[OOC] World of Light

[Lugubrious]

With an army of Master Hands under its control, Galeem sought to create a new world.

The fighters and their countless stories came to an end as light consumed them.

Thus, the universe was crushed in the hands of Galeem.

Those who fought the light were devoured.

The others lost their bodies and became spirits.

Only one survived.

A star of hope twinkles faintly as the dust settles on a new world.

---

Welcome to the World of Light. An otherwordly entity known as the Lord of Light, Galeem, has annihilated the universe, sending streams of all-consuming light into every game world to wipe the slate clean so that he might build something anew. Only Kirby, borne on a Warp Star while Galeem's attack still picked up speed, escaped.

But the weight of the world is a heavy burden indeed, and his constant fight has left him exhausted. He managed, however, to free a small group of spirits, and split his remaining power into Friend Hearts to revive them. They're a motley crew, hailing from a variety of world and origins, but with Kirby unable to fight any longer, the task of finding and defeating Galeem falls to them.

You're one of these revived spirits. You can be any game character from any game franchise, hero or villain, side-characters of all stripes. You face impossible odds, an adventure across landscapes that span the imagination, an endless series of battles, puzzles, and obstacles, meeting friends and foes familiar and new on the chance that you might reach the Lord of Light and undo all he has wrought.

In essence, this is a massive crossover adventure, with the players deciding where to go and what to do, encountering all sorts game worlds, characters, and items. There will be some RPG elements, with EXP for word count and as rewards, and each level earning you a new ability. Since most characters bring with them a narrative, who you pick and what you do will directly impact the RP's events, so the possibilities are endless.

Important Notes

• All standard roleplaying rules apply. Be excellent to one another.
• Your characters will start off somewhat weak, no matter how strong they were originally, but as you play you'll become stronger and more capable.
• Your character will have to be from a game, but it can be any officially-licensed game, no matter the console or company. This does not include game characters from other media about games, like some Isekai.
• While you start with one character, you will be able to get more (potentially up to 3) if you want. In order to qualify for another character, you must reach level 3 with an existing one, manifest a Friend Heart to free the new one, and then have the original character bond with the newly-freed one.
• While not 18+, there will be some more mature themes going around, and I expect some violence.
• You can make some slight changes to your character, or expound on one that would otherwise be too shallow (following fan interpretations if necessary) but otherwise you should aim to be true to your chosen character. I would suggest against making your character a create-a-character with no canonical traits or characteristics, since while they can be very custom-tailored they tend to be uninteresting and unengaging to play as in an RP. If you choose to anyway, do your best to give it a solid personality and background based on its world
• As you adventure you may come across a Smash Ball or a similar source of power. Instead of having a single, locked-in Final Smash, however, your character will gain a burst of reality-bending power in such a situation, allowing the use of any super-strong attack as the situation demands.
• I plan to make regular posts as the GM, potentially weekly. Since players are making a promise of a commitment by applying to the RP, I'd expect you to post at least weekly, but it's not an absolute. The price for not posting is simply falling behind, which will earn you less EXP.
• You can follow the custom of making your character's speech in color if you want, but it's not at all necessary, and if you do please make sure it's a color that's easy to read. Please do not give your posts elaborate headers; just your character's name and mentions of any players you're interacting with is enough.
• You can change your sheet's Kindred Spirits even after acceptance up until any Spirit on the list is sighted, at which point the list is set in stone.
• Lastly, your decisions matter in this story. Ingenuity and creativity will be rewarded, especially in regards to teamwork, but bad decisions may have disastrous consequences. In fact, it's possible for characters to die if things go poorly enough.

EXP

EXP earned for posting is as follows: <750 words is 1 point, 750-1250 is 2 points, and 1250+ is 3 points.

If it appears that you're over-inflating your word count, either by making too many posts per cycle or by adding unnecessary excess to your posts, to try and gain exp, your rewards will be decreased. Since you're being rewarded for word count both in and out of combat, and after successful encounters according to your contribution, you're going to level pretty quickly anyway, so inflation is really unnecessary.

It would be helpful to me, and therefore you, if you kept track of your word count per post. Here is a site that makes it easy: https://wordcounter.net/. Just paste your text in and it'll rack up your total for you. It would be especially great if you kept track of and managed your own EXP yourself, but I can do it for you at intervals otherwise.

What exactly can you gain from a level-up?
1. A new Power pertaining to your character, something that your character can do in his or her home game but didn't start with here, or something that your character could learn or develop in the home game. Exceptional 'stats' can count as Powers.
1.5. A new Power pertaining to a Spirit. Once a Spirit is bonded with -so long as it doesn't become static equipment- its potential is added to your character's, allowing you to gain abilities belonging to its progression rather than your character's if you choose.
2. A new Strength. Sometimes, a skill is more important than a Power, or is necessary to make proper use of equipment or Powers. One cannot just pick up a brand-new weapon or dynamic ability and be an expert, after all.

EXP Share
A phenomenon that you'll find helpful in a post involving multiple player characters, whether owned by the same player or otherwise. The word count (and thus EXP cashout) from any post involving those characters is attributed to every character involved; if you do a collab with another person and the count is 1300, you both get 3 EXP, and if you have two characters that both star in your 600-word post, both get 2 EXP.

Master Dreams
In the heroes most vulnerable moments, in the depths of sleep and senselessness, he reaches for them--Master Hand. Into the distant realm of fancy seep images delightful or disturbing, for one purpose only: to break down their resolve and make them stop trying, whichever form that takes. Yet perhaps there is meaning to be found in the madness; Master Hand will find no sleeping slaves.
The Deal: A limited time opt-in event involving writing short stories that take place in dreams, canonically to occur when next your selected character sleeps or is otherwise out of it.
The Details: Before the end of the day on the provided deadline, submit a short story of your character's dream that follows the related event prompt. The dream can be of anything, and does not need to be isolated to your own character and/or his or her past experiences. Using elements from multiple games is encouraged, given the nature of this RP. Other players' characters can appear in yours's dream, but while you can consult other players, you'll need to play those characters; they can be distorted by your character's perspectives or by the dream.
The Rewards: For the dream, EXP is rewarded via the following scale, where n is the level of the character that's dreaming:
<1000 words = 3 * n ; 1000-2000 words = 5 * n ; 3000+ words = 9 * n
In addition, certain elements of the dream may bleed over to the real world somehow. These might take the form of items, additional kindred spirits, or other forms yet more mysterious.

Current Event: Halloween
Deadline: October 31st
Prompt: A tale of terror truly befitting the word 'nightmare'

Spirits

In the World of Light, spirits are characters devoured by the light of Galeem. In his new world, they drift about as in a dream in a desperate search for some anchor to cling to in the hopes of restoring their being. While some attached themselves to specific places, many found refuge in puppets created for them by Galeem—'perfected' version of their old forms, husks with skin scorched black by the light and inlaid with brilliant prismatic lines, and bearing eyes that glow red like the setting sun. These puppets inhabit Galeem's world, often broiled in endless conflict, the spirits locked in a violent trance.

If these puppets are defeated, however, the spirits can be freed. Most will disappear to wait for the end in peace, but if a bond can be struck up between one and your character, that spirit's power can be channeled into your character. This will grant your character a new boon, whether a power, a strength, a 'striker', or strong equipment, without having to level, but it will come at a price. Your character will be changed in some way, taking part of the spirit in and being altered physically, mentally, or both. This may include a new weakness, but in the World of Light, you need whatever power you can get, right?

As mentioned above, there are four ways you can choose to incorporate a spirit, each with its own plus and minus of varying severity. In descending order, they are: Power, Strength, Striker, and Equipment. If you have your character bond with a spirit, you can choose which category you want and request something specific, but I'll decide the boon, change, and bane. Rest assured they'll be appropriate and expected to the spirit, though. These changes are permanent, unless you find someone capable of exorcism to undo the bond. The number of spirits you can have is limitless, but the number of strikers you can have is equal to your level, since they demand spiritual power.

Example: Pikachu
1. Power: Pikachu's Electricity - grants potent electrical power. As a result, the host acquires Pikachu's red cheek pouches, ears, and tail, the last of which might manifest as a lightning bolt-shaped ponytail. However, the host is more vulnerable to earth, including mud, tremors, dust, sand, and stone.
2. Strength: Pikachu's Mastery - grants great understanding of electricity, friendship and animals. As a result, the host acquire's Pikachu's black eyes and ears. However, the host is a touch more scatterbrained and carefree.
3. Striker: Pikachu - grants the host the ability to summon Pikachu corporeally. It can interact with or provide support to the host, increasing the host's speed while decreasing defense, or attack until it's exhausted and returns to spirit form.
4. Item: Electric Mouse Flamberge - a golden sword with a bolt-shaped blade and rubbery red orbs in the handle. It boasts innate electrical attack.

Free Spirits
If your character has reached level three, it gains the ability to manifest a Friend Heart (by touching its own heart and then lifting up its arms, at which point a bright pink Friend Heart appears. It can then be tossed or given, and as long as the recipient is weakened somewhat (rather like catching a Pokemon) it will be freed from Galeem's influence. However, making a Friend Heart costs EXP; the cost follows the formula (level - 2). If your character bonds with the freed one, you can choose to play as that character too, increasing your character count up to a maximum of 3. If you wish, you can release characters in your roster to make room for new ones.

Galeem's Influence
The story's progressed to a point where it's important for players to know how Galeem's influence works. It's not control, as one might expect, but instead a sort of brainwashing that mandates certain stipulations. Spirits under Galeem's influence experiences weaker self-control and restrictions, must fully engage anyone who attacks them in combat, and must follow absolutely any commands/programming given to them by a Higher Being, like Master Hand. Otherwise, they act and behave very much like themselves, including speech and nonviolent activities. No amount of persuasion will convince them to switch sides, however; only a Friend Heart or Keyblade can do that. Nobody under the influence has any knowledge to share about Galeem or its workings, either. They're not even self-aware

Fading Spirits
Most things in the World of Light possess a spirit, and that includes even the lowliest beings that one might not expect to have one at all. The spirits of weak monsters and animals will probably give materials (or weak equipment, if any) if broken, but their very weakness makes fusion with them interesting. These weak spirits can be absorbed like any other, but rather than a real fusion they're mostly overwritten by the much stronger spirit, leaving small fundamental changes with few drawbacks. At least 10 would have to be absorbed to achieve an Essence Conversion, a new state of being with comparatively slight changes to one's mental state, and more boons than banes.

• Sparking Spirits - the spirits of machines without wills. Essence Conversion: inorganic machine body, somewhat less emotional mind.
• Rotting Spirits - the spirits of undead. Essence Conversion: 'immortal' unliving body, somewhat less restrained mind.
• See-through Spirits - the spirits of ghosts. Essence Conversion: incorporeal body, somewhat less willful mind.
• Hungry Spirits - the spirits of animals. Essence Conversion: variable high-vitality body, somewhat more wild mind.
• Horned Spirits - the spirits of weak unholy or dark monsters. Essence Conversion: tough demonic body, somewhat more chaotic mind.
• Haloed Spirits - the spirits of weak holy or light monsters. Essence Conversion: protected pure body, somewhat more ordered mind.
• Deep Spirits - the spirits of weak eldritch or water monsters. Essence Conversion: extraordinary aquatic body, somewhat crazed mind.

Items

You'll be running across lots of different items in the World of Light, be it by finding them, making them out of crushed spirits, crafting, opening loot boxes, whatever. There are some distinctions to be made among the types.

• Equipment - whether unique or not, equipment is something that can be worn or weaponized by your character. They provide new avenues of attack, defense, and utility. A primary way to get more power other than risking spirit absorption
• Consumable - non-unique supplies with a variety of uses, with the caveat that they can only be used once or have a set amount of uses before they're depleted. Having the right ones can make a massive difference to how situations turn out.
• Ammunition - whether in a container or by itself, ammunition takes many forms: bullets, entire magazines, energy cells, etc. Weapons that use it tend to be strong or have some sort of edge (usually range) but require ammo to function. Fortunately, ammunition in the world of light offers some perks. No matter how much one has, carrying it is never difficult or cumbersome, and most types display some adaptation to fit weapons of similar types that use them (for instance, sniper ammo being useful for almost all snipers regardless of caliber)
• Loot box - a kind of chest that can be found or earned, but never crafted or made from a spirit. They contain randomized loot, mostly trash like sprays but occasionally good stuff. They are indestructible and require real world money to open (good thing many games take place in the real world!)
• Skin - a special kind of item, neither equipment nor consumable. They are pieces of actual skin, albeit not from anything, with an image tattooed on them. This image is of a character on the roster with a slightly different appearance, usually recolored but occasionally with more drastic changes. Skins can be applied simply by touching it to the skin (or equivalent) or the character it depicts, and will poof the applicant into the depicted appearance. The character can revert back to normal any time by 'peeling' the skin off. Mostly found in loot boxes.
• Alternate Costume - a special kind of equipment recognizable with by its golden sparkling. Putting one on will trigger it, causing it to envelop and adapt to the wearer to make a full costume customized perfectly to fit the wearer. It can be taken off, at which point it will shrink back to its former state, and put on by anyone. Foes can also pull it off, though it takes more force. Only found in loot boxes or from spirits.

The Centurion

Name: Magnumus Agoston
Game Origin: For Honor
Appearance:
Personality: Boisterous, arrogant, and infinitely confident, Magnumus is a proud warrior who fears nothing and loves battle. His ego is as insurmountable as Mount Vesuvius and just as keen to erupt into violent, fiery passion. A cause worth fighting for is a cause worth dying for, and death in glorious battle is a legendary end, indeed. Relentlessly optimistic, as truly there is no outcome in which Magnumus can be defeated. Victory is glorious, and a proud death is the greatest end a warrior can ask for. Honor is everything. Death before dishonor. He believes in order, and strong leadership. Usually Magnumus is the only one strong enough to take up the task, at least in his opinion. That is, of course, except for his military superiors, the Glorious Emperor, and God above.

Background: Magnumus was born into the Southern Empire and essentially trained his whole life to become a Centurion. He believed in the cause, as did his parents and brothers and sister. At 12, he joined the armed forces of the Empire. There was no doubt in his mind that what he was doing was right, that their cause was just, and that his enemies were wrong. He went from water boy, to runner, to light scout, to infantry, finally achieving heavy infantry at the age of 20. Then, he was thrown into the front lines of all battles he was in, quickly becoming a veteran and expert close quarters combatant. His potential was recognized and he was chosen to become a Centurion. For 12 years he served the Emperor in glorious battle, never tasting defeat and slaying many men. Magnumus himself lead the charge into the Jarl Yigandrr's throne room, when suddenly, he was consumed in a terrible light...

Specialty: Damage, tactician, leader, easily the good looks of the group
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10 (The amount of EXP required to level up will double with each level, but rewards get bigger, too)
Powers:

• Imperial Might: Deliver a devastating, partially aflame uppercut to his enemies, knocking them far back and onto the ground.

Strengths:

• Unrelenting: Magnumus is a cardio machine, and can fight for extended periods of time without growing tired.
• Unstoppable: The Centurion is strong, and can crush an unexpecting or weak foe's attempts at defense and continue his offense.
• Unbreakable: His steel armor and steelier resolve allows Magnumus to get back up again and into the fight after recieving damage.
  note: while these are most certainly the terms Magnumus would use to describe himself, they are not literal.

Weaknesses: Magnumus has no ranged capabilities. Despite his near superhuman levels of strength and his newly acquired magic power, he is still just a ultimately just a dude with a sword. Overconfidence can lead him into situations that put him at a disadvantage. Has little defense against ranged attacked save for dodging them or absorbing the hit.
Spirits:

• None, unless you count his fighting spirit.

Kindred Spirits: Yigandrr, courageous and powerful Viking Jarl, was about to engage in an honorable fight to the death with Maximums before he was rudely interrupted. Perhaps these two could put their differences aside and unite under the banner of defending the innocent, and seeking an ultimate battle. Is there any cause greater than saving an entire world's existence?
Inventory: Centurion armor, Gladius (short sword) and Cestus (punching fist!)

@Stekkmen

Your centurion is approved! Feel free to put him in the Charactrs tab. The only changes I might suggest would actually be buffs rather than nerfs. For instance, instead of just having a flaming uppercut (a single move) be his power, you might change it instead to encompass flaming blows in general, giving him a bit more flexibility. You can also add up to two more Kindred Spirits if you like.

Here's my sweet baby doll:

The Star Warrior

---

---

---

Name:
| "♥♪!?" | Geno |

Game Origin:
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (1996)

Personality:
Geno's personality is strongly based on his confidence and attitude. As a warrior/authority figure from Star Road, Geno holds extremely high regards to his home on Star Road and his strong sense of duty and responsibility makes him want to help the citizens of the worlds that he travels too. This includes helping out people in any situation - difficult or easy - and confronting the enemy - even if the enemy is in fact way stronger than him. However, he is also quite amiable and is quick to make friends with many people whom he crosses upon, such as Mario and the nimbus Mallow.

He even worries over the "ownership" of his physical form, and promises to return the body to the home from whence it came once he is finished with his duty.

Background:
Geno didn't start off in the current form that he resides in. He was originally a "Star Being" that lived on Star Road with the other star species and was one of the warriors who protected it. He and the other Stars lived in peace while looking over the Mushroom Kingdom. However, when the vile Smithy launches his attack on Mushroom Kingdom, he sends the giant sword-creature Exor to crash upon Bowser's Castle and use it as their base of operations. Yet as Exor fell from the sky, he shatters the Star Road - sending seven Star Pieces to become scattered throughout Star Road as a result. With the Star Road broken, wishes cannot be granted - something which Smithy also wanted in order to replace said wishes with weapons. Because of this, Geno is sent to retrieve the Star Pieces and restore the power of wishes to the world.

But before Geno could engage Smithy, he had to first find a suitable body to take residence in. On one night, after a long day of searching, he came across an inn and promptly entered it. Upon visiting one room, he saw four dolls lying on the floor - those resembling Mario, Princess Peach, King Bowser, and a strange wooden figure wearing blue clothes. Believing the wooden doll was the most powerful, the star decides to inhabit it and grew to a proportionate size to match the height of the other citizens. He didn't immediately become comfortable with the doll, for he initially had trouble walking, but he soon got the hang of it quickly. He'd soon hear word that the town he was in was under siege by one of Smithy's members, Bowyer, and after hearing where he's hiding from the other minions, Geno proceeded to enter into the Forest Maze in order to challenge him. Upon encountering Bowyer, the doll engaged him in combat, quickly retrieving the star piece that the fiend had taken. Eventually, Mario and Mallow discover upon the two, after hearing from the doll's owner that he claimed to have seen him, and they helped Geno defeat Bowyer.

After defeating Bowyer, Geno realized he needs help recovering the remaining Star Pieces and had decided to join forces with Mario and Mallow. Geno reveals to the two that he is a warrior from Star Road and that he assumes the form of a doll to fight the Smithy Gang. Additionally, he states that wishes can never come true again until all the Star Pieces are recovered. He also reveals his real name, ♥♪!?. However, this is impossible to pronounce, so the star warrior assumes the name of the doll: Geno.

Once he and the others finally destroy Smithy and restore Star Road, Geno proceeds to return to the doll's owner, Gaz, and readies to remove himself from the doll's body. However, the boy told him that he was free to keep him, for as long as he continued being a hero for the Mushroom Kingdom. With that, Geno returned to Star Road in the doll form that he's in and continued to serve as the protector of his world against the forces of evil.

But he wouldn't be ready for the arrival of the Lord of Light himself.

Geno recognized a beam of rainbow energy fast approaching Star Road on one particular day, decades after helping Mario and his friends. He attempted to combat the beam but he would then be shortly dispatched into a little ball as a mere floating spirit. Even as a divine guardian for Star Road, he never had a chance in hell to win against Galeem.

But that would change upon being brought back by another fellow star warrior...

Specialty:
Speedy Attacker

Level:
1

Experience:
0/10

Powers:

• Geno Beam: Charging up his energy, Geno shoots a deadly energy beam at the enemy.

Strengths:

• High Attack Power: As one of the warriors of Star Road, Geno has been blessed with significantly enhanced physical and magical attack power. However, he truly shines regarding his magical projectile weapons that he can fire from his retractable hand cannon on his right arm.
• Incredible Speed: While he lacks in durability, he makes up for it with his incredible speed. Combined with his power of flight, Geno makes himself a very hard target to hit.
• Flight: Geno can fly in the air for a lengthy amount of time before he is forced to land and rest.

Weaknesses:

• Low Durability: Taking the body of a wooden doll, Geno isn't the most durable of fighters. While he can certainly take on a few hits, more powerful hits can easily decapacitate him.
• Fire/Explosion Attacks: Being a doll made of wood, this makes Geno weak against fire and explosion-based attacks.

Spirits:

• N/A

Kindred Spirits:

• Mario: One of the first people he met in his doll form - Geno joined Mario and his growing group in defeating the vile Smithy.
• Samus: While he never met her in person, he has heard many about her travels in space. Plus they both sport super cool hand cannons.
• Monster Hunter: Once took witnesses to a hunter fighting a massive wyvern. He became intrigued about who this person really is.

Inventory:

• Hand Cannon: Located in his right arm, Geno can open a hatch that reveals his hand cannon. It allows for him to fire his beam at the opponent. Can be upgraded.
• Mushroom: Heals 30% of user's health.
• Ice Bomb: Acts like a Freezie - freezes opponents temporarily for several seconds or until the case breaks.

Geno reveals to the two that he is a warrior from Star Road and that he assumes the form of a doll to fight the Smithy Gang. Additionally, he states that wishes can never come true again until all the Star Pieces are recovered. He also reveals his real name, ♥♪!?. However, this is impossible to pronounce, so the star warrior assumes the name of the doll: Geno.

Once he and the others finally destroy Smithy and restore Star Road, Geno proceeds to return to the doll's owner, Gaz, and readies to remove himself from the doll's body. However, the boy told him that he was free to keep him, for as long as he continued being a hero for the Mushroom Kingdom. With that, Geno returned to Star Road in the doll form that he's in and continued to serve as the protector of his world against the forces of evil.

But he wouldn't be ready for the arrival of the Lord of Light himself.

Geno recognized a beam of rainbow energy fast approaching Star Road on one particular day, decades after helping Mario and his friends. He attempted to combat the beam but he would then be shortly dispatched into a little ball as a mere floating spirit. Even as a divine guardian for Star Road, he never had a chance in hell to win against Galeem.

But that would change upon being brought back by another fellow star warrior...

Specialty:
Speedy Attacker

Level:
1

Experience:
0/10

Powers:

• Geno Beam: Charging up his energy, Geno shoots a deadly energy beam at the enemy.

Strengths:

• High Attack Power: As one of the warriors of Star Road, Geno has been blessed with significantly enhanced physical and magical attack power. However, he truly shines regarding his magical projectile weapons that he can fire from his retractable hand cannon on his right arm.
• Incredible Speed: While he lacks in durability, he makes up for it with his incredible speed. Combined with his power of flight, Geno makes himself a very hard target to hit.
• Flight: Geno can fly in the air for a lengthy amount of time before he is forced to land and rest.

Weaknesses:

• Low Durability: Taking the body of a wooden doll, Geno isn't the most durable of fighters. While he can certainly take on a few hits, more powerful hits can easily decapacitate him.
• Fire/Explosion Attacks: Being a doll made of wood, this makes Geno weak against fire and explosion-based attacks.

Spirits:

• N/A

Kindred Spirits:

• Mario: One of the first people he met in his doll form - Geno joined Mario and his growing group in defeating the vile Smithy.
• Mallow: A member of Mario's group - he and Geno developed a close friendship with one another.
• Smithy: Enemy of Geno - shattered Star Road when using the giant sword-creature Exor to take over Bowser's Castle and conquer the Mushroom Kingdom.

Inventory:

• Hand Cannon: Located in his right arm, Geno can open a hatch that reveals his hand cannon. It allows for him to fire his beam at the opponent. Can be upgraded.
• Mushroom: Heals 30% of user's health.
• Ice Bomb: Acts like a Freezie - freezes opponents temporarily for several seconds or until the case breaks.

Also approved!

Given that you mentioned you wanted certain characters if you got the chance to get more, you might consider changing one or two of the kindred spirits, since otherwise there's no guarantee that we'll run into those other characters at all.

@Lugubrious

Honestly, I thought Kindred Spirits mean't like they had to be closely related to him in a sense. But alas two have been changed to fit more of my character niches.

[Lmpkio]

I actually changed all 3 of my spirits:

1). Mario ---> Bowser: - Always love me some Bowser (played as him before). I'm pretty sure we'll meet Mario on the travels so he can be placed aside for later.

2). Mallow ---> Samus: - Also love me some Samus. (Also played as her before)

3). Smithy ---> Monster Hunter: Considering we have a god-damn Rathalos in Ultimate, I would love to recreate that Hunter character I attempted playing in a RP long ago.

[DracoLunaris]

@Lmpkio
sorry to be a bother mate, but you'll need to change your Kindred spirits again because the koopa king has just entered the ring:

Bowser

Game Origin: Super Mario Bros.
Personality:
Brutal, merciless, destructive and cataclysmic, the koopa king is a classic villain through and through. While he might seemingly pull off this evil king image effortlessly it is in fact something of a idealised persona, one that he works hard to live up too. When it comes down to it what really defines Bowser is his ego: He is the greatest villain and nobody else is going to take over the world on his watch. He is going to mary princess peach and woe betide anyone else who tries to kidnap her because that is HIS thing. He is also very overconfident, certain of his own cunning, strength and his eventual assured victory despite his many previous blunders. On the more positive side of things bowser exhibits something of a dry wit, occasional bouts of intelligence and shows a surprising degree of compassion and philanthropy when it comes to his underlings.

Background:
Bowser is the King of the Koopa Kingdom, the perpetual kidnapper of princess peach and the arch nemesis to Mario. Over years and years Bowser and his rival have battled across time and space in what the king sees and an epic duel for the princess’s heart and mario sees mostly as a better gig than plumbing. Intermittently Bowser has acted as a reluctant hero, protecting his world alongside his normally enemies against greater scope villain and usurpers to his throne, and has also occasionally been the unwitting pawn of greater villains such as Cackletta and Tabuu. His latest kidnapping escapade ended with mario gatecrashing his and the unveiling peach's wedding, mind controlling him and then stranding him on the moon all much to his displeasure. Sometime after that the king ended up standing alongside the other smash bros in their initial failed attempt to defeat Galeem, in which he was blasted by the lord of light’s annihilation beam while attempting to battle their foe. Now revided, the koopa king has been given a chance at revenge that he has gladly taken even if it means working alongside a bunch of heros again.

Specialty:Tank/Boss
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers:

• Fire Breathing: Bowser can exhale torrents of fiery breath from his maw, roasting all who are foolish enough to not avoid the rather telegraphed ability.

Strengths:

• Big Bad Boss: Initially about the height of two and a half regular humans, Bowser towers above almost all who oppose him. He might get bigger as we go on.
• Koopa Physiology: In addition to being huge bowser’s toughness is further enhanced by his scaly skin and armored turtle shell, making very hard to take down. His body also has many natural weapons such as sharp fangs, rending claws, spiked horns and a dozen large spikes arrayed across his shell.
• Villinouse Charisma: He might be kind of an idiot and prone to failure but bowser is THE videogame villain and nobody can take that away from him. As a result he will easily impress the kinds of people who view villany as an art simply by being himself which is what, along with a surprisingly benevolent rule, inspires such loyalty from his minions.

Weaknesses:

• Incompetent: He should really read the Evil Overlord List because at this point bowser has been foiled by his own ineptitude in almost every conceivable way. He is also kind of an idiot and the only thing bigger than bowser himself is the king’s ego, a pair of traits which can often make for a disastrous combination.
• vs Goliath Bowser’s size is a weakness as much as it is a strength because it makes him slow and predictable. While the big man can get some decent straight line speed thank to shear size alone momentum is a massive a massive issue for bowser, as is how predictable/telegraphed his movements are.

Spirits:

Kindred Spirits:

• Susie: Who is this sassy lost child and why do they share the koopa king’s fashion sense? Bowser certainly does not know, but maybe he will find out.
• Peach: The love of his life whom he has repeatedly kidnapped and recently attempted to marry on the moon. Despite the princess’s dislike for her tormenter the pair have teamed up on a number of occasions when their world is threatened by a common enemy.
• Bowser jr.: Bowser’s only family is his beloved son bowser jr. The tiny turtle is his father's right hand boy and an eager participator in Bowser's various villainous ventures.

Inventory:

• Hat: A somewhat silly ranged weapon that is dangerous primarily due to its size. It can be thrown like a boomerang to strike a target, after which it will return to its master’s head. For no conceivable reason it features a pair of robotic boxing arms the only purpose of which seems to have been to allow Mario to beat the crap out of him once the hero stole the hat.
• Nice Suit: This pristine white suit it offers no combat enhancements or additional durability other than a pair of steel toed boots. It does however grant the King an extra dapper appearance. Without access to any tailors, such as the Broodles who made the thing, it is unlikely to survive the coming hostilities.

[Lmpkio]

@DracoLunaris Well damn lol

Back to Mario it is XD

[Lmpkio]

Btw I just finished World of Light... and I just gotta say without spoiling anything for those who hadn't played it yet:

YALL AINT READY FOR IT BOIS

[Stekkmen]

@Lugubrious thanks! I buffed his power to "Unblockable". the more 'momentum' the Centurion gets in a fight, the more powerful he becomes. Like a snowball. Except instead of snow it's incoherent latin screaming

@DracoLunaris

A great sheet! The only recommendations I would make would be to his specialty, actually. Rather than 'boss/tank', if you're going for the group leader role, you might consider replacing 'boss' with 'leader.' In addition, 'bruiser' might describe a tough character who's both a tough defender and a strong attacker, rather than a straight tank. These quibblings are, of course, nonessential, so feel free to port the sheet over to the Characters tab as you see fit.

@Lugubrious

So I actually meant boss as in last boss kind of deal, because I intend to see how well I can play Bowser's fighting style as the way he would vs Mario in game, but now that you have inadvertently suggested leadership I am defiantly going to see if I can pull that off IC.

Still under construction, but if there’s anything ability or equipment wise you’d like to change let me know.

Courier 6

"Caravan code of the wastes is you don't fuck with the one who brings you your mail..."
-Rose of Sharon Cassidy

Name: Courier 6
Game Origin: Fallout New Vegas
Appearance:
Personality:
Background:

Specialty: Wild Card (jack of all trades)
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers:

• VATS (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) - A feature that comes provided with the Pip-Boy 3000A worn on the Courier’s arm. VATS analyzes a target and gives the Courier enhanced perception of the fight,giving him a sort of “bullet time.” He is made aware of the probability of hitting his target under current conditions and can then queue up multiple shots one after another. The mental focus puts a lot of strain on the Courier, requiring he reorient himself and rest a minute before activating VATS again.

Strengths:

• Adaptability - The Courier is able to easily acclimate to new situations, environments, and scenarios. He’s quick to pick up new tricks and knowledge.
• Gunslinger - Whether it be shooting them, breaking them down, fixing them, or making new modifications, Courier 6 is good with small guns. Any conventional firearm, from a revolver to a shotgun to a rifle, is under his purview.
• Computer Science - In his travels, the Courier has become familiar with lots of computer and robotic technologies.

Weaknesses:

• Unpredictable - Whether by nature or as a side effect to the bullet in his brain, Courier 6 is a flighty and fickle individual. He’s as likely to try diplomacy as he is to run in guns first. Trying to make a “plan” is a crapshoot when you’re dealing with the Wild Card.
• Vice Guy - Life in the wasteland is harsh. Even worse when you walk it alone between settlements. To deal with the crap he’s lived through, the Courier is a functional addict of alcohol and chems, is willing to bang anything that moves, and is prone to negotiating for more money for jobs completed out of greed.
• Wild Wasteland - Whether it be the bullet in his brain, an effect of being a long-time chem addict, trauma from the things he’s seen in the wastes, or good old fashion genetics, the Courier sometimes can see…. Weird things. He swears he was once attacked by a gang called “Hell’s Grannies,” found the remains of a skeleton with a fedora inside a refrigerator, and witnessed an alien spaceship crash! He even claims he got ahold of the alien’s blaster! Which he promptly threw that away because energy weapons are for plebs and real men use conventional guns. In any case, he’s never able to prove the bizarre things he sees to other people, leaving the question as to whether or not these are schizophrenic hallucinations…

Spirits:

• None

Kindred Spirits:

• Arcade Gannon - A friend and companion of the Courier who desires to be a widespread influence of good for everyone in the Wasteland, but is pragmatic enough to understand that, sometimes, someone just needs to get shot. Highly intelligent, great at science, medicine, and energy weapons.
• Joshua Graham, the Burned Man - Former legate of Caesar’s Legion, disgraced, and an enemy of the Legion. An intelligent, highly religious man and very well spoken, but brutish by nature. He contains a rage unfathomable, always boiling beneath the surface. His durability is legendary.
• Marcus - A ten foot tall super mutant, formerly part of an army to unify the world, but moved on to create his own helpful society once the army fell, and helped the Chosen One save the world from the evil Enclave. Harbors no ill will for the humans who halted the Master’s Army, and his kindness humbles even the hardest of persons. His kindness is not to be confused for naivety, as his tremendous strength and skill with large scale weapons (such as miniguns, missile launchers, and plasma cannons) can shred small armies.

Inventory:

• Pip-Boy 3000A - A wrist-mounted computer with a variety of uses, such as monitoring your health and status, keeping track of inventory, tracking maps and locations, keeping logs and notes, interfacing with computer terminals, attached flashlight, and of course the most important feature of all: radio. I got spurs, that jingle jangle jingle (jingle jangle!) As I go riding merrily along.
• Courier’s Duster - A sleeveless duster with a large spade (like the card suit) emblazoned on the back. The Courier’s primary armor, more protective than it looks.
• .44 Magnum Revolver
• Hunting Shotgun
• Ratslayer - A unique varmint rifle with higher damage output, large magazine, decreased weight, a nightvision scope, and higher chance to critically injure targets.
• 1 stimpack - Syringe that stimulates quick healing.
• 3 Jet inhalers - A drug manufactured in the New California Republic to grant heightened senses and increased stamina. Highly addictive.
• 1 Buffout - A super steroid to increase physical capabilities, but the effects are very temporary. Moderately addictive.
• 1 bottle of whiskey
• Various cybernetic enhancements which are currently inactive until XP level-ups can get them functional again.

[Archmage MC]

Heres my adorable support robot lady. Now I just need to figure out my last kindred spirit. TF2 medic + Blazermate does pretty much everything a support should have so.... yeah. Any ideas? Or can I fill them in as the RP goes/I know what everyone else is using?

BTW my Smash ultiamte just came in the mail, so I can play World of Light now and catch up. xD

Blazermate

Name: Blazermate

Game Origin: Medarots 7 (Japan Only)

Appearance:

images

Personality: While having a fairly kind and supportive demur, Blazermate is aggressive and is raring to go for a fight if it presents itself. While not afraid to fight face to face, she isn't stupid and will tend to put the ally shes healing in between herself and the enemy. Outside of fighting shes cutesy and flirty, but blunt and can get annoyed quickly if things aren't going anywhere. If things are going places however, shes fine with being a bit aloof.

Background: Blazermate is a champion of Medabots, winning tournament after tournament and sometimes aiding another hero defeat a criminal organization if they were able to defeat her in combat. Although finding and defeating her was a problem in on itself, as she was the strongest of the -mate line of Medabots.

When Blazermate was on her way to the Medabot World Tournament when out of nowhere a blindingly bright light engulffed everyone including herself. Where she awoke would be a totally new place for her, and another world threat would have to be defeated, as soon she'd find out.

Specialty: Support
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers:
• Medi-beam - A beam Blazermate attaches to an ally, healing them over time as long as the beam is attached. Blazermate can also heal herself with this ability.

Strengths:
• Medabot - Medabots are combat robots. A robotic body means that Blazermate doesn't need to eat, sleep, breath, can survive in most extreme conditions and environments, is immune to poison, disease and being lit on fire, and has greater strength than her frame would have you believe. Medabots also have a built in infinite energy engine that means they can't get tired, never run out of power, never need to recharge, and can use their abilities at their fullest unless damaged. The engine is mystical in nature, as medabots do not run on electricity. All medabots are equipped with basic weaponry alongside their special abilities.
• Vital Point Targeting/Scan - Blazermate passively analyzes her opponents or allies and is aware of how healthy or damaged they are, and of any weak points she can exploit.
• Low Level Flight - Blazermate can freely glide due to her lightweight and aerodynamic design and hover for a time thanks to the jet turbines in her hair.

Weaknesses:
Lightweight - Blazermate's ability to fly and glide due to her light frame also make her quite easy to knock around.

Spirits:

Kindred Spirits:
Medic - Team Fortress 2: Another practicer of science and the medi-gun? Maybe Ludwig could share some tips on how to properly conduct science...
Queen Sectonia - Kirby: Something about being away from that mirror and the caring, if brash and aggressive nature of this lady seems... familiar.
<spot>

Inventory: Repair tools, ammunition.

[DClassified]

The Maverick Hunter

ZERO

---

---

---

Game Origin: Megaman X

Personality

Outwardly, Zero appears cold and emotionless to others, even towards partners X and Axl. However, it is shown that he has the capacity to care for others. Zero keeps his cool under most circumstances. It takes something quite drastic for Zero, such as the death of Iris, to lose that demeanor and, in turn, fall to his emotions. Despite not viewing himself as a hero, Zero has often displayed a tendency to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. He also shows distaste for innocent deaths. Even though Zero does not openly show it, he too seems to long for peace between humans and Reploids. However, he has said that he doesn't have any problems fighting, unlike his more pacifistic friend, X; whether his enemy is a Maverick or a human, he will fight at his best.

Background

Zero was built in the year 2XXX by the evil scientist, Dr. Wily, as another attempt to best Dr. Light's creation, Mega Man. Quite possibly Wily's most powerful creation, Zero was built based on blueprints stolen from Dr. Light's laboratory (that of the new Mega Man model known as X). It is unknown if Zero ever performed his primary function to destroy Mega Man. Zero contained a flaw in his cognitive program that made him violent and unwilling to obey instructions. Because of this, Wily decided to seal him in a capsule.

Zero's history with the Maverick Hunters began with Zero as the maverick. A century later, his hiding place was found by a group of Reploids. Once awakened by this group, Zero destroyed them, as well as any intruders who would dare enter Wily's lair. Destroying everything in his path, a freshly awakened Zero was ready to create a swathe of destruction, just as he was programmed to do. The situation became so serious when Zero wiped out Gamma's unit that Sigma, the current leader of the Maverick Hunters, had to fight Zero himself.

During this fight, Zero stood against Sigma's superior fighting skills until he severed his right arm. Afterward, Sigma was slowly becoming a victim to the Maverick's feral nature and was mercilessly beaten. Zero was then attempting to finish off the hunter commander by ripping off his head. However, before he could do so, Zero reeled back in pain as a large "W" appeared on the crystal in his head, likely representing "Wily". Taking the brief moment of vulnerability, Sigma smashed his fist into Zero's crystal, rendering him unconscious.

Zero was taken back to Maverick Hunter headquarters where he was repaired and reprogrammed to have the free will capacity of the newly found reploid, X. After Zero's repairs were complete, he was refitted with up to date hunter weaponry. His obvious skill with his signature Z-saber was equal to none. Zero quickly rose to the elite ranks of the hunters, until finally he held the station of second-in-command under Sigma. When Sigma went maverick, Zero was given his title and put in charge of guiding the new recruit, X.

Zero and X worked together for several missions and Zero ended up sacrificing himself to save X from the renegade hunter, Vile. Zero was rebuilt by Sigma's henchmen and controlled briefly, but an encounter with X allowed him to return to the proper state of mind. X eventually rose to become the leader of the hunters as Zero worked with him, tirelessly "retiring" mavericks and thwarting the plans of Sigma.

Though, one day, great beams of light came from the sky and began consuming everyone. Zero and X did what they could to save as many as possible, but there was nothing they could do and soon, their world was consumed within Galeem's great light...

Specialty: Close-Quarters Combat|Analysis
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10

Powers

Z-Buster: Essentially an arm cannon that Zero can fire plasma out of through charging up energy. Zero possesses one in each arm, but he has to be standing still to fire them.

Strengths

Masterful Combatant - Due to his creation to be one of the greatest battle Reploids of his world, Zero naturally much more apt to combat than most others. Along with his Learning Capacity, he'd know where to where to attack, how to maintain defense, and how to read his opponents or gauge opposing attacks so as to react accordingly. Further, he can quickly analyze an opponent's fighting style, how they perform attacks, and figure out their potential weaknesses.

Reploid Physiology - While appearing very much human-like in nature, Zero is a Reploid, and not only that but a Battle Reploid. In which case, he is typically much faster, stronger, and more durable than most Reploids, let alone humans. He doesn't possess the need for food, water, or necessarily oxygen, although at times needing rest.

Weaknesses

Hero/Fighter's Spirit - Zero's tendency to sacrifice himself for those whom he cares about, as well as innocent/good individuals can prove to be damaging and even fatal at times. What is more, his willingness to fight above flight in some cases, can also result in his downfall.

Reprogramming - Zero is by no means immune to mind-control, and has on a few occasions been reprogrammed for evil purposes, even before the likes of Galeem had appeared into his world.

Spirits: N/A

Kindred Spirits

Megaman "X" - His initial protege turned partner and best friend, Zero has the utmost respect for X above all others. They've been through thick and thin together, despite their differences. His relationship to X is like that of an older brother of sorts.

Iris - Iris was among his friends and worked with him on his missions as his operator. He's saved her life a few times. Although he never necessarily acknowledged it, Iris had some sorts of feelings for him. Though, it was too late by the time he actually did, as she perished in his arms, leaving Zero with emotions that he was never quite sure that he had.

Axl - Axl's situation is similar to X, in that they are also partners who rely on one another. Zero can find the younger, new Gen Reploid to be kind of annoying due to his childish nature, but admires the kid's heart.

Inventory

Weapon Of Choice

Z-Saber - Zero's trademarked weapon is a fluid blue-green blade of pure energy much more powerful than just any beam sword. A versatile weapon and very formidable when in his hands.

His kindness is not to be confused for naivety, as his tremendous strength and skill with large scale weapons (such as miniguns, missile launchers, and plasma cannons) can shred small armies.

@ProPro

Heres my adorable support robot lady. Now I just need to figure out my last kindred spirit. TF2 medic + Blazermate does pretty much everything a support should have so.... yeah. Any ideas? Or can I fill them in as the RP goes/I know what everyone else is using?

BTW my Smash ultiamte just came in the mail, so I can play World of Light now and catch up. xD

Blazermate

Name: Blazermate

Game Origin: Medarots 7 (Japan Only)

Appearance:

images

Personality: While having a fairly kind and supportive demur, Blazermate is aggressive and is raring to go for a fight if it presents itself. While not afraid to fight face to face, she isn't stupid and will tend to put the ally shes healing in between herself and the enemy. Outside of fighting shes cutesy and flirty, but blunt and can get annoyed quickly if things aren't going anywhere. If things are going places however, shes fine with being a bit aloof.

Background: Blazermate is a champion of Medabots, winning tournament after tournament and sometimes aiding another hero defeat a criminal organization if they were able to defeat her in combat. Although finding and defeating her was a problem in on itself, as she was the strongest of the -mate line of Medabots.

When Blazermate was on her way to the Medabot World Tournament when out of nowhere a blindingly bright light engulffed everyone including herself. Where she awoke would be a totally new place for her, and another world threat would have to be defeated, as soon she'd find out.

Specialty: Support
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers:
• Medi-beam - A beam Blazermate attaches to an ally, healing them over time as long as the beam is attached. Blazermate can also heal herself with this ability.

Strengths:
• Medabot - Medabots are combat robots. A robotic body means that Blazermate doesn't need to eat, sleep, breath, can survive in most extreme conditions and environments, is immune to poison, disease and being lit on fire, and has greater strength than her frame would have you believe. Medabots also have a built in infinite energy engine that means they can't get tired, never run out of power, never need to recharge, and can use their abilities at their fullest unless damaged. The engine is mystical in nature, as medabots do not run on electricity. All medabots are equipped with basic weaponry alongside their special abilities.
• Vital Point Targeting/Scan - Blazermate passively analyzes her opponents or allies and is aware of how healthy or damaged they are, and of any weak points she can exploit.
• Low Level Flight - Blazermate can freely glide due to her lightweight and aerodynamic design and hover for a time thanks to the jet turbines in her hair.

Weaknesses:
Lightweight - Blazermate's ability to fly and glide due to her light frame also make her quite easy to knock around.

Spirits:

Kindred Spirits:
Medic - Team Fortress 2: Another practicer of science and the medi-gun? Maybe Ludwig could share some tips on how to properly conduct science...
Queen Sectonia - Kirby: Something about being away from that mirror and the caring, if brash and aggressive nature of this lady seems... familiar.

Inventory: Repair tools, ammunition.

The Maverick Hunter

ZERO

---

---

---

Game Origin: Megaman X

Personality

Outwardly, Zero appears cold and emotionless to others, even towards partners X and Axl. However, it is shown that he has the capacity to care for others. Zero keeps his cool under most circumstances. It takes something quite drastic for Zero, such as the death of Iris, to lose that demeanor and, in turn, fall to his emotions. Despite not viewing himself as a hero, Zero has often displayed a tendency to sacrifice himself for the sake of others. He also shows distaste for innocent deaths. Even though Zero does not openly show it, he too seems to long for peace between humans and Reploids. However, he has said that he doesn't have any problems fighting, unlike his more pacifistic friend, X; whether his enemy is a Maverick or a human, he will fight at his best.

Background

Zero was built in the year 2XXX by the evil scientist, Dr. Wily, as another attempt to best Dr. Light's creation, Mega Man. Quite possibly Wily's most powerful creation, Zero was built based on blueprints stolen from Dr. Light's laboratory (that of the new Mega Man model known as X). It is unknown if Zero ever performed his primary function to destroy Mega Man. Zero contained a flaw in his cognitive program that made him violent and unwilling to obey instructions. Because of this, Wily decided to seal him in a capsule.

Zero's history with the Maverick Hunters began with Zero as the maverick. A century later, his hiding place was found by a group of Reploids. Once awakened by this group, Zero destroyed them, as well as any intruders who would dare enter Wily's lair. Destroying everything in his path, a freshly awakened Zero was ready to create a swathe of destruction, just as he was programmed to do. The situation became so serious when Zero wiped out Gamma's unit that Sigma, the current leader of the Maverick Hunters, had to fight Zero himself.

During this fight, Zero stood against Sigma's superior fighting skills until he severed his right arm. Afterward, Sigma was slowly becoming a victim to the Maverick's feral nature and was mercilessly beaten. Zero was then attempting to finish off the hunter commander by ripping off his head. However, before he could do so, Zero reeled back in pain as a large "W" appeared on the crystal in his head, likely representing "Wily". Taking the brief moment of vulnerability, Sigma smashed his fist into Zero's crystal, rendering him unconscious.

Zero was taken back to Maverick Hunter headquarters where he was repaired and reprogrammed to have the free will capacity of the newly found reploid, X. After Zero's repairs were complete, he was refitted with up to date hunter weaponry. His obvious skill with his signature Z-saber was equal to none. Zero quickly rose to the elite ranks of the hunters, until finally he held the station of second-in-command under Sigma. When Sigma went maverick, Zero was given his title and put in charge of guiding the new recruit, X.

Zero and X worked together for several missions and Zero ended up sacrificing himself to save X from the renegade hunter, Vile. Zero was rebuilt by Sigma's henchmen and controlled briefly, but an encounter with X allowed him to return to the proper state of mind. X eventually rose to become the leader of the hunters as Zero worked with him, tirelessly "retiring" mavericks and thwarting the plans of Sigma.

Though, one day, great beams of light came from the sky and began consuming everyone. Zero and X did what they could to save as many as possible, but there was nothing they could do and soon, their world was consumed within Galeem's great light...

Specialty: Close-Quarters Combat|Analysis
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10

Powers

Z-Buster: Essentially an arm cannon that Zero can fire plasma out of through charging up energy. Zero possesses one in each arm, but he has to be standing still to fire them.

Strengths

Masterful Combatant - Due to his creation to be one of the greatest battle Reploids of his world, Zero naturally much more apt to combat than most others. Along with his Learning Capacity, he'd know where to where to attack, how to maintain defense, and how to read his opponents or gauge opposing attacks so as to react accordingly. Further, he can quickly analyze an opponent's fighting style, how they perform attacks, and figure out their potential weaknesses.

Reploid Physiology - While appearing very much human-like in nature, Zero is a Reploid, and not only that but a Battle Reploid. In which case, he is typically much faster, stronger, and more durable than most Reploids, let alone humans. He doesn't possess the need for food, water, or necessarily oxygen, although at times needing rest.

Weaknesses

Hero/Fighter's Spirit - Zero's tendency to sacrifice himself for those whom he cares about, as well as innocent/good individuals can prove to be damaging and even fatal at times. What is more, his willingness to fight above flight in some cases, can also result in his downfall.

Reprogramming - Zero is by no means immune to mind-control, and has on a few occasions been reprogrammed for evil purposes, even before the likes of Galeem had appeared into his world.

Spirits: N/A

Kindred Spirits

Megaman "X" - His initial protege turned partner and best friend, Zero has the utmost respect for X above all others. They've been through thick and thin together, despite their differences. His relationship to X is like that of an older brother of sorts.

Iris - Iris was among his friends and worked with him on his missions as his operator. He's saved her life a few times. Although he never necessarily acknowledged it, Iris had some sorts of feelings for him. Though, it was too late by the time he actually did, as she perished in his arms, leaving Zero with emotions that he was never quite sure that he had.

Axl - Axl's situation is similar to X, in that they are also partners who rely on one another. Zero can find the younger, new Gen Reploid to be kind of annoying due to his childish nature, but admires the kid's heart.

Inventory

Weapon Of Choice

Z-Saber - Zero's trademarked weapon is a fluid blue-green blade of pure energy much more powerful than just any beam sword. A versatile weapon and very formidable when in his hands.

@DC The Dragon

A very good bunch! I have nothing bad to say about the lot of them so far. Those that are complete can be put into the Characters tab.

As for suggested kindred spirits, Archmage, my first thoughts would be anyone close to Blazermate in her home game, or another character from any game that you'd like to play as for a second character.

[Stern Algorithm]

Gonna get a CS up eventually, but I'm tentatively going for Din the Dancer and Oracle of Seasons, from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, who will be a dancer/support mage, with her Rod of Seasons.

The red one in the middle:

Courier 6

"Caravan code of the wastes is you don't fuck with the one who brings you your mail..."
-Rose of Sharon Cassidy

Name: Courier 6
Game Origin: Fallout New Vegas
Appearance: Courier 6 is a largely unassuming, grizzled man of slightly above average height and build. Skin tanned from walking the Mojave Wasteland, black stubble, and unkempt short hair disclose exactly the sort of rough and wild lifestyle he lives.Though it’s hard to get a good idea of his body type through his duster, it’s clear he’s a reasonably strong and sturdy fellow. A thick scar is visible near his hairline, where Benny shot him, but this is usually hidden beneath his tan cowboy hat.
Personality: There are some who know the Courier as an angel, sent from the very Heavens. To others, he is the grim fucking reaper. But to his friends who know him? 6 is a goofy, hard drinking, fun loving son of a bitch who’ll go to any lengths for a friend. And also occasionally an asshole.

In general, 6 is a morally strong individual with a “live and let live” attitude, accepting of anybody’s rights and freedoms to behave however they want to, so long as they’re not infringing on other people. His creed is “No gods, no masters.” However, once he witnesses an injustice, he has no choice but to act on it. Whether by gun or silver tongue, or even good old fashioned fisticuffs, the Courier will step in to set right what went wrong. Sometimes his approach can be as extreme as an extermination, sometimes as benign as a bribe. How exactly he determines what measures are appropriate remain a mystery, even to him.

If there is one word above all others that describes Courier 6, it is determination. Once he has a goal in mind, a road to walk, nothing short of death will stop him from reaching the end of that road. And sometimes not even death will deter him.
Background: Courier 6 was born and raised in the New California Republic (NCR) some 200 years after nuclear fire rained upon the world. Though far from the comfortable, lavish lifestyle of pre-war America, the NCR had a stable government, decent infrastructure, and indoor plumbing, making it leaps and bounds beyond most of the rest of America. Growing up was tough, but no tougher than the rest of the kids his age, so by local standards everything was pretty average. He craved something more. Sitting still bothered him, felt wrong. He needed to move around, see new things, keep active. From a young age he became a freelance courier, one of the most dangerous occupations in the wasteland. After all, who was both crazy and tough enough to cross vast distances of harsh irradiated landscapes littered with hungry animals, feral ghouls, monstrous mutations, and raiders? This guy.

The Courier took jobs wherever they came up and traveled the lands, from California to Oregon to Montana (where he definitely doesn’t have any illegitimate kids, definitely not) and back again. Eventually he had a stable, usual route from the heart of the NCR to the Mojave Wasteland which moved through an area known as “the Divide.” Without even realizing the impact his supply line was having, a settlement in the Divide, Hopeville, began to flourish from an Old World military base. At least it did, until he delivered his final package to Hopeville, once again completely ignorant to the impact he’d have. The package contained a robot with launch codes to the ICBMs buried beneath Hopeville. Upon activation, it transmitted the codes and detonated dozens of nuclear warheads underground. The end result was a Hellish landscape even by wasteland standards, ravaged by constant storms that’ll strip flesh from bone in seconds, occupied by the most horrific of mutant creatures.

As the years past and the Divide changed in reputation to the settlements all around it, the Courier continued business as usual. Eventually he took a job out of the Mojave in the town of Primm. Five couriers before him either turned down the job, or died in the process, making him Courier 6. The job seemed simple enough: deliver a single platinum poker chip to New Vegas and pickup his biggest payday yet. Simple. Little did he know this was the most important delivery in his lifetime. On the way to Vegas, Courier 6 was ambushed by some gang members led by a man who didn’t fit in, a man wearing a nice and expensive checkered suit. Near the town of Goodsprings they dug him a grave and stole his package. Then the man in the checkered suit put his gun to the Courier’s head and uttered the words that 6 will never forget. “You’ve made your last delivery, kid. Sorry you got twisted up in this scene. From where you’re kneeling it must seem like an 18-carat run of bad luck. Truth is… the game was rigged from the start.” Bang!

The Courier was shot in the head, twice just to be sure then buried in a shallow grave. But his journey did not end there. Once the coast was clear, a securitron (security robots owned and operated by the master of New Vegas) dug up his body and rushed him to the Goodsprings doctor. Doc Mitchell worked hard to save the Courier’s life, and ultimately was successful, expressing astonishment at the Courier’s will to live. The injury left the Courier a bit… Damaged, so to speak. While his skills, knowledge, and memories were left intact, it did scramble his sense of identity. Basically, he could no longer remember his own name, only that he was Courier 6. The man in the checkered suit needed to be dealt with. He took his health. He took his name. Worst of all, he took his goddamn package! Last delivery? Fuck that! He was going to track that asshole down, put a goddamn bullet in his face, then take that platinum chip where it needed to go! He’s the fucking Courier!

To make a long story short, the Courier tracked down this elusive enemy to the heart of New Vegas, learned he was the manager of the Tops casino named Benny, and collected a motley crew of companions along the way. He shot Benny dead in his own penthouse, recovered the platinum chip, and finally completed his delivery to the Lucky 38, home of New Vegas’ mysterious owner Mr. House. But he quickly learned this delivery was not the end of his road, merely an intersection. Mr. House revealed the chip’s true purpose as an advanced computer disc, the power of which he’d use to strong arm the encroaching Caesar’s Legion and NCR to recognize Vegas as a city-state under his rule, maintain private ownership of Hoover Dam, charge an arm and a leg for the power it provides, so on and so forth. Impressed by the Courier’s skill and determination, he wanted this pissed off mailman as his enforcer. But House was not alone. Both the NCR and the Legion sent emissaries to recruit him to their own cause. The Courier heard them all out, considered what each one intended for the Mojave… And made his move.

No gods. No masters. The Courier played the NCR, Legion, and House against one another. Once the time was right, he struck by taking out House and claiming the platinum chip and securitron army as his own. At the Battle of Hoover Dam, the Legion suffered a terrible defeat, and the NCR was forced to recognize New Vegas and surrounding area as an independent nation with the right to self-govern. The Courier has usurped an army to defeat two more, forever changing the progression of the region.

Leading up to the Battle of Hoover Dam the Courier has a number of other adventures. The treasure of the Sierra Madre. Meeting the Burned Man in Zion Canyon, Utah. Becoming master of the science and technology of the Big Empty (he doesn’t like to talk about that one. It was weeeeeird. Totally hit on his own disembodied brain, though. That was cool.). And of course, he rediscovered his roots by walking the lonesome road in the Divide. But nothing he’s ever achieved before could possibly compare to what was happening now. The light reminded him of a nuclear blast in its intensity and destructive force, swallowing up everything in its way. But a nuke is safe as long as you’re far enough away. A nuke eventually stops. The light did not.

Specialty: Wild Card (jack of all trades)
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10
Powers:

• VATS (Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System) - A feature that comes provided with the Pip-Boy 3000A worn on the Courier’s arm. VATS analyzes a target and gives the Courier enhanced perception of the fight, giving him a sort of “bullet time.” He is made aware of the probability of hitting his target under current conditions and can then queue up multiple shots one after another. The mental focus puts a lot of strain on the Courier, requiring he reorient himself and rest a minute before activating VATS again.

Strengths:

• Adaptability - The Courier is able to easily acclimate to new situations, environments, and scenarios. He’s quick to pick up new tricks and knowledge.
• Gunslinger - Whether it be shooting them, breaking them down, fixing them, or making new modifications, Courier 6 is good with small guns. Any conventional firearm, from a revolver to a shotgun to a rifle, is under his purview.
• Computer Science - In his travels, the Courier has become familiar with lots of computer and robotic technologies.

Weaknesses:

• Unpredictable - Whether by nature or as a side effect to the bullet in his brain, Courier 6 is a flighty and fickle individual. He’s as likely to try diplomacy as he is to run in guns first. Trying to make a “plan” is a crapshoot when you’re dealing with the Wild Card.
• Vice Guy - Life in the wasteland is harsh. Even worse when you walk it alone between settlements. To deal with the crap he’s lived through, the Courier is a functional addict of alcohol and chems, is willing to bang anything that moves, and is prone to negotiating for more money for jobs completed out of greed.
• Wild Wasteland - Whether it be the bullet in his brain, an effect of being a long-time chem addict, trauma from the things he’s seen in the wastes, or good old fashion genetics, the Courier sometimes can see…. Weird things. He swears he was once attacked by a gang called “Hell’s Grannies,” found the remains of a skeleton with a fedora inside a refrigerator, and witnessed an alien spaceship crash! He even claims he got ahold of the alien’s blaster! Which he promptly threw away because energy weapons are for plebs and real men use conventional guns. In any case, he’s never able to prove the bizarre things he sees to other people, leaving the question as to whether or not these are schizophrenic hallucinations…

Spirits:

• None

Kindred Spirits:

• Arcade Gannon - A friend and companion of the Courier who desires to be a widespread influence of good for everyone in the Wasteland, but is pragmatic enough to understand that, sometimes, someone just needs to get shot. Highly intelligent, great at science, medicine, and energy weapons.
• Joshua Graham, the Burned Man - Former legate of Caesar’s Legion, disgraced, and an enemy of the Legion. An intelligent, highly religious man and very well spoken, but brutish by nature. He contains a rage unfathomable, always boiling beneath the surface. His durability is legendary.
• Marcus - A ten foot tall super mutant, formerly part of an army to unify the world, but moved on to create his own helpful society once the army fell, and helped the Chosen One save the world from the evil Enclave. Harbors no ill will for the humans who halted the Master’s Army, and his kindness humbles even the hardest of persons. His kindness is not to be confused for naivety, as his tremendous strength and skill with large scale weapons (such as miniguns, missile launchers, and plasma cannons) can shred small armies.

Inventory:

• Pip-Boy 3000A - A wrist-mounted computer with a variety of uses, such as monitoring your health and status, keeping track of inventory, tracking maps and locations, keeping logs and notes, interfacing with computer terminals, attached flashlight, and of course the most important feature of all: radio. I got spurs, that jingle jangle jingle (jingle jangle!) As I go riding merrily along.
• Courier’s Duster - A sleeveless duster with a large spade (like the card suit) emblazoned on the back. The Courier’s primary armor, more protective than it looks.
• .44 Magnum Revolver
• Hunting Shotgun
• Ratslayer - A unique varmint rifle with higher damage output, large magazine, decreased weight, a nightvision scope, and higher chance to critically injure targets.
• 1 stimpack - Syringe that stimulates quick healing.
• 3 Jet inhalers - A drug manufactured in the New California Republic to grant heightened senses and increased stamina. Highly addictive.
• 1 Buffout - A super steroid to increase physical capabilities, but the effects are very temporary. Moderately addictive.
