Roleplay


Crossroads is an interesting bar, one you can only find if you aren't looking for it. No one really knows that much about it, but they continue going there, even if they never quite remember what happened there, nor who they met there, but their memories are always far less hazy when they return.

When you enter Crossroads, you find that it is far larger on the inside, but that won't strike you as odd. In fact, nothing there seems especially weird unless you actually stop to think about it. In front of you, you will see a sign with one simple rule: No fighting. When you sit down and order yourself a something to drink, others will get there own drinks, be they a pint of beer, or what sounds like a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster.

Next to you, you may find that the cocky two headed man is speaking to a man in a black suit with a shiny black helmet. Only then will this strike you as odd, and you'll introduce yourself, and ask them why they have two heads, or why they are wearing that suit, and they, in turn, may ask what is with your red spandex suit with what looks to be a spider emblazoned on its front. Such is a typical night at Crossroads.


As you might have figured out from that introduction, Crossroads is about a bar that exists in all universes, and OCs will not be allowed. This RP will focus on character interactions more than fighting, but a overarching plot is planned, so fighting will eventually happen. The sign-up sheet is below:

  • Name: Self-explanatory.
  • Gender: Again, self-explanatory.
  • Universe: Which universe your character is from, and about when in its time line will the events happening.
  • Personality: How are does your character act, and what sort of person he/she/it/them are. Other things I'd like to know, but aren't strictly necessary, are what your character prefers to drink, and his/her/its/their reasons they drink...
  • Background: What's your character's backstory up to this point.
  • Appearance: How does your character look?
  • Powers: Please keep them around a Super Weight of 2 or lower, though a kind of low three may be acceptable. Please don't take this as a reason not to play fun characters since powerful characters can always be nerfed.
  • Other: Anything else you want to tell me about your character.

Accepted Characters list:

  1. Akiha Tohno/Tsukihime/Moerin
  2. Vezon/Bionicle/Lizard Of Aus
  3. Azusa Miura/The Idolmaster/Motree
  4. Bowser/Super Mario Bros/kagescorpionakki
  5. Ted Mosby/How I Met Your Mother/A Stray Bard
  6. Rarity/My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic/Fusionman
  7. Dalek Caan/Doctor Who/Geek Code Red
  8. Deadpool/Marvel/raigakuren
  9. Override/Transformers Exiles/Locoman
  10. James Bond/James Bond/Mega Magikarp
  11. Rance/Sengoku Rance/Clawthewolf
  12. Jim Rockford/The Rockford Files/Completely Normal Guy
  13. William Vendetti/Battlefield/Sparty Mc Fly
  14. GordanFreeman/Freemans Mind/Dragon 573
  15. Jack Marston/Red Dead Redemption/King Nerd
  16. Donna Cabot/Ace Combat/Sparty Mc Fly
  17. Kyosuke Nanbu/Super Robot Wars/Kaze Koichi
  18. R??? Ladone/Homestuck/Bassetete

  20. Link/Legend Of Zelda/Quarterman
  21. Peacock/Skullgirls/Artillery Omni

To draw despair of course!

I did put an app for Emiya Shirou but then I reread the post and I'm like... Nah, he wouldn't fit in the atmosphere so I withdrew the application.

pige: Think you should include an appearance section there?

I think it's because Unlimited Blade Works kind of pushes him up into being a type 3. >.> Although that could've been easily handwaved away, or simply nerfed a little bit to make him a better fit.

...A shame, really, as I'm planning to sign up with Akiha, and it'd be interesting to have someone from the same universe around, ahah~

As I said, low threes will probably be allowed, and, as I didn't say, higher ones can be nerfed...

So... could Rarity being the upper-class girl she is have gone to the bar before?

I presume she'd go during her emo phase in Suited for Success, after the Gala and after the whole Discord thing.

Depending on what happens this Saturday this may be her new reason to go.

Also, you spelled "powers" as "posers".

@Bindle Tell me. I won't respond until Monday though. Need sleep soon.

[up][up][up][up] Maybe that's where she was during Nightmare Night? Honestly, you don't need much justification to put them in the bar, why the characters are there will be explained as time goes on.

[up][up][up] Thanks. I do that a lot. 'S' and 'W' are literally right next to each other...

No Bind tell me now.

I'll respond in the morning ASAP.

@Death ...No she had a planned scene in Nightmare Night. I say it happened off-screen.

#15: Oct 30th 2011 at 10:47:51 PM

@Paris: A scene which never actually happened. Anyways, she could've gone to Crossroads after failing to get the costumes right...

#16: Oct 30th 2011 at 10:48:25 PM

Her scene involved Luna actually.

But I'll go with Bindle's plan. He smart.

deathpigeon Since: Jan, 2001 Relationship Status: One True Dodecahedron
#17: Oct 30th 2011 at 10:52:11 PM

I know it involved Luna, but her failing with Luna's costume would be another reason she drinks... Plus, before you guys get too in depth in your planning, I would like to say, if I was unclear before, I don't want this to be everyone's first time, and the RP will be over many nights, not just one night, with the characters returning to their universes before the place closes up for the night...

Don't worry, it's nothing too complex.

And I have no problem with the two of you plotting, but I want you to have all the information going in so that your plans aren't completely messed up by my first post of the actual RP...

  • Name: Akiha Tohno
  • Gender: Female
  • Universe: Tsukihime
  • Personality: Proud and somewhat haughty, and can come off as kind of a bitch to people only casually acquainted with her. Underneath her admitedly bitchy exterior, though, she's a kind, sweet, caring young woman, especially in regards to her adopted brother Shiki (when she's not chewing him out for various missteps, of course). She enjoys English tea, and likes her booze, being quite an avid fan of whisky. On no accounts should you ever make the mistake of insinuating that she has a flat chest.
  • Background: Born into the prestigious Tohno family, Akiha lived a sheltered childhood under the strict supervision of her father, until the young Shiki Nanaya was adopted into the family and became her new older brother. Together she, Shiki, her older brother by blood who was also named Shiki and a lively redheaded girl spent their childhood playing together happily, until one fateful day when the part-demon blood of her older brother suddenly boiled to the surface and he inflicted a mortal wound on their adopted brother, which would have killed the young Shiki were it not for Akiha giving him some of her own lifeforce. This act unfortunately led to Akiha's own demonic blood beginning to surface, and this coupled with the fact that her older brother was now an insane cannibalistic monster led to her becoming the future head of the family and having her studies intensified by her cruel father, who had also sent Shiki away to live with a branch family of the Tohnos. Upon the death of her father eight years later, she became the head of the Tohno household and, ignoring protests from the remaining relatives, called Shiki back to live at the family mansion with her. Due to the events of Tsukihime (which, if more detail was went into, this sign-up would be far too long), she eventually learned to control her demonic blood and the powers that came with it at will, although she still lives in fear of ever inverting like her brother did and becoming a monster. Currently, whilst not attending a prestigious girl's school she lives in the Tohno Mansion alongside her beloved adopted brother Shiki, his familiar Len, and her twin maids, Kohaku and Hisui (one of whom was the lively young girl she and Shiki used to play with as children).
  • Appearance: Little sister herself.
  • Powers: Due to her part-demon blood, Akiha possesses an ability known as The Caging Hair (檻髪, Origami), a field that is effective in the range of her field of vision that "plunders" the "heat" (lifeforce) from a living creature that she can see. Once she has confirmed a target, people with some form of spiritual perception will see the ability as red strands of hair wrapping the target and charring it down; however it does not actually burn the target, as it doesn't affect the target's clothes and stops burning as soon as Akiha stops plundering lifeforce from the target. At its maximum strength, the red strands cover the target as well as the entire area the target is in, making it impossible to escape; hence the name, Caging Hair. The hairs extend and wrap everything in crimson, but normal eyes can neither see nor touch it. Akiha's power reflects in the extension of these hairs, but Akiha herself cannot see them, as she has no special mystic eye. It is an absolute offensive ability against a normal person who doesn't have any spiritual defense, but it won't be any more of a hindrance than a large spider web to someone with a spiritual status on a whole different league. Although, with support, she could use it as shackles to restrain beings of that level.*
  • Other:

(Whee first sign-up~)

Seems good! Accepted! Also, your post reminded me of something I should ask for in personality, something you so kindly told me: 'What do they drink?' Though, now that I think of it, it might be good to include: 'Reasons they drink.' as well...

*checking out because I said I would*

I don't think I'll have the free time to join right away due to exams, but I like the concept. Once I'm done with those, I'll see about looking for a character to join with.

That is all she needed. That is all... Her dreams of seeing the world have become her strength, and lifts her wings.

Sign-ups for Crossroads are always open, except, perhaps, once we reach end-game, but that won't be for awhile...
