Si Vis Votum - Alternate Universe Crossover RP

Sure. Keep an eye out on the discussion thread too.

Where is the discussion thread? I still haven't been able to find it.

Bam.

I'll try to send at least one character sheet today, but first I want to know if anyone minds spoilers from Card Captor Sakura and Castlevania (mainly Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow), because I'm not sure what to hide, so I'll simply let it unmarked.

I don't mind it.

Ignore this. I spoke with @Stratofarius and he let me trey to sign up with another character. I don't think I can roleplay well with this one, sadly... I'll leave this sheet here, though.

• Name: Sakura Kinomoto
• Age: 24
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: So far, I managed to get this pic drawn by Scarab. Her clothes can vary a lot, though.
• Personality:
• Power and Abilities:
  • Dark Magic: Sakura gains her magic power from three sources: the Sun and the Moon. Her "celestial" dark magic grants her much more power than normal dark magic, but she isn't very trained into spellcasting. She is able to use a great range of magic types, from pyrokinesis to telekinesis, with varying degrees of ability (she can use pyrokinesis much better than telekinesis for example, as she is only able to lift very small objects, as cellphones and books). Her staff channels that energy for her, and thus she is better at casting with her staff than without (for example, with her staff she would be able to lift medium sized objects using her telekinesis).
  • Vampiric Powers: Being the reincarnation of Dracula, Sakura also has powerful vampiric powers. She can absorb other's life power by biting them. She has nocturnal vision and better olfactory and auditory perceptions, asides from being able to sense souls, or rather, anything she may feed on. She also has above average agility and strenght.
  • Sakura Cards: Magical cards which draw from the dark power of Sakura and from a soul at the same time. She is able to summon them at will and they can float around. The cards doesn't need to be physically present, thought if so their powers are slightly stronger and she is able to lend them to others. She is also able to summon the beings whose soul is within the card, but they retain their independence, and the card doesn't work as long as the demon is freed. The soul of the demon within the card can communicate with the current holder of it (the card) through telepathy. If a demon is killed before its soul return to the card, the power of the card will be weakened until the soul is replaced or, least probably, regenerate. Currently she has:
    • The Sword: By using this card, Sakura is able to turn her staff in a magical sword. Sakura can imbue the sword with her own magic, being effective angainst magic. The card grants swordmanship, but Sakura already knows how to properly hand a sword herself.
    • The Arrow: When activated this card turns Sakura's staff into a bow. The card grants marksmanship to the user, but Sakura is already mildly able to use a bow and arrow on her own. The arrows work as any othr magic projectile, except arrow shaped and made with Sakura's dark magic.
    • The Swim: This card's power are drawn from Rahab, and it improves the time that Sakura can spend underwater greatly, asides from giving her high mobility.
    • The Fly: This card's powers are drawn from... Some humanoid bat-like creature◊. When used Sakura grows huge bat-like wings from her back, which let her fly.
    • The Lock: The Lock card grants Sakura the ability of magically locking anything (doors, padlocks, etc.), preventing them from being unlocked by conventional means. Sakura mostly uses the Lock together when she uses her sealing magic, in other to aid the banishment of demons and creatures alike.
    • Soul Cards: Empty cards which Sakura can use to store the souls of the dead, and thus allowing her to use a new ability. May or may not be dormant cards, waiting for a suitable soul or suitable time.
  • Sealing Wand (Staff): Not a power by itself, but it's her main "weapon". She usually uses it as means of using The Sword, though she can use it to power up her magic. It can be taken away, but Sakura can use telekinesis to bring it back when she's close to it, asides from being able to sense it due to it canalizes dark magic, or better, her dark magic. It looks like the bottomost pic on the page, but with bat wings instead of angel wings, silver instead of gold and an upside-down star instead of the normal one.
  • Sealing Magic: She is able to seal and banish demons and other creatures away, permanently or temporarily. It shows up with Instant Runes and a Magical Incantation of sorts. She also uses her staff to channel the sealing magic, so without it she has lots of trouble. Also used together with the Lock, to increase the sealing power. The staff is around one meter in lenght. When it is not being used it looks like a key◊, which Sakura hangs it on a chain around her neck, keeping it in hand all the times just in case she needs to use it. Normally, its key form is the only way to unlock something locked by The Lock.
• Backstory: She is the reincarnation of Clow Reed. And he was also Dracula.

EDIT: I found this again and decided to fix the image link.

Uh, right... Hopefully you're still taking entries, and hopefully this actually works, so... Kamen Rider OOO as a Magical Girl!

• Name: Eiko Hino/Bishoujo Rider OOO*
  pronounced "Ohs"
• Age: 16 (blame the chibi-esque artstyle if the appearance picture makes her look a lot younger >.<)
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: You count the medals one, two and three...
• Personality: Despite often coming off as happy-go-lucky, Eiko is actually quite strong-willed and more intelligent than she first comes off as. She will fight to protect anyone in need, even complete strangers and even at risk to her own life. Eiko has an optimistic outlook on life, believing that as long as you have a clean pair of underwear for tomorrow everything will turn out alright. She possesses no selfish desires, and would be a complete void of desire were it not for her wish to have the power to protect people no matter where they are.
• Powers and Abilities:
  • OOO Driver: Eiko possesses the magical OOO Driver which, when used in conjunction with the Core Medals, allows her to transform into the magical girl Bishoujo Rider OOO*
    she does so by inserting three medals into the belt-mounted driver, scanning them and yelling out their names. In the case of a full set Combo, she will also sing out the combo's name
    . Each Core Medal represents a different animal, and gives her a different power depending on what they represent, and since she has to use them in three medal combinations in order to transform she has many different potential powerset combinations. There are six sets of three Core Medals, one each for head, arms and legs, each representing a different animal "family" (Insects, Birds, Felines, Heavy Animals, Aquatic Animals and Dinosaurs). Of course, she does not have all of these Medals and thus does not have access to every potential combination*
    the medals she has currently are Taka, Kujaku, Lion, Tora, Cheetah, Kamakiri, Batta, Sai, Gorilla, Zou, Unagi, Ptera, Tricera and Tyranno. However, the last three are special and cannot be used in conjunction with any other medals than each other
    . Full set Combos, despite their greater power than random combinations, take a great toll on her body and thus it is not a good idea for her to overuse them.
    • Taka! Tora! Batta! Ta-To-Ba! TaToBa TaToBa!: Eiko's default transformation, as pictured in her appearance. Whilst it gains no specific special abilities due to not being a Combo, TaToBa is still a reliable form and the one she is most likely to open a fight with.
    • Lion! Tora! Cheetah! LaTo-LaTo, LaToraTah!: The Combo formed from the three Feline Core Medals, also known as the Scorching Combo. Despite the great speed this form has, Eiko's defences take a noticable drop.
    • Sai! Gorilla! Zou! SaGohZo... SAGOHZO!: The Gravity Combo, formed from the three Heavy Animal Core Medals. Despite its great physical strength and gravity powers, this Combo is by far the slowest and has the lowest jumping height.
    • Ptera! Tricera! Tyranno! PuToTyrannosaurus!: The Invincible Combo*
      which unfortunately that artist never drew a Rider-tan of; try to imagine this done in a similar style
      formed from the three Dinosaur Core Medals. Whilst its power greatly outstrips Eiko's other Combos, she becomes a feral beast whilst using it, unable to tell friend from foe. She never volountarily uses this Combo, as the Core Medals for it are stored inside her own body and only emerge when her life is in great danger. Due to the berserk nature of the PuToTyra Combo and its power, it shall only ever be used with GM permission.
  • Medajalibur: A sword gifted to Eiko by her fairy godmother, Kougami. It serves as her main weapon.
  • Ride Vendor: A motorcycle cleverly disguised as a vending machine. For some reason one of these was brought along with Eiko. Whilst in vending machine form, it is able to dispense Taka Candroids, small robot hawks that can be used for surveillance and recon.
• Backstory: The world-travelling daughter of a politician who, whilst in Africa, attempted to use her fortune to help out a village. Unfortunately, the money was instead used to fund a civil war, which led to her being completely helpless to save a young girl she had befriended. Even worse, her father used her story to garner support for his political career, leading to Eiko losing all desire and wishing only to help those in front of her, going so far as to risk her own life even for complete stranger. After returning to Japan to raise funds so she could travel more, she encountered a mysterious floating hand named Ankh who claimed to be a monster known as a Greeed. In order to fight the other Greeed and their monsters formed from human desire, the Yummies, Ankh gave Eiko the OOO Driver, which allowed her to use the power of the Greeed's Core Medals to transform into Bishoujo Rider OOO and gave her the power to help people that she had wished for. With the grudging aid of Ankh and the technical assistance of the cake obsessed fairy godmother Kougami, Eiko operated as a magical girl in order to help as many people as possible. Recently, however, her void of desire has led to the unfortunate consequence of the purple Core Medals choosing her body as a host. Whilst the power gained from them is more than enough to satisfy her wish to help others, using them is slowly turning her into a monstrous Greeed herself, something that she obviously does not want to happen.

Victin, since it's not complete, I won't judge your sheet right now. But can you tell me what is the difference between the canon Sakura and this Sakura? I don't know all that much about Card Captors, really.

Don't need to be a Kamen Rider fan to see the difference on your character, Moe. A-ccepted. She seems like the very interesting result of Madoka, Kamen Rider and... something on a blender. Yes, my knowledge of Japanese media is limited, beat it.

Well, first she's a crossover between Card Captor Sakura and Castlevania, so the main differences are the Darker and Edgier background, together with her powers being different. She is also older and her appearance differs, as she does personality wise. Though I was going to use a personality similar to the original one, but grown-up and Darker, because I can work with the other personality I have in mind.

(Yes, this is an incredibly short and summarized explanation, but I think that pointing every single detail would be too much. Again, if you want me to do so, I'm fine with it.)

Seems fine with me. Shoot me a PM when your sheet is ready.

You guys still accepting?

Yep, but you'll have to wait until this arc ends to join in.

Okay

Not sure what to do, I have considered something styled after The Wild West, either Yasutora Sado redone as a 19th Century Mexican Bandito or a character redone as an Old West Gunslinger (most likely either Chun-Li or Chris Redfield).

Hey dudes, is it all cool if I jump back into this thang? I mean, I wasn't even here for very long, but still. Hope this isn't too OP. Though it's the quality that I'm more concerned about, since I had a bit of trouble making this AU work.

• Name: Zeke Jedediah Dunbar, the Electric Man
• Age: Somewhere around his late twenties. At this point, even he has a problem keeping track.
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Why who's this handsome fella?◊ The outfit's definitely gaudier than that, though, pure white with a couple stylized E's on the shoulders. He's slimmed down a little, too.
• Personality: Now Zeke, Zeke's not a bad guy. At the very least he's a simple guy. Just wants to lie back, have a couple beers with his friend, zone out in front of the tube. Guy can't really ask for much more. He's friendly, easygoing, the kinda guy you can't help but get along with. He can be a real selfish bastard sometimes, though. Zeke's self-centred at heart, and he tends to put his own interests before those of his friends. Since taking on the identity of the Electric Man, he's also become prone to the occasional fit of grandstanding and showoffishness. Gotta put on a show for the crowds, after all. He's got a paranoid streak a mile long, too, always putting together outrageous theories, never willing to trust The Man with anything. When it comes down to it, though, Zeke is always willing to do the right thing and help people out, even if it means putting his neck on the line. That's what friends're for, right?
• Powers and Abilities: Zeke is a human battery, capable of storing and projecting massive amounts of electrical energy. He's more electric than man now, and he can soak up more punishment and dish it out in equal measure because of it. Dude can fall from ten stories high without a scratch and send someone flying across the room with a punch. He'll still keel over if you pump enough bullets into him, though. Still, Zeke prefers to stay on the ranged end of things, blasting away at his foes with bolts of lightning, waves of electromagnetic force, and 'explosives' of compressed electrical energy. He can glide through the air on a cushion of magnetic force, grand on power lines or electric rails, and throw up shields of magnetic energy. He's also damn good with his hands, and if you give him enough time and materials Zeke can rig up just about anything. Of course, that doesn't matter for jack when all your equipment fries the second you touch it. See, Zeke and electronics don't go well together. Guns will explode in his hands the second he picks them up, and he can step inside a car without breaking the damn thing down. Water's a pretty big concern too. He gets in too deep for too long, Zeke'll 'short out' and die, and he can't even take a shower without tripping the breakers. He can't make any energy of his own, either. He's gotta drain it from somewhere else, a junction box or a generator or something. And it takes a lot of juice to fuel his powers, so even a generator's only good enough for one go. He can drain out of people too, but they don't survive to tell the tale. Zeke doesn't like doing it. Feels wrong, even when he does it to bad guys.
• Backstory: Wasn't always like this, y'know. Used to be Zeke was just a regular dude, livin' it up on the mean streets of Empire city with his buddy Cole. Now, Cole was a bike messenger, though he took to scrambling around on buildings just as well. And one day, he gets this package he's supposed to deliver all the way across town. Hell of a job, and Cole's already had a pretty long do so he's really not feelin' up to it. So Zeke, feeling generous, decides to deliver it for him. And Cole, ever grateful takes him up on it. Now here's where the story starts to really pick up. Halfway through the delivery, the damn thing explodes. We're talkin' city blocks leveled, thousands dead, and Zeke standin' in the middle of all of it. He survived the blast, but it changed him. Gave him powers like you wouldn't believe. Didn't have much chance to use em at first, stuck in the hospital. And all the while, the city was goin' straight to hell in a handbasket. Riots in the streets, gangs rising to power, a whole citywide quarantine. He gets outta the hospital a little after, slummin' it up on Cole's roof. It's not a comfy life and the government food drops are few and far between, but they still make it. Or they did, until some son of a bitch TV jacker calling himself the "Voice of Survival" releases photos connecting Zeke to the blast. Folks get up in arms pretty quickly, and by then he knows it's time to get the hell outta town. The escape doesn't go over so well, but he finds another way out. An FBI agent name'a Moya takes him in, tells him all about how that package was somethin' called a Ray Sphere, a gizmo cooked up by this gang of kooks callin' themselves the First Sons. Was supposed to soak up all the neuroelectric energy in an area and pack it into one guy, and it just so happened that Zeke was that guy. So Moya makes him an offer. The Ray Sphere is still in the city somewhere, along with her husband John who was supposed to be keepin' an eye on the First Sons. Find the Ray Sphere, find John, and she'd give him a way out of the city. Now Zeke, paranoid sumbitch that he is, turns her down. Right in front of her face, he just turns her down and walks away. Still, he'll find that Ray Sphere. He'll find it and he'll destroy it. Who knows what the government wants to do with that thing. And hey, maybe he can make some cashola off this superhero thing while he's at it.

Alright, as long as, you know, you don't leave after two posts.

Anyway, I think Zeke's powers are okay, as long as you don't do the drain energy out of people thing and don't make him so damn resistant to anything but bullets. Most of the characters don't use bullets (I can point, like, one or two that actually do) and that'll help a lot.

Also, what is the difference between this Zeke and canon Zeke?

Strat, the list in the first post needs updating. Also, whatever happened to Subaru after I was forced to (temporarily) drop out?

She's on the ship, mourning.

Don't worry about it, he can only drain energy from people when they're completely helpless and he definitely won't be doing it to anyone but the occasional mook, if he does it at all. And I was just using gunfire as sort of a common example. The stuff that's being thrown around here'll hurt him too.

In canon, Zeke's just a regular dude who's super jealous of his best friend's rad superpowers.

Alright then, accepted.

Alright, cool. Thanks man.

So can new players join again? Also, can I use a character from another forum RP?

Yes and yes.

Cool! Ok, I'll be playing as Nathan Reid:

His original sign-up is here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13302905920A99572600&page=4

This version of Nathan has one difference. After spending all that time relatively alone in a Bunker, Nathan psyche cracked a bit. He's very trigger happy, and doesn't care for morality or loyalty, instead siding with however can get him a better deal.

-grits teeth- Yyyyeeeaaaah. I don't exactly think that character is going to work with everyone else. Sorry, but no.

Dear everyone who is watching this thread, has had their character accepted recently, and are waiting for the proper opportunity to start posting in the RP:

The moment you have been waiting for has arrived. All new characters please report to the deck of the Votum in a safe and orderly fashion. Thank you for waiting patiently, and have a nice day.

Sincerely, Endark
