After having a bit of chat with MidnightSunArt, owner of the One-Piece-Role-Play group that I take part in, I've been considering creating an RP group for the Aozora's Adventure series (as obscure and unknown as I consider it) for role-players to be able to explore my universe and some of it's inhabitants more in depth.
The goal would be to expand out the universe of Aozora and see other stories featuring characters unknown to the main cast having their own adventures with their friends and fighting their own batch of rivals and adversaries. It'd also help describe new locations and maybe some new fractions.
These would be some sample rules/guidelines about the hypothetical group.
*Because of the series' "Anything Goes" feel, you are allowed to create almost any type of character you desire as long as their designs are primarily PG13. Fanservicey characters of both genders are fully permitted as long as the character doesn't employ highly sexual overtones or fetishes.
*You are allowed to create up to three characters in the group, as long as they all play a role within the group's interactions with one another. They can be any balance of heroic to mischievous.
*Your characters are allowed to start with all their tools, weapons, or powers, or gain them gradually through participation.
*Your character(s) should not be stupid OP (like, god-tier) or too much like an existing character, from the Aozora's Adventure series or otherwise. Your character can share some resemblance design and/or ability-wise with a character outside the Aozora's Adventure series, as long as they are not a 1:1 replica or are edited from another character; they will be acceptable.
*Likewise, give your characters some weaknesses along with showing off their strengths and show your character losing some of their battles during the course of their RP's- it'd lead into some interesting character development over the course of the character's respective stories.
The RP's system would contain stats where experience gained from writing stories, posting RP sessions with other members, or submitting artwork can be used to increase these stats. The stats would help give others hints on how well a character can perform in certain departments. The stats would be Health, Attack/Strength, Defense/Durability, Intelligence, Speed/Dexterity, Magic ability (does not apply if the character cannot use magic or some type of superpower), and Weapon Skill.
Currently I don't have plans to start the group anytime soon and want to consult some others for advice on how to run one with the best instincts and little trouble, along with setting up the forms new members would have to fill out.

SJB: Twelve Years Later
Boy, time does fly when you go on hiatus from art, huh? Anyways hello people of DeviantART. I wouldn't have ever imagined myself in this position but here we are. I've been using this site since 2009 and two site re-designs later many of my friends and artists that I've supported from the first few years of being on this site have either vanished into radio silence, relocated to other sites, or moved onto other, better things (or so I hope). It's honestly saddening seeing this place as a shell of its former self because the site's higher ups don't believe in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", or because they lost interest in making art. And I'll admit I'm one of those people. While there were some years where I was more generally active (Pre-2013, 2014, and 2017), other years were either posts of minor projects or WIP's and nothing really substantial. I think the whole trying to build internet cred through DeviantArt and having most of your motivation fueled by said cred, along with
Developing More Characters
Hey there. Since I got the thought of getting more characters from my endless selection of ideas developed I decided to update the character design inspiration document some more: Yup, I had to give this a bit of an overhaul since an attempt to reach out onto Twitter in the form of a tweet ended up going completely south when it attracted what felt like the wrong audience for the job. Thus I added some more details to make it more clear on what kind of content I'm looking for in character designs, art style and all. Hopefully it doesn't come off as too mean-spirited, I don't mean to brush aside so many artists but for new designs made from scratch using provided references I'd rather them closely replicate sort of what I can make, give or take a few.
A year later
Well it's 2021 and I'm still away from this site doing other things for the most part. You may recall if you've been to some of my other sites including my blog that I had a major hard drive failure on my Mac in September 2020. It completely wiped all my WIP's and it took me six months to get a replacement computer as well as a few more months to get some of the programs I commonly used. Currently the priority still lies in my Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart racers and many of them have a long ways to go so I don't feel "ready" to go back to doing standard art just yet, and even then the pandemic has been a huge de-motivator. That said I still want to start on something later in the year and my mind has been tossed between two different groups of characters since I never did any modern art of anyone in either group. There's also a few other characters I've had on the mind and wouldn't mind drawing "just for fun" even if they don't lack the highly detailed and fleshed out backstories or
Time to try and boost that roster count.
Yeah it's that time of the year again. Got some cash on hand, going to see if anyone on the internet is interested in working with me and my ideas.
