A Game of Gods: Taskforce Sifuri

Last shot at un-life.

Kharak Steriel (Magic)

A Dark Eldar Helliarch brought back as a jiangshi by Seiga and made her extremely reluctant servant.

• Appearance: Dark Eldar are narrow-faced, elongated humanoids with pointy ears, pale skin and black eyes and hair, along with a permanent expression of distate. Kharak also has numerous scars due to having been tortured to death and stitched up by Seiga.
• Powers: Flight (can fly both with and without his skyboard, though slower without), danmaku (shoot projectiles in more or less random patterns), can eat souls, better-than-human reflexes, slight pain resistance due to being undead, lacks most of his internal organs, can be detonated by Seiga whenever she feels like it, ego the size of a blimp.
• Weapons: A skyboard (sharpened Hover Board with splinter cannons), bladed armor and a two-headed Blade On A Stick.
• Personality: Like all Dark Eldar, thinks himself the single most dangerous creature in the galaxy. Unable to go against Seiga's orders (and resents it), and while he is careful not to antagonize those visibly stronger than him (for now...), looks down on those he deems inferior.

I've got a quick for Stratofarius: Now, there's a character I'd like to put forward for team magic. The only issue is that he's from a concept album and thus his powers and abilities aren't exactly well documented. Would it be an issue if I attempted to come up with a reasonable approximation of what he would be able to do?

No, go ahead.

I have no problem with it, but are you really going to use your Team Magic spot to play as someone else's mook? I mean, Kharak's defining trait on the challenge was 'under Seiga's control' and everything else spawned from that, so he's a certifiable, 100%, guaranteed mook.

Also understand that apart from a few things I like for stuff from the challenges to be restricted to the challenges, so, it's gonna have to be some really damn good R Ping to convince me that this is worth it.

• Name: Angus McFife
• Universe: Gloryhammer's Tales of the Kingdom of Fife ^* 'Tis a silly place.
• Appearance: Like so◊. Without helmet◊
• Background: Fair warning, this is going to sound fairly ridiculous After the city of Dundee was invaded by the mighty sorcerer Zargothrax and his army of undead unicorns (no, really), Crown Prince Angus McFife was forced to flee and exact his vengeance at a later time. Once he had safely retreated, McFife began a quest for the legendary Hammer of Glory. After fighting his way through many goblins and trolls, Angus finally managed to acquire the mighty hammer and began gathering a mighty army to his cause. After allying himself with the mighty Knights of Crail, a Magic Dragon, the fearsome Hootsman and finding the powerful Amulet of Justice, Angus began his march on Dundee to reclaim the city and take back his throne.
• Powers:
  • McFife possesses the Hammer of Glory, a mighty warhammer that crackles with mystic energies. Overall the hammer is a fairly simple affair and does enhanced amounts of damage to those who would do harm to the Kingdom of Fife and its people.
  • The Amulet of Justice allows its owner to release individuals from spells of binding and forced servitude. It also glows faintly when in the presence of such spells.
  • Angus is a fairly capable warrior and can hold his ground against all but the most talented warriors.
• Personality: Angus McFife is chivalrous to near-insane levels. He refuses to lie, will not fight an opponent that is unarmed or physically weaker than him and will go out of his way to help those in need no matter what the situation is. Despite these relatively positive traits, Angus will go out of his way to hunt down any evildoers he sees and will stop at nothing until justice is served.
• Team: Magic

Here's a problem:

No one in the RP would fit this category, so you have a pretty normal hammer (unless Angus is considered a citizen of Fife).

And not only is this highly specific, but how does the Amulet know who is innocent?

Just those two comments, otherwise everything is fine.

Alright, I suppose the better wording for the Amulet would be "The Amulet of Justice allows its owner to release individuals from spells of binding and forced servitude."

And yes, McFife would be considered a citizen of Fife. Gonna edit those descriptions real quick.

I'll chime in, and say that just because he's Seiga's mook, doesn't mean he isn't a character worth RP'ing.

Conception is sin Birth is pain Life is toil Death is inevitable

If you mean mook as in "open to all attacks including mind control", that's not much of a problem. Mostly he's going as meat shield.

I'm not implying that, I'm talking about the fact that he won't be at the same power level as the Seekers and won't be considered one. For example, in the Marvel/DC challenge, he won't get any superpowers. He'll be in the same level as the Fuzzles in Infinities (and it just so happens they're dead, but the example counts).

By all accounts, he shouldn't even be able to go into other challenges (or even leave his own challenge) as he is not a Seeker, and those portals are for Seekers. Like I said, it'll have to be pretty damn good to convince having a part of a challenge stick around.

Well yeah. He's just a construct that happens to have a personality, I'm not asking that he gets powers or the Seekers' upgrades.

We get upgrades

"Your Sig is now charmingly out of date" — Vox, 7/6/2016

A term of speaking.

I'm going to ask the other G Ms, since this is a special case.

In the end, the other GM said no. It'd basically be another Fuzzle hanging out on the base, and we don't want that. Plus, like I said, it's preferrable to keep stuff from the challenge in the challenge.

So, am I good to bring in McFife?

Sure.

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all.

Seems fine. Just a note: most of us prefer that instead of just copying from the wiki, you take the words from there and make it your own.

Fixed and thanks. Just to be sure is she accepted?

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all.

Sure, accepted.

Magics ho!

• Name: Kotarō Fūma.
• Universe: Samurai Warriors 2 after his story.
• Appearance: Tall Dark and Handsome anyone?◊
• Background: Kotarō is the enigmatic leader of the Fūma ninjas, serving the Hōjō clan of Sagami province. At the bidding of his masters, he killed Takeda Shingen and forced the Tokugawa to serve the Hōjō. When he heard about Nobunaga's moniker “Demon King”, he went and disrupted his activities at Ōsaka Bay as he thought the Oda daimyō was demeaning the name. When Nobunaga is killed in Honnōji and power shifts to the Toyotomi clan, the Hōjō lay siege to Ōsaka castle; Kotarō challenges Hattori Hanzō, Tokugawa Ieyasu's ninja, to contest, with the Tokugawa's freedom at the stake. Hanzō loses and the Tokugawa remain enslaved to the Hōjō.
  With Hideyoshi dead, the Hōjō rule the land, bringing an era of peace. Extremely bored, Kotarō assassinates the Hōjō leaders and decides to unify Japan by himself. Crushing the southern island of Kyūshū, Kotarō becomes the undisputed ruler of the land. However, he disappears shortly afterwards, leaving the land in Ieyasu's hands.
• Powers:
  • Kotarō can stretch his arms like rubber and twist them in unnatural angles. They remain strong, however.
  • Kotarō is a master of Genjutsu — illusion magic — mainly using it to create doubles of himself. While they hit just as hard as he does, they disappear when struck.
  • Kotarō can shoot purple energy blasts out of his hands.
  • Kotarō is a master ninja (albeit a Highly Visible one) and a master in hand-to-hand combat as well as in using his clawed gauntlets to great effect.
  • Kotarō is effectively ageless.
• Personality: Kotarō hates peace and order. He sees bringing chaos to the world as his raison d'etre. Vastly enjoying his chosen role, he sees others as pawns in his convoluted designs to further chaos in the land. He is also immensely fascinated with death, radiating immense killing intent. He has a cynical, sarcastic sense of humour and tends to deride others for their perceived flaws. He's also as trustworthy as a lawyer, betraying those he serves at the slightest whim.

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground

I study law and I assure I won't "betray anyone" neither does my father who practices law.

Forgiveness is beyond justice, faith is superior than hope, redemption is better than perfection and love is greater than them all.

It's the stereotype, though. I'd have written academics but I don't think people will recognise that.

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground

This is Musou... Musou is like the Brian Blessed of video game genres.

Wizard Needs Food Badly

Kotaro is accepted. I would say to bring him in after the timeskip, but so that we can get right into the challenge, I'm gonna ask that you actually make it so he was brought into the Team Magic base during the timeskip.

Its ok, we wouldn't have the amazing Saul goodman without it.
