Hello everybody, hope all is well. It's been a while since I've spoken with everybody, especially in regards to the FC, and our site has become quite slow and quiet over the last month or so. That being said, I fully intend for us to continue the FC once everybody is able to. With the winter approaching, and that spelling time off for a lot of us (along with other responsibilities that get thrown our way during the holidays), I'm hoping it means we'll be able to revisit where we left off with the FC.
In preparation for the eventual (hopeful) return, I've made a new poster for the FC's Coven War saga.
Once we are able to return to the swing of things, I believe it will be a good chance to start discussing how we should progress from here. How I've thought about it, we can split them into three "arcs", which would become three individual main projects that will be done in order. Now, bear in mind, these are just rough frameworks and can be further discussed before we actually implement them, but here's what I was thinking.
The first would be Battle of the Seireitei. As things now stand, Kamui Kawahiru is placed as magistrate of the occupied Soul Society, and the forces of the Gotei 13 are scattered, lacking anything resembling a leader. In effect, they're all out there on their own, trying to manage the situation to the best of their individual abilities. It goes without saying, though, that they will endeavor to take their home back. This will be a full-scale war project, as it involves handling Kamui, an Archmage, as well as the other lower forces of the Coven, against the gathered remnants of the Gotei 13. It'll also be somewhere near the end of this arc that Haruma Kuyanagi will officially take his position as the third Captain-Commander. How many RPs this will be, I'm not sure, since it doesn't need to be a single linear progression, it can break up into branch RPs, which can all come together for a final one.
The second one would be World of Magic: Confrontation. This will most likely deal with individual confrontations with the remaining three Archmages. The name suggests that while the Gotei 13 forces were occupied retaking Soul Society, the Coven succeeded in their plan to seize control of the worlds through the recreation of a Soul King. These will be split into four specific RPs. One RP that will be a conjoined effort, explaining what's going on and what the Gotei 13's move is. And the remaining three will be three individual RPs focusing on the three other Archmages, and the battles those three will be involved in. From what I understand, excluding Kamui, we only have two other Archmages currently, both made by Saris. So we still need a final one made, but there's no rush, since this second part won't be something we'll get to too quickly.
The third and final one would be World of Magic: Last Stand. A final confrontation with the Masked Man himself and the remainder of the Coven. I'm thinking this will be split into three RPs as well, though we can discuss how this will go later. I'll most likely leave Nanja to handle this part since the Masked Man is his character, so he should make the final decisions on how this final conflict should proceed.
So, for now?
Just keep all of this in consideration. Hopefully, we can start the Battle of the Seireitei sometime this Winter.
As always, comments are welcome and encouraged.
