@GreatSalmon Your king is accepted. Though for some reason I was thinking you were gonna spring for Kuzco, the greatest Disney princess ever. Though that might have been due to my friends joking around. XD

@Dead Cruiser: Okay, I haven't looked into the bio too in-depth yet and GS can't post at the moment(though I'm talking it over with her), but from skimming through I immediately noticed he can apparently use mind control with no real way for anyone to defend from it.

@ToadRopes DK is in provided he doesn't punch moons.

@Billsomething Alright.

@Dead Cruiser Gonna say no to Sobek since he might not exist and has no canon appearance, personality, or abilities. Also because he's a god-like being, which I explicitly said not to spring for as per my first post as well.

((I know the GM already spoke on it, but I was like, almost done with this when I saw their post, and I need to express my view on this topic! You gotta let me! You gotta gotta GOTTA!))

Being a crossover guy for a long while, I'm always a bit indifferent about godlike characters. I know its not really my place to put input, as I'm not in charge of the roleplay and stuff, but I've had an opinion on this for a long time now. In my opinion, gods can be a very strangely played. I was never a fan of the setup where a god is just "holding back his power", and hanging around with people cus' fuck it n' stuff I'm a god and I'm cool like that and here I created a pony from thin air. I think it limits how much fun you can have with a character when you can't use them to their full potential. Usually, when I want to play a godlike character, I want them to blow up shit and turn people into flan. That's just my opinion though. It's irrelevant to our good ol' buddy Sobek here, and I am by no means claiming that wanting to play the crocodile god is wrong.

My concern is the character's effect on the rest of the roleplay. Because, depending on the god's alignment, he/she can completely take control of the story. If they're leaning towards evil guy territory, than they are most likely going to adopt that role. And I think when we give a player other than the GM the power to do this, to take over the events occurring in this world, I think the roleplay will take on a different atmosphere than what was originally planned. And I'm not claiming that we shouldn't have the players steering along the roleplay, hell, I love it when that happens. Hell, I'd love there to be a time during this roleplay where Pridemoor get a spotlight (vote for Pridemoor as Mayor folks. Free Pridemoor praising sessions included). It allows for a lot of chemistry with characters to form, and often leads to a lot of ridiculous adventures. Sometimes they can be dramatic, and if they've practically absorbed the entire focus of the roleplay, people not involved in it, or just people in general not having the spotlight, can get really turned off.

And that's my main fear about godlike characters; their power and evil-bad guy-ness will eventually land them into the role of controlling where the roleplay goes, its atmosphere, and especially what the player's characters are supposed to be doing.

Sorry for the lengthy post. Potato.

Well, that was quite a mouth-full XD I might say that the RP is already doomed to head down that route 'in a way' if we even have player controlled villains in the first place since we'll inevitably have to face the, but that's neither here nor there.

I actually imagine what you described is one of the big issues most GMs would have with 'god tier' characters, RP Hijacking, intentional or not. I myself also rather enjoy playing powerful characters, but it's so much more fun to 'blow shit up' responsibly instead of essentially going 'Saints row 4 with cheats turned on' XD

Of course, I also get a kick out of taking unacceptably OP things and squeezing them through a small hole until they fit into the RP without being OP anymore.

Sobek isn't Godlike. He is a God. At least if we're going for Egyptian Mythos. However, we're going for WoD Mythos...

@Dead Cruiser: While he may have been mentioned, the rules state characters must have a canon personality and ability set.

Rules

Being that this is a crossover rp intended for established characters from various media, there a few rules to consider.

1) Permitted characters encompass those from visual media, literature, video games, and other such published franchises. Original Characters are not permitted. Webcomics are considered okay. Customizable characters from video games are okay as long as they have some sort of canon personality and are not just heroic mimes. Mass Effect Shepard and Persona Protagonists work out in this regard while characters who solely exist just for gameplay do not.

2) Obviously, no ghosting, auto-hitting, godmoding, or writing up reactions for other people's characters, both PC and NPC. Also no characters who are above a certain level of ability, such as reality warpers or gods that can shift the continents. Even then, some characters below the level may not be able to be used, mind readers or future foretellers being chief among the no no list. Mind control, hypnotism, and arbitrary debuffs such as petrification or one hit kill poisons are also pretty much taboo.


Please make sure to read the ground rules when making characters, okay? I put them in there for a reason and I see more than a couple being broken already.

Why's that?

@Dead Cruiser I really don't know the meaning of any of the game mechanic statistics you just listed, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

@Sir Screwloose Fawfull has Napoleon complex and Faust (So Far) is the tallest character in this rp
