The Wards: A Grimdark Teenage Superhero Story

"Hello!" Andrew said as he waved hi to Carmen, noticing that he was no longer the youngest member of the group now. "What's your name? Mine's Andy!"

Do not neglect people. Do not let them feel left out. The fact that you were even considering it just because Wilbur is so damn cute is a black mark on your character, Andrew Bennett. Speaking of Will... Andrew then turned back to answer him and Scraprig and dropped the bombshell, "I volunteered. I'm an orphan living in the orphanage near the docks and I wanted a new home - Aka this place's dorms - and money. I know it's too late to get a family now that I'm 14, but I presume that I can get a bit of financial independence."

He then smiled at everyone and said, unironically, "And as Anime and TV Shows say, there is a high chance that you will be my new family. So take care of me."

Glancing at Caiden/Crosspoint, Andrew tried to measure the tall youth's personal hope, even as he pondered changing his hair to a silvery shade right now; he had been planning to do so when he started patrolling, but he was guessing that if he did this right, he could make it look like he was emulating his 'Senpai' by doing so... Or offend the guy beyond measure. After some thought, the boy decided not to do it. Instead, he said, "Anyway, if we're voting for a leader, I vote Overclock!"

He then glanced at Fukuda, knowing even at his current state of mind that the latter was cringing at his behavior because he was socially awkward and probably sounded like a nutjob. The boy at least hoped that he sounded wholesome and enthusiastic, not... Something which would turn off everyone.

It's not as if his thoughts about Wilbur weren't deserving of condemnation. Not because he liked another boy but because he was having these thoughts about someone he wasn't sure was going to like him back or even thought of other boys like... That. Actually, even if Wilbur did like other boys, he might not like him for some reason or other, like his social awkwardness, his oversharing (if he was oversharing) or just because he didn't like how Andrew looked.

Never did it occur to him that it was because he volunteered to be a 'Hero' in the first place or because Wilbur found him talking about them being his potential family cringe-worthy. Glancing at Wilbur and his expression for a moment, the boy then turned to the Director, "By the way, what's the pay? I haven't bought my own clothes since ever!"

A signal that he still regarded the shopping trip with Wilbur and the others as 'on' and wanted it to be such...

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Freedom of Devils

Double-Post

Pilot

Name: Martyn Light (Martin En-Issue)

Appearance:


Age: 18

Background: The En-Issue Family was a cadet branch of the Issue Family which claimed to have branched off from the Main House a full hundred years ago, doing the things which the Issues were too 'honorable' to dirty their hands with. This caused them to resent the Main House, and later, when the latter's last member died out, they resented McGillis Fareed for taking over the Issue Family's assets instead of letting them (Martyn's parents) have it. And when McGillis himself fell seven to eight years ago, they found, to their dsiappointment, that the new leader of Gjallarhorn, Rustal Elion, would rather abolish the Seven Stars system where a number of noble families held a monopoly on military power than let them have what they were 'entitled' to.

So in a huff, the En-Issue family left for space with half-assed intentions of going to the Jupiter Colonies to 'live it up' as upper class nobles and maybe even start a conspiracy or two against Rustal Elion and his pragmatic attempts to purge the corruption in Gjallarhorn that he himself had turned a bline eye to (at best) until McGillis Fareed's attempt at revolution. They never made it that far.

For they were intercepted by pirates on the way and Martyn's parents were robbed and killed while Martyn himself was taken captive and turned into Human Debris. This shift in life taught the boy not to take anything for granted, even the knowledge of how to read and write which he had enjoyed before his captivity and which was lacking among many of his peers. Actually, it took him some time for him to think of his fellow Human Debris as friends and even equals, realizing that despite their lack of education and refinement... They were children like him.

And he had a duty to earn his freedom, fight for their rights as well as his' own, and eventually, considering what he knew and what his parents have taught him, break the system which only cleaned up its act only under duress. That's right; if Tekkadan and McGillis can do it, why couldn't he with the benefit of hindsight?

Personality and Reputation: Martyn tries his best to sweet-talk his captors, particularly Carrot, into giving him information and extra food which he passes on to the rest of his group while trying to impress the other pirates through sheer prowess in battle against enemy Mobile Suits. He is also known for trying to keep the others in his team alive, as well as trying to earn his freedom from Human Debris-hood through 'loyal service' to the higher-ups. He has also tried to find spare time to teach some of the younger people how to read and write, something incredibly dangerous for his 'progress'...

Mobile Suits

Mobile Suit: gundam.fandom.com/wiki/UGY-R41_Man_Rodi
Name: Unit-4.
Frame: Rodi.
Appearance:

Hidden for Size

Equipment: As in the Wiki Link.

Mobile Suit: ASW-G-22 Gundam Ipos
Name: Gundam Ipos
Frame: ASW-G-22 Gundam Ipos
Appearance:

Hidden for Size

Equipment:

• Alaya Vijinana System
• Tampered Limiter System - Thanks to 'modifications' by its previous pilot, the Ipos' Limiter has been tampered with to be more easily shut down, boosting the Pilot's AV-System performance, which translates to dodging very well and attacking the enemy's weakest spot at the right time. However, this system can only run for three minutes every time the Pilot gets inside the Gundam; if the Pilot insists on continuing to use it, he suffers brain damage which causes him to lose control of all his limbs outside the Gundam.
• Ahab Thrusters (back and waist)
• Thermal Phase Transition Thrusters
• The Ipos is left weaponless in order to balance out the Tampered Limiter System and the benefits it brings the Pilot; Martyn will use his old MS' weapons instead as well as any weapons the other Pilots leave behind.

Great Multiverse War Rework

The Great Multiverse War - Saga of Battle!

Intro

A Multiverse in chaos!

Countless worlds and timelines burn under the threat of an alliance of villainy, a cross-world coalition that all too rarely asks for quarter or surrender, as they raze the universe to the ground. Tendrils of destruction have polluted the cosmos, and the tide of annihilation and entropy seems unstoppable. Scared and confused, unprepared worlds find themselves suddenly opened up to the vastness of not being anywhere close to alone. They cry out for heroes, saviors in their time of need, to rise up and defend their sovereignty and continued existence, and while some showed up, those few heroes were scattered, disorganized... and all too easily picked off.

Until recently.

A strange man -going simply by the name of "Interest"- appeared to many worlds, offering a way to join forces with those also seeking to preserve the basic right to exist. He has called upon the nations and worlds of the multiverse to resist the cold dark by forming an alliance, one that has come to be known as the New Multiverse Union Government (or N-MUG, as it is commonly referred to in slang). Even so, the worlds struggle with the tide of evil. And so, they have gathered a group of champions to act as surgical knives against the dark.

You are one of those knives. Villain? Hero? Oh, how these terms have lost their way. In truth, all the N-MUG cares about is survival and pushing back annihilation. To that end, they care not for the past, only the present. Any who are willing to fight for survival are treated with the highest honors, granted great leniency so long as their efforts destroy the enemy and benefit the alliance as a whole. And so, for reasons perhaps known only to yourself, you have joined this crusade and dedicated yourself to the mission of putting a stop to the wanton destruction.

------

Basically, this is an RP where you can play almost any character from almost any universe (restrictions are listed in The Rules); it is recommended that you join either the Imperium of Suffering or the New Multiverse Government, but you can make up your own faction if it is reasonable and not as strong as either Imperium or New Multiverse Government. Note that if you play a Custom Faction, you can eventually make it as powerful as the two 'Major Factions', but it will take a lot of hard work.

Power Levels

First up, original and canon characters are allowed, but ultra-powerful, ultra-perfect characters are restricted. My limits for what is allowed are:

- Able to carry entire cities on their backs for days on end.
- Move as fast as the speed of light on Earth.
- Travel interstellar distances by yourself and survive in space.
- Survive a nuclear explosion.
- Affect a city the size of New York with a single superscience/magical effect.
- Transporting large armies across universes by yourself

Characters more powerful than this are not allowed unless massively nerfed. As for characters who are just as powerful as this, only four PCs are allowed for the New Multiverse Government and Imperium of Suffering each, and four more are allowed in the game in general, as leaders of four separate Custom Factions. New custom factions beyond those four will just have to go without exceptionally powerful characters if they are made.

Rules

1.) No godmodding, powerplaying, metagaming, etc. etc.
2.) Anything above nudity must be taken to PMs.
3.) No OOC feuding! If you must argue, be respectful. IC, meanwhile, you can hate each other as much as you like as long as it doesn't seep over to OOC.
4.) Characters who are at the limit of what is acceptable will receive extra scrutiny, aka they are more likely to be rejected. Beware.
5.) Please notify me if you will be gone longer than a few days, I myself will let you guys know if I will be gone.
6.) Warhammer 40k characters are restricted; Warhammer 40k tech and magic is immensely powerful (according to fans) and might - might - outpower the majority of universes and make them impotent.
7.) Dragon Ball Z is restricted; Super Saiyans, Frieza's people, Kai's people, Buus, and Super Nameks are too overpowered for even this game. Everything else is allowed.
8.) Fate/Stay Night and other characters from the Nasuverse are restricted for the same reason as Warhammer 40k and Dragon Ball Z; they outpower the majority of universes as well plus some powers in Fate can destroy concepts.
9.) The Tone of the RP is 'Dark, but Optimistic'. Things are grim at first, but your characters are not supposed to be hopeless jerks about it, nor would basket cases be accepted. This world can be made fairer and its suffering will be reduced if the PCs do things right. So Imperium of Suffering Characters should expect to lose or die... eventually.
10.) Players control what elements of their PCs' home universes are brought in alongside said PCs in the RP. Should more than one player have characters from the same universe, they share control of elements of said PC's home universe. This is unless the GM interferes.

The Wards: A Grimdark Teenage Superhero Story

Andrew Bennett/Hope

Showing a surprising capability to ignore the confetti and the minor commotion this caused, Andrew put on his earbuds then walked over to Will, aka Gray Man, before saying, bluntly, "The earpieces work. Which is good, as we still have to go on that clothes-shopping trip." The boy smiled brightly before passing a hand over his hair, which started to turn silver, then suddenly turned black. "Note that The Wards pay us, so I'll be paying for my new clothes."

Then his smile turned to a light smirk as he continued, "You can pay for lunch, though; there's this coffeeshop - Which also sells sandwhiches - which I haven't been able to do more than look at for my entire life..."

Don't be pushy, Andrew! the young man thought to himself. This is the first time you've ever invited someone to lunch! And we don't even know if he, umm... Yeah, let's not go down that road.

Blinking at himself, then turning to the Director, Andrew said to both him and Will, "Okay, did I say anything wrong? Most of my social interaction was between people I grew up with or are older than me or are younger than me. So I really don't know if I am failing at talking to people right now."

This was true, but Andrew knew enough that Will had very little actual hope for himself; he can sense it. And he knew enough to guess that the other boy wanted friends; very few people his age didn't want them unless they were really screwed up and he had an inkling that Will was not that far gone yet. So Andrew looked at Will in the eyes and said, "On second thought, forget lunch and forget what I said if you want to forget - Let's just be friends."

His hair turned brown again, a demonstration of his control over his powers which nevertheless didn't say too much about what said powers were capable of right out of the blue. There would be time for the others to discover the full extent of his abilities and how they were positively terrifying (The Director had already received a full briefing, by the way).

Now, for Morgan and Aaliyah, Workshop and Jane; he could not afford to intentionally neglect them despite the fact that Will was, well... He himself was an adolescent boy who was facing the fact that he liked other boys and the occassional girl, which led to him probably ignoring the others. So the boy then walked over to Morgan and extended a hand, saying, "So, seems we've got a... I checked this in the dictionary, ramboctious fellowship of potential heroes? If so, welcome; we're glad to have a dedicated healer on our side! Also, if you want, we can go clothes-shopping as well, but on a different day than my outing with Will!"

Yeah... Way subtle about your feelings for the other boy, Wananbe-Romeo. Then to Aaliya, "It's a pleasure to meet you too! You were so cool!"

Which was true; portals were a cool power. He then waved hi to Jane and Workshop before looking at the Director and asking, "So, are we waiting for anyone? Do we have an initial assignment? Is Overclock our squad leader?"

The Final Conquest

@Dreadheart, I might - might - still be on board, btw.

Innocence Lost - A Science Fantasy RP [v.03]

Provisional GM Post

Ashton Andrews

Ashton looked at Avelyn and said, “Your family first; Narvia's is in the Draken System while mine is in Sol itself, so it makes sense to go to Epsilon Theta, then Draken'Vina, then Earth, where my parents are. Now, can you tell me what Longannet is like? It’s a planetary capital and logic says that it's fairly prosperous for the rich and powerful, but I need to know what your home district is like and the terrain we’re encountering there as well as what clothes would blend in - I presume we’re getting lower-class disguises? We might also need your powers or someone who looks like an adult to avoid any 'truant officers', too...”

He then paused to consider what Avelyn had said next and replied, “You know what? You’re right that I shouldn’t be clingy to Flame; thanks, Avelyn.”

After all, I can trust him to keep me in his thoughts, he thought before looking at Narvia and saying, “Now, tell me about your family; I know that they’re part of a corporation that supported the Coalition War and that your own 'sperm donor' has abused them a lot. Actually, tell me about the Corporation that 'sperm donor' has; tell me everything about that asshole that you can in just a few minutes.”

Then, realizing the trap he had set for himself, Ashton then clarified, "Actually, it's best if you tell us about your family's defenses and private fleet first! I heard that Mars' corporate families are large enough to own their own private fleets and that your father's corporation has its own ships which are large enough to match one of the Ascendancy's remaining flotillas. Is it possible that he'd send someone against us if we move closer to the 'Core Worlds'?"
