Seems pretty good, if you could elaborate a little more on this power armor that would be great.

@Hitman

Sure.

Shall I post the upgraded character sheet or just notify when the original is edited?

《 H. E. R. O. 》

<Snipped quote by Chiro>

Funny character for sure, but I think he'll make a good fit! Welcome!

@Hitman

Thank you

And as promised, here's the Hero

Brody Jackson

Name
Brody Jackson

Code Name
Failsafe

Gender
Male

Age
63

Date of Birth
November 15th

Physique
Brody is of the average size for an american man. He's decently muscular, brought by a training program designed to avoid over-training.

The Power-Armor failsafe wears during missions makes him look bigger and bulkier than he is. The costume is blue with a white eye at the chest to lure fire towards the heaviest armor and away from the head. Failsafe doesn't wear a cape.

Blood Type
B

Occupation
Hero

Side
Heroes

Affiliation
H.E.R.O (formerly freelancer)

Tier
D

Personality
Brody is a very cautious man due to his power, which sometimes makes him regret his actions and second guess everything he does. He has however accepted the limits of his power and tries to pull everything useful out of it. Even during out of action, Brody spends a lot of time going through safety and precaution protocols he has created and making sure that no important data goes lost.

Backstory
Brody had a relatively normal life for someone living in a world with 200 years of superpower history, until during one bad day a series of mistakes that could have all been avoided, caused him to gain the power of enhanced hindsight. Now, everytime he perceives or otherwise becomes aware of an accident, mistake or similar bad situation, he'll instantly know everything about how the situation could, would or should have been avoided. Brody, however learned to use his talent to the fullest. After retiring from his prior job as a Journalist, Brody became a full-time consultant superhero, providing combat, rescue and other protocols for numerous public, private and superhero organizations.

Although not the most popular of superheroes, Failsafe has a reputation of caution. It is probably because of it that he received an invitation from Hugo Powers to join H.E.R.O and bring some of that caution to the company. Brody leaves once again to consult another group of heroes. Only time will tell, if the lessons will stick.

PowerHindsight
Brody's power is to know how a situation or dilemma could have been prevented after it's happened. It's applications for combat are almost non-existent, but Brody has learned to use it for other purposes. As his power gives him perfect hindsight, Brody's visions give him knowledge that he didn't have prior to it, such as building designs. With this Brody can break into security systems and gather information, provided he has failed once. He has also trained himself to fight using the knowledge granted to him by his power. Failsafe's fighting style is highly efficient, designed to minimize enemy's chances to dodge or counter-attack. He is also a pretty good shot even without the power correcting his aim.

《 H. E. R. O. 》

Sorry this is a bit late, but Here's my villain.

Jake Coulson

Name
Jake Coulson

Code Name
Mr. Gimmick II

Gender
Male

Age
63

Date of Birth
July 18th

Physique
Despite his advanced age, Jake is in good condition, packing some muscle in his 6'2 frame.

As Mr Gimmick, Jake uses a body armor that can be changed and modified depending on the theme he is using at the moment. The default Mr Gimmick costume uses a green colored covers with a red G in the breast plate. The mask consists of a helmet helmet with black goggles. Jake uses a fake blonde goatee attached to the face with theater glue both in this armor and any other costumes he may decide to wear.

Blood Type
O

Occupation
Villain (Junkyard owner in civilian identity)

Side
Villain

Affiliation
None (Formerly Ham & Cheese)

Tier
C

Personality
To Jake, being a supervillain is more than just being a criminal. It's about being an artist, with banks and jewelry stores as canvases and gadgets and powers as brushes. He takes the rules of villainy very seriously and doesn't like it when villains try to take a theme that's already taken. As Mr.Gimmick, Jake uses several themes, but considers it an earned privilege. He also won't borrow another villain's theme without permission. Jake is polite and respectful, both in and out of costume, though his Mr.Gimmick persona is also playful. He tries to act as a parental figure and mentor to younger villains.

As of late he has also began to make supervillainy a movement, a quest to prove that being hero doesn't give you the moral high ground. He also has a deep hatred for Darks (violent antiheroes popular in the 90s), especially after Shadow Spectre incident.

Backstory
Some villains are in it for the money, others for power, and some for the fun. One of the latter was Jake's mentor Henry Walker, the original Mr Gimmick. He was the inventor of the campy supervillain archetype, who broke the law using a certain theme. This fad was quite popular during the 50s and 60s, and what drew Jake into villainy.

Jake became a villain at the age of 13. Back then he was little more than a bullied loser, until he met an older man, who told him about villains and how they did what they wanted and never let themselves get pushed around. From these lessons Jake gained confidence to confront his bullies and defeat them, while also gaining a friend and mentor in the man, Henry.

Eventually Henry retired, leaving Jake to become new Mr. Gimmick. But like his predecessor, Jake is getting old and soon needs to find a successor of his own. But who would be worthy of following such a legacy?

To find a successor, Jake decided to resurrect Ham & Cheese, an organization of campy supervillains from the 60s.
He managed to get himself a bunch of young villains also interested in becoming thrill villains. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worse when Shadow Spectre attacked Ham & Cheese's headquarters. Nobody was killed, but Mr. Gimmick's new proteges were injured and/or traumatized by the event. Now Mr. Gimmick once again works solo, this time to teach heroes the true meaning of good and evil. Legacy can wait until the Heroes of Castleburg have learned their lesson.

Power
Jake is a trained gadgeteer with some adventurer training, including boxing, added in, though he's using the gadgets more and more. Gadgets are designed with interchangeability in mind so that they can be reused multiple times. Jake is a talented escape artist and stage magician, which he uses to escape. He also knows a lot of creating costumes along with gadgets.

Hero comes next.

Otome Game Isekai Bullshit (4-8 Players Desired)

1: How many people are interested in the overall genre, and would like to try a roleplay based on the concept?

@Feyblue

I've been going through Otome Isekais for a while now, and would certainly be interested in an RP of it.

2: If you are interested, how serious would you like the roleplay to be?

Half-and-half is fine... or something like that.

3: If you were to join, what kind of basic role in the "game" plot - like Male lead, villainess noble girl, heroine, heroine's best friend, etc. - would you be most interested in playing, and would you rather be a reincarnator or not?

Although I'd prefer a reincarnator, an in-game is fine as well. As such the villainess or an associate of hers (servant, the "Bad ending" husband, etc.) would be interesting.

4: If you're playing a major character in the "game" plot - like a male lead, for example - how much of the plot of your character's "route" would you prefer to come up with yourself, and how much would you expect me as GM to provide for you?

I think it would be best to discuss it together with the group. I've read enough otome isekai manga to know the tropes/flags/cliches inside out, but I don't want to step on toes.

5: Would you rather do the RP through this site, or through Discord?

Site, definitely site. I'm fine with discord OOC, though.

As far as ideas for the setting are concerned, I'll probably do some kind of medieval fantasy with rare superpowers - blessings from the fairies, elemental magic, something of that sort. Gotta make our various assorted bishies special, after all. Could go the generic route and have some kind of academy setup to justify an anachronistic high school in a medieval european setting, but I dunno about that yet. All I know is that it must obviously be aristocratic in nature and have plenty of opportunities for miscommunication, unwanted engagements, forbidden love, and possibly political assassinations and the ever-looming threat of war if we want to tell a more serious story.

Anyway, since I still don't even know if anyone will be interested in this, better keep it brief, so that's all for now. If you're interested, I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks for reading!

P.S.: I would like to request that if anyone reincarnates as the heroine, please don't just psychotically recite lines trying for the harem end. I know this entire genre is built on cliches and all, but seriously, enough is enough. We don't need any more evil heroines. I dunno, be a male college fratboy reincarnated as a Disney princess instead. Throw me a curveball here. I want to watch the world burn.

Well, if you want something new, I don't think I've seen an Otome Isekai with a jester before, so I could be one, for example.

Or, if the setting feels cliched, you could try space opera. Or add some RPG elements. Or... well, we can come up with something in the OOC. There's so many options.

Surviving in a D-Tier Magical Academy

So, how bad are things in Fae Creek? Are one fifth of the female students pregnant with half-demons, one kid permanently a cat because the school can't afford to change him back and half of the quidditch team riding mops?

Pixie dust is probably contraband in this setting.

Original Unoriginal Isekai MMO World-swap Fantasy RP

Yeah, considering the leveling, we're probably not that bound to D&D or another system. More like we take inspiration from here and there while giving a little original touch.

Original Unoriginal Isekai MMO World-swap Fantasy RP

Both ideas would work well enough. It's all up to you and what you want to play. ^^
Just makes sure you pick something that you enjoy, rather than something you need everyone else needs. If multiple of you want to play similar characters, the same classes or whatever, don't be afraid to do so, there's no "we can only have one of each!"-rule here. :)

@Xaltwind

That's the thing. So many ideas I like go through my head it's hard to pick one, so I wait and see, where to go.

Original Unoriginal Isekai MMO World-swap Fantasy RP

@Chiro
Just as fair warning, if you decide to go for a weak monster-type character, like say a Kobold or Goblin or something else like that, expect the world to be very, very mean to you. Especially humans and human settlements.

@Xaltwind

I expected that much. This is your average isekai world, after all.

Speaking of Kobolds, are they draconic or canine in Oubliette Online?

Constructs like golems or automatons are a no-go though. Unless it's somehting like, a person's soul got trapped/bound to it. But even then I'm not sure about the idea.

Yeah, maybe it was a little too ambitious.

A not so evil villainess? What, like Naga from Slayers? xD

More like the MCs in Otome Game Isekais, where the main character reincarnates into an evil rival character in her favorite dating sim and tries to either avoid the bad ending or make the best of the situation when that happens.

In this context she could be a noble (or otherwise high class) girl who was supposed to marry a prince (maybe the crown prince of Palargia), until she ended up hitting her head. The formerly spoiled brat of a girl became an eccentric and friendly buffoon. Unfortunately the marriage didn't go through after it was decided that the prince couldn't marry a lackwit, not that the girl was that willing to marry anymore. Nonetheless her new personality managed to gain plenty of friends among the higher circle and was welcomed to the palace, although as a jester rather than a princess. The girl however is smarter than she looks, and has for years acted as the Crown Prince's eyes and ears in the court.

Or something like that. Needs refinement.

Class I'd say would be bard.

A beast tamer/beastmaster could certainly work though. Provided they tame beast-like monsters and not things like, say, ogres or giants or vampires and such. ^^

I'll keep that as an option as well. And yes, the monsters she tames are beast-like. Chimera Cubs, Cockatrice Chicks, Kirin Foals, that kind of stuff. Maybe a mimicling or the like on the side.

In general I think I'll take whatever the group shall need to "Balance the party". The weak monster would probably be a healer of some kind.

Original Unoriginal Isekai MMO World-swap Fantasy RP

Worth a try, I'd say.

I might make a character inspired by one of the known isekai archetypes. We already have the "Super-Tank", the all-defense and no attack champion, but there's plenty of more to go.
- A weak monster with lots of potential
- An intelligent object or construct
- A not so evil villainess
- And others I can't remember right now.

Alternatively I could use my idea of a woman who raises and tames monsters.

Waterworld

Docks is fine with me. Musaeum is going to be part of my character's, Andreas' pilgrimage. Depending on the circumstances Musaeum might be his next stop. Alternatively he has finished memorizing his piece of knowledge.
