Phi when I see your avatar zoomed out, as it is is usually when I browse on my phone, the hand looks like a beard.

I have no qualms with the almighty hand-beard.

I heard great things about Russ and Daughters

It's a little too expensive for my blood, though.

"First that Ephy girl and now this oddly dressed man. Why are all the weirdos coming out now?" Phi muttered.

Arche looked at Phi, the cryptic enigma of a woman, "You're telling me. I totally never met any weird person until only recently." He joked sarcastically.

"Wha..." She punched his shoulder surprisingly hard for someone with skinny arms.

"Oww!" Arche flinched.

Aka a hate of change. MOST prominent among people who started with metroidvania and dont realize they were much the same kind of change.

It doesn't really matter how much of a change the metroidvania style was from the earlier games. Plain and simple, many people loved that style of gameplay/structure; enough to coin the name "metroidvania" in the first place.

If LoS was a good change from the formula people were familiar with, I doubt there would have been much complaints.

Okay, so there will be some roleplaying elements, not just a straight-up battle...

Basically, what will this RP involve?  Is it all fighting?  Will there be a story?  How much of the story will influence the players?  What kind of shops are you planning to have?  Items?  Armor classes?  Inventory?

Wushu still seems like a logical choice, but since you're including items and such, I may look into a d20 version of Call of Cthulhu.  The system for that would be pretty much the same as the one I linked to, only using a d20 instead of a d100.

Yeah, there is a story. Basically, the first post will explain how all the participants were kidnapped and forced to participate in this game/battle royale (from here, your introduction post can illustrate the last thing you remember before being abducted, whether it's being knocked out by gas, hit in the head, etc.)

I was thinking of there being 9 participants in total, just like the game this is (very) loosely based on. However, I have no problems with their being less or more, as long as there's at least 5 people.

Throughout the RP, I will have one character explain the rules of the battle royale to the participants. This character will be the one seemingly "in charge" of this game.

In terms of story being influential, the main aspect of story interaction will be talking to the robots in the shops; these robots being the ones who will sell you weapon parts, medicine, armor, items and pretty much anything you need to survive battle. Also, that one character I mentioned previously will, occasionally, speak to the participants/players to impart further details and news to them, even while in downtime (there will be screens placed around the city).

While I haven't thought up of every single shop/facility, there will be a lot of places to customize and improve your weapons.

Also, there can certainly be a class system. For example, someone could be a mage, while another is of a Dragoon class or Knight class. It's up to the player.

Oh, and of course, during downtime the player is more than welcome to create their own backstory for their character and whatnot. Participants can converse will each other, though I'm not entirely sure how well that would work, as the goal is to kill each other off to escape.

However, since it's an RP, I think it'd be better if there was interaction with one another besides the fighting segments.

Good friggin' GOD I've been having some wicked spasms in my foot.  It's not in the arch, but above it in the instep.  Freakin' hurts.  Methinks I might consider wearing my toe shoes now that the weather's nicer.

Do you have flat feet?

Because I used to, on occasion, have muscle spasms if I bended my foot a weird way.

Arche whistled, "Huh, that's pretty interesting," He seemed to know of the Commissioner, despite being in a different city from his.

(I'm just assuming that Gotham exists separately from New RPM City...)

Isn't Naruto supposed to be those little spiral things in ramen?

The surname "Uzumaki" is a pun on "spiral" (渦巻), because it refers to a three-dimensional spiral, like a whirlpool or vortex. "Uzumaki" can also mean "whirlpool", in reference to the Naruto whirlpools (鳴門の渦潮), named after the city of Naruto.

If I recall, it's also a representation of how chakra appears inside one's body. It swirls around.
