The RP thread is here and the discussion thread is here. We've started, but the more the merrier. Or, the more miserable. Whatever works.tongue

The original TV Tropes Universe went quickly down the tubes, and I blame me for being an arse. Oh well, I say try again, now I've improved and such. I've shaken up the plot a tiny bit, but otherwise it's the same RP, less 'me being a tit'.

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.

  • Addendum 1 (added 19th Sep): No resurrection.

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.

  • Name: Self Explanatory
  • RP: The RP from which your character originates. Link please.
    • Universe: If the RP is based on another universe, please state what universe. If not, please indicate original universe.
  • Appearance: What do they look like?
  • Race: This is not being racist; it's for RPs with non-humans.
  • Skills/Powers/Equipment: another self-explanatory field.
  • History: Just a little bit of flavour about your character.
  • Why you picked this one: Just a bit of an opportunity to tell us why you like your character enough to stick them in a multiverse crossover world probably against their will

I can only hope this goes a smidgeon better this time. I'll throw my character in when I get back to my PC.

  • Name: Petty Officer Third Class Dean-118
  • RP: Halo: Fate Of Eridanus II
  • Race: Human
  • Equipment: Some weaponry: Submachinegun and Shotgun, Medical equipment- everything you could be expecting a field medic to carry. Modular MJOLINR Mark V Power Armor.
  • Abilities: Is medically trained.
  • History: Dean comes from Portsmouth, England on Earth, and has a distinguished history in the UNSC Navy. He has been promoted many times for bravery in the face of the Covenant and saving an amazing amount of UNSC marines during his career, he has been demoted just as many for disobeying direct orders on a disturbingly often basis and once dropped many positions for striking a superior officer. Dean is now getting a bit old for a SPARTAN, but he finds the battlefield impossible to leave.
  • Why?: There are a number of practical reasons to pick Dean back up, but mostly, he's one of my favourite characters I never got to play.

Players

  • Dean-118/Halo:Fate of Eridanus II/Plumbum
  • Shiela Athlon/Random Events RP/Tools Of Destruction
  • Stephan Donnor/Aut Omnia Aut Nihil/Bindlestick
  • Michael Volkov/Strigon
  • Amaranth/The World: .hack//ROLEPLAY/Awe Striker
  • Sora-124/Halo:Fate of Eridanus II/Deadbeatloser22
  • Ravindra/Finish Him!/Cien Caras
  • Brad Wilkins/Superhero Roleplay/Karl Kadaver
  • Francis Whitemore/Cthulu and the Vampettes/clawthewolf
  • Ace Spellbound/Mariglenica: 50Yl8r: Endless Chaos/Mousa The 14
  • Lucas 'Rook' Kinsler/Mass Effect RP/Infinite Paragon
  • Etoral/Kingdom Hearts: Twilight of the Stars/bluesunnyday

Just need to dig out an old RP character.

Got one!

  • Name: Sheila Athlon

  • RP: Random Events RP..
  • Universe: A universe where people hunt down demons and angels in the future. Not set on Earth.
  • Appearance: Medium height, ginger hair, grey eyes. Wears tattered clothes and not shoes.

  • Why you picked this one: The most interesting and underdeveloped RP character I've played.

Is this okay?

Are unintroduced characters from dead roleplays allowed? The one I was using isn't interesting enough.

(I had her statted and approved and everything - the only thing I had left to do was introduce her.)

Name: Stephan Donnor

RP: Aut Omnia Aut Nihil.

Appearance:Stephan stands at around 6'5. His hair his long and red and he has a tangled red beard. His wears rough hide armor and his brown eyes look wild and fierce in the right light. A large hammer, the fabled Mjollnir, hangs from his belt.

Race: Human, Inheritor.

Skills/Powers/Equipment: Sharing a body with the divine essence of Thor, the Norse god of thunder, strength, and protection, Stephan is able to control thunder and lightning, firing bolts of lightning and calling up deafening thunderclaps. He possesses superhuman srength as well. Stephan wields Mjollnir, the legendary hammer. Stephan is able to throw the hammer with great force and it will return to him without fail. He can also use the hammer to fly by twirling the strap around his wrist and releasing, letting the hammer tug him through the air.

However, Stephan has difficulty steering when flying and as he uses each of his abilites, they become progressively weaker until the battle ends and they are restored to their normal levels of power.

History: Stephan was born in nothern California in a family of five. He was a rather mean child, insulting or injuring those weaker than him. As he grew older, he took up drinking. He moved away from his family at the age of 19. He's since grown out of that behaviour, though he still tends to react to tought situations with violence.

Yeah, of course it was, longish time ago, memory never serves me right.

Well, I already know your char, so it's all good if you use Sora. A favour to ask, though, could you drop us a non-Haloified version of your sheet here for the benefit of non-Halo fans? I just mean stuff like turning 'M90 Close Assault Weapon System' to Shotgun, etc.

Also, your char outranks mine... Ow.tongue

  • Name: Amaranth
  • RP: The World: .hack//ROLEPLAY *
  • Appearance: A woman with short black hair and verdant green robes that look like they'd be from New Mexico if it weren't for the color
  • Race: Digital Avatar that appears human (and is controlled by one)
  • Equipment: A staff (it looks kind of like a net, but it's all one seamless piece of wood with fabric handholds) and an inventory of semi-standard RPG items (potions and the like)
  • Abilities: Magic - she starts out with only one spell (a wind blade attack called "Zan Zas"), but gets more as she obtains more equipment. However, casting reduces her SP, which she has a limited supply of, although it regenerates slowly over time.
  • History: Amaranth is the MMORPG character of a childless housewife named Cheryl Gilliam - or rather, one of five such characters. She is a good judge of skill and cares about people, but Cheryl's short-term memory problems sometimes cause her to forget which character she's using (sometimes going so far as to attack directly with the staff rather than casting). However, strange things can happen in "The World", things that have never happened to the other four...
  • Why: The RP died right after she was approved, so I never got to use her.

OK, putting this here since the B-Net isn't likely to update any time soon:

  • Name: Petty Officer Second Class Sora-124
  • RP: Halo: Fate Of Eridanus II
  • Appearance: Short black hair, blue eyes. Built roughly the same as all the other SPARTA Ns.
  • Race: Augmented human / SPARTAN
  • Equipment: Customised MJOLNIR MK.V armour (screenshot), spare ammunition, various demolition and breaching explosives and EOD kit.
  • Weapons: Assault Rifle, Handgun, grenade launcher
  • Skills: Trained demolitions and EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) specialist.
  • History: Not much is known about Sora, given that, like the other SPARTAN-I Is, her records have either been heavily redacted or expunged completely. The first known record of her existence is on the manifest of the 75 SPARTAN-II candidates on Reach in 2517, aged six. During training, she was far from an ideal candidate, often falling behind the others. However, she excelled when working with explosives. She also spent three months in a medically induced coma due to complications with her augmentations, but subsequently recovered and participated in several operations against both the Human Insurrection and the Covenant.
  • Why you picked this one: RP died before I could really do anything with her.
