hey, i'm creating my own rpg and i need ideas! if you want, contribute whatever and i'll gladly add it in!
just gimme what name you wanna use, what you wanna look like, how you want to be dressed, where your hangout(s) is/are, what your role is, etc etc. as much info as you can! so far, the roles are villager (normal guys walking around that you can talk to, the shopkeepers, the innkeepers, etc) and the enemies (guys you fight). if you're an "enemy," tell me what skills/spells you know (sure, you can make up your own abilities! just tell me what they aim to do), what weapons you'll use, how strong you want me to make you, etc
so far, there's no real main character. it'll just be some random guy. but i'll think of a story to keep you interested in him/her. a long time ago, i was planning out an rpg and i asked some of my friends what they wanted to be if i put them in it, and they all gave me ideas, so you'll encounter them (as well as your character) when the rpg is completed ^-^
oh yea, i know there was a lot of "what would you be if you were in a certain type of game" threads around lately, so if you're tired of rewriting your info over and over, just tell me to go check that thread and i'll do so  also, i saved that "MMCafe Fighting Game" thread that Iron D made a long time ago. so i'll probably go back to that for ideas if i run out of them (yes, i know i'm a loser for saving that, hehehe. but i thought it was interesting)
anyways, i think it's the same prog Gojira used to create his rpg (well, the 'demo' rpg he posted). i'll post the link to mine when i'm done with it. it'll be a loooooong time from now, but still

|  "My dream:"
, posted Sun 14 Jul 15:20:
The antagonist of the story that I am writting is a young woman, skin white as snow, blond hair, and light blue eyes; you'll see, on that continent (the biggest on that world) there are strong fights among nation on a military race, so every kingdom as a general called "Shrine Night", those nights are to command the army and are to desing strategies and protect the kingdom, it is a very though job and it is the greatest honor on the country.
The girl is in love with the Shrine Knight recently "elected" (wich is a man she has always admired since they where kids), thus she wants to become a knight herself to get in close with that man; note that the society of that world repels the idea of womans working on anything but the kitchen.
Lifes goes and she seems helpless (2 years goes by); one day; a foreing woman comes to the kingdom and she says that she is a fighter; Jane -the woman that I am talking of- sees a chance to fullfil her dream and began aprendship under this woman, after a lot of tests (the usual to become a knight; prove your worth and etc.), Jane is accepted as a knight, but she chooses not to, she rathers being an assistant to the shrine knight.
Two months later the Shrine Knight she loves so much (Braham) is banned from the kingdom without any reason and a new knight is "elected", Jane and the woman leave the kingdoom searching for Braham; on the afternoon of that day a wizard comes by and attack the kingdoom; slaying most of the knights and the pitifuly weak new shrine knight; Jane and the woman recieve a help call from one of the survivors and get back to the kingdom, the found bodies and in the king's room they found the wizard, he says "You are not worthy to be slayed by a king" and summon three monster, you fight one and beat him easily, you fight the other and beat him with some little work and the thrid one beats the crap out of you.
You awake at the inn and the city is destroyed, only the womans and some childrens are alive, everyone else is death.
Jane and the woman think that's better to find Braham to see if he knows something about it.
That's the beggining, note that Jane and the Girl (unnamed yet) are NOT the main.
Note that Braham (he is not the main either) became the shrine knight because he found a cursed weapon "the scorpion blade"; that blade is forged on the strongest metal but attracts dangers to the owner (getting rid of the blade does not dispel the curse); the blade has two "faces"; the normal closed, where it looks like a normal BIG bade (it's like a broad sword but purple) and the "open" where it takes the shape of a scorpion (being the tail the place where you held the sword); having such powerful weapon he easily became the kingdom most powerful knight; but since the sword itself attracts dangers to the kingdom, he was banned (he found the blade on a small village, so in that kingdom no one knew about the blade until that day). He later retires to live in a dangerous cave (wich legend says that is the hide of the devil himself); but the legend was fake and there it was no one in the cave (except for a few though monster); the people near the cave mistake Braham with the devil.
The true main of the story is a summoner that's wants to conquer the world, his story is that in another continent the church judged as heretic a kingdom of magicians, and the summoner is the sole survivor, feeding feelings of heatred he learns how to control powerfull beast to do his bidding, of course there is more to it.
That's the beggining, if you feel interested I can go into the details, the thing is that I have planned the game to be somewhat like BoF 4, to exchange the characters at certains point (dual main character, seen in BoF45 and FF VIII); but with the difference that you play a lot of hours with both and they both gather a party, at the half of the game many characters die due to some incident and they have to join forces, so at the end you end up with a mix up of the previous parties.

Can I be a shop keeper?!?!
I could run a potion store (since I assume that's the same thing as doctoring in the RPG world, right?) and like in real life I wear the bag on my head because other people scare me...
also if it's not too much extra work I'd want to be like those stupid witches in the Zelda games and be all like "Gee, if you want some of the sleep potion go bring me a mushroom so I can make some..." or "hmmm, so you need a cure potion? bring me a 3-legged frog, there toxins make a very good poison cure if prepared right"... I'd be the king of stupid fetch quest!
and if no one else wants to sell potions and send the hero on fetch quest I could be like that annoying Crocodile in Mario RPG and show up in all sorts of random places to sell my goods.
(btw-Where might one obtain this RPG making program? I tried making an RPG using the PSX RPG maker but was fustrated by the difficulty of customizing characters...)

In fact the program is the same RPGmaker but for the PC ;P

yes! thank you! any ideas you've got, keep 'em coming! the ones you've given me have already sparked up so much thought. time for me to get to work

Toxico: "but with the difference that you play a lot of hours with both and they both gather a party, at the half of the game many characters die due to some incident and they have to join forces, so at the end you end up with a mix up of the previous parties." damn, we think alike! i've always wanted to make an rpg that also focuses on the "bad guys" as well as the "good guys," because as we all know, everyone has their motives. the bad guys are that way for a reason
so which ideas do you want me to use? i can use bits and pieces of your rpg if that's cool with you. for example, i like that cave idea a lot. but i don't wanna use too much of your storyline though. if you actually do something grand with it one day (like get it published and sold for console), having your storyline mixed with mine will only ruin the originality of it

Dr Baghead: i know what you mean! i wanted to make an rpg with my psx rpg maker for the longest time but it's such a hassle doing everything with a controller. also, gah, only one of my friends would probably play it (the rest have joined the damn armed forces >_< or just don't care). i was so happy when i found this prog. anyways, here ya go

If you have a stupid heroin in your game (all the RPG have their stupid heroin, mostly white priest), I would love to be her dog. I would love her (but she wouldn't notice, because I would be a dog and she would be stupid) and try to bite every guy who want to date her (including, of course, the hero).
Then, it's up to you, I could be just a boss to beat before you can recruit the girl in your party, or a character to use (I would fight to protect her from the monsters and from the hero if I notice him going to close to her), or just a character that would come in a few special moves of the girl (a white priest should not attack, I would do it for her)
If the dog is a regular character, he could be in various cut scenes (like, he's doing the most evil things to destroy everyone going too close to the girl, but at the second she looks at him, he suddely turns into an adorable loving dog that nobody would suspect to do these horrible things. The victim would keep saying "it's the dog!" but she would never believe it because the dog is so cute). Some kind of Bulleta / BB Hood dog type.
what do you think? does it fits with your plot?

iggy: yes, perfect! it can fit the plot. oh yea, i'm really trying to steer away from many typical things you'll find in anime/games/rpgs, which is the whiny "what do i do?!" hero, the airhead heroine, the strong spellcasting girls (girls are always spellcasters -_-), the white mage girl (and they're always healers), etc etc. (well, not "always" but you know). cool idea! i've already developed the two main male characters but i'm still a little foggy on the two females. i'll attach your character to one of them
RugalBernstein: yep! when i'm done, i'm planning on drawing each character's faces myself. i'll also draw the monsters you'll see in battle. but there's no way i'm drawing those sprites from scratch i'll just use the ones they have available, download more off the internet, or edit whatever i've got. by the way, Rugal, (Athena) manual scaaaannsss!! hehe (sorry, excited here) oh, as for the music, yep! i can also insert whatever music i want for certain situations (for example, when you enter the room, a certain theme plays) .. although i'm having trouble figuring out how to assign different music to different battles 'cause i really really really want each boss battle to have their own theme so you can really get the feel of the boss
Gojira: this is where you come in, hehe. i haven't found a faq or anything yet about changing the battle music. got any tips on that? of course, i haven't looked around as much as i could've and maybe the answer is around the corner. i've figured out how to change the background music in different areas/situations, but still no luck on the music in the fights themselves
EDIT:
oh yea, i'm also steering away from using sprites from famous RPGs. so many ff rips out there, it's ridiculous -_- but i can't say the same for the chipsets (which are like backgrounds: castles, trees, desks, houses, grass, water, etc) and music. if i could write my own music, i'd really spend another month or so developing my own themes. but since i have no musical talent, i'll just go with any music that i feel fit the theme

Boss battles eh? Well that's easy, assuming you have an event that starts the battle (you probably will, if it's a boss battle). Right before you start it call the command "Change System BGM" and you can change the battle music and victory music with that. You'll have to change it back to default after the battle though, which you can do in the same event after the "Start Battle" command.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and when you're looking through those FAQs, if one pops up with a simple solution for the name entry problem, I'd really like to know. ^^;;

You can nuse everything that you like; that's why I posted it in the first time ;P, If we keep in touch we can plan a subquest about the matter or input that into the main storyline, if you want a character what tell me what are you aiming for (fighter, healer, original, anything) and I might be able to work something up.
