A Game of Gods: Taskforce Sifuri

Go To

Long ago, an ancient superweapon, capable of shaping worlds, changing the laws of physics, and even influencing life and death, was lost. It was another casualty of a world-shattering war, that saw the deployment of indescribable horrors and carnage on a galactic scale. Its name was Sifuri, and, as the ashes settled on the remains of cities and combatants, it was decided that some things were best forgotten, and Sifuri faded from memory as its creators set about rebuilding and reconstuituting all that had turned to ashes. For billions of years, Sifuri lay abandoned and alone on a distant world, safely out of the ands of its creators and never to be used again.

But now, things are beginning to change. The embers of war are begining to stir. A powerful force looms on the horizon, and Sifuri may be all that stands between it and the destruction of its creators. Two criminals, seeking to atone for their misdeeds, assemble two competing teams- one based around the supernatural, the the other around the scientific- to recover the artefact. It will be a long and perilous quest across the multiverse to recover Sifuri... but will the forces of magic or science prevail?

___________________

Hello once more, and welcome to the signup thread for A Game Of Gods: Taskforce Sifuri. Now, the first thing that you're probably wondering is why exactly we need another spinoff. The answer is that this was initially going to be a plot in the current Infinities game, but due to my worry that the mini-epic would would take too long, I decided to spin it off into its own game. That said, this game is extremely close to Infinities, moreso than TOTG was to the original AGOG. Because of that, there will be several crossovers between the two. Besides that, all the same rules in AGOG, and general RPing etiquette should apply.

Signups

Naturally, the biggest 'gimmick', so to speak, of this RP is the fact that characters who have science-based powers are pitted against those who have magic based powers. I'm really hoping for even teams for this, so if we have too many people on one side than some people may be given control of a second character for the opposite team. Characters who use both magic and science, such as Magitek, will be admitted on a case-by-case basis.

  • Name: (self-explanatory)
  • Universe: (series they come from)
  • Background: (brief bio of their past, motivations, etc.)
  • Powers: (What they can do- keep it between 1-3 on the Super Weight scale)
  • Personality: (Also self-explanatory).

The game itself may not open for a while, so don't hold your breath. This is a way of seeing how may people want to sign up.

Announcement: starting from now to the end of the next challenge, all new characters will unfortunately have to wait.

The pieces are set, I do not have any more openings and I cannot diverge my attention to a side challenge.

I'm sorry. I'll post here again when this period ends.

I am going to edit supergirl's personality in the profile as I don't think it's accurate anymore. I won't change the accepted powers, if that's ok, of course !

After a fair amount of work to explain things properly in this signup -unlike what I did with the last three-, it is finished.

  • Name: Raven
  • Universe: Elsword
  • Appearance: Behold the Veteran Commander
  • Background: Went from commoner, to captain, to criminal. The nobles of Velder framed Raven out of jealousy for his high rank among the Black Crow Mercenaries, and sentenced him to death. His fiancée and comrades set him free the night prior to his execution, but at the cost of their own lives, and almost Raven's own as well. However, he was found and experimented on by the nasod, sentient machines that resided deep within Altera. Turned into a human-nasod hybrid, and with a device that controlled his body and emotions, he became a murderous and destructive force, while his true self remained dormant until, during a battle with the El Search Party, the control device was destroyed. Realizing the atrocities he had commited, he joined them on their quest, looking to atone for his sins.
  • Skills:
    • Power Assault: Raven charges forward, hitting everything in the way.
    • Maximum Cannon: Raven creates a fire sphere that swirls in front of him.
    • Shadow Step: Raven is able to dash forward while becoming temporarily invisible. Can only be used in a straight line forward and/or backwards.
    • Bursting Blade: Raven engulfs his sword in flames for a few seconds.
    • Harpoon Spear: Raven launches an flaming, explosive harpoon towards the ground. After impact, chain bursts from the explosion travel along the ground, pushing and damaging any foes caught in its path.
    • Revolver Cannon: Raven readies his nasod arm and fires a few large fire bullets towards his enemies. Comes in High Explosive and Piercing varieties. Long range.
    • Giga Prominence: Raven plows his Nasod arm into the ground and unleashes flames underground, causing geysers of fire to erupt and damage everything near him.
    • Hellfire Gatling: Raven aims forward and shoots several fireballs in quick succession. Very poor accuracy.
    • Deadly Raid: Raven engulfs his nasod arm in flames and punches the opponent repeatedly, with the last punch unleashing a small explosion.
    • Ignition Crow: Raven engulfs his sword in flames and shoots a flaming crow with it. Comes in Napalm and Incinerator varieties. The Napalm version leaves a trail of fire behind it to damage enemies, but is weaker than the Incinerator version.
    • Burning Buster: Raven summons a murder of crows, which will rain down on targets and explode upon impact. He will then punch forward before unleashing a tornado of flames.
    • Awakening: It is possible for Raven to unleash his whole power if necessary. Doing so will create a small electric aura around him, and summon a Nasod Core that will assist Raven offensively and defensively, as well as increase his overall strength. It lasts exactly one minute.
  • Equipment:
    • Nasod Arm: As a Veteran Commander, Raven has modified his arm into a powerful firearm, able to shoot explosive shells and concentrated flames at middle range while still being a reliable melee weapon, granting him a lot of versatility to fulfill different roles in combat. As an addition, he can overheat the arm to increase its effectivity, but it comes at the risk of damaging it.
    • Blade: A one-handed, one-edged sword.
    • Napalm Grenades: Self explanatory. Can be configured with a timer or set to explode on impact.
    • Nasod Core: A hovering orange orb with black spikes floating around it. Only appears when Raven is awakened, and its size slowly increases over time. It can be used either offensively, darting forward as a spear on command -as long as it is big enough-, or defensively, turning into a shield to block frontal attacks -albeit steadily making it smaller-. Raven can't attack while the shield is up, but can Shadow Step out of it.
  • Personality: Raven is often calm and collected, although he can have moments where his temperament gets the best of him. The incident from his past has turned him rather sour, and slightly unwilling to trust others. However, he has also shown that he can be sensitive and willing to listen if necessary, making him a reliable comrade. Having centered most of his life around combat, he is a skilled tactician, but also prone to thinking in military terms in more mundane situations that don't require it -when cooking, for example-.
  • Team: Science.

I knew his gender was going to confuse at least some people, so I prepared a little thing. This is how he looked three years earl-

...wait no. No, that's not... hang on, let me look again.

Oh, here it is! This is the image I was looking for.

  • Characters from page 56 onwards weren't added yet.
  • Maria's name is missing.
  • Stephan dropped both characters.

Not sure if there's something else.

Selene Dove

http://brokenbow.wikia.com/wiki/Selene_Dove

Coming from the same series "Broken Bow" of the same series Armani comes from. She is basically his Distaff Counterpart ( but cooler) and the character I will use for team magic next season. What can I say? I love DistaffCounterparts. It's april and I would be a fool not to sign up a new character for a change.

  • Name: Selene Dove (her name comes from a poem Apollo made and a toothpaste brand).
  • Universe: Broken Bow
  • Team Magic
  • Appereance: She resembles Armani a lot, but mostly she resembles her mother Artemis. She has a very long hair she hardly cares about, somehow she manages to look better than armani though.
  • Background: What If Armani was a woman ? This is the question Selene answers. Coming from the "broken bow" arch "counterpart". Altough she distrusts Armani at first, she helps him to save the multiverse and all realities, therefore she has much more experience than him on the multiverse.
  • Powers: She basically can do exactly the same things Armani does but better.
  • Personality: While she is a beaitiful girl she cares even less about her apperance than Armani does. She is better in every way than Armani. She can be best describes in comparition to her inferior counterpart as she is much more hot headed, sarcastic, and much eager to jump to conclusions than Armani.
