Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

One Of Us seems tough to manage because it would be totally arbitrary or powergamed whether anyone ever found the real person.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

First, I'm not personally concerned at the fight moving on without me. Of all the characters in Roanapur, I think DIO is possibly the one I want Clementine to have the least to do with, particularly since no one followed the line of logic I'd been hoping for; that everyone who arrived in front of the Yellow Flag was powerful, dangerous and at least some level of immoral, and so this little blood covered girl was probably no exception. On that note, does DIO have some sort of aura-sense to gauge people's power levels, or is he just sniffing blood and going from there?

Second...

Name: Kl'rt

Universe: Marvel 616

Appearance:

Personality: Kl'rt is a proud warrior who has been humbled many times. Despite this, he still believes himself to be superior to any human. While he disdains most non-skrulls as lesser lifeforms, Kl'rt is not sadistic when unprovoked, and rarely kills outside of battle. He places great value in honor, both personal and familial. In times of crisis, he is not unwilling to align with worthy allies, even if he never loses his attitude. Kl'rt is also a capable leader.

Powers/Skills:
Skrull army training: As a member of the Skrull warrior caste, Kl'rt is trained in the use of Skrull technology and close quarters combat. Multiple decades in battle both as part of the Skrull army and as the Skrull hero Super-Skrull have given him great experience in battle, often against opponents with unknown abilities.

Shape-shifting: Skrulls are able to alter their forms into that of anything they can imagine, be it organic or inorganic. It must, however, be solid. They can assume the form of someone but not their powers. When they imitate an inorganic object, they take on it's appearance, but not it's properties. They can also use their abilities to grow extra limbs. They have no apparent size limit, as they they been seen to assume the form of a common housefly, and shapes many times larger than their normal selves.

Pyrokinesis: Kl'rt has the Human Torch's ability to create and control large amounts of fire, as well as converting some or all of his body into a fiery plasma, allowing both high speed flight and immolation for both offense and defense. He can also absorb a nigh-infinite amount of heat.

Superhuman: Kl'rt possesses strength, stamina and durability comparable to that of The Thing, and well beyond the capabilities of any natural human or skrull, even those in peak condition. He can also cover parts of his body in a rock-like skin.

Invisibility: Kl'rt is able to project the same psionic fields as the Invisible Woman, allowing him to turn invisible or place defensive or offensive force fields.

Elasticity: Finally, Kl'rt has Mr. Fantastic's elasticity, able to stretch and contort his entire body to great lengths.

Brief Bio: Years before he became the Super-Skrull, Kl'rt was a decorated soldier in the Skrull army. However, after a string of defeats Kl'rt was disgraced, shunned by his family and his people. After the Skrulls clashed with the Fantastic Four, Kl'rt was called upon for an experimental procedure to make his body receptive to the same cosmic energy which granted them their powers, and Kl'rt once again became a hero to his people before once again facing a number of defeats and over the course of the following years he found himself locked away inside a volcano, trapped in a mystical artifact, and twice atomized and dispersed in space.
Much later, Kl'rt fought in several consecutive wars; against the Kree, against the Annihilation Wave, against Ultron's Phalanx, and against Thanos. In the midst of these conflicts, the Skrull empire was devastated, the throne world devoured by Galactus, and the Empress slain during a failed invasion of Earth. Most recently, in the aftermath of the war against Thanos, Kl'rt was crowned Emperor of the revived Skrull empire.

Equipment: The clothes on his back.

Others: Moral coding is a bit rough here. In the comics, Kl'rt has been coded as a villain up until about a decade ago purely because he has been in opposition to Earth and the Fantastic Four, but from the Skrull perspective he has always been a war hero and a super hero, even when disgraced. He certainly isn't evil, though he might have an attitude problem.

and Third, having gone over the collab post again, I don't think flow is really an issue; the big obvious benefit is fluid transition from attack to result and dialogue to response. The one paragraph that was longer than the rest could probably have used breaking in half, either before "Once she had attacked DIO long enough" or before "DIO, having lazily blocked..." just to give a breather to the reader, but that might just be me. I also think that in future collaborative posts, it might be beneficial for everyone to give their dialogue (and maybe thoughts) a personal text color, to make it stand out a bit more readily to anyone that's just skimming or easily distracted.

I also don't think it would have really hurt your collab post to have broken the whole thing up into two or three posts over the course of a day or two, in case someone just really desperately felt their character would have participated or interrupted the fight; That's their choice, even if it isn't a very clever one to make. I don't think it's something that must be done though, particularly because that would make it that much harder to get anything done if anyone involved has time constraints.

TL;DR, Collab post looks fine to me. Pro side: more fluid interaction between involved characters. Con side: It's a bit bigger of a meal than probably anyone is used to for this RP for right now.

EDIT: For the idea that someone would have intervened in the first place, excluding the dialogue at the beginning and the recovery and dialogue after, the events of the post probably took 20 to 40 seconds. A combo from Juri, a counter and then combo from DIO, and then a counter from Juri before she passed out.

Clementine - Roanapur

After Clementine had last spoke, a moment passed while both of them ate in silence. During that time, a figure was approaching from down the street. He was a little bit fascinating and a little bit absurd, but mostly something about him immediately set Clem on edge in the worst kind of way. She put a hand behind her waist, thinking about what sort of day she could look forward to when she was reaching for her gun a second time, less than half an hour after waking up.

He ignored Clementine completely and stopped a nonthreatening distance in front of Juri before calling attention to himself. As Juri brought her focus to the man, Clementine allowed her attention to wander once again. Between the man Juri had kicked in the bar, and the five that were unconscious in the street, Clem supposed she could probably handle this. Time spent traveling alone had told Clem that being unaware was usually more dangerous than any person she'd met.

While Clementine was looking around, she heard Juri and the man talk for a moment. She spotted a pair of large shapes down the road and was trying to figure out what they were when a flurry of action forced her attention back to where she was. Juri kicked at thin air, but a flash of purple light smashed the chicken she'd taken her meal from. It was like nothing Clem had ever seen, kind of cool and a little scary. Not, she thought, as scary as the hungry look in the man's eyes before Juri turned back to talk to him again. Clementine was even more convinced now that Juri had it under control, though, and so she turned her attention back down the street...

..Only to see that the noise had attracted the attention of the shapes, which were now approaching. They looked a little bit like Hippos, which Clem had seen pictures of in books from time to time before books became a luxury she never had time for. They looked a little bit like baked potatoes, too. Their backs were open a little bit as though they had been sliced and left to cool, and steam was wafting out.

"Hippotatomus" Clem said to herself, feeling just a little bit clever. "Oh, shit" she said, still mostly to herself, as the closer of the two picked up speed and started to charge towards them. "Look out!" she shouted, as she ran past Juri and the man, the first Hippo thirty feet behind her and gaining speed.

I would be okay with it, but it depends on what Azakma wants.

@GameGuruGG

I'm not really opposed either, but.. Isn't it daytime?

Clementine - Roanapur

The night had been amazing for Clementine, who couldn't remember the last time she'd been in a place with running, heated water. She'd then slept on a bed, and between those two things she slept better than she had in at least six months. When she did wake up it was to the sound of Juri yelling. She drew her pistol and ran outside, expecting the other shoe to have finally dropped and to find the city overrun with Walkers, but when she passed through the door all she found was Juri sitting on the sidewalk eating chicken.

About half of the things around the house had been turned into food, and that included the house itself. Clem spared a thought for how gross the food might be, exposed overnight to bugs or animals or whatever, and then she started gathering her own breakfast from her surroundings. Beggars can't be choosers after all. The saying made a little less sense just because of how many options there were. She sampled most of it, and by the time she had she wasn't hungry anymore.

"So... This is our challenge?" She didn't really get it, and hoped Juri had heard something before she woke up.

Coincidentally, I have also been tossing around the idea of a second character.

Probably not, though.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

Well, I'm pretty much fine with Jax blocking those with some going into him. I think a champion like himself has faced worse pain than that and has died on multiple occasions in the Summoners Rift, so it isn't too bad.

@Invisible Man

The champions on Summoner's Rift are explicitly not their real physical bodies. They take damage and die and recover because it's safeguarded by the magic of the summoning. When people die outside of the summoned environment, they mostly stay dead, barring Noxian/Zaunite scientific interference. When they're injured, it takes time to heal. That doesn't become an issue in League because League is a low-narrative video game.

Crisis City is not safeguarded. If a sawblade cuts into your limbs, it cuts your muscles, veins, nerves and maybe bones. It takes weeks to heal and months to recover. Jax can probably keep fighting despite the pain, but unless someone in Mahora is a well intentioned healer, this fight would most likely retire him from the whole "survive for a month then confront the Viewer" game.

@GameGuruGG I'm ready for the time skip, unless you've got anything else you want to cover before it happens.

Clementine - The Yellow Flag

Clementine looked at the blood as Juri asked if she was okay. "It's not mine. I'm haven't been bit." She said it as though it were the only answer that mattered, and to her it probably was. She sipped some more of her coke and listened to what Juri had to say next. It's not safe didn't really mean much to her. Clementine hadn't been safe since the outbreak, and she hadn't felt safe since Lee died.

For Juri to ask about Clem's parents was a sort of surprise, though. No one ever asked about family anymore. "The walkers got them. I saw them in Savannah. I guess they're probably still there." Before either of them could say anymore, the Viewer appeared, interrupting every conversation in the bar. He wasn't there long, and when he left the Russians started to leave, too.

After the Russians were gone, Juri stood up and made her way to the door, kicking a drunk that tried to harass her as she went. Clementine supposed that might be what she meant when she said she was dangerous. Juri asked if Clem was coming, and Clem hurried to follow her out, leaving half the bottle of coke on the counter.

Out in the street, Clem continued to follow Juri. Something seemed off, and it took her a moment to realize what. The statue was gone.

Probably best to move on without Reimu. They haven't posted here in more than a week, but they were online less than an hour ago. And more than one person is waiting on them.
