We discovered that in the far reaches of space exists a highly advanced galactic community of aliens of all shapes and sizes. This society has become so advanced that mundane crime is all but extinct. But to take its place, strange new criminals have arisen with bizarre new forms of crime! Chief among these ne'er-do-wells is the Cosmic Ring of Intergalactic Masterminds and Evildoers, otherwise known as C.R.I.M.E.! Led by a criminal mastermind known only as The Big Brain, C.R.I.M.E. seeks to rule the underworld of the cosmos! To combat the threats faced by galactic civilization, long ago the people of the Milky Way set up an order of lawmen. Led for centuries by the gruff and mysterious Chief Hyperion, these unique individuals from across the stars have come together. Humans and aliens, men and machines! These stalwart champions stand together, dedicated to the highest ideals of justice. Sworn to preserve law and order across the universe, they are... the Galacticops! [b]Their mission: To protect and serve the galaxy![/b] --- Do you remember sitting around on Saturday mornings, watching cartoons designed to sell you toys? Well, Galacticops is a game meant to emulate those halcyon days of youth. An order of spacecops stand against monsters, invaders, and a galaxy-spanning network of organized crime. The idea for this show, and the accompanying toyline, is that a toy company had a bunch of toy licenses they couldn't sell on their own merits. Seeing the success of other toy-based TV shows, they decided to slap all the toylines together in a single universe, writing off the wildly different aesthetics and designs as being aliens from various planets. There's a couple of things to keep in mind regarding tone and such. [list] [*]The game's going to be drenched in optimism, like the cartoons of old. The morality's black and white, there's minimal angst and depression, and there's not going to be a lot of overly dark villain plots. We're not IDW here. [*]Let's be honest. Transformers, GI Joe, He-Man, Silverhawks, these were shows designed to sell toys. When making your character, consider the following question: "If I was a kid, would I buy this action figure?" [*]Keep the power level reasonable for, say, He-Man or COPS. [*]I like spacewizards as much as the next guy, but I'd rather keep everything tech-based. Feel free to have a dude whose tech looks like wizard gear or something though! [/list] --- [hider=Sheet] [list] [*]Real Name: Although naming conventions vary between cartoons, you'd never find one that was totally mundane. Jason Steele, B.P. Vess, Dr. Kranial, it should feel like something from a cheesy 80's cartoon. [*]Code Name: The pithy name that goes on the box. [*]Tagline: A catchphrase, or a little line to give an idea of your character's outlook and gimmick. [*]Appearance: What features would make it an action figure that would appeal to the show’s target audience? Kids aren’t going to beg their parents to buy them the toy of a nondescript guy in a business suit, after all. Images are okay too. [*]Toy Blurb: Your personality, your history, and any fun facts about your character. [*]Powers, Skills, Equipment, and Abilities: Please avoid being Johnny Twelvedicks, Master of Reality. [/list] [/hider] [hider=Example: CYBER SHARK] [list] [*]Real Name: Carcer O'Donovan [*]Code Name: Cyber Shark [*]Tagline: "You've bit off more than you can chew!" [*]Appearance: http://img.booru.org/grognard//images/6/b9bf72055927f156e5e383a94dc5e7a14caefcc9.jpg Cyber Shark's toy features different plastics on the cybernetics, with surprisingly detailed surfaces inside the mouth. He's a fairly huge dude, standing at about eight feet tall. [*]Toy Blurb: An aquatic alien hailing from the watery world of Aquarion 6, CYBER SHARK was once an ordinary cop. When it was discovered that a bomb had been attached to the outside of hotel for land dwellers in the city of New Aquapolis, Carcer was quick to react, grabbing the bomb and moving it away from the hotel. However, such a powerful explosive couldn't be left anywhere near the city's sealed environments, leaving him with one option: Swim up and away from the glass structures. The bomb exploded as soon as he was safely away from the area, severely damaging his arms and legs. He woke up in the hospital three days later, with a call from CHIEF HYPERION himself. Carcer's heroism had impressed the Chief so much that he paid for cybernetic limb replacements and offered him a job. Seeing a higher calling, he took them up on the offer and received the codename "Cyber Shark." Now, CYBER SHARK heads up the GALACTICOPS SWAT TEAM. This loose-cannon cop might not have a lot of respect for the rules, but there are few officers you'd rather have watching your back. Fiercely loyal, he is absolutely dedicated to the ideals of the Galacticops. With his AEROGILL, he crosses land and sea to use his CYBERNETIC STRENGTH and SUPRA-VOLVER CONCUSSION CANNON to stop criminals in their tracks. While he loves the freedom an AEROGILL provides, he makes a point of flooding his office so he doesn't have to wear it. He'll eat anything, but he has a particular love for burgers. [*]Powers, Skills, Equipment, and Abilities: [list] [*]AEROGILL: This device, standard for any gilled species, keeps Carcer's gills nice and moist, allowing him to breathe out of water. Of course, he still floods his office for comfort's sake. [*]CYBER ARM AND LEGS: Carcer's cybernetics are top of the line models, meant to be able to build strength and take ridiculous amounts of punishment. They grant him incredible strength and stability, able to lift small cars with a great deal of effort. [*]SUPRA-VOLVER CONCUSSION CANNON: This revolver-styled pistol takes eight shots. It fires specialized nonlethal rounds that knock foes off their feet and stun them. [*]SHARK ACTION: Cyber Shark is a master swimmer who comes with MEGA-BITING ACTION! Lift his right arm and he'll snap his jaws! [/list] [/list] [/hider]
