Hi Everyone! This is Thelostandnotfound from tumblr and I am running and attempting to create a FanPro RPG. This could be an easier way to set things up, and show ideas and get quick feedback from people who are interested in helping and creating things for this project. The blog for the project is here
I plan on updating stuff here along with the blog. If you have any ideas or suggestions for story ideas or Would like to submit pixels would be gladly accepted here
Thanks for your time! |

While I'm never one to actively try and burst people's bubbles, I think imma actively try and burst your bubble. My deepest apologies.
I like the idea, and honestly think this is something the fandom needs to eventually have, I think it might be a bit too soon. We've been a thing for all of a week, and while there are a lot of designs floating around, headcanons aren't as widespread or diverse. If we make an rpg, we'd have to decide on which headcanon is the RPGcanon, and newbies would mistake that for THE canon even though there isn't one.
Unless you made it a pokemon-style game where players had to go out and collect all the Fanpros for one reason or another.

Well My idea is to just let the fandom Mature a bit. Im not diving in head first.
I plan on getting a bunch of RPG like art and other story ideas together then, when the fandom is ready (Perhaps after the summer), Ill begin working on the game.
I have a single idea but i know that's not gonna take off until the fandom is all agreed upon everyone's headcanons. Which is why Im asking for Art and other Ideas, Once we get enough ideas ill make a vote to see which idea ill progress with.
Like most games, things just dont happen overnight. With the fandom creating the character development i can focus more on the story aspect.

personally, i feel that this might be a good idea, but because the whole idea behind fanpro is that there is no canon, i feel it might be a clusterfuck to do. everyone has their different headcanons, and some people are more defensive about it than others. on top of that, deciding a "canon" for the rpg would probably cause some hurt feelings somewhere, as well as go against the original idea of fanpro to begin with. ultimately, i feel it might not be a good idea to go down the route of either letting people decide the headcanon (SOMEONE is gonna make a fuss about it) or even create a game based off of a predetermined canon. it seems too stressful, and it might be a better idea to just go through with an idea that doesn't involve preset canons for each character.
also, you'll have plenty of time to think about this. give the fandom a couple of months at the very least before you even think about proposing the idea, yo. we'll need those months for character designs and for the fandom to cultivate like never before.

I think this is not a problem. Where's the point of fanpro if you can't make your own thing with your own headcanons? Fanpro is a base of creation. The thing with no canon is that everything is canon, in each parallel universe that is the imagination of everyone of us. I don't think there will be hurt feelings. The game isn't saying that it is the absolute canon, it's only canon in the game. And how do you expect to do something if you don't choose a personality for a character anyway? This isn't supposed to be the ONLY RPG game based on Fanpro.
Of course, the idea of the player choosing the headcanons for the character is a good idea, kinda like the games Choice Of, but it shouldn't get in the way of the pleasure of playing.

i understand creating things is good and all, but since i'm in the fandoms with the loudest and angriest lot of people who refuse to believe that anything other than their line of thinking could be possibly considered, it's kind of hard to believe everyone will agree on a specific headcanon to make canon for this rpg. some people just ARE defensive about their canons, regardless of how things are right now, and there are so many diverse headcanons out there for fanpro that i just... feel it's a bad idea to go down this particular route for an rpg.

Well, I'm sorry but I think that people who are THAT defensive with their headcanons are jerks. I just can't understand. If they are not happy with it they can do their own thing. I don't say all people will like it, but I think it's pointless to argue over headcanon because it is a damn headcanon. The most important thing for the RPG is to choose headcanon to built a coherent universe and that's it.
