Well for those of you that either watch it or have seen it once good for you. For the rest od you it is an anime where a wat is brewing between two sides. On one side there are the humans and vampires that are trying to work together to coexist in the world. While on the other side there is an idealistic group of people, mostly vampire, that don't want vampire and humans to ever coexist. I love the concept of the anime and was wondering if someone would like to make a forum losely based on it. It will have its own storyline and stuff like that but basically the same vampire vs guman feel. There will of course be androids as well, but this is all up in the air as to whether this will happen. I myself don't want to vreate the board, but I will definately help with the backstory and be a Moderator or evn a fellow Admin. I am experienced in noth roles but mostly as an Admin. I just want to be part of a forum like that so much, and yet I can't find one. That's why I'm asking if someone would actually like to make one and get some Trinity Blood splattered on the Proboards. If not then I understand completely. Just please post that you will or won't and why. Thank you.

I have to stop you before you get started sadly. I have much experience when it comes to running boards and I can tell you with out a doubt in my mind your board will fail, now the reasons why.
1. It is what we call TOO organized you know? You are either on one side or the other, a human or a vampire. Sure someone could say that they are half Vamp and Half Human.. but lets be honest thats not original now is it?
2. Vampires v. Humans... Cliche and over used as a basis for a board. Hell it is over used in everything, how many vamp thingys can you name? Tons.
Anyway bottom line is, fun to watch, boring to RP do to its lack of freedom and limited character diversity.... OK I'm done. Good luck if you choose to make it anyway.

Good luck if you choose to make it anyway. i second that. there would be humans, vampires, crusniks, and androids, while that may seem decent enough diversification i can almost guarentee that a Trinity Blood board will die in the womb. |

Indeed, Diversity is key after all....
Hell, that's why I made Arcane Academy so open with the ability to create your own magic style.
Diversity is key! ^_^
For my suggestion, I say create a world like Trinity Blood, but still allow plenty of wiggle room for the character. For example, allow them to choose from a standard list of monsters and character types, but give them the chance to do some monster/race creating of their own *As long as it somehow fits into the overall board theme*

Okay I knew that was going to come and noticed even before any of you guys that it wouldn't work and so I'm thinking of a Fullmetal alchemist type board. Now you can't say that this doesn't have diversity, and I think I'm gonna change it a lot so that more types of races and things can be used in it. Suggestions on this idea please.  |

Hey man, I love FMA, but i have yet to find a REALLY good FMA board, but what I have found, especially when it comes to anime RPBs, is that people are afraid of expanding on the idea or changing it to fit the feel of a board, because they know the idea is good already, but only when it comes to watching it. As the Designer said, DIVERSITY IS KEY, so I say go for it, but only if you're ready to bend the idea a little bit.
Random Guy: Pff! Like you can talk! What have you had like 10 boards fail?!
Me: Only 5, Actually!
RG: Well how many have you made?
Me: 5...

Good Luck. I think you will find that FMA has much more diversity and options when you write your storyline. Just be sure not to make it, you know.... blah..

Okay so I decided to start the FMA board, but I may need help with certain things. I can come up with the history, but I'd like help with it since I haven't seen all of the episodes or read any of the magna. And I guess I could use some mods that can be on at least three hours a day for the most part. If you're interested please PM me and I will get back to you.
