[BIG SISTER] Virtuality Show by Afro Samurai

All characters that appear in the following episode are property of their original creators and appear outside of their cannon. The original creators were contacted before hand and all agreed on allowing me to use their characters on this project.

Story Synopsis

Erk was jealous about some RMXP sucessful projects, so he sent some characters to a house. He thought people would forget them in time. Whereas in fact it just increased people's attention on those projects. Due to that, Erk established some rules being the main one sending home on character per week.

Characters

Cade Mistral

From Master Of The Wind

Born to a family inherently skilled in wind magic, Cade Mistral is a passionate and highly principled person. After years of wandering alone, he treasures his friends and his job as an armor merchant in Port Arianna. When the town is in danger, he grabs his spear and readies his wind magic, becoming the crime fighter known as Shroud.

Bones

From Master Of The Wind

Though he goes by the name "Bones" in Port Arianna, Stoic the skeleton has lived through about one thousand years of history. He is a deeply private individual, but shares Cade's quest to keep those around him safe from harm. He also has quite a temper, and enemies tend to fear him a bit more than Shroud.

Nola

From Nadir's Canon

Eamon

From Nadir's Canon

Koen Marek

From Cell Chamber

Koen was raised by his stern parents in a small, solitary village in the Central Continent. Due to his confinement and upbringing, he has no knowledge of the world outsides the village's existence. Koen has heard voices whitin himself since he was a young child, though he cannot understand nor comprehend them.

Evega

From Geredreth Seraph

Yunus

From Another

Darin Adrgall

From Ethereal Dreams

When Darin was in his late teens, he and his Dragon, Kane, left their home following a tragedy. Not long after leaving he befriends a misfit centaur, Phylip, and a lost Meenian, Ryaena. The three now reside on Silvania and travel together. Darin is a heavy drinker and a constant flirt. But his best friend and 'daughter' both know that deep down inside he's an honourable man.

Phylip Cybell

From Ethereal Dreams

Phylip travels with Darin and Ryaena acting as a no nonsense older brother at times. He always lectures Darin about his drinking, but means well.

Serren

From Sandfall

I don't know much about him, other than his reputation. He's a skilled gunfighter, and he's very cocky. They say that his lover was executed a year before the rebellion and that Serren's a bit of a lost soul now, searching for a long-lost city to fill some sort of hole in his heart. I don't understand it- his lover was just an exile.

Reonim

From Alliance

Credits/Special Thanks

Sarkilas for hosting the project
The original creators of the characters that allowed me to move foward
And you for reading this topic

 

[Sabao]

Pure genius. I think it would've done better with a little more variety in the cast, but the concept itself seems amusing. I'll be downloading this soon.

 

[Afro Samurai]

I know what you mean by variety of cast, there are plenty of characters that could fit the project and that was my fault. Thanks for the early feedback.

There you go... Some screenshots...

[Jstreet]

You're my friend and all, but tbh, I hated this...It was an absolute waste of time. It's not in the least bit interesting and it just randomly bounces around. I mean, the characters rarely even move. I'd drop this while you're ahead.

 

[Calibre]

I think the idea of it is really fun, and novel too... Though I can't comment on the execution of it as I haven't seen it yet. The hardest part was always going to be replicating the originally created personalities of all these characters and understanding the way they would react with one another in a given environment.

Were forum members going to be voting out contestants, or are you eventing that? I can't remember... Either way I can't see Koen lasting long... miserable bastard...

 

[Lackluster]

I vote Bones out..for being white D:

 

[Norris]

Yeah. I have to also say that I like this idea? quite a lot actually, for similar reasons. And I agree with Calibre, being able to realistically and accurately portray each and every character and their interactions with one another will be key in whether this idea does actually goes off.

Would be nifty if you let the community decide who should be kicked out, and then adjust accordingly. Could easily become the next community-ish game maybe :s

 

[Xilef]

Good idea, name sucks ass. From the comments this doesn't seem very good. Downloading now and will post my own comments soon.
It doesn't have any BW characters >.<
EDIT: Can't play. It requires the rtp. (I'm running off battle world so no rpg maker xp)
I'll try again when I get home.
I suggest you start the project again under a different name, post an application form for the house mates on the forum and allow voting the contestants off on from the forum and integrate that into the next episode. A poll would work just fine.

 

[Afro Samurai]

@Panda. Maybe you're right.

@Calibre. Forum members are going to vote. Just post the name of the character you want to leave the house.

@Lackluster. Thank you for voting.

@Norris. As I said on my first post "appear outside of their canon" but people like Hydrolic (Reonim's father) and Calibre (Koen's father) are helping me building up their personalities as close as they are on their games.

@el felixio. Yes it requires the RTP. I just didn't get the "starting the project with a different name".

I got a new download link by Sarkilas (Flair 24 Creator):

[Calibre]

Okay, after playing it I have a few points to make.

My first point is, Mr Rodrix... why is that eventing still in there lifted straight from my Cell Chamber project? Now people will play Cell Chamber when I release it and think... hmm this seems familarly boring... I knew you were using it to practice with but you said it wouldn't be in the final cut... and alas it's still there...

And as J street said your a pal of mine too but you have IMO gone about this all wrong. If it's supposed to be like Big Brother, why not just follow the blueprint of the show?

(BTW, I don't know how BB works everywhere, so I'm going on the UK version here... Firstly deafult rmxp music for this, that's lazy... just add the BB themetune. In the Uk we have a big eye as the logo but it seems your using another one, dunn where thats from...

Secondly... change the intro please, it doesnt even seem to fit with what you've done anyway so its unncessary to include it.

The first episode should be all the contestants entering the house one by one. With a small like videoclip introducing each contestant.. thats what I'm used to anyway.

You should map out the house like a BB house, maybe try using Kierapheonixs new futuristic tileset... the house theya re in just looks like an rpg house. There should be a diary room with a BB of some sort to talk to and to give them tasks etc.

Try developing the characters relationships, the first thing we see shouldn't be two characters discussing their relationships... how did they get there in the first place?

Just follow the BB blueprint to the show thoroughly and you could have a very popular project on your hands here. As it is, I don't think it will alst too long though, sorry.

Oh and that music that plays throughout it, get rid cos its very annoying and just have bird ambience for the day time and insects for the nighttime like they do on the show.

 

[Afro Samurai]

Calibre you're hundred per cent right. I'm remaking the whole episode with the help and advice of other members. Sorry having copied your intro. It won't happen again.

 

[Calibre]

I'm not particularly annoyed you used it other than for the reason of deja vu that I stated... and the way you used it kinda butchered the whole point of it! :P

Seeing as there isn't all that much work involved... provided you put a lot more work into the writing of this I could offer to plan out and map the house itself for you, provided you can wait a week or two for my university course to finish?

I wouldn't mind becasue it would other be what... 4- 5 maps? Bedroom, Lounge, Garden, Diary Room, Kitchen, Quiet Spot... Supply room... Entrance.. .well about 8 maps but 3 of them are tiny...

It's just beause A) I like the idea and wanna see it in the community and B) You've helped me out in the past, whaddya say?

 

[Afro Samurai]

I say A) Yes and B) I don't mind waiting for ya. Welcome aboard.

 

[Calibre]

I wouldn't quite say aboard! I'm thinking one evenings work should suffice for this! Who are you planning the rewriting of this with? Because you said "I'm remaking the whole episode with the help and advice of other members"...

 

[Afro Samurai]

Calibre I'm going to send you the tilesets we are going to use right away. Or if ya prefer, just when you're free. The rewriting of this will be handled by despain and me, though more of despain's hand.

 

[Calibre]

OK then, if that's the actual case I'll perhaps spend a little longer on the mapping then... :P

 

[Sarkilas]

This project has a lot of potential, as it proves to me a truly nice concept when it comes down to it. I've already voted my character for the first episode, and I reckon that you're rewriting things here, so what's the actual point of nominating right now?

I'll keep your project hosted for now, Afro, but if you're planning on bringing up a new first episode, I'll host that instead. Just let me know, will ya?

 

[Lene]

Took me awhile to realize why the heck you titled this game the way you did. I think maybe the meaning would be more clear if you did this: Big Sister - Virutal "reality" show. Or something along those lines.

 

[Calibre]

Just naming it Big Brother .ORG makes sense to me... at least everyone wil linstantly know what it is...

So where is this tileset Rod? PM it to me so I have an idea of what I'll be working with...

Okay I'll let ya know when I have the revised version of it. And yes, there's no sense of voting because the whole cast will change a little.

Big Brother .ORG makes no sense. It is hosted by other communities since Flair24, Mactopia Seeds and Rhino Cap, so it wouldn't be fair for them. By the way, I've already sent you the tilesets. Now get working. joking.

Thank you for your feedback. It is always nice to hear your opinions.
