Savage Beast Wars

Will we get the transmetal upgrade at some point?

@Duthguy

It will be a possibility, yes.

Beast Wars?

I've got the OOC up! https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/190346-savage-beast-wars/ooc

Savage Beast Wars

Cybertron is, for the first time in a long time, divided.
A Predacon, claiming an ancestral title of 'Megatron', gathered a party of fellow Predacons and committed crimes against Cybertron, herself.
The last that was heard on the matter was that an exploration vessal, captained by a Son of Primus, no less, was diverting course to pursue the criminals.
Either through some cosmic anomaly, or mutual destruction, they haven't been heard from since.
Cybertron is of two minds, on the matter. Old resentments have been renewed, it seems, and authorities are barely keeping the peace.
To mixed responses, the governing bodies of Cybertron announced a bipartisan effort; A search would commence in the hopes of finding their lost comrades, with cooperation between Maximals and Predacons. The people don't seem convinced, presently having their own ideas of who their 'comrades' even are, 'Fellow Cybertronians' not seeming to catch on.
Tensions aside, a crew was assembled, and sent off into space, to the last known coordinates of the Maximal vessel.
It wasn't long, however, before this mission, too, went missing...

The last transmission was garbled, and chaotic- as though there was fighting aboard? Under it all, though, was an unidentified energy signature, and a transmission within the transmission:

"Ah, Cybertronians. Let the experiment begin."

Welcome to my latest attempt to do a fanfic of an rp

The nature of the setting will be voted on by the starting players. Players will submit there nominations to me via PM, followed by my presenting the options here on OOC prior to starting the RP. The submissions we're looking for are the planet/ecosystem (Earth like, ice planet, desert planet, something to communicate what kind of ecosystems to expect), and the nature of life on the planet (Earth like organisms, alien, particular types more prevalent such as insects or plants, something to inform what kind of options players can choose/conjure up).
Please limit yourselves to one submission in each category.

We'll determine which wins by way of ranked voting; each starting player will have 3 votes. in each category you may cast 2 votes (again, submitted to me via PM for secrecy) for the idea you like the most, 1 vote for a second choice, and 0 for the remainder/ideas you simply didn't care for. This should help avoid ties, despite so few players to start with.

Once we've finished this, only then will I provide the character creation materials, and the polling will be closed, so no votes from later applicants will be accepted.

Character Sheet

Name:
Faction: Maximal/Predacon (more options may open up over time)
Protoform: (spybot, science bot, battle bot, skybot, etc.) What sort of roll does your character fill in their group/what sort of abilities does their base form predispose them to?
Beast Mode: If you know Beast Wars, you know what this is. Just in case, though, this is your choice of alternate form. Characters just starting out will be able to (mostly*) perfectly imitate the form of a natural animal.
Personality: Tell us about who your character is.
Background: Tell us how your character came to be on the rescue mission when things went awry, be sure to include where your character stands on the current controversy on Cybertron.

*: Larger organisms get scaled down to still fit a near human form when not in Beast Mode. Smaller organisms get scaled up the same way. There are still size variations between Cybertronians, some more pronounced than others, but their aren’t massive giants running around, normally.

Beast Wars?

Alright, well that makes 3, so far! At my day job atm, but tonight I'll go ahead and create an OOC and such.

Beast Wars?

I'd be down for this as reruns of Beast Wars is how I got into Transformers. Would we just playing as Maximals? Or would we get the option to also play as a Predacon. As for the wildlife of the planet, I would say we should have Earth animals and maybe some aliens mixed in. Maybe that could be a plot point trying to figure out what brought all these different species to the planet? Anyways, I'm really interested in this.

@Martian

Well my original post does say both protags and antags, so, yes! I'll even let players have 2 total characters!

I'm not prepared to start any player polling yet; I'd want to have the game more established, such as with more committed players (ideally at least 4, but I'd be willing to start with 3) and an OOC set up. Buuuuuut, your idea of mixing wildlife gives me what could be an interesting idea for a larger plot... No, I will not go into detail; just like the original series, y'all get to just figure stuff out in real time :P

Anyway, don't worry about submitting your suggestions yet, I'll need to see if there's enough interest to warrant an OOC and character sheet, first :P

Beast Wars?

I'm toying with the idea of a Transformers: Beast Wars rp.

All original characters, essentially a different bunch of characters (both protagonists and antagonists) finding themselves in a similar situation to the characters of Beast Wars; stranded on an alien world and coming into conflict for one reason or another.

I'm leaning more towards an alien planet, though, instead of Earth. Also considering a poll for the kind of planet we'd be working with (only with committed players; don't sign up only to leave because your idea wasn't popular enough >:( ) and the kind of wildlife running around.

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

He'd thought he looked cool, maybe even intimidating, in that moment, but, his confidence soon turned to confusion.

Did... Did I actually scare them off?

He noticed some others were caught up in the... Whatever was going on, and chose to run after them- maybe they were taking hostages? As he caught up, occasionally taking swings at Muddies along the way, he slid to a stop with the rest of them.

Before he understood what was going on, a red crystal did a few laps around him before turning into a device on his wrist! He decided to just roll with the instructions they were given, rather than get skewered. He pressed the button, spun the wheel, and struct a pose as he called, "Crystalize!!"

The Morphing happened, and he looked over himself, impressed. Not just with the outfit, but the feeling; the energy swelling inside himself! He almost thought he could take them all on, now, but with the others on his side as well? "Oh, hohoho! These guys are about to have a really bad day!"

@Giskhey, thanks for thinking of me, but this was so long ago I kinda lost interest...

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

Aiden couldn't help but think to himself, as he flew through the air propelled by his bike exploding, Well, this took a turn...

He gritted his teeth and groaned as he tried to recover from the fall, mostly hearing a high pitched buzzing in his ears.

As his hearing started to come back, and he dragged himself back to his feet, he locked eyes on Maskaraid. #&$% this clown! He picked up and clutched what used to be the tail-pipe on his bike, and called out to him. "Hey, you big ugly jerk! I don't know what your problem is, but you and your pals need to get your heads straight and beat it!"

Power Rangers: Crystalizers

The kids were having a great time, now that he was helping them rob the booth operator of his precious tickets! They were giggling uncontrollably, when suddenly, just as he was hitting yet another "mole", the ground shook, and there was an explosion! Pausing for a moment, he looked around when he realized the explosion was somewhere else.

Some kind of monster was making demands of the crowd, but it didn't seem to like the response- It's minions began to attack!

Some of these things were coming their way! "Oh, no..." Aiden looked over his shoulder to the now frightened children- there parents hadn't figured out where they were, yet. The booth operator was long gone. He looked back, steeling himself for what he'd have to do, his knuckles popping from his tightening grip on the mallet. "... Stay behind me, kids!"

He picked up a tall stool as the Muddies closed the distance, and quickly clobbered 3 of them with the mallet! They shook, stunned by the blow, but more were coming! Aiden crouched into a heavy swing of the still, tripping up 4 more! Another 2 mallet strikes, and he yanked the rope for forming lines lose, tossing the other end to the kids, who dutifully took hold, abandoning the ticket haul.

"Come on, we'll find your parents, but first we're getting you somewhere safe!" He led them along, clobbering Muddies as they went, finally passing them off to a security guard, apparently one of the parents!

"Thank you, young man, now get to safety!" and with that they scampered off, the kids in tow, and his attention was caught by the flashing light reflecting on- "Hey, it's that monster guy! He must be the one I saw before!" The monster calling itself Maskaraid was attacking a pair of young ladies. "I've got to help them!" In that moment, he looked at the monster, and hesitated at the ruined mallet in his hands. "...But how?"

As if struck by inspiration, he turned, and looked at the parking lot. With a deep breath, and a "...OK." He sprinted, kicking, hitting and tackling Muddies as they crossed his path, until he reached his bike. He put on his helmet, revved the engine, and drove through at reckless speed, knocking down more Muddies as he went, at one point stopping to skid in a semi-circle, knocking a group down and saving some more people they'd cornered.

Once he'd found the Monster again, He revved the engine once more, and popped a wheely as he charged the menace!
