This is coming along so well, I anticipate its creation.
If I can help in testing or something, I'd be happy to ;)
And on an somewhat unrelated note...

ZZT must be included in the storyline somewhere; he is a reknowned member of the community imo

I'm 100% positive I'll be able to integrate ZZT's legacy into osu!rpg but where specifically is currently up in the air.

There's no real chain of command here so I think it's relatively safe for you to come up with something. Primary problem is trying to keep a good plot hidden until we play it while still explaining enough to give us an idea on what you're doing.

Well the premise as well as a few plot points (twists?) are already out and about made public, so the general idea is there. It's still very easy to add a lot of details into the story to keep the player guessing/anticipating and keep the premise workable. Private IRC channels might be a good place for those interested in writing to collaborate...but so far I think Agent and I are the only people really interested in the core writing? So simply using PMs would be fine. I think it'd be nice to have a sort of "Supervisor" to bounce ideas off of, Sinistro.

Wee! I might be a writer!
Anyway, it's annoying, because I got an email with the KOC map, and I was gonna see if my mac could put it on upppy, then upppy failed.
It wouldn't let me go on.
Anyway, I don't have much else to suggest.
Can't think of anything, but I'll have something.

James pointed out that we need to add AMANTHES THE INVINCIBLE. For those of you unfamiliar with this character, there's a detailed irc log posted in the lol@irc thread. Not sure where, but it was shortly after the new public release that introduced Bancho.

A servant of one of the major enemies that is, for all intents and purposes, invincible.

And our evil (good at that time) Double HarmoniZe Shock was there~

Should I start summarizing all these 4 pages (for characters first) Or I just let it coming first.

And also I suggest to have those other players (newbies, high ranking players that doesnt bother talking, people who register for the sake of getting songs, etc.) to be a NPC for towns if Osu! RPG have any. This includes random people, npc sellers etc.

Amanthes the invincible should be a bonus boss!
It takes a Double HarmoniZe Shock from awp and James to defeat it, but both must use the attack in the same turn!

Yeah. Considerably noteworthy people will play an integral or cameo role, but many others can be the names of things like monsters, towns and equipment I figure.

Though I see a lot of people saying "I'd have ____________ for an attack!", something like 75% of the population probably won't have "attacks". This isn't Chrono Cross; there'd be like 3 main characters and x guest characters.

Also James, yes - the Double HarmoniZe Shock thing would work because awp kind of flip-flops allegiances and James is doing his own thing in the story, so there's no reason they can't team up at some point.

also @ Agent, I have an idea of how AMANTHES THE INVINCIBLE is taken down, but it's spoilers.

I'm cool with not knowing because of spoilers, but I might need to know, because I'm a pending writer.
I love reminding people of that.
Anyway, you could probably take a lot of battles from IRC, but I want some really original battles so osuers won't know, saying that, I would like a lot of "I remember that!" moments, cause those rock.

Doubt Amanthes can be killed with a Double HarmoniZe Shock though...

Agent BA8 Rookbie
Double HarmoniZe Shock could be the last attack then?
Like, when Amanthes is down to a certain amount of HP, awp/James can only use Double HarmoniZe Shock. And the attack animation would have to be really cool, like, Both of them point their fingers at Amanthes and yell "DOUBLE HARMONIZE SHOCK!" And like, all the beats and such come crashing towards him and, boom.
How 'bout it?

Well, what I was thinking was AMANTHES THE INVINCIBLE is a mindless servant under the command of ?????? - when you fight him, it's basically an endurance challenge as he won't die. Since he's invincible. This happens either two or three times in the game, but after the last time it happens, ??????? decides to further illustrate the futility of your efforts by killing AMANTHES him/herself with a single blow. And then you're like "oh fuck".

That's kind of awp's role. He is part of Saturos' army but thinks of himself as a "special case", in that he's an equal, can't be bossed around etc. From awp's perspective, he and the rest of Saturos' army, including Saturos himself, are all in a race to put an end to the heroes, though his motives, - both direct and alterior - are probably going to be subject to ambiguity and also change from time to time.

Running with this idea, awp could join the main party near the end with the following argument: "If I'm going to win this race, I might as well help them (the heroes) out and knock off my competition - we have the same enemies."

I read the whole thread and I've noticed I don't have a role yet.
I think I would be the one of the starting imbalanced, badass characters then suddenly got infected by the virus (gabe?) somewhere in the part of the story. Then obviously leaves the party to stop the main characters (recurring boss too, since I sometimes like to join other people too) then afterwards virus got removed (after getting owned for a few times + blablabla) but decides not to return to the party but to be alone blablabla and I won't finish the role.

dood James you're totally this badass mercenary-ish character that pretty much has no loyalties to anybody. So your idea would work with it.

James could discover he's been infected, but not say anything about it to anyone else and bugger off on his own as a result to try and stop it by himself.

Reikin's Skillset:
MAX! - A limit break level attack that charges up based on how long you can play MAX 3000. Exponentially increased damage from 3 to 3000, displayed as '3!', '30!', 'MAX 300!', 'MAX 3000!'.
Sagisu 72 - A special skill that can be learned once buying EiJi's skillbook. Gives you perfect accuracy for a temporary time.

If you make it for the DS, don't use someone else's shitty engine imo

But the DS is effectively alienating a majority of the osu! community, simply because they don't have flash cards (poor Sinistro ;___;) plus a lot of the DS hardware coding would be a bitch. PC imo

I wonder what the "ultimate weapons/armor" would look like? Maybe we can have that katamari cursor be an ultimate weapon, and the more you kill, the more sticks to the weapon, increasing damage output. Although there has to be an upper limit for that.

Speaking of armor, will the skins change the appearance of the player character, or are they just for show?

It's easy as hell to code. It's just a matter of adding additional sprites to the game - if everyone is the same size and has the same animations you can get away with one spriteset per armour, otherwise you've gotta refit it to each character. Easy to program, though.
