Hello and welcome to Ginga Denkiteki Omaesan: Silver Fang Legend You.
That's right, GDO is a new age Ginga-based online text post-by-post role-playing game geared toward the creation of completely original, personalized experiences that come together to form a new and never before seen legend about you (or more specifically your character). For those of us familiar with the original Ginga anime and manga series, this forum will be a platform for our own comics, storylines and, if you're so inclined, your own Ginga Legend animated feature. It's a place to tell stories, to show the world what your character can do as they follow in the footsteps of our favorite Ginga heroes and to rewrite the history of legendary dogs of your own creation.
For those of us who have never heard of Ginga, the forum is still a major role-playing hub. I, the administrator, have been role-playing canines since the 5th grade and have ensured that this role-play, though created for Ginga fanatics like myself, is still accessible and enjoyable to those who don't even like anime. The role-play boards are generally original, not focussed on the anime and require no prior knowledge to partake in. The plot is also original and, save a few references to characters and their actions in the past anime series, it too requires no Ginga knowledge to partake in. Moreover, since this forum is intended to be completely original, no canon characters will be popping up to confuse anyone.
This may disappoint some Ginga fans. I know we all want nothing more than to control the actions of our favorite Ginga dogs, to replay Akatora's display of sheer courage and bravery under fire or to take on Hougen through the eyes of the stubborn John or spirited Weed. But the key word used to describe the experiences had here at Ginga Denkiteki Omaesan is 'Original'. This is not a place to write fan fictions or a hub for all sorts of Ginga slash pairings or what have you. You may, of course, discuss those things and there is a place for Alternate Universe role-playing in which you may play a canon character, but for the site's plot and main role-playing experience, all characters are expected to be of your own creation and design.
Don't worry, this forum is run by very creative people who are willing to guide and help you with everything you need, from pictures and graphics to plots and character bios. There is no need to feel intimidated, even if you don't think you're the most creative person on the planet. If there's anything the Ginga series can teach us about ourselves it's that we are capable of doing anything you can put your mind to.
So what do you say? Ready to write your own chapter in the big book of Silver Fang? [ You bet!] [ Maybe later]
