The Guyver RPG (Discussion Thread)

[minmaxticus]

Having just finished the 2005/2006 series, I was pondering starting up a Guyver-themed RPG. However, I wanted to see what people's feelings on such an endeavour might be - I know there was a Guyver RPG a couple years ago that sort of kind of fizzled out from what I could tell from reading the archives - my aim would be to do a couple things with the Guyver universe if I were to run an RPG in it:

1.) Mix the live action and manga/anime universes
2.) Tone down the "Dragon Ball Z" sense of escalation
3.) Deviate from the original manga story sometime before/during "X Day", when Chronos/Kronos/Cronos takes over the world.

I would also like to try and make each Zoanoid and the various stages thereafter (Hyper Zoanoids, Lost Numbers, etc) feel more important - this would probably also mean thinking more in terms of the live action movies which were more "restrained" because of a lack of budget. I would be open to having a few more Guyver Units, but would still probably restrict the number and ask that each one make sense and feel important to the overall story. Really, I'm open to hearing everyone's thoughts. My hope would be to create something that feels familiar to Toku and Guyver fans, but that ultimately brings something new to the table as well.

would love to be guyver two or the aptom of the rp.

Aptom would be cool! I sort of have my eyes set on Guyver II though. I haven't figured out how I would do it, but he'd somehow manage to survive being blown off the side of Chronos Japan like he was in the anime... trying to figure out if he'd just not have a damaged control medal or something, etc.

It's best if his medal was normal . Well then I'll be aptom or guyver 3. Idk I really love aptom but of course he won't be named aptom XD Well I really hope you make this rp because it seems like it will be great.

Oh and as of the idea of new guyvers hmmm maybe have guyver four be like the female guyver two but for a five Idk we'll have to find a pic of a different guyver.

My thought would be to "borrow" the idea of using Guyver 0/Guyver 4 for two more units... I think it would be interesting to use Sean Barker/Parker as another Guyver very similar to Japan's Guyver 1 as the "American Guyver 1" or something, and use the Zero/Valkyria designs in a similar manner to be analogs to Guyver III/II. I think the best idea would be to hold off on the Zoalords really appearing so quickly as they did in the anime/manga and instead have them be more shadowy and behind the scenes figures... Chronos wouldn't be quite as powerful as it were in the anime/manga, but I think that combined with slightly less over the top Guyver powers (again, more in line with the live action movies) will help add tension and intrigued as opposed to ZOMGPOWERRZ!1!one action...

 

[Demetrivamp]

That is the best idea since if they're the strongest of the strongest why would they show their face in the middle or the beginning XD

Hopefully, it would go without saying that Gigantic and Gigantic Dark would not be making appearances for the most part too.

yep I wonder how the gigantics will do when they go up against a zoalord.

 

[minmaxticus]

Of course... with only you voicing an interest so far... this may go nowhere.

awwwwwww well there are such things as one on one rps. but it wouldn't be fun.
