Si Vis Votum - Alternate Universe Crossover RP

Understood! (salutes) I'll get to work on char gen then.

Oh, and, to avoid confusion: I'm not the GM. I'm just a guy with a little experience hereabouts.

• Name: Nana
• Age: 15 (physically, 8 chronological: 7 years doubled ageing, 1 year normal)
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: [1]◊
• Personality: Helpful, friendly, and kind. Nana's personality is very innocent and caring, and she also has an endearingly immature knowledge of the world. She is also very strong willed, she has withstood trauma and horrors that HAVE made others snap but has lost neither her resolve to be good or her positive views of the world. She can and will fight to protect others, but unlike all other Diclonious she seems to lack the killing drive to actually slay her opponents.
• Powers and Abilities:
• Vectors x6 (5 meter range) telekinetic "extra limbs" that can be used to for a variety of actions, both offensive and defensive. They can be used to deflect all but the densest of bullets, throw objects, pick up items, disable other vectors, dismember opponents, or for direct "punches"
• Sense other diclonious
• Artificial Limbs: both her arms are realistic, flexible plastic prosthetic limbs. She can use two vectors to operate these fake limbs so they move just like a real limb. In combination with vectors, the limbs can be thrown to produce a "rocket punch" like effect.
• Backstory: Her universe is a close mirror to the anime except for a few changes to the time line. First, Kouta's sister is still alive because little Yuka was a tomboy. Kouta honestly thought she was a boy at the time, despite what everyone else kept telling him. So he did not lie to Lucy. Kouta's sister, Kanae, thought this was funny and explained it to Lucy...Kanae also told Lucy the her horns were cute like cat ears, leaving Lucy very confused as to whether she should kill them because Kouta was lying and didn't know it or if she shouldn't kill them. Kouta's father was killed and his sister lost her left hand not due to Lucy but due to the assault team that was supposed to capture Lucy attacking the train with a bomb. This caused a few psychological changes in Kouta (LESS mentally crippled and responds quicker) and Lucy (slightly less brutal and killing less bystanders, easier for Kouta to calm). Kanae's survival also had some positive effects on the rest of the cast too. For Nana, the biggest change is in her first fight with Lucy. Kouta stops Lucy from dismembering Nana's legs, though she still lost both arms.

If this is no good, I have a few other ideas, please let me know.

I'm putting in a second character:

• Name: Flutterrush
• Age: Early - mid 20's
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Take this◊, then give her Tsurime eyes instead of Tareme ones; make her tail shorter and more messy, style her mane into a spike-like mohawk with the only lock hanging loose being one that covers one eye; a studded collar around her neck; various scars along her body; and replace the cutie mark with a stylized head of a wolf, colored in jet black with blood red fangs and over blue lightening bolt.
• Personality: A rough and tumble type, a girl who takes crap from no one and not afraid to be blunt and in your face. Always the first one to charge into danger and always ready for a good brawl if need be. Due to her being literally raised by wolves for most of her years, the pegasus can easily comes off as rather abrasive to others and oftentimes will belittle others if they come off as weak to her. However, proving your worth to her will grant you her respect, and doing something to actually gain her trust and she will become of strong and loyal friend who is willing to break down the gates of Tartarus and curbstomp every monster in her way to save you. Again, due to her being raised by wolves, she has a very deep fondness for nature and for animals, bonding with critter much better than civilized creatures. The only times one can see girly is when talking about her idols, the Rough Riders, and her own dream of being the first pegasus in their group.

• Powers/Weapons:
  • Normal Pony Attributes: Like all magical ponies, she has her collective race's immense strength and physical resilience, and like any other pegasus is capable of both flight and the ability to manipulate clouds and weathers. However, due to her not finishing flight school Flutterrush is only capable of basic flight and cannot control weather so well. However.......
  • Super Strength: Years of living in the Everfree Forest have toughened her up, making her much stronger physically than most pegasi and even several Earth ponies. This strength is also applied into her wings, allowing her to fly much faster than most pegasi as well.
  • Leadership Abilities: Being the Alpha of her adoptive pack, Flutterrush can be charismatic if need be and can take charge whenever a situation calls for it. Unfortunately this only applies to pack mentality and small groups, so she often falters in situations that require deeper strategy and organization.
  • Medical Expertise: Gained the ability to heal others through the uses of using various means of treating both her own injuries and those of her pack, as well as gaining knowledge of various medicinal plants while in the wild. She further gained modern medical knowledge when she began to treat animals as a profession.
  • Fighting Abilities: Of her friends, Flutterrush has the most experience in fighting, her fighting style defined as DIRTY. Expect the one on the receiving end to be in a VERY bad state when facing her unless they can overpower her.
  • Animal Communication: Due to her years of living in a wolf pack, she gained the ability to talk to animals and has an empathic connection to them.
  • Element of Loyalty: A jewel of immense power vaguely in the shape of Flutterrush's cutie mark and worn as a necklace, it is one of the Elements of Harmony and has the ability to dispel and even outright kill beings of pure evil and negative emotion. However, its own power pales in comparison to the power it has when combined with the other Elements.

• Backstory: Flutterrush was actually a very shy and introverted little filly years ago. That changed during her tenure in flight camp where she had to practice diving off the board to gain flight speed. She messed up badly resulting in all the other kids laughing at her.........but then something within her snapped, and she ended up brutally attacking on of her bullies. Since then she became tough as nails and constantly angry, getting into fights and openly defying authority. It came to a head one night when her former bullies tricked her into coming outside after lights out and then shoved her off the clouds supporting the camp, making her fall straight for the ground.....specifically the dreaded Everfree Forest, the one area in all of Equestria where nature runs it course WITHOUT the help of ponies! Luckily for her, she went into a clearing and her fall was broken by something large and furry.......

Specifically, a warg, leading a pack of smaller regular wolves......

Though Flutterrush was scared at first, she immediately put up her angry facade against the pack. However, the alpha of the pack, instead of being angered by the defiance, instead was amused. He immediately adopted the little pegasus on the spot. Since then, Flutterrush proved herself a valuable member of packs, hunting, playing, and protecting them throughout the rest of her life. So respected and loved by her pack, none of them even minded that she was a herbivore instead of a carnivore, and in turn, the pony found herself having a loving family worth fighting for. Once she reached adulthood, Flutterrush decided to settle in a village directly bordering the Everfree Forest called Ponyville where she not only runs a veternarian service for animals living around the general area and owned by ponies, but also a security service with her own pack as employees, which including regular wolves, timberwolves, and even a few wargs.

I think that, now that my current computer issues have been handled, I'd also like to take a moment and propose a second character. I've been considering someone/thing robotic, and I've recently beat the main quest of my "Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition", so a Claptrap seems appropriate. If something's wrong, as always, I'll be sure to take it in stride and make any tweaks required.

• Name: Vault Hunter Claptrap P. Claptrappington (originally just a CL4P-TP General Purpose Robot)

• Age: Manufactured less than five years ago

• Gender: Prefers to be referred to with male pronouns rather than 'it'

• Appearance: Unce! Unce! Ooh, check me OHMYGAWDASKAGAHHH!!!!

• Personality: Claptrap has as wide a range of emotions as any human...well, any regular, non-psycopathic human. Although he's forced to always sound upbeat and cheery due to his voice chip, he's extremely scared more often than not. Despite this fear, he's always ready to lend a hand to protect his minions...I mean, bestest friends. Claptrap's other interests include hunting for treasure, classical theatre, and dancing to dubstep.

• Powers and Abilities: Claptrap can handle a wide variety of Pandora's projectile weaponry, from corrosive rocket launchers to lightning-shooting pistols. However, each gun also has its setbacks (major recoil on the launcher, for example), and it's unwise to become reliant on just one nice gun. Having upgraded himself with Backpack SD Us from his 'brothers', he can pull out a few of Pandora's stranger weapons on the fly despite his small frame, though his inventory is not infinite. His eye has a built-in scanner that, due to the wide variety of corporations that colonized Pandora, can interface with practically any form of technology. When it comes to defenses...well, using Claptraps as target practice is a hobby among the Pandoran bandits, and their broken-down bodies are a common sight. On the bright side, even this upgraded Claptrap's basic circuitry isn't all that advanced, and even a novice could repair one with the right tools. Thanks to Hyperion, he is also capable of becoming a massive interplanetary death machine...but Claptrap has no clue how to activate it, and that's probably for the best.

• Backstory: Originally, Claptrappington was just an ordinary CL4P-TP, content to merely greet new arrivals in the Pandoran town of Fyrestone. However, after a team of four Vault Hunters wrecked havoc across the planet, the Hyperion Corporation decided to reprogram the little fellow and make him assassinate the quartet. In the original Borderlands universe, this procedure was originally successful, but Claptrap turned against all humans after watching the abuse all his siblings had to take. He then forcibly robotized many of Pandoran's crazy inhabitants, including four men the Vault Hunters had killed, and tried (and failed) to start a robo-revolution. V.H. Claptrap, on the other hand, was able to remember the kindness that the Vault Hunters had shown him and his siblings, and resisted his new programming. After successfully escaping from Hyperion's clutches and with a lot more power on his hands than before, Claptrap decided to repay the Vault Hunters' kindness by joining their ranks.

Nana is accepted.

Fluterrush... well... here's the thing. Endark made a sheet for a pony character when the RP began, and I rejected it. Doesn't seem really fair to accept yours, and I do have some complaints with it. Listen, do you have any other ideas for your second character?

As for Claptrap, I'll accept him with some changes. Mainly the whole "he can access a pocket dimension and pull out any of Pandora's strange weapons on the fly" thing. And it would be nice if he could get hurt a little bit by some kind of projectile weapon?

@Strat: Endark's pony character is the pony version of a character from a different series all together. Flutterrush is a different version of a character that has already been established on Friendship Is Magic. I think she's acceptable.

Still, it was rejected mostly due to the pony factor...

The only ones that disagreed openly were Raineh Daze, Moerin,and Anno, and all three were permabanned for starting arguments and using those as a spring board to gang up on others. I don't think anyone would object now that they're gone.

Hm. I suppose so. Then it's OK. All I ask you to change is remove Angel (the point is that the characters are removed from their homes and put in an unfamiliar setting, and I think not being with her loyal pet would actually be more interesting. Plus, she already has a lot of powers) and somehow nerf the Element of Loyalty with its whole "only appear during times of need" thing. I mean, don't want you to pull it out, out of nowhere, in a boss fight.

Okay, I've edited Claptrap's profile. Made sure that his inventory isn't horribly broken (I know you can carry up to 46 weapons in Borderlands if you equip four and have all the inventory upgrades...wow; when I actually type that out, it sounds really absurd), and it should be public knowledge that Claptraps aren't exactly built like tanks. If anything else should be altered, I'm all ears.

Oh, and as for the whole 'pony' thing, I'm perfectly fine if someone wants to be one. And hey, if I wasn't given the opportunity to rework my original plans, we wouldn't have the Chibizama that we all know and...tolerate.

@Strat: Changed them.

And both are accepted.

...gods I would find this fun but so many R Ps! G Ah!

I'll make a second character too, now. I've lost inspiration for Zuko (and I'm honestly not good enough to write him as he should be), so hopefully having another character to switch between will bring it back. But I'm having trouble thinking of one...could anyone give me some ideas?

Have you seen Itsuka Tenma No Kuro Usagi's animé adaptation?

edited 21st Oct '12 1:24:26 PM by desdendelle

Well, Seren, what are you interested in? I wouldn't know, seeing as you don't have a Troper page, and the only non-Avatar avatar in your avatar gallery (my, that was a tongue twister...) that I recognized is Edward Elric...

And the player that signed up as an alternate Ed is gone, so he's still available.

I've never seen it (though it sounds interesting), and I'll list some things I'm interested in below. I love Ed, but I don't like many A Us of him, and I'm always so nervous about writing him. I'll try to find some I like in the meantime.

Okay, so...D. Gray Man, One Piece, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Ghost Trick, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Portal 2, Avengers, Pokemon, Young Justice, Teen Titans...there's a lot more, but these are my main interests at the moment.

edited 21st Oct '12 5:05:53 PM by Serendipital

Oh, Young Justice has some nice A Us. Perhaps you should look after fanfics, most of them have nice AU ideas.

Bumping this so more people can spot it and join us.

I plan on joining, but I don't think I'll be able to get my signup done until at least tomorrow.

One question, though: Would a female version of Sol Badguy be acceptable?

I'd imagine so. There are characters from fighting games (my Chibi!Hazama, for example), and characters that have been genderbent, so a genderbent Sol shouldn't be a problem.

Nana has someone's approval! That should make her happy. And yeah, Young justice has a LOT of A Us.

Sooo? How do characters drop into play?

edited 22nd Oct '12 8:32:56 AM by OriginalPL2

Wait until this mission ends, then I'll introduce the new chars.

...Maybe Kid Flash from the Fedora!verse?
