The Toybox: A Different Kind of Crossover RP

Okay, here's an RP inspired by Toy Story and other similar works. The player characters are all toys in a typical American household with three kids, two sons and one daughter. They have many toys but unknown to them, these toys are alive and have their own society.

The players can be crossover characters or OC's, and the RP is divided into two settings. The two scenario settings are as follows...

• The House: The main setting where the toys live their lives and hold their society.
• Playtime: Various adventure scenarios that players can enter in exchange for powers, equipment, and other extra goodies. It can be anything from a tea party to a full-blown dungeon crawl. Players can go in adventuring parties or in groups, and though their character can die in certain playtime scenarios, they do not permanently die and simply return to the house. The more playtime scenarios you complete, the more rewards you get and the more prestige and respect you have in the house.

Here are the rules...

• Standard forum rules apply
• Player characters must be either humanoid toys (dolls, action figures, plushies, Army Men, etc.) or anthropomorphic (stuffed animals, robots, dinosaurs, talking trains and cars, etc.)
• No character death is permanent, and in the house, players cannot die.
• You can play any character you want, regardless of canonical Super Weight. But extremely powerful characters like say Sephiroth or Alucard must be nerfed at first and gain power through experience in playtime.

This sounds interesting. I might (read: I'll probably) join.

Also, how many characters are we allowed each?

As many as you want, though three is the recommended limit.

Tagging this.

As of right now I don't have nearly enough time to make a character sheet, but I definitely have interest for this and have some characters in mind. I will make one later today.

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."

Name: Steve

Toy Type: Stuffed Animal

Origin: Original Character

Alignment: Unaligned

Appearance: Steve is a white-bodied stuffed duck with a yellow beak and black bead eyes. He is about two feet long from beak to tail, seven inches wide at his widest, and five inches thick.

Starting Abilities: Steve is an able diplomat and gives good hugs.

Starting Equipment: Steve has no pockets to hold things in.

Personality: Steve is amiable and unhurried. Very little bothers him, and he is sometimes too passive for his own good, except when fun is at stake. Steve is very passionate about having fun and letting others have fun.

Life's too short, so love the one you got.

I'm probably going to post an OC later.

I think the only problem with this may be that I'm trying to play four characters instead of one; if that is a problem, I can easily just cut it down to the one character, and maybe have others unlock as I play.

• Name: Delta Squad, though they go by "Boss", "Scorch", "Fixer", and "Sev".
• Toy Type: Action Figure
• Origin: Star Wars
• Alignment: Lawful Neutral on most accounts, though Scorch tends towards Neutral Good and Sev towards Chaotic Neutral
• Appearance: Katarn II armor - a beefed up clone trooper suit - with different paint jobs for each member.◊ From left to right: Sev, Boss, Scorch, and Fixer.
• Starting Abilities:
  • Scorch is a very good demolitionist. As such, he is slightly more proficient with explosives, and slightly faster to arm them.
  • Fixer is an accomplished slicer (read: hacker). As such, he can very quickly hack computer systems.
  • Sev is an excellent marksman - as such, he benefits from greatly increased skill with snipers and long-range weapons.
• Starting Equipment:
  • Delta Squad's armor provides energy shields and a high-frequency wrist blade (read: Absurdly Sharp Blade).
  • A sidearm.◊ This is a low-strength, basic weapon. It has infinite ammo, but only a limited amount of shots it can fire at once.
  • A multirole rifle◊. The weapon can be changed between three modes; a fully automatic blaster rifle, a single-shot grenade launcher (Scorch is good with this), and a semi-automatic sniper rifle (Sev is good with this). All four Deltas have access to all three modes, but as said before, some are better than others with certain modes.
  • This thing.◊ A given Delta can use it to revive a downed squadmate. It only works on the Deltas because of their bacta processing implants.
  • Finally, each member of Delta Squad has space for a single "other" weapon from the local environment - it could be a sword, a unique gun, or a rocket launcher. They can only carry one each, and if they want to pick up something else, must drop what they are currently carrying.
  • Thermal detonators - basically frag grenades.
• Personality: The personalities of Delta Squad vary from member to member. Boss himself is rather quiet; when he is speaking it is usually giving orders to his squadmates, though he does have his moments of snark. Scorch is the team funny man; near-constantly cracking jokes and acting as though his ego is larger than himself. Fixer is the Only Sane Man; focused entirely on the mission, Fixer takes true pride in his hacking skills, and is often the first to remind his brothers to cut the chatter. Sev is a Sociopathic Sniper to a T; he and Scorch are the closest members of Delta Squad, and Sev quite enjoys killing, though not to the point where he'd go on a murder spree.
• Theme Song: Brothers, all.
• Other: Due to their status as a squad of elite commandoes, if any member of Delta Squad would be killed in a way that isn't absolute overkill (i.e. being shot in the head, blown up, stepped over or run on by a giant thing), they will go "down". So long as one Delta remains to revive the rest, they will not return to the house. If all of the Deltas become incapacitated, they "die" and return to the house.

Accepted

• Name: The Simurgh (Simmy for short)
• Toy Type: Stuffed Animal
• Origin: Worm
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
• Appearance: A tall sexless but feminine figure, with many asymmetrical wings fanned out like a wheel, her entire body pure white.◊
• Starting Abilities:
  • Flight: Oddly, her wings don't beat when she flies. She can move at about the speed you'd expect of an RC helicopter.
  • Mind Powers: Simmy cannot make sounds normally, but can 'talk' telepathically. She also likes singing this way. In addition, she can move things with telekinesis, though at first only things about half her own size or less. Eventually she may learn mind reading and precognition.
  • Regeneration: Her body slowly regrows itself if damaged. She also has a small marble in one of her wings which serves as her 'core'. As long as her core is intact, she can regenerate, though if her body is destroyed she'll go into a sort of stasis while she recovers.
• Starting Equipment: None
• Personality: A very calm being by nature, though she likes to play pranks on people when she has the chance.
• Theme Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oj0W9acWkhs

What is so amusing about this? Why do you take lives? How can you forget?

• Name: Bucky Barnes AKA the Winter Soldier
• Toy Type: Action Figure
• Origin: Marvel Comics
• Alignment: Lawful Good, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, depends on who he's working for really.
• Appearance: Who the hell is Bucky?◊
• Starting Abilities: Trained in all forms of ranged combat, left arm is extremely strong and dexterous
• Starting Equipment: Plastic HK 416 With Grenade Launcher Accessory, Plastic Pistol Accessory
• Personality: A blank slate who only serves to complete his mission when in the Winter Soldier persona, slowly breaking through to loyal Bucky who would die to save his friend Captain Steve Rogers.
• Theme Song: Creepy.

Other: Doesn't talk much save for small tidbits, will be mostly Blank Slate Persona here.

Got another one for ya.
