The Legendary He-Man fought alongside the Royal Guard and others as the Masters of the Universe. With his sword of power connected to the Sorceress and mystical Castle Grayskull, eventually the tyrant Skeletor was defeated and banished to another dimension. Prince Adam decided it was time to go abroad and He-Man disappeared. The Masters disbanded as there were no threats the Royal Guard of King Randor couldn't deal with themselves. Buzz Off went back to his people, Stratos went back to Avalon to lead the Birdmen, etc. All seemed to be well, at least for now...



Zodac returned to the planet Eternia, as a shift in the balance has his masters in the Cosmic Enforcers calling him into action. He visited King Randor and was not surprised He-Man had disappeared, however the King knew the Masters had to be reactivated. Recruiting members of the Royal Guard, the Birdmen of Avalon, and others, the new Masters of the Universe had to defend Eternia against the combined forces of Beast Man and his creature kingdom and Merman and his underwater abominations. Things only got worse when Snake Mountain became active again and serpentmen followers of King Hsss began trying to resurrect their leader. With He-Man gone, this could finally be the fall of Eternia...

The Masters of the Universe have had some pretty interesting concepts throughout their different incarnations and you can draw inspiration from any iteration. If you wanna make the spawn of Buzz Off your character have at it, another Birdman perhaps, or make an original with obvious 80's animation influences. You can take fan art of Ram Man that makes him look more like Marvel's Juggernaut and use that as inspiration. You can make Battle Cat a humanoid tiger man evolved from what he was in red armor if you want. Just no He-Man. She Ra would be cool though! If you wanted to be a villain there's also that option you just couldn't use any of the one's mentioned above or somebody like Hordak. Everybody else would be fair game.

Character Sheets MUST include but are not limited to:

Name:
Alias:
Archetype: [Cannon, Inspired by (insert character), or Original]
Age: [Prince Adam would be around thirty-five now, Man At Arms would be closer to fifty, King Randor pushing sixty or so, adjust accordingly...]
Weapon[s] of Choice:
Powers and Abilities: [don't get too nuts here]
Weaknesses:
Personality:
Experience: [How long have you been active, battling threats, surviving the land, been a member of the Royal Guard,etc...]
Appearance: [Even if it's an original, I'm sure you can find a piece of artwork to base the idea on]
BRIEF Bio:
Notes: [anything you might need to add like changes to a cannon, specifics not covered elsewhere, etc..]

Here's a link to some info about the regular Masters of the Universe with lists/links on the right side a little ways down on the page for members and enemies. You'd have to do a specific search for anything from the other variants on the He-Man franchise.

If I can get a group of around 6-8 players I think we may have enough to go on to move forward. However I'm looking for more completed CS's before starting too quickly. You don't have to be a huge He-Man fan to enjoy this. If swords and sorcery with a tad bit of tech involved is your thing, or you're a fan of 80's cartoons, this game is for you!

You can make Battle Cat a humanoid tiger man evolved from what he was in red armor if you want. Just no He-Man.

Name:
Shirker

Alias:
"Battle-man"

Archetype:
Inspired by Battle cat

Age:
15/30 [oldest living tiger in captivity was 26 and Eternia is not a realm that 'old age' is a common cause of death]

Weapon of Choice:
Short-broadsword: A wide blade that is just as often used as a shield to deflect energy blasts. It is purposely styled to resemble the fabled sword in honorific memory as well as a decoy for would be thieves, he actually keeps more than one in his room in case it is ever stolen.

Powers and Abilities:
Feline anatomy: Scent, lowlight vision, 30 foot horizontal jump, ect.
Roar: A powerful call to battle meant to startle or deafen foes temporarily. Often making most cover their ears and strike while they are helpless.
Stealth: The ability to vanish into the foliage is an ancient and racial ability he augments with light distortion fields in his armor.

Weaknesses:
Sloth and gluttony come to mind. In a 24 hour day, he is awake for 8, eats for 3 and sleeps for 13. Often found asleep with food in his mouth. As such he is highly susceptible to sleep and hypnosis magic or bribery of food to an extent.

Personality:
Honor-bound and loyal to a fault. He both lives in the shadow of those from before and seeks to do them justice by his deeds. Food is an important aspect of celebration to him and can often be found in the kitchens making something to eat. He might be the only member of the royal guard WILLING to swap others for KP duty.

Experience:
10 years

Appearance:


BRIEF Bio:
"I am NOT Cringer OR battle cat!" This is something he has had to explain to every person in eternia at least once.
"My people, the Jungers (jungle tigers, jung-gers) are born either anthromorphic or feral, it is merely a genetic difference such as being born a boy or a girl. We are all fully sentient but some of us use the feral appearance to impersonate animals for the tactical advantage. I was born to the same tribe as the fabled Battle-Cat, I have come to honor his name and deeds to save our realm. When the vanished, I felt it was needed that one of us remain present, even if as a symbolic gesture, that our tribe has not abandoned our duties or loyalty to king Randor.
Now, pass the steak, please."

notes: Toying with the idea that he is the actual son of Battle-Cat and the catfolk womanKittrina.

Question - She-Ra Universe based characters acceptable?

Question - She-Ra Universe based characters acceptable?

She Ra would be cool though!
~KL~

I believe so.

@knighthawk And this is what I get for responding to topics at 4 am before coffee, I miss the obvious, LOL

Okay, so reserving the Princess of Power based character. :p See what I can work up.

@knighthawk Can't believe somebody else had the same idea as I had in the early am hours. Looked good as far as I can tell, but I'll admit I've only been awake maybe ten minutes... LOL

~KL~

It's all I can do not to change it up and go with somebody else I've never heard of, the humanoid top Rotar...

~KL~

Anything worked up yet?

It's all I can do not to change it up and go with somebody else I've never heard of, the humanoid top Rotar...

~KL~

My mind HAS been changed. Going with Rotar, former Royal Guardsman turned amputee, rebuilt as a Master of the Universe... somehow even managed to make a micro of how I envisioned him...

~KL~

Bump.

Working on my sheet for Rotar...

~KL~

Okay, just gonna respond to both the pm and mention here.

No, I don't have anything worked up yet. I don't do a CS until an OOC is posted for an RP so I know if there is enough interest generated to warrant the time spent on the CS.

Name: Rotar Li

Alias: Rotar

Archetype: [Cannon]

Age: 30

Weapon[s] of Choice: Battle Ax

Powers and Abilities: The lower half of Rotar's body was turned into a tech'ed out robotic top, capable of spinning at super speeds and drilling through some of the toughest surfaces and elements. He has slightly enhanced strength and durability, as well as Royal Guard training. Presently, Man At Arms has fitted Rotar with a new lower prosthetic capable of transforming into robotic legs.

Weaknesses: While he's experienced he's still fairly new to being a Master, and the lower half of his body can be damaged/destroyed by stronger enemies.

Personality: Compassionate, honest, and brave.

Experience: Here Rotar has roughly five years experience together as both a Royal Guardsman and later as a new Master. There were a few years in between losing his legs and Man At Arms creating his spinner.

Appearance:



BRIEF Bio:

During an attack on the Palace of Eternia Skeletor toppled over a statue that killed two Royal Guardsmen, and to save Rotar Li, Man At Arms had to amputate the soldier's legs. The broken soldier was upset for quite some time until Man At Arms created a top-like prosthetic that could put his friend back on the front lines. Since becoming a Master, Rotar has proved to be a valuable ally to both He-Man and King Randor.

Upon Zodac's return, Rotar was one of the first to heed his call when the cosmic enforcer was recruiting a new team of champions.

Notes: Not sure how much this differs from the cannon other than this is set during a point where Prince Adam has went abroad and before he grows into becoming 'King He-Man.' Skeletor was defeated roughly ten years ago, Adam probably left Eternia two years ago himself.

@knighthawk Saw some customs for Battlecat Man and had to post this one... I've seen some crazy stuff since I started researching more. Apparently there's now the living embodiment of Castle Grayskull called... Castle Grayskull Man...



And if anybody is interested, go to Google Images and type 'Gbagok [insert character name]' for some of the best art/fan bios I've seen awhile. Even the more minor characters are well done. Like this one for Grayskull Man....



~KL~

Anybody else up for this one? I'm also trying to get one that's stat based going in the Tabletop section...

~KL~

With drawing my interest. After flipping your current Rps, it seems you are having a hard enough time keeping up... so I don't want to join another Rp that may end up being neglected. Sorry.
