Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Hey, they signed up for it, not me. If JMCL wants to join them, fine by me.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

@forsythe I see...anyone else want to try antagonizing a mission?

@Crimmy I forgot. One of the missions we already had was claimed by VNGB, and the mission I approved for you hasn't been put into the list.

I might think it's a bit early to have it fully develop and manifest, I'm not about to object because it would be non-canon.

That being said, I also don't see a problem with people keeping characters in a mostly-canon state, either. For one thing I plan to have no real changes happen with Kino or Kyouko. Sure, new experiences and learning new things, but no serious emotional shifts. Or physical changes, on account of the fact that everyone's going to be restored to their base state no matter what happens at the end of a challenge, and "refreshed" to avoid fatigue or worse.

As for abilities, nothing I particularly want for Kyouko, and part of why Kino's awesome is she's a totally normal person who nonetheless can pull off some pretty crazy things.

To put it simply, I have no objection to anyone having characters go through major changes, but it also doesn't mean everyone has to do it.

@VitaVitaAR

I was not demanding changes of everyone, merely discrediting the idea of changes for no-one. Your pronouncement pleases me.

...your name may appear more than once. If you have found yourself part of (or antagonizing for) something that you did not expect, it is either because your team didn't choose a mission of your own accord, or I trust you enough to ask you to antagonize for a mission. In either case, if you are dissatisfied, get back to me.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

GMs, please keep in mind when looking at Game's request that if you deny it on the basis of it not being canon, that none of this entire RP is canon. If a character takes a broken bone from battle, that's a non-canon affliction, and a hindrance that the character wouldn't have otherwise had. Wouldn't it be weird and/or boring to assume that our characters would go through this entire experience and not change one bit, physically, emotionally, or in terms of ability?

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

By virtue of potentially three against one, I'd rather thank.

I spoke with Ryo in PM. Ebon's power has been nerfed to the degree that his telekinesis doesn't work on living things unless they're completely vulnerable, and his telepathy doesn't work unless he's both focused and his opponent's mind isn't excited by battle. When fighting, he essentially has his shield and his drones, and little else. This should not make him overpowered.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

Yeah, DIO's not interested in being anyone's subordinate. Forneus's aura sensory power would be enough to sense the Stand's presence and its rough location, but only a Stand user can see other Stands.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

Keep in mind that DIO did not audibly defend his relationship. If you're referring to this...

"To reject power and love is not admirable. I have gained these allies, not because I held them at gunpoint or took control of their minds, but because I respect and support them if they do the same for me. That is how the greatest comrades are made.”

He was needling Forneus for his inability to gain allies, much less gain them meaningfully. DIO was also not given power. True, it came from a stone mask, but he wasn't given the stone mask, and even if he would have been, it would have been so that a Pillar Man could feed off him.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

I'm unsure how exactly to respond to DIO, I've never had this kind of sitaution where someone devises a well layed insult. I got no ideas! Maybe I should try to write down ideas and think about them.

After some thinking now I think I've got it! I'm just gonna wait for Guru to post and then I think I'll begin.

@LuciansMentor

He could get flustered?

DIO – Positively 4th Street

@GameguruGG@invisible man@Luciansmentor

DIO's initial observation of Forneus did not paint the abyssal lord in a good light. Right away, it became obvious that this green-haired being was full of himself. Ego oozed from his every mannerism, from sneer to headshake to his mocking words. The chance of recruiting Forneus willingly, DIO hypothesized, seemed incredibly slim, but since less respectful methods lay at the vampire's fingertips, he did not see any reason at all for the demon's jabs to affect him. He elected to not let Forneus's nonsensical sobriquet slide. ”I am no creature's child. I transcended humanity of my own will and strength. You resist my offer of companionship? To reject power and love is not admirable. I have gained these allies, not because I held them at gunpoint or took control of their minds, but because I respect and support them if they do the same for me. That is how the greatest comrades are made.”

He stood still, flanked on either side by Juri and the Overlord, as Forneus endeavored to show off. When he was through, DIO remained motionless for a moment, then tilted his head back and to the side to release a snarky laugh. ”Hah hah hah hah hah hah!” He clapped his hands, once, twice, in a fashion as condescending as the abyssal lord's own. Though he knew exactly what to say in reply, he patiently waited for Forneus to turn his riddling tongue on his companion. DIO cared not what he said to her, for he had put all of his trust in Juri as his most treasured follower. He did not demand displays of affection or prostration from her, or even a fanatical devotion -as nice as it would be-, merely her unwavering allegiance. The phrase 'love and nurturing' was a uniquely poor way of terming DIO and Juri's relationship, however, and the vampire expected that his companion knew it. Though a connection existed between them, neither tenderness nor romance characterized it. Theirs was a violent passion.

His silence remained during Forneus's big moment of cleverness and drama, though it did not mitigate his overbearing manner. Looking down at the little, point-fingered man, he made an exaggerated sigh, rolling his gleaming orange eyes. ”What do I care about your blustering and needling, Forneus of the great titles? Are you feebly attempting to call me out? An emperor does not feel any sting when the cricket chirps at him. You try to deride my confidence, no doubt to feed your own bloated ego...it is the very essence of hypocrisy. And you go to such lengths to be strong and clever! It's like a child trying to showcase his maturity and outdo an adult. I must say, I did like your waterworks performance. A plus! Indeed, this body once belonged to another: my arch-nemesis, the greatest warrior of the only bloodline capable of stopping me. I conquered it.” He shrugged. ”I suppose I'm the one boasting now,though I assure you I have no real interest in joining your dick-measuring contest. Then again, I suspect you are compensating for something with all those titles. It is a sad day that I, DIO, must admit myself to be wrong.” Closing his eyes, DIO hung his head slightly. ”I mistook you for a great worker of magic, but you've revealed yourself to be an over-mighty, over-stuffed ponce.” Opening his eyes again, he turned his head to address his allies and murmured so that only they could hear, ”Forgive my delays. We'll get to business in just a moment. Juri, I believe you may be ready to summon your Stand for the first time. Call it by name, any name you please.”

DIO held up a hand, and Forneus's watery cat floated into the air, held invisibly by the scruff of its neck. ”Deary me, you've got a pest. If companionship means nothing to you, it can be nothing more.” It hovered over the road between Forneus and DIO, who no longer bore a look of enjoyment on his face. ”Allow me to assist you.” The cat fell to the ground, and nearby a chunk of rock-hard Oreo was torn from the road and abruptly slammed on top of the liquid feline, squashing it flat. ”There you are. Anything else we might...help you with?”
