I am hesitant to get rid of them. I could start the RPG with them, and if response to them isn't good I could remove them. But G-power is staying. It is an integral part of Bakugan in my opinion without it, there won't be clear winners to battles. Edit: Found an easy way to explain battles. It is up under "Battles" in the original post.

Anything that I said I will explain, I have not found a good way to describe it yet without it being really confusing. I am working on it, but my brain is kind of fried from finals. And yes, that is a horrible excuse. Both the lore, battle mechanics and gate/ability cards will be up, I just need time. Thank you for reminding me, I will get on it soon. Also, Basilsisk's idea sounds good.

To what? Bakugan? A brain? The Universe?

I see the problem with god modding. What I am going to do is add a list of usable ability and gate cards and what they what they do. So, just to clarify, I should get rid of G-power, and no ability cards? Thanks for responding so quickly! EDIT: @ Canis: I see no other way for it. If I give the Bakugan no G's, then I run into the problem of even more god modding, what with people saying that they can shoot fifty thousand energy balls and they all track their target. Plus, the calculations would be relatively simple. (I.E., plus 50 or 100 G's.) Also, I removed the video. Didn't mean to embed it.

Bakugan RPG: The Reign of Naga. By all rights, none of us should be here. The world should have exploded, or been ripped to shreds. But it didn’t. And that is almost worse than if it did. Ever since the Bakugan fell from the sky, nothing has been the same for me. At first, everyone thought it was a game, but strange occurrences started happing. Bakugan started to talk, battlefields started collapsing, and the barrier between Earth and Vestroia, the universe that the Bakugan came from, started to collapse. Most of us didn’t notice this much until dimensional gate appeared in the ocean, bringing with it the supreme evil of Vestroia, Naga. He was a gigantic dragon had absorbed the Silent Core, which was made of negative energy that he hoped to use to take over the world with. Only one thing stood in his way. The Bakugan Battle Brawlers. They were a team composed of six brawlers, the best battlers in the world. Each was a master of their attribute. They crumbled like a wet paper bag before Naga’s assault. Naga then absorbed the Infinity Core after defeating his sister Wavern, giving him control over the entire universe. Four of the Brawlers -Marucho, Julie, Alice and Runo- were exposed to the silent core with their Bakugan and turned to Naga’s side. With them, Alice reverted back to Masquerade, the greatest Bakugan Brawler in the world. But that was three years ago. Naga has subjugated the world’s governments and brought Earth under martial law. However, there is still hope. Shun and Dan, the two greatest Brawlers, managed to escape, along with a few hundred children that still had their Bakugan. They… no, we managed to get to an abandoned military base somewhere off the coast of Cape Horn on a large island. We set up there, and with the help of our Bakugan, created a fortress that has never, and will never, be breached. From that fortress, the resistance harasses Naga, mainly by taking over bases or getting rid of supply trains to his massive armies. We are the Resistance. We will take back the world. And we are only children. ­________________________________________________________________________ History/Background info. Bakugan are creatures from an alternate dimension called Vestroia, in which they lived in harmony. That is, until a scientist from Earth created a dimensional transporter, capable of sending matter across the world or into a different universe. When he activated it, he was sucked into the center of Vestroia, and contaminated with energy from the Silent Core. At this point, the barrier between Earth and Vestroia started to dissolve, and many Bakugan were pulled out of Vestroia and into the human’s world. They were contained in gate cards that fell from the sky. Eventually, the Bakugan emerged from them in the form of small spheres about the size of a walnut. Kids all around the world started to create a game with these creatures, a game of battle that they called Bakugan. However, as the barrier continued to deteriorate, problems started to emerge. First and foremost was Masquerade, a Bakugan Brawler that was almost undefeatable. He was sending kid’s Bakugan to the Doom Dimension, which is kind of like an afterlife for Bakugan. He recruited others for it, and all were sending Bakugan to the Doom Dimension. A group of brawlers, composed of six kids, the best brawlers of each attribute, started to take down these brawlers one by one, and eventually, all acquired a powerful, talking Bakugan. Masquerade also had one named Hydranoid, and he eventually gained such a high power level that he evolved into Dual Hydranoid, and became ultra-powerful. Dan’s Bakugan, a Dragonoid, also evolved. Masquerade faced Dan, the leader of the Bakugan Battle Brawlers in battle, sending Dan’s Guardian, or talking, Bakugan to the Doom Dimension. However, Dan jumped into the portal after Drago, and was sent to the Doom Dimension with his Bakugan. Shortly afterwards, the Brawlers purposely sent themselves to the Doom Dimension to save Dan and Drago. While there, they were faced with a series of challenges in the form of a Brawl that when they all passed, their Guardian Bakugan evolved. They were then sent back to the normal dimension, where Dan calls a rematch with Masquerade, then after a fierce battle beats him. However, after the battle Masquerade reveals that he is actually Alice, the last member of the Brawlers. Later, a portal appears in the middle of the ocean. The brawlers go through it, and battle their way to the core to stop Naga, the evil Bakugan that absorbed the silent core. Finding that he is not there, they return to Earth and battle the forces of Naga that, since Earth has started to mingle with Vestroia, can be outside of ball form. There is a showdown between Drago and Naga. The events of this RPG are set after Naga beats Dan and the Brawlers, even though in the anime the Brawlers won. Battling There have been many different ways throughout the Bakugan T.V. show to battle, but here we are sticking with the first season. Basically, here is how a battle will work. First, list your Bakugan, their G-power, and your ability and gate cards. (three of each) for example… Darkus Mantris, 310 Gs. Darkus Saurus, 340 Gs. Darkus Serpenoid, 290 Gs. Gate cards-Reversal, Darkus Storm, and Peacemaker. Ability cards- Water Refrain, Poison Fang, and Void Shield. (I wll have a list of available gate/ability cards for you to pick off of that will also have their effects.) This RPG will mainly focus of Player vs. Player combat. Battle can be anything from 1 v 1 to 3 v3, and even a 3 v 1 hasn’t been unheard of. How a battle would work… A good, basic battle would be where one of the 2+ brawlers throws down one gate card. Both Bakugan are thrown onto it, and the battle commences. The owner of the gate card can then say, “Gate card open!” and your Bakugan will gain G-power based on what the card is. Once this happens, brawlers can use ability cards. Once players are done using abilities, the Bakugan/brawler with the highest G-power wins. The battle continues like this, each player taking turns throwing down a card, until one person’s Bakugan have all been defeated. At this point, the battle ends. (Note, I am mixing and matching battle systems from Seasons one and two. Let me know what you think). Bakugan Bakugan are normally large, monterous creatures. But on Earth, they take the form of a small ball about the size of a walnut. In this RPG, however, Vestroia and Earth merged, so Bakugan can choose to be in their ball form or in their normal form. There are six attributes of Bakugan, indicated by their color. They are Pyrus (fire), Aquos (water), Haos (light), Ventus (wind), Sub-terra (ground) and Darkus (shadow). Normally, each battler keeps only one attribute of Bakugan with them, but that is not always the case. In general, when choosing your Bakugan, don’t make their G-powers more than 350. All three should add up to around 950 G’s. List of Bakugan… Bee Striker · Centipoid · Cycloid · El Condor · Falconeer · Fear Ripper · Fourtress · Gargonoid ·Griffon· Harpus · Hynoid · Juggernoid · Laserman · Limulus · Manion · Mantris · Monarus · Rattleoid · Ravenoid · Reaper · Robotallion · Saurus · Serpenoid ·Siege Sirenoid · Stinglash · Tentaclear Terrorclaw ·Tuskor · Warius · Wormquake I will elaborate more on Gate and Ability Cards later. Factions: There are really two factions in this RPG. The Resistance, which is composed almost entirely of kids, and the Legion of Naga, which is adults mostly that have been trained to use Bakugan. Rules: 1. Follow all BZRPG rules 2. Follow any guidelines listed above 3. No meta-gaming. Meta-gaming is using information in you IC posts that you character could not possibly know. This, I realize, could be a real problem in this RPG, Seeing as you can see what Bakugan and cards the others have. Just don’t do it. 4. Use IC for in character posts and OOC for out of character posts. 5. Be respectful 6. Have fun! Character: Your character will be a kid, 12-16 years old if you are in the resistance, or an adult, from about 25-38, if you are in the Legion of Naga. Character sign-up sheet. Name: Age: Faction: Main Attribute: (Pyrus, Aquos, etc…) Appearance: (please, more than ten words at least) Personality: (self explanatory) Background: (optional) Bakugan: (Use the list that is up farther in this post. List their type, attribute, and G-powers.) Here is some extra info: If you play your character extremely well, I may see fit to reward you with a talking Bakugan. All staff will automatically have one. This is my first RPG. Please, if there is any confusion, comments, or criticism on ANYTHING, don’t hesitate to ask.

AWESOME wow.

Link to the Wiki here. Pretty basic, but still a good show (1st season) and game (again, first season). EDIT: You are allowed to link to wikis on this forum, right?

Just wanting to ask once more in case my post was overshadowed by that RPG, which is a very interesting idea, sounds good to me, BTW. Anyway, before I spend time and effort writing up a rough draft of my idea, I just wanted to see what people thought because I didn't get any feedback. So... Idea... a Bakugan RPG. Just let me know what you think.

Just asking, what would anyone think of a Bakugan RPG? Just throwing it out there for a random reason. I was thinking of doing a alternate universe, but with basic battle stuff from season 1. What you all think? I should have a basic plot out tomorrow. Been watching the series... they butchered it in season two, what with forgetting about Angelo/Diablo Preyas...

IC: Zaak As the mana's claw shot forward, instead of attempting to block the attack, Zaak flung himself to the side, out of reach of the claw, hoping that the manas crab couldnt change direction fast. To keep it at bay if it could turn quicker than expected, Zaak hurled a ball of plasma at the Rahi's now exposed back.

sorry for being inactive, life has been hectic. i should have an ic up tonight.

Okey doke, just wanted to be clear that I am also not a Toa of Fire.

@The Snark Knight... Ummm.... I'm a toa of PLASMA, meaning, same material as the sun. I melted a hole of boiling rock in the ground because the temperatures I unleashed are hotter than the SUN!

IC: Zaak Zaak, knowing that manas were practically impervious to normal elemental attacks, superheated the ground directly in front of the charging beast, hoping to trap or kill it in the 10 square foot patch of.molten rock.

IC: Zaak Zaak, hearing the noise as well, raised his shield slightly higher in defence. At the end of the hall, he saw what looked like a shadow flash across the corridor. With it came an irrational burst of fear. "Probably a rhakshi, I think one of fear. But it could be something new, i have no idea." Zaak whispered this to the other members of the group, and sincerely hoped he was right about it only being a rhakshi. OOC: If you wanted the creature to be something else, tell me and i'll modify my post. Also, it is not one of the Wild Hunt.

IC: Zaak Zaak heard Amarthis speaking about taking a few people into the dungeons. He walked over, saying, "I will volunteer to go to the dungeons." OOC: Man, autocorrect hates Bionicle names.

cool, love the mask powers
