@Lugubrious I would, but the problem with Blazermate's character ATM is shes a healing support and might have issues in combat 1v1 right now. At least until she gets her kindred spirits. Unless she heals Fawful to get him into the group or something xD.

Gonna play it safe here and put this down in case anyone isn't into hella dark imagery. I suggest reading it if you're sensitive to the topic of suicide, because I don't want anyone having to dredge up any bad memories because I wanted to include a character from a dark game. There are workarounds that can be made in advance so nobody gets hurt reading my posts, which is the last thing I want. I'm more than happy to make changes to my posts or the character's summoning technique in question if it's too much for some people, as I don't want anyone to have an uncomfortable time with this RP. That said, again please read this if you're uncomfortable with the subject of suicide, and preferably with an open mind to the game's subject matter and presentation.
@Lugubrious I'm not entirely sure if you're familiar with Persona 3 as well or not, so please read this over when you get the time, since I don't want any conflicts of interest to happen either.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Persona 3, or the Persona series in general, it can tend to be pretty messed up when it comes to the themes it presents. However Persona 3 is often regarded as the second darkest in the series, and the darkest of the popular persona games, because the theme of death is central to the game's identity. And I don't just mean it's dark here and there, the themes are interwoven into the characters actions, as well as how they summon their persona, a manifestation of the psyche given physical form. In persona 3, personas gain physical form through extreme stress and trauma, as well as an acceptance of death in spite of that trauma, and are summoned using an Evoker.
If you've read over my application fully you might have an idea where I'm going with this.
In order to simulate the extreme stress and trauma of dying, the Evokers look like pistols, and summoning your persona with an Evoker requires the user to put the Evoker to their head and pull the trigger. Of course, me being an idiot, I didn't think this through when making the character and only came to realise after the fact that not everybody is a little edgelord like me and has had the same experiences as I. Personally I like the idea, it's a creative way to express the themes of the game as a whole and weave it into one of the big choices you can make during battle. But not everyone would agree, and that's OK, which is what this post is for.
Persona 3 also has a couple notable character deaths, a few of these happening as a result of firearms. Should it ever be brought up in the RP for whatever reason (Minako's weakness), I might write it a tad viscerally, basing it off of how Minako felt when experiencing those deaths for the first time. People also have pretty bad experiences with guns, namely you Americans, which is incredibly unfortunate and I hope it hasn't happened to anyone here. But if it has, I need to know. Same with the suicide references, I need to know if this bothers people, or even if you guys think it would be a smart idea to put the more sensitive content in a hider. In fact, that was my first suggestion: to put my more sensitive content behind hiders with appropriate warnings, so those who don't want to read it simply don't have to. Those that do can choose to do so, so it's a win-win.
The alternative is to keep these things to a minimum and change the way Minako summons her persona. Which I can do if necessary, as I won't disagree with the GM's decision. A sprinkle more amnesia would do wonders to help her forget those gun deaths too, which would mean nobody would have to worry about annoying hiders. BUT, this also means her character will have to be rewritten, which isn't a huge undertaking, especially so early, but it will need to be done. Which is why I realised I needed to say this all now before I got into anything too personality-rich for Minako, because that would require rewriting posts, which can be a lot harder.
But yeah, that's basically the gist of it. If anyone has a problem with this kind of stuff and would like me to hide it behind hiders, I can do that! It'd be preferable for me if hiders were used over rewriting aspects of her character, but if it's necessary I can also do that to make sure nobody has to worry about their escapist hobbies dredging up bad memories. Again, I want everyone to be able to have fun with this RP, and I definitely don't want to be the cause of a bad time. If everyone's cool with it though, then sweet! If not, lets talk about what I can do to accommodate you.
Sorry for the long post, and thank you for reading. I just felt it was important enough to warrant a warning.

I personally have no problems with this, but I understand if measures need to be taken to avoid exposing others to themes they wouldn't want to. If nobody approaches you within another week or so, I would conclude that nobody harbors such concerns.
How would you guys feel about Roadhog (Overwatch) joining?
A completely legitimate pick. Feel free to apply for the last spot with him if you so choose.

@Delta44 Like Amsterdam, I don't mind the topic of death and suicide brought up - so as long as it's accurate, handled carefully, and brings a unique taste to the table. I may not bear witness to serious suicide myself, but I knew an ex who walked on that edge.
While I'll admit that I've never been tempted to do said suicide (although I do occasionally have depression spikes here and there), I still appreciate you asking everyone before going along with the idea.
However, judging from what you said and mentioned, I trust that you'll be able to do that whole theme justice. If any problems awake, people will surely let you know.

@Lmpkio@Old Amsterdam
Thank you both for your responses. To reiterate (because I did a poor job of mentioning it in that post), the only thing relating to the first issue is through the summoning of personas. Weirdly enough, the topic itself largely doesn't exist outside of certain parts of the games and movies, and from memory, none of the main characters go through with it. I recall a minor character in the beginning of the first movie who does (hit by train), however seeing as it happens in the first minute or two, I'd say it acts more as a tone-setter and reference to grief and moving on (as it uses the train for symbolism, which many persona games/shows do), while simultaneously introducing the casual movie-goer to the final stages of Apathy Syndrome.
I'll do my best to give the first summoning (almost always the most unnerving) as much respect and due care as I can. If that turns out fine with everyone, then it shouldn't be a problem later down the line, since it's the most detailed one. Keep in mind there isn't any graphic material or even a gunshot when the Evoker is used, either, so that won't be an issue, I think. But yeah, I'm sorry if it makes anyone uncomfortable when it comes about, but the first summoning of a persona is always the most intense. After that I can write things far more simplistically, once Minako's state of mind has changed. It'll be less "this could kill me" and more "I'll summon my persona", which is how the games and movies handle it as well. Which, I just realised, might be a reference to dealing with grief.
Also I'm not sure if you guys can tell but I don't like Persona 3 that much. It's only my favourite persona game and one of my favourite pieces of media I've ever consumed, that's all!

So uh - just finished that Samus Profile - all I need to do now is wait for the opportunity to engage her in the RP and so forth...
(I'm just posting it here for the fun of it - not for official review - just as a fun/plan that I have in mind for her starting out once/if/hope I get to play as her)
Name:
Samus Aran
Game Origin:
Metroid (1986)
Personality:
Beyond her visible persona as a ruthlessly badass and cunning "take names and kick-ass" bounty hunter, Samus Aran is a far more complicated individual than many would have you believe. She is typically seen more formally as a melancholic and heroic loner of few words, despite the grandness of her achievements. She remains lonely and brooding - who seeks revenge against the Space Pirates, especially Ridley, who is personally responsible for the death of her parents. Despite her traumatic experiences as a child, Samus continues to push onwards with extreme courage and perseverance against any and all odds who stand against her.
In addition, she shows compassion towards the innocent and vulnerable - with one notable example being how she spared the last baby metroid, after recalling her three-year-old self when Ridley killed her entire colony.
Background:
Samus Aran's life started on the the mining colony of K-2L with her parents, Rodney Aran and Virginia Aran. When she was three, her hometown was visited by the Chozo, a bird-like race, who were in need of Afloraltite, which was mined on K-2L by the Federation colonists there. They came in peace, and Samus immediately found a kindred spirit in a Chozo elder named Old Bird, who taught Samus that befriending and understanding others can be used to solve problems. Unfortunately for the Chozo, their access to the mineral was denied and they were forced to leave.
Unfortunately, a Space Pirate flagship lead by the infamous space-dragon Ridley, was following the Chozo, hoping for a chance to steal any Afloraltite the Chozo might discover. He'd then lay a raid on the innocent colony and decimated everyone there, including Samus' mother, who Samus had to witness first hand after trying to befriend the beast. Her father, meanwhile, infiltrated the Space Pirates' vessel and ignited the Afloraltiite they had stolen, thus sacrificing himself and destroying all of the Space Pirates. Ridley was severely wounded, but he survived - leaving Samus as the only survivor of the raid.
Fortunately for her, the Chozo had detected the distress signal the colony put out and rushed back to assess the damage. They would find the orphaned Samus Aran and promptly took her to their home planet, Zebes. However, they then predicted that Samus's frail body could not withstand harsh life in Zebes and promptly proceeded to integrate Chozo DNA with hers and equipping her with the Power Suit so that she could survive on the planet. They also knew her burning vengeance against the vile space pirates, thus inspiring them to turn her into a warrior of peace.
After many years of intense training on Zebes, Samus left the chozo and temporarily worked for the Federation Police for another few years. After, she'd silently abandon her post, due to the tight authoritarian structure and several events of having to issue "questionable orders". She would only resurface several years later, becoming universally renowned as a Bounty Hunter by hunting down numerous Space Pirates singlehandedly. In fact, so much of her life during this time was shrouded in mystery that the public believed her to be a male cyborg, not the same woman who graduated first in her class at the GF Police.
Samus would occasionally be summoned by Galactic Federation to do several jobs for them for money - which include: destroying the metroid species, destroying the organic-supercomputer Mother Brain "twice" (who also happened to have been created by the Chozo), intercepting various distress signals, tracking down missing units, and others of the like. However, one event she had always participated since its inception was the great "Super Smash Bros." competition - a fighting tournament that pitted some of the multiverse's greatest fighters against one another. The armored warrior had participated in all four of these events and had gotten 2nd place in the second tournament - the closest she ever got to winning.
Yet it would be during the most recent event where everything she knew would be turned upside down.
Summoned onto the "Great Cliff" she amongst roughly 80 other combatants bore witness to the arrival of the Lord of Light, Galeem, and his army of master hands. It would then proceed to eliminate all of the fighters with its beams of light - with Samus, despite fighting admirably, being one of the very first to become vaporized into oblivion. Her spirit would then be consumed and reformed to serve Galeem in its glorious conquest to reform the world in its own image.

Edit: Also her history just prior to being vaporized by Galeem was originally going to be different. Basically she and a Federation Fleet would've engaged Ridley's fleet in a Star Wars-esque battle, with Samus barging into the Capital Ship to defeat Ridley. Was going to have a convo between them regarding the morality of each other's actions (think RDR1 with Marston and Van Der Linde) and then just before Samus kills him, the light-ray of death comes in and vaporizes them both.

Specialty:
All-Range Defender
Level:
1
Experience:
0/10
Powers:
- Missiles: Fires a missile that can hone in on the opponent. She can also fire a super missile for more damage, however it's in limited supply. She can earn back missiles by defeating enemies.
Strengths:
- Armor: Samus' Varia suit adds a major barrier of defense against the opponent. It can withstand intense amounts of stress from the enemy, protecting against significant physical and projectile damage.
- Heat/Cold Protection: Samus' Varia suit protects her from intense environmental damage. This includes intense heat and cold temperatures respectively.
- Agility: Despite it's clunky look, Samus can still perform incredible maneuvers within her power suit. She can leap twice in the air, produce acrobatic stunts in the air, and can transform into her morph ball ability.
Weaknesses:
- Electrical Damage: Samus' suit is vulnerable to electrical attacks, as it can potentially short-circuit her suit after extended periods in unexpected surges.
- Water: Samus' current armor makes her incredibly sluggish when underwater. While it can still allow her to still breathe, the friction of the water significantly nerfs her speed to a painful crawl. Only once she acquires her Gravity Suit can she move fluently without delay.
- Lava: While the Varia suit protects her from incredibly hot environments, it does not prevent her from being damaged by boiling lava and anything hotter. Only once she acquires her Gravity Suit can she withstand the incredible heat and swim effortlessly without damage.
Spirits:
- N/A
Kindred Spirits:
- Ridley: Her arch-nemesis - as well as the one who killed her parents - Samus desires for the day when she can finally defeat the Space Pirate leader once and for all.
- Mega-Man: The two had crossed paths briefly in their travels - especially during their last multiversal Smash-a-thon. Both sport an incredible amount of gear and weaponry, as well as two heavy-hitting arm cannons to blast opponents into oblivion.
- Fjorm: The second princess of the Kingdom of Nifl - both she and Samus had suffered heavy tragedies regarding their family members and seek revenge against their enemies. For Samus, it was her parents killed by Ridley and the Space Pirates - for Fjorm, her older sister Gunnthrá and her entire Kingdom were ravaged by the malevolent King Surtr of Múspell.
Inventory:
- Varia Power Suit: Samus' Varia Suit is the classic staple power armor that allows her to do what she does best.
- Homing Missiles: Samus can fire a limited supply of homing missiles from her arm cannon. She can reclaim more by defeating opponents.
- Homing Super Missiles: In very limited supply, super missiles are twice as powerful as regular ones. She can sometimes reclaim more by defeating stronger opponents.
Edit: Also her history just prior to being vaporized by Galeem was originally going to be different. Basically she and a Federation Fleet would've engaged Ridley's fleet in a Star Wars-esque battle, with Samus barging into the Capital Ship to defeat Ridley. Was going to have a convo between them regarding the morality of each other's actions (think RDR1 with Marston and Van Der Linde) and then just before Samus kills him, the light-ray of death comes in and vaporizes them both.

"I'm an one man apocalypse."
Background
Mako Rutledge, leader of the Australian Liberation Front, became increasingly tired towards the government that granted omnics their own land in the Outback. For months, he read reports about how family farms were torn apart because the Omnium, an self-improving automated robotics factory, required more room. Eventually, he came up with a plan to get rid of the omnics and return the Outback to people. With explosions and volunteers, he sent them on a mission to destroy its fusion core. But, nobody knew the unseen consequences for the entire Outback.
The second explosion killed most of the volunteer group that were either trapped inside or escaping the explosion while the radiation spread all over the Outback. Following the explosion, the Australian government deemed the Outback to be irradiated and left thousands of citizens to rot. The remaining survivors of the Australian Liberation Front quickly placed the blame on Rutledge and left him for dead in the ruins of the Omnium. It was the day that Mako died. Wearing a gas mask and riding a homemade chopper, he became a wanderer. His humanity forgotten. His face forever hidden by a gas mask. He forced himself to survive his personal hell as Roadhog, the man that replaced Mako Rutledge.
After wandering for years, he found his purpose as a bounty hunter for the Queen until he was sent to capture Junkrat. Junkrat had something valuable that the Queen wanted and didn't care if Roadhog killed him as long as he got it. However, he was smart (for a Junker) to not have it on him. Shortly after learning about it, Roadhog was ambushed by two other bounty hunters and learned that the Queen betrayed him. He teamed up with Junkrat for the purpose of finding out what made the treasure special and get revenge on the Queen.
It turned out that the treasure was an omnium fusion core and it made them targets for everyone. Eventually, Junkrat and Roadhog were targets for Overwatch and Talon because of the fusion core. But, they were planning on using both of them for their own personal gains. However, it all changed when the whole world was consumed by a light.
Personality
Roadhog is a ruthless killing machine that shows no remorse for his victims and often laughs during his bloodbaths. He doesn't care about people and only looks out for himself. And he doesn't speak because his mask muffles his voice and perfects to get things done right away. But, he never could manage to get rid of his past life. He does care about his partner Junkrat and often tries to protect him from trouble or causing too much trouble. He's quite observant and has a logical mind due to his time as the former leader of ALF. And he honestly wants to do good like his boss, Junkrat (whenever he isn't acting crazy and killing people like its Christmas).
However, Roadhog seems himself as a monster for turning the Outback into a radioactive wasteland and knows that redemption will be difficult to achieve. Even if he honestly wants it.
Specialty
Tank
Powers
Take a Breather - Pulling out a small gas container full of "Hogdrogen," inhaling it restores a portion of his health and grants him fifty percent damage resistance while inhaling. It can be used as a defense buff as a way to survive instances of high damage. However, he isn't able to move and look around normally when taking hogdrogen.
Strengths
Overweight - Roadhog is a big person that has its benefits. With an inhale of his hogdrogen, he is able to act like a shield for characters in danger.
Very Brawly - Thanks to his hogdrogen once more, he can put the pressure on the enemies longer than many other tanks.
Weaknesses
Overweight - The obvious problem with Roadhog's weight is his mobility, making him slower than others, and his size makes him an easy target for his enemies.
Anti-social - Due to living in irradiated Outback, Roadhog has a hard time trusting strangers and his mask makes talking difficult.
Spirits
None
Kindred Spirits
Junkrat - Overwatch - Roadhog's only friend that he made in the Outback. Even know he's crazy and often
comes up with idiotic plans, his heart is the right place and means well for his bodyguard and himself.
Arthur Morgan - Red Dead Redemption 2 - Thought both of them are from completely different universes, they
have a common goal of seeking redemption for their actions. And both of them suffered as the result of their
choices in life.
Ratonhnhaké:ton - Assassin's Creed III - Another person from a different universe, he reflects Roadhog's
past life before the explosion that forever changed him. Both of them care about their communities and want
the best for them against outside (and inside) threats.
Inventory
Scrap Gun - The Scrap Gun is his primary weapon of choice. The primary fire is a shotgun that deals damage close range while the secondary allows him to fight medium range. The secondary launches a projectile which, after traveling a short distance, explodes and shoots out a cone of pellets.
Chain Hook - A chain hook that Roadhog carries and often uses it during combat.
Level One - 0/10 XP

For some reason I'm having second thoughts about playing Death. Not sure if it's allowed but I kinda want to get him killed so I can play a different character.

Well, it's been a fantastic first week for World of Light! Thank you all so much for giving this RP such a great start. Hopefully it'll be the first of many such weeks to come.
With the Master of Masters' breakdown given, anyone with the know-how can now engage with the Spirits system. Power up and customize your character as you see fit, but be discerning; not all spirits are created equal, and every power comes at a price.
Looks good to me. Stoic characters that don't talk or interact much can be difficult to continue playing as, but if you're confident you can keep him going you can post him in the Characters tab. I'll start thinking about how to get him integrated.
That'd be a shame. If you're not quite aware of the reason I would consider the matter more thoroughly, but if you do decide you can't continue as him, he won't get killed; he'll just leave the group and go his own way, maybe to be met again later on. After all, he's one of the original thirteen, which carries some significance.

"I'm an one man apocalypse."
Background
Mako Rutledge, leader of the Australian Liberation Front, became increasingly tired towards the government that granted omnics their own land in the Outback. For months, he read reports about how family farms were torn apart because the Omnium, an self-improving automated robotics factory, required more room. Eventually, he came up with a plan to get rid of the omnics and return the Outback to people. With explosions and volunteers, he sent them on a mission to destroy its fusion core. But, nobody knew the unseen consequences for the entire Outback.
The second explosion killed most of the volunteer group that were either trapped inside or escaping the explosion while the radiation spread all over the Outback. Following the explosion, the Australian government deemed the Outback to be irradiated and left thousands of citizens to rot. The remaining survivors of the Australian Liberation Front quickly placed the blame on Rutledge and left him for dead in the ruins of the Omnium. It was the day that Mako died. Wearing a gas mask and riding a homemade chopper, he became a wanderer. His humanity forgotten. His face forever hidden by a gas mask. He forced himself to survive his personal hell as Roadhog, the man that replaced Mako Rutledge.
After wandering for years, he found his purpose as a bounty hunter for the Queen until he was sent to capture Junkrat. Junkrat had something valuable that the Queen wanted and didn't care if Roadhog killed him as long as he got it. However, he was smart (for a Junker) to not have it on him. Shortly after learning about it, Roadhog was ambushed by two other bounty hunters and learned that the Queen betrayed him. He teamed up with Junkrat for the purpose of finding out what made the treasure special and get revenge on the Queen.
It turned out that the treasure was an omnium fusion core and it made them targets for everyone. Eventually, Junkrat and Roadhog were targets for Overwatch and Talon because of the fusion core. But, they were planning on using both of them for their own personal gains. However, it all changed when the whole world was consumed by a light.
Personality
Roadhog is a ruthless killing machine that shows no remorse for his victims and often laughs during his bloodbaths. He doesn't care about people and only looks out for himself. And he doesn't speak because his mask muffles his voice and perfects to get things done right away. But, he never could manage to get rid of his past life. He does care about his partner Junkrat and often tries to protect him from trouble or causing too much trouble. He's quite observant and has a logical mind due to his time as the former leader of ALF. And he honestly wants to do good like his boss, Junkrat (whenever he isn't acting crazy and killing people like its Christmas).
However, Roadhog seems himself as a monster for turning the Outback into a radioactive wasteland and knows that redemption will be difficult to achieve. Even if he honestly wants it.

@Star Lord Ah Roadhog, one of the best OW characters. With all these tanks, I don't think it'll be easy to damage Blazermate. And everyone knows what happens if you don't focus the medic... xD.

Probably goes without saying, but the reason I haven’t posted in a few days is because of all the Christmas events going on and family time. I know it’s not a problem but I still wanted to inform everyone.

I think Ratchet and Din should help take out the goblin minelayers, since if we can get that sweet route-completion exp, it will help Ratchet and Din catch up experience-wise with the others, since they woke up a bit later than everyone else.

I should probably ask this before bowser gets to hoovering up souls for striker army perposes: Does anyone actually want any of em for anything? It seems unlikely but i thought I should ask just incase.

I should have made it clear earlier, but so you know, there's a limit on how many strikers you can have; the number is equal to your character's level. As such, you cannot have an immense mob of strikers, forcing characters to be selective about who they choose and keep as strikers.

Linkle ain't gonna eat any of his boys, she's more likely to just shove them into him.
@Lugubrious
So to get that horde of chickens I've been dreaming of I'd have to fill every available striker slot with chickens?

@Lugubrious

Not necessarily. There are three possibilities I can think of already.
First off, there are certain characters that are known for being in groups, as duos, or trios. An example is Techies; if they're defeated, there won't be three spirits -one for each goblin- but one spirit with all three inside. This is the case for spirits in the game, too; Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are a single spirit. So, you could just get a spirit that's ten cuccos all together. Of course, it'd be a really tough fight.
Second, Linkle could just get one cucco as a striker. Since the cucco's defining ability is summoning more when it's attacked, it can be reasoned that doing so is simply its power, and it can bring out a bunch more cuccos for a limited time, thus getting your horde while only occupying one slot.
Third, she could just absorb one's spirit and take the cucco's power, gaining the ability to summon cuccos when attacked herself.

Once Linkle has her cuccos, it’s game over man. The only defense against them is to ride Epona, and they’re unkillable. Game over man, GAME OVER!
