[CHAR] Back on the Rails - A Multiverse RP

[Tachi]

Name: Rachel Kay
Age: 24
Appearance: Similar to this, except she generally wears jeans and an Iron Maiden or Kamen Rider-based T-shirt rather than a tracksuit. She's roughly 5'6" tall.
Powers/Equipment: Rachel acquires a modified Pokegear and a small case containing a set of cards bearing images of assorted Pokemon. By scanning one of the cards in the slot on the bottom of the Pokegear, she is able to change into one of the following forms:

• Farfetch'd: Rachel gains the Wild Duck Pokemon's leek-based combat skills, as well as the razor sharp vegetable required to use them. While she isn't capable of flying, she can jump far higher than should be humanly possible and is capable of gliding short distances. In addition, due to the Keen Eye ability, her eyesight is enhanced in this form, enabling her to pick up on smaller details and spot things from long distances. Her outfit in this form is basically this, albeit with a leek instead of a sword.
• Litwick: With the Candle Pokemon's power, Rachel becomes immune to fire-based attacks, which just cause the flame on her head to increase in size and power up her own fire attacks, in addition she is able to conjure blasts of fire of varying intensities, as well as beams, balls and rings of dark energy, she also gains the ability to shrink herself down, becoming harder to hit. In this form, Rachel wears a white dress, which hangs past her ankles, her hair hangs in front of her face, covering one eye and a purple flame burns on top of her head.
• Sylveon: The Intertwining Pokemon's Pixilate ability infuses Rachel's attacks with, for lack of a better term, fairy magic, boosting the strength of those not already based around this power. In this form, Rachel gains the power to channel the power of the moon to create a destructive beam, conjure star-shaped projectiles that home in on their target, release a flash of light to blind opponents for a short time and focus all of her strength into a single physical strike, which causes insane amounts of damage if it connects, but leaves her completely exhausted afterwards, making it a last resort. This form's appearance changes are...a bit more severe than the others.
• Cosplay Pikachu: Using the Mouse Pokemon's card, Rachel gains the power to manipulate electricity in a variety of ways, while becoming immune to it herself. In addition, depending on what "costume" she's wearing, she gains the ability to make her fists harder than steel, summon icicles to rain down, create an electrical current in the surrounding area to power up electrical attacks, drain energy by kissing or perform wrestling moves. In this form, Rachel gains Pikachu's ears and tail, as well as a costume similar to one of its different forms. The costume can be changed through the use of a card depicting all 5 variations of Cosplay Pikachu.
• Heracross: While using the Single Horn Pokemon's card, Rachel gains improved fighting skills, as well as the ability to fire bullet or needle-like projectiles by punching at the air. This form gives Rachel a suit of armour similar to this.
• Froakie: Rachel gains several ninja-esque abilities while using the Bubble Frog Pokemon's card, allowing her to substitute herself for a decoy or pull smoke bombs from her jacket's pockets. In addition, she can project blasts of water and has her swimming abilities enhanced. While using this form, Rachel's glasses turn into pince-nez and she wears a dark blue skirt and lighter blue jacket with a fluffy collar resembling Froakie's bubbles.

Personality: Rachel is shy around people she doesn't know. However once she feels comfortable around someone, she becomes more cheerful and energetic, if a bit snarky at times. She is a fan of assorted manga and anime, mostly slice of life or action series, as well as assorted tokusatsu series. She also enjoys music, mostly metal (generally more of the heavy or power varieties) and rock, as well as cooking.
Brief Backstory: There isn't really much to say. Rachel has had a boring, ordinary life for the most part. She coasted through school without any real effort, getting decent grades in the process. She spent some time in university, studying to become a teacher, but is currently taking a break to see more of the world.
Other:

[Rin]

• Name: Rin
• Age: Somewhere in her 20's.
• Appearance: Whee.
• Powers/Equipment: A mysterious briefcase containing a strange belt-buckle and six USB drives. It's the Double Driver and a set of Gaia Memories that can be used to transform into (a slightly modified) Kamen Rider Double! But without a partner, it's kind of useless. Hmmm.
• Personality: Hammy, hotblooded, silly and something of a perv, with a notable love of boyish girls and girlish boys. Refuses to act her age most of the time, but when she does it's usually a bad sign. She has a strong sense of justice, and is quick to jump to the defence of anyone she feels has been wronged, but other than that she's kinda lazy. Rin is kind of a nerd, especially towards anime, and especially towards magical girls, super robots and men in spandex fighting rubber monsters. She also enjoys cooking, reading and music, especially heavy metal. Unfortunately, she also suffers from an inferiority complex and tends to put everyone else before herself, and has a habit of apologising far too much when she believes she has done something wrong. Rin is a pretty good cook with a rather wide repertoire, as well as being somewhat skilled in unarmed martial arts (specifically, kung fu and tai chi); she's not exactly a world champion or anything but she can at least hold her own.
• Brief Backstory: There's... Honestly not much to say, really. An average life filled with boredom and nothing particularly interesting. Partially because of this, Rin has always wanted to get out there and go on some grand, fantastical adventure even though she knows it's not likely to happen. It's not like she's just going to have something like that suddenly thrust on her after all, right?
• Other: The left half of Double; Anno forms the right half.

[VitaVitaAR]

Name: Anno
Age: 21
Appearance: Usually in skirts though and that tiny jacket is really nice. But, um, kind of pale skin, blue eyes, brown hair, tends to wear reds and blues.
Powers/Equipment: Anno has become capable of accessing the Gaia Library, and of using the Cyclone Memory to become the right half of Kamen Rider Double. Naturally this means she has the other Double Driver and the Cyclone Memory.
Personality: Shy and somewhat reclusive, Anno spends most of her time reading or on the computer. While she is a bit more likely to be somewhat open among friends, her nerves get to her easily and she sometimes suffers from anxiety. She does her best to try and work through this, but it can sometimes be rather difficult to do so. She is a fan of action and slice of life works, as well as comedies. She is also a fan of yuri. She likes cute things a great deal and is very, very much against seeing children hurt for any reason. Anno is a massive fan of the Nasuverse, Touhou, and a lot of other things that would take an unnecessarily large amount of space to list. She is rather easy to embarrass and make feel rather awkward, however.
Brief Backstory: Anno's life is mostly uninteresting, she's mostly just a normal girl.
Other: The other half Rin was talking about so yeah. ^^;

[Psyga315]

Name: Nicholas Santos
Age: 21
Appearance: You may call me "Nicholas The Renegade"! Or Grim Reaper... doesn't matter to me.
Powers/Equipment: Nicholas carries with him the Break Gunner, a device that allows him to transform into Mashin Chaser. As Mashin Chaser, Nicholas is able to fight, but due to damage induced by the Shadow Line, its Core Driviar is damaged, disabling the ability to slow down time. To counter this, however, Nicholas also obtained two Shift Cars and three Viral Cores.

• Amazing Circus: Allows Nicholas to fire out props and fireworks from his Break Gunner.
• Deko Traveler: Allows Nicholas to pull off a disorientating background change... though it only seems to disorientate himself.
• Chaser Cobra Viral Core: Gives Nicholas the Tail Whipper, a whip weapon.
• Chaser Spider Viral Core: Gives Nicholas the Fang Spidey, a gauntlet weapon with a pincer at the end.
• Chaser Bat Viral Core: Gives Nicholas the Wing Sniper, a crossbow weapon that can allow Nicholas to fly if put on his back.

Personality: Nicholas can get cocky. Especially when he has power in his hands. He is also easily excitable, though that excitability can make him incredibly obnoxious. In the face of grimness, he tends to crack jokes, though he's also prone to worrying if things are incredibly bad to a point where cracking jokes would only get people to give dirty looks at you. "There's a time and a place for jokes." he puts it.
Brief Backstory: Nicholas was a college graduate ready to go out into the working world. He soon found work at a shop that specializes in automobile repairs. Though his boss was... Well... Bossy, he grew fond of the young man. Day by day, he taught him all there is to know about fixing cars.

[Scarifar]

Hope it's not too late to join.

Name: Alexander Lee

Age: 20

Appearance: Here.

Powers/Equipment: Alexander has a Duel Disk containing an assortment of cards with images and text on them. This collection of cards is called a "Deck". The cards themselves have three classifications: Monster, Spell, and Trap cards.

Monster cards are the ones that can be "summoned", allowing for the creature on that card to manifest, obeying Alexander's every command. Most monsters have fairly average power, but the higher level monsters require "tributes" in order to be summoned, depending on just how high their level is. These cards are either yellow or orange in color.

Spell cards are cards that can display a variety of effects, from healing to damaging to creating meatshields called "tokens". These cards are turquoise in color.

Trap cards can display a variety of effects like Spell Cards can, but these cards must be placed "face-down" and be given a period of time before they can be activated. In addition, some Trap cards must have a prerequisite action before they can be activated. These cards are purple in color.

These cards can be powerful on their own, but certain combinations can prove devastating to an opponent. However, Alexander only has a select few cards to work with at a time. Alexander can only hold up to 6 at a time, or else the Duel Disk will force him to send cards in his hand to the "Graveyard", which is a special compartment in the Duel Disk for cards that have finished serving their purpose. Once cards are there, they are stuck there until a card can bring them back out, or until Alexander finishes a battle and the cards return to the Deck.

Also, Alexander only has a limited number of cards in his deck, and the deck itself is really just a collection of random cards, so creating a combo will be terribly difficult.

Fortunately, if Alexander has monsters summoned, the Duel Disk will create a force field around Alexander, preventing things from hurting Alexander. Generally, if anything tries to hurt Alexander, the force field will block it, and a message shows up saying "Invalid move." However, there have been known to be exceptions, and some attacks can still knock Alexander around, although the force field will still prevent Alexander from getting physically hurt. The force field itself is based on an amount of "Life Points", which make up the energy powering the force field. The default maximum is 4000, and if it is brought to zero, the force field will fail and Alexander will be susceptible to physical injury.

Examples of typical monsters being summoned are like:

Elemental HERO Sparkman: a yellow-and-blue armored man that can shoot lightning out of his hands. Nothing that special, really.

Ancient Gear Soldier: an old rusty humanoid automaton equipped with a submachine gun.

Neo the Magic Swordsman: as the name implies.

Personality: Alexander is very kind and friendly. He won't hesitate to walk up to a person and introduce himself. He is also willing to support his friends at just about any cost, even at the cost of himself if necessary. Alexander believes in the idea of honor, and will uphold that belief to his fullest capabilities.

Brief Backstory: Alexander was an orphan, living in an orphanage until he turned 18. In that time, he taught himself academic subjects like Math and English, as well as learned how to cook. He went through both good times and bad times with his friends, and shared both laughs and tears with them. When Alexander left, he decided to make the most out of his life and do what he liked.

[clanjos]

Name: Richard "Dick" Wrole
Age: 25
Appearance: A blonde man with greenish, tired eyes and a red sweatshirt, he usually wears jeans. He's now got a rotary dial from a phone booth in his pocket.

Powers/Equipment: The H-Dial, a mystical device with the ability to transform its user into a range of strange and incredible heroes. These heroes tend toward the Cape aesthetic, but some of them can be downright strange- IE, Cock-A-Hoop, Boy Chimney, and Daffodil Host. The downside to the dial: Dick doesn't get to choose WHICH hero he turns into, and some of the powers are eccentric. Case in point, Flamewar, who can set things on fire by insulting them, Robby Go-Go, with the power of Super-Disco, or Pelican Army, who is a hivemind composed of thousands of pelicans and a telepathic redcoat soldier.

Personality: Had someone said "Take this magic rotary dial and go beat up evil things," he would have jumped at the call. Granted, he'd probably ask what the hell the person was on, talking about magic rotary dials and interdimensional superheroes, but it's a fair question when dealing with wackos. He's a man of moderate intelligence and has a patchwork knowledge of many subjects, mostly involving biology, computers, and physics, although nothing too specialized. He's torn between how awesome being a superhero is and how weird his various forms are.

Brief Backstory: An American with a love of all things superhero, he's visiting the island to take a break from college. His family's a little rough right now, but hopefully a vacation's just what he needs. Besides, ruins are awesome. And volcanoes, dormant or otherwise, are EXTREMELY awesome.

Other: PELICAN ARMY!

[Card Captor]

While I was reposting this CS, I realized how stupid his name was. Therefor I took steps to fix that.

Name: Jonah Johnson
Age: 19
Appearance:

But with blond hair

Powers/Equipment: Hamon. Hamon is based on using the energy of the sun's rays through breathing and empowering the body with "ripples" (the English translation of Hamon) of solar energy. Despite using the sun, Hamon can be used in the dark. Hamon energy is extremely dangerous to any kind of undead, as it burns them on contact. Hamon can be channeled to other objects to increase their striking power and durability. Because of this, A Hamon user can make anything into a weapon. Strangely enough, liquids tend to conduct Hamon much better then solid objects, allowing a skilled Hamon user to channel Hamon to drastically increase the surface tension of it (thereby allowing them to walk on water, so to speak).

The most powerful of Hamon techniques are refereed to as Overdrives and are often color named for the medium they're used with (Metal Silver being one to transmit through a sword). An object that is impacted with the force of the Overdrive will carry Hamon energy through it. While charged with an Overdrive, a person or object's power and durability increase even further (in comparison to when they have a normal Hamon charge), However, maintaining an Overdrive requires all of the Hamon gathered by the user to be channeled to the object or person in question. This means that when using an Overdrive, the Hamon user is only able to channel Hamon to who or whatever is charged with the Overdrive.

Since it requires breathing to work, should the user's breathing stop or become impaired, the Hamon will weaken or fade

He also has a "So you want to learn Hamon" Book that fell on his head one day right before some strange energy entered him

Personality: Jonah is an easily embarrassed boy. It doesn't take much to make his cheeks red and turn him bashful. This really bugs him, so he does his very best to be 'cool'. Unfortunately, he seems to think that being 'cool' involves making slightly homoerotic poses. Despite all of this, he's really a very sweet boy who hates to see people upset
Brief Backstory: Jonah had a very normal life, painfully normal...sort of. His girly appearance led bullies to pick on him under the pretense that he was gay (he wasn't, but bullies don't need a good reason, or even one that's right, to pick on someone). Sick of getting pushed around, Jonah took up boxing, and was quite good at it...too bad that his boxing training didn't help him grow a spine. So he kept going through life as a punching bag. After all, it's not like so sort of miraculous event would change anything...right?
Other: Theme Song, because after making a character like this, I am required by international law to give him this theme song

[LaXnyd]

Name: Shinji Nikawa
Age: 20
Appearance: I did not draw this
Powers/Equipment:

The Take-copter - a small little helicopter mount which enables a person to fly by putting it on their head.

Aside from the Take-copter, Shinji also carries with him a laptop, a cellphone, pen and paper, a flashlight, a swiss army knife, a handheld charger, an AC adapter, his wallet and a first aid kit.

Personality: Calm and rather naive, Shinji is a man of promises - once he says he will do something, he will carry through with that promise to the best of his ability. He is also one of a deep sense of adventure, although he is perfectly willing to stay back and allow others to do most of the fighting - not that he has much of a choice.

Brief Backstory: He doesn't have much of an interesting life. He was in college when he found the Take-copter and was dragged along for the adventure.

Other: None.

[IncredibleBee]

Name: Ted Topping

Age: 22

Appearance: Ted is a tall, lean-built man with gaunt facial features and a pale, sickly complexion. His brown hair is parted to the side with a brush of his fingers, and he wears a set of spectacles.
He travels wearing a black single-breasted suit, unbuttoned. He is not, however, wearing shoes.

Powers/Equipment: Upon stepping on a splinter that fell from the treasure trove of treasures, Ted got a splinter in his foot. This splinter was originally a piece of a bokken belonging to a legendary swordsman, and upon being pierced with it, the ability was passed into Ted, making him into a sword sage. Ted now instinctively knows how to wield any sword regardless of type, material, or mass.
Additionally, he can summon three weapons to his aid: a strong looking bastard sword, a sleek rapier, and an oversized greatsword. All three are of plain style, and made of a dull, grayish steel.

Personality: Ted tries to keep cool about situations, with the motto "Just be nice to everyone". It takes quite a bit to make him angry. He views attacks on himself as things for fun, but attacking his friends or bullying others is over the line. That said, his cool nature combined this newfound power makes him cocky, and it's easy to crack wise and joke around, even in heated situations.
He's good natured, even if he is airheaded. His conscience tends to bite him too easily.

Brief Backstory: Ted was an average slacker, detached from meaning as he faced the ebb and flow of a solitary cycle of working, playing games, and sleeping. The thing he wanted more than anything else was a bit of excitement in an otherwise boring world.
Well, He's found it.

Other: Why wasn't he wearing shoes, you ask? He was attending a beachside wedding when he stepped on that splinter.
