Hello! This is the OOC thread for Remnants of the Elements, the sequel to Guardians of the Elements. If you're not familiar with it, it was the first (successful) roleplay on Blocktopia EscapeRestart- or so it seems, from what I've gathered. It's been ten months since it started, two months to a year, and ended just this morning, but the story still continues on in a timeskip, after a period of slumber.
[23/4/2015] But that's not happening just yet, though. The IC thread will be up in about a week, in which we'll discuss any last-minute things we still haven't agreed on. I haven't been doing well with the character roster, so I can't quite tell who actually left and who didn't, thus I'll be tagging everyone on that roster past and present, and rely on everyone else to tag those who I forgot to.
For the week, I'd like to bring up a few things we'd need to discuss, as there's a lot of things we still haven't actually agreed on. As such, I'll be putting up each object of discussion, with the current decision on it (mostly based off my own thoughts) after it. I'll (hopefully) be editing it regularly as it changes. Be warned, though, if no one can decide on anything at the end of the week, I'll be going with what I please!
-Time Era, Culture, Clothing
Current Question: Exactly what sort of time period will it take place? What'll the people be wearing?
Current Decision: Around a medieval era, but with lots of different cultures with some that aren't necessarily based on ones with real life, so you can expect creative licence on culture as well as clothing.
-Plot
Current Question: Why are the Guardians waking up?
Current Decision: Right now, people are leaning towards there being a war between those who can use powers and those who can't. I honestly don't want to go with the war- not yet, anyway. The reason behind it being a point of conflict is something I can agree on, though... And I'm okay with it happening eventually. Just not from the get-go, Avatar the Last Airbender-style.
-Mechanics
Current Question: Any change in mechanics from GotE?
Current Decision: Yep! First of all is quite clearly the addition of an OOC thread, though you can still put in OOC notes in the IC thread. Just make sure it's short- a few sentences, a comment on something, that sort of thing. I suggest an IC post to go along with it. There's a few others, one of the main changes being on characters, which I will explain in a long post.
That's all I can think of for now.
As there will be no roleplaying in Elements for the week, we will be using the reports mechanic that we never actually got around to using to pass the time- as well as set up things that could possibly end up important in the future, such as written lore. If you were one of the Guardians that were still alive then, you may join in- if you're not, but want to contribute to the story anyway, depending on the circumstances you could perhaps add something in after discussing it with everyone else. Here we'll see if anyone else wants to join in- you can still join even after it starts, but it might help to discuss the story a bit.
The reports start here.
[25/4/2015] I'm currently writing a list on who's confirmed to be joining RotE. I haven't been doing well with the roster for GotE, so this'll be a little difficult.
[9/6/2015]In case anyone reading this gets confused at the difference between the confirmed roles list and the list provided in the IC thread, the confirmed roles list only lists the roles I was sure was joining at the time.
In other news, Fiestaguy has provided a library for GotES (that's the name we're referring GotE and RotE to). Here it is! http://fiestasheep.openshells.org/gotelib/otelib.html
