FFVII Role Playing Rules and System (Read Before RPing)

Role Playing Rules and System

In this guild we have a specific system for Anyone creating Role Plays Scenarios.

ALL Role Plays will have a code entered in parenthesis after their name (ex. The Package (AC) ) These codes will designate a specific time period. Now to ensure that the time periods do not get out of control, there are listed time periods from which to choose from. However I am flexible with this and if you want to suggest a new time period for the list please PM me (Ermak Lorde) with the date and reasons why I should add it.
Below are the existing time zones.

Cannon Story Time Lines

(CC) or "Crisis Core" -- This one should be self explanatory. Before the Game and fated Nibelhiem incident, during the time in which the events of the game "Crisis Core" took place

(BC) or "Before Crisis" -- This includes most time periods before the game, near when Sephiroth first went insane, around the climatic pasts of many of our characters.

(SC) or "Sephiroth Crisis" -- This One takes place DURING The Time Period of the Final Fantasy 7 game. And does include Cloud and all the others (During the GAME not the Memories)

(AC) or "Advent Children" -- This one should be self explanatory: Approximately two years after the game during the time in which the events of the Movie "Advent Children" took place.

(DC) or "Dirge of Cerberus" -- This one should be self explanatory. Approximately three years after the game during the time in which the events of the game "Dirge of Cerberus" took place.

Side/Off Story Time Lines:

(CS) or "Calamity from the Skies" -- Approximately 2000 years before the game, after JENOVA crash landed, and before the Ancients were all but completely extinct.

(MC) or "Meteor Crux" -- This time line is set 2 years after AC, 1 year after DC.

(BR) or "Brief Respite" -- This time line is set after the Game (SC) but before AC when Sephiroth returns.

(TA) or "Temporal Anomalous" -- This Is a Non-Time line.... the time period in which characters exist can be ignored for these stories. consider it as though it were an "Alternate Universe" ... or AU.

(SM) or "Shrine of Memories" -- This time line takes place roughly 300 years after the Game, when the well known organizations have either died or changed. And all hints of the previous conflicts have passed into legend.

(AU) or "Alternate Universe" -- all time lines with this tag attached to it are time lines where the original (cannon) story is altered. They can take place during an existing plot segment or be set afterwards with certain Key Events having been altered.



If you have any other time lines you cannot do without PM me (With a good explanation) and I will consider them.

Do not assume you are all powerful, you are not. Do not tell people how someone else's character acted in a certain situation (without their permission).

This is all for now but this list might be edited if the situation calls for it.
