[OOC] Underlake: An Othertale

[Major Ursa]

@Vesuvius00Yep, and accepted!

[Ogo]

Oh yay! I've been beyond obsessed with Undertale lately (I blame the beautiful fansongs all over the Web, really), so I reckon I'll see about working up a sheet right quick! :D

[Major Ursa]

@Ogobrogo
O)_(O
Same.

[Ogo]

@Major Ursa
So I'm a bit torn between making a human and making a monster. I've got an idea floating around for both, but the indecisiveness is strong in this one. Sooo...why not ask questions, yeah?

Around what age range should the humans fall under? Since they're divers, I'm assuming they're not children (but hey, weirder things have happened, no?). Should they all be younger, or is age not really a factor here?

Would any of the monsters have seen humans before the first dive team? Or even know what humans are? How about humans, would they be aware of monsters being a thing, or would they treat them as just legends, myths, and the like?

Are the monsters aware of how to break the barrier, assuming the method for breaking it is the same as in Undertale?

[Major Ursa]

@OgobrogoAh, finally! Here some the questions!

The humans fall in the teen/young adult/adult category, all with diver certification. Most of them are adult, and if they're younger they're usually supposed to be working with an older member of the group. Preteen or child characters would probably not be accepted unless you really come up with something good for background, otherwise I'd ask that they be aged up some for this RP.

Generally speaking, the monsters actually HAVE NOT seen any humans before the first dive team, unless you count books...book which are usually scarce, soaked through when found, and have to be restored with magic before they were at a quality that could be read from. Yeah, I feel like most restored books are kept in a public library, so everyone gets a chance to read. The barrier is implied to be different, humans actually couldn't have entered into the underground when all of the sealing weapons were still in place, though any living being stuck under the barrier now still can't leave.

Monster are not entirely aware of how to break the barrier, not that it would help a number of the monsters trapped in the underlake, as only 60% (more or less) have some form of aquatic affinity. The only ways out after the barrier are down involve a lot of swimming. There were probably more monsters with a non-water affinity at some point, but after the Mirth Valley was flooded, too many of them had lost hope.

@Major Ursa
Alrighty. Thanks for answering me questions ^-^ Now I'm more intrigued than I was before. Go figure. ANNNNYYYYWAAAAY, I think I'll go with a human just to balance things out slightly. But Dad-bro just barely beat out Old Goblin-bro.
Well, without further blah blah blah...

The Family Man

Name:
Elijah Sylvester Collins
Goes by Eli

Appearance:


At just about six foot tall and one hundred eighty pounds soaking wet, Eli isn’t exactly the most intimidating guy on the block. Couple in the man’s soft, perpetually smiling face and you’ve got yourself a harmless wabbit, doc.

The proud father sports a head of sandy blonde hair, neatly combed back more often than not. The hairline is starting to creep back along the hairline, and the guy’s found more than a few gray hairs in his mane. His eyes are a lush green, a carbon copy of his daughter’s own peepers. His eyesight though...well it could be worse. Probably. Or not. In any case, he’ll hardly be seen without his red rimmed glasses. And if he is...well, he probably can’t see you. Have fun!

Soul Color:
Green

Bio:
A commercial diver by trade, Eli spends much of the year away from home, usually on some rusty old offshore rig. Or perhaps the better phrasing would be, below some rusty old offshore rig. Wielding. Sure, it’s not his only job, but more often than not, it’s what he’s doing. And then after a few months there, he’s at home waiting for the next job. And waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

It’s not so bad, being at home for long periods of time. Eli relishes the time he gets to spend with the kids and the wife. But the home life, even one as pleasant as his, can become quite dull and monotonous overtime. As such, Eli plies his trade in the only way he knows how: volunteer rescue diving. More often than not, it translates to nothing more than just another card to carry around but...but sometimes, it could mean so much more. It could mean the difference between life and death. And as for this crew missing for a month now? Well, Eli has swore to find them and bring them back home. For the families that miss them so dearly.

-Lucy (Wife)

Papyrus' fabled blue attack is blue. Whodathunkit?

[Lolita Complex]

Name: K

Personality: K is a mischievous and downright annoying monster, who is nonetheless charming in her own unique way. A good source of japes.

Ruthless.

Bio: K is one of the last remaining Boss Monsters in the Underground, having been essentially adopted by the land's inhabitants after the untimely death of her two parents. As a Boss Monster whose parents died before she was mature, K has never grown past her child state, and will likely remain small and frail until the end of time.

Despite this, she has sworn to destroy anything that threatens her and her new family's peaceful existence. Even if that something might be the thing to free them. And even if she's only up to their knees in height.

Did I mention she's short?

Relations: Her family is all of the Underground. They are all her friends.
Skill: Legendary reaction time. Good at running away.
Weapon: Her fists.
Armour: N/A

Fight: K is a fast, frantic fighter who overwhelms opponents with a barrage of lightning-quick and hard-to-dodge attacks. Her signature K-O Punch can defeat enemies in a single hit. Her gimmick is that she can accelerate and decelerate speed of battle. Her magic is Red.

Act:
>Check
*K 99 ATK 0 DEF
*Punches in spurts.
*If she hits you, it's going to hurt.

>Talk
(Depends on your relationship level with K.)

>Bribe
(Different effects based on amount paid. If greater than 20 Gold, K will flee. Usually.)
(If you give her exactly one gold, the battle gets harder.)

>Gift
(Different effects based on what items you give. Improves your relationship with K.)

Mercy: Can only be spared when fighting alone. Requires all other Monsters to be spared first. Wants to see your DETERMINATION.

(If the opponent has killed a Monster, she will not accept their Mercy.)

(Tends to run away if she's the only enemy remaining.)

(Secret Mercy Methods: "World Domination", "I Dated The Goblin", "Fight Club".)

(Blue.)

@Ogobrogo
Accepted.

@Lolita Complex
Skim the rules again?

@Major Ursa

My bad. Got rather enveloped in the thrills of creating a character.

Edited.

[Major Ursa]

@Lolita ComplexNo problem! Accepted!

Also, questions are encouraged, and so are character relation discussions.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Major Ursa Ooh! Well, with that in mind...:3

@Vesuvius00 Would it be alright if Skylar saw Nina as a little sister of sorts?

[Ogo]

It's so quiet in here xD

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Ogobrogo Indeed....^^"

[Ogo]

@Guardian Angel Haruki
GASP! Signs of life!
Woohoo! We'll just have to crush the silence, yeah?

Mind if I ask a couple questions about your charrie?

Like, roughly, how old would Skylar be? And how long would she have had this job? I figure she and Eli would at least somewhat know each other due to the whole co-worker thing. How much probably depends on whether she is new or if she's been around the block a few times. In any case, I'd think Eli would really respect the whole take charge attitude she's got there ^-^

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Ogobrogo Crushing the silence sounds like a capital idea. XD

Go on ahead. XD

I would say in this case, Skylar would be around 18 to 19 years old. She would be 8 years older than her sibling. I would say that she would have been around the block a couple of times. XD

[Ogo]

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Ookie-dokie! Seasoned Co-Workers it is~
Granted, Eli's the proud father type. Wouldn't be surprised if that grew old very quickly and annoyed the piss out of her xD

So how will she react to the monsters, do you reckon?

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Ogobrogo In order for her to get annoyed, it would depend on what Eli does, and what emotional and mental buttons he presses.

I would say Skylar would be surprised and wary at first, but would later grow accustomed to it after seeing so many monsters. XD

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Duly noted! Guess we'll just have to wait and see, eh? ^-^

Undertale, man. I'm like, really excited. It's kind of sad, really.

Annnnywaaaay, it's getting late and three am comes way too soon. Later days, party peep~

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Ogobrogo Yup! XD

I'm looking forward to this as well! XD

OK. Night dude!

[Major Ursa]

*looks around*
People are talking, in my OOC?!
Heh, but I'll have this thing started in...a number of days, I'd really prefer if we had a full cast of human characters, but it isn't entirely necessary, as thar will be NPC.
