For those of you who were present when we discussed this back on fanfiction, you're probably familiar with how this is going to work. For those who might be confused, or for newcomers, I'll give a description of how the RP is going to function below.
The RP will be set in a free-flowing and dynamic world that will react to actions that we, the players, cause. The history of this world, along with the lore, will be built upon directly by the players who interact with it (of course, along with the things that've already been established by Araki himself).
The RP itself will be split into several arcs, each with their own specific objective(s) that must be completed before the next arc can begin. The main objective of the story is to ultimately defeat the Cutter, but before this can be accomplished multiple things need to be done. For example, the main objective in the first arc may be to simply figure out the identity of the cutter, while the second arc's objectives might be to determine the number of victims that he/she has taken, follow the trail of the Cutter themselves, and then track them down to wherever they may be hiding. These are only examples; however, and are subject to change.
In regards to how these objectives will be completed, your character/characters will embark on a "quest" to uncover certain pieces of evidence that, once combined with pieces of evidence that others have discovered, could possibly determine something crucial to the completion of the objective, or even reveal something critical to defeating the Cutter themselves! Now, all this being said, it'll never be quite as cut-and-dry as this, and I'll tell you why.
See, the mods and admins will act as "game masters" of sorts, detailing what sort of information your OC may or may not find, determining whether or not a lead was a good one or a dead end, and even deciding when certain enemies will appear. Don't worry though, you won't always find useless leads and false evidence; but you won't always find the perfect lead either. Some evidence will require some good intuition on the player's part to turn it into something useful! We will also use this to get things moving when they need to, create a few scenarios for characters as they explore the city, and generally just keep things interesting for people!
In regards to the villain characters, they can be used for purposes other than just blindly obeying the Cutter's orders. If they're brave and well-connected enough, they can take their chances and try to strike it out on their own; or they can freely interact with each other or the environment...as I said, the RP is dynamic and ever-changing!
Now, if there are any questions regarding what I've just described; or if I've left anything out, please don't hesitate to post below or send me a PM!
