Infinity Breaker: An over-the-top RP Interest Check and Signups

Interest!

Actually, might pass on this. I missed the part about the level of over-the-topness planned. ^^;

The Omamori Foundation - A Magical Girl/Tokusatsu-style Hero RP

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm going to have to cancel this RP. Sorry for wasting people's time.

@Starberries: She looks good to me. Accepted!

@clanjos: He looks fine too. Accepted!

The Omamori Foundation - A Magical Girl/Tokusatsu-style Hero RP

• Name: Akira Hoshino
• Age: 16
• Appearance: He's about average heightwise, standing at 5'7". As Celestial, he wears a black undersuit with a constantly shifting star pattern, as well as a breastplate with white gems arranged to resemble the form's constellation, pauldrons, vambraces (the Compass being incorporated into the right one) and greaves. The colour of these armour pieces changes based on his current form (yellow for Leo, red for Sagittarius and blue for Aquila). In addition, the suit's helmet changes, they each have large green eyes, with Leo's baring a stylised mane design, Aquila's having a feather-like design and Sagittarius's resembling a stylised Corinthian helmet.
• Personality: Akira is a generally pleasant and cheerful individual with a penchant for terrible puns. He tries to do the right thing, regardless of any risk to himself and has a strong sense of justice. He's generally good at controlling his temper, but threatening or attacking those who can't defend themselves is a good way to get him mad. While he's not completely inflexible, he can be somewhat stubborn once he's set his mind on something. Unfortunately, this means he's unlikely to retreat when fighting a superior opponent and can take a bit to be convinced to follow someone else's plans. He has a massive sweet tooth and is rarely seen without some form of confectionery.
• Hero Name: Shining Hero Celestial
• Abilities: Akira carries the Celestial Compass, a golden brace with a large white gem embedded in it. By attaching the Compass to his right wrist and shouting an activation phrase, he can transform into the armoured hero, Celestial. As Celestial, his strength, endurance and speed are enhanced to above-human levels, though the exact levels vary between the forms. Each form has a "Nova" attack which, true to the name, displays far more power than normal. However, these abilities tend to be draining enough that they're generally only used to finish a fight.
  
  • Leo: Akira's "all-rounder" form and the strongest melee fighter of the lot. In this form, he relies heavily on hand-to-hand combat and can create energy claws to power up his attacks. Leo Nova gives Hinata a sudden burst of energy, allowing him to unleash a barrage of empowered claw slashes on a target.
  • Aquila: Aquila is more fragile and not as strong as either of his other forms, but makes up for it with vastly superior mobility. It's faster than his other forms and Hinata can create wing-like structures to allow for limited flight. Aquila Nova increases Hinata's speed for a short time, allowing for a devastating diving kick.
  • Sagittarius: The least mobile and weakest melee fighter, this form makes up for it with rapid fire ranged attacks. Sagittarius carries a bow which creates a fiery projectile when its string is drawn back. Sagittarius Nova requires a short charging period, after which Hinata fires a larger than normal arrow at high speed. This projectile creates a large explosion on impact.
• Skills: Akira is a competent fighter and a member of his school's archery club.
• Brief Backstory: Akira is the only child of an office worker and an archaeologist. His father spent a lot of time travelling, and often returned with stories about ancient civilisations and the artifacts they had left behind. His life was mostly uneventful until roughly a year ago. His father was returning from Greece and Akira was to meet him at the airport. A number of individuals in dark robes set upon them in the terminal, attempting to steal his father's briefcase. During the attack, the briefcase was knocked aside and a strange voice called to Akira, seemingly from within it. Time seemed to slow as he opened it to find the golden brace and put it on. Thanks to the Compass's power, he was able to chase off the strange assailants and protect his father. A few weeks later, he was approached by a representative of the Omamori Foundation and has worked with them since.

OOC thread is up!

And both Rune_Alchemist and VitaVitaAR's characters should be fine to go to the character tab.

The Omamori Foundation - A Magical Girl/Tokusatsu-style Hero RP

Established during the Sengoku period, the Omamori Foundation has served to protect Japan from superhuman threats for centuries. The organisation began as a trio of siblings fighting dangerous youkai and those who would ally with them from a small shrine, although it has grown immensely since then. The modern Omamori Foundation's HQ appears to be a completely unremarkable office building from the outside. The inside of the building is a different story.

The organisation now employs a multitude of heroes, ranging from cyborgs to magic-users to people empowered by gods and an assortment of other oddities and the HQ's facilities reflect this. With an assortment of training facilities, a library full of arcane tomes, a workshop to repair or improve on any weapons/mechanical body parts and a small medical bay.

More often than not, these individuals operate in teams of three to five. While the Omamori Foundation recommends their agents try to keep their actual identities secret to avoid endangering their family or friends, the higher ups won't take any action against people who want to fame unless they try to reveal the truth about the organisation as well.

A recent addition, created through a combination of science and magic, the GATE System uses beacons set in areas that have suffered frequent attacks in the past to allow the Foundation's agents to get where they're needed quickly. Whether it's a seaside resort town tormented by an island of animals mutated into sapient humanoids (who believe their rapid evolution to be a sign of their superiority and right to rule over mankind) by less than ethical experiments, an alien crime ring whose members don't mind hurting people to make a quick buck or any other dark force, the organisation aims to respond to any superhuman threats that arise.

---

As the title says, characters should be either magical girl (or boy) or tokusatsu-style transforming heroes. The RP will revolve around this organisation of superhuman crime fighters based in a fictional Japanese city and their fight against an assortment of threats to humanity.

The RP is intended to be light-hearted for the most part, although there will be serious points. That said, it should still have the potential to bounce back after those events.

Support staff and villains are also acceptable characters, although I may be a bit stricter with villain profiles. In addition, people are welcome to run their own monster attacks, so long as they run the general idea by me first.

@Ariamis: To be honest, the best way I can think of to answer your question would be to point at @Rune_Alchemist's character. It's a pretty good example of the kind of power level we're going for. Some fairly basic stuff, a couple of flashier moves that can't really be spammed and something big which is best used as a finisher, but nothing that's going to level a city block/completely trivialise fights.

Speaking of the profile, everything looks fine for the most part. I assume her family's just got a history as magic users?

I'm glad to see this is getting a good response already. ^_^

I'll probably post the OOC tomorrow, in the meantime, here's the character sheet.

So basically, this RP will revolve around an organisation of superhuman crime fighters based in a fictional Japanese city and their fight against an assortment of threats to humanity. Ideally, the characters should fit the mould of either a magical girl (or boy) or tokusatsu-style transforming hero.

The RP is intended to be light-hearted for the most part, although there will be serious points. That said, it should still have the potential to bounce back after those events.

Anyone interested?
