@Bugman

Looks good overall then. Are you still wanting to wait a month for the new year in order to begin?

@Lugubrious

While I would like to get started sooner, Q4 is very busy and I wouldn't want to cause trouble by getting into it only to not be able to post for weeks, wouldn't be good for me and certainly wouldn't be good for the game. I can probably get into it slightly earlier than the new year, though.

Reposting the sheet since I edited it how you asked the last time, Lug, and figure it'd help more than making you hunt down the original post. The strengths and weaknesses have been changed, and the wording on Essence of Mayhem has been slightly altered. Otherwise it's the same.

The Part-Time Hero

Name: Ichiban Kasuga

Game Origin: Yakuza: Like a Dragon (aka Yakuza 7)

Appearance: Just a mop-headed ex-yakuza looking for a job.

Personality: Ichiban might seem simple on the outside - a well-meaning goofball who's a bit slow on the uptake and too stubborn to care - but there's a lot more going on under the surface. Ichiban has a rigid moral code, a sense of righteousness that colors everything he does. Heavily believing in one's honor and the responsibilities that come with it, he'll set straight anybody he sees as straying from the path. But don't think that makes him some holier-than-thou type. Ichiban is incredibly humble and will always see the best in those that get looked down on. He's no bully, and only uses his skills to protect those that need it, like a real hero.

He is really stubborn though, that part's very true.

Background: Ichiban Kasuga, born on New Years day, was an orphan who was found and raised by a soapland owner since he was a baby. Growing up in an unsavory environment didn't lend him much of a social life, but it afforded him an immense pool of compassion and empathy to people that others would see as lesser. His friendless childhood also drove him to spend most of his freetime playing Dragon Quest, leading to his obsession with the game and RPGs as a whole, eventually viewing life as one big one. Before then, during his teen years, Ichiban ran afoul of some local Yakuza and, in a bid to protect himself, name-dropped the Arakawa clan, hoping it would scare them off. Instead, it lead to the head of the Arakawa clan, Masumi, to show up in person and save Ichiban, at the cost of a finger and a humbling apology. Ichiban, shocked at Arakawa's choice to demean himself to help a random kid, all for the sake of upholding the clan's image, indebted himself to Arakawa in the hopes of joining his clan and learning from him. After months of hanging around the Arakawa office through rain or snow or shine, Arakawa eventually relented, and accepted Ichiban into the family.

Ever since, Ichiban was a loyal member to the Arakawa clan, becoming a personal favorite for the patriarch himself and even appointed as a sort of caretaker to Arakawa's wheelchair-bound son, although his direct superiors weren't so happy with Ichiban's goody goody antics. Eventually, at the turn of the 21st century, Ichiban's life would change forever; one of his commanding officers shot a rival yakuza member, and Arakawa asked Ichiban to take the fall and go to prison in his stead. Ichiban, ecstatic to finally have a chance to honor the clan's name as Arakawa had the first time they met, marched himself right to the police to confess to the crime.

18 years in the clink later, Ichiban was released to... nothing. Despite Arakawa's promises, no one was there to greet him back to the free world. Nobody save for a retired cop named Adachi, who delivers some poor news to him; the Tojo clan, to which the Arakawa family was a subsidiary of, was wiped entirely, with Arakawa now a member of the Tojo's sworn rivals the Omi Alliance. In complete disbelief Ichiban agrees to help Adachi get to the bottom of Arakawa's change in allegiance, if and why he would sell out the Tojo, and his apparent coldness towards Ichiban. However, this ultimately lead to Ichiban getting shot through the chest by Arakawa himself...

...but not dead yet. Waking up in a city called Ijincho, Ichiban was saved from death by a local homeless settlement, particularly an ex-nurse named Nanba who patched him up. Now without a job, a family, or a real place in the world, Ichiban set out to figure out the truth of his 18 year imprisonment, why Arakawa shot him, why he ended up in Ijincho, and maybe, just maybe, be able to afford dinner. (Ichiban will have been taken partway through the story - around a mid-point, rather than the start of his proper journey.)

Specialty: Adaptability, buffs & status effects, the power of friendship

Level: 1

Experience: 0/10

Powers:

• Tag Team: Essence of Mayhem - Ichiban's signature Heat Move, Essence of Mayhem is an all-out attack against a single target. Should Ichiban land a blow using this move, the target is stunned, setting them up for additional attacks from up to 3 other allies, one after the other, finishing it off with a dropkick from yours truly for devastating damage. Ichiban cannot use Essence of Mayhem if he is afflicted with a status ailment.

Strengths:

• Personality Stats - Like most people, Ichiban has a personality that's made up of several different traits - Passion, Confidence, Charisma, Kindness, Intellect, & Style. Unlike most people, these traits can provide bonuses to Ichiban; raising his resistances to ailments, increasing power for specific attacks, and boosting the effectiveness of his buffs. They all start off weak, at Lv. 1 (out of 10), though Ichiban can gain points towards their next levels by divvying up EXP gained from posts or through significant "dialogue choices" that best represent a related trait.
• Life is Like a Video Game - Having been so invested in playing RPGs in his youth, Ichiban has gained considerable knowledge of the various gaming franchises of his time. Despite being an unremarkable skill where he's from, this wealth of information is pretty useful in the World of Light, affording Ichiban details and foresight on what he may encounter that others lack.
• Inventory Space - Typical of any RPG protagonist, Ichiban possesses a near infinite amount of storage space on his person even though he realistically has, like, only five or six pockets to use. He's able to carry a staggering amount of different items, upwards of 99 of each unique kind, regardless of size, weight, bulkiness (though the common sense of it being able to be held in the first place is still required), with even perishable foods staying fresh and living creatures remaining healthy and content.

Weaknesses:

• Trying Hard to Beat the Stage - 18 years in the joint made Ichiban a fucking pussy lose his bearings in the video game world. Without the proper time to have caught up in all that he's missed, Ichiban's knowledge of video games cuts off past the year 2000, so anything that came after that time will be a mystery to him, though he may get by on context clues from long franchises.
• Flat Broke - On a level even more extreme than most, Ichiban is penniless. Or yenless. Not a single coin to his name, Ichiban's current poverty back in his home world has translated to a near cosmic constant in the World of Light - any funds he does get will be gone soon, meaning he has a time limit in being able to use the money he gains.

Inventory:

• Valuables: Cell Phone
• Weapons: Self-proclaimed Hero’s Bat (a metal bat with rusty barbed wire bunched up at the end)
• Consumables: None

Spirits:

Guest List:

• Nanba - a very close friend to Ichiban, though he views their bond as even closer due to Nanba's role in saving his goddamn life. Despite being a homeless bum, Nanba provides invaluable support, both in his knowledge of healing from his time as a nurse and his scrappy, street-level knowhow.
• The Hero - the descent of Erdrick, tasked with bringing light back to the kingdom of Alefgard. Ichiban used to play the early Dragon Quest games obsessively, so if he knew he was in the same place as this guy, he'd probably nerd the hell out about it.
• Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu - known as the "Ultimate Yakuza", Fuyuhiko was enrolled in Hope's Peak Academy with other notable Ultimates. Fuyuhiko has a few less scruples than Ichiban and a whole lot more cynicism, but much like the baby face he's stuck with, there's a softer bit of him somewhere in there.

@TruthHurts22

Good overall. The addendum to the 'being broke' weakness that he tends to lose his money fast as well is what keeps it from being a worthless weakness, but that's really the only possible nitpick. You can start playing as him once the other prerequisites are met.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lugubrious fyi I'm going to be busy for the next few weeks. Lots of shopping and visiting relatives. Just til January 1st.

[Dark Cloud]

Okeydoke I'm back early for this week.

[Lugubrious]

Nice. I've kept Benedict close but in the background, so you'll be all caught up once you read the recent updates you're mentioned in.

Maverick Hunter, 17th Elite Unit

---

Game Origin:
Mega Man X

---

Personality:

Despite being designed as a weapon of war, X has a remarkably pacifistic personality. He detests violence and will always attempt to avoid it whenever possible. He's never fought a single Maverick that he hasn't at least tried to reason with first. X's strong sense of mercy and justice came from a 30 year long testing and diagnostics phase, resulting in a much more reinforced personality than many of the robots who would come after him. This renders him uniquely immune to the the corrupting effects of the Sigma Virus as well as the temptation to ever go Maverick. However, he holds no tolerance for injustice and takes his quest for peace very seriously. In times of conflict, he is a hot-blooded warrior who is compelled by his emotions over logic.

Background

Mega Man X was the very last and greatest creation of Dr. Thomas Light. Dr. Light had already spent a number of years innovating and perfecting his robot designs, none more so than his surrogate children, Mega Man and Roll. During these years, he had outfit Mega Man with a number of combat capabilities in order to put a stop to the sinister plans of Light's former colleague, Dr. Albert Wily. After many battles against Dr. Wily, Dr. Light began work on what would eventually be his final creation. The robot was based strongly on Mega Man - bearing similar colors and weaponry - and was later named Mega Man X. Unlike any of Dr. Light's robots, X was designed with a highly advanced artificial intelligence that granted him complete self-awareness. He would be able to think, feel, and make decisions much like a human rather than based on any computer programming.

But the undertaking, Dr. Light realized, would take decades - well beyond the Doctor's lifespan. Knowing this, Dr. Light prepared a special stasis capsule that would continue run tests on X even after his eventual passing. Dr. Light also included a great number of viral counter-measures that he calculated would ensure X would never succumb to any virus or malicious programming, as well as a number of capsules that would contain more advanced weapon and armor data that would be compatible with X and scattered them all over the world in secluded hiding places. He then recorded a final message to X, wishing him well and his hopes that X would use his unlimited ability of choice to fight for peace in the future. On September 18, 20XX, X was sealed away for what was originally intended to be 30 years.

But unfortunately, things did not go entirely according to Dr. Light's plan. X remained sealed for much longer than originally intended. A full 100 years would pass before X was finally discovered and unsealed by scientist Dr. Cain in the year 21XX. Though not a robotics expert, Cain was amazed by X's specifications, as even a hundred years later they were still well beyond anything the world had ever seen. And with these details as well as direct help from X, Dr. Cain developed the next generation of robots that would come to called Reploids.

However, the Reploids never received the same degree of ethical testing as X and due to this oversight - in addition to other malfunctions - more and more Reploids began acting strangely, even prone to becoming violent. These dangerous Reploids would be called "Mavericks" and more Maverick incidents occurred, the government and Dr. Cain founded the Maverick Hunters as a way of policing Maverick activity. Among the Maverick Hunters was a Reploid named Sigma, considered by many to be Dr. Cain's most powerful creation. He served as the commander of the Maverick Hunters and became a legend in his own right. Meanwhile, X remained unsure of what his place in this world would be.

And then, on June 4, 21XX, the world changed forever. The former commander Sigma turned Maverick after investigating a mysterious sleeping robot. He then began a worldwide Reploid rebellion bent on eradicating humankind. X felt responsible for this tragic turn of events, and thus he requested to join the Maverick Hunters - now led by Zero after Sigma's treason - to help put a stop to the conflict.

X and Zero fought together in multiple conflicts against Sigma that would come to be known as the Maverick Wars. With the most recent conflict sparking from Sigma's infiltration of Repliforce - initially intended to help deter Maverick activity only for the Repliforce itself to be labeled Mavericks after they were blamed for attacking the Sky Lagoon. This resulted in a brief war between the Maverick Hunters and the Repliforce, which was then discovered to be a plot by Sigma to weaken both forces in order for him to attack humanity.

It was in the aftermath of this conflict that Galeem's tendrils found their way into X's world.

The Maverick Hunters still operate in the World of Light, although their numbers have been reduced substantially. They're based out of Sector 8 in Midgar, their reduced numbers and influence has since required the previously Reploid-only organization to accept human members. Those humans were apart of a company called Maverick Security Consultancy, and so now the two organizations are effectively merged. The Reploids focusing on the Maverick Hunting side of things, while the humans tend to focus on the Security Consulting side of things.

Specialty:
Ranged Attack

Level:
1
Experience:
0/10

Powers:

• Fourth Armor: An upgrade to X's armor and weapon received from a set of four Dr. Light Capsules that were recovered during the Great Repliforce War. The body armor halves all battle damage done to X and allows him to use the Nova Strike - a rushing, invincible, damage-inducing dash attack with limited energy that recharges over time. The leg armor allows him to perform a midair dash as well as hover for a short period. The arm cannon part allows X to charge his X-Buster up to a third level, producing a Plasma Charge Shot that fades away gradually upon impact to allow it deal extra lingering damage. The third-level charge can also be used with any Special Weapon acquired from defeating Mavericks in order to produce a more powerful variant of the weapon attack at the cost of consuming more weapon energy than normal. And the helmet part contains an energy recycling system that allows X to use uncharged special weapons without consuming any weapon energy. X is also equipped with his normal arsenal consisting of a ground level dash useful for evasion or for adding a little extra speed and height to jumps for increased momentum, the ability to cling to walls in order descend from them slowly or even to climb his way up them, and his iconic Arm Cannon that can fire weak rapid shots or be charged up to two levels (three with the Fourth Armor) for a more powerful shot called the X-Buster.

Strengths:

• Variable Weapon System: Just like his predecessor, X is capable of absorbing data from a defeated Maverick to allow him to copy one of their weapons and use it for himself. The color of X's armor will change depending on the special weapon that is equipped, and each special weapon has their own limited energy capacity that is consumed in order for the weapon to be fired.
• Maverick Hunter HQ: A fully stocked and staffed HQ that acts as X's main support structure. Through their Transerver, X can be freely teleported to and from HQ - though in order to return X must remain motionless long enough for the Transerver to lock onto his coordinates, meaning he can't be teleported during the heat of battle. Within HQ, X's life energy and weapon energy can be fully replenished and he can also switch between whatever armor variants he has unlocked. Finally, HQ is also home to the Navigators. These invaluable Reploids remain in almost constant contact with X in order to provide him much needed intel for whatever mission he is on. X usually works with 3 specific Navigators: Alia, who specializes in programming language and data analysis - allowing her to analyze and complete the upgrades obtained from Dr. Light Capsules; Layer, who specializes in Reploid and Mechaniloid development - allowing her to analyze enemy strengths, weaknesses, and patterns; and Pallette, who specializes in cartography and route analysis in order to help X find hidden areas or structural irregularities and weaknesses in the areas his missions take him to.
• Reploid: Because X is a machine and not a human, he does not require air or sustenance to survive. This allows him to travel very lightly and explore underwater areas indefinitely without fear of drowning. His reinforced mechanical body can also easily withstand the pressure of deep undersea levels as well as the vacuum of space.

Weaknesses:

• Maverick Hunter HQ: The HQ can sometimes be a bane as much as it is a boon. The aforementioned flaw in the Transerver system would be one of them. But there's also the fact that the Transerver requires a recharge time in between uses, specifically for return teleportations. This means that once X is sent out there is a required period of time that must pass before he can be brought back, so he must choose what equipment to take with him carefully because he will stuck with that load-out for some time before he can be afforded an opportunity to make any changes to it. X also is of course beholden to whatever orders or restrictions that are placed on him for any given mission, even if he himself does not agree with them.
• Locked Arsenal: Although X is capable of wielding a variety of armors that grant different specializations or special weapons that grant a great deal of versatility, they must all be unlocked either by acquiring the data from Light Capsules or by finding and defeating Mavericks.
• Spikes: Like any Maverick or Robot Master, X too has a crippling weakness. In his case it's spike hazards. Whether it's spiked floors, spiked walls, or spiked ceilings - one touch can instantly deal crippling damage to X's life energy if not kill him outright.

Spirits:

• None

Guest List:

• Blade Wolf
• Vile
• Copy X

Inventory:

• Arm Cannon
• Fourth Armor
• Sub Tank - An energy tank that can store excess life energy that X can use to heal himself with while in the field. It can be used infinitely but must have it's energy refilled between uses.

@Double the best Mega Man of the game series imo.

[Dark Cloud]

Nice. I've kept Benedict close but in the background, so you'll be all caught up once you read the recent updates you're mentioned in.

@Lugubrious

Yep I'm caught up. But I won't post just yet. Hopefully today I get the phone I'm buying, so I'll try to get something written this week. Prolly before Wednesday.

[Dark Cloud]

I think I won't be able to post in time with Christmas getting close. This is a stressful time, I'm sorry. But I'll be following things as much as I can.

[Lugubrious]

For the Binding of Isaac team, let's go ahead and for everyone's reference set a scale of what enemies are appearing and in what waves, with the ones dealt with by Ms Fortune already crossed out:

Wave 1 (start of fight): Ascended Brawler, Ascended Brawler, Ascended Witch, Rapturous Cultist
Wave 2 (first quarter): Ascended Brawler, Ascended Witch, Rapturous Cultist, Cultist Priest
Wave 3 (halfway point): Ascended Brawler, Ascended Brawler, Ascended Witch, Ascended Witch,
Wave 4 (three quarters): Rapturous Cultist, Cultist Priest, Templar Impaler

And to everyone not in the Discord server, as well as in general: Merry Christmas!

[Dark Cloud]

Merry Christmas everyone, just letting ya'll know I'm just a bit busy. Going to buy a tablet so I don't need to post from my ps4. So I'll just be a bit sporadic for the next week or two. Have a happy holidays.

The Genetic Pokémon

---

Game Origin:
Pokémon

---

Personality:
Mewtwo can often act distant or detached from those around him. And given that he's a Pokémon, this makes a bit of sense. He sometimes doesn't comprehend the often illogical actions of humans or other humanoids, as if Mewtwo himself is still in the process of learning how to understand them. Still, beyond that he's amicable and agreeable enough. Mewtwo takes a similar approach when in battle. He'll simply calculate what he thinks is the best plan of action and then simply execute it. Since Mewtwo is essentially a Wild Pokémon, he's a bit more prone to attacking instinctively when flustered, since he has no Trainer to watch and analyze the situation for him.

Background

Mewtwo was "born" in a secret laboratory located on the remote Island of Cinnabar. Mewtwo was genetically engineered to be a clone of the Pokémon known as Mew. The project was headed by Scientist and Gym Leader Blaine, but was also secretly funded by Giovanni of Team Rocket. With his influence, Giovanni was able to ensure that Mewtwo would be born with even greater power than Mew, desiring only to claim ownership of the world's most powerful Pokémon. But Mewtwo had greater intelligence than initially designed, going berserk when he began to question his own purpose and existence. He destroyed the lab, leaving virtually no survivors. Then, as he stood in the wreckage, Mewtwo was approached by Giovanni.

Giovanni offered to give Mewtwo a purpose. And while the Pokémon was tempted at first, a quick read of the man's mind told Mewtwo that he was not to be trusted. And so the Pokémon used his own powers to fly away, where he then proceeded to live in solitude in a secret cave located in the heart of the Kanto Region. It was some time after this that Mewtwo was whisked away to eventually fight in a few of the original Smash tournaments. He was among those that were obliterated by Galeem's Light.

For a while, Mewtwo remained in Alcamoth where he was made to fight others in tournaments. But Galeem's influence was purged from him when the Seekers of Light managed to defeat the Ender Dragon, just as everyone else living in the region. Mewtwo has been working with the Mercenaries ever since then.

Specialty:
Psychic + Elemental Attacks (Close and Long Range)

Level:
1
Experience:
0/10

Powers:

• Default Moves: In addition to some of Mewtwo's passive powers, he also possesses a set of four distinct moves like any other Pokémon. With Psychic, Mewtwo is able to telekinetically move objects or people within his mental range in order to deal psychic damage to them. He can also use it make himself float or levitate. With Shadow Ball, Mewtwo can hurl a sphere of ghostly energy as a projectile attack that can even be charged up for extra power. With Disable, Mewtwo can momentarily stun an opponent at close range and prevent them from being able to attack. And with Teleport, Mewtwo can instantaneously move himself and at least one other person between points in space - he must be able to physically see where he is teleporting to.

Strengths:

• Telepathy: Mewtwo can project his thoughts to the minds of those around him within his mental range, or so long as he can physically see them. Being a Pokémon, this is the only method through which he can communicate with humans or other humanoids.
• Steadfast: Mewtwo's Ability. Slightly increases speed every time an attack makes Mewtwo flinch.
• Psychic Type: Like any Pokémon of this type, Mewtwo resists other Psychic attacks, as well as Fighting Type attacks from other Pokémon. They deal around half damage to him. Mewtwo's Psychic type attacks will also benefit from Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) and thus will deal 1.5x damage against opponents.

Weaknesses:

• Glass Cannon: Mewtwo's defensive stats aren't exactly super impressive. His power obviously lies in his ability to deal damage rather than to take it.
• Poké Balls: As powerful and intelligent as he is, at the end of the day Mewtwo is still technically just a Wild Pokémon. Meaning any prospective Pokémon Trainer could theoretically just throw Balls at Mewtwo in an attempt to capture him.
• Psychic Type: Like any other Psychic type Pokémon he is weak against Dark, Ghost, and Bug type attacks - resulting in x2 damage from them.

Spirits:

• None

Guest List:

• Mew

Mewtwo was "born" in a secret laboratory located on the remote Island of Cinnabar. Mewtwo was genetically engineered to be a clone of the Pokémon known as Mew. The project was headed by Scientist and Gym Leader Blaine, but was also secretly funded by Giovanni of Team Rocket. With his influence, Giovanni was able to ensure that Mewtwo would be born with even greater power than Mew, desiring only to claim ownership of the world's most powerful Pokémon. But Mewtwo had greater intelligence than initially designed, going berserk when he began to question his own purpose and existence. He destroyed the lab, leaving virtually no survivors. Then, as he stood in the wreckage, Mewtwo was approached by Giovanni.

Giovanni offered to give Mewtwo a purpose. And while the Pokémon was tempted at first, a quick read of the man's mind told Mewtwo that he was not to be trusted. And so the Pokémon used his own powers to fly away, where he then proceeded to live in solitude in a secret cave located in the heart of the Kanto Region. It was some time after this that Mewtwo was whisked away to eventually fight in a few of the original Smash tournaments. He was among those that were obliterated by Galeem's Light.

For a while, Mewtwo remained in Alcamoth where he was made to fight others in tournaments. But Galeem's influence was purged from him when the Seekers of Light managed to defeat the Ender Dragon, just as everyone else living in the region. Mewtwo has been working with the Mercenaries ever since then.

Specialty:
Psychic + Elemental Attacks (Close and Long Range)

Level:
1
Experience:
0/10

Powers:

• Default Moves: In addition to some of Mewtwo's passive powers, he also possesses a set of four distinct moves like any other Pokémon. With Psychic, Mewtwo is able to telekinetically move objects or people within his mental range in order to deal psychic damage to them. He can also use it make himself float or levitate. With Shadow Ball, Mewtwo can hurl a sphere of ghostly energy as a projectile attack that can even be charged up for extra power. With Disable, Mewtwo can momentarily stun an opponent at close range and prevent them from being able to attack. And with Teleport, Mewtwo can instantaneously move himself and at least one other person between points in space - he must be able to physically see where he is teleporting to.

Strengths:

• Telepathy: Mewtwo can project his thoughts to the minds of those around him within his mental range, or so long as he can physically see them. Being a Pokémon, this is the only method through which he can communicate with humans or other humanoids.
• Steadfast: Mewtwo's Ability. Slightly increases speed every time an attack makes Mewtwo flinch.
• Psychic Type: Like any Pokémon of this type, Mewtwo resists other Psychic attacks, as well as Fighting Type attacks from other Pokémon. They deal around half damage to him. Mewtwo's Psychic type attacks will also benefit from Same Type Attack Bonus (STAB) and thus will deal 1.5x damage against opponents.

Weaknesses:

• Glass Cannon: Mewtwo's defensive stats aren't exactly super impressive. His power obviously lies in his ability to deal damage rather than to take it.
• Poké Balls: As powerful and intelligent as he is, at the end of the day Mewtwo is still technically just a Wild Pokémon. Meaning any prospective Pokémon Trainer could theoretically just throw Balls at Mewtwo in an attempt to capture him.
• Psychic Type: Like any other Psychic type Pokémon he is weak against Dark, Ghost, and Bug type attacks - resulting in x2 damage from them.

Spirits:

• None

@Double

That sheet's pretty much golden. One other aspect I can think of to go along with the 'Pokeballs' weakness is that since he's a legendary pokemon, he's a rare catch and would probably get more attention from trainers than usual. That doesn't need particular mention however. So the application is acceptable as-is.

[Dark Cloud]

Done and gone.

Hello! I'm back! Is my character still in the rp?

[Dark Cloud]

Now the sheets done.

[Lugubrious]

@Lugubrious here's my next character per your review boss.

Comic Sans

Game Origin: Undertale

---

"it's a beautiful day outside..."

- Sans

---

Personality: Sans is lazy, prone to sleeping on the job and taking frequent breaks. This laziness is a combination of fatalism and apathy, due to the knowledge that the world could simply reset. Conversely, he often suggested that the knowledge could be "a poor excuse for being lazy." Although Sans couldn't be motivated to get a single thing done, he finds ways to get the work done by someone else like the fallen child.

He enjoys being mischievous, primarily towards those he's on good terms with like his brother Papyrus. San's antics range from an assortment of illogical, juvenile and slightly inconvenient pranks. His list of tomfoolery vary from using whoopee cushions to eye paint on telescopes, but Sans isn't above utilizing his magic for practical jokes either. But the self-proclaimed 'comic' is quite fond of making the occasional low-brow pun, but he seems to enjoy making others laugh.

Sans is almost apathetic about his own life at times, however he has shown to be considerate to those he cares for like his brother and the other monsters who frequented Grilby's all of which seem to admire the skeleton in a way or at least regard him in a positive light. Despite being friendly with the other monsters of the underground Sans hates making promises, due to the fact that even if he kept a promise it wouldn't matter at the end of the day.

Although the skeleton will play the part of an easygoing slacker, Sans is fairly observant and can easily read a persons expression. Most times he is an agreeable fellow, yet he can become eerily serious to emphasise a subject when least expected.

Background: Nobody in Snowdin can really recall when exactly the two skeletons took up residence in their cozy little town, some say they simply showed up one day and asserted themselves in the area but the story goes the skeletal siblings made themselves quite a kerfuffle at least the taller of the pair did.

Meanwhile his brother tried his best to make friends with the people of Snowdin, Sans simply spent most his days frequenting Grilby's much to his eccentric brothers chagrin. As far as he was concerned, Sans didn't take his sentry duties seriously though Papyrus was unaware that his brother had begrudgingly made a promise to someone.

Despite wanting the best for his brother he had no interest in capturing any human, were it up to him he'd have simply killed any unlucky enough to pass by but he made a promise not to. So he watched and judged the fallen child, passively of course.

Specialty: Glass Cannon
Level: 1
Experience: 0/10 EXP

Powers:

• Teleportation Magic: Due to the somewhat spacial or gravitational nature of Sans' magic, he is able to use teleportation magic on himself, his opponents and his attacks to a certain degree. He normally uses this as a "shortcut" to certain locations he visits but in battle he uses this power to dodge enemy attacks, making him incredibly hard to hit as well as making it difficult for an enemy to avoid his attacks. He can't teleport anywhere unless he is familiar with the destination or has a line of sight with wherever he plans to teleport to.
  ^{(Starting Power) Power Level: 1}

Strengths:

• Karmic Retribution [KR]: Sans' attacks have an affect on enemies who have done things that are considered evil, such as mercilessly killing innocent people or causing malicious harm to others, etc. When damaged an enemy will be affected by [KR] like they would if they were being effected by poisoning, each time their hit it accumulates if not healed right away.
• Enhanced Speed: When bothered to, Sans is capable of moving at speeds fast enough to outpace the fastest vehicles. Moving at such speeds isn't as harmful to him as it would a regular person, although he doesn't use his enhanced speed to run instead to dodge incoming attacks along with his teleportation magic. Because of this at times his movements are almost impercieveable, making it hard to anticipate his actions.
• Awareness: While seemingly ignorant, Sans is in fact incredibly aware of his surroundings and can usually anticipate the actions of those around him. He can usually interpret and predict an enemies attack and react to it, and avoid the attack if there is room to dodge or teleport out of the way even at a dead angle. Sans also can read a persons expressions pretty well too.

Weaknesses:

[+]

• Lazybones: Despite his extraordinary capabilities, Sans can't be bothered to use them in most situations unless absolutely necessary. He doesn't like putting in the effort and has even fallen asleep during battle. Although he does use his abilities to do less extraordinary things like travel without needing to move his legs or commit his usual childish pranks. In a fight if Sans uses his abilities repeatedly he will grow tired and may even fall asleep, though he has been known to dodge attacks in his slumber.
• Weak Stats: While incredibly difficult to beat due to his enhanced speed, difficult to anticipate attacks and skill with teleportation magic, Sans has the lowest strength and defense of any monster in the Underground. Each of his attacks do the least amount of damage, though [KR] and the speed of his attacks remedy this. And one good hit can put him in relative danger, as he isn't as robust as others which is why he uses his abilities to avoid being hit.

Spirits:

• N/A

Inventory: A blue parka, white shirt, black gym shorts, and a pair of slippers.

@Dark Cloud

I have a couple notes on this. The first is that you need to have your first character at level three before you bring in a second. The second is that I'd like you to demonstrate posting consistently and accurately for a while with one character before taking on two. The third, ignoring the first two, is that Sans is a difficult character to play in this manner. Between teleportation and superspeed it's almost impossible to actually fight him, all but negating his 'low stats' through absurd evasion and insane DPS. He even got strengths included in his weaknesses, like being able to dodge while asleep. The only limiting factor to this is him being lazy, but this is a voluntary act on the part of you the player, so your character is very overpowered unless you decide for him not to be. And if he doesn't do any particular thing, it isn't because he couldn't, but because he chose not to. Would you really just let him let his allies get hurt, or an enemy accomplish an important objective? That's be negligence, callousness, or worse. Would he, a notorious layabout, really depart on a cross-continental journey in the first place? He's a character of extremes dictated by whim and not, in my eyes, suitable as a PC.

Hello! I'm back! Is my character still in the rp?

@Isaac

No. You ghosted us without warning or anything, so I wrote him off. If you want to rejoin, you'll need to start fresh.

[Isaac]

Yeah, that was rude. Sorry, won't do it again.
