[OOC] Broken Anime

[link23454]

So here's the character sheet as best I can make it.
Name:

Age:

Gender:

Race(only for real world people; anime isn’t important):

Description(picture, if you prefer):

Background:[For real world people, how did you get to lower manhattan? For anime people, what was your story before you joined the group?]

Strengths:

Weaknesses:

Fighting Style(if any):

What can manipulate this character without them noticing?:

Rules:
1: No formatting rules. If you feel like using script format, fine. If you feel like prose, that fine too. I have no issues so long as everyone can understand what you are saying and your grammar is at least acceptable (for those with issues on this; manyly those with a different native language or lisps, please let us know ahead of time so we can prepare for it).

2: Posting an issue? Take your time, but do understand that you make everyone wait. If you have issues posting on time, then PM me with your problems. We can't have too many inactive RPers.

3: Restictions on characters ::: I have almost none on them. If you make a character in the anime, it stays in the anime. There are chances to find out about the real world, but nothing more. If you make a character in the real world, only make them in the real world. If you have story related plans for them in the anime, then their anime character will be decided between the CS maker and myself.

4: One last thing. Have fun. Seriously, these rules are more of a guide line then serious rules. Use them, but try not to enforce them too much. Again, just try and have fun.

5: I need to add this. One person has done it already, so I don't want a repeat. If you choose to be someone from the real world, you can't end up as someone in the group of five people or as the "monarch." That's why they are held as separate roles.

If you have any questions, please remember to post them here and not as a PM to me.

Update: Also for those who don't know what this is for, here's the link to the interest check.

I will try to have a CS up today, as I will be unavailable for three days, starting tomorrow. I'll still be able to keep up with the OOC/IC (if it gets up), but won't be able to post. Sorry about that!

That's fine. I doubt that I'll have the IC stuff figured out anytime soon, so it might be a few days or so until this gets up and running.

[Mateotis]

So here we go, here is my CS. I was a little unsure about a few sections, please tell me what should I fix! Also, the Background may be expanded when I'll have the time. ^^

Name: Damon Hazenberg (real world name) Natsumi Thetis (anime name) (not sure if you need two of these)

Age: 16

Race(only for real world people; anime isn’t important): Umm...Human? If asking for nationality, American, as the story is played in Manhattan.

Description(picture, if you prefer): Damon had short black hair and blue eyes. His height and weight were both average. He mostly wore comfortable clothes, like T-shirts and jeans. He had a pair of stylish eyeglasses as well. Since he has got into the anime, his hair got a little more brownish, his eyes equipped a purple shade and his glasses disappeared. For some reason, he still sees perfectly without them.

Background:[For real world people, how did you get to lower manhattan? For anime people, what was your story before you joined the group?]: Damon was a typical modern-day teenager with an eager love for three things: music, computers and anime. He always looked for ways to improve his knowledge in these three topics and for more information. Recently, he has found out about the newest anime craze and he quickly got addicted to it as well. However, he would've never thought about himself getting physically involved with it and this is what just happened to him a few days ago: He found himself right in the middle of the story, basically overnight! Quickly realizing its possibilities, he adapted to the world of Ozenbuel and set out on the journey to find the monarch's assassin.

Strengths: Because of his love for music, Damon has a great sense of rhythm. He is also very good with computers.

Weaknesses: Silence and people who can't understand the importance of modern technology.

Fighting Style(if any): Standard, he's not particularly skilled in fighting nor he had any training.

What can manipulate this character without them noticing?: People who have a greater knowledge of music than him, as he admires those people.

Yes and no. I'm ask for Race as in White, Black, Asian, Indian, French, etc. I'm asking because it's something to help figure out what type of person they get pulled into the anime with. IF they were born in America, then yeah they would be american. However, I'm more for their blood relations than their nationality.

Also I should mention that since you chose to be a real world person, you can't be pulled into the group of people. That's why I told everyone to choose first. I guess I didn't make that clear. My fault. Seriously sorry. Either way, those five and the "monarch's" position are reserved for those who wish to be in the anime right off the bat.

I do like it. Honestly, I read through to this part and thought that you would have to change it because I didn't want anyone to be a real world person and start off in the anime, but this is interesting. It has a lot of story possibilities. So for now, you can leave it as is if you like it.

Still, even with as much as I like it, I want the story to run off of complete confusion. As in this:
This is just an example...

So after a long day of work, I went to bed. I know that a new episode for the anime was up, but I was too tired to watch it. Instead I decided to watch it tomorrow. Only problem is that I wasn't expecting what happened next to happen.

Now, I went to bed, just like anyone else would, and I just laid there. It was like I couldn’t even fall asleep because I didn’t watch the anime that night. Either way, I eventually fell asleep and waited. I say waited because that’s really the only way to help put this next part into perspective.

When I woke up, I found myself in an alley way in a place I had no recollection of. Down one way was a street that was as black as pitch. Not even the road lines were visible from the light on the other side of the alley. So I walked to the side with light and found people roaming the street, being polite to each other, talking about random things… one of them even passed by me and said hello in the most polite tone I’ve ever heard. I said hello back and began to think that this must be some better part of the cities. I’ve never heard of anyone in Manhattan being so polite before. The moment I thought that, I looked up and saw a big sign that read “Coming to the Ozenbuel Theater…” That was literally all I read. I remember thinking to myself, “Ozenbuel? No way in hell is this Ozenbuel. This has got to be some elaborate joke or something.” Unfortunately, I knew something was up when I noticed a group of shady looking people in cloaks walk into the alley that I just left from. I decide to walk back to the alley and grabbed their attention. This is what happened.

???: Hey! Wait up! (running down the alley)
The group stops.

???: Are you the guys who did this to me? If so, it’s not funny.

Man: Wait a minute. Do you even know who we are?

???: No, but you’re about to tell me or I can call the cops.

Man: (short pause) Cops?
The rest of the group whisper to each other.

???: Seriously?

Man: Do you mean the guards?

???: Guards? (tone reflecting his seriousness)

Man: Yeah. That’s Ozenbuel’s only form of authority, besides the monarch that is.

And with that, I couldn’t believe it, but I was stuck in the world of anime. I really couldn’t rap my head around it and fainted. TO BE CONTINUED…


That's the best I can come up with.

Don't worry about fixing your CS to update the gender part Mateotis. I've got a Google Drive Folder set up where everyone's CS's will be, and I've already added that in there for you.

Thank you! ^^
Once you'll have a couple more, you could open a 'character dump' here on RPG as well. :)

It's not that I don't want to do it, but I find it easier to organize everything with Google Drive. So if you want, you can make one for this if you want to, but for now, I'm sticking with the Google Drive.

Speaking of, I updated my signature. The "Link's Broken Anime Folder" is where everything will be kept.

If you look at the One Piece Folder, you'll see how I have everything organized for another RP I'm a part of, though I'm not a GM for it.

Wait. do you want to join?
Feel free to choose your character if you do.

[link23454]

I'll give it 3 days. If no body shows up to take any anime places, then I won't be able to do this. I have a hard enough time keeping track of my own character and all of the NPC's, but the less NPC's in the group of five, the better. There's that bit of randomness that I can't perform by myself.

[The Irish Tree]

Sorry, turns out that I can't really make time for this. Sorry Link :<

That's fine.

I've finished my CS, I hope it's okay.
Name: Eridia Stephen

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Description(picture, if you prefer):

Some things you can't tell from the picture are that she is about 5' 5" and her eyes are more of a hazel color. Originally her hair had more brown in it, she didn't have the left eye in the real world but she didn't wear black pirate-like eye patches.

Background:[For real world people, how did you get to lower manhattan? For anime people, what was your story before you joined the group?]: Eridia was born and raised in Manhattan, she was an average child save one thing; her temper. She had monumental anger management problems but luckily for her she was hard to upset. However when she did get angry she became some sort of monster, loosing all limitations she was able to use the full potential of human power. It usually resulted in a self inflicted injury, including the loss of her eye. Lately her body has been able to withstand her outbursts without damage more than it used to. These frequent injuries also boosted her pain tolerance, it is unlikely that Eridia will show any pain even if she receives a serious injury. Eridia often went to the internet to escape the reputation she was earning in real life, that was how she found the latest anime craze. She enjoyed watching it and easily saw how people became obsessed, Eridia herself appreciated the time and effort that must have been put in as well as the story but never became a true fan. After being dropped right in the story she decided that it would be important to play along, she couldn't waste time trying to figure out why this was happening, if that was something she even wanted to know, and she was personally interested in who killed the Monarch. Eridia has set aside her own worries and questions as she wouldn't want to ruin the show or tip off the real world that she didn't belong.

Strengths: Naturally Eridia favors her right side however her left ear is particularly sensitive to sound, making it hard to sneak up on her. When angered she becomes incredibly strong. She is skilled at fighting as many gangs decided to test themselves against her strength and agile for the same reasons.

Weaknesses: She is paranoid about her left side and becomes slightly agitated when people ask about it. In her out bursts she is unable to tell when she pushes her body too far, causing injuries ranging from a twisted ankle to shattering of bones.

Fighting Style(if any): Although she hates to admit it she relies heavily on her strength, using it to overpower her enemies. When Eridia stayed calm enough to prevent an outburst she was hard to hit. However she avoids fights and will only react when provoked.

What can manipulate this character without them noticing?: Eridia isn't the brightest bulb in the box, she can be manipulated by people smarter than her self without noticing for extended periods of time.

[link23454]

I apologize for not making this obvious. It's entirely my fault. I haven't added my CS, so there wasn't any other place to find it, and again, I apologize.

I need everyone to know about the real world people. As this RP is based off of the end of the story I'm writing, my character is the main character of that story. How 'being pulled into the anime' works for real world people. They don't get pulled into the anime indefinitely, rather they are pulled in for a day at a time. It works like this.

First: In the real world, you stay awake for the entire day.
Second: In the real world, you go to sleep at the end of the day.
Third: In the anime world, you wake up, not necessarily in your own body or one that you recognize.
Fourth: In the anime world, you stay awake the entire day, as if fully rested.
Fifth: In the anime world, you go to sleep at the end of that day.
Sixth: In the real world, you wake up in your own body. (There are potential exceptions to this, but only if the GM allows or mentions it.)
Seventh: Repeat this entire process.

Again, I want to apologize for not making this obvious, as it is entirely my fault. There are many reasons behind this that will be revealed in story.

Sapphire: All in all, I like the character. She is very similar to the personality of my own. However, ^^^this part is absolutely crucial. I want to apologize again for not mentioning it sooner.

[link23454]

As for my character, here it is. If you guys have issues with it, by all mean, be as critical as you want. I won't hold it against you.

Name: Darrin Guillot

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Race(only for real world people; anime isn’t important): Caucasian/White

Description(picture, if you prefer):


Background:[For real world people, how did you get to lower Manhattan? For anime people, what was your story before you joined the group?]
This is the man that started it all. Darrin isn’t just your average American anymore. He is the man who made “The Story of Ozenbuel” and began the story of people living in anime.
It wasn’t always like this for Darrin. He actually used to be an “everyday american.” His life was just as ordinary as any other person before things happened to him to put him where he is today.
For a while, Darrin had become bored with life, so he decided to write a story in the hopes of killing his boredom. He never cared for the worries of the world, so he didn’t care much about the USA or any other country at that. He only cared about his boredom and getting rid of. The only downside for him was that he wasn’t a great enthusiast when it came to telling stories, but he pushed that aside and continued. Still, he couldn’t come up with anything, so he decided to go to sleep instead and hope that he could dream up something instead.
When he woke up, Darrin found himself in a wooden room that he didn’t recognize. It took quite some time for him to realize that he was stuck inside an anime that was pretty successful; One Piece. He was even on board the ship of the main characters; The Straw Hat Pirates. It confused him at first, but a few days passed and he got used to it.
Every time he went to sleep in either world, Darrin found himself in the other world. It was a constant switch between the real world and One Piece, but he quickly became used to it. For some reason though, he couldn’t wrap his head around it. He couldn’t figure out the reason for why he was pulled into the anime. It plague him day in and day out, and he soon found out the reason why.
One day, when he returned to the One Piece world, an event happened that brought more confusion. An episode of the anime that he remembered began to unfold right in front of him. Thankfully, he survived this ordeal and learned something new. The reason he was brought into the world was simple… But I’d rather not tell you. It’ll ruin the surprise. Just know that he saved the world of One Piece from outside sources and finally returned to his own.
After all of that, he decided to leave the story writing alone, only to be pulled into something else. This time though, he had no idea what the anime was. He searched on many websites and news networks for anything that might fit the description of the anime, but found absolutely nothing. So, instead of completely ignoring it, he decided to write the story of this anime on his own, and four years have passed since that day.
Now, he spends his time entering and leaving this anime, constantly writing everything that happens within the anime, and submitting it to random anime enthusiasts willing to put it on TV. Behind the scenes, he watches everything that happens and writes the events down on paper in his own world.

Strengths: Extremely Observant; Highly Determined; Very Persuasive

Weaknesses: Can’t Handle Hostile Situations; Has An Anger Management Issue. If you piss him off or force him to fight, you had better be ready to die, or at least be brought to the hospital.

Fighting Style(if any): only when he is angry, he fights with absolute brute strength that no normal human should ever have. Also, he can’t control himself, as he isn’t conscious when he is in this state.

What can manipulate this character without them noticing?: Surprisingly very little; his observation of everything makes it almost impossible to manipulate him. However, if a person can act very well and be completely friendly, they can easily get past him mental defenses.

He also has an anger issue that he finally has control over. When people anger him beyond his breaking point, he loses all consciousness and begins to attack anyone dumb enough to get in his intended path.

An explanation.

Ohhh, of course, I'll edit the history and ect. Thanks for the explanation though, does this also mean the real world characters can watch themselves on the show?

[link23454]

That is a story element. Depending on the story track, there are multiple chances of seeing your characters from the anime in the real world on the TV anime version.

[Sapphire]

I'd like for this to actually work out, do I hear support for a reboot.
