Sample characters:
Sayazuki "Shadowblade" McDowell
Alignment: Edgy
Rune: Dark
Job: Mercenary
Destiny: Reincarnator (Demon)
A sullen teenager who was nearly killed by her family on account of the fact she was discovered to be the reincarnation of a demon after manifesting abilities by the age of 11. After living on the streets, she joined a mercenary group. She a skilled warrior, helped by her demonic powers which her enemies fear and her allies respect.

Britney Irwin
Alignment: Kawaii
Rune: Beast
Job: Scene Kid
Destiny: Martial Artist
Obsessed with wolves from a young age, learning that she was the descendant of an ancient wolf god was the surprise of her life. After winning $2000 from an art competition at her local library, she ran off to the Blizzard Pack, a notorious werewolf mafia, to prove her lupine heritage to her friends. This resulted in the Blizzard Pack forcing her into their ranks on pain of killing all her friends and family, for they recognized her great potential. After using the martial arts the Pack taught her to commit crimes on their behalf, she beat them all up and instead decided them to use them for justice.

I'm also hopelessly nostalgic for this era of the internet. I like your alignment chart but I think it's missing an axis for "badass" to represent the shonen protagonist type of character. The symbols for each alignment could be
>Edgy - ¬_¬
>Kawaii - =3
>Random - XD
>Badass - >;^)

I also didn't care too much for the setting tho, I think it would be much more accurate if you just thought of popular media with teenagers at the the time and made a region based on it. I can share some examples I thought of if you don't mind

>Macabre Land - Edgy + Kawaii - Aesthetically it's Tim Burton meets literally any female shounen mangaka(like FMA, Kuroshitsuji, Pandora Hearts and so on). It's full of undead, goth kids, werewolves and twisted versions of Alice in Wonderland characters. A good percentage of the population of the nobility has some kind of family curse. Roughly based on the victorian era

>Fight Land - Badass + Random - It's the battle shounen world, mostly eastern but with some Saint Seiya looking "knights" here and there. Not everyone here is a fighter tho, most are just regular people but half their problems can only be solved through punching, that's when the OCs(martial artists, samurai, ninjas and so on) come in. Ancient times with lots of anachronisms

>Magical Land - Badass + Kawaii - It's Harry Potter with Mahou Shoujo in a medieval fantasy setting like Zelda and Final Fantasy, the four elements are REALLY important around here, it's mostly european but with a few travellers from distant lands. Most notable anachronisms being the big magic school and railroad system

>Future Land - Badass + Edgy - More magitek than sci-fi and even though guns are common people still use swords and stuff, it's very dystopic with the rich living in pristine high-tech cities and the poor living in glolirified junkyards, it has all size of robots but the giant ones are particularly of note. It's very similar to Fight World in some ways but it's a little more serious. Basically FFVII mixed with Battle Angel Alita and Gundam

>Adventure Land - Kawaii + Random - This is the uncharted region of the world and consists mostly of oceans and islands. Explorers and pirates hailing from the other lands came to these parts and besides the volcano worshiping human natives they've also found the mysterious races of beastfolk(furries or kemono depending on your preference). Also for some reason there is a high population of ninjas here and they feud a lot with the local pirates

>>83852481
Come to think of it, I actually have put in things like those but I haven't written much about them. Frankly, my main source of inspiration for worldbuilding was Felarya because it was the most deviantart setting I could find.

>Macabre Land
Haven't put something like that yet. Maybe i'll put it in the Frostlands. Will get to it.
>Fight Land
Great idea. I'll make Geo City more like this. Near post apocalyptic, warlike post y2k disaster city state with a LOT of groups fighting for power. It also helps that everyone below 23 years old is reincarnated from a nonhuman who died during the disaster.
>Magical Land
I actually did that with Many Kingdoms, but didn't describe it in enough detail.
>Future Land
Maybe I could put it somewhere with mysterious colonies around the world, who are scientific to contrast with the rest of the world. Like the God Learners from Glorantha, except with much more advance technology.
>Adventure Land
The Fever Lands and the Seven Seas. Also the Archaeomundi, which is essentially a land of the most batshit crazy monsters I can think of, like the Dark Continent from HxH.

I also forgot to elaborate that reason Geo City is the only place with humans is because all sentient mortals must have at least one awakened rune by birth, and humans are an anomaly.
The fact humans aren't linked to any runes means we have the most potential, which is why humans have the most plot armour.
Thanks for the advice, anon.

You're welcome. When reading your setting It was too furry for my taste but
>The fact humans aren't linked to any runes means we have the most potential, which is why humans have the most plot armour.
is a cool reason. But what really bothered me was the lack of vampires, steampunk, magic schools and pirates(Pirates vs Ninjas was peak internet humor from that time). Make sure to look up some Nightmare Before Christmas and Harry Potter anime style fanart if you do eventually work those into the setting

>>83852466

I think the main problem right is that we were looking in different places. I was probing the web for stuff that evoked a similar feel to Dottie Hill's art, as specifically DeviantArt as possible. Of course, this led me to a lot of furry websites.
Basically I was drinking from a very specific outlet of internet culture, so to speak. Whereas you were going for the stuff that influenced it.
The furry community was the best source of sparkledoggery I could find, and the fact that you can find no better sources of bedazzled critters than online roleplays, I tried to integrate them into the setting as much as I coul
>vampires, steampunk, magic schools and pirates
Thing is I was really unsure where to put those, because I don't want either detracting from it being mostly wuxia influence it, but i'll eventually find a way to balance it out. Now I have a vague idea of where to put the vampires though.

I think it should work sort of like Planescape, where the setting is on the alignment spectrum the same way characters are. So in one corner of the world close to the Elemental Pole of Edgy you'd have goth victorian Black Butler land, near the Elemental Pole of Kawaii there would be Neopia and the magical girl kingdom, and between the two would be cute macabre Nightmare Before Christmas land
I also agree that the alignment chart needs a shonen axis, Dragon Ball OCs were huge in the early 2000s.

How would Static-X, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, and Korn fit in? Or, maybe, should 'alignment' be replaced with which bands/music they are into? Don't let this thread die!

>>83865798
I've suggested a little Planescape thing in my >>83852481 post. Neopia would definetly be the conjuction of Kawaii(cute animals and faeries) and Random(LOL MEEPITS ARE EVIL!!!11!!! JELLY WORLD AND DUNG EVERYWHERE LMAO) that's why I suggested "Adventure Land" as the home of the beastfolk, that way you can have all the penguins of doom you want

I also felt bad about loosing the cool triangle but I can't really call the badass alignment redundant. Super forms with gold motiff, giant swords(I remember being obsessed with the name "zanbato" as soon as I learned about it) and spiky hair. I also think it helps nail down characters better, for example: Link as depicted by fangirls. He's not edgy nor random, and calling him Kawaii just for the bishie factor is limiting. Call it Badass Kawaii and it fits like a glove

>>83841016

I don't think "mascot with attitude" belongs in the realm of Edgy, they're more about being hip and cool therefore Badass. True Edgy in my opinion would be Jeff the Killer, he's an assassin but not the cool Ezio type of assassin, just a psychopath

My original suggestion was Steampunk Land because it was a big thing with internet kids in the 2000s but it was just because it was the one thing missing an alignment(I thought of the lands first and than realized I could link them to the alignments) but it doesn't really fit and I guess steampunk could be present in any of the the other lands(except Future). But I put some thought into it and came up with two options, one ties with >>83913022
>Teenage Slice-of-Life Land - Edgy + Random - An ambiguously western/japanese country, life is just like it used to be in the 2000s, not a lot of outlandish stuff happens here like it does in the other lands. This land, however, is the origin of a very particular kind of OC: The Self-Inserts, these OCs have a very high potential with the cost of being extremely plain. The reasoning for the alignment being that real teenagers aren't badass but they can still be very edgy and cringy(random)

But I also thought of a possible "Internet Land" that represents webcomics, flash games and animation. These could be cute and cool but If I had to pick the two most defining traits it would be: Edgy for how gorey and counterculture they could be, and Random as they were often humorous. It could be like the Cyberspace in >>83856954 with added inspiration from stuff like Newgrounds and Happy Tree Friends

The thing is both these ideas work for the Edgy+Random land but could also pass as a "neutral" zone that emcopasses all four axis of weebkitsch alignment. The Internet Land works since this is all based on internet culture after all but I also think having the Slice of Life Land fits nicely with OP's original idea for humans having the most potential of all the races

Maybe we could take cues from Dungeons: the Dragoning and have the mechanics be a mishmash of ideas from other TRPGs, excepts this one uses a different set of sources. I don't know where to start though because I don't know what were the popular RPGs of that era aside from D&D and maybe White Wolf stuff.

Another idea is to use Roll to Dodge, anyone remember that? Action resolution, no matter what, is done on a single D6.

Oh yes, and this will surely appeal to you: http://pw.z42.net/Home.htm This is an early 2000s webcomic.

I love everything about this, but if I can suggest one thing, I feel like a really involved weapon system is required. Something that allows you to invent a truly stupid weapon like a gun the fires flaming nunchucks or whatever. Also maybe have your alignment give you some kind of passive benefit or something? Edgy alignments can kill shit better, badass gets a zenkai boost, kawaii gets better social options, random can pull a needed item out of their ass, something like that would be cool.

Hey OP, I've been looking in the archives and I've just learned this wasn't the first time you talked about this project here on /tg/.

I do have some new suggestions. Like >>83923161 said having cool ridiculous weapons is part of the 2000's OC experience but to make it more genuine weapon design should be part of character creation, because let's face it: We don't want our OCs to start out with a regular ass broad sword, no, we want our super special Mystic Boomerang Sword made out of The Last Dragon Tear or something, it part of my backstory even

Also a pet system based on those old Dragon Cave adoptables and variants

Ya know what?

Slice-of-Life Land should gradually segue out into Fight Land the further out from it you go. A lone oasis of unnatural peace in a land of violence. When you go West, things start to look like a post apocalyptic wild west full of lawless nonhumans and bandits. Whereas when you go North and East, it becomes Sengoku Japan with samurai, ninja, and yokai, with both having a lot of martial artists around in common.

Which runes would give an OC the power to copy another's abilities? What if this power also turned the user into a palette swap of the one he's copying. Now, could you imagine a more heinous crime? Claiming someone else's identity and hard work, something like that shouldn't exist, that's why the Order of the Inquisition hunts down these heretics. Members of the Order wear round steel rings to secretely recognize themselves

Seems so. They've been updating the doc and adding some game mechanics outside of character creation

>>83942989
>Also, how many elements (and sub elements) do we need?
As many as you like. It doesn't matter.

I'd like to pitch the Scale Advantage mechanic from Open Versatile Anime. The tl;dr is that for opposed tests between entities that operate on different scales (e.g. mech vs human), whichever operates better has a bonus. Mech gets advantage in a straight race while human gets advantage for weaving through alleyways.

This is for those cinematic situations where facing something isn't impossible but very difficult. Unless we're going for for Gurran Lagann-tier interactions where a human can swordfight a helicopter with equal effectiveness.

It's 11pm atm, i'll come back tomorrow with another idea for action economy. Are we doing fixed actions per round or variable subactiond of a fixed time span? (Only example i know is Ops and Tactics) There's also the kinda-inverse I saw in FEAR RPG (Paul Jeffcoat) where actions have "lag time" of seconds before takinh effect so you have to decide if you want to swing your buster sword or go for a light jab.

Now what if different classes had a similar system during character creation? You create your own style as a martial artist, you create your own deity as a priest and so on. You could have different rules for different classes, like a priest having more drawbacks than the other classes in the form of dogmas and religious guidelines(thou shalt not harm wildlife) in exchange of having a god favoring you(bonus to dice rolls or more plot armor?)

Also, would a Savant OC whose hobbies included soccer be like an Inazuma Eleven character with soccer super powers and whatever?

>I've just learned this wasn't the first time you talked about this project here on /tg/.
Well a single image kicked this whole thing into motion. I only started getting really serious about it this year when I managed to streamline the magic system into something comprehensible. I'm frankly surprised how positive the reception is here considering what happens to other settings that get posted on this board.

>I see that you're putting a lot of work into it and that this doc doesn't cover all of your world building,
Now listen. If I had a nickel for every time I completely overhauled my setting and worldbuilding I'd be a fuckin millionaire by now
Bah, i've been writing a shit ton of irrelevant stuff about it files on my hard drive. And a lot of stuff I wrote, I'd rather forget about. Nothing's really canon.
Honestly when it came to the 2000s stuff I wasn't really aiming to have it perfectly accurate, just to capture the overall vibe. The setting is less a pure homage rather tan just a bowl full of things I like. Of course, i'll keep that but I also really, really, *really* like your planescape esque cosmology.

>so sorry if I come off as trying to hijack your work and deviating it from the wuxia inspiration
For the record, you aren't hijacking my work. I really appreciate your input, and you gave me a lot of insight I never considered before. You helped me give this project a little more direction, when before I was scrambling around like an octopus on rollerskates. And honestly, if this wasn't an anonymous board I'd put your name in the credits.
I find it not only a very cynical but unhealthy to think of every exchange of ideas as an exploitative relationship... a very 2010s mindset in and of itself. Honestly, that kind of attitude needs to die hard. I don't care if people "steal" my "work", because what am I, a closed species artist?

>Taking my "Mystic Boomerang Sword made out of the Last Dragon Tear" as an example

Y'know what i'll integrate this into the system, with a few adjustments... And you can invest Plot Armour to make them cooler as you get more powerful!

>You create your own style as a martial artist, you create your own deity as a priest and so on.

That's what I'm talking about. But a single fighting style has to focus on one kind of weapon, or be unarmed. All of them will lead to supernatural powers provided you invest Plot Armour into them.

...And you can make your own religion!

>You could have different rules for different classes, like a priest having more drawbacks than the other classes in the form of dogmas and religious guidelines(thou shalt not harm wildlife) in exchange of having a god favoring you(bonus to dice rolls or more plot armor?)

The more restrictions the priest has, the more dedicated he is, and thus more powerful. If he lives by the word of his god, he has more opportunities to build up karma.

You can also decide what kind of institution supports that god: is it just a small, disorganized cult, or is it a huge, regimented clergy with ranks to climb?

Priests could potentially be the most powerful destiny, because being directly connected to the gods is the best god damn way to build up karma and get a position in the celestial bureaucracy yourself.

The greater and more distant the god, the less personal the relationship between the priest and the deity.

You could have big, impersonal forces that grant you miracles under specific circumstances, or you could be the apostle of the river goddess near your hometown who follows you around and helps you out every time you burn an offering for her. Basically you could choose what kind of relationship you have with your god. In some cultures it isn't

I'm also thinking of various other kinds of priests, like mediums for ghosts and shamans for nature spirits and whatnot.

Thanks mate. To be honest that was also just a buch of things I like, It just so happens that I was always into kitchen sink settings since I started playing fucking Neopets, the planescape alignment thing came after me thinking about each land

Maybe call it a "channeler"? So, I can see how the martial artist, priest and magician differ from each other as classes but what exactly do you got in mind for the Savant and Reincarnator? I see their gimmicks but not how it would work as class

RE: the karma mechanics.
I think it should be possible to sacrifice positive karma for plot armor, so players have an opportunity to gamble their reroll potential for a long term return.
Also, there should be a karma bonus for ruining a forced moral dillemma. (I teleport the bodies out of the track / I merge the timelines of both choices so that everyone survives / nobody was on the train that I just destroyed).

>AntiGod
How is this an inverse to regular deification? Is it supposed to mean transformation into a ruthless cosmic force, or some kind of torturous endarkenment?

>>83966307
>I think it should be possible to sacrifice positive karma for plot armor
That's called doing something that would get you plot armour instead of karma. Like making the whole table laugh by acting hilariously out of character.

>Is it supposed to mean transformation into a ruthless cosmic force...
Yep.

Oh hey the artist for OVA, I didn't think he was part of that group. Small world.

Do you consider Endling, Zeurel and Unknown-Person to be in the list? And for anyone curious, last I recall UP went professional somewhere after he disappeared.

Also, do you think we should replace the Glass species with Gemstone?

>>83971914
>Do you consider Endling, Zeurel and Unknown-Person to be in the list?
I don't think so because I never added their art to my inspiration folder. I literally scrolled through all of them and added the names of the ones whose internet presence I could track down.
>Also, do you think we should replace the Glass species with Gemstone?
I haven't written about any gem-based fantasy races ever since that rock lesbian cartoon destroyed all hopes of me making one.

Well I realized recently that Reincarnator is redundant. And with the other classes, just by hearing their names you get this expectation of what they're supposted to be.
Players are gonna expect the Magician to be like Lina Inverse, the Priest like... I dunno, just a healbot or something.
But a Savant has no connotations at all, especially when compared to the other classes. It's just a normal person who now has superpowers because he does what he's good at. Like a tag along kid who doesn't seem like much at first but can hold their own. And I thought that could make for a great Kawaii or Random character.

I like it, It's like a wild card & utility class like D&D's bard, which if done in this system could be a savant with music as a hobby

Also what's your opinion on having a badass alignment? Do you find it redundant or do you have trouble trying to fit it into the system?

>>83996336
NTA but, while I like the idea, I do think it's a bit redundant sinve any of the three aligbments can be badass in their own way. Turning it into its own alignment would imply non-vadasses can't be awesome own their own. Plus the three sectors makes it stand out from the usual DnD alugnment chart.

The karma mechanic is odd, sort of based on "self-actualization versus utilitarianism" instead of good versus evil (and paradoxically, self denying beliefs would count as a dharma, meaning that you accept yourself by righteously denying yourself). People who act the most like themselves have more freedom to be themself, leading up to being the patron saint/god/bodhisattva of the things they are. Treat yourself like a tool, and your afterlife is becoming a tool. Through this and the influences, I assume that demons are troubled boys and cute girls who just happen to work for an intentionally miserable system. Then an antigod is someone who threw everything away for their ambitions, so weighed by grief and regret that nothing is left of them except for their goals, acting and looking like a JRPG villain that will melt down into some freakish final boss. Also "antigod" is a sucky name, maybe something like "molochs" would be better, for the demonized deity that was flanderized into a symbol of dehumanization and sacrifice.

>>83973052
>I haven't written about any gem-based fantasy races ever since that rock lesbian cartoon destroyed all hopes of me making one.
That's the EXACT mindset that you're trying to discard, there are so many other versions of that concept than hers, and always someone else who sees their favorite property as the definitive owner of any fantastical concept.

>>83995475
Oh dang! I wanted to discuss what "extraterrestrial" entailed when it was written into the reincarnator class, about starseeds and stuff like that. Astraplex has room for both fake aliens inside its false sky and real aliens on other real planets, I mentioned the idea before there's an exoplanetary system based on the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, though it seems like the most meaningless thing when the True Sun would probably eradicate any unenlightened beings, not to mention that planets are the size of entire existential planes.

I don't think adding any new alignments would make it like D&D since there are no opposing sectors here. It also lacks the "Neutral" and instead we have Pure/True versions of each one

I understand that it kinda implies that the other alignements can't be badass but I still feel like there'd be something missing without a way to represent characters that are just supposed to be cool, no edge, no wackyness and no cuteness. Badass was just the more internety name I could come up with, Epic, Awesome or Cool are some alternatives but I guess they fall into the same problem

I think Edgy, Random and Kawaii are words that in the context of the internet mean very specific things but outside of it they're more generic. What I tried to describe with the badass alignement was also a specific archetype but the problem is that, even in the context of the internet, this word alongside epic, awesome and cool doesn't always refer to shonen protagonists

Exactly.
>since there are no opposing sectors here.
But I don't know how to make a tetrahedron look good because all I have is MS Paint and shit. So what I can do, right, is put "Badass" in the center or something.

>>83996336
>Do you find it redundant
At first, yes, but now, I think I see where you're coming from. I was thinking right that every character eventually gets more badass, but then I got to thinking because I first conflated badass with edgy.
But then the main crucial difference here is that a Badass OC is idealistic while an Edgy OC is cynical. So Badass OCs would focus more on surviving and defending, protecting the people they love, so to speak.
>or do you have trouble trying to fit it into the system?
Frankly, it's the latter... But I'll see what I can do about it. Most of it's just my autism making me indecisive as all heck, endlessly fixating over the perfection of the number three.
