Si Vis Votum - Alternate Universe Crossover RP

Okay still making mine but I have to say a One piece version of Reccomb is genius

• Name: Zuko
• Age: 16
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Normal◊ Zuko, and Blue Spirit!◊Zuko
• Personality: A bit hot-tempered, Zuko will lash out if he gets too angry. More often than not, he can keep it under control with his outwardly stoic nature. He is very clever, though he puts honor before logic, even in tough situations. He refuses to let go of old beliefs, and is morally conflicted in general. Despite this, he tries to help kind people if he can.
• Powers and Abilities: He is a mostly-expert firebender, and an expert at dual-weilding (fighting with two swords). He is amazingly stealthy and cunning, allowing him to go most places silently. His pseudonym's namesake will occasionally help him with cryptic messages.
• Backstory: Zuko, the prince of the Fire Nation, was banished by his father at a young age for interrupting a war meeting, but he thought it was the right thing for his father to do. Years later, he helped his target, Avatar Aang, under the guise of the Blue Spirit so as to keep his identity hidden. He stayed anonymous, but met the Avatar's group shortly after and began reevaluating his opinions on his father, the war between Fire Nation and the world, and himself.

I have one more, who I will hopefully post shortly.

And what's the AU? O_o

It's an AU where Zuko stays the Blue Spirit, and the Gaang get to know "Blue" instead of Zuko, who changes because of it. He's similar to third season Zuko (the AU takes place in the second season), but has a wider arsenal of skills and is different in several other ways.

So in your interpretation Zuko becomes a superhero? I find that hilarious. XD

Seren, accepted. Addy, don't worry, I've read the fanfic, and things change a lot, so I'll consider it an AU.

TYM, Fulgore seems fine, but the lasers from his eyes just seem... useless. Could you remove those? Also, make it so that he can't teleport every single time.

Rain, only one thing keeps me from accepting Ysolda: too much naked. I know it's part of the character, but... no, just... no. There's grown men on the ship, and there's also little kids, it just wouldn't work.

• Name: Godot AKA Diego Armando
• Age: 33
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: "Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than hell itself...That is coffee."◊
• Personality: Godot is smug. He is fond of referring to women by pet names like "kitten" as well as using countless metaphors and quotes constituting his "rules". He is calm and collected, seemingly incapable of being fazed by anything. He likes coffee. A lot. During a trial day, he drinks 17 cups of coffee chosen from his 107+ personal blends and many of his metaphors tend to be based around coffee. He is apparently quite good at impersonating the voices of others.
• Powers and Abilities: Brilliant deductive reasoning and investigative skills, fitting for a lawyer (well, a lawyer from a world where everything except arresting the suspects is up to the lawyers). Also, optic blasts. Yeah, those punches from the punch dimension that Cyclops uses.
• Backstory: He was once the hot shot defense attorney, Diego Armando. A great lawyer, until one case where someone poisoned his coffee. The poison caused his hair to turn white and caused major damage to his central nervous system and eyes. A team of doctors did their best, but expected that he would never awaken. 5 years later, someone brought a cup of coffee near the room the fallen lawyer was in and Godot was born. Upon hearing that his girlfriend had been murdered a year prior to his resurrection, Godot took on the job of a prosecutor, punishing those who committed such crimes. Strangely, the scientist that developed his visor had, unbeknownst to those who had intended on simply bringing the lawyer back from the brink of death, given it the ability to generate blasts of concussive force similar to the mutant, Cyclops. Since then, he made it his duty to stop criminals in the act, or if he should fail at that, to bring them to justice for their crimes.

I can get rid of the teleporting, but Fulgore's eye beams are actually pretty lethal in canon, so I'm not sure on that one.

Would blasts of electricity from Fulgore's claws be a suitable replacement?

Seems fine, but not too strong.

Tachi, Godot is accepted.

Tomorrow, I'll be closing sign-ups to new players. Sorry folks, want to avoid character overload.

All righty then.

I really hope I can do him justice...if I do something wrong, please tell me. Loudly and clearly, or I won't understand. I'm very dense.

• Name: Batman
• Age: 33
• Gender: Male
• Appearance: Anarchy in black◊
• Personality: Like many Batmen out there, he is aloof, yet vengeful.
• Powers and Abilities: No powers, but a large arsenal of weaponry including batarangs and grappling hooks. If nothing else, he's smart enough to slip through the fingers of an iron fisted regime, and to plan an excellent trap for an all powerful alien.
• Backstory: This version of Bruce Wayne grew up in the early 20th Century, the son of two dissidents in the U.S.S.R. Then, in 1953, his loving parents were gunned down during a purge by the secret police, lead by Pyotr Roslov, one of Stalin's many illegitimate sons. The boy swore vengeance upon that chief of police, and the entire Soviet Regime. Not long afterwards, the great leader of Russia was poisoned, and the reigns of government were passed down to a champion of the nation; a man found abandoned in the farmlands, a man faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.

This Superman continued to lead the communist regime well into the seventies, changing the fate of the world forever. Superman faced many attacks from the US, in the form of powerful being developed by scientist Lex Luthor, but a constant thorn in his side by 1978 was the attacks of the one man terrorist cell, Batman. Batman's life's work was disrupting the ever-watchful Superman regime. He could bomb five different locations, be pursued by police in sky and on ground, and still give them the slip without a fingerprint left behind. Eventually, Batman met Piotr Roslov once more, now head of security services and plotting to take over from Superman. Roslov passed the news that Luthor had finally cracked Superman's weakness, and wanted Batman to be the one to kill him. Batman agreed, but vowed to bring down Roslov next.

The setup was fairly simple. Batman abducted Superman's ally, Wonder Woman, and tied her up with her own magical lasso. He took her to a former Siberian detention camp, where a number of lamps had been set up, replicating the heat of a red giant star. As a final precaution, Batman swallowed a bomb. When Superman arrived to save Wonder Woman, the lamps bathed him in the light of the Kryptonian red sun, taking away Superman's powers. Vulnerable for the first time, Superman was soundly beaten, and thrown into a basement. But then, in Superman's most desperate hour yet, Wonder Woman snapped her own lasso and destroyed the power generator for the solar lamps. Superman broke free, and it seemed that Batman, like all traitors to the state, would be lobotomised into blissful obedience. Instead, Batman opted to detonate his explosive and blow himself to smithereens. With his final words, Batman ratted out Pyotr, avenging his parents by proxy.

Oh wow, Lizard, that is an alternate universe. Accepted. Question: is it original or fan-made?

Sign-ups for new players are closed. Sowwy folks.

It's a official Elseworld.

It is an official AU, from the very excellent Superman Red Son, which introduced me in a roundabout way to much of the DC mythos.

There is a motion comic of it, but in my opinion it takes a bit too much from the story by trimming it down.

Signups are open again, but new characters won't participate on the current world.

edited 22nd Jun '12 6:38:27 PM by Stratofarius

So that means you're creating a seperate world?

edited 23rd Jun '12 2:47:15 PM by sonofkong

No, it means they'll be on the ship, but won't be able to go to the current world.

damn I should signup for this its just figuring out who to play as is the problem

You know that you'd better punctuate, right?

I have a problem with punctuation that I am trying to work out

Yeah, it's kinda hard to miss when your posts don't contain any. English isn't your first language, is it?

English is my first language but I had a pretty terrible education.

Well, now it's better. You're punctuating. You can also get help in this thread.

Cool! thanks
