May include Danik, but not Tiedemann for reasons those familiar with the DSU may understand. I am proposing creating a micro-faction of villains, each of which have their own reason for being there, which will not be used right now, or probably for a little while to come (maybe a few weeks from now will be their introduction). I will write up a history for the group, a reason why each of them joined up, and etcetera upon being given the go-ahead to expand on the idea. For now, I shall propose a list of possible members, complete with links so that I don't have to write a dozen bios and ability lists. [Jacob Danik](http://deadspace.wikia.com/wiki/Jacob_Arthur_Danik), Dead Space- Zealous Unitologist who survived the Tau Volantis incident, contrary to canon, and followed Clarke through the anomaly that sent him to another universe. Danik was sent elsewhere, and used the opportunity to find suitable superhumans that would aid him in his quest to initiate Convergence. [Derek Simmons](http://residentevil.wikia.com/Derek_C._Simmons), Resident Evil [The Didact](http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow-of-Sundered-Star), Halo- Also known as Shadow-of-Sundered-Star [Alduin](http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Alduin), Elder Scrolls [Frieza](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Frieza), DragonBall- I never really enjoyed DragonBall personally, but I feel Frieza would be a character that would fit... For some reason. You know what they say, "Gotta trust your gut." A further nerfed version of [Rythian](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/2311682), a character I created, is possible but not guaranteed. -Enter proposals here. OCs welcome.- What I basically want to do with this is have a villainous group that we can eventually have a massive final battle with all (or at least the majority) of the characters involved (which would be epic) that would, at the same time, not involve destroying either the Shadow Eternity or the UMMA. Everything we have right now would stay in place, but we basically have an excuse for a massive endgame(ish) showdown that won't ultimately end everything. It'll also be open to others to claim characters to play as their own, if they choose to do so.

**Name:** Courtney **Theme:** [The New Boss](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paxuRw7UFeY) **Age:** 24 **Gender:** Female **Appearance:** [... Deleting.](http://th04.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/f/2014/341/2/2/courtney_by_r_no71-d88sue9.png) **Canon, AU, or OC?:** Canon **Universe of Origin:** Pokemon (Hoenn Region) **Personality:** Completely aloof to anything, most of the time Courtney is like a robot, incapable of expression any form of emotion and talks with a monotone voice. She doesn't speak much when it is not required, and when she does it is in fractions. She's notorious for being direct and straight to the point while doing her job efficiently, but if a fight is required, she's particularly sadistic and often smirks when commencing her engagements. However if control was to slip from her grasp, she could easily burst into irrational behavior, sometimes throwing fits of rage or even saying complete nonsense. She also shows a rather disturbing side of her when she's interested in something, or usually someone, usually licking her lips exceptionally slowly when she locks into someone and finishes her sentences with little "aha's". She is relentless when she's interested in something or has a specific goal, usually stalking whatever she covets and eventually finds out how to deal with them. She's very calculating and exceptionally brilliant because of her past as a scientist and admin in team Magma. **Abilities/Weapons:** Having taken over the remains of Team Magma, the power that Courtney holds is very rare and is enough to threaten the balance of any ecosystem she can encounter. - _Martial arts:_ Team Magma's strict code of conduct has led to many higher ranks to solicit multiple ways to defend the army against opposing forces. Courtney is capable of traditional hand-to-hand combat in a rather effective way. Her slim body also allows her to be a swift gymnast, enabling a strong agility and acrobatic-like maneuvers. - [Key Stone](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/c/c3/Mega_Ring_female.png): Used to activate mega evolution. - [The Red Orb](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/b/b9/Red_Orb_anime.png): The Orb that was once in Team Magma's possession has fallen in the hands of the admin who never gave up on the organization. The orb itself is capable of controlling the Legendary Pokemon Groudon and allow it to undergo primal reversion. The orb is said to be capable of fusing with a being who holds it, as of now Courtney has not fused. The one who wields the orb isn't affected or hindered by Groudon's abilities. - [Primal Groudon](http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2014/258/7/e/pokemon___primal_groudon_by_r_nowong-d7za0o2.png): When using the power of the Red Orb, Courtney is capable of summoning the great Groudon as long as land is nearby (any form). The legendary Pokemon is under her complete control and siphons the power of the orb to enter its Primal Form. About 5 meters in height and a ton in weight, it is no laughing matter. Its offensive and defensive powers are no pushovers either. It can be sealed away by using the Red Orb and concealing it in a container, forcing Groudon to return in the form of earth. When in Primal form, it holds the following abilities and attacks: - **_Desolate Land:_** With its presence, Groudon's body acts as a form of miniature sun, eliminating all weak water based lifeforms nearby and turning all water into steam in an instant. The earth below its feet and slight around it turns into lava as well. The heat hits the 70°C, making it unbearable to non-fighters to stay near Groudon. - Precipice Blades - Earthquake - Lava Plume - Eruption - Eruption here is the type of ability that's AoE to the point of being able to lay waste to a planet. However, it isn't used this way in regular fights. If it were the case, it would used a toned down version, filling the entire field in lava and causing giant rocks to fall from the sky. - [Mega-Camerupt](http://www.pokepedia.fr/images/thumb/1/15/M%C3%A9ga-Cam%C3%A9rupt-ROSA.png/769px-M%C3%A9ga-Cam%C3%A9rupt-ROSA.png): With a Cameruptite attached to it, the regular [Camerupt](http://www.pokepedia.fr/images/thumb/c/c6/Cam%C3%A9rupt-RS.png/743px-Cam%C3%A9rupt-RS.png) mega evolves into a much stronger and more resilient form, packing extra firepower too. - **_Sheer Force:_** This ability promotes the strength of offensive moves but weakens the side effects. Such as flames will not leave as bad burns but will have twice the force and size, increasing the chances of lethal hits. - Earth Power - Flamethrower - Rock Slide - Eruption - [Weezing](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/42/110Weezing.png): One of the common tools in Team Magma, she wields one of her own for utility and support. **_Levitate:_** The Pokemon can Levitate, that's it. - Smokescreen - Sludge Bomb - Flamethrower - Explosion - [Mightyena](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/f/f1/262Mightyena.png): Another common tool in the Magma department. **_Intimidate:_** It barks and looks intimidating, the weaker minded is easily frightened by it and its aggressiveness can even make tougher ones flinch. - Crunch - Sucker Punch - Roar - Odor Sleuth - [Crobat](http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/1/17/169Crobat.png): Her main use of transport for air travel, it's pretty darn effective considering it isn't small at all. **_Inner Focus:_** It cannot be distracted or intimidated. - Mean Look - Cross Poison - Air Slash - Confuse ray **Backstory:** Before and during her membership in Team Magma, Courtney was a scientist. What type of scientist is anyone's guess but her interest in Magma Leader Maxie's ideal has lead many to believe she specialized in geological-like researches. During her life as a subordinate to Maxie, she was named an admin because of her ability to get things done correctly as well as her overall level of education. She only failed when it came to preventing the heroes of Hoenn from foiling Magma's plan. As Team Magma finally secured the Red Orb, she defended their interests to the very end. When Team Magma fell to the hands of a young child, she was consumed by rage, but remained loyal to her boss, protecting him to the end. As everything was evidently over, she desperately took over the commands of the team that was abandoned by a broken Maxie. During the Delta Episode, she was ready to annihilate millions of people by recreating the 3000 year war just to prove herself as an adequate guide for Team Magma. She unfortunately lost, and entered a fit of insanity. After the meteor crash was avoided, she went into hiding, slowly reclaiming her Key Stone and the Red Orb hidden away by Steven Stone. After a year of handling Magma in its underground tunnels that the team discovered the existence of Hoopa, a Pokemon capable of travelling through dimensions. Using this to her advantage, she ordered the capture of the creature and forced it to open a portal. The one that it opened led to the Multiverse, where Shadow Eternity took notice of her ways and abilities. Being the sadistic she is, she could not decline. Through the Mutiverse, she learned to use the Red Orb's power to it fullest, but it left her dull. The fact that she had to depend on a giant Land creature annoyed her. She wanted to power for herself. Incidentally, a member in the organisation had an intriguing past with the fusion of dangerous matter. Courtney wanted nothing more than bring Team Magma to its Peak, make very land their land. And by gaining Groudon's power for herself, she could finally acquire this coveted dream her leader transmitted to her. **Faction:** Shadow Eternity

> Yeah, that's fine by me. It's meant to be a stark contrast, and he's not exactly going to be actively working against the group. That probably wouldn't work, seeing as Bjorn is on an UMMA ship. It's basically going to start an immediate fight to the death if they saw each other.

@Art of Fun: Well, I'm just concerned because it's likely Bjorn will be with the UMMA given current circumstances and given what I understand this wouldn't turn out well. @CourierSix: Your first two seem fine. Alduin apparently can't be killed by anyone but the Dragonborn which... does not work out here. Frieza is massively overpowered for this RP. ... For the Didact, I'm having trouble making an unbiased decision. @Savato: Hmm... Groudon I'm a bit worried about, but I'm not really sure how some attacks like Mean Look and stuff would translate to an RP as well.

> @Savato: Hmm... Groudon I'm a bit worried about, but I'm not really sure how some attacks like Mean Look and stuff would translate to an RP as well. Groudon is pretty big but he isn't bigger than Blackout or Ridley and he isn't intelligent either. He can destroy an entire planet's ecosystem out of battle so it's usually toned down in fights. He can impose fear to the civilizations who don't obey SE? Okay let me elaborate for the smaller moves: Mean Look: Locks the stage for enemies until Crobat is either defeated or out of the field. Confuse Ray: Right and left are switched. Roar: Pushes stuff away (because it's a strong roar) Odor Sleuth: Super smell, because doggy.

Also, why would she even have Groudon to begin with?

> Also, why would she even have Groudon to begin with? If a 10 year old brat from a tiny town can have it, why not her? Because in Omega Ruby she kind of takes command (albeit badly) of Team Magma as Maxie kind of gave up for some reason. I'm basing this off the Delta Episode. So Team Magma gets Groudon back because stupid reasons and the Orb was never hard to get from the beginning, that and I just like that Pokemon. Edit: My apologies, I tried to justify a little too much something from POKEMON. Real answer: Because Gameshark.

 Name: Yuki Nagato Age: 4 (Appears to be 17) Gender: Female Canon Universe of Origin: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Personality: Yuki was created with limited social abilities, something she claims will affect her until she ceases functioning. She rarely speaks, often ignoring attempts to communicate using gestures like nods, staring or pointing, or giving one word replies. Sometimes she provides a complex explanation using mostly scientific terms to explain even the simplest of things, or announces events which others might not notice. Yuki's voice is usually a monotone, and her facial expressions rarely change, and any such changes are minor. Careful observation is required to discern any emotional responses. As a result, Yuki frequently acts "shy". When interacting with people she doesn't know very well, she frequently stares at the floor and either gives very short responses or says nothing at all, even if angry. Yuki has shown a poor understanding of emotions, especially her own. When pushed to describe her own emotions, she usually says nothing or gives an understated answer, such as "relatively" enjoying books and being "a little bit" disappointed at being rejected. She rarely expresses opinions, and these are usually based on those of the Data Overmind. Yuki is very fond of reading and later developed computer programming as a hobby. She has occasionally demonstrated interest in human activities, such as watching fireworks and reciting poetry. Yuki appears to have a low opinion of herself, and is also a closet Otaku. Abilities/Weapons: Yuki has superhuman strength, agility, stamina, is immune to pain, alcohol, and all human disease. She also has very keen eyesight, which allows her to determine a number of factors about biological and data-based organisms, such as heat. Yuki's memory is flawless, and it can't be erased as long as she stays connected to the Overmind. She can manipulate both physical and conceptual things. Most of her spells involve some kind of incantation, but they are spoken at an incredible speed. This also allows her to create a separate space known as a Data Jurisdiction, where she has free control of the space. Due to her connection with the Overmind, she can dissolve all forms of data, as well as contact others electronically from her brain. Her glasses can be used to inject people with anything, though its really only useful for nanomachines. Backstory: Yuki was created three years prior to meeting Kyon and Haruhi, with the purpose of observing humanity and its ability to evolve in intelligence, and more importantly, Haruhi Suzumiya and the data flare that she created around that time. Her only real goal, even in the multiverse, is to observe. Faction: Factionless.

And do you mean to say you do bot like Halo??????

From what she's told me she _does_ like Halo... 1 to 3. She doesn't like that guy.

I am interested in joining as someone from my own lore. No one too ovepowered but if I could get a plot

@Savato: I'm concerned about her having something that can destroy a planet and being more likely to use it. And when I mentioned the moves, I mean how they apply to the RP outside of game mechanics. For example, I don't think some characters would care about Mean Look. @Stephanie Dola: Ah, I love Yuki! ... But, um, I'm afraid she's a bit too powerful for this. After all, her abilities are only a step down from Haruhi's and are quite literally reality-warping. It's a shame, I've wanted to use her before too but there's basically no way she can really get into an RP given her abilities. @CourierSix: Killable Alduin might be acceptable, possibly. As for the Didact... well, I'm someone who really enjoyed Halo 1-3, ODST, and Reach. I was... not such a big fan of 4 and especially not of the Didact. In this case I'm having a hard time giving an unbiased judgement on him because of this. @sarinstrdr: OC's are allowed, so we'll see when you post the bio.

It's easiest to post if I understand a plot.

Um, well, the only real plot since I'm aiming for a fair amount of freedom is the multiversal UMMA fighting the evil Shadow Eternity. Nothing that's not in the first post basically. ^^;

> @Art of Fun: Well, I'm just concerned because it's likely Bjorn will be with the UMMA given current circumstances and given what I understand this wouldn't turn out well. Fair enough. I'll make Atun factionless.

> Um, well, the only real plot since I'm aiming for a fair amount of freedom is the multiversal UMMA fighting the evil Shadow Eternity. > > Nothing that's not in the first post basically. ^^; Alright if it's a single person the I have a guy who isn't quite a god but something like it in some ways and if more than one I gave an organization who takes care of business.

@Art of Fun: Accepted, then. @sarinstrdr: Uh, if I'm reading this right we're playing characters, not factions, like the OP says.

I've finally figured out what kind of Character I'm going to use that's from an AU of the Dresden Files. I'm just having some trouble with the wording ^.^;

> @Art of Fun: Accepted, then. > > @sarinstrdr: Uh, if I'm reading this right we're playing characters, not factions, like the OP says. Just voicing options I'll get out a character bio by Tuesday at the latest

Still accepting characters?
