Third Leaf - Megaman Battle Network RP Sign Up thread

Like, one of its chips could be a string of servbots shot straight outwards

It'd have either a Blank affinity, or Obstacle

Net Op

• Name: Henry I. Roswell
• Gender: Male
• Age: 47
• Appearance: A touch under six-feet tall, with a touch of greying hair and permastubble. Complexion of a man who looks like he could have done a better job taking care of himself over his life, though he's in top physical shape for a man his age. Near always dresses professionally, including a stereotypical detectives' coat and tie.
• Previous Occupation: Police Detective
• Personality: World weary, old-school, and determined. Det. Roswell would probably be better suited for living in a past era, but he makes the most of the world he lives in. Having been around long enough to see things before practically everything got plugged in, he's not sure the world is entirely better off the way they are now, which can give him difficulty interacting with folks who are far more accustomed to and far more receptive to everything from 'Navis' to the networks they operate on. But despite his grizzled exterior, he's the kind of man you can count on to have your back when things get south and see things through to the end.
• Bio: Mr. Roswell began life as a cop in the days prior the net basically taking over every aspect of peoples lives, but it didn't last long before he got to witness its expansion into everyday life. And while he managed to survive in the new world, his skills - and preferences - remained very much suited for the physical world. On the bright side, this helped him to carve out a niche for himself for dealing with cases that were lighter on net involvement. Recruited to help provide an 'outsiders perspective' and providing some heavy lifting in the less technological fields, Henry Roswell wound up picking an experimental Navi that he interpreted as being full of glitches to give himself an excuse to use it as little as possible. However, he soon discovered that the Geminiman.exe program was far more functional than could have possibly suspected.
• Skills:
  • Highly Experience Police Officer
  • Expert Driver
  • Real-World Combat Experience
  • Physically Fit
• Battlechips:
  • Air Hockey
  • Boomer
  • Rock Cube (Modded to be a 'dumb' Gemini Man Clone)
  • Barrier 100
  • Recover 120

Net Navi

• Name: Gemini Man.exe
• Gender: Male
• Inspiration: Gemini Man
• Appearance: Think a streamlined, less pointy version of the original Gemini Man design.
• Personality: What at first looks like a glitch and error-prone Navi, Gemini Man is in fact operating on over-time in a way that can be difficult to pick up on. In some ways, he's a multitude of Navis built into one program, intended to be the ultimate multi-tasker. This can make him difficult to understand and easy to mis-interpret since his mind can run in multiple directions at once, giving the impression of being an aloof cloud cuckoolander. Really, he's simply operating on his own level with only half the picture being available for others to see, which becomes easier to understand the more you get to know him.
• Affinity: None
• Custom:
  • Split: Gemini Man sacrifices a % of his current HP to clone himself - this clone's HP and power is equal to the % of sacrificed HP, and is capable of using all battle chips the original can use other than Split or Holoclone. If clone is dismissed at will, original Gemini Man recovers all remaining HP possessed by that clone at time of dismissal.
  • Holoclone: Gemini Man creates a visual replica of another Navi at a given location, this replica imitates the actions of the original, but glitches when physically interacted with and disperses either upon command or when sufficient force is applied.

@Amporius: I know there are no real world countries, but honestly, I figure it's better to refer to them in passing on a character sheet so you can help picture the kind of character I've come up with rather than try something else and confuse people.

My first RP forum back in 2006 was MMBN based. Just an interesting note :P

@Sparty Alright, makes sense.

Detective Roswell is accepted, though, I suggest taking something other than "Bugfix", since you won't be seeing bugs.

I'll have a thread set up either later today, or some point tomorrow.

As a note, those of you more familiar with the series will remember that you have a basic attack in the game. Of course, you'll also have one. It'll be thematically appropriate in "fluff", but it'll basically always be the same sort of "single shot low-damage projectile". For Chillpenguin.EXE, for example, it might be a single icicle shot, or something of the sort.

Yeah, that's kind of the general idea for Vile.exe's V- Blaster.

Assault_Gear has a standard buster, just his looks more like a fancy blocky sci fi pistol.

Swapped out Bug Fix for a flavorful version of Rock Cube, as well as switched out the Reflector for what's probably a more appropriate Barrier.

Also, did just a touch of a change to the second custom power to help clarify it.

edited 26th Feb '15 8:23:02 AM by TheSpaceJawa

That's why I put 'Tac Buster' under custom powers - because I figure that a buster customization would be acceptable if I gave up a custom chip slot for it.

Of course, if it's not, I can definitely think of something else to drop there instead.

Is there still time to join?

Are there still open spots? If so, I'd be more than happy to be able to join. I've been a huge fan of the MMBN from a young age, and never even thought of having an RP about it. I sure do hope there's still time to join.

@Sparty if you word it a bit differently, so it's clear that it's just a customization, that's fine.

There's still some time, don't worry. You've got at most a day.

Great! I'll try to make a post once I get home. That way, I'll have time to think about each character.

For Prometheus, his standard weapon is his scythe, kind of like how ProtoMan and Colonel have swords. The Beam Scythe Battlechip just allows him to unleash a powerful attack with it.

Well, I suppose yours will be a rather weak slash directly in front

Net Op

• Name: Maxwell "Max" Banner
• Gender: Male
• Age: 19
• Appearance: Max is rather short for his age, being only 5'9. He has dark green eyes with bags underneath them, a simple red-and-white striped shirt with a black jacket vest, which he keeps open at all times. He sports dark gray jeans and black-and-white sneakers. Accessory-wise, he has a single red wristband on his right wrist.
• Previous occupation: Part-timer at a chip store
• Personality: Rather quiet at first, but becomes much more lively when he becomes close to people. He is generally tired, due to having insomnia for most of the time. Though most consider him a social outcast, he actually enjoys making new friends. When in the heat of battle, he becomes deathly serious, planning every move according to the situation at hand.
• Bio: Max was fascinated by Net Navis from a young age. Though no matter how many times he asked his parents for one, his parents would always say they either had no money for one, or that he didn't need one. Once he finished school, he went to work part-time at a chip store named Battle Station in order to buy his own Net Navi. His employer, admiring the boy's determination, instead of paying him for the week, gave him his own customizable Net Navi, which he named Yashin, after his ambition to get a Net Navi as soon as possible. He and Yashin get along very well, which makes for even greater teamwork when fighting viruses.
• Skills:
  • Generally easy to get along with
  • Strategically intelligent
  • Has great teamwork with his Net Navi, Yashin
• Battle Chips
  • Sword
  • Long Sword
  • Wide Sword
  • Area Grab
  • Panel Out

Net Navi

• Name: Yashin.EXE
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Black-blue spiky hair that exits out his black and white helmet. He wears a black jumpsuit with white tracing lines. He has silver, pointed shoulder pads and knee pads. The symbol on the middle of his chest and on the sides of his helmet resemble a pair of blades crossing each other in an X shape. His hands can also turn into white blades for combat.
• Personality: Strong and resilient, but also relatively easy to get along with. He shares many personality traits as his operator, such as becoming extremely serious when in battle, and adapting to near any situation.
• Affinity: Sword
• Custom:
  • X-Slash: Yashin slashes diagonally in an x shape, destroying obstacles in those areas.
  • Blade Cannon: Fires three blade-like objects in a straight line ahead of him.

Did you specifically choose chips for a Program Advance?

Well, yes and no. Yashin has little to no range, so his strength lies in close-up combat. Thus, Max gives him select P As to bring out the best of Yashin, even though those P As can only be used once.

I hope my signup isn't terrible awful from all the time I've spent without roleplaying or writing.

• Net Op

• Name: Blaine Hargrave
• Gender: Male
• Age: 18
• Appearance: He is tall, thin and bony and fair skinned, his eyes the color of coal and his short, well trimmed hair just as black, with few notable characteristics that would make him stand out in a crowd. He wears dark clothes, usually black or blue, long sleeved shirts, and his pants are equally large. His mannerisms stand out more than his appearance does, as Blaine acts in a composed, refined way.
• Previous Occupation: Civilian/student.
• Personality: Blaine seems cold and distant at first, as he prefers to keep to himself until he knows his surroundings well enough to interact more personally with others - which has brought him problems on being too unsociable sometimes -, but if given time he can become a resourceful, amiable and conversative companion. He is very analytical toward his environment, including people, and usually tries to follow rules and establish methods rather than being creative and individualistic. Under pressure, he is capable of remaining calm and collected, which is one of the reasons why he was accepted on the job, but his lack of flexibility serves as a counterpoint.
• Bio: Born in a family of wealth, Blaine had his life given to him in a silver plate, sometimes literally. He had access to the highest level of education and to all sorts of technology, or at the very least he had access to most of them. That was until his family's business went in the wrong way and his father's company became bankrupt due to the meddling of Mitsuba Channel. From there on he was forced into a more humble life as his family went through serious hardships, sometimes being helped by his relatives, sometimes being left to fend for themselves. When Blaine became older, he saw the opportunity to pursue Mitsuba Channel by joining RIT, as well as find a way exact revenge on those who ruined his family.
• Skills: Blaine had grades higher than average while he was a student, being particularly good at mathematics and physics. His analytical, collected self were reasons why he was accepted for the job, though what impressed most of the staff was that Blaine was capable of maintaining an optimal work and personal relationship with his tempestuous Net NAVI, Magma Dragoon.exe, who is notorious for being rebel and uncooperative. How he achieved this is still a mystery.
• Battlechips:
  • Meteors
  • Fire Hit
  • Fire Burn
  • Heat Dragon
  • Recover

  • Net Navi

• Name: Magma Dragoon.exe
• Gender: Male
• Inspiration: Magma Dragoon, Megaman X4/X5
• Appearance: [http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/5/5c/Mmx4magmadragoon.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/270?cb=20090224144842]
• Personality: Magma Dragoon.exe has a fierce personality, being reckless enough to get into serious harm in order to finish his task, impulsive to the extent of going through extreme methods to fulfill his objectives, and overall hard to cope with. In fact, his creator was not capable of operating him optimally due to his difficult personality, and thus he was left for another operator to show capability on handling Dragoon. He tends to dislike teammates and prefers to work only with his operator. Often he finds practical solutions to common problems, such as breaking whatever obstacle is infront of him rather than turn around it. His competitive nature leads him to give his best during missions and surpass his limits, although it contributes to his pride and boasting later.
• Affinity: Fire
• Custom:
  • Flame Shot - Magma Dragoon.exe shoots several simultaneous fireballs from his mouth, or shoots a single, bigger fireball. It takes a bit until he is ready to fire them, so his defenses become wide open during that time (usually three seconds or so).
  • Hadoken - What the name says.

@Experimental Divine

Ah, I knew I recognized you from somewhere.

Yeah, I'll pass.

Pass on you, that is.

@Rapier

Structure your sheet a little better (see other people's sheets), and rename your moves to something... better.

Then I think we're set.

edited 27th Feb '15 4:58:33 AM by amporiusrex

Sounds good, especially with the extremely varied little group we have. This is going to be good.

The problem is, his attack is really called Hadoken in canon, so I can't change the name. I tried finding a better, more coherent name to his other ability, though.

Okay, so Sign-Ups are now closed to the general public except for those who've already expressed some interest in this RP

I'll get to work on that starting post

Here's the Discussion thread

To those of you who haven't yet finished, you've got around 6 hours.

Yeah, something just came up. College. Not going to have time.

Sorry.
