I'm on the 10th day of looking for an RP where I can drop my new superhero OC idea. Hate dry spells.

When RPGuild goes down for a few minutes and you are thinking "Is this the end?" and you cling on to hope it will come back up.

Do people hold a neverending grudge against you if you take the last cookie?
Hey there, interested in this as well. Is it alright for me to get Genesect?
Good question, I'm still debating with myself if I should include 'man-made' Legendaries like Genesect or Mewtwo. I'll try to come with an answer later today.
Meanwhile, thanks for all the interest! Just a few more and I'll try to make the OOC.
Sword and Shield got you hyped? Me too. Thanks to that, I have a Pokémon idea in mind. The premise has been done before, but it died out years ago and I want to see if there is more interest in it these days.
One day, all over the Pokémon world, disaster struck. In every region, unpredicted storms and tremors appeared, and even space and time itself seemed to be in chaos. Having no options left, the people prayed to the Legendaries, hoping they could stop this terrible event. It took exactly 3 days and the Legendaries gave no response, until suddenly out of nowhere, Arceus let out a single cry, and everything became peaceful. At first, people were happy, but that was until a few months later they realised not a single Legendary was spotted since that day. It was as if they left without a trace.
It has now been over two decades since 'The Great Disaster' took place, and although both humans and Pokémon recovered quickly, there was an oddity. Across the world, there were a very rare amount of people that were born in the years after The Great Disaster that obtained a special gift...
These gifted people, either referred positively to as 'Reincarnations' or negatively as 'Disaster Children', were blessed with powers akin to Legendaries. Nobody knew what happened to cause this, but these people would have weaker powers based on a single Legendary that disappeared during The Great Disaster. What they wouldn't know is that they would have an even bigger impact on the world when they get invited into a special 'Reincarnation Tournament' and finally meet each other.
Players would play as Reincarnations that would fight each other using both their Pokémon and their own powers and start out looking like normal humans, although perhaps with a look resembling the Legendary of their choice. Later they would discover they can 'Mega Evolve' into a fused version between them and the Legendary. Certain Legendaries like Arceus and Ultra Beasts are unavailable for plot reasons, OP factors or them technically not being Legendary.
If you are interested, please tell me and say what Legendary you would like so I can reserve it for you!
Powers – - Trajectory Alteration: Skillshot can use his power to slightly change the trajectory of projectiles he throws/shoots. The faster the projectile goes and the smaller it is, the easier he can change it. He only can make slight alterations and as such can not completely stop or reverse a projectile's trajectory, nor can he change its speed or velocity.
-- (Undiscovered) Skillshot can passively sense projectiles nearby. The faster they go, the longer the range. This includes projectiles propelled by himself and anyone else. --- (Undiscovered) Skillshot can use his power on enemy projectiles as well. --- (Undiscovered) Skillshot can project his mind into that of the projectile he senses. This way for the short time the projectile has speed, he can see what the projectile sees and where it goes while being able to change its trajectory.
- Pretty Smart: Skillshot is a pretty smart guy. Although not directly a superpower, this helps him on a general basis in and outside the field.
-- Biology: Skillshot knows the general anatomy of almost all vertebrates, making him able to purposely hit or miss specific organs. -- Physics: Skillshot is an expert at Physics, in particular, but not limited to Geometry. He can easily bounce a bullet off objects to hit an otherwise unreachable target, and you DON'T want to play against him during pool when he is being serious. --- Projectile Interception: Predicting the trajectories of both his own and his target's projectiles, he can use his projectile to intercept the other, forcefully changing both trajectories. -- Programming: Skillshot is an above average programmer. He can hack through most standard firewalls and make his own applications on the go. --- Monday: A basic personal AI he made to guide him during his hours out on the field. Has a female voice and addresses him as 'Sir'.
- Weapon Expertise: Skillshot has experience with most standard weaponry like rifles and pistols.
Weaknesses – - His physiology is completely human. Besides his power to bend trajectories and his above-average intellect and physique, he can die by anything that kills a normal human. - Because of his focus on long-range combat, his melee skills are lacking. When enemies come too close, he will have a hard time dealing with them. - He isn't much of a team player. He prefers to do things his way and also on his own.
Personality – Precise, no-nonsense lone wolf Experience – 34 days Day Job – Software Developer
How did Arrowcaster find you?
Skillshot has been active for a bit over a month now. He predicted his next target, and 'ambushed' him.
BRIEF Bio – Samuel Scott was a smart guy with a bright future. He soon discovered that he could change the trajectory of balls he threw through baseball, and when in his free-time shooting on his uncle's farm, he noticed the bullets went almost exactly where he wanted every time. He didn't know where this power came from, but he didn't look much into it either. However, he couldn't stand what happened in the city around him. Corruption, theft and assault everywhere. Someone had to step up, especially with all those heroes disappearing. When he rescued a person from being robbed by taking the gun from the robber and shooting him in the knee, he knew what he had to do. He would pick up arms against the darkness of this city.
How will your character be different one year later?
His skills would be developed, as he learns about his currently undiscovered parts of his powers as well as growing to fill his weaknesses by for example learning melee combat.
Sample Post –
It was night. Skillshot was looking over the buildings through his scope into the alleyway. A serial rapist was known to come through here on a regular basis. It looked like he was just in time too: The suspect was just assaulting a passerby. Skillshot groaned from behind his dust-yellow mask. Filth like this shouldn't be allowed to be alive. Then again, if he killed him, he would be even worse.
He lined up the crosshair of his hunting rifle. The girl was blocking the suspect's body, but that didn't matter. He aimed for a drain pipe on the alleyway's wall and took the shot. The bullet curved midair to countereffect the wind and hit the metal of the pipe, bouncing off straight through the suspect's right leg, making a clean flesh wound, before exiting the leg, just missing his private parts and repeating the process with his left leg.
The suspect let go of the woman and cried out in pain. Behind Skillshot's mask, Samuel smiled, tapping his earpiece. "Monday, send the call. We are done here." A robotic female voice answered. "Sending the anonymous police call right away, Sir. Also, it seems you have a visitor." With a shock, Skillshot stood up and turned around, letting go of his rifle and taking out his sidearm. In front of him stood green figure, bow aimed straight at him with an arrow drawn.
Once Skillshot aimed the gun, the figure let go of the string, and as if feeling something telling him something was coming, he took the shot straight at the arrow, hitting the tip and bouncing it off straight at the floor. The figure seemed about to draw another arrow, but Skillshot didn't fire. "Interesting... It's just like I expected." The figure said. Skillshot had already recognised the figure as the old hero Arrowcaster. "Not bad for an old man. So why are you coming after me of all people?"
The green former hero lowered his arm. "I'm sorry for that shot. My aim was to disarm you so you wouldn't do anything rash but to shoot an arrow out of the air is no small feed. I am here because I wanted to see you in action, and because I want to ask you to be a part of my team." Skillshot shrugged. "A team? No thanks. I rather work alone." He said before lowering his gun and holstering it, before proceeding to pack his hunting rifle before the cops arrived.
Arrowcaster was a bit taken back by this response, but he expected this. "Well, I can't force you. Just know that if you change your mind, come to this address. Also, a piece of advice: If you go on like this, you will soon be the one lying in the hospital, if not worse. I just want to train you to make sure that doesn't happen..." Skillshot turned around. "What do you mean, train-" He looked around to see the archery hero was already gone. "... Weird guy. I wonder what he meant with address..." His earpiece went off. "Sir, you have a message from an R. Rowcaster. Do you want me to read it for you?" Skillshot sighed. That's one way to do it, he supposes...
Name(s) of Ship(s): Orange Squadron (Orange 1 through 12) Home Universe/Name of Franchise: Star Wars (Original Galactic Civil War era, post Battle of Endor.) Ship(s) Class(es):Fighter Squadron (7× Starfighter, 3× Assault Starfighter/Bomber and 2× Gunship) Role: Utility (Air to air, air to ground, bombing, patrol, recon, etc.) Physical Description: Because of Orange Squadron's versatility, it exists of a number of different vehicles. Their main go-to starfighter is the T-65B X-wing, with each being colored orange with the amount of stripes on the wings indicating their designation. Besides that, they have a couple of BTL-A4 Y-wings for heavy bombing and UT-60D U-wings for troop transport. Although they are also trained in using RZ-1 A-wings, these are not commonly used by them. Physical Size (roughly): 7× X-wing (12.5m), 3× Y-wing (23.4m), 2× U-wing (24.98m). Armament/Complement (roughly): The X-wings are equiped with 4 KX9 laser cannons and 2 MG7 proton torpedo launchers each. They are equipped with an astromech which can help with maintenance, navigation and other useful tasks on board. They are also equiped with a hyperdrive. The Y-wings have 2 IX4 laser cannons at the front each, as well as 2 SW-5 ion cannons on top of the cockpit's rotating turrets and Flex Tube proton torpedo launchers 2 as well as Proton Bombs for the heavy bombing. Just like the X-wing, they are also equipped with an astromech that can direct the turrets and with a hyperdrive. The U-wings are equipped with 2 KX7 laser cannons each and one of them has 2 M-45 repeating ion blasters that can be mounted by a passenger. Instead of an astromech, these gunships are able to use human co-pilots. They are also equipped with a hyperdrive. History of the Squadron: Orange Squadron is the newest, perhaps most elite squadron of their period, in the way they could perform a versatile amount of tasks. After the Battle of Endor, to make sure the remaining Imperials didn't go unpunished after their crimes against the galaxy, Orange Squadron was created as a part of a task force to hunt down war criminals on the top of the Rebellion's most wanted list. They weren't picky about who the people were when selecting their members, as long as they sided with the Rebellion and had the skill to get into the group. Notable Crew:
Crew Size: 14 (24 if you count the astromechs) Faction: Alliance to Restore the Republic
Perhaps it's a rebel squadron that in the immediate past lost its carrier. They may have just enough hyperfuel for a couple more jumps but not enough to make it back to the nearest rebel base?
I was personally thinking to make them originally be from the original timeline (the canon one) from after the Battle of Endor, before being pulled into this alternate reality while on patrol. That way they are familiar with everything yet unfamiliar to the new changes the suspicious figure made to the galaxy they used to know.
Also, where should I post the sheet? Here or straight into characters?
@Sep I'm just thinking right now, would it be okay if I went with a squadron of starfighters? Would allow for more realism, versatility as well as actual damage against big ships, instead of a solo pilot playing mosquito and having to survive every. Single. Time.
Hello there! (Yes, I dropped right in with a Star Wars reference.)
I was wondering a few things, most importantly if you guys still have a spot open. Besides that, a few mechanical questions:
1. What would qualify as a 'ship'? For instance, would someone be able to play a starfighter of some sorts? Would probably be somewhat underpowered in certain ways, but could make for some fun interactions. 2. What would the interactions be on a personal level? Would we control every single crew member of our own ships or only the ships themselves? 3. To what extent is it allowed to pick a ship from the Star Wars universe, seeing as it is the main universe. Would it be allowed to use ships from different eras, or maybe even fan-made ships?
Samuel was a bit in awe when he stepped through the portal. He wasn't really familiar with fantasy-games, but it was probably something he could adapt to. When he stepped into 'Yuul', he tried mentally mapping his surroundings in case he needed to go to a specific place later on. He also noticed no one was giving particular attention to him, so he took that to his advantage and tried to stay low profile.
When the Elf man and the receptionist started talking to each other, he started zoning out a bit. Ugh, I hate tutorials... he thought to himself. When she finally started talking about the interesting stuff, he noticed that one of the classes was 'Gunsman'. Remembering Alaela's gift, he figured that would probably be his class.
After everyone else went and started discussing with themselves about 'The Emperor', he took his turn and went for the crystal. He took a card and felt the energy course through as his card started to fill itself out. As he expected, his class was a Gunner, but what he immediately noticed was that where he overheard at least one of the other gunners to have some effective damaging moves, his own skills felt more like support ones. Sure, they were good for overall use like relocating, general accuracy and keeping track of targets, but there was almost no skill that gave him a personal edge in a firefight.
Wondering why he got these skills, he joined the others again without saying a word. Even though him having allies would be great, especially with his 'supportive' skills, he would like to know who would be a good match for him beforehand anyway.
Samuel cautiously approached the clearing. It was obvious the light signal was meant for him and perhaps any other 'Childs of Earth', or at least it could be a point of interest. Either way, he had to check it out, but he needed to be careful in case he ran into a bunch of hostiles. Through the foliage, he spotted an old man and two people who looked out of place: A small girl, and an awkward guy. The way that made them stand out the most was how their clothes were similar to that of Earth, yet unfit for their body. Now he thought about it, he realised his own clothes were a bit tight. Sure, he was always a bit longer than most people, but the extra muscle mass got his own T-shirt and jeans to the brink of ripping apart.
Making sure he didn't see any other suspicious figures nearby, he slowly walked out of the forest into the clearing. "I guess this is the welcoming party, hmm?" He said. "Not that I expected some kind of cake, but still a bit disappointing." He said. He had a few rules for himself when he was still a game squad leader. Two of them he applied already, and another he applied now as well: Before making contact, gather information. This counted for ally, enemy and area; Prepare for the worst, hope for the best. If you assume everything is against you, you will be prepared if it actually is; Especially with the first contact, don't show weakness like fear or unnecessary doubt. If you do, not only will your squadmates doubt your judgement, but also will a good enemy be able to exploit it in their advantage.
He then turned to the two people who were out of place. "I take it you two were brought here as well? I guess we are in the same situation then." He said. Making allies this fast was a good plan, although he would've prefered someone with more experience of how this world worked. Then again, if they got the same gift as he did or similar, he didn't want them on their bad side. At least not for now...
