Phantasy Star Valor - Interest Check
Jun. 9th, 2020 05:22 pmPremise
Phantasy Star Valor is a a role play based on the long-runner classic RPG series by Sega - in particular, though not solely, the latest entry, Phantasy Star Online 2. As is common in Valor campaigns, the game will use an OC cast and variation of the setting, though many traditional elements will remain.
If you don't know Phantasy Star, especially the newest entries, a not-invalid comparison would be Interplanetary RWBY - over-the-top combat action in unrealistic space, powered by Photons to empower both defense and offense.
Players will take the roles of the members of a new forward-operations team of the galactic defense force, VALOR - Variable Assault Logistics, Operations and Reconnaissance. (The GM is open to reworking the acronym in spite of how long he already spent on it.) Based on one of the hundreds of ships of The Earthborne Fleet, you will proceed to help protect the galaxy from the vicious Falspawn... And other threats besides.
Expect the tone to often (but not always) be somewhat less than serious - your team will have plenty of downtime, and crossover and reference events are a thing that can happen. Chaos is just part of the fun, even as you get closer to the truth of this world.

If you are potentially interested in playing in this game as things start to flesh out, please either comment here or contact me on Discord or Plurk, particularly with initial questions and thoughts as I begin to flesh out the setting.
Please ensure I have the following information:
- The kind of schedule you can work with as to when sessions would be
- Character concept roughs, if you have any as yet
- Setting questions you want me to answer early on to help with character concepting
- Phantasy Star elements you particularly would like to keep or avoid from the classic quadrology, PSO1, or PSO2. (I do not know Universe/Portable nor Zero as well so expect less of that just by default, but if there's something from them you especially want, let me know!)
