[OOC] From Realms Beyond — An Isekai Crossover RP (Now Accepting)

[supertinyking]

I'm torn between three ideas, so I'll leave it up to yall which one I bother to flesh out.

The Dark Priest: A priest from a horrid and brutal world, this practitioner of the mystic arts was struck down, and now finds himself in a new place.

The Faded Legend: A legendary soldier and tactician, this man has been molded into the sinulacrum of the world's greatest warrior, and now acts as him. You are me, and I am you....we're two halves of the same whole.

The Forsaken Brother: A villain in his world, this being was once a happy constructor, cold and logical, along side his brother who was bright and loving. His coldness however led to his brother exiling him, trapping him away as he watched his brother drag in beings across the universe who destroyed their own worlds, and who then brought devestation to their world. The Forsaken Brother watched his world be ravaged, and when his brother was slain, made preperations to destroy those who had defiled his world, and despite all they had done, avenge his brother's murder. However, those who murdered his brother came, and destroyed him as well...but as he faded, a mystical event pulled him into a new world, one now open for him to bring order to.

@supertinyking: This isn't an RP for OCs, it's for canon characters from existing media.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

Well, said it so I didn't have to. Anyways, proper form evaluations.

@Crimson Flame: Please condense the power section on Danny as requested prior. Also, I still need an answer on what the thermos might do in those edge cases (and I assume it doesn't need any power source? If it does, we might have a problem).

@EchoWolff: Hm... Fair enough. Joker fine. Accepted.

@Lugubrious: Lewa fine. Accepted.

To the two of you: move forms to Characters tab whenever.

So I suppose it's about time I threw my own form on the pile, then.

Kochiya Sanae

• Name: Kochiya Sanae
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: "Oh, good evening."
  Standing at just about 160cm, what makes Sanae stand out the most is her long, vibrantly green hair. Coupled with her usual outfit being one that emphasizes her role as a shrine maiden, though, and she sticks out like a sore thumb. Beyond that, though, her features and build are fairly in-line with one might expect from a Japanese high school or early college student.
• Personality: Sanae is rather earnest as a person, and is more than ready to put her everything into whatever task she sets her mind to. Though initially overconfident when she first arrived in Gensokyo (possibly bordering on arrogance), a swift humbling on the part of the Hakurei miko has since brought her down to earth and reminded her of the fact that she is no more special than any other person, human or otherwise, than those around her. Being compared to the two major regular incident resolvers in Gensokyo (Reimu and Marisa), however, has left her with a burning desire to prove herself. She isn't the type to hold grudges, though, and more often than not is more curious and upbeat about the new and exciting.
  That being said, Sanae is a bit of a ditz at times. Though she carries with her the upbringing and schooling of a student who was brought up in modern-day Japan (and all of the knowledge that brought with it), book smarts did not necessarily translate into street smarts. The issue was only further exacerbated after moving to Gensokyo, but nowhere near the point of abandoning logic outright.
• Brief History: Born in Suwa in Nagano Prefecture, Sanae grew up more or less as a normal human might have—and might have continued to do so, had the deities Yasaka Kanako and Moriya Suwako not chosen to leave the "Outside World" for Gensokyo. A distant descendant of the latter, Sanae's abnormal penchant towards her supernatural powers gave her reason to follow the two gods over and function as a shrine maiden (or, rather, as a wind priestess, but even she describes the two roles as functionally the same).
  After arriving to Gensokyo, Sanae declared the Moriya Shrine's intent to take over as the local religious power, but was promptly defeated by the Hakurei shrine maiden. Relations between the shrines have since smoothed over, and Sanae has since become a regular resolver of incidents. She has, for the most part, adjusted to life in Gensokyo well enough, but whether that will hold after she has been dragged to yet another world of fantasy remains to be seen.
• Universe of Origin: Touhou Project
• Equipment: Sanae carries upon her a gohei that she uses to both channel the abilities of her patron deities and beat people over the head with. Other than that, she makes liberal usage of ofuda (paper sealing tags) as both offensive and defensive projectiles.
• Abilities:
  
  • Flight: Like almost every major resident of Gensokyo can, Sanae has the ability to fly for extended periods of time.
  • Danmaku: The standard method of combat resolution in Gensokyo, Sanae is able to fire massive amounts of nonlethal projectiles at once, to the point where they might be able to flood a battlefield. Despite their inability to kill, though, they still hurt like nothing else.
  • Divine Invocation: Sanae has the ability to channel the powers of both Kanako and Suwako, and is able to make limited use of their own abilities in the process. In practice, this means that she is able to summon frogs and snakes to attack for her, as well as to create fleeting gusts of wind, pressurized burst of water, clusters of stone, or rings of steel for whatever purposes she might need them for. Though the animals can be used at-will, the elemental abilities are more closely affiliated with the deities in question and thus are contingent upon her having a strong enough connection and enough energy to do so with to begin with.
  • Creation of Miracles: Though rather grandiose by name alone, the "miracles" in question often refer to events that would otherwise have a low likelihood of occurring. Small events can be invoked on a whim, but larger ones (for example, those pertaining to changing the weather for extended periods of time) require long periods of preparation (upwards of a few days in the largest cases).
• Other: Sanae is a bit of a geek, though the topics she is really aware of are limited past the mid-2000s (in other words, when she moved to Gensokyo). Anything beyond that would be derived from whatever goods might have made their way to Kourindou since, which is itself not a particularly wide array of works to begin with.
  She also has a very low tolerance for alcohol, which is a bit of a problem in Gensokyo where drinking is a frequent pastime.

[Crimson Flame]

I’ll fix the CS tomorrow. But I might just ditch the thermos.

[RolePlayerRoxas]

I should probably note my interest here, too. I guess I'm leaning towards Roxas, but I'll have to see if there's anyone else I'd like to play.

[supertinyking]

@supertinyking: This isn't an RP for OCs, it's for canon characters from existing media.

@VitaVitaAR

Oh, I know. Each of those is for a cannon character.

1st is Enki from Fear and Hunger

2nd is Venom Snake from MGS:5

3rd is Mithrix from Risk of Rain 2

[Crimson Flame]

Well, said it so I didn't have to. Anyways, proper form evaluations.

@Crimson Flame: Please condense the power section on Danny as requested prior. Also, I still need an answer on what the thermos might do in those edge cases (and I assume it doesn't need any power source? If it does, we might have a problem).

@PKMNB0Y

Ditched the thermos, and fixed everything else.

[VitaVitaAR]

@supertinyking: Oh, sorry, since you didn't note character names and I didn't know them off the top of my head I didn't know. ^^;

In that case, a really quick look over each makes me a little concerned about Mithrix since he's described as having godlike powers, but then again godlike powers is a bit hard to quantify across settings.

Incidentally, I'll probably have my own character up soon. It took a little bit to decide.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Crimson Flame: If you could, please compress the powers section a bit more. It's still... Really long. Having two thirds of the form be just powers doesn't help, and the formatting is also a bit rough.
For example, you could summarize the effects of his ghost form's "physical" effects in one subsection, while having another for what he can do with ecto-energy with another, and so on. Makes it easier in the future if Vita or I need to reference things in the future.
Am I also correct in assuming that Danny is taken from the end of his series' run on TV?

@supertinyking: I think if I had to pick one, it'd probably be Venom Snake, but my question on that front is how he'd handle being in a world without modern firearms. I can probably work out how to make things... Well, work? But adapting to the world is something to question here.
(I also forget if Venom Snake has the same penchant for survival as Big Boss, which is relevant in this setup, but still.)

Danny has a lot of powers. Crying emoji

Will do!

Also yes. Although tbh. I haven’t actually seen the third season, I just read summaries about it. One day I’ll get to it.

[Raineh Daze]

also what does venom-snake-pretending-to-be-big-boss bring that... big boss doesn't?

[Crimson Flame]

Aaaand done

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Crimson Flame: I, uh...
That's not quite what I meant. I guess, as a point of reference, look at how the other forms that have been submitted and accepted have structured their powers/abilities section and use them as a basis. I wasn't looking for a list of pure bullet points so much as I was a few sentences or paragraphs detailing what it is the character can do in a nicely written and formatted way.

I mean, I still understand the powerset, but now the description is too sparse (as opposed to too specific).

[Drifting Pollen]

Space knight

• Name: Anne Mayer
• Gender: Female
• Appearance:
  
  "Let me move today, even if I die tomorrow."

  
  
  Anne has gone through a variety of different outfits, physiques, and even prosthetic limbs over her years as a Knight. Only two aspects remain ever unchanging: her long, straight brown hair and distinctive green irises. Her manifestation in this new world most closely reflects her appearance during the Third Battle of Arin: a slim figure, eyeglasses, and a long black coat.
• Personality: A jaded veteran with a kind heart. Years of harsh experience have left her with a cynical worldview, a paranoid outlook, and mountains of guilt and self-loathing. In the thick of war and politics she becomes grim, snarky, and quick to complain, but in a peaceful setting she'll quickly show her warm side. Though often clumsy and awkward in more casual situations, her deep-rooted ideals and sincere love for the people around her end up shining through.
  When she's put under pressure, this same love for humanity can extend to a point of obsessiveness and self-destruction. She sees lives as her responsibility, their protection a necessity, and is ultimately willing to sacrifice both herself and those around her to save the innocent masses. Haunted by her past failures and sins in the name of the greater good, she makes repeated attempts to stay out of front-line conflicts, but finds herself drawn again and again into high-stakes situations where bloodshed and loss become inevitable.
• Brief History: A Knight from the Cosmic Century, a far-future era in which the human race is embroiled in a war with the alien Beasts. Anne was one of two orphans taken in by a member of the Knight Order, and trained in martial arts and swordsmanship from a very young age before applying as a recruit for the Order in her late teens. After she and her adoptive sister graduated to full knighthood in record time, Anne would go on to distinguish herself again and again in some of the most ferocious battlefields of the age, and helped save humanity no less than three times by personally cutting down key leaders on the opposing side. Early on she carried the reputation of a legendary hero, but as the politics surrounding her exploits became gradually murkier, she would first fall into obscurity and later be branded a war criminal for her actions.
  In between stints battling for the fate of the galaxy, Anne spent years cultivating an extensive web of political connections, and formed her own organization dedicated to anti-Beast research and engineering. She also trained several disciples, some of whom would go on to become illustrious Knights in their own right.
• Universe of Origin: Knight Run
• Equipment:
  
  • DC Coat: The uniforms worn by Knights project defensive barrier fields around them, shielding their users from enemy attacks and environmental hazards. It's even possible for the wearer to fight unimpeded in the vacuum of space.
  • AB Sword x2: The Anti-Barrier swords used by Knights are extremely durable, and possess the innate ability to negate enemy shields and barriers. There are only a thousand or so of these weapons in existence, and Anne is one of a rare few individuals granted permission to wield two at once.
• Abilities:
  
  • Master Knight: Anne's abnormal genetic makeup has been supplemented by a lifetime of training and battlefield experience, pushing her physical limits well beyond normal human bounds. She's actually quite frail by Knight standards, but that still makes her strong and fast enough to surpass enhanced cyborg supersoldiers and massive powered armor suits. On the flipside, she's accumulated tremendous injuries over time, and using her full strength for more than a few minutes at a time can result in a painful and crippling backlash.
  • Pray Style: As a swordswoman, Anne is one of the most skilled Knights in the entire galaxy. She makes use of an extremely aggressive martial arts form built to push the body past its limits and completely overwhelm the opponent, developed under the tutelage of her adoptive sister Pray and six of the age's most renowned fighters. Anne's mastery of Pray Style has allowed her to hold her own against enemies many times stronger, faster, and more numerous than herself, even while heavily injured and without her usual equipment. Executed correctly, her techniques can both mitigate and inflict damage beyond what should be logically possible under the circumstances.
  • Wave Techniques: Many Pray Style techniques make use of Waves, concentrated bursts of Ki capable of propagating outside of the body. Waves can not only inflict devastating physical harm on contact, but can be used to break through or cleave apart the manifestations of supernatural abilities, including other Waves. As a preeminent Wave user, Anne can imbue them into her weapons and strikes, enhance her physical abilities with Waves, reduce damage to her body, or even launch Waves directly as long-ranged energy attacks.
• Other: She's in her early thirties and feels bad about it. Due to her prior injuries, she sometimes gets random nosebleeds or just throws up on people. Her left hand is entirely cybernetic, and most of her body has been replaced or upgraded at some point or another.

[VitaVitaAR]

• Name: Lily
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: A young child with pale skin and mostly-white hair. However, there are some dark streaks in her hair, now.
• Personality: While she is physically frail, Lily possesses a strong spirit. She has a powerful willingness to help others, even at the expense of herself. Kind and willing to try and see the good of even a terrible situation, it's this mentality that helped her navigate the decayed and blighted kingdom of Land's End. Indeed, having seen no small share of horrors in spite of her thus far short existence, she's rather difficult to frighten. However, she can be a bit nervous in social situations, having had low contact amounts of contact with people outside of her spirits. Still, she'll try her best to interact with people. While monsters are unlikely to scare her, sudden loud noises can still make her jump or remind her of particularly unpleasant experiences, so she doesn't handle people with are prone to such behavior the best(even if she tries not to be angry with them). Still, Lily is the type of person who, in spite of her lack of social experience, will try to see the good in others if she has the opportunity and attempt to make friends.
  
  At the same time, her experiences have also given her a somewhat harder edge: There's little hesitation in regards to having to fight. She may be a child, but facing the horrors of the Blight head on have given her the resolve to do what she must, even if she is likely to shy away from the sight of one of her summoned spirits slaying an enemy. She also possesses a curious streak, often investigating anything that seems to stand out as slightly unusual or unexpected and trying to understand it or see what it could be hiding. Given her numerous experiences with secrets and hidden doors, this is really no surprise. Recently, she has grown a little more frustrated with her own inability to speak, but the Umbral Knight's willingness to assist her mitigates this somewhat.
  
  She is grateful towards all of her summonable spirits, and dislikes seeming them harmed even though such harm isn't lasting. And indeed, she is still a child of perhaps 9 or 10 at most, and is thus naive of many things outside of her experience. She can also be a little too trusting in some ways, having had little experience with anyone in control of their faculties who would deceive her.
• Brief History:
  Ender Lilies Spoilers

  Lily awakened without a name in the ruins of the Kingdom of Land's End, at the words of the spirit of a Knight bound to her. It was here that she learned that she was the last of the White Priestesses, those who could purge the horrific, mutating, corruptive magical disease known as the Blight and allow those suffering from it to rest. In spite of her young age and frail body, the young priestess set out with the objective of purging the Blight, even if she had no idea how to complete such a massive and perilous undertaking. Upon finding the body of one of the other White Priestesses and learning her name, Lily, she took it as her own in order to remember her fellow priestess. As she made her way through the ruins of Land's End, defended by the Umbral Knight, she purified as many people as she could. Those who were powerful even in their blighted state were thankful for being freed from their condition, and bound themselves to her as spirits to help her. However, with each purification, her body began to be corrupted. The pain physical corruption grew steadily with each purification, until she resembled someone inflicted with the Bight herself. Additionally, she also learned of the truth of her existence, that she was a clone of the prior White Priestess Fretia and the other young priestesses were the same. In spite of this, she still carried on with her quest, and through her exploration discovered and repaired a magnificent and miraculous artifact that would shoulder nearly all of the burden of purging the Blight from its victims. Her body purged almost entirely of the Blight, she was able to purify the previous White Priestess and current Blight Lord Fretia, ending the Blight forever.
• Universe of Origin: Ender Lilies
• Equipment: Lily carries little on her person, save for a number of small jewels and rings that assist her in small ways(such as strengthening her barrier or making it less tiring to repair it herself). Chief among these is the Luminant Aegis Curio, a blue and silver amulet hanging from Lily's neck that is responsible for her near totally pure state, in spite of how many people she purified herself.
• Abilities: Lily is a fragile little girl who possesses no personal offensive abilities of her own. Her only personal defense is a magical barrier, that can be broken and completely shattered with sufficient impact. She can restore it, but it is somewhat draining to do so and thus she can only do so a handful of times without rest. Additionally, she can also harden it and make it more sturdy, allowing her to deflect attacks and open enemies up for attack. Without her barrier, she has very little ability to endure harm and a single strike is likely to take her out.
  
  Lily's main offensive ability is summoning spirits, who also grant her some other abilities such as a speedy evasion or some measure of hovering capability. Most prominent among these spirits is the Umbral Knight, an armor-clad figure wielding a sword. The Umbral Knight speaks with an androgynous, but somewhat feminine voice, and beneath the helmet is an equally androgynous face with short, dark hair. Pretty, but displaying clear signs of being extremely worn down. Still, the Umbral Knight gladly defends and assists Lily, not only in battle but also in helping her interact with others as she is unable to speak. Among her spirits are a raven that attacks with orbs of magical energy, a hammer-wielding winged nun, a black-dressed witch with numerous mystical attacks, a hulking warrior with a mace and horned helm, a strange blobby creature, and many others. Each of them listens to her commands on how to attack and where to appear, but can also manifest on their own with limited independence in order to assist her even without her command. They can be harmed, but as soon as they disappear and are resummoned once more all damage is repaired. All of the spirits with recognizable human appearances possess grey skin and crimson eyes. These spirits are swift and powerful, far stronger and faster then a human, but may only operate within a short range of Lily herself.
  
  Finally, Lily's most important ability is to purify the Blight. While this may have little meaning now that the Blight is gone and this world is not her own, it also extends to purging curses and other malignant magical effects or other afflictions of a similar nature. With the possession of the Luminant Aegis Curio, doing so does not affect her at all.
• Other: Lily is entirely mute, but the Umbral Knight assists by conveying her intentions to others most of the time.

Hoopefully I don't have to go into depth about each of her summons, there's a lot but none of them do anything that should be too overboard for the RP.

[DracoLunaris]

knight witch

• Name: Rayne
• Gender: Female
• Appearance: Rayne is a halfling, with (pierced) pointy ears and a rather short stature.
• Personality: Rayne is a kindhearted soul, brave if not daring, determined and honest even when it is to her own detriment. Despite having had some self confidence issues, she is no pushover, and will stand up for what she thinks is right even if the whole world is against her. She is notably very much against the idea of killing people, even if they are her enemies.
• Brief History: Rayne comes from a world devastated by the byproducts of magitech, and while the regime responsible for that devastation has been overthrown, it was too late for the surface world. The sky was shattered, bathing the land in deadly radiation and the last living souls in the world had to hide away in a series of underground caverns known as Dungeonidas. Rayne herself was at one time member of the Knight Witches, a 5 women group that overthrew that regime, but was ejected from the group before battle for the fate of the world took place due to branding reasons (her name and that of the leader Robyn were considered too similar).
  
  Despite this ejection (for, unbeknownst to her, very stupid reasons) Rayne still held the power of the link, the power to gain magical strength merely from having people put their faith in her. Thus, when the remnants of the regime's golem armies invaded Dungeonidas, and with the other Knight Witches nowhere to be found for unknown reasons, Rayne was the only one able to stand up against them.
  
  After a series of conflicts, twists, turns, and conspiratorial backstabs she eventually discovered that the new society had simply traded one world destroying magitech powersource for another, hexoil, power stolen form the circle of life itself, one that began to slowly rend reality asunder as the war for Dungeonidas reached its peak. She delved into the cracks in reality, defeated the avatar of this new apocalypse, the fallen knight witch Robyn, and was poised to become the avatar of life itself, Gaia, charged with restoring life to her ruined world.
  
  Then, instead, she found herself here, in this new one.
• Universe of Origin: The Knight Witch
• Equipment:
  
  
  
  • Armor: Rayne’s armor is somewhat fashion over form, but the solid plate covering her chest, shoulders and hips still provides a fair bit of protection
  • Runedge: An enchanted blade made to be far heavier than its form suggests
• Abilities:
  
  
  
  • Flight: Ryne can effortlessly hover through the air, though her jogging pace speed leaves much to be desired.
  • Dashing: Rayne can perform a straight line dash, teleporting a fixed 3 meters in any direction, which renders her immune to damage while doing it (but unable to take any other actions at the same time). There is only a short half second cooldown between dashes, making it quite useful for mobility as well as dodging.
  • Weapon Summoning: Rayne can store weapons in her magic, and then pull them out in the blink of an eye to attack, before returning them to storage at the end of her stroke.
  • Magic Bullets: Rayne can fire large magic bullets from a hovering glyph at a slow but steady pace, and for little to no effort. They have a fairly limited range however, and simply dissipate when they exceed it.
  • Spell Cards: Rayne can also use mana, which is dropped from enemies she damages (and which then hovers where it falls in the form of football sized glowing blue orbs that she has to get close too to pick up) to cast larger spells. Her max mana pool is pretty limited (and she can only briefly hold over her maximum of 8), but she has incredible versatility in the spells she can cast. The only issue is that it is based on a deck and card draw system, with 10 cards in a deck, and 3 in hand, rather limiting her ability to effectively wield that versatility. (Rather than try and simulate this however, let’s say that once Rayne has cast a spell, she then has to cast a few other, different, spells before she can cast that same spell again). Note that these spells occur around her rather than being fired in a direction.

@VitaVitaAR

btw, if you want this to work it needs to be static.wikia.nocookie.net/enderlilies… instead of static.wikia.nocookie.net/enderlilies…

The /revision bit makes it load a local version of the image or something, so it won't work for other people

[VitaVitaAR]

I've fixed it already.

[FujiwaraPhoenix]

@Drifting Pollen: Anne fine. Accepted.

@VitaVitaAR: Lily fine. Accepted.

@DracoLunaris: Few things.

• I'm going to be honest, I'm not going to be super nitpicky as to exact mana costs for skills and abilities. Going to be very hands-off on people doing stuff under the assumption that I can trust that they're not pulling some insanity by dumping all of the everything out at once. To that end, costs don't really need to exist in this context (beyond any translation of mechanics like you suggested for the card system). That being said...
• Mana exists within the world as its own... Thing. Would that mana and the mana that the character uses fall under the same umbrella and, if so, what effects does that have in turn?
• Dashing as you have it is a very literal translation of game mechanics to prose, which I don't think would allow for anything like "abusable iframes" in this context. Could do well enough to remove it or rephrase it to be more of a general movement option.

Yeah those numbers are more there for comparing to each other effort/power wise (Death Spiral is a big expenditure, projectile destruction explosion not so much) (and now that i write that I might have to get the rest of the actual names so i never have to write 'projectile destruction explosion' ever again), rather than for doing exact math which would be a pain in the butt

Mana exists within the world as its own... Thing. Would that mana and the mana that the character uses fall under the same umbrella and, if so, what effects does that have in turn?

Hmmm, good question. Either we make it it's own thing that only she can see/interact with ooooor, and I think this could lead to some more fun situations, it is very much floating globs of mana that anyone, friend or foe, can absorb if they have the capacity for it. But only if they have spent mana somehow, to prevent non magical foes from just reabsorbing it. Naturally this means that she would be very bad at wizard duels, because if she hits them with her bullets they are going to be able to steal the mana it produces. If we do that then she can also gain mana from other sources, potions or what have you, but either does not gain passive mana, or does so very slowly compared to the locals.

Dashing as you have it is a very literal translation of game mechanics to prose, which I don't think would allow for anything like "abusable iframes" in this context. Could do well enough to remove it or rephrase it to be more of a general movement option.>/list>

To clarify, 'dash' is a short range blink teleport rather than an iframe filled combat roll or something of the sort (traversal wise it gets used to bypass barriers/walls for more context).

If I where to rephrase it to something like: "Blink Dash: Rayne can perform a straight line teleport, warping a fixed 3 meters in any direction in the blink of an eye, with the path she takes being outlined by a visible woosh of magic and a bright flash on arrival. There is only a short half second cooldown between dashes, making it quite useful for mobility as well as dodging" would that work?

this is what it looks like in game if that helps

if that is too much we can nerf it into a dash rather than a teleport tho, which will lead to either a panicked moment where she gets hit whens he thought she wouldn't, or a funny one where she rams face first into a wall ... ok i'm honestly kinda sold on that now lol
