Character for me?
- Name: Ghost

- Universe: Mortal Kombat
- Appearance: Ghost appears translucent, underneath a costume made of black fabric attracted to the shadow material he is made of. Since he was at the beginning of his consciousness recursion , his skin, although white resembles scales. His eyes are a yellow, with slits for pupils.
- Race: Wraith , formerly saurian.
- Powers/Skills/Equipment: Ghost is permanently intangible, whether he wants to be or not. This makes him useless in a fight. The shadow material mentioned above allows him to hold small objects. Ghost also has some abilities he can control, namely short-range teleportation and invisibility.
- History: Before his death at the hands of the Lin Kuei, he was one of the Shirai Ryu's top assassins. Ghost spent years planning his escape from the Netherrealm , finally learning the sorcery to facilitate his escape, although he had no mastery, meaning his soul escaped without his body. Now Ghost simply wanders, in search of a physical body.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.Well, if the mech in question is one of those huge, akyscraper sized things, it would probably need rebalancing.
If it's something more like a Mini-Mecha, then it should be cool. Depends on the specific mech.
Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.Assuming this
◊ RL replica is to scale, and I'm looking at it right, size is OK. If it has wpowerful weaponry in the region of Beam Spam , Macross Missile Massacre, etc please tone it dow.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.Well, here's the character:
- Name: Lee Cooper
- RP: Mythril Aces
- Appearance: An average-looking man with dark hair who stands around 6' 3''
- Race: Human.
- Skills/Powers/Equipment: Frame Pilot. Currently pilot of a KPC-01 'Magnetite'.
- History: A proud Ace of the Earth Federation. Not really sure what to put here besides that.
Info for the Magnetite(Copypasted from here
):
- KPC-01 'Magnetite'
- A bipedal Frame similar to the Quicksilver. However, it is bulkier and larger, with noticably broader shoulders. It's hands are huge, with crushing motors in the joints.
- The large hands are used for crushing and tearing debris into sizes usable by its main weapon, the Mass Driver.
- Armaments
- x1 Shoulder mounted Mass Driver, consisting of two powerful, railgun-like accelerators that can propel anything that fits inside to devastating speeds. It has a supply of bullets built in for use, but these are in short supply and rarely used- Instead, it can use its hands to crush debris- from Frames, ships, or whatever- into 'bullets'.
- Prone to jamming or misfires, especially in inexperienced hands.
- Despite being produced by the huge Metallurgy Corp, only a few hundred were ever produced, and much fewer remain due to the aforementioned reason. Still considered a 'prototype' and thus not in use by the main military.
- 16m tall
- Slow to accelerate
- Best paired with Sharks- they leave plenty of debris for the Magnetites to use.

(◕ ヮ ◕)ノOh hai!
- Name: Velia di Costo
- RP: Dragon Age:Shadow of the Qun
- Universe: Dragon Age Universe
- Appearance: Short with brown hair. She has a thin body type, and she is of an olive complexion.
- Race:Human
- Skills/Powers/Equipment: Skilled in agility, theft, trap Setting. No supernatural powers, carries around two obsidian handled daggers.
- History: Velia was born to a pair of wealthy merchants in Antiva. At a young age, she discovered that she had a penchant for taking things that didn't belong to her. This was mostly due to her intrusive thoughts she would get, particulary the urge to curse the Maker. When she took things, it would calm those thoughts. This would get her into much trouble as the years wore on. She took whatever she could get her hands on, frequently shaming her family. They decided enough was enough when she tried to make off with the ring at a family friend's wedding. Deciding that she was too far gone to help and disowned her for their own public image. Stranded in the streets and relying on pickpocketing, Velia's theft turned from reasons of pure pleasure and compulsion to ones of practicality. It is here where she learned the basics of stealth, and the means to defend herself. She originally came to Rivain with an idealistic ambition of becoming a pirate, however, this never came to fruition. She fell in with mercs instead.

Nothing to see here. Move along.OK guys, I'm back! Some shtuffs to do, so let's get to it!
@ Re Dead: Lee's good. Welcome.
@ JAU: Should be good, since I stated an OC from a TV Tropes RP, so long as they're actually a character.
@ Slash: That's good.
I used the word 'good' too much.

Curse the ill fortune that led you to me.Greetings.
- Name: ‘Brad Wilkins’ (His True Name can't be pronounced in our tongue, so he just goes by 'Brad')
- RP: Superhero Roleplay
- Appearance: (The Brad Form:) 6’1” Short dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, tanned skin, average weight. He is always seen wearing a black polo shirt with khaki cargo pants. His true form is mostly a shapeless, black blob.
- Race: Devourer, a kind of Eldritch Abomination
- Skills/Powers/Equipment: He is able to turn any part of his body into any organic substance, complete with regeneration. His powerset lies somewhere between Alex Mercer (without the Emo-Peter Pan bit, if he wants to fly, he could sprout wings from his back) and William Birkin. His weakness is elemental damage (Fire, Lightning, Extreme Cold). Toxins bother him, but don’t do any permanent damage. Neither to piercing damage or blunt-force trauma.
- History: ‘Brad’ came to this planet on a small meteor that crashed on the outskirts of a booming metropolis. Its first victims were a pair of young adults parked out on ‘Lover’s Lane, ’ Brad and Jenny. From there, it devoured several more humans that it came across before finally making its way to the next city over. The creature was becoming more confident, and began attacking in public. It was eventually confronted by a crack military team that ‘killed’ it while it was in human form. They shot it in the head with a high caliber rifle, destroying its brain. This didn’t kill it, however; it only erased its memories of being a cosmic horror. Long story short, the creature’s ‘body’ was taken to a laboratory for further study, where it regenerated its destroyed organs and managed to escape.
I hope he's not too overpowered. My only other option is a girl who can summon wasps from Hammerspace.

Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.Ok, I think I have settled on a character, but he's a vampire, so before I decide that this character is feasible in this setting, I need to know two things.
1) Are there NPC-esque humans in the Ether?
2) Would I be allowed to have him snack on my fellow PCs (with the players consent, of course)?
Plum - Define conventional weapons. Bullets hurt him but don't do any permanent damage (the regenration thing). Fire can destroy him on a cellular level (he can't regenerate ash). If he, say, ate a grenade, he'd be functionally dead for a while until his body has had time to heal. Only the largest chunk of him would regenerate, like an earthworm. The same, I guess, goes if he would be cut in half and the pieces wouldn't be able to merge.
I hope that clarified things.

Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.Alright. Well, here he is. Jan Arcos, the ironic, tapdancing vampire.
Name: Jan Arcos
RP: Cthulhu and The Vampettes
Universe: Original 'verse.
Appearance: A tall, regal-looking man with definitely slavic facial features, he has medium-lenght curly black hair and a mustache and soul patch combo that looks very carefully groomed. He tends to dress in a wide veriety of outfits, from various kind of period dresses to what might pass for normal street clothing to a black leather trenchcoat. What he dresses in depends on how ridiculous he feels like looking in his big personal challenge to be the most stereotypical vampire possible.
Race: Nosferatu-clan Vampire
Skills/Powers/Equipment: Being a Nosferatu vampire, he is extremely resistant to damage not dealt by weapons infused with silver, cold iron or any sort of magic. Granted, he'll die if you shoot/stab/hit him enough, but his bloodline gives him high speed and agility, so this might not be easy. In addition, he can charm, or "glamour" weak-willed targets and turn into a bat, a wolf or mist. Skillwise, he's an expert fencer, fairly good at gunplay, free running and tapdancing. He has a silver-inlaid swordcane and a pistol with him at all times.
History: Jan was a transylvanian farm boy for the first 18 or so years of his life until he was called to be the servant of a local noble, who turned out to be a vampire and after not too long turned Jan into one as well. Jan found it hard to settle with the man, and struck out for himself after just a few decades with his "master." He bounced around in central Europe for quite a long time, enduring the hardships a young, low-blooded vampire tends to endure, before a major upheaval in the vampire world opened up possibilities. He joined the BVI, The Bureau of Vampire Investigations, a police force serving and protecting vampirekind. Later, he would rack up what reports would call a lengthy record of "lack of regard for proper procedure, an almost disturbing tendency to attract renfields * and a strange sense of humor"

The Ether - A world pieced together from fragments of many worlds, some long forgotten, some that just peacefully exist. They became a world, connected as easily as cyberspace. The Ether is a temperamental place. Some areas it will help it's denizens and travellers. Some areas are plain and simple deadly.
But The Ether is a world not encountered by most. In fact, it is an unknown to anyone who has not visited it. And of those who have visited it, very few return.
Welcome, Tropers, to the TV Tropes Universe. Here, we are running what we would call an RP crossover. Literally a crossover between RPs from this forum.
Your characters are taken from other RPs hosted on this forum, taken into a world known as the Ether to it's inhabitants. Your goal? Escape.
You will meet up with other characters and you need to count on them to survive. So, what are the rules on the characters?
RULE ONE: Characters must be OCs from an RP hosted on the TV Tropes forum. The RP in question only has to be one that launched. The source RP can be a dead RP.
RULE TWO: Characters must be Super Weight 2 or lower. If they are not, you may temporarily reduce their power to match
RULE THREE: One player, one character. This rule can be broken with good reason.
This is a signup sheet, all you need to put in is here.
That'll be it for now. I will put up my sheet in another post.
I will see you in the Ether.
