[OOC] Character Crossover Crisis City

[Flamelord]

Well, seems a bit more suited for the Goa'uld in general than Ba'al specifically, but it works.

How would this work out exactly? ^^;I know incredibly little about Jojo's. ^^;

This is my basic idea: strip each character of their supernatural/special abilities, and then rework the abilities into a 「Stand」. The finer details can be worked out from there.

That is a stupid idea and I hope we never have to suffer through such an atrocious 'challenge'.

[clanjos]

BAAAAAHAHAHAHA!

...Oh god you're serious.

[VitaVitaAR]

Uh.

While I'm going to try not to be harsh, um...

... This isn't a great idea. I'm not the only person here who doesn't know Jojo's and speaking from experience making it so people lose their normal powers in a crossover RP tends to never work out well.

[Dead Cruiser]

...It's a work in progress.

Just a short challenge for a bit of fun. Perhaps with a goal of "Find the 『Stand Arrow』 in 『Moiroh』."

I hope I wasn't implying that it would be a permanent thing. Just a temporary condition for the challenge. Everyone would still have their powers, anyway, but in a different form.

This could be a neat little thing, here. I'm going to keep working on it.

Also clearly Saber would be Kamelot. >.> <.<

[VitaVitaAR]

I could see adding stands on or something even though I'd have no idea what to do, but I've honestly never seen replacing powers entirely turn out well.

... I mean, um... I've done it myself and it turned out kind of awful every time.

[Raineh Daze]

I don't find it fun to have to explain why a character's suddenly lost an integral part of themselves and to have to use a powerset with which I am utterly unfamiliar. For instance, my familiarity with Jojo's does not extend beyond Dio.

Meh... Too contemporary. Though maybe that doesn't say much anymore, since 「Born This Way」 was introduced recently.

I see that was the impression I gave. See above.

[VitaVitaAR]

Maybe they get a stand, and the conditions of the challenge basically say "You need to use this to win"? They're free to supplement it with other abilities, but it's not their only power.

It makes it a lot less rough on people who have characters who rely on their powers to exist or have no real knowledge of Jojo's.

I mean I honestly have no clue how either of my characters would have their powers work as a Stand even.

As I said, the idea was that they have their powers reworked into a Stand. They don't really lose any abilities, they just have to use them via Punchghost.

Kamelot formed in '91 and released their first album in '95 actually, so not really. XD I mean the first part whose Stands were all entirely named after musical references has one named Pearl Jam, after all.

And come on, she's King Arthur. There's no more fitting Stand name for her than that. XD

Ah, I must have looked at the wrong thing. The date I saw said 2012. But yeah, that makes sense. Technically the first "band name" stand was Cream, but the trend took off in Part 4, you're right. Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Foo Fighters, etc.

[Flamelord]

I feel like the only detriment to Ba'al would be the possibility of dying easier without Goa'uld natural healing abilities, and the loss of superhuman strength type powers

[Raineh Daze]

Well, Archer and Suwako's existence both fall into the 'this does not make sense' category if stripped of supernatural stuff.

[VitaVitaAR]

I guess I just have no idea how to work this for either of my characters at all um...

[Psyga315]

Fool fits Nobuo just fine Though if we're looking for inner meanings, "the Moon Arcana is associated with creativity, inspiration, dreams, madness, illusions, fear, fantasy, the subconscious and trickery." A good chunk of that fits Nobuo's theme of being a Delusionary Ranger.

Though figuring out a Stand for him... Hm... [Cyclone Effect]?

As for the powers, how about instead of losing our powers but gaining the Stand Powers, we gain the Stand Powers onto of the powers we already have and keep them after the challenge ends. It keeps some continuity to things.

[VitaVitaAR]

Um, don't like the idea of that kind of thing sticking beyond a single challenge either, um...

... Also, um, I'm.... not so sure looking at the Arcana that Emperor or Justice fit Saber or Nonon. ^^;

Sounds Crazy Diamond-esque.

「Prince of the Universe」
Power: A
Speed: C
Durability: A
Precision: B
Learning: B

Physically powerful and capable of accelerated regeneration, Prince of the Universe uses electrical bolts to stun or wound enemies, or can take control of their bodies by overloading the bioelectricity of their nervous system.

It's only powers that would be "stripped." Archer's summoning magic, or Saber's invisible-sword-power deal, and that sort of thing.

Saber is a little tricky, mostly because I don't know what she does normally. Nonon is super easy, though: a long-range Stand with sonic attack. I've dropped the Arcana idea, incidentally.

Psyga315 said Though figuring out a Stand for him... Hm... [Cyclone Effect]?

Maybe something a little more in the vein of classic rock or pop. Just to fit the thematics.
