I'm having way too much fun with my Legend of Zelda Encylopedia. This is the game that got me into roleplaying so have a lot invested in it's lore and stories. Too bad can't have all the games too.

We'll be reaching fight climax soon where you are free to go ham to your hearts content. Maybe one more monster post before we get there.
@WindsOfFate

I can't speak for the players, but as a GM I knew I was going to have to address this issue eventually. We are only on our second monster so I was still feeling things out but knew I would have to do something eventually. The power set and level of Yuri was proving to be a little problematic for the monsters to effectively counter without me just going completely crazy with their powers. In general it should be the players figuring out strategies to counter the monster and not the other way around.

Yuri can still work but you just need to keep some of his 'original' power in check for the role play to proceed smoothly. My worst fear was that I might have to go overboard with a monster to counter Yuri's magic but have to make them too powerful in the process for other characters to feel like they could really contribute.
Coral City - SeaShell Bakery



"Such destructive creatures aren't they. Tell you what, patch me through to your creators and I won't completely decimate you, and might even try your disgusting confections."

The Duchess was about to retort, especially against the disgusting part, when another person appeared nearby and proceeded to douse the entire area with water. The water splashed over a few muffin men and the duchess which really put a downer on things and made her dress all soggy. One of her eyes twitched in annoyance at the annoying splashing.

"I'd listen to my friend, shortcake, unless you want to end up like the gingerbread man. Your stuff's actually not half bad, you'd make a killer confectionary if you'd just chill out."

"Humph, at least you have the faintest inkling about the greatest of my creations, unlike bug boy, even if you do know how to ruin a good cake. Ugh, I'll never be able to wring all this water out! That being said I don't need to."

At her proclamation her internal temperature suddenly rose violently as she essentially 'baked' herself. Steam rose from her dress as the water was removed through heat and her frosting like hair boiled like mad. Once she felt dry enough her temperature settled back down and she looked back at the partially destroyed Bakery, noticing that all the captives had been evacuated by a rather large insectoid creature.

"I see you seem intent on rescuing those who would undoubtedly be much happier in my hands. How could you try and deny them of the ultimate pleasure of life? Sweet delectables to stimulate the tongue to the greatest heights imaginable! Well you'll have another chance soon, as my greatest masterpiece to date is ready for its first reveal. Behold the Cake of Delights!"

Spreading her arms out in triumph she watched with glee as the largest cake imaginable suddenly exploded out of the roof of the SeaShell Bakery, pretty much flattening what was left of the place. The cake was gigantic, reaching over three stories tall and tiered much like a fancy wedding cake. The cake was armed to the nines with candy weaponry, candy cane ballista, bubbling hot chocolate sauce cannons, lollipop javelins, and frosting men manning the various stations. The frosting men, unlike the muffin men from before, where not separate entities but rather just extensions of the cake, which like the muffin men were connected to Duchess Confectionary.

As the cake started to roll out in the street the Duchess turned back to the party poopers at her doorstep.

"Oh such a wonderful thing is it not? You can continue to resist and miss out on partaking of my wonderful confections, or you can willing choose to become one with the cake and live in perpetual candy land! I can assure you the taste is to die for! Unfortunately I can sense that you will resist to the end, such a pity."

The Duchess drove a hand into her own chest and dug out from it a long, very long nerd candy rope. Once it was all out it was over two meters long. She gave it a quick flick of the wrist and the rope became a whip in her hands, when it cracked on the ground, dozens of large nerds scattered in all directions like little missiles, though any that reach the Duchess were quickly absorbed back into her flesh and clothing. The rest of the nerds from the crack of the whip were like little stones from a sling, or like the shrapnel from a grenade.

"OhOHOHO! Welcome to my banquet everyone! Don't worry, I'll let you live if you'll let me! After all, I want people to enjoy my deserts as much as I do!"

With a maniacal grin, she commanded the Cake of delights to go forward into the street and suddenly a sort of candy paste spread over her entire body, which hardened into some kind of hard candy plate armor of different varieties, giving the armor a smudged rainbow like appearance. She stepped forward toward Yuri and Luna with the cake rolling in behind her. While she should have been more annoyed with Luna for dousing her in water, she was more furious at Yuri for calling her creations 'DISGUSTING'.

She flicked the nerd rope whip with blinding speed at the monarch user, hoping to catch him in her clutches, but if not the exploding nerds would still be getting work done. Meanwhile the moving cake made sure to go around the Duchess so as not to get in her way while the frosting men manned their stations and started to rain down destructive candy on Luna and anyone else nearby. Candy cane ballista bolts, streams of hot chocolate cannons searing enough to leave 3rd degree burns and lollipop shurikens rained down from the ridiculously large cake and its frosting men. Essentially it was like a mountain of heart-stopping sugar had descended on the city.

Thankfully at this point, despite the upgrades, the numbers of the muffin men were dwindling at a very great rate. Any remains of the muffin men were quickly absorbed by the cake as it moved over the battlefield like an unstoppable colossus.
@Nyxira Looks good to me
@Conejitoooo Aye, this is a jump-in role-play, thought I think technically yours would be the first 'jump-in' I've actually had so far, everyone else has been here from the start.

Short explanation right now is Coral City is under attack from Duchess Confectionary, a monster with control over sweets. She has minions called muffin men who are pretty much what they sound like. They've recently been upgraded with explosive souffles that expand on impact and engulf whatever is around them. The production of them has pretty much stopped at this point but there are still quite a few around.

Most people are congregating toward SeaShell Bakery where the Duchess has made her production line. Next monster reaction is probably going to happen in the next day or two.

"Born on a Monday. Born on a MONDAY!"

Solomon Grundy is a character that keeps getting reset, since every time he 'dies', he just comes back up from Slaughter Swamp in Gotham. What I want for Grundy is for him to actually try to live for once and attempt to discover his niche in the world. Grundy will start off as a pretty typical low-IQ hard hitter but the longer he 'lives' in this cycle, the more he'll start to remember things from his original life and therefore grow as a 'new' Grundy.

A B I L I T I E S:

Grundy is a zombie, a super-strength meat shield that is almost impossible to kill. Since Grundy is technically already dead he is essentially immortal so that even if he does get obliterated, he'll just revive back in Slaughter Swamp after a set amount of time, sort of like a respawn point. As they don't want Grundy to respawn the suicide bomb switch is more of a method to incapacitate Grundy until they can retrieve him, but can be used to destroy if they don't want him to fall into enemy hands.

C H A R A C T E R M O T I V A T I O N S & G O A L S:

Solomon Grundy is usually just used these days as a big baddie to stand in a hero's way but his intelligent incarnations and rather tragic backstory are quite fascinating. A monster that has based his identity around a children's nursery rhyme because he has forgotten who he was, but what if Grundy had the chance and the intelligence to really understand himself instead of getting reset into a new Grundy with each defeat? I hope to explore who Solomon Grundy can become if he is given the chance to rediscover himself and learn how to function in society.

The obvious role for Grundy on the suicide squad is to be the vanguard and just push his way to whatever objective needs to be demolished. Also the most likely pick to tackle any super strong villain threats since he can both take a hit and dish out more. This incarnation of Grundy has decided, rather unconsciously, to stick around with the Suicide Squad to see if something different would happen. Rather than rampaging on his own, will being directed by someone else's hands for 'good' lead to Grundy taking a different path in his un-life?

C H A R A C T E R N O T E S:

Solomon Grundy has also been noted to have some connection to The Green, a sort of collective consciousness with plant life. He has also had the ability to manipulate wood though he will have almost no connection to it at the start, but might grow into his 'green' powers as the story progresses.

He won't be quite as 'hulking' as some of his other versions. He will still be a large, well-built zombie standing at 6'5" but not extraordinarily huge like a lot of his more recent appearances.

R E L A T I O N S H I P S:

Grundy no like weird men, but no kill cause told not to.

Was considering Killer Croc too, but Solomon Grundy feels like I can explore a bit more with him.


Supreme Sapphire




The suit was something she had hoped to never wear again. Being forced to come back to fighting weirdos was not Suzanna's idea of a good time. It had been interesting at first sure, all those years ago, but now as an adult woman who was trying rather hard to find a good boyfriend, galavanting through the city smashing baddies was nice for a teenager with time on their hands but now it was just an aggravating extra chore. She had a cushy job at an office, nice co-workers, even a few cute guys to flirt with, but all that was being pushed to the side because some alien had decided to trash the city.

It wasn't just that she didn't want to fight again, the suit itself was also...well, uncomfortable to wear. It had been designed for her when she was younger and certain...areas had gotten a bit plump over the years. Thankfully the suit had some stretch to it but getting her ass into those pants had not been a fun exercise, everything was just too, blasted, TIGHT!

"They had better pay for the alterations when this is over, damn it!"

Suzanna clenched her teeth from behind her helmet as she ran down the street toward the SeaShell Bakery. Up ahead were three muffin men with one holding onto a poor child about ten years old being stuffed with sugary sweets. Suzanna skidded to a halt and pointed at the stuffer man holding the child.

"Release that child at once you malshaped pastry or face my wrath!"

The muffin man looked at the blue suit clad hero like she had lost her mind.

"What are you talking about? This child came up and begged us to feed him!"

The other two muffin men nodded their heads in agreement as the child greedily started to talk between bits of baked goodness.

"My mother *snarf*, never lets me *chomp*, eat like this *gulp*. These guys offered me all the sweets I could eat! *Chomp Chomp* No way was I gonna say no to free desert. *Burp*"

As the kid chewed and talked at the same time Suzanna felt a vein on her forehead pop and she started to tremble all over in anger.

"So what you're saying kid, is I was called away from my nice job, and the first thing I find is some child liking what he happening to him from evil aliens...you STUPID KID! Your mother is just trying to make sure you eat healthfully and the first thing you do when strangers, ALIENS even, came to town is go with them for some CANDY!"

As Suzanna's voice got louder and louder, the kid and the muffin men's faces started to go pale as what appeared to be energy started to pulse off of her suit in waves.

"I'm gonna save you kid and you're gonna like it or so help me I'll make sure your mother knows that you can get kidnapped if a random man gives you a SNACK! SAPPHIRE PUNCH!!!"

Without warning, she seemed to vanish from her position a few meters away and her fist had already blown a hole through the muffin man offering the kid sweets. His structural integrity destroyed, he crumbled to the ground and collapsed on the child, covering him in muffin remnants. She quickly turned on the next muffin man who tried to hit her with a rock candy club but she slid under it and swiped its feet from under it.

Making short work of the downed muffin man, the next threw a souffle at her but she quickly dodged out of the way and charged him as well with a tackle to the ground. On top of the muffin man she threw fist after fist at its body, taking chunk after chunk until there was just the shell of a muffin remaining. She stood up from the remains and turned to the kid who had just managed to crawl out from the muffin corpse he had been trapped under.

"I swear, if you ever pull something like this again kid I'll make sure your mother grounds you for a year! Ya hear me! A freaken YEAR!"

The kid nodded in absolute terror as he stared up at her masked face, after she was certain the kid got the message she quickly continued on her way toward SeaShell Bakery, determined to pound some dough and deep-fry anything that survived her pounding. No stupid pastry was going to stand inbetween her and a normal life!
From a roleplay I tried to make but really didn't really leave the ground. Mostly saving for if I want to try something similar again.

The Powerpuff Girls!


Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup



Powers And Abilities:
The Powerpuff Girls have superhuman strength, agility, and durability making them extremely tough. Perhaps most impressive is their ability to fly without any assistance at potentially supersonic speeds. Aside from their general powers each girl has their own unique skills. Blossom has an ice breath ability, Bubbles has a supersonic voice plus the ability to communicate with animals and in other languages, Buttercup has heat-vision and is able to curl her tongue. While each is strong on their own their true power is when they can work together to take down their foes, or survive a night at a high school social gathering.


Origin And Backstory:
Professor Utonium was a genius scientist who had it all, wealth, fame, and his beautiful wife, Anna. He was working on a new substance that seemed to have the remarkable ability to transform and strengthen anything it came in contact with; however the effects were unpredictable to say the least so his testing was limited to say the least. As the chemical was a complete unknown variable he decided to name it Chemical X like the much used Algebraic variable in math.

His inventions brought him great renown and fame but his happiest moment was when he learned that his wife was pregnant with triplets. Doctor Utonium was over the moon with joy and all his colleagues could say he was the happiest man in the world, but then Anna got sick and started to deteriorate. No doctor could help her so the distraught doctor could only come to one conclusion, he had to bet it all on Chemical X. As he prepared a batch of the stuff however one of his lab monkeys managed to escape from his cage and having a bit of a sweet tooth and being a kleptomaniac, swiped sugar, spice, and random nice things he could find. The doctor chased him around but while he did, the monkey dropped his items which fell into the vat, broke a small vial of storage chemical X for small testing purposes and escaped the lab.

The doctor had no time for another batch and the Chemical X already absorbed the items, leaving the doctor no choice but to use the contaminated batch in a desperate attempt to save his wife and his children. After drinking the batch, Anne fell into a deep sleep for a while but seemed to recover somewhat. Soon afterward, she gave birth to triplets but died in the process due to complications. The triplets however were quite lively and strangely enough had quite different appearances to each other, so much so that Utonium could only attribute the differences as a byproduct of the Chemical X. He named his daughters Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup in memory of the things Anne loved and somewhat secluded himself from the rest of the scientific community so he could focus on raising his daughters more.

As they grew up he began to notice strange things happening with his daughters, floating off the ground, picking up heavy objects without breaking a sweat, rarely bleeding, once even setting the curtains on fire by staring at them too intensely. Quickly the doctor had to teach them self-control so they wouldn’t accidentally destroy the neighborhood. Once the girls had become twelve, strange crimes and events starting happening around them and before long, the girls were thrust into battle when Doctor Utonium was kidnapped by his previous lab monkey, Mojo Jojo in order to get his hands on the Chemical X formula.

The girls quickly tracked down the evil monkey and defeated him, saving their father and giving birth to the dynamic superhero team, the Powerpuff Girls! Currently the girls are fifteen years old and just starting high school where they try to find balance between their normal lives and superhero ones. It won’t be long before they’ll have to save more than just their town, maybe even the world!
