YAAAAAS Old memes don't die, they just adapt with the times.

I believe that this is a topic that hopefully will not come off as tired or repeated because I personally don't see much discussion about it in the specific manner that I am going to address it in, if that makes any sense. So, as we all know, the majority of worlds that we visit in the Kingdom Hearts games are worlds based off Disney films/properties that are home to the various Disney characters that star in those films/properties. However, some of the Disney characters we've met have been documented as belonging to their native home world, and yet we've never actually seen those worlds. Now, obvious examples of these characters are people like Simba or Mushu or the Fairy Godmother, but those characters were later confirmed to be from actual worlds. See, I'm referring to the characters that do not have that sort of confirmation whatsoever. For instance, we saw Pongo, Perdita and all of their puppies from 101 Dalmations in KH1. Their journal entries claimed that they were from a native world, but we only ever saw them in Traverse Town and never got to see their actual world which was also claimed to have been lost to darkness thanks to Xehanort's Heartless. The same can be said for the summons Bambi and Dumbo, from the films of the same name. In the same vein, Chicken Little from KHII also qualifies, but I'd personally be glad if we never see a world based on that "film" inserted into the series. Of course, that's just me. This is what I'm basically trying to prove here: on technical terms, the Kingdom Hearts universe does in fact have worlds based on 101 Dalmatians, Bambi, Dumbo, and Chicken Little. These are worlds that are in fact possible for us to explore in the universe of KH if we are given the chance to. Not saying that we will or that they'll be apart of KHIII, but I'm just saying that it is possible to a certain extent. There's also the characters of Merlin and Experiment 626/Stitch (and by extension Dr. Jumba, Gantu, and the Grand Councilwoman I guess) that could be into this category, but I actually think that they are part of a special exception. You see, when it comes to them, I'm sure most of us have thought that there's the possibility of a Sword Of The Stone world or a Lilo & Stitch world just based on their existence in the series alone, but here's my line of thinking: For Merlin's case, there's never been any solid evidence that he originally inhabited a world based on SotS, he just simply existed in the universe, possibly solely in Radiant Garden, ever since the dawn of time. And it's not like that's not entirely plausible. Speaking realistically, the Disney inhabitants of the KH universe don't necessarily follow the standard flow of time. I'd dare say that most of them can pretty much be touted as "immortal", and I think Merlin qualifies for this. As for Stitch, his situation is a little more complex. In BBS, we were essentially given the prologue to Lilo & Stitch before Stitch crash lands on Earth, and we don't really know what happened to him afterwards, in-universe speaking. In KHII, he randomly shows up again for a couple of scenes and as a summon, and it's pretty much just handwaved that he used to be a bad guy but now he's good and all that jazz. We weren't told that he went to a world where he met a chubby Hawaiian girl and reformed himself either. He just sort of turned good on his own, and thanks to Birth By Sleep, we can also reinforce the idea that Stitch turned good because of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus and didn't need Lilo in the first place. So, it's all kinds of complicated. Still, my conclusion is that Stitch, and in extension the entire L&S cast from BBS are in fact just random aliens who exist in the universe on their own merits. Deep Space isn't really a world anyway, it's literally just a giant spaceship. It's about as much a world as the insides of Monstro were in KH1 and KHDDD. So yeah, there's my stance. Do you think any of the proposed worlds I talked about could be introduced in KHIII? Do you agree with my personal thesis on Merlin and Stitch? Are there any examples I might have missed?

GLITZ PIT RP SPINOFF, Final Fantasy Version [[The origins of this roleplay come from NSider and NSider2, though the lead originator is Link1487. However, the idea and creators of the Glitz's many versions have changed over the course of these many years and will change again. Yay, change! Ror, Inx, Zee, Link, and whoever else is out there still making Glitz Pit fun--thank you.]] Table of Contents I. Story II. Rules III. Fighter Rankings IV. Registered Matches V. How This Thread Will Work VI. Creating a Character VII. Arenas VIII. Item Shop IX. Character Profiles X. Element Chart XI. News Updates XII. Event Information XIII. Important Fight Judgments I) Story: Battles take place in an sequestered colosseum where previously known (or unknown) combatants of various universes wage private wars with each other. Existing hundreds of years, if not thousands, this arena has plucked heroes, villains, and potent wannabes of considerable strength to hone their combative elements of strength, focus, footwork, cunning, and magics. Many have retired in fame and luxury under the nurture of robotic servants and ambrosic foods and drinks, without fear of age or death, growing fat and happy. This is promised to all who opt out, but most desire one of two other options: continual fighting or an absolute escape. Plucked without reason other to fight, do you, O fighter, have what it takes to battle your way to fame, valiance, or the outside? Show your mettle in what is simply known as the Pit. II) Rules 1. Follow all original RP rules of KH13, if that wasn't obvious. 2. You must follow all of these rules while in this thread, and you must read the entire thread (the first few posts by me) before posting. 3. No g-modding. Simple definition: You cannot be invincible, or use overpowered attacks. More details can be found later in the thread. 4. All fighting will be judged by me. 5. If you are inactive for more than three days during a fight without an excuse given beforehand (like going on vacation, etc.), you automatically lose with no gain in coins. Don't request a battle if you don't think you can finish it. 6. I will make all final decisions regarding how matches will be set up, and their outcomes. No arguing with me over who won (unless you have a definitive reason), or you will be pushed down a rank in the ranking list. 7. Everyone gets a default 100 coins to begin with when you sign up. 8. If you would like to give your coins to someone, both parties involved must PM me verifying they would like the transaction to take place. 9. If you have any questions about the rules, or specific suggestions for the thread, PM me please instead of posting it here. 10. Limit OOC chat here please. That means try not to talk out of character. If you want, your character can talk to someone else's character, but make sure it does not create too much spam. 11. All bets on fights must be made before the fight begins or within the first 3 posts of the fight. (More on that later in thread) 12. All Brawls are open to anyone who is registered in this thread. (More on those later in thread) 13. Any fighters who consciously disobey the "max page" restriction a fight can last for will be lowered down a rank, and 100 coins will be deducted from their total. Going over by a little is fine, but when it's nearly double the maximum, punishment will be given. 14. Anyone ranked from halfway through the list of people, and up, will be put in the major league locker room. Anyone lower than half of the people here will be in the minor league locker room. The champion will have their own room. You may only challenge fighters who are in your league, unless you are at the top of your league. If you are at the top of the minor league, you may challenge the lowest ranking major league fighter for a place in that league. The same goes for the major league, except the first place person would challenge the champion. 15. Check the news section often for any updates to this thread. 16. Ignore the fact that the story is bad and cliche. 17. Everyone who joins gets a free 'Character Change' item upon registering. This is so they can create their first character and get a feel for it, but if they do not like it, they can change it to something completely different. 18. Try to keep OOC posts (surrounded with parenthesis) or [some other unique method] of differentiating between what your character says and does, and what you are trying to say. 19. Do not edit battle posts without my permission or the permission of your opponent, or other fighters might think you are cheating. 20. Notify me in this thread or via PM if you change your NS2 name so I can update the thread accordingly. III) Fighter Rankings IV) Registered Matches V) How this Thread Will Work This is the most important post of the thread, so it's very important you read it carefully and try to understand it. Some of you may be new to fighting, while others may not. A fighting tutorial will be posted near the end of this post to get you all familiar with how fighting should work. For now, we need to discuss the basic mechanics of non-battling things that happen in this thread. Table of Contents i. Betting ii. Setting Up a Match iii. Beginning a Match iv. Unlocking Things v.
