Note: Osamu Akiyama is not the same person as Osamu Ichijouji; that is all.

Osamu Akiyama

Osamu Akiyama's CS and my work as him.

Name: Osamu Akiyama

Age: 18

Appearance:


Powers:

Demon Summoning Program - A special kind of programming code that duplicates a summoning ritual.

Osamu is skilled in Negotiation, Superscience and, since meeting Naoki for the second time, Sorcery. He is also an expert in making Magitech Weapons. To compensate for this, though, Osamu lacks any fighting ability whatsoever, and has to rely in Horus for battle.

Horus' Stats

Weaknesses:

Flunky Dependence - Osamu, as mentioned, lacks fighting ability and overrelies on Tech, Magic, and Horus for battle. He also is reluctant to face his opponents head-on, because he knews they can beat him easily. Rather, he's a good-guy version of that person who sends out constant waves of minions/subordinates at you until you get to their lair and stomp them.

Preperation Requirement - Osamu needs time in order to prepare any game-winning gadget or magical ritual, as well as protection from anyone who might sneak up on him, as interrupting his gadget-building/magical ritual would make said processes useless.

Bio: The son of Ryo Akiyama and Ruki Makino/Rika Nonaka, Osamu was a genius like his unfortunate namesake in another universe. Interested in the 'Digital World' that his parents would tell him stories about, Osamu would begin doing research on how to link the two dimensions back together from a very young age, although he saved time to play with his friends, Rai Matsuki/Matsuda and Lucy Lee/Wong, who, unlike him, disbelieved in their parents' stories of the Digital World. Finally, at the age of 10, Osamu Akiyama discovered, with help from the organization HYPNOS, the secret to interdimensional travel...and that was when things went wrong, for Osamu didn't find a way back to the Digital World.

Rather, he found a Tokyo riven by an apocalypse, where creatures similar to Digimon, called 'Demons', roamed the ruins of this once-great city. In this world, the only hero was a person called the 'Demi-Fiend', a human with the powers of a Demon and the ability to call them to his side. And the opening of the gate between his world and 'Ruined Tokyo' was a surprise to both Osamu and the Demi-Fiend, as well as HYPNOS, who tried to close the gate, but too late - the Demons of the Shin Megami Tensei universe were preparing to invade!

Realizing the threat, Osamu Akiyama allied with the Demi-Fiend, repurposing Hypnos' former weapons (intended against Rogue Digimon) in order to combat Demons, and the Demi-Fiend was able to return his version of Tokyo to normal.

But Osamu was frightened now; who knows what horrors lurked in the Multiverse? He also knew this, though; that only Digimon can give his world an edge against other Universes. And so, he tried again, and this time, succeeded in reunifying his parents, as well as Rai and Lucy's, with their old Digimon Partners. But...there was another disappointment; even though the Digital World was open, no Digimon would choose to be partners with him.

So, the boy, 13 now, resumed his dimensional research, trying to find out why he can't have a Digimon Partner. And, cautiously, this time, Osamu opened a portal to another universe...the Pokemon one. It was a wonderful place, although the hobby of 'Pokemon Battling' distubed him. Nevertheless, it was time to seek out allies. He found them in three people, one of them an idiot of the lowest caliber - Ash Ketchum/Satoshi.

Making his own journey, Osamu found that while he can make friends with Pokemon, he lacked the gift of making a lasting partnership with them, meaning that he had to rely on his technology to defend himself from Wild Pokemon attacks and Team Rocket. Finally, however, he found the allies he needed; the Pokemon League itself. After signing a treaty between them and HYPNOS, Osamu went back to his own world...and found the Demi-fiend waiting for him there.

Once the shock faded from Osamu's face, the Demi-Fiend, introducing himself as Naoki Kashima, then handed the boy a 'Demon Summoning Program', as well as a contract with Demon of his own, Horus*. After some more surprise, Osamu asked Horus what he thought of the transfer of contractors, and after the Demon replied that he had no objections to it, the boy accepted the program, contract, and his new partner with open arms...

The Host of Balance (Digimon, Pokemon, and Shin Megami Tensei Crossover.)

I. Intro

Intro

A long time ago, there were two kinds of being, Humans and Demons, supernatural beings created from the power of human worship and desire. These two races spread across multiple worlds, engulfing them in endless conflict over ideals of law and chaos, light, dark, and grey. But some humans sought a way out of this struggle, and in multiple worlds and timelines, created entities that were derived from Demons, but not the same. These are the origins of Pokemon and Digimon, whose lesser, but still-great, struggles would go unnoticed by the Demons and the Humans who still lived with them.

Until one day, in one universe, Nanashi, a being given the powers of 'Godslaying' by the Demon Dagda, observed the state of the Multiverse, ruled over by the mad God of Law, YHVH, and opposed by Lucifer, the capricious and untrustworthy Fallen Angel of Chaos, as well as the Polytheistic Alliance, guided by Krishna, Odin, and Maitreya, who seek to subjugate humanity in their own way. Nanashi, encouraged by Dagda, decided to kill all three factions, but ran into the problem that as YHVH was born from the innate human need for law and order, and will regenerate from human emotions if defeated, he can only be permanently killed if all humans who can potentially worship him, aka every man, woman, and child that lives, are destroyed in turn.

Needless to say, in one universe, Nanashi took that decision. Killing the version of YHVH in his world and seating himself atop the Creator God's throne to take his place, the 'Godslayer' gathered his two formerly human servants, Flynn, a once-hero of Humanity ressurected and brainwashed to serve Nanashi, and the Artificial Goddess, one of Nanashi's former companions forced into the role of consort and mother of a new Human race. Together, they would create an army of Demons and 'new men' who would eradicate all of YHVH's potential followers all across the Multiverse, cleansing them of life in order to ensure that once Humanity was created anew, they would know no authority to rule them.

And he would not overlook the worlds that weren't inhabited by Demons, but by Pokemon and Digimon. He would kill everything there, as well, so as to liberate the Multiverse from YHVH's existence...

II. The Mon Alliance and Types of 'Mon'

The Mon Alliance

However, this genocidal - no, omnicidal - agenda would not go unopposed. When Nanashi's armies struck several universes at once, a being known as the Demi-Fiend, a human who had been given demonic powers, went to the worlds of Pokemon and Digimon in order to arrange an alliance between each sector of the Multiverse. Receiving a reasonable answer, the Demi-Fiend, introducing himself as Naoki Kashima, would meet with three others, Red, the Pokemon Champion, and Taichi Yagami, the greatest of all Chosen Children/Digidestined, and Aigis, a humanoid robot from the Persona sub-section of the Shin Megami Tensei universe. And together, they would form the Mon Alliance, and its armed branch, the Host of Balance.

Here are the types of 'Mon' (Digimon, Pokemon, Demons, and Personas, a subtype of Demons):

Digimon

'Digital Monsters' made up of computer data given form by human emotions, Digimon are very close to Demons in power, and can sometimes even exceed them, but are friendlier to Humans than their ancestors. They live in various 'Digital Worlds' that coexist with each version of Earth in the Multiverse...

Pokemon

'Pocket Monsters' descended from the fusion of Demons and Animals, Pokemon are the easiest to 'train' and 'domesticate', meaning that they can be fielded in much greater numbers than Digimon, Demons, and Personas/Personae. To balance this nunbers advantage, they are weaker than Demons, Personae, and Digimon.

Demons

The original race of monsters, Demons are born from human emotions and concepts, with the most powerful of them being called 'Gods'. Demons, when unleashed into an unsuspecting Earth, are fond of waging epic conflicts about Law, Chaos, and Neutrality, with some preying on Humans for food and spiritual energy, while others are relatively friendly to people. They can be 'contracted' by 'Demon Summoners', the original Trainers/Tamers/Chosen through bribery, persuasion, or Human-to-Demon combat. Note however that once the contract ends, the Demon can choose to turn against their 'employers'...

Personas/Personae

A subtype of Demon originating in the 'Collective Unconcious', individual Personas/Personae are born directly from the minds of human beings, and are less their own being, and more a distinct part of the psyche. This gives them a direct bond with people that allows them to be instantly powered by their wielder's emotions...

NCQuest: A Mecha RP - The Relief of Cape Town [Continuity Reboot - Defense of Darwin has been Retconned Out]

NCQuest: A Mecha RP - The Relief of Cape Town



The Lore Thread

The year is 2577, 500 years after a Nuclear War that ended the Age of the Nation-State. Now, the world is split between Independents; settlements and towns living a hardscrabble life in the wastelands, and the Ruling Corporations, eight large organizations that have seized large portions of the planet and its people for themselves. The majority of the Ruling Corporations' personnel are tyrannical and arbitrary, twisted by long isolation from the masses whose work supports their way of life. The average person in Corporate territory lives in fear, bowed down by heavy burdens in a soulless environment, before dying quickly and painfully.

Complicating the picture are the Neural Combatants (NCs), giant humanoid machines left behind by the nations of the world before everything burned in nuclear fire. Using technology that binds together brain and machine, all NCs have Cores that cannot yet be duplicated by even the most advanced Corporation; these Cores, when attached to a body, allow the pilot to conduct feats of strength and speed that borders on the supernatural. In essence, Neural Combatants use technology that makes Mecha work; the impractical made practical. The more NC Cores a Corporation has, the better they are in the constant warfare that covers the planet today.

But now, that balance is changing. With the help of stolen research from the other Ruling Corporations, Tshwane Mining Inc., the rulers of Sub-Saharan Africa, have done the impossible: Rediscover how to create new NC Cores. This gives them the potential to manufacture legions of new Mechs, and thus disturb the finely held balance between the Ruling Corps.

Now, Cape Town in South Africa, where the initial research was done, is being besieged by the Denver-Vegas, Fairbanks, and Paragon Corporations; all three have invested in a gigantic army to conduct said siege, while Volkov, the very strongest Ruling Corp has pressured Tshwane's ally, Al-Amir Group of Companies, to stay in the Middle East lest it faces destruction from the north.

So Tshwane's CEO, Katlego Kgosi, has resorted to desperate measures: He has called upon Haven, the collection of Independents that still rule Australia, to provide the help other Corporations would not provide; Haven, despite being wary of the nearby Red-Star Corporation's intentions, still has forces to spare for a relief expedition - particularly as Katlego has offered a tantalizing prize; a copy of the research on creating new NC Cores!

Consult the Lore Thread linked above if you want more info.

What does the Continuity Reboot Mean?

Basically, Defense of Darwin, the 'previous' BeeNCQuest RP, never happened. Red-Star never came back to invade Haven, Osamu Akiyama never did his disgusting actions (and if he still exists in this continuity, has more characterization than 'sadistic freak'), and Alexander Sky and Mako Shintai didn't have entire sub-arcs devoted to them (they also defected to Haven early). This is the first Bee NCQuest RP in a new continuity, and every player is starting without reference to the previous one.

Rules

1.) No godmoding, metagaming, or mary sues.
2.) Be civil.
3.) Do not be an asshole.
4.) Post length is five sentences minimum, but longer posts are encouraged, of course. GMs are also bound by this rule.
5.) Antagonists (Paragon, Denver-Vegas, and Fairbanks) need special GM Permission to be allowed.
6.) Consult the Lore Thread (linked under the picture) if you want to know more about how NCs, Independents, and Corporations work.
