Hello RPNation welcome to my Megaman RP thread. I intend to run one of two ideas I have for an awesome RP, both of which involve concepts originally developed by Capcom in their hit Megaman games. The first idea is based loosely off the Megaman Zero games, where the world has moved on since the time of X and the Maverick Hunters. Now natural humans are the exception rather than the norm, and most of the population is made up of reploids. The RP would start out based in a city, surrounded by wasteland, that has been largely reconstructed by reploids over the last 200 years and now supports a population of around 25,000; again mostly reploids but not without a healthy community of humans and cyborgs. This would be my choice of concepts to use for this RP, but would require at LEAST 10 individual players.
The second concept is based off the Megaman Legends games. If you haven't played them yet, find a used game store and buy them; they'll be worth the $10 you pay for them. In the meantime, I'll quote the opening dialogue from the first game.
In either case, I'm looking to run GM style without mechanics for the time being. I intend to handle plot points and overall world construction, while at the same time allowing my players plenty of freedom to progress at their own pace. Basically, I handle all the groundbreaking stuff by feeding players information behind the scenes on what their characters might encounter or deduce, while offering all players information on things like cities, quests and dungeons. I also encourage my players to take an active role in the development of the world, allowing them to add whatever constructs they deem necessary for things like histories and goals.

That about sums up the Legends universe. This one would be for a much smaller group with a minimum of two players, and a maximum of around a dozen depending on how long it lasts.
