[OOC] WELCOME TO KAIBA WORLD (Yu-Gi-Oh! Roleplay)

[Shortcake]

@KOgaming
Wouldn't a proper tourney have to be eight or sixteen?

[Satoshi Kyou]

Does a character have to have a duel disk or can i pass with just a handheld that acts as a duel disk?

[KOgaming]

@Azure13

I don't know if you've read the OP, but Zarc in this setting is like Zushin the sleeping Giant, where it's powerful relatively speaking but also very common.

@Shortcake

I also wanted a few NPCs so that the players weren't all fighting one another.

@Satoshi Kyou

You mean a duel disk?

[Azure13]

@Azure13

I don't know if you've read the OP, but Zarc in this setting is like Zushin the sleeping Giant, where it's powerful relatively speaking but also very common.

@KOgaming

I did read it. I just like playing Z-arc.dek. It's my second favorite deck to play in the game :P

[KOgaming]

@Azure13

But wouldn't you rather play something like Harpy Lady to suit your character better? Rather than a big beater?

[Azure13]

@KOgaming

But it does fit the character. One of her major themes is the duality of self. Look closely and note that she plays 2 of almost every magician instead of just one. Pendulums as a mechanic is a pair based system and on top of this a lot of cards (Both graph's in the form of the traps and sorcerers, Z-arc Gates, Creation/Destruction Magician, and Dragonpit/Vein) are designed to work together. Also the flexible nature of the deck leads to better duel crafting. Lastly the duel is entertainment for herself. Just because Z-Arc is her ace doesn't mean she has to play around dedicating herself to summoning it

[Satoshi Kyou]

@KOgamingYou'll see when I post the sheet, if its no good i'll hear it from ya

[KOgaming]

@Azure13

Geminis.

@KOgaming

I half debated it, but fond them not to have enough interesting support for scripted duels

[clanjos]

Name: Daniel Black
Sex: Male
Age: 25

Appearance: If using a description.

Duel Disk: It's a typical Duel Disk, but the round part is painted to resemble a grinning skull.
Duel Runner: A dirtbike he can drive with great skill.

Speed Duel Skill:
 DEATH THE CRISIS- Once per turn, if you control a zombie-type Ritual monster, you can shuffle 2 banished Zombie-type monsters or Ritual spells into your deck.
Ace Monster: Revendread Dangerous
Deck Master Ability: If a zombie type monster would be destroyed, you can send one card from the top of your deck to your graveyard. If you do, it is not destroyed. Once per duel: shuffle your graveyard into your deck.

Personality: Dan appears to be a polite and humble man, both with a sense of sympathy and compassion. He's a jolly fellow, quick to laugh. Despite this, he's quite quick to anger- especially when people question his artistic decisions. He's always under a lot of stress- Pegasus is a tough man to work with. His non-Duel Monsters hobbies include BMX and motorycles... but his greatest passion is trashy zombie movies.

History: Dan Black is a card designer at Industrial Illusions- not only does he help to create the game, but he loves playing it as well. He's been working on Duel Monsters since the days of Duelist Kingdom. At first, Special Summoning was something that happened maybe once, twice a duel, that could turn the tide of the entire match. Ritual summons symbolized arcane forces offering powerful monsters in exchange for tribute. Fusions were a way to get out more powerful monsters using your weaker ones. Granted, the game was still a mess in its early phases, but it had a lot of fun to it- just ask the participants in the duelist kingdom. They seemed to love Dan's work on programming Newtonian physics into the engine of the holographic platforms. But, that was removed for the sake of "streamlining" the game. Confusing, but understandable.

Dan kept working on Duel Monsters, making sure his beloved Zombie type monsters got plenty of generic support- something that makes them a bit more viable than, say, Reptiles or Rocks. The zombie archetypes appreciate the support as well. For a few years, they tried introducing new concepts- Union, Spirit, and Gemini monsters. Well, nobody liked Spirit or Gemini monsters, but certain Union monsters saw play from folks like Seto Kaiba. Fusion monsters- alternate summoning conditions like XYZ Tank Dragon Cannon, fusion-based archetypes like Elemental HEROs and Predaplants, and monsters with generic materials. What he didn't understand was, after all the experimentation with Fusion and Effect monsters, Pegasus decided to roll out Synchros. Okay, sure, they messed up the game for a while, but the metagame adapted, and they were a refinement of the existing Fusion concept- Small monsters into something big. And people could still run decks that didn't rely on Synchro's 100%. But then, Pegasus forced them to introduce three new mechanics at once- Pendulum, XYZ, and Links. Now, Dan wasn't averse to introducing new cards or mechanics- but three at once was a bit much for the metagame.

Well, he was okay with the introduction of the new cards... until he came to a horrible realization. Someone had made the Link monsters the same blue as Ritual monsters... and forgot to make any zombie ones. Well, that wouldn't stand, and he needed to protect the image of his beloved zombies. Thankfully, he had a pretty good record in low-stakes duel tournaments between various offices near the California branch of Industrial Illusions- and got an invitation to the grand opening of Kaiba World. Using his Vendread deck, he hopes to eternally cement the glory of both Ritual monsters and Zombies!

Revendread Dangerous

Revendread Dangerous
Level 10 Ritual Dark/Zombie Effect monster
2500 / 0
This card can be Ritual Summoned using Contract with the Abyss. If you do, you do not need to match its level exactly. You can use any number of levels for the Ritual Summon of this monster, and if you ritual summon it, treat all its tributes as if they were on the field. While on the field, you can choose to treat this monster as Level 0. If this monster would be destroyed, you can send the top card of your deck to the graveyard, and it is not destroyed.

[KOgaming]

@clanjos

I get you wanted the zombies, but why not make the deck a HERO deck like your history pointed out you wanted it to be? You could've had the whole alliteration that the old Destiny HEROes had before KoA decided that it was too lame.

Think about it.

DESTINY HERO DANGEROUS DUDE.

Also do you mind cutting Releaser to 1? The current decks are fairly reliant on Special Summoning and I feel like having four chances to lock you opponents out of it would be too unfair. After that, your character is accepted.

@Azure13

I still feel like the whole Zarc theme is a little forced.

[clanjos]

I switched the Releaser for a Contract With The Abyss. Might look into a Zombie variant of Ritual Sanctuary as a custom card down the line.

[KOgaming]

@clanjos

Are you sure you wouldn't rather have Pre-preparation of Rites? I know Revendread Origin technically doesn't list a ritual monster, but it does include the name "Revendread Slayer" which should be enough for Pre-prep.

[Satoshi Kyou]

Name: Silver Joker (Real name: Shizuki Miki)
Sex: Female
Age: 18

Appearance: Silver stands at 1.80 meters and has short, grayish silver hair which is neatly gelled up. She usually covers her mouth with a wine red scarf, hiding her sharp face and giving her a bit more of a boyish look. Her dulled black winter coat makes her shoulders look wider than they actually are and she wears a midnight blue coloured, zip-up hoodie underneath. The ruby red shirt she wears underneath goes past the hips and gives off the illusion that her waist is located much lower than it actually is. At the end of her coat, covering her hands are two differently coloured, fingerless gloves like the two colours of suits for playing cards: Rose red for the right, spider black for the left. Her dark blue jeans continue from where her shirt left off, covering entire legs and hiding how slender they actually are. At the very bottom of her physique are some sporty black sneakers. All of her clothing, save for the winter coat, are from male brands which causes confusion on what gender Silver actually is.

Duel Disk: Silver goes around using a Kaiba Corp® licensed handheld gaming system, modified to be able to send out a wi-fi signal to Duel Disks and connect with them for dueling. All she has to do then is insert one of her games and she can play a match of Duel Monsters while tapping away at the tiny screen in her hands.
Duel Runner: Silver Joker rides custom made runner modeled after the Gradius ship. If it were to ever break and has to be repaired she has a secondary jury rigged Gradius arcade cabinet. Just strap on some wheels, rewire a few things and put in an engine, as well as giving it a socket to hook up with her handheld and it’s right as rain for Turbo Dueling. Surprisingly, it can still function as a proper arcade machine when necessary.

A Gamer’s Trick:
 Once per Duel, if a card effect is activated, you can immediately activate that effect again.
Ace Monster: Victory Viper XX03
Deck Master: Same as Ace
Deck Master Ability: "Power Capsule can target any LIGHT Machine-type monster with 2 or more effects”


Personality:Silver is a simple person and prefers to keep to herself however she isn't someone who shrugs people off. When it comes to video games she tends to be open for discussion and has a rather bad habit of stopping in the middle of the conversation to play her handheld. When she does, she's usually playing her favorite games, Gradius, Parodius and sometimes several Duel Monsters games.
*Has a surprisingly calming voice when she speaks without her scarf

History: From a young age, she’s always loved playing games and turned out to be very skilled at them. Sometimes Silver visited arcades to play a few games there. Due to the way she liked to dress, along with her silver hair, she adopted the name Silver Joker, abbreviated to SJ to display as the number 1 high-score on nearly every machine. With the way she quickly completed games using only a small number of quarters she often drew attention to her... although her style of clothing made it so she was oftentimes referred to as a boy. She didn’t really care, though, as long she could play her games. Soon after the arcade phase of her life she got her hands on a few handheld consoles, introducing her to the duel monster series of games. This lead to her learning the card game as well, of course. She tended to play unusual, but creative decks mostly based on her favorite video games and still managed to do extremely well in all of them.

Years later, she discovered livestreaming and noted that most people tended to focus on talking in the middle of games, providing a facecam and commentary to interact with people. Silver thought this was an insult to games as it distracted from the core gameplay, so she started her own channel. Naturally, it was a silent stream with only her gaming skills being displayed. She did, on occasion, ask her chatroom to participate in small races or score attacks for some games she played. Nobody was ever a match though, she always defeated them. The viewers that took part made for a rather interesting split in the fanbase, between people who enjoyed watching her and people who enjoyed playing against her.

Silver doesn’t really share any information about her parents or even if they’re really alive, as it appears she’s always been fully capable of taking care of herself. She learned to cook through some cooking games and although she wasn’t not particularly great at cooking by herself, she improved with through trial and error. The dishes she can make can be surprisingly tasty, but they’re limited to what she likes to eat and she doesn’t tend to change her eating habits. This leads to a lot of pasta-based meals, mainly.

@KOgaming

There's still a bit of benefits for the character to play Z-Arc.dek though. For one where the cards are common it means the deck is less specialized allowing for Martha to keep her identity far more secret

[KOgaming]

@clanjos

I don't mind that you don't have a speed or turbo deck, but I do expect that filled out in the future. I'll give you one of them for free but the other one will cost points. There will be penalties in-character for not being able to participate in events.

@Satoshi Kyou

To some extent I really don't like your character but to another extent I sorta do. I feel like I'm viscerally opposed to "gamer girl" types and I also don't think you'll do very well in portraying the role- no offense. Other than that though, I don't see anything particularly wrong about your character. Go ahead and post it.

@Azure13

What was the reason she wanted to play the deck in the first place? Is the alternate personality schizophrenia or just something she does? Choose a funner gimmick.

[Ammokkx]

@KOgaming

Just noticed something weird with your deck master ability.

"Once per turn, you can decrease the levels of all WATER monsters in your hand (even after they are Summoned/Set)."

Doesn't say by how many you're decreasing.

[Satoshi Kyou]

@KOgaming Don't view her as a gamer girl, view her as a character who is good at what she does

[Azure13]

@KOgaming

I intended to play a deck that I found fun and interesting for my character; however, I don't believe we're going to be willing to see eye to eye on this. As such I will humbly retract my entry and drop the RP. To those who go through I wish you the best of luck and lots of fun.

[Satoshi Kyou]

@clanjossigh actually I wanted to make the fact there is a line saying "If using a description." in the place where should be appearance a gag IC but I think I should point it out.

we don't know what Daniel looks like
