Whitmoore Apartments/Final Fight

[Terminal]

So back in the old Live Forums, there were two (amongst many, these are just the ones I have deigned to bring up here) particularly longstanding RP threads.

 

The first was Whitmoore Apartments, which was both a localized slice of life/character-driven RP, with several extremely long and successful story arcs during its run, many of which occurred concurrently. I will forebear to actually describe the exact timeline of events since the thread itself was so long and detailed the exercise would be one of futility.

 

The second was Final Fight, another long-runner RP with the premise of Extradimensional entities summoning heroes and villains to an isolated planet in its own pocket dimension to fight each other with three lives each, with the promise that the sole winner would have any one wish of theirs granted. It then proceeded to get out of hand extremely quickly. There were players who were raising entire armies and building fortified strongholds, and a lot of different contestants who had no actual interest in getting their wish granted would show up just to decide they wanted to stop X or Y from winning, or that there might be other worthwhile goals to pursue on the pocket world. The thread itself also got hijacked a few times, but it survived these hijackings more often than not.

 

The big similarity between the two threads was that they were persistent locales with only very vague/generalized directives and that they both went on for quite some time. So I am here to ask and gauge interest in whether there is any interest in a continuation/reboot of either, or a fusion of the two, or any other premise along the same persistent and easily-accessible locale theme.

I'd always enjoyed reading/lurking Whitmoore Apartments and similar threads.  Never had much opportunity to reliably participate in them, but enjoyed reading them.

Can't find Final Fight.

I never took part in Final Fight, but I did spend a little time with the Whitmoore crew near the end...

 

After running for so long, it was hard to join as a newcomer, but I did have some fun trying to figure out where Surruna (Who really did deserve the title of "Shyest Hero in Paragon City"-) might fit into a group like that.

I think, at this point, a reboot would be more appropriate. But I would be interested in jumping back in. Wasn't involved in Final Fight but the more the merrier.

I wrote in Whitmoore Apartments for a few years and would be interested in doing so again, with a new character. I always enjoyed beginning new hero's lives at the apartments. It was a great way to begin their adventures.

 

PS: I probably won't RP in game more than the bare bones of, "Look, that apartment building is on fire! Let's put it out and save people." When playing I just want to play.

I was wondering if this would actually resurface.

Would love to see some more of the old Withmoore and Paragon University alumni come back!

Alright, since there is some expressed actual interest in it, I plan on rebooting Whitmoore apartments for a new iteration here on the forums.

 

The new RP will likely not take place in the original locale of Steel Canyon. I am thinking of basing the RP in Kallisti Wharf, to be more inclusive of Redside characters and schemes. Additional details will be forthcoming.

[American Valor]

I I am American Valor one of the original writers from the Whitmore apartments and Paragon University we actually had a villain thread that did not last. I might be interested in writing different characters different circumstances I would probably tie up Loose Ends for my other characters only because right now they are unplayable the funny part is the more things change the more things stay the same. C'est la vie. And for all those who enjoyed reading the Whitmore and Paragon University I want to thank you for reading the things that we wrote.
