Rainbow Community Open-Idea Rarewitch Dungeons RPG

Feeling a bit inspired by Jowee's idea for an RWP RPG and having a fair amount of experience in RPG Making but lack of time to do a proper one I felt inspired to ask for suggestions and shared ideas in community and forum inspired RPG Dungeon Crawler.

This is in NO WAY Related his project, only inspired by the concept and by the fact I need something to keep me active here and I thought slaving away at an RPG with the RWP and it's cast of users and such as playable heroes would be a fun way to do so and a fun way to finally make an RPG Maker game I could finish. Surely with the curiosity of you all driving me I won't lay it on the backburners again, right?

Basically, It is going to be an RPG Dungeon Crawler inspired by games like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Nethack and Dungeons of Dreadmor as well as many others as I go along with it.

I want to include as many characters as possible to make the game as open and re-playable as possible. Each user having a distinct playing and style to them with skills and abilities different from one another as well as special gear and so on. I'm going to include a character application template where you can apply your character.

There will be no MAIN character. Only a small selection of starting characters that will be playable to choose from to keep it from being too lineear and forcing a character to have TOO much story involvement and focusing too much on one person along.

I may even go as far as to do custom spriting and art for the characters and such as I go along with it but will probably use default or ones from packs I have that suit the character for now. Music I will more than likely make from scratch or from free-to-use, non-commercial music so not to cause any copyright problems since this is going to be a free game.

As far as dungeons in the game, there will be plenty with phat loot and different, bizarre and difficult enemies, challenges and puzzles. Each will be themed after the forums sub-categories and so on. I will take suggestions and offers as what kind to make them. Such as, "Make this part of the forum a creepy, darker one since it is usually dealing with x" or so.

Here is the story I slapped together thus far which I will fix as I go along and touch up to make it a bit more interesting:

"Rarewitch. An underground networked world that belonged to many. Friends, Foes, Rivals and Fools whom felt a bond of brotherhood and commorodity amongst one another.

A community of old timers, old schoolers and heroes of times past, gathered to one place. Rarewitch.

But that all changed rather quickly one day when... "That Part of The Internet" attacked their secret, underground network of solitude. Transforming it's world forever and seperating it's member and grand council of M.O.D.s

"Monarchy Of Defense". The M.O.D.s were the holders and founding members of Rarewitch of an order that kept peace within the network of Rarewitch and kept balance within it's walls for many a year until their great council was split and sealed away within the mysterious void.

The void was a black, murky realm within Rarewitch that held back a great force of evil that the MODS worked to contain and keep back for eons. When "That Part of The Internet" attacked, the void's seal that kept it's evil contained was broken unleashing the tragedies and foulness that made the void their habitat.

As this happened, a small handful of it's community awoke, lost and confused in this twised mockery of what they once called home. Having nowhere else to go and nothing better to do. These brave, bold, foolish few took arms and vowed to purge the darkness from their world.

This is their story, their plight, and your quest."

Game Classes, Items, Gear and Skills: THIS IS ENTIRELY UP FOR DEBATE AND CAN RANGE FROM ANYTHING AS RIDICULOUS AS BACON SANDWICHES TO WARHAMMERS AND LASER-BLASTERS. If you have a favorite idea of a weapon or item you want me to throw in I will and I will keep a list and come up with uses for them if not your suggested use.
  1. Character Template
  2. Name: What's your name?
  3. Gender: Dinger or Danger?
  4. General Appearance: Whatchu look like?
  5. Class: Hero of Time, Ninja, Space Marine, Slacker, ANYTHING
  6. Weapons of Choice: Whatcha gonne bonk em with?
  7. Skills and Talents: Magic, Special Skills, I MAKE A MEAN SOUFFLE.
  8. Personality: Cold/Dark, Chill and Relax, Bro-Dude, Trickster
  9. Favorite Thing(s): Items or things or activities that hold significance to your character.
  10. Strengths: Things that make you who you are.
  11. Weaknesses: Things you may fall to whether magical damage or the sight of blood ect.
  12. Mini Bio: Tell em a little about yourself.

Fill this out to the best of your ability and or add more and I will see what I can do. I currently need at least 2 or 3 of these done before I can get much rolling besides maps, monsters and story ideas. If you know any characters that I could possibly need info on aka "I want to include character version of mods as higher-up deity-class heroes and some of them are inactive or MIA" feel free to help throw some ideas my way in post here or in the chat.

Once I get a list of dungeons and areas of Rarewitch that will be accessable in the game up I will take suggestions on how they should look or what they should have.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current Cast:
Mason - Playable Character - Wizard/Pyro - A sarcastic, cool-minded guy who winds up lost in a strange world.
Frankie - Playable Character - Swordsman/Light-Magic User - A bold, blunt, happy go lucky guy always ready to fight.
Derek - Playable Character - Pirate/Ninja - A blunt, chill guy whom after defeating a crew of pirates for their ship has taken on the guise and lifestyle of one. Remember. He's the captain. Even if he's not the captain. He's the captain.
Blake - Playable Character - Thief/Negotiator - A fast-talking, slick, sly and clever treasure hunter who doesn't take too kindly to being called a thief.
Terp - Shopkeeper NPC - Get your s*** and get out. - Terp will make little shacks across the world where he peddles his goods onto you for a reasonable price. Sometimes he'll even cut you a deal on some rare goods.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Areas/Dungeons:
The Lobby - Basic Hub World Area where you will be able to meet and greet fellow rwp users you have saved from the clutches of the void and talk with them. Each user will have their own "Profile Dimension" that will be themed and styled to each user and tell you a little about them.

Almost Anything Goes - A constantly shifting and changing world of randomized dungeons and hilarity

Creative Cavern - A cavernous dungeon with painfully abstract and intricate tunnels and ominous narrative voices.

Member's Arena: A soon to be unlockable area where you will be able to 1vs1 against fellow party members for fun and prizes.

Homebrew and Tools: An area of glitched, tech-savvy mechanized and futuristic foes that have hacked and taken control of the area utilizing the helpful hacking tips and useful software data they discovered. Will be future area to get character upgrades and learn to craft/synthesize weapons/items once rid of enemies.

Rarewitch Support: Similar area to the lobby where you will be able to get helpful advice, be trained and and instructed on how to become a more helpful and useful rwp member by MODs and receive healing/buy healing items. Also vending machines.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features:
Class Changing and Subclasses: Though a character's MAIN CLASS is permanent there will be a slew of fun variety of SUBCLASSES that will help change the flow of how a character plays, altering and boosting certain stats and giving them new moves to use in battle as well.

Enemies That Level With You: Hero fodder no more. As you level enemies do, making them remain a challenge no matter how puny and pathetic a started monster they are, giving the game a fair sense of challenge and eliminating cheating/grinding/empty-useless-encounters of noob monsters that offer nothing.

Item Creation/Crafting: You will be able to find and combine various items and weapons together to create new weapons and gear as well as items if not upgrade and make them stronger.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More to come with progress made. Keep an eye out for updates. Also feel free to throw in suggestions in any way you like. All ideas are acknowledged and may be used as well as credited for helping in the development.
