Thread: Respawn theme in a roleplay.

So, for those who aren't aware for a popular anime called 'ReZero - Starting Life in Another World'. It is an anime about a character who is an otaku living in modern day Japan who goes to a store to collect some Ramen for a late night snack only to walk out of the store and find himself magically appeared into a Fantasy world. That part of the show isn't however the thing that I would think would be an interesting RP theme, it is instead the fact that the character has a unique ability called 'Return from dead.' Basically, he can't die, well, he can, just he re-spawns at a 'Save Point', and the concept is that he can then obviously attack his situation with a different thought process as he knows what happens. However having this sort of ability leads to scenarios where you see people die and then you die, then you respawn, then they're all around you and you are the only one who has memories of what happened and everyone around you is oblivious, and any relationships you'd formed from the save point to your previous death would have been lost, so theoretically if you have a very long gap between finding this new save point that the character isn't even aware of what happens. you could find someone you loved make progress with a relationship with them only to see them die then die yourself and they don't even know you again. So the concept is basically exploring the 'Respawn' that's in a lot of games nowadays and how traumatic this could actually be for a character, imagine respawning only to find out everything you'd done for the past week, any relationships you've bolster any money you've earned any work you've done towards your ultimate goal is gone. Needless to say, this drives the main character bonkers. Thoughts on this as a roleplay theme?

Needless to say, this drives the main character bonkers. Thoughts on this as a roleplay theme? Click to expand... I really like the idea as a story but for a role-play it'd be extremely difficult. One, for the bolded part above because a lot of writers want to actually build up a story, build up relationships and the like. If every time this one character dies, we have to throw all of that development out the window, it'd feel kind of like you put all that work in for nothing. It's also why some people don't like their characters to die in rps because of the work they put into it suddenly becoming meaningless. Two, this is assuming your character, or the one with the Respawn ability, is the main character. Hard enough when people write their character's thoughts into the narrative for the partner to ignore the reveal of this internal information, despite the character not knowing any of this about the other character. Sometimes, it's hard not to give in to the temptation to respond in a way that puts that internal information to uselike, an outwardly jerkish character thinks to himself, If she'd just apologize so the partner has their stubborn female eventually come around to the other's point of view, despite him still being outwardly jerkish. She has no reason to think apologizing would work but she tries it anyway, giving in to what the other wants because she's told by his thoughts that it will work to manipulate the situation in her favor. The same might happen with the forgotten timeline. They're not supposed to remember but knowing what is supposed to happen might influence their decisions to act differently. Plus, a lot of people don't like all the drama to only happen to one person and this seems like the type of situation where all the interesting and important stuff is happening to the respawn character. Other than that, if you can find a particularly skilled writer, one who is able to sacrifice a bit of ego for the sake of the story you want to write and one who doesn't give in to the urge to completely ruin the premise by having their own character remember stuff they have no knowledge of, then it could be a really cool story. I personally would not though, simply for the complexities of how the situations come about but I might read the book, lol.

I'm going to be a party pooper and point out that this concept of save points was already touched on by a film titled Edge of Tomorrow, and of course by Groundhog Day. Quin stole any further input I might have been able to add on the subject like the GD predator he is.

Thread: Respawn theme in a roleplay.

I actually had two rps with a similar idea, though not quite as extensive. I had one where my partners' character was psychically gaslighting my own, making my character become obsessed with his by attacking her mind directly. Part of this included him controlling her memories, specifically him locking away any memories of sexual encounters between them. So, our character would have sex, and after they finished, he would lock those memories away in her mind, so she would just remember coming on to him, and getting rejected, keeping her consistently frustrated and seeking his approval. In over 100 pages of rp, we had two instances that were wiped from her mind, and several other implied times that he used my character, and wiped her memories after. It was a lot of fun to play, and I personally enjoy playing around with perception and memories, and character knowledge, so it was an enjoyable challenge. The other involved a wizard capturing and manipulating his rival, before turning her out to gain favors from the various royalty and nobles of his city. He also reset her memories each day, so the horror of what he was doing to her was reignited each day. the main problem with this idea is how much work it is going to take to write it. The first rp was over 100 pages in word, and we only got to use the device twice. The second rp was 60 pages and barely covered three days.
Thread: Respawn theme in a roleplay.

Indeed, this is far from an easy concept to run in an RP, just an interesting one. Hence why this is a discussion thread not a request thread. Like Quinn said, it includes three things that are all concerns of most role players. 1 Character Death. 2 Relationship resets. 3 Overly complex. It would need to be played as a 1x1 'GM Style' Roleplay, where one person plays everything that isn't the main character and the other plays the main character. That way one person will be keeping track of how relationships change with a respawn. The idea of a checkpoint being after an argument between the protagonist and the main love interest is hilarious though. They spend 3 pages of RP patching the wounds of their relationship only to die and have their love interest pissed at them again. God this is masochistic.
Thread: Respawn theme in a roleplay.

I think it could work easierat least, in my mind to go an almost black humor route with it, with a Groundhog Day vein to it all. Like, yes, still focus on the respawned character slowly wearing away because it's frustrating and all, but also explore a sort of comedic side to it as well. Like, go through about a 3 day cycle where they meet a seemingly unavoidable death after every three days. Maybe mess with the concept of fate a little bit and have it less like a video game and more like, even if the action in that 3 day cycle is changed and derailed and they end up in a completely different spot at the end of those 3 days, they still die in some manner, maybe even different for each time they change something about the timeline. Like, go through a 3 day cycle of normal interaction a couple times and then do a skip where it is assumed that they've been through this 50 times already. So, if information is revealed to the non remembering party it really will be unremembered because you didn't play through every moment of the previous timeline resets. THAT seems much more fun and relaxed to play with, finding the respawned dude after the 50th cycle, walking like Bill Murray with Andie MacDowell down the street apathetically pointing out cars passing by and dogs barking on the exact second and glibly knowing everybody's names, just completely tormented by the endless repetition.

Alternatively, do a story where the leading pair is stuck in this respawn cycle together and it's the rest of the world they need to deal with. See Edge of Tomorrow for an example of such.

It might be more compelling to explore a madness aspect and isolation for a main character if the story was solo focused but if you're going for a romance or just simply a partnered role-play, I definitely like the pairing up idea. Hmm, maybe even like a competition game of some kind, like geocaching or some sort of race across the world. Maybe when one of then dies, they both respawn? Or some silly rules like that. Having them be partners solves almost all of the previous problems I originally outlined.
Thread: Respawn theme in a roleplay.

Has a fairly distinct Romeo and Juilet attachment to it also. The idea that they will always be together. If one character dies and the other one is still alive they will likely seek death. Unless we go the route of Battle Royale and say they're linked.
Thread: 'THEY SAY IT TASTES BEST FROM THE NATURAL CONTAINERS.......Danielle and Cinnamon

The editor called Brenda to his office. If the 25 yr old blonde reporter disliked anything, it was the sound of the editor calling her name...... Brenda, he called out....one of our sources sent us a lead on those missing girls, the first lead we got in weeks---hell, even the cops don't know about this one!....here's the contact number of the snitch.... He swatted her on her tight ass.....get moving..... It was far from the first time the editor swatted her.....maybe it was simply the male machismo that came with being a male editor on the biggest newspaper chain on the west coast, maybe it was just because he was a sexist asshole... Brenda wolfed down some luke warm coffee and a stale sandwhich, then called the number. Whoever the guy was, he didn't tell her or where he was calling from. He did say however that if she followed a certain dirt road off the main highway she would have one hell of a lead on her missing girls story. Brenda climbed into the car and followed the directions the unknown voice gave her, once taking the wrong road. If whoever it was didin't want to be found, this was a good way to stay hidden.... It was dusk before her headlights came to a derelict, deserted looking building. She turned off the car, grabbed a flashlight from the glove compartment and creeped over to the grayish building. Around the back she found a door and slowly opened it......it was pitch black inside, only a small room about 10 ft square with some kind of tunnel with a ladder....Brenda peered down the tunnel....there was a light down there with some sounds.... She climbed down the tunnel and came into a long room....what she saw made her let out a gasp.... All the missing girls and more, at least a dozen were all there! they were all naked, trapped in some kind of metal and leather frame, stuck in a crouching position. Their tits were encased in leather straps with machinery attached, globes attached to the end of their tits with hoses attached to some kind of machine in front of every frame.....the girls were all moaning, some struggling, some far too weak...Brenda stared as the girl's tits were being mechanically sucked.....clear rubber tubes were in their vaginas and asses...... What the fuck???, Brenda said aloud......some of the girls suddenly stared at her, fear in their eyes.....Brenda found out why when she suddenly felt something behind her......

Mercy Browne Age 18 --- Gender F -- Sexuality Pansexual Full Profile Link Long fiery red hair and emerald eyes, complete with pale, fair skin marred with many, many freckles. Short, small, and slender build. Mostly Harmless. Mercy is a scientist, through and through, and everything, pokemon and human alike, are her test subjects. Regardless of consent. Though many of her actions and endevours are clearly altruistic, her callous, unabashed nature makes them seem... less so. Born and raised in a family of breeders, Mercy immediately took to the path of knowledge, eschewing all else. Fascinated by the creatures her family raised with such precision, her studies - and often slightly scary experiments - remained purely focused. At least until puberty, when humans came into her focus for... reasons... and she added medical pursuits and culinary experiments to her studies as well. Ever and always, however, did her interests inevitably return to that particular breed that seemed to change in so many different ways with just a little radiation.

Vika Vasiliev Age 19 --- Gender F -- Sexuality Bisexual Full Profile Link Vika is of average height, with long blond hair, and skin that seems untouched by the sun. Her brown eyes are always looking forward, ready for the next thing to catch her eyes. She wears simple clothing for the most part, favoring skirts over anything else. The new trainer knows what she wants, and she will get it. She might not seem like it, nor does she act it, but she can be fairly intimidating with just a change of expression. This is not to say that she is harsh, but she would rather get things done before playing around. Vika Vasiliev, second child in the family, was born to two people who thrived in the world of business. Having stayed with them most her life, Vika could never have a pokemon as a pet, as her family was always having to move cities, over and over again. This lead to Vika meeting a lot of people, but never truly having any friends. All she wanted was to be different, and she was going to make her way to get what she wanted.

Suri Salmon Age 18 --- Gender F -- Sexuality Bisexual Full Profile Link The short, black-haired and thoroughly tanned girl can usually be seen in her signature red and black Ace-Trainer outfit. Always living in the shadow of her parents and the high expectations they, though herself moreso, set for her had taken their toll on the young girl and made her quite insecure and nervous, though as such also a little too polite or too tolerant at times.However, all that insecurity always seemed to fade once Suri starts battling, seeming to have inherited her parents talent and passion for Pokemon battles. With both her parents having been Ace-Trainers, and fantastic ones at that, in their prime, Suri made the decision to follow in their footsteps very early in her life, which left her with a lot of time to learn from and train with the best.

Sera Yuuki Age 18 --- Gender F -- Sexuality Pansexual Full Profile Link Short, fiery red hair, piercing emerald eyes, and a red and black Ace-Trainer outfit make it easy to spot Sera at a distance. Always eager, Sera will blaze ahead into danger and take any amount of personal risk for fun, confident that she and her friends will always come out on top. More than a little arrogant, she can easily get in over her head if cooler heads don't prevail, and more clever people can convince her to take on any bet or dare, no matter what it is or how risky it is for her, as long as it doesn't put her friends in danger. Born and raised in Unova, Sera only recently arrived in the Hoenn region, having moved the very day she met her partner. The two haven't had much experience battling, but now that her parents don't need help moving their things, she's all too eager to begin her adventure. It's a whole new place with a brand new attitude, and she's ready to be the best that she can be!

And the winner is... The Kyokugen Bombshell, Yuri Sakazaki! Yuri didn't need to hear the announcer. With the way that guy hit the ground, she knew she had won. She fanned herself with her gi, turned to the audience, and gave them a big thumbs up as the referee handed her the trophy. Shortly after the match, Yuri was in front of the arena. An advertisement next to her said, Meet Yuri Sakazaki herself! Free autographs! Yuri was having herself a grand ol' time signing pictures, taking new ones, and even taking the time to give her dad's dojo a few plugs here and there. Sure, there were a few rowdier fans, but nothing she couldn't handle.

Those that knew Chie Satonaka knew there were three things she loved above all else Meat in all its myriad forms, supporting Yukiko and, of course, martial arts. Whether it was in the form of movies, manga or live competitions, she had a love of the sport. And with Summer up, and Inaba's killer dealt with, she had seen no harm in going to attend a tournament. This one had been particularly exciting to watch. The athletic brunette had been expecting Yuri to win, and sure enough she hadn't been let down. But simply watching and cheering wasn't enough, and Chie wanted to have something to remember the event by. Thus she had stood in line for what felt like twenty minutes, edging closer and closer to the victor until she was actually face to face with the attractive martial artist. The sight of her so close made Chie blush uncontrollably. H-hey Sazaki-san! You were amazing today! Chie gushed, before holding out a picture for the victor to sign.
Thread: Trial of the Swallow (MellowYellow X Battle K-Road)

The compliment made Yuri smile. Sure, she heard a lot of them, but that didn't diminish their value. Yuri responded with Thanks! before taking the picture and following up with a, So, who am I making this out to? Someone back home, or the cutie right in front of me? She gave Chie a little tap on the nose. Yuri was used to being a little on the flirty side. When you fight certain people, like Benimaru for example, you learn how to exploit their weaknesses. But this... This was different. Something about the girl in front of her piqued her interest.
Thread: Trial of the Swallow (MellowYellow X Battle K-Road)

E-eh? Did Yuri just call her a cutie? Chie felt a little stunned, feeling as if she'd turned into a statue for a few seconds there. Not that she minded. Chie had never really been sure on just what the heck her own orientation was, and it seemed to change like the phases of the moon. Sometimes she'd see a guy and get a little hung up, then the next day she'd have Yukiko or Rise on the brain for most of the day. Oh! Chie said, realising she'd almost frozen in place. O-oh, t-to me please! It's Chie by the way! she said, laughing awkwardly while she scratched the back of her head. She'd already felt nervous simply making this approach and now she was feeling silly too.

The cameraman, whom had witnessed the spectacle with the two women, had turned beet red. Uh, y-yeah. Sure, Sakazaki-sama. He tried to look professional. Yuri turned back to Chie, and held out her hand. Well?

Wow, this day just kept getting better. Not only was she getting an autograph from the famed fighting heroine, but she was getting a picture with her too! Yuri was even cooler than Chie had thought.

R-ready when you are, she happily said.

The camera man turns back towards the line, Sorry guys, no more pictures. Camera just broke on me. Yuri relaxed herself, turning back to Chie. Well, that was unexpected. Still, you're gonna need something other than my autograph... After thinking to herself for a moment, Yuri snapped her fingers, I got it, wanna hang out with me for a bit? I got some time to kill before Ryo picks me up!

Dang! Chie cursed under her breath. Just her rotten luck for the camera to give out like that. However she once more found herself disarmed, looking at her idol in a mix of surprise, eagerness and worry. Oh, well uh... I mean if you'd be happy spending time with a fan, then uh... s-sure! I didn't have anything else planned today, ehehe. She scratched her neck, grinning sheepishly over at Yuri. Ah, w-well lead on I guess, she said, ignoring some of the envious looks that she was getting.

During the build-up to the tournament, she requested a room for herself to stay in, a room that she was now leading Chie to. Was she really going to do this?

Chie had followed after Yuri at an impressive speed, her toned legs practically set to skipping with how giddy she felt. Something like this, it was admittedly not what she was used to. Even hanging out with an idol like Rise didn't quite excite Chie as this opportunity did. Ah... ahaha, wow, Chie said as she followed Yuri into her home for the event, scanning her eyes around the area. She almost didn't hear Yuri at first. Eh? Chie blinked and looked over to Yuri. W-what ah, what do you mean? the young martial artist asked.
