So, you've seen this flying around already. But the big question is probably, "What the hell are Major Arcs in a Mega Man setting?!".
Well, unlike Mega Man games, this RP is constantly going on without an end. As such, it's boring to stick to the same old plot I'd throw out for everyone. Major Arcs are events that land some sort of strong impact on the plot, whether it's an event going on for your character during their moment of major development, but it also creates a very large situation in which threatens Abel City or other major areas...or just some evil mastermind wanting to nuke the city and other areas AND might actually pull it off if everyone doesn't work together to stop them. All that good stuff. It could even deal with the plot's major and sworn enemies, the Bio-roids (if they are bad roids). However, we'll have to talk that through. It's still possible to include them though.
Also, a Major Arc just doesn't finish up in one topic. It's all up to the Arc starter on how long it'll be. If you start an approved Major one, always mark your topics with (ARC #). There will only be one Major Arc going on at a time and there will be an approved arcs list so they can be numbered and easily kept track of. Say your arc was the first to ever be approved, all your topics of the arc until it's over should be marked (ARC 1). If your arc was the fifth to be approved, then then it should be marked (ARC 5), and so on. You get it? I hope so.
So I bet you're now wondering, "Where do I start?". That's easy! Simply start a new topic in this section with your arc idea and give the following information in this template below. Then a mod will review it and work with you until it's approved:
Title: (Your arc's name.)
Main Characters: (The characters who will have direct involvement in the arc; NPCs can be included, but it must involve at least one of your own characters. Do not include characters from other players unless you have permission. If you have a Boss Character in mind for this arc, simply state them here, but don't create a profile for them yet.)
Premise: (Describe the basic idea of your arc.)
That's it. It's a small and simple template, so let's make Major Arcs easy, all right? Also, before creating your arc, make sure you see it to the end. If you are leaving the forum for anything that'll keep you away for a long time, notify a mod and allow them to take control of the arc until you get back. This may prolong the arc, but if you don't show up after a very long time, you'll be forced to immediately end the arc with your next topic...and if you fail to come back at all, we'll be forced to end it for you. However, good news. Your characters will be all fine and dandy. Even the boss. You'll just not have that ending you expected when you get back. That's why I said see it to the end and problems like this won't occur.
