Bio

Current GM of World of Light. When it comes to writing, there's nothing I love more than imagination, engagement, and commitment. I'm always open to talk, suggestion, criticism, and collaboration. While I try to be as obliging, helpful, and courteous as possible, I have very little sympathy for ghosts, and anyone who'd like to string me along. Straightforwardness is all I ask for.

Looking for more personal details? I'm just some dude from the American south; software development is my job but games, writing, and trying to help others enjoy life are my passions. Been RPing for over a decade, starting waaaay back with humble beginnings on the Spore forum, so I know a thing or two, though I won't pretend to be an expert. If you're down for some fun, let's make something spectacular together.

Here's my sheet. Let me know if I need to add more info on anything.


Ah, Death! Fun to play as and surprisingly deep in terms of character. While you should also list 'glass cannon' or something similar under his Weaknesses, since he's not terribly good at taking hits and should have that lacking defense to balance out his agility and high offense, he's otherwise good. It's optional, but I would suggest putting a couple entries into the Kindred Spirits section, unless you have no other game characters you'd like Death to interact with, take power from, or resurrect as your second character.

Gods below, with so many video games its hard to choose one.


Spoiled for choice, are we? There's certainly a lot of good picks out there! While the RP will begin soon, its beginning will not lock out new applicants, so take all the time you need to decide.
I'm done! Not the character I was expecting to play as, but I think this is an interesting choice.



An interesting pick. There are actually a few points I might review with you, though. At this point we already have three or so gun-users, including one sniper (Zer0), and one who essentially has bullet time (6 and his VATS). I wouldn't deny Michael on these grounds, but if he checks a lot of the same boxes as other characters, he might not be as fun or unique to play.

That's basically it, actually, and whether or not it's really a concern is up to you. I might have asked you to tone down his arsenal, but I let the Courier's three guns through so it's no problem.
The whole Zero thing is not a problem. In text, the o or 0 at the end will distinguish them, and in speech, characters might invent nicknames, just say 'hey, you', or just say Zero and have comedy ensue.

Also, @Stern Algorithm, Din is accepted! Welcome to the party.
@Lugubrious
Sorry for the delay, been dealing with some... Issues in another RP's discord.

But here's Zer0. Let me know if anything needs edited or explained / details added / changed.



Looks good. I hope you'll enjoy playing as him!

Meanwhile, say hello to Tora, the soon-to-be team's brand new comic relief meatshield mechanic.




Hoping this reaches your standards.


All standards met, and welcome to the party! Having a grim, violent character around will make for a sharp contrast with some of the more lighthearted characters. This is shaping up to be an interesting group, with a lot of potential for dynamics.

Feel free to put in kindred spirits at your leisure.
@ProPro your character is approved.

So, that's six player characters accepted, plus mine makes seven. Things are looking good. It's time for me to get serious with planning and start putting together the opening post as well as my own sheet. I'll look forward to additional applications in the meantime, but the RP might very well begin before the weekend is out.

It's become something of a custom lately among RP's I'm in, so would you all be wanting a Discord server for this RP?
Gonna get a CS up eventually, but I'm tentatively going for Din the Dancer and Oracle of Seasons, from The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, who will be a dancer/support mage, with her Rod of Seasons.

The red one in the middle:


Sounds like a plan to me!
Still under construction, but if there’s anything ability or equipment wise you’d like to change let me know.



Heres my adorable support robot lady. Now I just need to figure out my last kindred spirit. TF2 medic + Blazermate does pretty much everything a support should have so.... yeah. Any ideas? Or can I fill them in as the RP goes/I know what everyone else is using?

BTW my Smash ultiamte just came in the mail, so I can play World of Light now and catch up. xD





A very good bunch! I have nothing bad to say about the lot of them so far. Those that are complete can be put into the Characters tab.

As for suggested kindred spirits, Archmage, my first thoughts would be anyone close to Blazermate in her home game, or another character from any game that you'd like to play as for a second character.
@Lmpkio
sorry to be a bother mate, but you'll need to change your Kindred spirits again because the koopa king has just entered the ring:



A great sheet! The only recommendations I would make would be to his specialty, actually. Rather than 'boss/tank', if you're going for the group leader role, you might consider replacing 'boss' with 'leader.' In addition, 'bruiser' might describe a tough character who's both a tough defender and a strong attacker, rather than a straight tank. These quibblings are, of course, nonessential, so feel free to port the sheet over to the Characters tab as you see fit.
