[OOC] Reboot: Please Select Player

[Kafka Komedy]

"Select your character. Remember, you can't go back later."

In Summary

Reboot is a multiverse RP with a focus on adventuring. You play as yourself, mixed with a fictional character. It's loosely based on Return to the Multiverse by Kalamadea and grandsword.

Intro

It's about 3 AM, and for some reason you're still browsing the internet. You're tired, bored, and not thinking straight. Clicking links randomly has led you to a sketchy-ass website that looks like it was made in the 80's. The only thing of interest on it is a single download link for an executable called "Reboot.exe." Apparently, judging by the mediocre description, it's some kinda fan game. Due to your lack of sleep, your common sense is just low enough to download it. When it finally finishes, the program opens up automatically and displays a simple title screen, completely white with only two pieces of text. The title, Reboot, and a "New Player" option. You hit enter, and you're greeted with a character select screen that is massive. So many, many characters to choose from. There's even a "Create Character" button! After selecting one of these, though, your fatigue catches up with you, and you pass out on your keyboard.

Important Info

So, In this RP you are a "Player" who has been sucked into the internet by "Eddy Gadd" one of the first people to be sucked into the multiverse. He informs you that the reason you have been sucked into the internet is to defeat Eden. Eden was a program built to keep balance in the multiverse and protect the Crucible of Worlds, a powerful relic that was the key to starting up the multiverse. In the end Eden became to powerful and aware, and broke the Crucible into pieces, scattering it across the multiverse. Now, Eden wants to reshape the multiverse to its whims, corrupting and deleting anyone or anything that gets in its way. Some heroes have already fallen to Eden, so it's up to you and your band of Player Characters to find the pieces of the Crucible, and destroy Eden, before the entire Multiverse is so twisted and mangled, no one can fix it.

Rules

• Keeping in the spirit as playing yourself, I'd prefer if we kept it one character to a person.
• No godmodding, of course.
• Feel free to suggest worlds to go to, and do whatever you like in each world.
• Generally, characters are kinda powerful. This is a power fantasy in it's purest form, so feel free to give yourself a little stuff that would be considered OP elsewhere. Look to other character in this thread to see if your character's powerful enough/too powerful.
• Once you've posted your character in OOC and I approve, post it in the Characters Tab.

Characters

So, in this roleplay, you are generally an amalgamation of you, and someone else. Normally it's a fandom character, but if you happened to hit the "create character" button, it can just an alteration of yourself. Sometimes the character completely overcomes the player, leaving only the base traits of player, while being largely the character, or vice versa. Other times there is complete balance, even up to the point of two minds and/or souls inhabiting one body. It can be either of those, or anything in between. Powers are generally based on the character themselves, but occasionally there is a glitch in the system, and people can get mixed, or even completely different powersets to the characters they've been combined with. You can pretty much pick anyone, and again; the powers are based on characters, they don't have to be exact.

Waiting List

Free, for now.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Wow. You got this up fast.

Alllllmost done with My charrie.

We need some sci-fi people here. I'm remedying that xP
Robots and Lasers will be a thing soon.

Also, hope you don't mind a guy getting stuck in the body of the character that he chose...which just so happened to be female xP

[Cuccoruler]

This is gonna be so much fun!

ooh! We should have evil versions of all the characters!

My Hider

This is gonna be kirbys evil version! but it's gonna be blue!

@Rune_Alchemist

Yeah, I essentially copy pasted like half the stuff from the IntCheck. Perks of having a good IntCheck: You can recycle it into a decent OOC Post.

Also, yeah, we are lacking the Sci Fi. And as for the "Guy stuck in a girls body" thing, I think that's really interesting. That stuff only happened like, once in the original. Even than it was a girl in a dude body.

[Penultimate_Pi]

The first thing he will do? Feel up his new body; I guarantee it. "Oh gee, I have breasts!"

[Kafka Komedy]

Aw damnit! I should've googled "Evil Cirno" before making my character. I could've played as this!


But if we're doing evil versions than...

[Penultimate_Pi]

Nero's evil version would just look the same as himself, but even more of an asshole.

[Cuccoruler]

as far as i can tell the IC hasn't started yet, you could still change his apparance Kafka

@Cuccoruler

Nah, I was joking. Troll Cirno is cool, but I ain't no troll. At least, as far as you know.

But, an RP where characters from other works become trolls and play Sgrub... that might be an idea. An idea for another day though, certainly.

[Chronothesis]

Oh, and for the 'Virus' idea, here's...a picture I LOVE.

[Rune_Alchemist]

My Hider

Gage/Gaige is a bit on the small side. Weighing no more than a hundred twenty pounds, though they are a bit on the tall side at 5'5". Also swears up and down that is not a skirt. He has messy red hair, and wears a dull-green cap that looks like its seen quite a bit of use. The jacket is a dark black color, covered in dust and seems to have also seen its fair share of use. The mechanical arm has a lot of nicks and scratches on it.

Name:
Nicholas, but has asked to be either called by the characters name, or just Nick.

Gender:
Male. Probably.

Character:
Gaige

Personality:
Well, unfortunately for the somewhat apathetic, lazy, and cynical boy known as Nick, being thrown into a game world is the last thing he ever wanted to happen. A bit on the snarky side, he's snarky, doesn't generally like people and really would just rather sit at home and do nothing other than eat chips and salsa and watch the TV or look for a job, which so far has proven futile even with a college degree. That said, he secretly likes the idea of fighting something, just for the sake of fighting something. Becomes more noticeable if he's actually fighting something.

Fortunately, it seems some of Gaige's personality has rubbed off on him a bit. Namely, the interest in all things mechanical and being some-what friendlier. Well, lets use 'friendlier' lightly. Mostly, he's lost that laziness of his, but is still a bit of a jerk. Shoot first, ask questions later. Can't seem to sit still for awhile either.

As for his attitude on being thrown into a female body...well, he's actually fairly chill about it. But that's just his general 'I don't give a crap' attitude talking.

Can be a bit untrusting at first to begin with.

Powers:
-Summons Deathtrap.

deathtrap

Really, what's more to say than this? Summons a giant hulking robot that can pulverize enemies with digi-structed claws. By that, I mean its electronic claws that hurt. Also has a laser eye and can clap and cause explosions. Floats and can fly. This thing can probably rip a steel door off its hinges with ease. Probably where most of his power comes from, since digi-structing a gun could take a bit, and anarchy can be a bit...unreliable. Completely loyal to him, and will do anything he says.

-Has a shield that can absorb most forms of damage before he takes damage. Of course, it can only take a certain amount of before failing. A bit on the squishy side after its gone, but a minute or two will allow it to fully recharge as long as he doesn't take any more injuries.

-Can summon a variety of weapons using her right arm. Mostly, he uses two sub machine guns, but he can construct several other armaments. Most notably, an RPG or rocket-launching shotgun. Weapons in borderlands were crazy, yo. Ammo seems to be fairly infinite, though reloading is a thing. Not an original power of Gagie's. Any weapons summoned will vanish once he drops them - though its a bit of a hassle, since making another one could take awhile, depending.

-Suddenly has become a master of engineering and Robotics.

-Peak human agility. Easily can avoid attacks and dodge things. Running is his specialty. CQC isn't his forte. Though, a shotgun to the face is usually pretty effective.

-Anarchy. Every time he reloads a gun or kills something, he gains a stack of anarchy. Now...what is anarchy? Well, basically it gives him a god-complex and increases any damage or force done by his weapons - unfortunately, the accuracy of weapons decreases dramatically. Can toggle it on and off. Cant hit shit, but one bullet = one brain splosion. Tends to break the fourth wall when using this a lot.

Equipment:
- a Mechanical right arm, which is used to Summon Deathtrap and weapons. Not any stronger than a normal arm, but its obviously more durable and doesn't get injured.

- Carries a few wrenches and other things in that jacket.

Other:
Claims to be a guy. The boobs seem to say otherwise. He doesn't really seem to care if you use masculine or feminine pronouns, though. Just don't touch the goods. He doesn't like being touched in general, though.

Okay, finally done here. I think.

The first thing he will do? Feel up his new body; I guarantee it. "Oh gee, I have breasts!"

@Penultimate_Pi

Actually, probably not. Since this guy is supposed to be based loosely on me...he'd probably be more like:

"Huh...well...that's new....wait - how do I use the restroom?!"

[Kafka Komedy]

@Chronothesis Don't look half bad. I'm partially to the other pic you posted. This one here.

I dunno. Both are good. Eden is even a unisex name. Both even have an object that could be the crucible of worlds in the picture. I guess it all depends if you guys want a male or female looking villain.

@Rune_Alchemist Accepted. Expect Cirka to call him (them? her?) a futa immediately upon meeting.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@Kafka Komedy

Well, maybe that could actually be a thing.

But really, just call him/her/it/them whatevs. He's not likely to care too much.

[Kafka Komedy]

So far we've got:

Cirka - Spellblade/Red Mage
Dan - Rouge
Leander - Black Mage
Carmen - Engineer(?)
Cia - Blue Mage
Alexander - Fighter
Nicholas - Ranger

Pretty cool.

[Camerch]

Hang on! Don't start without me! I'm almost done!

[Kafka Komedy]

We ain't starting without ya. I probably won't make the first IC post tonight.

[Chronothesis]

CS INBOUND!

20 Minutes left.

[Camerch]

Alton Clef a.k.a Jacket

Appearance:

Name: Alton Clef

Gender: Male

Character: Jacket

Personality: In public, Alton is a very stoic person. He seems to be able to take a lot of grief from others without affecting his emotions. However, the important word here is "seems". In the privacy of his room, he can rage incredibly hard out of stress and anger. As a result, he's taken to letting out his emotions on cathartic video games like Hotline Miami or Call of Duty. His philosophy is like poker: If you let your emotions show, you lose.

Powers:

• Bezerker Rage: When Alton is hurt, or sufficiently angered, he will fly into a murderous rage to try to kill the offending party.
• Increased Dodging: Normally, he can only take one hit before he dies, but because of reasons of balancing, his dodge skill has been increased to compensate.
• Increased Strength: With a weapon, Alton can kill a person in one hit. Or he can knock them out with an unarmed punch or by throwing something at them. (Actual lethality depends on the weapon)

Equipment:

• Wooden Bat: Lethal in his hands.
• Rubber Rooster Mask: He can't take it off.

Other: Choosing Jacket as his character was Alton's mistake. Psychotic, apathetic, and the embodiment of Rage, Alton will be spending a lot of time trying to beat his new personality into submission.

[Kafka Komedy]

@Camerch Yes! I love Hotline Miami! I wonder why so many people said 2 was bad? It wasn't as good as the first one in some respects, but I think the increased variety makes up for it.

Anywho, are you sure you don't wanna make him more powerful? I understand "One-Hit Kill" is a powerful skill, but don't you want something a little more? Maybe Biker's throwing knives? Maybe x-ray vision or some variant, in vain of the games' top down perspective?

[Scarifar]

I can see one hit kills working on humans: after all, humans (and dogs) were the only physical opponents. I can't see it working on something like, say, a giant crab. Not even if he had a machine gun.
