This has to be the most adorable cafe in Platform City. It is run by the cutest creatures in the video game universe. It is interestingly a popular dating spot for young men and women. Young bucks often take their girls here, hoping that they’ll have their brains washed by the cuteness into falling in love with them. The old adorable puppy trick. Waddle Doo (Kirby) is the owner of this bright and bubbly cafe.
Sometimes a character just wants to get away and have some privacy. Whether it be intimate or personal, The Save Point is the place to go. NiGHTS (Nights into Dreams) is the owner and she guarantees that all guests will receive a restful sleep. The beds and comforters are surprisingly perfect and the activities taking place in other rooms cannot be heard through the walls. That may not necessarily be a good thing at times, but for now, having not received any negative news, it’s perfect! The best hotel in Platform City. Welcome to The Save Point.
Some like it loud! Some like it flashy! Some love to dance, show off, and receive bountiful attention. Club OST has the crowd and the beats. With DJ Sona (League of Legends) spinning the discs, the club never gets old. There are lounges where friends can sit among each other and a bar that has a hot and popular bartender. Loosen up, have a blast, at Club OST!
Hailed as not only being the best restaurant in Platform City, but for having the greatest if not the best chef in the universe, Mama’s is the place to go; and do not worry, Mama can cook anything. There isn't a dish she can't cook. She will not just cook it but make it better -- just like Mama used to make. Heroes be warned. Mama’s cooking can bust some belts if you're not mindful of what you’re ordering or how much you’re ordering and Mama is always excited to please. She can make healthy options as well as vegetarian to vegan options for those unique customers.
The cheapest and most decent apartment complex in the city. Not everyone likes to live in a big fancy-smancy castle. The apartment is pretty basic with your usual rowdy neighbors and their nonsensical drama. It is right next to a railway and the train shakes the entire building when it passes. Don't worry; that is just the least of your problems. Wait until you see the landlord!
The Smash Arena is a secret underground fight club held in an abandoned railway complex in the subway. Steve Fox (Tekken) runs the show and Moneybags (Spyro The Dragon) collects the bets. Fighters can participate in an assortment of matches and win gold, prizes, and of course, loads of XP. There are cage fights, tag team battles, survival matches, and more. The Smash Arena is only open on a random day once a month (IRL). When the announcement goes out that it is open, sign up while you can! Don't miss it for you might wish you hadn't!
Note: This is an anuual GM run event. Unfortunately, characters cannot access The Smash Arena IC whenever they want. They will instead have to wait, like everybody else, until the event goes live. When the event goes live, fights will take place in the Arena.
Okay that was all for the IC sections. I will link all of them to the main IC post so people aren't sorting through posts worth of information. :) But I posted them so everyone can browse all the places their characters will be able to go.
Kingdom: A small forsaken land called Clover in the Capcom Kingdom
Written Description: A larger than average wolf with fiery eyes and fur that shines as white as the driven snow, only those with great spiritual awareness or particularly open minds can see the distinctive red markings and divine instrument resting on her back. Fewer still can look totally past the mortal shell to glimpse the beautiful young goddess within.
Personality: A combination of good natured generosity and boredom ensure that Ammy never wants for something to do. She will help anyone in need, including taking the time to feed wild animals, and take any challenge presented to her. This charity comes from a place of deep love, both of humans and the natural world, but it's hard to deny that the resulting praise and adoration doesn't play at least some part in it. She is a God after all, and faith is her lifeblood. To this end she can step back and use a subtle paw when dealing with earthly problems, but prefers a brute force approach befitting her more brawn than brains nature. She's the sort who rushes into danger without hesitation, putting herself forward as a matter of course whenever a monster needs slaying or a source of spiritual corruption needs stamping out. These things are her responsibility as a divine being.
Less divine (depending on who you ask) are her short attention span, generally disrespectful attitude, fondness for both treasure and voluptuous young women, and disapproval at any of these flaws being pointed out. While she enjoys hanging around and listening to people someone going on for too long at her will just put her to sleep unless it's something of dire importance, and sometimes even then. Despite being a wolf Ammy is pretty easy to read and readily displays whatever she's feeling at the moment.
Game: Okami
Current Story: While content to let her son/present incarnation on Earth (god stuff, complicated) deal with the last crisis, this Mugen situation is dangerous enough to warrant her personal intervention. To this end she has re-assumed a mortal form to answer the capital's call for heroes, leaving the kid to look after Nippon, though she's discovered that having two mortal incarnations running around at the same time has left her greatly diminished.
Weapon(s):Divine Retribution - A green reflector wreathed in bright red flames resting on Amaterasu's back, the weakest of all reflector class Divine Instruments. A functional and balanced weapon, excelling in neither speed nor power, Ammy is capable of lashing out with the reflector at close range. When used as a sub-weapon the reflector can be used as a shield to block frontal attacks. With the proper timing the enemy can even be knocked off balance by this, setting them up for the devastating Izuna Otoshi piledriver should Ammy sink her teeth into them during this time.
Lv 1Sunrise - Amaterasu's default Celestial Brush ability. By drawing a fully enclosed circle in the sky Ammy causes the sun to appear, changing night into day.

Strengths
Beasthood - Ammy is a wolf, with the strength, speed, natural weapons, and keen senses that entails. Even without her divine empowerment she is able to go at the enemy with tooth and claw, her senses are sharp enough to lead her to long buried treasure, her agility is great enough to let her thrust herself though the air and leap off walls to reach greater heights, and she's strong enough to run at full speed with a grown man on her back.
Godhood - Amaterasu is a divine being. Flowers spring up in her wake and form under her to cushion her falls. He nature give her the ability to resist curses and corruption of sufficient strength to turn normal people to stone outright, if only for a short while. Her spiritual senses are as sharp as her animal ones, allowing her to perceive things beyond the scope of ordinary mortals such as ghosts and hidden monsters. She is also immortal and if "killed" can return to life at a later date, though this would take many, many, many years.
Good Doghood - Ammy is a big wolf that strangers not only allow to hang around, sometimes in their homes or with their children, but interact and talk with as though she were a family pet. Even people that can't perceive her true nature seem to unburden themselves on this strange animal, sharing of their problems and worries. This doesn't apply to all people, but enough find her trustworthy for it to be odd.
Celestial Brush - A brush capable of manipulating the fabric of local reality to cause various effects should the user know the proper brush strokes. When the brush is in use time halts until either the user is done or runs out of ink, the effects of the brush going off once time is resumed. Can be used without specific strokes to doodle on things, cover them in ink, and create shooting stars in the night sky. People can even be circled in order to get their attention. Actually Ammy's tail.
Weaknesses Ammy can't fly, can't get good traction on ice, and while capable of swimming can't keep it up too long or dive under the water. Her celestial brush can't be used in places that are heavily cursed or corrupted, and each effect she causes takes up a certain amount of her celestial ink. Though it regenerates by itself if she uses up her entire supply she loses her divine powers and becomes an ordinary wolf for a short period of time. Most importantly, Ammy is incapable of speech so even if she figured out the entire plot at the very beginning of the adventure she wouldn't be able to share her insights with anyone.
@GentlemanvaultboyThis profile looks good. If the Celestial Ink situation becomes an issue for you later, since I will be leaving it up to you to dictate when she has enough ink or runs out of ink, then we'll put a specific use limit on it. Also, are you thinking about selecting a human pic for her too? Be warned, Mario will have the audacity to hit on a goddess. But yeah, this profile is approved.
Once I get majority of the interest folks CS, then I'll convert the OP, IC (to include the links) over to an actual thread.
@Holy Soldier I was planning to tie the amount I had to (M)Damage and play how fast it regens by ear. That one pip I have is sufficient to represent the three ink pots you start out with, and most powers use up one every shot. It's mostly to limit myself so I can't just spam Power Slash in lieu of melee.
I added a picture of her as a person, but the only person right now I could see actually viewing her like that is Rosalina because she's kind of/maybe a fellow god.
You know, I'm looking at this whole 'experience' thing, and it basically says to be a bad writer and give your post lots and lots of fluff in order to get massive amounts of xp. More is not always better. Might wanna change that a bit or at least aknowledge minimalist writers. (Thats most well selling authors nowadays anyway)
Welp, I decided to go with this character again, but has changed her appearance to the classic ORIGINAL style instead of what we usually see as of the present.
Samus Aran
Character Name: Justin Bailey; Codename "Samus Aran"
Title: Legend
Kingdom: Nintendo
Written Description: Samus Aran is a cybernetically enhanced adult human female, standing at a height of 6'3" (1.9 meters) weighing in at 198lbs (90kg) without her suit, with blueish-green eyes and neon green hair in the form of a ponytail. She is athletically built, with a nice curved body, along with some well-developed muscles on her arms and legs. She even sports some abs underneath the pink leotard, covering strictly her arms and body, leaving her legs fully exposed, though they can cover them if the situation requires it thanks to a unique foam technology that can be manipulated at will. She also wears long purple boots that conver her lower legs up to just below the knees. She also wields her arm cannon on her right arm.
Personality: Samus can be described as a strong and independent woman, relating much more to that of a tomboy. She's mostly serious, often sporting a frown or an umemotional-like neutral face, and does she rarely ever smile. Not to mention, she takes no shit from anyone that tries to boss her around, save for her employers to a certain extent. She is headstrong and determined to finish every job that she gets and simply get paid at the end of the day. Once paid, she's rather chill. If not paid, or doublecrossed, it's really hard to control and convince Samus to gain her trust back. She also isn't afraid to disobey orders if the situation calls for doing it, being very cautious with her surroundings. Basically, she's a badass.
Oh, and Samus also hates a certain purple alien dragon going by the name of Ridley... yeah, he killed her parents when she was very young. He's her nemesis, and she will do nothing to see him obliterated in the most brutal way possible. If only she can get her hands on his thin neck once and for all... if only he doesn't flee and get resurrected again.
Game: Metroid - (1986)
Current Story:
Ever since her parents died on her home planet of K-2L, as well as having finished training with the Chozo aliens, Samus Aran has become a bounty hunter/mercenary-for-hire. She works mostly for corporations or occasionally with the Earth Federation to capture precious artifacts, kill notorious space pirate commanders, and other missions of the like. Ever since the Mugen Virus had been detected in the outer rim planets, Samus has been tasked in trying to dispose of it within her sector. She's been quite busy with this giant task, but has also been allowed to take other missions to get herself paid. Yet even she can't take the virus all by herself and with reports coming in that the plague has been infecting other universes, she'll need some backup to keep the galaxy at peace.
Weapon(s):Arm Cannon: - Samus Aran's Arm Cannon is her primary weapon, capable of both energy-based and ballistic attacks. The Arm Cannon, as its name implies, is affixed to the Power Suit's right forearm. What separates the Arm Cannon from other firearms is its ability to access various weapons systems by quickly changing its configuration, thus eliminating the need for multiple (and sometimes bulky) guns. She can switch weapon systems, from firing plasma pellets, to plasma beams, missiles, and super missiles (her armor can also drop bombs).
(Currently, she can only fire her default plasma beam pellets at her opponent)
Stat.
Level One
(P)Damage 1 (P)Defense 2 (M)(E)Damage 3 (M)(E)Defense 2 Dexterity 2 0% (This is critical damage. Everyone starts at 0%.) XP ////////// (0/10)
General Abilities
Lvl 1 Homing Missile Launcher: Samus can fire missiles from her arm cannon, which can lock onto an opponent and cause more damage than her regular uncharged shots. They aren't infinite however, as Samus has only 5 missiles she can currently hold at a time. To refill, she must find a recharge station (like in her ship), or find/buy missile tanks that increase her missile capacity by 5.

Items Slot One. Slot Two. Slot Three.
Strengths
Enhanced Strength: Thanks to her genetic enhancements by the Chozo, Samus' strength is stronger than that of an average human's. She can grip onto edges for long periods of time, issue strong melee attacks and even tank some very strong hits and be rather OK. She can even break through walls.
Extremely Flexible: In her suit, Samus can curl up into a ball when in the air or on the ground, allowing her to roll into tiny spaces where most people can't go. Outside of her suit, she's also athletically flexible, allowing her to flip and jump high in the air. She's basically equivalent to a veteran gymnast.
Expert Pilot: Having her own personal gunship that resembles her helmet, Samus really knows how to fly a space ship. She has even done such perilous evasive maneuvers, that one slight mistake would've been disastrous.
Alert: Samus is constantly alert when in unknown territories. In battle, she also observes her opponent carefully, checking for weak spots and openings to issue a counterattack.
Weaknesses For starters, Samus can't fly. She also can't tolerate extremely hot or cold environments, such as lava and all-time blizzard planets, without proper upgrades to her suits. While her suit can tolerate water, her movement is equivalent to that of a regular human, which can only be fixed by equipping the Gravity Suit. Strong plasma blasts can rip through her suit if they manage to get a hit on her as well. And despite being mostly cautious and aware of her surroundings, she sometimes fails to live up to them when caught completely off guard.
@Holy SoldierA bit of a temporary solution, but my roommate gave me the go-ahead to play from his computer for the time being (until I can get my own). In that case, would I be good to reserve Fox? If not, I understand. I want to be able to inspire confidence, after all.
