Angels Forever Weep (DMC x Bayonetta x God of War Inspired alternate universe)

It also doesn't require the Demon's soul to make a Devil Arm.

That's proven by Yamato, Rebellion, and Force Edge, which were all forged from and by the same demon, Sparda. Force Edge was poured with Sparda's power, which allowed Arkham to access his form for a short while before he turned into sludge.

It likely requires immense power to make them strong though, but it doesn't exactly cost the demon's life.

[EnterTheHero]

I know Bayonetta pretty well, better than DMC, at any rate. My concern is whether or not I'd be any good as a co-GM.

[Sho Minazuki]

Well, that's a bummer. I might be interested in GMing. I'm somewhat okay at taking over for other peoples' ideas. Still, I'd be happy if someone else stepped up.

EDIT: why don't we just scrap God of War and use Darksiders instead? Its lore fits the primarily angels-versus-demons theme of Bayonetta and DMC quite well. If you wanted to do the DMC parts, I could do one or even both Bayonetta and Darksiders.

@Lugubrious

Also Darksiders does make an appearance in PxZ.

That said, I have no idea on the Darksiders world either, literally I only know DMC well.

So far we have lmp volunteering, who else?

[Lmpkio]

Like I said, I can be a good Co-GM myself, just not the head honcho.

(I also think that we should have Cameos of idk... Bayonetta, Dante, Kratos, etc once n' a while or something. It may sound now a little more like a multiverse thing but ya know, its still cool if you think about it. Just a suggestion though).

@Sho Minazuki

That's true. I defaulted to making the Devil Arms out of demon souls because that's a parallel between DMC, Bayonetta (as evidenced by Rodin, who does kill demons and make their souls into weapons), and Darksiders (where weapons are literally crafted from the remains of enemies, with soul power evident but not used as a resource). The company certainly wouldn't have the ability to make powerful weapons without sacrificing a demon's soul.

@Sho Minazuki

I think you mean Darkstalkers. Darksiders is this:

Darksiders fits the mold way better than God of War, which focuses on a Greek mythological premise rather than Judeo-Christian lore.

And I was volunteering.

@Lmpkio

Problem is the premise is basically that the ones who upheld this fragile balance (Dante, Bayonetta, etc.) have disappeared or failed somehow, so the main characters or those who work very closely and alongside them (like Trish for Dante) will not appear unless under very special plot-related circumstances.

EDIT: Ah.

But Darkstalkers can work too I think... Still, doesn't change I've never played Darksiders.

@Sho Minazuki

I know that, and I'm not saying they should be of the norm. Just certain cameo appearances once n' awhile. Special plot-related stuff is one of them, so maybe we can add a few onto some future plots if we get far enough.

[EnterTheHero]

I could at least provide info on Bayonetta. I was pretty big on reading the codexes or whatever.

[Sho Minazuki]

I would say characters like Nero and Rodin will appear though.

[Lugubrious]

I'd advocate against cameos of canonical characters, but even more I'd say not to include any more than three universes, and even then make sure that those are well-tied together. The makers of DMC and Bayonetta have indicated that they take place in the same universe, and Darksiders aligns pretty closely. All of them would be able to be a fully integrated universe, no multiverse necessary.

@EnterTheHero

Superb. You for Bayonetta, Sho for DMC, and me for Darksiders sounds good.

[Lmpkio]

@Lugubrious I forgot to mention the part with Bayonetta and DMC being part of the same universe too. It won't be too often, and even then that usually goes for the main characters. They'll simply me NPCs or just used very sparingly for plot wise.

I can also help out with the Bayonetta parts too, having played both games before (and playing her via Smash).

@Lmpkio

I'm sure we can all more or less work together on the DMC and Bayonetta parts, given their popularity and proliferation of lore. I played DMCs 1 and 3 all the way through, and watched a playthrough of 4. Also watched a playthrough of Bayonetta.

@Lugubrious

Of course lol.

[EnterTheHero]

So, it seems to me we've all come to an accord to renovate this recently-abandoned RP?

[Sho Minazuki]

I've only played DMC3 and 4, but I regularly went reading on 1 and 2.

I'm still not too sure about Darksiders though, Bayonetta with DMC I can agree with, I've played Bayonetta 1, so I know how the worlds can meld at least, but I've no clue on Darksiders and how it's lore can or will clash with Bayonetta and DMC.

EDIT: Light reading tells me that I foresee problems with what is the main authority in hell with Darksiders. In DMC it's Mundus, in Darksiders it's the Council.

@Sho Minazuki

It won't really. Darksiders has heaven and hell, which are populated by angels and demons, just like in the other games (paradiso and inferno are names for the same thing). It has numerous other realms as well, but they don't explicitly clash with anything and we can ignore them if we choose. The main characters in Darksiders are Nephilim, which are a race of warriors approximately halfway between angel and demon, which I can provide more information on, but there are humans as well. At the end of Darksiders 2, the apocalypse is reverted and humanity saved, so there's no real breach in the state of the earth.

The Charred Council isn't an authority in hell; it's an authority in the universe. In Greek mythology, if Zeus is king of heaven and Hades king of hell, then the Charred Council is like the fates. It doesn't actually do much itself, but its Councillors are wise and nigh-omniscient, where their authority is derived from.

[Sho Minazuki]

Oh nevermind.

The Charred Council was the one that brokered peace between heaven and hell.

I think I can figure out where this all fits then, I just need to read on the Four Horsemen now and see where they fit...

[Sho Minazuki]

We shall open a chat for this.

On Skype probably. We have too many volunteers for co-gm though, I'll only need two, representing the other two game universes.

[Lmpkio]

@Sho Minazuki I has skype. Same as my username and profile pic.
