Crazy Scion

Arena Chat Thread

Another persistent world other then the main multiverse could be good. I'm inspired by a fighting game called skullgirls but stuff is changed. For this roleplay, people have to fight each other in order to find and claim a certain mystical item that grants any wish but in a corrupted way, corrupting the wisher as well, although it does technically fulfill any wish it can. Due to not being called skullgirl the corrupted person won't be called that either, but basically this roleplay's equivalent of a skullgirl gets a huge power boost for winning and must be defeated in order for the next person to get their own wish fulfilled. Being the skullgirl equivalent is an awesome reward for beating all the other players to the prize and you can wreck awesome havoc on all the competition who tries to gang up on you, but you can still potentially be defeated and start the process over.

@ImportantNobody

This actually seems really sad to peruse a wish in hopes of accomplishing a life goal. Only to lose sight of that goal and yourself along the way. I would call it a tragedy.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

@BartimaeusOK Posted. Lets see if paranoia and lack of tacked will be Scions undoing. Also you don't have to force a conflict. If this wouldn't usually shake her, then feel free to take this time to let our characters chat. I still have a few things to drop that may freak her out later.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

As Scion reached the top of the stairs he takes a quick glance around the cabin to spot for anything out of place, but is only met with some first class seating arrangements. "Well I don't see any-" *CRASH* "-one!" Scion yelps as he dives behind the first row of seats to his right. Sarcastic clapping could be heard from the watch as the voice of Dennis chimes in, "It's during these moments that I am reminded why it is so much fun watching you Scion." With a grunt Scion picks his way out of the chairs, all while grumbling to himself, indignantly, about Dennis' indifference to his paranoia. "I believe that noise was from down stairs. You should probably pull yourself together and check it out."

"Would you stop badgering me I can't help it that I'm scared. I've never liked being involved with creepy stuff like this. This crap is like something out an episode of The Twilight Zone, and I usually don't like how those end." Scion slowly starts to shuffle back down the stairs while thinking to himself, "Rod Serling you better not walk around the corner and start narrating my adventure." As he approaches the bottom of the stairs he hears one of the curtains being slid to the side just opposite of the stairs. What he sees next makes his heart stop and his jaw drop as he sees a little girl stepping through the curtain leading to the stairwell and stopping only a few meters from where Scion was at the bottom of the stairs. He ends up standing there starring at her thinking to himself, "Oh my god it wasn't a ghost, but a cute girl. Yes! She's adorable to and...Oh my god she is trapped on this plain with me!" Scion stupor is broken by this realization as he rushes over to the girl and kneels in front of her, and attempts to place his hands on her shoulders, all while asking a frenzy of panicked questions, "Are you OK? How did you get here? Do you know where we are? Where is your family? Are you alone? What's your name? Mines Scion. Are! You! Real!?"

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

OK. I will probably have Scion run into her this post. Lets see how this conversation goes. This is where things get tricky as I sort of need Scion to misread some of the situation, but we will work that out as it comes.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

@BartimaeusCould I potentially get a more detailed description of Shadda? Due to there meeting coming up relatively soon. I am going to assume that given her design. Shadda is cute, but may give off a creepy aura.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

@BartimaeusOK posted. I sort of assumed your character would be towards the back of my plane with my post, but feel free to defy this notion if you want. The captains cabin is on the second floor so Scion is currently there.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

"Dennis where are we?" Scion asked with bit of agitation in his voice as he stared off into the dark clouded skies below.

"I am unable to connect to GPS. This is surprising given it connected just fine before someone decided step onto that abandoned air field." Dennis responds in an equally annoyed tone.

"Listen how was I suppose to know it was cursed! It just looked like any other air field! Just...a but run down." He vision shies away from the watch as he says this.

"It was covered in do not enter signs and even had the words cursed spray painted on top of them. New you have managed to somehow get yourself trapped on an unknown plane flying with no communications over an unknown in an unknown direction." The watch glows red for a second, and Dennis' voice takes on a gentle yet menacing edge "You even managed to get me disconnected."

Scion continues to look away out at the clouds with nothing, but the sound of the creepy roar of the planes dying engine to fill the silence, "Look I am sorry about that. I mean it's not every day that you walk find yourself suddenly whisked away by unknown forces. The fact that whatever the hell brought us here managed to cut you off, even if for only a moment, is a very serious problem. We need to get the hell off this bird, or at the very least, find out where we are." Scion gets up out of his seat and stretches his limbs as he slowly steps into the aisle.

"Here I am pinging the plain with the sonar to try to get a rough layout of the ship." Dennis explains as The watch begins to let out soft ping, "The cockpit seems to be accessible from the top floor. It will probably be your bet for finding out where we are."

"Good work Dennis. I'll take it from here until I find something else." Scion answers as he begins making his way up the stairs. However, he pauses when he notices that Dennis hadn't answered him," Dennis? What's up? Are you still there!?"

"Quiet." Dennis hisses. Scion stands there for several moments trying not make a sound as Dennis had so eloquently instructed. Dennis finally breaks the silence, but the news is not what Scion had been hoping for, "I think there is someone else on the plain with us."

"Oh." was Scion's lame response, "I mean is it the captain?" Scion asks with apprehension in his voice. He didn't have a good feeling about this. This entire plane gave him the creeps already.

"I don't think so. I keep hearing noises all over the plane, but the sonar says nothing is there. Only one target came up solid, but this fuselage seems to be disrupting my signals. I think it's towards the back. I can't be certain if it is up or down though. Proceed with caution."

"Come on Dennis. Aren't I always careful. Heh heh. Eh." Scion's weak laugh dies before it even begins, "I got it." He reaches into his right coat pocket where a small metal chain is clipped to the pocket of his coat. He pulls on the chain and out slips a black tonfa with the chain wrapped around the grip and clipped together. Scion unlatches the chain and tucks it back in his pocket, with smirk on his face he holds the weapon ready to defend against unknown forces. "I am so glad I found that House Key chain. It makes it a lot easier to keep from losing my tonfa in those darn pockets." He says triumphantly.

"I guess it's a shame you didn't think of it sooner. You may have been able to avoid losing the Base Canon and the Solar Staff if you had." Dennis says in a mischievous tone.

Scion's smirk falls right off his face with that comment, and lets out a exasperated sigh, "Way to rain on my parade Dennis. Alright enough dily dallying, and find this mysterious stranger. Whoever you are I am not afraid!" He yells into the plane as he ascends the stairs. Of course one may have doubted his claim if they could see how much his legs were shaking.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

Default Base Scion and Dennis

Default Base Scion and Dennis

Name: Scion AKA Jake West
Age:?
Gender: Male
Race: Human/otherworldly

Base abilities: Ageless and revives in Void upon death

Appearance:


Personality: Scion is a one of a kind genius and simultaneous dumbass with an extremely bad habit of either over-thinking or under-thinking just about everything. His in ability to draw inaccurate conclusions has landed him in hot water countless times. He is also under some kind of self delusion that he is the hero of his own epic story and has taken actions and made leaps of logic based on the idea of story tropes. The delusion is surprisingly not from a lack of sanity, but do to a disconnect from reality Scion suffered in his past. He lives with a slight degree of uncertainty about whether anything around his is actually real. He mostly chooses to ignore these thoughts, but when stressed out they have surfaced as a means to help justify questionable actions. However, for all his faults Scion is generally a nice guy, if a bit overbearing and annoying at times, and wants to help others in need. He is after all a "hero". Scion is very close to Dennis and becomes very distressed when separated from him.

Dennis

Age:?
Gender: Refers to self as male.
Race: AI/Otherworldly

Base abilities: Capable of analyzing and understanding many things and can pick out fine details in the environment. Real form is in void.

Appearance: A very large black band attached to Scions wrist. It resembles a watch, but it is more akin to a mini supercomputer. Armed with every kind if sensor man as ever created from Celsius to X-ray.

Personality: Dennis is a very aloof individual that only ever really gives input when it's requested of him or to berate Scion. Dennis has downloaded and immense source of knowledge directly to his memory and could be easily one of the most knowledgeable existences alive, except the resource he downloaded was the internet. All of it. So without any real way to sort the crap from fact. Dennis is also easily the most misinformed individual one could ever meet, and with only Scion to help him try to sort him out, lets just say Dennis only seems like the more sane one.

Brief back story for Scion and Dennis'(Extended version being worked on.)

Jake AKA Scion was a rich nerdy and lonely engineer. He wanted nothing more then to be understood. He decided that if people didn't understand him, then he would make a machine that did. So he used his knowledge and resources to create Dennis. A machine built to literally understand everything. Jake thought he could be satisfied with this accomplishment, but even with Dennis at his side he still felt lost in his world, and wanted so badly to live somewhere more interesting then his own. So, with Dennis' help and at the cost of all his wealth. He built a machine, a portal, to a new world. So that he could escape this one. However, the machine was not perfect and instead of opening a portal to another universe. It had torn a hole in his own. A hole that ultimately swallowed everyone and everything into it and banished it to nothingness. It was only through Dennis that Jake survived, for Dennis was the only one capable of understanding the Void that they had been cast into and prevent his and Jake's destruction. Jake had wanted to leave, but not end his world and the guilt of its loss weighed heavily on his soul. He chose at this time to go be a different name. One he thought fitting for his situation, "Scion" means son of, but its only part of the title. He was after all. The Scion of nothing now and would just be known as Scion.

The multi-verse portal that Scion had created may have not been perfect, but it was close. Dennis helped Scion reconstructed the portal in Void and through extensive, safety heavy, testing discovered that the reason the portal hadn't worked as intended was because it couldn't connect to a universe if the location of one wasn't specified. So when it had opened a portal to void. It had been quite literally programmed to open a hole to nowhere. They combined the device with Dennis' considerable computation abilities and were able to make it capable of opening a portal to anywhere that Dennis could record the location of. The limitations were that only one portal to another world could be opened at a time or only one could be opened from void into another world. Scion uses the M Device to open gates to new and interesting worlds as well as travel between them to previous worlds. Along with Dennis Scion lives out the life he had intended, but hopes to one day atone for the calamity that he had caused in his home world and prevent others from occurring.

Potential Active Abilities
Can be turned on and off.

Cold Touch #12

Cold Touch

In void ones perception of them self and their desires affects them greatly. Due to an unhealthy obsession with a certain ice fairy, and his inability to be with her due to freezing to death in her presence. His desire to overcome this obstetrical and his belief in the idea that they were meant to be together. Scion's body shifted to be one with the cold. This ability causes Scion's body to emit a cold aura around him, that starts to slowly lower the surrounding temperature. Scion also can cause things to rapidly freeze upon contact with his skin. This change is made more clear due to his noticeably paler completion, hardening clothes, and bits of frost forming on his skin.

Perfect Body #5

Perfect Body

In void ones perception of them self and their desires affects them greatly. Scion's desire to be in control of his body and perceived good athleticism gained him even greater control of his physical state. This ability allows Scion to manipulate his body to be able push itself far past its normal capabilities. He is able to select a bodily function and enhance it. He can only enhance something to a little above peak human or low superhuman, and can only do a few function as a time. Receiving less of an affect when he divides his attention.

Sphere of Influence #11

Sphere of influence

Using the M Device. Dennis can open a portal to the void for thirty seconds every hour. While this portal is open Dennis forces the influence of void into the world and temporarily creates a five foot sphere around the watch in which he can alter the state of the world to be like Void, but without actually being in void. This causes ones thoughts and desires, while in the field, to become reality. This affects all in the field so even others can use this strange effect. However, all effects that occur in the field are undone after leaving the field or when the field is terminated.

Potential Passive Abilities
Always on

Living Zombie #4

Living Zombie

In void ones perception of them self and their desires affects them greatly. Scion's doubt of his ability to survive hostile worlds and desire not die. These thoughts caused Scion's Body to alter itself to be more resistant to death. Scion's body operates much like a zombies would, and can take massive amounts of damage, but still keep going, if a bit slower then before. The down side seems to be that just like a zombie. If his brain is destroyed, then it really is all over.

Ability Skeleton #14

Unbreakable Bones!

In void ones perception of them self and their desires affects them greatly. Due to how excruciatingly painful it is to be crushed and broken. Scion's belief in being a human shield combined with his desire to achieve greater durability. Has led to his body's bones metamorphose into a stronger carbon reinforced compound as well as develop a second skeletal structure surrounding the first one like a protective cage.

The second skeleton is structured as the Eiffel Tower is with several layers of a thin carbon bones arranged to help to support the main bone. This structure greatly increases the amount of force that need to be applied to a bone in order to crush it. This bone structure also helps to disperse force by distributing energy all over the bone and its layers instead of letting it be focused at a single point. If the force applied to a bone was to great to be dispersed and absorbed by whole, then one or more layers of the second skeleton would break to further reduce the damage to the main bone. If layers of the second skeleton are disconnected from the whole, then they immediately began dissolving into the body until they are slowly regrown.

Potential Equipment

Weapons

Force Tonfa #7

Force Tonfa

A black tonga made of a strange light-less metal with a white crystal sphere on the top. This Tonfa, when struck or struck with, will collect kinetic energy, about 10%, and store it. This stored energy can be released at will be the user and be added or subtract from other kinetic forces within the users reach. This function allows it to enhance blows given or reduce ones taken as long as it has enough energy to do so.

Tools

The coat of infinite useless pockets #10

The Pocket Dimension Coat

This amazing yet useless coat is created with it's very own pocket dimension lining the inside of the entire coat and capable of holding anything you can fit through the opening. One would wonder why such a thing could be considered useless I'm getting to that. For starters though, there is no filter, if you put something in the coat then you better remember exactly where you put it, because you may never see it again. The coat is also more akin to a portal then hammer space and if you push something inside it pushes other things out of the way. You at least have the affect that the coat has all the objects inside gravitate towards the portal. However, and this is where the real useless part comes in. It is already full of stuff. I mean an ungodly amount of stuff from all over the world and with multiple copies, and according to Dennis at least 99% of it is useless junk. You could reach into the coat and find anything from a football to an ice sculpture to a live grenade. Great thing about the coat. It preserves an objects state until you draw it again, perfectly alright for charging things, oh wait. You can't even charge your cell phone, because that would alter its state. This has been the coat of a thousand useless pockets.

Hacking Rig #8

Hacking Rig

In the rare instances in which Dennis chooses to Participate in Scion's adventures. Dennis can be equipped with an adaptable connector to allow him to link himself with other electronic equipment and make an attempt to take it over, assuming that the machine isn't sentient like himself, then this is a fairly simple and even quick task for Dennis to perform.

The M Device #9

The Fully Functional M Device

The M Device has now gained the ability to open portals from within the same universe Scion occupies and can now portal to anywhere he has recorded or can be perceived by Dennis. The limitations are that only one pair of portals can be opened at a time, and one has to be within five feet or closer to the watch and the portals cannot be opened in anything solid.

Dreadfall Plane: Scion and Dennis VS Shadda and Cahrtikan

@Bartimaeus OK including the map so we can reference it when needed. I am also posting my modified CS in the CS Tab. I will begin work on a post now, but if you want to post first, then be my guest. I will adapt my post to account for yours.

Hey, figured I'd jump in on this. Tell me what you guys think!

Name: Deadfall

Size: Has a 13-foot wide fuselage, about 120 feet in length from captain’s cabin to the very back of the plane. There are two levels, the passenger section and captain’s cabin as well as a forward and aft cargo compartment, both compartments only around 4 feet tall and very cramped. The plane is 25,000 feet in the air above an ocean. Each wing of the plane is about 1,300 square feet.

Properties:

1. The walls of the plane cannot be punctured, penetrated or otherwise damaged, but it has four emergency exits at the front and back of the plane that can be opened. Depressurization would almost immediately suck all but the strongest combatants in the vicinity outside.

2. The plane is slowly descending toward the ocean at a steady rate, impacting in about 30 minutes.

3. There is one parachute pack each in the aft and forward cargo compartments.

4. Combatants, were they to go outside the plane, have no given abilities of flight, but can maneuver and grab for the plane with more control and agility than would typically be afforded under typical circumstances, as far as physics are concerned.

Player Capacity: 2-4 players

Description : An old, 1950s 707 with no pilot and no passengers. The metal on the wings and fuselage is old and rusted, and the engines smoke and emit a droning, immensely loud rumbling that sounds like the distant grinding of a hundred souls. There is a dark, grey storm brewing all around the plane, making it impossible to see where it is going, and through the clouds one can barely make out the sight of black, churning waters below.





Flavour Text: The very existence of this plane is an enigma, its intent and origin utterly unknown. From the ethereal, muffled noises like shuffling entities coming from the underfoot cargo compartments to the pilot’s cabin that emanates an ice-cold chill, any combatants unlucky enough to find themselves battling aboard will be almost instantly overcome with a ghostly sense of anxiety, doom and superstition.

Well I can stand a side for a bit if this thread with Star, Gun, and Vordak is taking a lot of focus. If not I don't mind starting a thread with the OOC and character sheets so that we can begin work on the RP.
