Black★Rock Universe: Discussion

This is the discussion thread for Black★Rock Universe.

anyway, like I was saying. Shit just got real.

^By a piece of paper!!!

And I love Minato's anti-social attitude. ^.^

It is kinda endearing, but I do hope he'll grow out of it.

Also! Love triangle right off the bat, daaaaaaaaaaaamn. Things are gonna get real.

In the case of Kuroki, I'm interpreting "Apathy" as neither like nor dislike, rather than literal apathy. It makes more sense.

Well yeah.

Actually the three guys seem to like Midori... though she treats too of them like shit with though love even though she likes them and treats one of them nicely even though she internally hates his guts for reasons she doesn't understand.

Oh boy... this should be pretty.

By the way, are we using Repression Zero rules? And if so, is the Backlash Damage rule in effect? Repression Zero is the sort of thing Jou would use when pushed too far while merged with White☆Knight Hero.

^ Repression Zero would be pretty cool to use, it actually ties in well with our characters.

I have two more NP Cs to introduce.

I don't know if I'll get to the latter of them today, but we'll shoot for it.

• Tara Yamamoto
  • Tara's most distinguishing feature is her bright red hair, stemming from her fifth-European heritage. Otherwise, she is unremarkable looking.
• Psyche
  • Repression: 1
  • Passion: 6
  • Wits: ★
  • Logic: 6
  • Tenacity: 6
  • Confidence: 3

• The Guide
  • The guide is a woman whose features are obscured by the massive black hood she wears, she rather resembles the Grim Reaper.
  • The Guide wields a scythe
• Psyche
  • Repression: 0
  • Passion: 10
  • Wits: 10
  • Logic: 10
  • Tenacity: 10
  • Confidence: 10

no, you are not reading those stats wrong. But don't worry, you won't have to fight her, she's on your side.

edit: To answer your questions, yes we're using both optional rules, but I don't know if backlash damage will apply or not. Depends.

Boss characters will sometimes have over 8 of some or all attributes. This is to make the fight more even, since you'll all be working together.

Speaking of bosses, you will probably recognize the first one when he shows up. Not an original character.

Assuming we know Tara, it appears Jou likes her, though not as much as Morisato. But at least he's not holding back at all (though he doesn't seem to hold much back in general, Kuriko is the only person he's really in denial about).

You don't know Tara.

She's new.

That said, if you want to make it a love (or perhaps, strongly like? :P) at first sight, you have my permission.

So, is it safe to say that all of us should be at say... a 5(apathy) towards her?

Since we don't know her of course.

actually, scratch what I said above.

Acceptable first impressions are a 4, a 5, and a 6.

Four for me.

Midori seems to like exotic looking people.

I imagine that that will change when she meets Star Maiden.

Yeah, since I rolled paired 3s, I'll just knock them down to 4s.

EDIT: Also, so much dramatic irony in my latest post, it's so tasty.

works for me.

Everyone else will have to introduce themselves before Tara though, she is at the very back of the class in the last row.

^Trust me. By the end of this RP, all of your characters will get along swimmingly, else they'll probably not make it to the end of this RP.

Hm, alright I guess I'll go with 6 and 5, Minato doesn't like to show hes that interested with Tara, but actually, he would like to get to know her.

And things are starting to get pretty good... oh yeah!

Hmm, I am starting to have some misgivings about my choice for your first boss....

well, you'll either hate it or you'll love it.

D:

Oh, Gods the irony... Poor Jou.

Oo fun... we will have the ability to team up, right? Or is that a no no?

>:D

Don't worry, I'm not a killer GM.

I'm not even going to make you face ★★★★★★★★★★ alone! :D

^Of course, that's your whole incentive for character development.

BAM! Little light on Minato's anti-social attitude.

A tad overdramatic, imo. But that's alright.

Now we just need Re Dead to post....

To be honest, I feel worse for Morisato. White☆Knight Hero is essentially bottled-up rage given form, the fact that he tends to attack entities that have done wrong is just Jou's way of evading any guilt for taking out his anger on them. Defeat will mean more than just friendship with him. Of course, if Jou remembers doing it, it would probably snap his mind in two.
