@Cleopatra If it's open, then I'll wait for my rolls before working on the sheet, since it'll help with my decision on whether I bring my violent jerkass berserker girl back, or if I write up a new one.
It looks like this has enough people, but if there comes a point when the players themselves fall to despair and bail out, feel free to mention tag or PM me; I'm definitely interested in this.
As Yamato suspected, other heroes also started arriving at the scene, which was understandable considering the emergency broadcast. He stayed aside and observed as some of them started to predictably squabble among themselves, taking particular notice to the man in a gas mask and the dragon lady. For a brief moment he thought about intervening to defend the dragoness, but she seemed to take care of herself well enough in that regard. San-D squeaked from inside his scarf, and Yamato nodded; he saw with his Evil Eye that the bones had faint traces of magic to them, but not enough to pose a credible threat to the city. Whatever danger there was lurked inside the castle.
Yamato nodded in response to the words of the red vigilante who just arrived. Undead constructs, while fearsome due to their immortality, always needed a source of magic to keep them revived. He was about to respond to him when he felt how someone attempted to infiltrate his mind through magic, and tensed up; his Evil Eye glowed bright red as it prevented the spell from reaching him. However, he recognized the spell's magic signature, and let the message play out. As he assumed, it was the Master Of Business Administration, a hero of surprising power who has the talent to unite the heroes towards a common cause. He has fought with him in the past, and had respect for the unassuming man's skill in the use of magic. He accepted the call, knowing the synergy the two shared between their powers; the forbidden knowledge granted by his secret-unveiling sight would prove valuable when shared to others through a telepathic network.
Yamato's hamsters suddenly started squeaking more, and he wondered what caused their uproar when his eyes landed on the heroine known as Domino, who turned up at the scene riding her automobile. She was also one of the people Yamato has worked with in the past, and so his expression developed a smirk as she hopped out, as full of life as ever. "Greetings, Melodious Maiden. It has been far too long since we have last seen, indeed." When she turned around to look at something, Yamato focused on the source of the disturbance with his cursed pupil, and also saw the pirate ship. Not only that, he caught a glimpse of the man who commandeered the ancient vessel-turned modern battering ram. "Captain Pierrot..." He slowly worded out as he clenched his teeth and balled up his fist. He then ran to Domino's car and hopped inside. "We must make haste, oh Siren of Songs, for the brutish buccaneers will surely break other buildings and bludgeon any civilians in them." It was then that the magic in the mound of bones finally awakened and the half-skeleotons began their assault. He trusted the heroes present including the White Knight to handle them. "Leave these deathly remains to be buried by sword and sorcery, and let us move on to Pierrot's perilous pirates; these marauders will find that the sea they sail on is not a calm one, but blown by a storm of retribution!" @tanderbolt@Driving Park
A lone figure stood and watched some flying birds from atop a tall tower. His purple scarf swayed in the air as he stayed precariously at the edge, his arms crossed and his eyes over the city, enjoying the light of the sun as it rose above Megatropolis. He heard peculiar sounds among the usual noise, and recognized it as the call for heroes such as himself. A small hamster climbed out of the confines of his scarf, and climbed up to his shoulder. It nibbled his ear, and squaked. Yamato smiled.
"Indeed, San-D. The winds of change are singing of the crawling twilight. Destiny has chosen me to guide this world into its ultimate fate. Let us hasten our steps, and embrace the call. I smell a hunt of a fiend most foul." Without hesitating, he stepped off the building, and spread his arms as he fell down at a high speed. "Come to me, Jan-P, and spread your glorious wings! Awaken!" A hamster leaped out of his scarf, and in a flash of magical power, transformed into a beautiful giant falcon of silver. His wings shone brilliantly as they spread; Mirage Silver Falcon Jan-P caught Yamato on his back, and whisked him away across the setting sky.
Jan-P turned invisible as it approached the mound of bones. Once close enough, Yamato had him turn back into a hamster, and safely landed nearby to avoid drawing any unnecessary attention. He brushed off his jacket, and scratched the hamster under his ears. "Thank you for the swift ride today, Jan-P. You have done well," he softly spoke to the little rodent, and then nonchalantly stepped closer to the mysterious location.
“Truly I am mankind's natural foe! Evil incarnate! A walking cataclysm! A shapeless insanity! The Beastmaster of DESPAIR!”
Personality Personality: Yamato speaks in grand gestures and overblown histrionics, making his every word brim larger than life. He also treats even mundane people and events immensely significant and special, embellishing them and adding his own perceived reality upon them. He considers himself to be quite a ladies-man, though his disjointed perception from reality pushes away anyone he puts his moves on. Though he constantly proclaims himself to be evil and attempting to take over the world, it is a fake persona for his true nature of being kind and caring, especially to his pets whom he treasures, and animals in general due to being an animal breeder.
Powers: -The Four Dark Devas of Destruction: Yamato's scarf is home to four hamsters who are Yamato's primary means of combating his enemies. They are loyal to him, and come to his aid when called upon. Yamato can use his power as Beastmaster Overlord to awaken all of their true forms, turning them into fearsome creatures of great power, until they revert back when beaten or commanded by Yamato. They include the following members:
*Cham-P: The hamster that fits inside Yamato’s scarf easily despite his large size. His awakened form is Invading Black Dragon, a mythic creature of legendary origin only bested in sheer strength by Maga-Z. He is able to fly using scaly wings and breathe green fire. Yamato rides on his back when he enters combat, as befits an Overlord.
*San-D: The hamster that always looks like she’s having fun. Her awakened form is Star-Destroyer Grey Fox. She is the swiftest of the four, able to run at the speed of light despite being the size of a motorcycle, leaving only trails of white light from her glowing fangs. Yamato may ride on her for lightning-fast travel.
*Jan-P: The hamster that’s always taking a nap in a precarious place. His awakened form is Mirage Silver Falcon, an avian predator the size of an aeroplane that soars through the skies. His glistening wings mesmerize, confuse, and can even put to sleep any weak-willed being who looks at them. His feathers can also turn light-refractive, turning him and his rider completely invisible and making him perfect for Yamato to ride on if he needs to travel undetected.
*Maga-Z: The hamster that has a torn ear that makes him look tough. His awakened form is Crimson Steel Elephant, the slowest, but also the most powerful of the Devas, able to sunder the earth with his stomps, crush buildings with his imposing frame and pierce through anything with his adamantium tusks. His trunk can also constrict and crush bones, and his diamond-hard skin is virtually impenetrable. He is often mistaken for one of the monsters that attack the city.
Weapons: Yamato wields no weapons, for he fully believes in the power of his Four Dark Devas of Destruction.
Fighting Style: Yamato directs his beloved pet hamsters against his enemies while riding one of them as a mount, often hanging back and watching the ensuing carnage. He is also versed in the use of a couple of forbidden arts.
Signature Moves: -The Evil Eye: Yamato has a magical eye that allows him to see a far distance, through walls, illusion magic and trickery and hypnotize animals and make them do his bidding. Yamato can also use it to see his opponent's moves before they are done, but continuous use of the power drains him. He also can't avoid moves he physically can't dodge, such as bullets and sound-speed attacks.
-Infinity Unlimited Flame: A dangerous power Yamato only uses as a last resort or in dire circumstances: he releases the magical bindings of his sinister arm, and unleashes an ever-consuming blaze from his cursed palm. The fire replicates through oxygen alone, spreading into the air and to every surface like a wildfire from a nightmare until Yamato stops the spell, is knocked unconscious, or the world has burned to ashes. The power also eats away at Yamato's arm, consuming bits from it as long as the inferno rages on.
History: Yamato is a Beastmaster, a member of a clan of animal breeders that hide themselves from society and practice the forbidden art of "Awakening", a technique that releases the unbound energy of animals and turns them into Yokai-like entities. Only the greatest Beastmasters, who are titled Overlords, can master the art and have complete control over the awakened beasts. After Yamato gained the title of Overlord he set out with his four trusted companions and use his skills to protect the natural order of the world, and stands vigilantly in watch over the city.
Skills: Yamato is the Ultimate Breeder, and thus knows all there is to know about animal breeding and handling. He always has a bag of seeds ready to use, and he can imitate animal and bird calls fluently.
Weaknesses: The Four Dark Devas of Destruction turn back into hamsters when Yamato is rendered unconscious or otherwise disabled. He himself has no ability for close quarters combat, and can be easily taken out by a persistent enemy.
Nemesis: (There is an original character I can provide as a nemesis to Yamato if requested.)
Story Arc Ideas: -Him meeting his nemesis, see above
There's certainly a lot of submissions. I'm wondering if it's possible to split the group into smaller ones once we get actually started, if only so it won't turn into a clusterfuck?
I'm interested in making a character, though I'm not sure if you'll accept another heteromorphic character such as an illithid/mind flayer. It can also take some time to do the sheet since I'm not that familiar with the novels and there's plenty of numbers to crunch.
