For a crossover really you couldn't ask for anyone BETTER than Santa, because he's done this game before. As compared to the various characters who are really more applicable to their own story. Santa Claus is applicable to any story. Santa could be in any real genre and place. Other characters only really fit in their timeline, while Santa is timeless and universal.

He would be far more used to the stranger aspects of dimensional traveling. Such as Doctor Who Santa. He's pretty used to the weird man who travels through time and space and has helped him out in a few of his shenanigans and has been helped by the time traveler.


The GM has said no. That's the end of the matter.

"Santa as a pseudo-Time Lord" could work, especially if he works as a professional in any of the organizations in the RP. If weird stuff about widespread misery or lack of belief hits a world, you send in Santa Claus to sort things out.

Where people like Dlanor and Saber solve problems that need a good sword-arm, Santa solves problems that need the physical embodiment of good cheer and generosity.

All we have to do is wait a few weeks before it's a narratively appropriate time for Christmas In July.

Summer is not the right time for a Christmas special.

Santa does need saving a lot, that is true. I'm sure we all know those various Christmas specials where he got kidnapped, and good cheer was being sapped from the world.

It really isn't good for them when Santa is gone. I mean who really wants to live in that sorta sad world?

Also June is probably more likely when Santa is to be kidnapped. After all he has really long lists to check and it does take quite some time to have all the toys manufactured.

And the Holiday Spirit is eternal. Santa very much enjoys surfing with Christmas cheer in the summer.

I would have enjoyed roleplaying with the embodiment of Christmas, as Raditz is surely on the naughty list.

There was that one time in this massive multiplayer crossover RPG where we interrupted an arc (basically we were going through the events of Halo Reach) to do a Christmas Special.

So, what happened? Did the Elites get into the spirit of giving?

The basic gist was that the characters were plucked from their worlds by omnipotent gods who just want to play with them because they're bored and they do that by putting them through challenges, which are essentially going through the events of a work. We were doing Halo: Reach before we were suddenly plucked from that challenge and into the Christmas Challenge.

Name: Chuck Greene

Age: 30

Gender: Male



Canon, AU, or OC?: Canon

Universe of Origin: Dead Rising

Personality: Chuck is a no-nonsense man used to living in a nonsensical world. Though he means well, he often says exactly the wrong thing at the worst possible time. Chuck has a strong sense of justice, and will do anything to protect his loved ones and friends. His abrasive nature often gets him in trouble with the local authorities.

Abilities/Weapons:
Heroic Resolve: Chuck is impossibly durable. Able to take bullets, chainsaws, zombie bites, and explosives many times over without perishing, it's a wonder he is still so handsome after what he's been through.

Arbitrary Resourcefulness: Chuck is a dab hand at mechanics, electronics, medicine, biology, combustion mechanics, and the art of warfare. Oddly enough, this only applies when Chuck is either trying to kill something or making weapons to kill something. It's often suggested that, if Chuck were to broaden his horizons and realize that everything he does is killing something in a way, he could conquer the world within the week.

Driver's License: Chuck is a master at racing motorcycles. Somehow, this translates into exceptional skills at piloting golf carts, forklifts, train cars, starships, trucks, and mecha. When pressed, he cannot adequately explain how to operate these vehicles, suggesting some mystical driving force behind it.

Lightning Metabolism: Even though it should logically be impossible, Chuck can recover from any nonfatal wounds instantaneously through eating food. His digestive tract is equally fantastic, being capable of consuming, holding down, and digesting entire pizzas within seconds.
His metabolism extends to any toxic or debilitating chemicals he consumes. He will suffer the effects of alcohol, food, or chemical poisoning for mere fractions of a minute at a time, before immediately returning to peak form.

Paddlesaw: One of Chuck's favorite weapons, the Paddlesaw is a pair of chainsaws crudely duct-taped to a massive kayak paddle. Chuck uses this as both a paddle for wading through seas of zombified meat and a horribly unwieldy bo staff, to great effect. It is significantly more durable than one would think, and the chainsaws do not appear to need fuel.

Knife Gloves: Another of Chuck's favorite weapons, the Knife Gloves are six mundane kitchen knives embedded in a set of oversized novelty boxing gloves. Given impossible strength through Chuck's eldritch usage of nothing but duct tape, these knives are fully capable of slashing military kevlar to ribbons and cleaving flesh from bone with only a single wild swing.

Katey Greene: Does not accompany him on his adventures. That would be just stupid. She stays at his luxury apartment on Yggdrasil. Despite the UMMA's extensive medical science research, they could not find a way to cure her condition. However, they did find a way to manufacture Zombrex. The UMMA gladly provides Katey with Zombrex, so long as Chuck remains faithful and provides the UMMA's citizens with thrilling entertainment.

Backstory: Born in 1983, Chuck's childhood was rather mundane. Through unknown means, he became a star motocross champion, and travelled across the country to show off his driving skills.

Along the way, he met his future wife Pam Greene, and together they had a lovely daughter named Katey. The trio were inseparable, following Chuck wherever he went, and offering support whenever he was down.

Tragedy struck when a catastrophic outbreak broke out in Las Vegas in 2008, just as Chuck and his family were about to enter it. Unable to escape the city before Pam was infected and zombified, Pam managed to infect Katey before being brought down by Chuck. Together, Chuck and Katey narrowly escape Las Vegas before the city was wiped out.

Now forced to constantly buy the miracle anti-zombification drug Zombrex for his ailing daughter, Chuck worked himself to the bone. Any motocross event that would take him, Chuck joined. Barely managing to make a living between buying Zombrex and maintaining his prized motorcycle, Chuck was a wreck of a man.

Barely three years later, tragedy struck Chuck again as he was trapped in Fortune City just as another zombie outbreak began. Forced to fend for his life for his daughter's sake, Chuck managed to not only rescue a number of civilians, but uncover and destroy the insidious operations of both supposed instigator Tyrone King and the dangerously opportunistic pharmaceuticals company Phenotrans. After a harrowing series of fights against both Phenotrans' chief operative and the eternally-ungrateful Tyrone King,

Life for Chuck Greene had changed quite a bit since the outbreak. Still a loving father with a loving daughter and a potential flame in political activist Stacey Forsythe, Chuck became more active in uncovering all of Phenotrans' dirty laundry. Without anyone to help him find leads, Chuck Greene resorted to old-fashioned bare-knuckle investigations, sneaking into labs and stealing confidential information.

While investigating one promising-looking Phenotrans holding, he discovered a strange device. It thrummed with a strange heat and, when activated, created a portal to somewhere. But where? On the device was the insignia of a strange organization called 'Shadow Eternity'. Just as he was about to take a picture of the strange device, a number of heavily-armed and heavily-armored goons wearing the same insignia surrounded him! With nowhere to run, Chuck fled through the portal and arrived right next to a team of UMMA agents investigating what Shadow Eternity was doing with Phenotrans.

Sensing a hero in Chuck, the agents gladly let Chuck join the UMMA, on the condition that they bring Katey and Stacey along as well. Now a member of the UMMA, Chuck happily became a TV star, performing amazing tricks in exotic universes for fame and fortune. Though Zombrex was provided free of charge to his family, Chuck still worked as hard as ever, bringing fantastic entertainment to the UMMA's population.

Faction: UMMA

He seems fine, though I'll point out that being an actor would probably not be a requirement to continually providing Zombrex.

The qualifiers would probably be mostly out of humanitarian aid, but also to help make sure he doesn't suddenly abandon the UMMA since they're the ones providing his daughter with the medicine she needs.

Though being an actor/performer is perfectly fine too, obviously.
