Super Hero Taisen Battride War - RP Signup Thread

Welcome to "Super Hero Taisen Battride War", a RP game here inspired by the likes of the Super Robot Wars and the Compati Hero Series. This is another attempt to head back to the GM game since my cyberpunk law enforcement one is currently dead at the moment.

---

The year is 20XX. Many years after the defeat of various villains to take over and subjugate the Earth under their rule or inflict a reign of terror, peace was brought back and their misdeeds were long forgotten and instead, became part of human history.

It was not long before a string of attacks worldwide were brought to the attention of various superhero individuals and teams with a threatening note brought to their attention.

If you wish to save your world, then fight me. Otherwise, prepare to suffer the consequences with the fate of your world is in my hands.

The various heroes would need to put any of their differences aside to work out who was the culprit responsible for sending out the threatening note and more importantly, who is the new threat that wants to bring chaos to the world?

In fact, what does the mysterious villain want from our heroes? Only time will tell.

---

And that's the story so far for SHTBW. The usual RP rules apply such as no godmodding, don't control other people's characters unless GM/RPer involved gives the ok and autohitting. I'm allowing canon and OC characters, as long as they have a link with established powers with a Super Sentai/Power Ranger, Metal Hero, etc. (e.g. an OC with Kamen Rider Ryuki's powers).

Signup Sheet:

• Name: Self-explanatory
• Appearance: Two things I want here. One is how he/she/it (maybe) looks like in their civilian/normal identity and another in their henshined form (ranger/sentai/metal hero/toku costume). If one or the other doesn't apply in any, let me know.
• Universe: Where is your character from?
• Backstory: The story of your character so far.
• Superweight: To make things fair, I'm limiting Superweight between 0-3.

• Character Skills: What can your character do, in and out of their costume.
• Equipment: What your character has. If he/she/it doesn't have any, then ignore this.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

• Name: His name was lost in time, and thus he is referred to as "D".
• Appearance: "Spirit Ranger, Fire!"◊ "The Ferocious Brave! Deathryuger!"◊ If you wish for an actor claim... Mamoru Miyano? Also, I'd note that the visual difference, since he's a Spirit Ranger, is that the silver stripe on his chest, as well as his insignia (the face of Topaspino) are all bronze.
• Universe: Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger
• Backstory: This will be broken up int chunks.
  • D existed in 1000 AD. He lived in an Mesoamerican civilization that, like many other civilizations at the time, were big on human sacrifices. For a time, he was neutral towards the sacrifices if it meant that they'd appease their gods and live for one more day. However, that tune changed when his little sister was selected for the next sacrifice. Conflicted on whether to allow his sister to die or run away and be branded an exile for the rest of his life, he cried. However, he noticed his sadness was sapped away from him by a strange sensation. He followed it until he spotted a strange knight-like monster with a sad face. The knight spotted him and sent strange minions at him. He ran off, taking his sister and ran away from the tribe, deciding to leave the place forever.
  • He and his sister lived off the jungle for a while, until D encountered a giant dinosaur. He fought the dinosaur for several days to protect himself and his sister, until eventually, he beat it. As he did that, a strange bird man came to him and congratulated him on his bravery. The bird man, who later identified himself as Torin, told D that the dinosaur chose to challenge him and that by defeating the dinosaur, Topaspino, he had made partners with him. He was given a Beast Battery. D asked Torin about the knight and Torin explained about who the knight was. The knight was a member of the Deboss Army known as Aigaron and that he was absorbing the sadness of the tribe whenever their loved ones were being sacrificed. He set off to stop Aigaron and save his tribe.
  • At the tribe, he was confronted by several of his tribesmen and telling him he doesn't belong here. After D explains to them about Aigaron, the Knight of Sorrow appeared and confirms everything D said. However, he soon tells them that should they stop the sacrifices, he would send monsters to eradicate the tribe, thereby ensuring the idea that they'd be spared if they sacrifice. D, not standing for it, transformed into Deathryuger (He and Torin had a naming dispute... He wanted D to be called Kyoryu Navy, but D thought Deathryuger was more cooler sounding) and fought Aigaron, several Zorima, and finally a Debo Monster who was absorbing the sorrow from the tribe. He drove off Aigaron and sealed him off, though the wounds he obtained from battle were too much for him. He died, knowing that he freed his tribe from torment and sorrow.
  • To his surprise, he still existed as a spirit. Torin later explained that Kyoryugers are so brave, they can cheat death itself and exist as spirits to aid future Kyoryugers in their battle. It took a while for D to accept, especially since he managed to outlive his sister and eventually his tribe. Because of this, D didn't help in fighting the Deboss Army when they resurfaced time and time again, not even when Torin asked for his help. To the other Kyoryugers, it was as if D never existed, and thus, his name was wiped from time and even Torin had trouble remembering his name. Eventually, his Zyudenryu, Tobaspino, grew impatient with him. On one night, Torin confronted D about the threatening note, then proceeds to tell him that Topaspino wishes for D to fight. D asks what he'd gain out of it, and Torin tells him that Topaspino be willing to cut the tie with him and allow him to go to the afterlife where his tribe will be. However, Torin warns that if he was to die in battle, his spirit would be lost forever, as the many years of him not fighting and being brave are catching up to him.
• Superweight: I'm thinking around 2.
• Hero Type: Super Sentai
• Character Skills: Out of Costume, He has experience in playing a flute based off his weapon: the Flute Buster. He can also sing pretty well. He's also a Spirit Ranger, meaning he's already dead. He can still take hits though, and if he dies, his spirit ceases to exist.
• Equipment: In Costume, Deathryuger has the Flute Buster, a magical flute weapon that could double as a boomer rang and a sword. Because he was born (and died) before the advent of the Gaburivolvers, he isn't able to use the other Beast Batteries, and thus has his only one: The Topaspino battery. He has four of them. It's also because of his placement in time that he hasn't gotten the D-Racer, his personal motorcycle or access to a DeinoChaser.
• Comment: Dunno. Might have fudged up the Kyoryuger Mythos a bit with Aigaron being in 1000 AD and Deathryuger not partaking in the battle... though considering this is exploring what if Deathryuger was a Spirit Ranger...

So D is fine to me.

• Name: Ryan Steele.
• Appearance: Civilian form◊, VR Trooper form◊
• Universe: Post-Virtual Reality Troopers in the year 20XX.
• Backstory: The only son of Tyler Steele, he was trained in karate at a young age. During his younger years in high school, Ryan further trained in Tao Dojo alongside his friends JB Reese and Kaitlin Star. The trio were recruited to fight off Grimlord and his quest to conquer both the real and VR worlds. Although the three have defeated him many times, they were not able to determine his "actual" base of operations and the real identity of Grimlord. After graduation from high school, the trio decided to temporarily part ways to attend university while keeping in touch in case there is a breakthrough in defeating Grimlord once and for all.
• Superweight: 1 as a civilian. 2 when he changes to his VR Trooper form.
• Hero Type: Metal Hero.
• Character Skills: Out of his costume, Ryan is a skilled martial artist trained in karate. He knows how to ride a motorcycle, partly due to use of his VR Trooper powers that allows him to gain access to (formerly) the VR Turbo Cycle and the VR Nitro Cycle aside from riding one in real-life.
• Equipment: Nothing much aside from his Virtualizer pendant, an Iphone 4S and some clothes on with a Video Transmitter or a VT.
  • But in costume, he's armed with a Laser Saber and Laser Pistol. With his Laser Saber, Ryan call pull off the VR Laser Ray.
• Comment: Nothing major, except he still has a quest to take down Grimlord. Also he'll get confused if the other Sentai/Kamen Riders/Metal Heroes would call him Shaider and wonder if they're referring to him as "Roy Scheider".

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Here's a character type I've played before, and would like to try again:

• Name: Magna Defender
• Appearance: The Defender is coated in black armor from head to toe. His helmet sports two horns, like a bull's horns, and he wears a red cape.◊
• Universe: Power Rangers Lost Galaxy
• Backstory: For centuries, the Magna Defender was the brave, honorable guardian of peace on his home planet. But all that changed 3000 years ago. His home planet was attacked by the armies of Scorpius, a warlord seeking the Lights of Orion, a legendary source of power. During the battle, Magna Defender's home was overrun, and his son, Zika, was captured by Scorpius' forces; the Defender was forced to watch as his son was executed by the alien conqueror. This changed Magna Defender, leaving him obsessed with destroying Scorpius. Seeking the power of the Lights for himself, the Defender traveled to the jungle planet Mirinoi, where he fought and was defeated by his old enemy Treacheron, who was one of Scorpius' lieutenants. Magna Defender was tossed into a deep pit, imprisoned for millennia, until finally escaping by possessing the body of a human who had fallen down the same pit.
• Superweight: Level 2-3
• Hero Type: Power Rangers
• Character Skills: Magna Defender is a warrior of legendary skill, an expert at swordplay and marksmanship.
• Equipment: The Magna Blaster, his weapon, alternates between a sword◊ and a gun◊. In blaster mode, the Magna Blaster operates similarly to a pump-action shotgun; one shot fires several small blasts, and is recharged after each shot manually. Magna Defender is also master of the Torozord, a large sentient robotic bull, which he considers his only ally left.
• Comments: 3000 years have left the Defender totally consumed with vengeance against Scorpius and Treacheron. He will stop at nothing if he gets a chance to destroy them. In the past, his obsession has put him in conflict with the more idealistic Galaxy Rangers; the most notable instance being when he fired into a crowd of civilians to get at an enemy monster. This betrayal of his ideals leads the Defender to have strange pains, brought on by the spirit of his host body, Mike Corbett.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

For the sake of reference, here's the costumes generated by the ten starting Ranger Keys (and the Rider Key)◊.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Hmmm, quick question: how many characters are we allowed? Because I'm considering using something else alongside G. >.> <.<

@deadbeat

- I'll go and wait and see if you're still going to update your entry.

@maxwell

- I don't think I'll have a problem with this. I'll put his name in the roster later. Where's MD taken from in Lost Galaxy?

@moerin

- One. Unless you want to use canon characters who work together a lot on the series.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

A question... What about mentor characters? Dunno, might just do Torin for a prologue scene.

He only appears one time?

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

...Ack. >.< Uh... Might take me a while to get a sign-up written then, since I'm going to have a lot of trouble deciding between these two ideas. >.< Sorry...

edited 15th Sep '13 7:54:58 PM by Moerin

Perfectly fine. If you stick with G, then I will praise you for being AWESOME!

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Looking into my brain, yeah. He only appears for the prologue.

I guess that's fine if he appears in the prologue.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

I figure Magna Defender shows up from some point after "The Sunflower Search"; that's the point where we see his backstory, his obsession, his reckless disregard for those in his way, his conflict with Leo and the other Galaxy Rangers, and the Torozord.

Of course, don't you know anything about ALCHEMY?!- Twin clones of Ivan the Great

Thanks.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Hm... Well, if we are to assume that the events of our characters' shows are going on, I guess you can say that Torin had Deathryuger fight the mysterious threat while he and the rest of the Kyoryugers deal with the Deboss Army.

edited 15th Sep '13 9:16:29 PM by Psyga315

Hmmm... Now we got representation in Super Sentai/Power Rangers and Metal Heroes for now.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

OK, anything else I need to add / remove / otherwise change?

"Yup. That tasted purple."

IMO, if you're not adding any other skills that may be helpful to Luka aside from the heightened senses that she has in combat and in hunting down items (which I find to be interesting), then she's fine. I'll go add her in the roster right now.

Otherwise, that's the only thing that I'd advise you to add (her heightened senses I mean) in since Luka's known for that.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Forgot that bit. >.<

But then I only hit EP 7 last night.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Not a big deal actually.

If you haven't noticed that before. Otherwise, Luka's good to go.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

As soon as maybe a few more signup (depending on things), I can start getting the RP and discussion threads up and ready.

I hope moerin's doing fine.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"

Actually, hold that thought; I might be re-jigging things depending on what other people do.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Okay.

If you're gonna change something.

"Exit muna si Polgas. Ang kailangan dito ay si Dobermaxx!"
