Guys...we really need to start ending posts with something that someone can start off from or at the very least..improvise from. I know that some of us have jobs and we check the site when we get home and are just too damn tired to fully concentrate on the post.
And some of us are just bums who chill out at home...and the others are just some kids on summer break.
The only time in which you should leave off at a post for someone not to be able to follow off of...should be when you're waiting for a single person to make a move..if you have another character in the same thread...use that one until the other member moves his/her character. Any problems or thoughts? Reply or pm

This made me think of Negotiations... Well, I've come to a conclusion! I'm not going to give Eldrin any actual storylines for now on... Of course I will still make and reply to threads... They will just be carefree ones though. I've discovered that due to his whimsical nature, it is very difficult for him to lead a serious story. He's much better as a side character, mainly because I myself have never thought of him as the "main character" of Zeldaplay... He's always been a side character, around to accentuate the skills and weaknesses of the others, and of course for comic relief.

Negotiations got me thinking of this issue as well..it's happened in a lot of the other threads...but that one was the one that got me thinking... and honestly...who ARE the main characters of Zeldaplay? o.O I mean...we have main characters for story lines...

No clue at all, I don't think we should be more worried about main characters. I think we need to establish a main plot for this forum, right now we are just going on about making up stories and now bringing Christian elements into a Polytheism society. . . I don't know about you guys but the whole undead Lucifer army thing in the Gates of Garon really got me going 'what the hell is this am I even in the right universe any more'.
Main point is I think we really need to establish a main plot that every one can just follow seriously or comically but something we can all agree on

I agree. Yet I don't believe in establishing main characters to anything. Unless it be a side story specifically to your character. We're all main characters here, that's the point of Zeldaplay. To make our own stories to which all of us can play a part. And the whole Lucifer thing? I didn't even know he was gonna do that until he put it in there. I just rolled with it. I think you might be taking it a bit too seriously. I mean, when you said, "am I even in the right universe anymore?" I mean come on, all of our characters shouldn't even be in the Zelda universe, we all have some unique ability that belongs in a comic book rather than here. We shape our characters only to the setting really, and create our own stories inside of it. Bringing in something like the undead army and Lucifer really shouldn't be that big of an issue. As for the whole main storyline, we should do what we did in the last site, have everyone propose an idea and then vote. But sadly last time the site was far too dead for that to be accomplished. I say we give it another go.

I don't think there is (or should be) a main character (though I must say both Azrael and Lien seem like good candidates). I agree with the main storyline point and, if I may add, I think it should have Ganon as the main antagonist. He is in every Zelda game (correct me if I'm wrong), and yet we hardly mention him. This is Zeldaplay after all. We were all drawn to it by our mutual love of the Legand of Zelda games, and yet we stray so far from it. Faro does a good job in incorporating Ganon into his writing... But I think we should all go back to it.
And also, Lien I agree. There isn't even a Satan/Lucifer equivalent in Hyrule's religion. The closest thing is Ganondorf.

We could always drop that storyline?

I know that we don''t have to strictly stay to Zelda, after all Lien is from a country I made up, but come on Lucifer? Fallen angels? Ganondorf could have cut it since he does still legitamatly holds the Triforce of Power and rose up that whole legion of zombies. . . thats what he does to every Zeldagame. :/
But eh, that's just me talking, not sure how the others feel exactly about this.

I see what you are saying. And I could just have Animus edit that out? And put in something else. Or we could just drop the whole thing and start over. Its up to you guys.

*shrugged* Wasn't it Mike's side story? The poor guy, he looked extremely confused. . . to be honest with you guys, I was going to take control of the army, but I didn't want to bend the plot the wrong way so I just didn't bother asking about it.
I wouldn't mind continuing the plot if it's edited or restarted.

Well I told Mike it was going to happen, but I didn't intend for it to be in his thread. Animus was just eager to get in on the action and he didn't have anywhere to post. And he didn't know how to start a thread because all of us are good and he is evil. So I kinda just said here, post there. I could just opt him out of the thread completely? And have him start a new thread somewhere and we could just forget that even happened? We could start from the point at where we are now, in Trevires. Well, those of us who are. And the rest of you can join in other threads or whatever you want.

Not saying to kick him out, I don't like kicking people out of threads unless it was nessicary (like a troll or a rper attacking another rper) I'm just saying we can edit and move on, but again, that's up to everyone who is also roleplaying in that thread to decide

I'm good with whatever, Eldrin can adapted to pretty much anything... But I'm just suggesting Ganon 'cause I think that more people would come to the site if it was more Zelda oriented... Ya know?
If we had Ganon chase the timepiece, then get killed in the process. We could have him rise up as a spirit/undead using an army of spirits. He could conquer Hyrule and Termina, decimate the Assassin's of Hyrule Lair, attack Kadina's tribe, and make plans to conquer Dragona. This would give most characters a reason to fight. They could band together as a small Rebellion against Ganon and his forces. Close to the end of this storyline Ganon could release a giant bird on them. The Rebellion, who normally fight separately and bicker among themselves, would all fight together for the first time and kill the bird monster (if anyone is willing to give up a character, the bird could kill that character). Then they would all take a feather as a sign of their union (and possibly to honor the fallen character). Then, together, the Rebellion would defeat Ganon, ending his reign but unfortunately failing to stop him from coming back to life.
Just a rough suggestion... I tried to incorporate elements that would be similar to Zelda, but still allow us individuality. Also I thought this would be a good way to give us a permanent name (with a reason for having that name), and give us a symbol of our connection (as discussed in Zeldaplay Characters!).

That's not a bad idea actually
