RPGs

RPGs are the foundation of the worldbuilding and characters in the Gijinkaverse. They are written stories developing the world, it‘s rules and especially the relationships between the characters. We usually start with little planning and surprises for the other one and develop an engaging story together.

Phoenie‘s New Hope
The first story we started in October of 2013! It went on for a long time with many posts (and fillers) so we decided to shorten the story for the summary, only mentioning important parts. It introcuded most basics of the Gijinkaverse and Mega Evolution.

Runtime: October 2013 - May 2017

Genres: Adventure

Themes: Friendship

Silver Rings
The second RPG we started after missing roleplaying characters together. It was a lot shorter than Phoenie‘s New Hope in posts but has a similiar amount of story. It introduced all aspects of slavery and the effects it has on affected Elementals.

Runtime: March 2018 - November 2019

Genres: Drama, Romance

Themes: Marriage + Romantic relationships

Night of the Living Dead
Enjoying roleplaying together and thinking of story pitches we decided to start quickly with new RPGs after the last one ended. With Shadow Pokémon being introduced into Pokémon Go we thought about how it would work in our world and quickly build up a story around it. It introduced more about the Undead and added Galar as a country in this world.

Runtime: November 2019 - September 2020

Genres: Drama, Thriller

Themes: Life and death + Family

Road to Phoenie
The 4th RPG and still ongoing. Similiar to Night of the Living Dead we wanted to use more concepts of the game series and went with Dynamax, building a criminal organization around it, but with one of its members being a main character instead of an antagonist. It introduced dynamaxing and showed life in other countries than Phoenie.

Runtime: September 2020 - Present

Genres: Coming of Age, Thriller, Drama

Themes: Friendship + What it means to be or do „good“

Unnamed RPG
The 5th RPG waiting to be started as soon as Road to Phoenie ends!

Runtime: -

Themes: Family
