[OOC] Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

[Shoryu]

On a side note, I always pictured 'overlord' as a good guy, or anti-hero XD Oh sure, Gnarl always plays up the evil monster angle, but what is the overlord always 'doing'? Beating down worse evils that make his rule look particularly welcoming by comparison. Fallen heroes tormenting those they once saved? an uncompromising empire trying to make a god out of the stolen essence of magical creatures?

Yeah, Gnarl can play it up all he likes XD but overlord has a remarkably tendency to do 'good things' even when he's being 'evil' XD

just my 2-cents >3> heehee

@ToadRopes I'm not going to be able to post for eight hours or so, so in order to respond without having to do a really short post, please feel free to include this in the end of your latest post:

After a tense and somewhat confused moment, Filia cracked a smile. It wasn't everyday a girl got to meet a gorilla, and while his size made him a little intimidating, this rather goofy-looking ape seemed to be friendly. Before turning back to Kino, Filia reached up and gave Donkey Kong a delighted and enthusiastic high-five. Evidently the strangeness of the situation hadn't fully sunk in on her; that, or the events in the world Fila had left behind were weird enough to make greeting a gregarious gorilla a positively mundane experience.

@Shoryu

Please, the Overlord is completely evil! He is the pure force of evil to balance out the good in the entire world! The good only turns bad as there is no evil force to battle against. Also, the good guys turned evil mainly from the previous Overlord who corrupted them overtime, remember? Also, for Overlord 2. Don't you know? The Overlord destroyed every sanctuary for the good magical beings, just to benefit himself. And yet again, the good turned evil after Rose had stupidly tried to change things to make good rule the world instead of evil. But there always has to be balance in the world, and "EVIL ALWAYS FINDS A WAY!"

Edit: Also, the endings show that the Overlord can be quite evil. He likes himself dictatorships and slaves! Also, just sharing my opinions about the Overlord, not trying to start an argument with you. I just like seeing the Overlord as a bad guy.

[Sir Screwloose]

@Dead CruiserWhere did you get all that from?

Edit: Whoops, never mind that question!

[Grey Star]

Oh yeah, will be saying everyone can understand each other after the first few uneventful conversations. It's pretty much a hand wave to ensure proper communication between the player characters since not being able to speak with each other will put a cramp in most posts. XD

@Dead Cruiser Your newest character breaks the "no one hit ko poison rule" from the first post, I'm sorry to say. If you're willing to nerf the poison so they don't kill instantly, and all of them aren't uncurable or too fast acting, she'd be fine.

@Sir Screwloose

Yes... The chortles...

@Invisible Man

It would be interesting then if we had both played overlords from different time lines, and you're 'bad guy' overlord could meet my 'sortof good-guy' overlord XD The battle would have been glorious! but alas, only 2 characters and I don't want to stretch my limits of RPability so early in the RP xD

@Dead Cruiser Your newest character breaks the "no poison rule" from the first post, I'm sorry to say. Also what Screw said.

@Grey Star

That is also necessary to facilitate certain individuals from only sounding 'horse-enese' or 'monkeynese' or something XD... Snrk, miscommunication can be hilarious sometimes.

Also, no poisons? I think 'I' missed that rule too... would sleeping gas grenades count as poison? or air-borne anesthetic? XD or the non-lethal 'sleep darts' from the WU pistol?

Edit: Oh wait, I see, one hit kill poisons XD derp

[ToadRopes]

So we're going to make everybody understand each other?

Okay.

[Sir Screwloose]

ignore this

[VitaVitaAR]

Also, have to mention Kino, while definitely a girl, can easily be mistaken for a small, slightly built boy. People tend to either not mention her gender or assume male, most of the time, though in a few cases people immediately figure out she's female.

Edit: Also making one post and then stopping until more people show up.

... And still wondering why Dio is speaking Japanese. ^^;

[Rin]

Oh hey, the IC went up whilst I was asleep. :O I... Will wait until I'm more awake before introducing Kohaku I guess.

...Why is Dio speaking Japanese? He's English, and spent most of part 3 in Cairo. He really only speaks Japanese in the manga and anime since... It's a manga and anime. Translation conventions and all. XD

[Shoryu]

Oh god I just realized something!

Big boss's contacts, like Huey and Chico, talk his ear off about all kinds of weird things... Anime, games, fantasy stories, monster legends... Imagine him recognizing a couple of the people in the RP by the descriptions he's been badgered with in the past XD

[Sir Screwloose]

eh... to be honest, I've never been a big fan of the whole 'characters in a crossover recognize each other as fictional' thing, though that might just be because I saw it done spectacularly badly once.

[VitaVitaAR]

I... think it very much depends. I have seen it done horribly before(why would a character suddenly go into suicide mode from learning this?) but if it's just surprise at seeing the fictional character(and if they're told them just being "Uh okay sure weirdo") then it's okay.

[Shoryu]

@Sir Screwloose

oh, I've seen it done spectacularly badly a few times XD but good a few other times :D For me it depends on how believable it is. considering that Boss has several people on his personal team, in just about every mission, who tend to go on and on about things like that, it's fairly more likely.

Personally, I see him recognizing Donkey kong for sure, he's from that general era, I think? >3> I might be wrong there. He'll probably also recognize the 'animal style' of some of the others, but given the time-period, not the individuals.

Of course, I can just 'not'. Afterall, It's just an 'idea' :D He's also 'big boss', he might just not give enough of a shit to think that hard about what Huey might have said about animes at one point or another >3>

[GreatSalmon]

Of god! The IC started while in my slumber!

**Frantically runs to post.**

EDIT:

Also, I hope its alright that I play Pridemoor's introduction differently. I had written his bio as already having lived in the city for three years. I can change my post if this isn't alright.

[PaulHaynek]

This is going way too fast for me to catch up. Maybe it is best if I leave?

P.S. And I was working on an FE Robin character.

@Grey Star

Misread that in my haste last night. Yep, sure, that's fine by me. Call it unpredictable reactions to inhuman physiology.

@Sir Screwloose

Yes, I would vastly prefer if we did not do this.

It provides really unnecessary meta-knowledge to the characters, and ruins certain matchups and potential plot points. I once played Giorno Giovanna in a game with a Dio player (VVAR remembers this), and the suspense of playing his unknown son was basically moot, as the player had decided that Dio read the JoJo's manga in his offtime.

[Lugubrious]

Did you ever hear DIO speaking English? Non, non, non, non, non. I'm sticking to the source material.

Elsa and Anna were from Scandinavia, but they're in an American production so they speak English. The characters from Kung Fu Panda all live in China, but Dreamworks is American so they speak English too. DIO might be from England, but he's in a Japanese production. Even characters in Jojo's, whether Egyptian or Indian or American or whatever, all speak the same language.

That said, he is definitely intelligent enough to learn multiple languages, and will switch over to English once he discerns that the populace is speaking it.
