I had a lot of fun playing Zyata, even as short as it was. I kinda want to do some slice of life roleplaying with them. But that may just be my "oh, got all my characters killed, gotta find something else to do for the rest of the battle" kicking in.
well believe it or not the Amazons are the only Neutral party I had the time to develop before I went on hiatus, so if you are interested we could see about putting something together if you want to use Zyata more. Wouldn't be opposed to a 1x1 on the PM if you really want to get into her.
Consider that neutral characters aren't aloud (even though your an Ex Co-GM), mind if you give me some insight on it?
Eh, it's a bit of a persisting misnomer, but Neutral is more of a term applying to local inhabitants of the Nexus that are hostile to all sides. Angels, Demons, and Machina are typically lesser to these beings who pose as substantial hazards. The Amazons would be one such party who have their jungle territory and will abduct anyone who intrudes, though for the purposes of Hoho's challenge a few were summoned to fight for Heaven in that battle.
So you still can't be Neutral, and you'll never get the chance to join them as anything but a slave that is never seen again.
@Lonewolf685 I'd love to do something like that. Do you have any ideas?
Well you said slice of life, so can always find something interesting to do in the amazon's capital village, or I could whip up a few smaller scale scenarios in the Nexus away from the main theater of war, but we should probably take that line of dialogue to the PMs.
I feel like making one of the two things for hell...
1). A corrupted spider-mech/cyborg character...
Or 2). A beast character/boss representing the Beast of 666...
Choices choices...
You can't quite do a Boss character, if you haven't noticed that yet. You may do each option, but they are just going to be "normal" combatants like everyone else.
Because Tartys is trying to shoot down Hibiki, not anytime soon. She's too busy dodging to try to drop the V2, though she may go for a much riskier maneuver depending if Tartys would risk shooting a laser right through Henry and Zeruel to get to Hibiki.
Personality: Insane would be an understatement for the Frog, as he has some sort of system to his attacks. People who've met the frog have seen him as the most kindhearted individual, always wanting to see the smiles on the faces of others. Those who have fought the frog know that his fighting style is chaotic, destructive, and all around increasingly deadly the longer it goes on. The Frog has a bitter resentment of humankind, and will happily try and throw down against angels if he gets the chance, but will be more than happy to put on a show if requested by a child... or maybe an idiot.
Commonly airing on the children's television shows for Hyperion, Kermit was a popular star for kids to learn from and look up to. A lot of people came to the conclusion that he was a very good role model for kids, and everyone loved the idea of him helping people find out how many letters are in the alphabet, what to do at various traffic signs, and all around be a good sport in life. The market realized this was a goldmine for products, and many Kermit puppets were made for retail sales. One of these toys was picked up by a mother whose daughter was one of the biggest fans imaginable. She loved the frog character, and it was always fun to have a bedtime story read to you by your favorite frog.
The puppet was packed away once the child grew out of the phase where she liked Kermit, eventually leading to the next time the frog was picked up being about 15 years later, where the daughter was throwing a party and a few of the attendees found the frog in a box of stuff that people could just take. These attendees were not fun guys, as they took the puppet outside into the backyard and began to do unthinkable things to it. Some were rather tame and could be treated with a wash, like how one guy pulled down his pants and urinated on the puppet, while other were a bit more... not-so-washable. The memory of necking will never leave the frog's mind. After the party was over, the frog was found in the backyard 2 days later, covered in various liquids aside from urine. The daughter was disgusted by this, and she had the natural realization to throw the puppet away in the dumpster, which was hauled off by a garbage collector later that day.
As the puppet was discarded in the dump, a strange looking man walked up to the small puppet, lifting it up with his hand and holding it. Disgusted when he realized the state the toy was in, the man threw it back onto the ground, covering the toy in more grime and gunk. It was at this point where the frog became... sentient, to some extent. The puppet left the dump that morning, and the police had found the dead remains of a strange looking man, riddled with stab wounds and with the design of Kermit's eye etched into the back of the man's neck.
The same day, the police found the dead remains of a teenage girl, her foot cut off and with the same mark of Kermit's eye on her forearm. A man was found beside her with his hand cut off, marked the same way.
The murderer was never found.
Powers:
Frogginess - Kermit expresses all traits shared with what he was designed after. From the voice of the actual character to even the incredible jumping ability. Some would assume his jumps would be limited by his height, but they'd be wrong.
Showtime - Declared by saying "It's Showtime!", Kermit is able to grab the attention of anything and everything around him, which forces the person to keep their eyes on him at all times. If they look away, they are rendered froggy and must put up with having too big of a tongue for the rest of the area, which commonly gets under their legs and trips them up. Demons and people with no eyes are immune to this, unfortunately.
Rat-a-tat - Kermit's gun has a seemingly unlimited amount of ammo as long as he can continue saying the phrase of "RATATATATATATATAT..."
Puppeteer - If anyone dares to put on Kermit as a hand-puppet without asking, may they lose all will to fight and fall under his control.
Weapons:
The Rainbow Cannon - An unfitting name for an AK-47 with a drum mag armed by a frog, the Cannon is actually capable of firing any sort of bullet that's loaded into the magazine, which also is able to carry any kind of bullet that's in existence. This cannot load any sort of rocket, sadly, as that would be incredibly dumb and OP, and we don't want to teach kiddies how to be OP, as it makes them snooty.

Let's try and avoid too many meme characters here. I'll accept it now only because I like him and can find use for him given the next set of steps in motion. That being said, some things need to be said. I assume his Showtime and Puppeteer will be communicated between players, yes? Making sure we don't just control other people's characters without reason. As for his backstory, any human who's not enslaved in Hyperion is probably being used as a soldier or experiment. So unless all the people you mentioned in his history were Machina, it's doubtful any humans will have had any contact with him.
@TheWindel Would the outskirts work for the history bit? As for the powers, I would start communications with another player before the next post should someone put on the puppet.
