Will I Ever Get His Attention... Battlefield of Love!!~!! [Interest Check]

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

WELCOME LADIES AND GENTZ

To the most toxic RP that will ever exist on this website. I'm your host Pyon to the P to the Q also known as Pyon Pyon Kyuu here to lay some sick R and Ps on y'all.

THIS IS A HAREM RP

A harem RP!?! How would that ever work in a million years. Well while browsing through a D&D forum, yours truly -degozaru found a system to incorporate a harem game into your favorite table top games. With some tweaking that is going on as we speak, this system will be adapted into a working RP.

Before we go anymore into detail, a lot of credit has to be given to the user "A Rainy Knight" from the Giant in the Playground forums for posting this in the homebrew forums for use. This person rocks!

Basics:

  Reveal hidden contents

Consider the goals of this RP:
1. To have fun
2.To make your character, the protagonists waifu.

For this purpose the RP will be divided into "episodes". An example of an episode could be a beach! On the beach adventure, the protagonist and all the player characters go out to the beach to frolic and have fun. Character A, thanks to a high allure stat and situational bonus, looks amazing in a swim suit and therefore wins the protagonist's attention. Character A then wins 6 VP (Victory Points), while the other characters win only 3. Several situations will pass using stats and I will be tallying up these points behind the scenes. At the end of the episode the character with the most points gets a special scene with the protagonist, and wins a memento. Eventually when the RP comes to a close, the character with the most mementos will end up as the protagonist's waifu!

REMEMBER THIS IS A GAME THOUGH!

I love competitiveness as much as the next guy, but goal 1. is to have fun. So create stupid situations, have fun even if your character doesn't win. The point is to have fun!

Stats!

  Reveal hidden contents

There will be four stats. In character creation you will chose your strongest stat, and your weakest stat. In background rolls, your character will get a +1 to any rolls using their strong stat, and get a -1 in any rolls using their weak stat.

These are!

Allure
Allure rolls represent your attempts to charm, persuade, or win over others with your personality and looks. Whether it’s flashing a winning smile first thing in the morning, looking great in your daring new swimsuit, or getting the protagonist to take your side with the help of your puppy dog eyes, Allure is the key to most positive social interactions.

Conflict
Conflict rolls represent your attempts to intimidate and defeat others with craftiness, ruthlessness, and violence. Conflict governs most negative social interactions, such as perfecting your terrifying death glare, beating bullies into submission, or having just the right threat to whisper into your competitor’s ear.

Luck
Luck rolls represent the coincidences and strokes of fortune both good and bad that end up putting you in intimate situations with the protagonist. Tripping chest first onto your lover, getting walked in on while changing, and being targeted by bullies that send the protagonist running to your aid are all the kinds of twists of fate governed by Luck.

Skill
Skill rolls represent your attempts to succeed at academics, sports, art, cuisine, and other practiced non-romantic pursuits. Skill governs a diverse range of challenging activities not spanned by the other rolls, such as crafting the perfect boxed lunch, pulling off a graceful ballroom dance, or cleverly doing some research to aid in your romantic pursuits.

Archetypes

  Reveal hidden contents

We all know that harems need a lot more than just stats. Oh no! On character creation you will choose your unique archetype! When the RP itself comes out there will be a huge list to chose from. Archetypes are unique to the player, and no two people can choose the same archetype. These will be decided by quality of the character. If two people want the "Tsundure" archetype, I will pick the best one. Here are a few examples of Archetypes that will be included in the final product.

If you notice, there are abilities that have to be activated. When this is the case, I will announce in the OOC when a roll is happening and what stats it's using. I'll announce any bonuses your character gets to these rolls. If you want to use an ability you have to say so in OOC when I say. Otherwise, not bonuses will be applied.

BUT WAIT ISN'T THAT TSUNDURE ABILiTY REALLY METAGAMEY AND I CAN JUST USE SOMEONE'S BONUSES

Yep, learn the meta scrub. There will be some very strong abilities. Hopefully the balance will work out in the end. If it doesn't, I might update archetypes between episodes.

Tsundure

  Reveal hidden contents

“D-don’t get the wrong idea, Protagonist-kun! I’m not doing this because I l-like you or anything!”

You have a prickly personality which conceals a secret lovey-dovey core. You deny your love for the protagonist whenever the subject comes up, but your luminescent blushing gives away your true feelings.

Gift Giver: “I just made too much, okay?!” +2 on Allure or Skill rolls involving making or giving a gift to the protagonist.

Less is More: The rarity of your tenderness makes it just as valuable as that of girls who always have it on display. Once per episode, instead of applying any other modifiers to a roll, you may use the highest modifier being applied to the same roll by another girl.

Personality Flip: Your usual standoffish attitude makes your tender moments all the more memorable. Twice per episode, by showing your extreme tsun side and voluntarily taking a -2 on your roll in one scene, you may show your extreme dere side and take a +2 on your roll in a later scene.

Verbal Barrage: “Urusai, urusai, urusai!” +2 on Conflict rolls involving verbal arguments.

Yandare

  Reveal hidden contents

“Protagonist-kun is mine… Only mine... Forever... Okay?”

You have an unhealthy obsession with the protagonist and a disturbing lack of mercy for the other girls vying for his affection. You dream of nothing but being with him, and your empty-eyed stare might be the last thing your competitors ever see.

Armed and Dangerous: You’re frighteningly good at improvising weapons from your surroundings. +1 on Conflict rolls when you have access to an improvised weapon (broken bottles, baseball bats, folding chairs, et cetera) and +2 on Conflict rolls when you have access to a particularly scary weapon (butcher knives, axes, chainsaws, et cetera).

Knife Nut: Wielding blades is second nature to you. +2 on Skill rolls involving sharp edges (e.g. dicing vegetables, trimming plants, cutting out decorations).

Murderous Love: Your dangerously obsessive devotion is your charm. Twice per episode, you can substitute a Conflict roll for an Allure roll.

Terrifying Presence: Looking into your psychotic eyes is downright terrifying. +2 on Conflict rolls involving intimidation or fright.

Shy

  Reveal hidden contents

“Eeek! Ah, d-don’t mind me, Protagonist-kun…”

You have a shy, withdrawn personality and an adorable timidity. You’re not the type to openly chase the protagonist down, but your vulnerable appeal may very well draw him to you instead.

Quiet Patience: You understand the value of waiting quietly in the wings for just the right chance to act. Twice per episode, +2 on a roll if you failed to earn any VP in the last scene where VP was awarded.

Scaredy-Cat: You instinctively cling to the protagonist when you get frightened. +2 on Allure rolls in scary situations (dark rooms, haunted houses, et cetera).

Shrinking Shadow: You’re so meek and quiet that people sometimes seem to forget that you’re even in the room. +2 on Skills rolls involving sneaking or stealth.

Vulnerable: You have a tendency to get in trouble, but the protagonist always rushes to your aid. +2 on Luck rolls involving ending up in peril.

Rich

  Reveal hidden contents

“Ara~! You say the store was closed, Protagonist-kun? I suppose I’ll have to buy it out and reopen it.”

You have expensive tastes and a background in wealthy, high-class society. You have more money than is strictly reasonable, and you’re convinced that you have the sophisticated charm to win the one thing you desire that money can’t buy: the protagonist’s heart.

Classy Lady: You’re well educated and practiced in high culture. +2 on Skill rolls involving classy activities such as ballroom dancing, high fashion, proper etiquette, et cetera.

Dazzling Display: You can disorient the other girls by flashing them more riches than they’ll ever see again in their lives. Once per episode, you can force any other girls attempting a roll in the same scene to roll twice and take the lower result.

Renaissance Lady: Why solve things like a commoner when you have so many elegant options at your disposal? +1 on Skill rolls if you had the option of using another roll type instead.

School Queen: Your sense of style and daily arrival in a limousine makes you a goddess to the guys of the student body at large. +2 on rolls involving NPC students other than the protagonist.

Otaku:

  Reveal hidden contents

“Oh, Protagonist-kun… I love you even more than my limited-edition figure collection!”

You have a deep involvement in hobbies such as anime, manga, gaming, or cosplaying, but you’ve evidently been paying enough attention to the real world to fall in love with the protagonist. Some people might find your obsessive pastimes a little off-putting, but, if nothing else, you know you have the dedication to win his heart!

Amateur Novelist: You’re just waiting for your big break on those light novels you write and illustrate as a hobby. +2 on Skill rolls involving writing or drawing.

Cosplay Enthusiast: You have a painstaking eye for detail that complements your love of cosplay. +2 on Skill rolls involving crafting disguises or costumes, and +2 on Allure rolls while dressed in cosplay.

Genre Savvy: You’ve watched enough harem anime to know where this is going… you don’t just stumble into unexpectedly romantic situations, you plan them. Twice per episode, you may substitute a Skill roll for a Luck roll.

Moe Enthusiast: You believe in the conquering power of cuteness over all else! +1 on Allure rolls if you had the option of using another roll type instead.

Idol:

  Reveal hidden contents

“Protagonist-kun, you’ll come to see my next concert, right~?”

You have a career outside school as a pop singer, combining sugary lyrics with choreographed moves to capture the hearts of entire crowds. But now that you’ve found your own heart captured by the protagonist, it’s time to work at winning the love you’ve sung so many songs about!

Idol Talent: Putting on a performance is your job, and you do it well. +2 to Skill rolls involving singing or dancing.

Kira Kira: You’ve gained a knack for making any costume glitter after donning many a sparkly, dazzling outfit for your concerts. +2 to Allure rolls when wearing a costume or an idol outfit.

Security Detail: You’ve got a security staff you can occasionally put to work shooing away undesirables in your stead. Once per episode, you may treat a failed Conflict roll as a success.

Star Quality: Something about you makes you stand out easily in a crowd. +1 on rolls being attempted by all the girls simultaneously. Also, another +1 if this roll is an Allure roll.

NOTE: The balance of archetypes and abilities can and will be completely changed. These are examples that are being worked on.

One final question before I let all y'all go. As the poll above asks: would anyone actually want to play a male character? Harem anime are usually reserved to the opposite gender of the protagonist but it's perfectly ok for the protagonist to be bisexual. I'll decide wether this is gender locked to girls or open to both genders depending on the poll!

Over and out, stay fresh y'all.

Protag-kun…this is beautiful, hilarious, and perfect. Though not sure if I'd have the time to participate...

As for playing a male character…eh, I don't mind either way.

[Chevaleresse]

Try to find the time! If we get four players or more interested, the RP will start in a week or two. It will take a while for me to get enough episodes on backlog to get it running.

Dandere being a tsundere Dan?

There are a lot of archetypes that I didn't add because I haven't finished balancing them yet. In the final product you can expect the ones I've posted and: kuudere, genki girl, pervert, half-foreign, tomboy, chuunibyou, delinquent, and class representative! Come on it will be funarino.

No, mine >:c

I will probably join. But when I do you better be expecting a fight Acqui owo

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

I'm not one who particularly cares for Harem stuff ((mostly cause I think it's kinda either pointless or just plain creepy at times but that's my thoughts and why it's not for me, it's fine if others like it XD.)) so I'll probably not be participating lol. I do hope this goes somewhere and it could be a pretty dang funny thing to read along to.

((I'm getting such weird Maid RPG vibes from this.... and when I watched some folks play that on the Tabletop RPG show I watched... it was one of the funniest bonkers things I've watched in awhile XD.))

I don't enjoy harems either. In fact I usually hate them, save for a few shows that pull it off really well. The idea of this RP isn't the romance, it's the character interaction, the funny situations, and the ways we can play with cliches. All in the name of fun.

[Raindrop Valkyrie]

That's why I said it kinda reminded me of Maid since it's a similar idea lol. ((since that game you generate a cahracter by rolling on a random table for like everything lol.)) But yea, I'm not really all that interested I know kinda what you're going for but eh... I'll still pass. Good luck though. Will be fun to see how silly it gets etc XD.

I mean besides the fact I watch all things with Mister Cox... ((what can I say? I can't get enough Cox.)) I just watch Rollplay in general way before he was ever on the show. I've watched since like Rollplay: Original and all the way up until now. ((which by the way... Jesse is a permanent member on Rollplay R&D now so, if you like ya some Jesse watch that shiiiiiit.... XD))

Annnnnnd off topic kinda... But yea it's what shows an RP like this can jsut sorta work lol. So it's not too off-topic ((since it's sorta the same idea XD.)) It's mostly the stats that reminded me of it since those are similar to the ones in Maid.))

[Commander]

Er, not my cup of tea to play, but I'll probably watch this one to see where it goes. Kind of an unusual idea around these parts...and Aqui as a Yandere...don't let Aqui be the Yandere she's scary enough as it is.

[Pyon Pyon Kyuu!~]

Well I think I've got enough people. Hopefully we won't get too many people backing out when the sign ups come around. Expect something on this around the weekend!

[Grizzlybrand]

Eh, this sounds fun. I'll prolly take the Half-Foreign.

[Chevaleresse]

Closing because the OOC exists now.
