The Day They Became Real (Crossover) - Interest Check

Wait, if Charles is poofed, won't he reform into Pearl and Amethyst? How would that work?

Human Name: Elize Bhukwana.

Character: Corvo Attano.

Gender: Female/Male.

Age: 18/39 (Dishonored 1 age).

Personality: Elize is bubbly, sweet, and overall nice to be around, as well as a huge gamer. This made her transformation into Corvo a bit easier to accept, but she has trouble remembering that instead of a short African-American girl, people see a tall, deadly-looking white man. This has also provoked a bit of a gender crisis.

Powers: Very good at being stealthy, sneak attacks, and other rogue-like abilities. She can also teleport a short distance forwards, and an even shorter distance upward, and can use her Dark Vision ability to see other beings nearby (whether living, unconscious, dead, or through walls/the floor), and what they can see (not seeing through their eyes; the area they're looking at shows up a a cone of light originating from their eyes).

Are we allowed multiple characters? If so:

• Human Name: Mina Pikes
• Character: Her Imperious Condescension
• Gender: Female
• Age: 20/Really glubbing old
• Personality: Mina is a very kindhearted and shy veterinary student. She hates to make a fuss, but unfortunately her current status as a 7-foot-tall fish alien empress rather makes that hard. In addition, after her transformation, she's gained a proclivity towards fish puns, and has become rather more fond of gold, glitter, and murderous clowns.
• Powers: Incredibly strong and durable - a young tyrian-blooded troll can jump a few hundred feet from a swimming start and drag a full-grown whale down into the ocean. She can also swim underwater, of course, to incredible pressures and depths, and see in that darkness. In addition, Mina is now privy to many psychic powers - telekinesis, eye-blasts (not so powerful as the moon-destroying blasts in canon), animal and human mind control, and the ability to extend life and heal injuries with a touch. Mina also has the Homestuck standard sylladex (essentially hammerspace.)

I'm not so sure about doing the genderswap thing if Tojin's also doing it (or rather, if I'd been going with the pony, that'd have been cool to have both ways of genderswap) and it might be a possibility that I change this character a little by the time of the RP if I continue to feel less comfortable with it.

• Human Name: Elizabeth ("Ellie") Jamieson
• Character: Yuya Sakaki. Have an image.◊
• Gender: Female (Ellie) / Male (Yuya)
• Age: 19 (Ellie) / 14 (Yuya)
• Personality: Ellie used to be the very definition of a class clown. She would take any opportunity to goof off and make folks laugh either at or with her and rarely took a single situation in her life seriously - of course, Yuya, gender differences or not, made a real decent form to match up with her...
• Powers: Yuya himself ^{doesn't have an abundance of powers} Yes, this is because I don't watch in moonspeak. I am vaguely aware of some berserk thing but I know nothing about it. aside from some quite impressive acrobatic skill and athleticism - however, he has brought some of the more signature monsters along, although so many of the upgraded cards have been scattered around that Ellie only has a very few of his cards. If a Monster is destroyed in a fight or an Action Spell is used, it cannot be used again until the next day. There can also only be "Odd-Eyes Dragon" and only one other monster active at the same time.
  • Monsters:
    • Odd-Eyes Dragon◊: Middling-High attacking ability, Middling defensive power. For a size reference, Yuya can stand on its back and reaches about as high as its spines (and can hold those for balance). Has a Breath Attack known as Spiral Flame.
  • Spells:
    • Evasion: Allows a monster avoid one attack (and one attack only).
    • Miracle: Guarantees that a Monster will survive an attack, but doesn't do a lot to make it hurt less.
    • Flame Power: Grants a monster a small attack power boost and makes its attack an Armor-Piercing Attack.

All accepted.

@Karrin: You can have as many characters as you think you can handle. Try not to go overboard though. As for Charles, his consciousness is split between the two gemstones, so Amethyst and Pearl are gone. And he needs them both together to reform.

I meant more like, would those two Gems reform into Pearl- and Amethyst-shaped Charleses? Would each one be a complete Charles or would his consciousness be split into two parts?

I could probably make another character, but I'm gonna stick with my first one for now.

• Human Name: Sabine Sparks
• Character: Terezi Pyrope (appearance)
• Sex: Female/Female
• Age: Yet to be picked, but somewhere in the 30-40 range/13 (in human years)
• Personality: While she used to be a vivacious girl, the accident changed her, and she became more withdrawn and melancholic. However, after the transformation she's slowly becoming more bubbly. Is she returning to her true self thanks to reclaiming her sight and her youth, or is Terezi's canon personality somehow affecting hers?
• Backstory: Sabine was an intelligent and athletic girl, who practiced martial arts and hoped to take up the sport professionally. Unfortunately, an accident at the age of 18 years left her blind and partially crippled. She has since taken up the profession of a Physics teacher at a Catholic school and has been trying to forget about her dreams, since she figured she'd never be able to make them come true.
• Powers:
  • Sylladex: Like most Homestuck characters, Terezi possesses a Sylladex, a sort of Hammerspace inventory. She can store ("captchalogue") items within special Sylladex cards and retrieve them at any time.
  • Synaesthesia: While Terezi is technically blind, she has the ability to smell and taste colors. So sensitive is her smell that's she's capable of reconstructing the entire visual scene by scent alone, essentially allowing her to see as well as a short-sighted person without glasses would. If she needs to take a closer "look" at something, she can lick it to examine it by taste.
  • Spear Cane: A piece of equipment: a cane which doubles as a spear, and can also be used as a segmented flail.
  • Rocket Wings: Another useful item, this one's a dragon-themed rocket pack.
  • Alternian: As a native of Alternia, Terezi is tougher and stronger than a human.

@KarrinBlue: You've a Homestuck character, too? I'll admit, I haven't read the comic in a long time (it's been a bit over two years or so), so maybe you can take a quick look at my profile and let me know if you see anything erroneous, or since jossed.

EDIT: Exact details of Sabine's past and personality may undergo some slight changes as I'm still working on it, but what you see there is the general outline.

Well, thanks to the Ret John, Terezi's blind again. I don't think any of Terezi's Seer of Mind powers will be applicable in this RP, for the same reason I left out Kuroe's Eye of the Mind (True) Skill. Though as a tealblood Sabine is now stronger and able to endure more than a human could. Also you could easily justify having a dragon jetpack.

If I'm not mistaken, there's nothing wrong with plucking a version of the character from earlier in their verse's timeline — we don't necessarily need to always pick the most up-to-date one, right? So I can just decide that this is Terezi as of the troll's Sburb session, back in Act 5.

Thanks for reminding me of the jetpack btw.

Hmm, if we're allowed multiple characters I might go with my pair of original ideas without lumping both into one.

Possible interest, but what if the character we use has multiple versions? Would we use one specific one, or could we use a composite of some kind?

Interest but I have a question. Could they take their bodies too or just their powers?

A composite is fine.

They do get the bodies. That's kind of the point.

@korodzik: Accepted.

Just re-checking: personality-less RPG protags are fine, yes?

Yes

There still room?

There's always room.

• Human Name: Jeremy Atkin
• Character: Kamen Rider Decade
• Gender: Male
• Age: Jeremy (21)/Tsukasa: 23
• Personality: Jeremy is a very happy, go lucky individual that always tries to look on the brighter side of a negative situation, with a love for Japanese Culture, specifically Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. Being Tsukasa, however, seems to be making him a bit more...angry. Not too good for him.
• Powers: Being Kamen Rider Decade, Jeremy has the ability to turn into the previous Kamen Riders before him, Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, and Kiva. However, because of the strange powers, he can't access all of them. Not only are they on a time limit of use for him (A whopping 10 minutes!), but he can only access one at a time. Once the card is locked and scanned, the others become inert and unusable. Without the cards, however, while in the suit (accessed from Decadriver), his reflexes and strength become increased.

• Human name: Shakhar Richter.
• Character: the Embermage.
• Gender: Female.
• Age: 21\33.
• Personality: Shakhar is Brilliant, but Lazy. If she puts her mind to things she can excel, but she prefers to spend her time writing, reading and hanging out with her friends, who are all not exactly normal. She's slow to anger but slower to forgive; slow to befriend (and a bit shy) but a fast friend; and fast to laugh. Having the Embermage in her head made her just a little bit more adventurous. Not much.
• Powers:
  • Equipment: the Embermage's clothing (and armaments) make Shakhar stronger (not by a lot), tougher by a good margin, faster and more dexterous and much, much better with anything magical. It also provides very good protection — both against physical attacks and against fire, poison, ice and electric elemental attacks. Various items also confer increases in magical attack power, a limited healing factor (rather slow) and a chance to block, deflect or dodge attacks.
  • Suicide Wand: this skull-adorned wand fires bolts of electric-burning ice. It also silences anything its bolts hit (for a second, true, but that might be everything in a battle); has a chance to stun its targets; and rarely calls down lighting from the heavens to strike its target. Has a chance to Burn, Shock or Freeze enemies.
  • Shardkeeper: this staff's head is adorned by floating blue gems. It increases Shakhar's cast speed by a little and has a chance to paralyse creatures it hits.
  • Ghost: Ghost is the Embermage's pet wolf, transformed into a powerful (if ugly) Molebeast by eating a Tunnel Shark. Its strikes have a chance to stun.
  • Magma Spear: this spell shoots forth a barrage of magma to pierce the Embermage's foes. All Embermagi know this spell, but since this particular one did not specialise in it, it does not do a lot of damage. Has a chance to Burn enemies (important for the Brands).
  • Frost Phase: a Flash Step that also deals minor Ice damage around the Embermage and knocks enemies back.
  • Ice Prison: Summons ice pillars around a target, trapping it. The Embermage can freely pass through the Prison. The pillars reflect a portion of the damage dealt to them back to their attackers.
  • Prismatic Bolts: Unleashes five prismatic bolts that seek enemies. The bolts deal damage of all four elemental types (fire, ice, electricity and poison) and have a high chance to Burn, Freeze, Shock or Poison their targets. This is the Embermage's speciality and most common mode of attack.
  • Prismatic Rift: Roughly half the time, enemies that strike the Embermage in mélee get teleported a few metres away in a random direction and are stunned.
  • Brands: those special tattoos — the Embermage has ones for Fire, Ice and Lightning — mean that if she strikes a foe that is already Burned, Frozen or Poisoned, she deals further damage of the corresponding element.
  • Charge: the Embermage gains Charge by damaging enemies. Once enough Charge is gathered, the Embermage enters a state of total concentration for twelve seconds, wherein her casting speed is greatly increased and her spells deal extra damage.
• Appearance: The Embermage wielding the Suicide Wand and her trusty shield. Ghost can be seen at the left.◊ The Embermage with her helmet off, wielding Shardkeeper.◊

A question - are the PCs the only people transformed, or can we assume are there many other transformations happening around the globe?

• Human Name:Emil Colin
• Character:The Hunter
• Gender:Male
• Age:21(35 as The Hunter)
• Personality:Emil is a calm and and quiet fellow, who sometimes takes thing rather seriously, though if he really wants to, he can be humorous. while normally he would rather not fight or attack anybody, but after becoming The Hunter, he has become more bloodthirsthy and not afraid of fighting,and has a strange obssession over blood.
• Powers:Just like the Hunter himself, Emil is infused with the blood of beasts with him,granting him superhuman strenght, endurance and agility, in combat he can also temporarily turn one of his arms into a sharp clawed appendage, usually using it when impaling a stunned enemy.
• Equipment:Emil wears the Outfit that is worn by the Hunter◊, and for his weapons he carries the Saw Cleaver as a melee weapon and a Blunderbuss◊ as a firearm.

Don't you die on me, thread!

• Human Name: Nadia Kipper
• Character: Curly Brace◊
• Gender:Female
• Age: 23/???(according to the game's lore it has to be more than 10 but its not specified how much)
• Personality: Originally Nadia was a dutiful and determinate, if soft spoken lady. She somewhat of an introvert, perfectly content in doing her job from the backstage without much public recognition, and then curl up by herself and read a book for example. When she became Curly she continued to have her dutiful and helpful nature but became more peppy and outgoing, and rather than avoid being seen at work she stopped minding it. However this doesn't mean she seeks attention just that she's comfortable if someone pays some to her.
• Equipment:
  • Missile Launcher: A white bazooka meant to be worn on over the shoulder, it shoots out powerful straightforward missiles that explode on impact. She carries 10 missiles for it in her storage.
  • Fireball: It shoots out balls of fire that bounce along the ground. It carries infinite ammo
  • Machine gun: A powerful automatic weapon that fires white bullet in rapid succession. The gun carries 100 bullets as a default but they replenish when the gun isn't in use.
  • Nemesis: A dark-ish blue arm cannon with orange details on the tip of the barrel she fits over her right arm. The cannon shoots a pair of yellowish sparks of energy per shot with a rather long range. It has infinite ammo.
  • Booster V2.0: an azure blue packet that looks like a pair of sleek rectangular thrusters joined in the same chassis. While it doesn't provide free flight it does provide limited flight and an improvement to her mobility.
• Powers:
  • Hammer-space storage: A small pocket dimension in which she stores her guns and the ammo for her missile launcher, simply for them not to hinder her mobility
  • Mobility: Even without the advantage of the Booster she boasts of great speed and agility, surpassing any mere human in land speed and jump height. Not to mention to keep herself stable to be able to shoot with decent accuracy from almost any position.
  • Durability: Her robotic body allows her to take more punishment than any regular human being.
  • Endurance: Her robotic anatomy allow her to operate without rest or food, though she can still sleep and eat if she desires. She still needs to breathe to survive though.

Character: Jimmy Hopkins

Gender: Male
