[OOC] Legends Among Us (Pokemon RP) (closed)

[Rethel34]

Thus why I chose to do so while it was already preoccupied XD

[Thundercrash]

You know what I wonder? What would a Deoyxs avatar be like? Given that it is an alien legendary (therefore one could assume that it had a very different path of development than the native Pokemon), whose most identifying trait is its ability to change between multiple forms (ostensibly at will). And then tying those abilities to a human?

[Chimera]

Stahp bickering and fall for Hope's prank, you sillies...

[Eklispe]

I'm trying. Rebecca is too busy being an antisocial wimp.

[Thundercrash]

@Eklispe There must be angst! High Drama! Else how does one know that one is ALIVE!

In all seriousness, I'm just about done.

[Eklispe]

Hehe, you got fooled by my mis-spelled name.

[Thundercrash]

Yes, curse you and your name.

There, conflict (at least insofar as Rebeca is responsible) is over. Kaze will have to forgive her for not shaking his hand, her arms are little full and she's none too comfortable with the situation. And yes, she really does think Tantalus is smug and undeserving of much recognition until she decides he's earned and deserves it.

I can also happily report that I've got until Monday completely free, so if there's any interactions that would like to be done, I'm available.

[Thundercrash]

@Eklispe To be fair to both Rebeca and Vuduin, both their social skills suck. He never actually introduced himself directly to her, and the manner in which he cleaned off the foam, while certainly an ingenious use of Ominous Wind, would make for a rather off-putting first impression.

As for Rebeca, she's not used to people being nice to her in really any form (or good with people in general since she spends so little time with them). Had Mihkail not reminded her to do so, she wouldn't have introduced herself until the next time someone directly asked for her name.

[Leos Klien]

I think we should move onto the actual dinner shortly.

[Ardent Dawn]

Also agreed - I'm happy to move things along :)

[Zanavy]

Hey Chimera, welcome back :)

[Vulkan]

May i join?

[Leos Klien]

@VulkanHoly shit, thats a the guy from Code geass!
My most favourite anime of all time!
Points to you sir!

[Zanavy]

Um. Leos? Have you heard from your sister yet?

Vulkan, I'm not sure if I can handle another player. I guess I should've taken the 'accepting' part down. Thank you for your interest, though, and I'll keep you updated.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Thundercrash One idea would be a limited ability to redistribute body mass and augment various physical properties - rather than fully shapeshifting, it could go from thin and lithe with lean muscles (like a gymnast) to relatively short and stocky with a wrestling build (durable and heavy-hitting).

Throw in a short-range telekinetic field to supplement their physical attributes in different ways (meshing its psychic powers with its transformations) and you could potentially make it work - you'd basically have an omniproficient athlete that alters their specialty as needed :)

For balance reasons, you'd probably make it require a certain amount of time and concentration to alter their physique and field - enough that they could knock someone back and then switch while their opponent recovers, but slow enough to require an opening.

The simplest ideas for field options would be a telekinetic augmentation of any physical actions for Normal (run slightly faster, hit slightly harder, etc), weight reduction for Speed (run faster and jump higher), extreme telekinetic force applied behind punches/kicks in Attack (hitting like pistons) and extreme deceleration of anything traveling into the field for Defence.

You can tell that I enjoy reading stuff like Worm :P

[Sickle-cell]

And for those who haven't read it, that's but a sliver of the kind of stuff Worm manages. Read it, your life will be infinitely better =P

[Eklispe]

SUCH A GOOD BOOK. Hey @Sickle-cell wanna join a Worm RP? _{Shameless advertising}

[Rethel34]

Curse my backwardness. Everyone else has weekends off and is typically busy the rest of the week, while I'm away on weekends and available almost whenever else. XD

[Sickle-cell]

Been joint playing and planning a Worm Rp between friends now for over 2 years. Some of the results have been beyond *anything* I could have ever possibly imagined, resulting in us building an entire infrastructure of original characters for 4 gangs, 2 vigilante groups and the entire Protectorate. Sickle-Cell was one of many of those characters. In our latest session, Sickle's vigilante group pulled off such a stupid stunt, we managed to detonate a quasi-nuclear device from a bomb tinker that makes Bakuda look like a kid with a rattle. The GM, coincidentally, is Ardent Dawn =P

[Ardent Dawn]

In brief summary, the Vader-level enforcers of this particular setting were Scylla and Charbydis (spoken of fearfully as The Sisters), a pair of aerokine twins - Scylla used air compression to become a massively powerful Mover/Brute (using Vi-esque blasts alongside a bulletproof barrier of compressed air surrounding her body), while Charybdis used air suction to become an equally powerful Mover/Blaster (with flight and railgun-esque projectiles). One of Sickle-Cell's characters was Gubbins, a mad bomb Tinker who could produce any imaginable bomb once per sesson as long as he could weave a suitably impressive and utterly false lie about how he'd built said bomb.

Despite both of us hyping the Sisters to be an unstoppable force that could only be escaped, Gubbins was obscenely lucky and almost one-shotted Syclla with a single bomb (while damn-near killing his nearby boss in the process). After some quick thinking from me and a monologue from Gubbins (including such bullshitting as breaking into his arch-rival's vault simply to remove a single red wire from the lock), I decided that Gubbins' bomb was originally designed to bypass walls and barriers - rather than exploding traditionally, it converted a reasonable proportion of the air in its radius into plasma in order to burn its victims. Syclla's compressed air barrier was described as being roughly 50 times atmospheric pressure (using the same trick as the Endbringers).

The exploding plasma almost took half of Gubbins' allies with her :P
