'''Death. It's inevitable, even for roleplay characters. There would be three ways that a player could die. First, they could be killed by another player, which would only knock them out. The second is that they could be killed by a Heartless, which, would, in turn, make the player into a Heartless. The player could only be returned to their former self by being slain by a Keyblade weilder. BUT, based on the strength of their Heart, they would become differnt levels of (Pureblood) Heartless, and they could drag other players into darkness. The third and final method is to be consumed by darkness, again. BUT, if they were powerful enough, they could choose between being a Heartless or a Nobody. In order to return to humanity, the Heartless would have to destroy the Nobody and then die, or the Nobody would have to destroy the Heartless and then be destroyed. In addition, if the player was extremely high level, they could become a humanoid Nobody, like Organization XIII. They would retain all of their weapons and abilities, and would return to humanity the same way as lower level Nobodies. At the same time, however, they could join or create an Organziation, and try to raise their "Heart Count", or number of Hearts needed to create their own world, which, if achieved, could hold new quests ande new Heartless, as players able to achieve this ultimate feat could easily design excellent quests.'''}} | '''Death.

Absolutely not on the wiki. | |||
Time and time again, the purpose of this wiki's existence is forgotten and cast aside like some kind of pointless definition. Newsflash, people, it's not. Our purpose defines this wiki and what we strive to create and work toward. This wiki isn't one designed for chatting, random discussion, fanart, fanfiction, and ''certainly not roleplaying''. This wiki is an encyclopedia. When you open up a standard encyclopedia you would find on a shelf in your classroom or library, do you find advertisements for contests or arbitrary fictional works? No, you don't. That example holds true for the wiki. The ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wiki is an online encyclopedia designed to cover all aspects of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' sphere in great depth and breadth in a clear, easily presentable fashion. Having "roleplaying" on the wiki doesn't help us improve the wiki at all. | |||
While you claim to understand this, it would appear most evident that you do not see this situation in the full scope of the wiki. The sheer fact that you come to the wiki to try to start roleplay out of ''sheer boredom'' is not a good sign; it shows a misunderstanding of what the wiki is, as it is certainly not a playground. You say that such an activity would inspire ''editors'' to stick around. Umm, no. Not at all. I don't even think the Mirage Arena has attracted a plethora of new users. What we'll attract is a ton of WikiPrincesses who will shun editing, encourage activities that do not help the wiki grow, and ultimately, editing will be undermined by roleplayers. These roleplayers sticking around doesn't help the wiki either. | |||
Such a plan, therefore, also does not increase team editing efficiency. If anything, it will inhibit it, possibly by quite a significant amount. That's the opposite of good, people. ''Bad''. | |||
We should actually be very grateful that users interested in sharing fanart, roleplaying, and, well, ''WikiPrincessing'' are being attracted to the ''Kingdom Hearts'' Wikia right now. They are finding a wiki that suits their desires more while keeping our community work-oriented. I will oppose ideas that try to break this division considerably, such as this one, negatively affecting both wikis' communities.}} | |||
