Opinion Poll: Fusion Roleplay

[Sikota Urinakano 876]

Hello roleplayers, rookie and veteran alike! I've been getting into a fairly new show on Cartoon Network. You might know it as Steven Universe. It's fairly lighthearted (most of the time) but the universe—no pun intended—it's set in is deep and very interesting. I have a loose roleplay idea in my head that I've been trying to sand down and fine tune it into something a little more concrete. I thought to gather thoughts before I do so.

 

It would likely take place on a galactic scale, either colonizing and/or warring over planets. Characters would be themed and named after gems/crystals. Each character has their special weapon that can be summoned at will from their gem somewhere on their body. Characters could also have their own unique special abilities. Gems' lifeforce come from their... gem, basically. Their bodies can expire, but can really only die if their gem is greatly damaged or destroyed. So sleeping and eating is unnecessary for their survival.

 

The most interesting mechanic I'd want to try and put into roleplay form is the idea of gem fusion. If two gems have a strong enough bond, they can fuse into a single unique being. The tricky part will be which of the two gems control the fusion. An easy solution is a single roleplayer controlling two characters that can fuse. A more interesting idea would be two roleplayer's characters can fuse and those two roleplayers alternate posting actions on that single fusion character. Details can be up to the two roleplayers themselves, and creating the details for the fusion can be done in the sign ups and discussion thread. Let me know what you'll all think. If I get enough a positive response, I'll work on putting this roleplay together.

I'd love to participate! I think Nekohive was planning a Universe RP as well, maybe you two could talk about it.

Ironic. But that would not end well.

I see. Well I'm unsure if they're still worming on it, so go ahead and plan yours I'd love to participate in an su rp.

This would work well with a new character I was making actually...

This is turning out to be a bigger idea than I thought. I haven't done big group roleplays in a while, so I'll have to do a smaller roleplay or two to make sure I can manage it.
