Like the name says, this Interest Check is a (hopeful) reboot of a game I did a while ago, known affectionately as C4. If it gets popular enough, I'll put it in the Casual RP section. Here's hoping that this game could be as fun as the last one and maybe last even longer, eheh.


Introduction


"THE PREMISE! Character X wakes up in a strange new location, which they cannot leave due to... well... mysterious forces! What will these various individuals from different dimensions do in such a place?! Will they resign themselves to their fate and live in this not so gilded cage passively? Will they work to tame their location and work it over into a new home? Or will they be able to subvert their fates of captivity and escape with a vengeance?!"

The shadow of a being that resembled that of a nondescript man waved his arms about fervently, clearly hamming it up. "And just who am I? Just the very person who brought you all into my own little world. Why you ask? Because I am bored! How? Due to various subversions of natural laws and breaking logic into itty bitty pieces!~" The gesticulating shade then made a welcoming gesture to those assembled, giving off the feeling it was smiling. "Now then... please do your best to entertain your ever stalwart audience member... The Viewer!" The shadow of the featureless man said, bowing down and then disappearing altogether.

Explanation of RP


Hello everyone, this is just my take on what is supposed to be crossover rp. Basically various characters would find themselves yanked to an island city whose boundaries are surrounded by literal Nothingness, which effectively cuts off escape for the moment. Said island is actually a patchwork quilt of many many different lands, locations, cities, and terrains from all over the multiverse which somehow exist side by side even though logic dictates that it is all but impossible. To make matters worse, the place is dynamic- ever growing and changing. Every day (and sometimes not even that), new locales and characters are shunted in this place to stir up even more trouble.

Intended to be not at all serious and quirky, this is pretty much made to run on rule of awesome and fulfill many fans' dreams of seeing their favorite franchises meeting and clashing with one each other. There is an overall plot, but that takes second place behind characters interacting with one each other and their surroundings. Basically, this is an rp to have all sorts of silly fun and awesome action scenes.

Also, feel free to suggest things that should pop up in the rp. I find that player input is rather important, so people should be able to contribute to the game than with just their PC. If I find it interesting, I'll let you do a subplot or insert in various NPCs just to add to the spice of what I hope to be a round robin game.


Rules

Being that this is a crossover rp intended for established characters from various media, there a few rules to consider.

1) Permitted characters encompass those from visual media, literature, video games, and other such published franchises. Original Characters are not permitted. Webcomics are considered okay. Customizable characters from video games are okay as long as they have some sort of canon personality and are not just heroic mimes. Mass Effect Shepard and Persona Protagonists work out in this regard while characters who solely exist just for gameplay do not.

2) Obviously, no ghosting, auto-hitting, godmoding, or writing up reactions for other people's characters, both PC and NPC. Also no characters who are above a certain level of ability, such as reality warpers or gods that can shift the continents. Even then, some characters below the level may not be able to be used, mind readers or future foretellers being chief among the no no list. Mind control, hypnotism, and arbitrary debuffs such as petrification or one hit kill poisons are also pretty much taboo.

3) I'd rather that people not do any posts that are below three sentences in total or even worse, one sentence posts since that's just lazy. Wait until at least three or four other rpers post before making another post yourself. If it's during combat, then wait until the person who initiated said combat scene to post again before making another post. And do not have your characters try to take on anything and everything and leave nothing for the others to do. This is common posting etiquette.


Character Sheet


*Name:
*Universe: Write the title of the media. Like Optimus Prime gets "Transformers" as his Universe.
*Appearance: Picture link or text description works. Preferably the former since this is for established canon characters.
*Personality: What makes your character tick.
*Powers/Skills: Powers are supernatural abilities and skills are things they can do with just their own body.
*Brief Bio: What did they accomplish in their life and at what point in time were they plucked to end up in this rp.
*Equipment:
*Others: For miscellaneous info on your character. Not mandatory.

Anyways, let's all do our best to have fun and make an awesome rp! ^__^

Interested in this.

Question: So how free are we able to use our established characters abilities? I mean, can we only use the abilities they've shown in the series their in, or are we able to add to their abilities so long as nothing we add conflicts with already established perimeters?

Well, if this is like last time, abilities at least must be alluded to at some point in canon.

Alrighty. Well, I'm at work at the moment, but I'll try to get my Harry Dresden(The Dresden Files) CS up when I get back.

Yep, sure, I'm interested if you'll have me. I've decided that playing a less morally ambiguous character will probably work out better in the long run, so that'll be my contribution.

I'll leave it a one or two more days to see if anyone else is interested and if they are, I'll put this into the casual roleplay section proper.

I like this idea and would like to join!

I have a myriad of interesting characters I could use...

Richard the warlock for one
Maybe Gene the god hand
Oh, or If I really wanted to stir shit up... Twilight Sparkle the Neurotic OCD Princess Book-nerd.

PFFF... This is what I like about multiverse scenarios, anything is possible [barring breech of GM set rules of course] and no matter what one person or the other picks, it's always bound to become something wild and uniquely entertaining. I get to really exercise my imagination and step outside of the standard comfort zone I get used to interacting with the usual single world RPs.

Hmmmm... Would 'TF2 Freaks' fall under the label of OCs? Being that they are customized versions of the game's classes?

Hmmm, what about 'story-wise' god characters that are nerfed? such as one who's source of power is related to something from their world specifically, and being away from their natural location would drastically reduce said power to a far less godlike level?

The Team Fortress 2 people aren't really OCs considering they have set backstories as well as a lot of personality, no. Also generally god-tiered characters are something I'm really skeevy about, even if they're nerfed.

I wonder if this round could garner as much interest as the last. We practically had three full rotations of characters and players, aside from four or five core players.

For the sake of the RP I'll be using a different character. Potentially the same one as I used in your Crossover thread, VVAR, but I'm still mulling it over.

If my opinion means anything, I would encourage you to use a different character. Just to freshen things up a little.

Heh, the idea was that 'away from their natural medium' they would no longer be able 'qualify' as god-tiered, But I understand anyway, it was just a question from standard curiosity.

It still leaves so many possibilities >3> I shall just have to wait to see what I am inspired to have the most fun playing once the OOC is up!
