Si Vis Votum - Alternate Universe Crossover RP

This is a crazy-stupid idea, and yet I feel compelled to submit it anyway.

• Name: Baron Heinrich Von Helsingard
• Age: Difficult to estimate, though he's probably around 160 or so.
• Gender: Male, though he lacks a physical sex.
• Appearance: Like this◊, but slimmer, with orange eyelights, and a transparent forehead that displays his transplanted brain.
• Personality: Heinrich is a good man, at least that's what his constituents would tell you. And it's true enough, as the baron has proven time and time again to be a kind and generous man, always willing to stick his neck out for his fellow man if it means that the little guy doesn't have to do it for him. While he's not entirely without a sense of humor, he tends to take himself very seriously and most sarcastic comments or subtle jokes seem to fly over his head. He has something of an ego too, frequently overestimating his own capabilities and underestimating those of his foes. He also has a tendency to set his sights just a touch too high, though when and if he fails he's ever-ready to give it another go.
• Powers and Abilities: Due to the nature of his current body, Heinrich is possessed of superhuman strength and durability, able to wield cars as bludgeons and shrug off most small-arms fire with only a few minor dents and injuries.*
  Still hurts, though.
  As a full-conversion cyborg, the baron is also immune to things that would kill a regular human being, such as poisons or lack of breathable air. This, combined with his considerable scientific genius, makes the baron a formidable opponent indeed. Additionally, if his current robotic vessel were to be destroyed, his brain can be salvaged and implanted in a new shell by an ally, if they find his brain at all.
• Backstory: Born to the tremendously wealthy Helsingard family of Austria during the mid-eighteenhundreds, the young Heinrich was lauded as a scientific prodigy, always impressing both his parents and visiting friends with the fabulous novelties he would construct in his spare time. As he grew older and wiser, he turned his intelligence and wealthy towards more humanitarian pursuits. He saw that, while his family was content to sit atop their ivory tower, tittering to themselves and drinking 'till they dropped, the people below suffered and strained for a day's pay. Heinrich would have none of that, no sir.

As his parents passed away, he put more and more of his money and resources towards developing new medical procedures, astounding scientific advances, and tools that would make the lives of both the working class and the rich easier. The money earned from these inventions, combined the extensive web of favours that Heinrich had cultivated over the years, served to make the scientist one of the most powerful men in Europe. Though all god things had their downsides, as he frequently ran afoul of the so-called "Science heroes" who used the art of innovation and invention for their own personal gain. He bested them time and time again, but their presence was always a constant.

In 1938, as Heinrich was well into his 80's, he began to feel the shadow of death drawing ever closer. He wouldn't have it. The world still needed him, needed his mind. And if he didn't have to die, then why should anyone else? Using the burgeoning Nazi movement as a front for his experiments, the ageing baron soon delved into researching a way to cure death itself. But how? He had researched every occult finding, every bit of obscure fringe science, but still he found nothing conclusive.

The answer to this problem came in the form of the Vril organ, a mysterious secondary organ that had once been possessed by an ancient and advanced offshoot of humanity. If his sources were to be believed, transplanting the organ into a human body would grant them everlasting life, and the power to shift the fabric of reality with a mere thought. Not only would remove death, but he would elevate the human race to a state of newfound godhood. Or so he hoped. Setting up a base and laboratory in the deep antartic, where the last remaining city of this wonderous civilization was located, Helsingard and his team of scientists set to work.

As the cloning of the Vril organ neared its completion, the United States government grew fearful of Helsingard's progress. What if this new discovery were used against them? They couldn't just have some man-made god stomping around the place. So, they sent an agent to undo the baron's work, a mechanical brute known as Atomic Robo. Robo tore through the walls of Helsingard's mountain base as if they were tissue paper, though the American robot failed to stop the first successful Vril transplant, made upon Helsingard himself. The baron rose anew, his frail body made youthful once more, with new, untold power coursing through his veins. This didn't last long, however, as Robo quickly killed Heinrich with but a single blast of his lightning cannon, piercing the Vril and destroying the base in a fiery explosion.

This was not the end of Heinrich von Helsingard, however. As his last act, the baron activated a contingency plan that he had set in place should his experimentation with the Vril prove unseuccessful. Helsingard's brain, or what was left of it, was placed into a robotic body by his few remaining supporters, and the Austrian scientist lived once more. To this day, Helsingard battles the sinister Atomic Robo and Tesladyne, the shell corporation from which Robo conducts his perversions of science.

-Spider Lizard Noises-

I've considered doing gender-swapped versions of either Tommy Vercetti (Grand Theft Auto: Vice City) or Grigor Stoyanovich (Empire Earth). Problem is, I can't find pictures of them gender-swapped.

Anyone take drawing requests?

Falkon, Link is fine. Ragna, Shirley's fine too.

Chabal, I have several complaints about your character. One: the personality field needs to be changed, you can't just give me three tropes and expect me to know all about a character's personality. Also, you said he wasn't a "KILLEVERYONE" person- well, at least your "alternate version" of him wasn't- and I just don't see that in your profile. Also, powers. I'll just say that. Powers.

Bindle, the Baron is fine, but I'll ask you to lower his durability.

Darkomega, your sheet was just... confusing. Grammar and formatting errors complemented a confusing backstory and a character that doesn't seem that different from the original JC. Sorry, denied.

Paulie, pictures are not obligatory.

• Name: Prince Sokka
• Age: 15
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Here pictured with his sister, someone he doesn't really like to be seen with.◊
• Personality: Literally scarred by his past, Prince Sokka is the complete opposite of the original Sokka. He's extremely focused and anxious, to the point of becoming obsessed with his objective. Even with the knowledge he obtained in his travels, he can also be a bit naive. To everyone that is not part of his crew, he looks like an unfriendly, sexist and humorless person that will do anything to complete his objective- in other words, a complete jerk. But he actually has a caring side, especially for his ship's crew and his grandmother. A side note: he loves meat.
• Powers and Abilities:
  • Waterbending: Though he is not as good as his sister, he can be considered a prodigy, having been trained by his grandmother during his travels. However, he can sometimes overlook the basics, thanks to his anxious personality.
• Backstory:
  • Prince Sokka comes from a different timeline, where instead of the Fire Nation attacking the world and starting the Hundred Year War, it was the Water Tribes. Son of Water Emperor Hakoda, Sokka always had to listen to constant belittlement coming from his sister, Princess Katara, who was considered a waterbending prodigy from the start.
  • It was only during his coming of age ritual that Sokka's life took a turn for the worse. During the ice-dodging ritual, that consisted of the young male waterbender manning a small vessel and using his own knowledge and the use of waterbending to dodge multiple icebergs. Unfurtonately, due to, according to Sokka, his "foolish behavior", he failed the ritual, crashing into the iceberg and earning the rage of his own father, who challenged him to a Sedna Kai, a waterbending duel.
  • Sokka, however, wanted to prove his father wrong, and tried to fight against the mighty Water Emperor. However, the boy was no match, and all he heard was his father saying how "he would learn respect, and suffering would be his teacher" as he sliced his face, giving him a scar in his left eye, rendering it useless. Scarred, humiliated and ashamed of himself, Sokka left the Southern Water Tribe in his own self-imposed exile, entering a search for the Avatar, so he could restore his honor in the eyes of his own people.

I'll give this a try once I come up with a character idea. It's pretty interesting.

Alrighty, then. Done and done.

Would you mind adding a list of accepted characters to the OP, by the way?

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Added.

So, I doubt this is acceptable, but... I just can't help myself!

• Name: Link "Demon-Slayer" McBadass
• Age: 36
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: So badass, he's immune to lung cancer!
• Personality: A Large Ham, Link is a tobacco smoking, sumo wrestling, Dodongo hunting, loud talking, big time boasting MANLY MAN! In some ways, this Link could be considered the opposite of your average Hylian hero, but he's still got the courage, and he's got the power too!
• Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Strength, Durability, and Stamina. Link wields the MAXIMUM MASTERY BLADE OF PURE BADDASITUDE(Which is actually just a two-handed version of the Master Sword, that he wields in one hand) in battle, as well as a large wooden shield, because who needs fireproof defenses when you're this badass? He can survive incredibly high levels of heat, hold his breath near-infinitely, and is trained in the art of sumo wrestling. Rides upon the back of the mighty battle-boar Crusher.
• Backstory: When the twilight army attacked the land of Hyrule, Link set out to fight them. Training under the gorons, Link tempered his body into the perfect fighting machine. After that, he wrestled his way through Zant's hordes, until accidentally discovering the MMBOPD Sword, which he used to break into Zant's fortress and cleave him to death. After discovering that Ganondorf was behind everything, Link headed to Hyrule Castle, where he cleaved every door in his path, until finding Ganondorf and wrestling him to death. Ever since, Link has been searching for a more powerful opponent.

• Name: Toriko
• Age: 25
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: The glutton herself.
• Personality: Generally laid back and pretty relaxed, Toriko is a person with a positive outlook on life. She's a bit stubborn and greatly respects food, so wasting it in front of her is a no no. When engaged in conflict, she gets a bit hotblooded and is prone to enjoying the fight.
• Powers and Abilities: Toriko has incredible metabolism and physical strength, being able to easily throw cars and crack concrete. The bad side is that she needs to consume a lot of food to keep her body from eating itself. Due to being taken out of her world pretty early, she couldn't evolve all that much.
• Backstory: Trained by her adoptive parent Ichiryu, Toriko became one of the Four Heavenly Kings. She is responsible for discovering three percent of the current world's ingredients and a huge celebrity from her world. Her job is to track down undiscovered morsels in dangerous places filled with deadly monsters and bring it back to the human world to share with the masses.

Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.

Goddammit.

I just can't compete with this.

Also, added something to the baron's abilities section. It seemed like a logical thing, given his current state and I didn't want it to seem like an ass-pull when I actually did it. If you feel I should get rid of it, I will.

Falkon, I'm so conflicted on Mc Manly Link... I really find him extra funny, but then again, this RP is supposed to be somewhat serious. This really hurts me, deep in the heart, but I'm going to say no.

Grey Star, accepted.

Bindle, I'm alright with the Baron not being able to die thanks to poisons or lack of air.

edited 8th Jun '12 8:11:37 PM by Stratofarius

I'm fine with that. As I said in the sign up, I doubted he'd be acceptable.

• Name: The Doctor (also known as the Eleventh Doctor)
• Age: 900-ish.
• Gender: Male.
• Appearance: Bowties are cool, and don't you forget that.◊
• Personality: He is energetic, lively, brash and really eccentric. He is resourceful and quick thinking, able to spin things to his point of view and find positive outlooks in negative situations. When things looked bleakest, he liked to have those around him focus on survival, and when focusing on a problem, can ignore everything around him. He's also very childlike and playful, often talking out loud and babbling on about anything. He can also be very arrogant, and is not afraid to show his emotions, like anger.
• Powers and Abilities:
  • Time Lord Knowledge: Just look at that smile. That alien has the knowledge of over 900 years, ten incarnations, and multiple travels across the Universe. It's one of his most important abilities, being able to use it in various fields: mechanics, physics, chemistry, history, or even just plain, trivial knowledge.
  • Sonic Screwdriver: A trusty weapon that can perform many tasks- opening doors, sealing locks, decoding certain codes, scanning for injuries or illnesses, and much, much more. It's an all-in-one sonic screwdriver!
• Backstory:
  • After a fierce fight with the Master, the Tenth Doctor went on with his adventures, going to meet Donna Noble again, and to face the return of one of his past companions. However, with this Eleventh Doctor, that didn't happen. In his timeline, Lucy Saxon not only shot the Master, but accidentally shot the Doctor too, forcing him to regenerate into his eleventh incarnation. In this form, he made sure the Master wouldn't rise again (stopping the events from the End of Time ever happening).
  • In this timeline, while he also obtained a new screwdriver and a new interior of the TARDIS, he never met Amy Pond (yet) or River Song, and continued his travels with Donna Noble. However, even if he was travelling with one of his past companions, due to certain timey wimey complications, Rose Tyler never returned, and Davros' plans to destroy the universe never left the planning board, which caused this Doctor to miss out on several important events in the canon Doctor's timeline.

Well he still has to be an Omnicidal Maniac, otherwise he's just not Khârn. However, this one will refrain from attacking people on sight, just going after the ones who are clearly there to fight (the regular one will happily kill the pilot of the .

As for personality, he exists to fight things, all the time, and without regard for his safety (which is why I put Made of Iron, since it allows him to survive combat. Khornates don't care about wounds they take).

As for powers, he serves a War God who holds magic and sorcery to be occasionally useful but inherently cowardly and despicable, hence the resistance to it.

• Name: Scott Pilgrim/ Nega Scott

• Age: 24

• Gender: Male

• Appearance: Look at that friendly grin.◊ (The heart on his shirt is broken in two.) Power of Heartbreak

• Personality: Scott is a depressing and rude individual to be around, and his smile never leaves his face. He is one the most unmotivated individuals you will ever meet. Lazy, crude and more than willing to hit people where it hurts, physically and mentally. If it takes too much effort he won’t even bother try it, opting instead to play video games or watch movies. Will try to pick fights and generally cause chaos and pain, to make others suffer pain the same as he did. He is still an idiot, though. But every once in a while, for just a short time, the true Scott will show through.

• Powers and Abilities: Common video game inspired moves. e.g. 64 hit combo and fighting game punches and kciks.

• Has grade 5 in longsword proficiency and wields the Power of Heartbreak, a nega version of the Power of Love which has a heart broken in two for the pommel and a jagged blade edge; a black aura surrounds the blade. He pulls the blade from his chest.

• Has the strength, speed and defense of a hero character combined with the darkness of a villian in a video game.

• Backstory: After Scott used his extra life to return in a bid to defeat Gideon, he came face to face with his worst nightmare. Gideon Graves, the very man that had started this whole charade, managed to convince Ramona to return to him. She promptly dumped Scott, and he was removed from the club forcefully and left to wallow in his self-pity on the street. Here he confronted Nega Scott once again, who had broken loose and escaped through the cracks in Scott’s heart. Scott, too depressed and weak to put up a proper fight, was easily defeated by Nega Scott. Nega Scott then proceeded to absorb Scott, making sure he would not be able to fight back again. He then proceeded to re-enter the club, back-hand Ramona and stab Gideon with his newly acquired sword, the Power of Heartbreak. He then left his friends, and old life, behind forever.

• Name: Kreia/ Darth Traya
• Age: 50
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Apathy is death."◊
• Personality: Kreia is an independent, cautious, and above all manipulative person, never hesitating to leverage somebody if she feels it would benefit her. However, she won't hesitate to be frank if the situation calls for it. Although it may not seem it, for certain people she has a softer side. Pragmatism is her watchword, and as a result she will work alongside others if it is to her benefit.

Kreia has a tendency to hold those weak in the Force or deaf to it in contempt, though not quite to the extent of her canon timeline's self due to seeing such people's usefulness being demonstrated multiple times. She finds it amusing that those who cannot access the Force survive without it, while many Jedi would struggle to live without a connection to the Force. She also has a distate of robots and aliens, dismissively calling the former 'machines' rather than their proper designation.

Her core belief is that the Force has a conscious will, and thus she views it like a cruel deity that needs to be destroyed. This informs most of her actions to a greater or lesser degree. She also abhors ignorance and cares for the truth. In general, she's morally grey.

• Powers and Abilities: Despite being physically fragile, Kreia is an extremely potent Force user, with several capabilities at her disposal. She uses a self-built double bladed green lightsaber. She can also apparently communicate telepathically.
  • Telekinesis: Like all Jedi, Kreia can use the Force to push and pull, though heavier objects require more exertion. Her capabilities with it aren't too impressive, all things considered.
  • Hibernation Trance: By slowing down her biological functions, Kreia can enter a hibernation state that makes her appear to all the world as though she is dead or unconscious.
  • Telekinetic lightsaber combat: Using the Force, Kreia can telekinetically wield lightsabers (or presumably other melee weapons), although she likely cannot do this too far away from her body or with more than about three weapons (and even then she won't be able to access many of her abilities due to the concentration required). It cannot be used too often.
  • Lightsaber mastery: Although using a lightsaber isn't her main form of attack, she is talented in several lightsaber styles.
  • Breath Control: Calling upon the Force, Kreia can make herself immune to airborne toxins. However, she cannot keep it up forever.
  • Force Heal: Kreia can heal herself and others, though she is vulnerable while she uses it and depending on the wounds it may take a significant investment of energy.
  • Force Vision: As she is blind, Kreia uses the Force to perceive her surroundings. However, she can't detect the alignment of those around her, and machines are harder to perceive.
  • Force Speed: Kreia can improve her speed using the Force, but this drains a lot of energy and is time limited.
  • Force Lightning: Calling upon the energies of the Dark Side, Kreia can send a fan of electricity arcing toward her opponents. Again this takes a lot of energy.
  • Mind Trick: If used on the weak minded, it can achieve various effects, including convincing them to do as Kreia bids. However, it is not foolproof, and causing harm to the affected person or attempting to make them do something they would strongly disagree with (like making a pacifist commit murder) will immediately break them out of their stupor. Machines and strong willed individuals are entirely immune to its' effects.
  • Energy Resistance: Using the Force as a shield, Kreia can somewhat protect herself from physical attacks, although it steadily drains her Force reserves and a particularly powerful blow will shatter it.
• Backstory: Originally part of the Jedi Order as a Consular/Historian, Kreia was cast out by the Jedi as a result of teaching Revan (an infamous figure who lead many Jedi to fight in the Mandalorian Wars) and the fact that her students followed the future Sith Lord into the Mandalorian Wars. She followed Revan's footsteps in hopes of finding her former student, eventually arriving at the shattered world of Malachor V. There, she fell to the Dark Side and discovered the Trayus Academy, becoming a Sith Lord.

After the Jedi Civil War, she found two apprentices, Darth Sion - Lord of Pain, a man whose fractured body was held together only by his hatred - and Darth Nihilus, Lord of Hunger, who was a force of nature rather than a true person, a void in the Force that devoured all life in his presence. They quickly tired of her teachings and plotted to remove her. Rather than being stripped of her powers and exiled once more by the two members of the Sith Triumvirate, however, this Kreia managed to thwart their attempt and told them to remain behind while she sought out Meetra Surik, the so called last Jedi - in this timeline a man who preferred to use blasters rather than a lightsaber, and who danced perilously close with the Dark Side rather than following the Light Side.

Her apprentices did not stop plotting, however, and even now they come for her and her apprentice while they seek out the Jedi Masters who are in hiding, either to convince them to come to Dantooine or to crush them. As well, she did not lose her hand to Darth Sion aboard the Harbinger during her escape from Peragus with Meetra.

---

There. If she is too powerful I will nerf or remove powers with no hesitation. I am rather worried that she's OP and thus I am willing to go to any length in order to ensure this is not so - after all, I find her interesting because of her character, not due to her powers.

Locking you up on radar since '09

Okay, I've thought of a character, but I'm having trouble working out how to alternize him.

Genderflip.

Uh, this guy is a ditz FPS character who knows he's in a game. Gender flip might not work.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

What.

"Yup. That tasted purple."

Have you ever watched Battlefield Friends? It's a Web Animation series about "The Noob" (the character) and his squad of more experienced friends.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

Not sure that counts as "alternate version of character from established canon".

"Yup. That tasted purple."

I know, that's why I'm trying to find a way to alternize him.

So, current options are genderflip, ponification and changing his abilities.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

You can throw him into another universe — cf. Warriors Orochi!Fate and Subaru.
