Awesome! Glad to see someone interested! If you have any questions/suggestions feel free to let me know.

Ether: A Mythological Battle Anime RP

An ancient warrior caste, the Order of Ether, is destined to battle in obscurity with the demons of the Ether (referred to as the Otherworld by most civilians). For ages, Ether samurai have raised their blades to protect the borders between our world and the next. The tale of the Ether is not one of triumph, but one of sorrow...of sacrifice.

For tapping into the Ether, the realm of demons and Gods, is a taxing commitment. The Ether grants its chosen with incredible powers, but it also feasts on the body until it has consumed its prey whole. In order for a samurai to call upon the Ether they must trap within them a beast from the depths and crags of the very realm that fight against. Many recruits do not survive this initiation process.

Know that you do all of this land a great service by lending us your talents. This mission, while daunting, is of utmost importance to the realm. Though you sacrifice your body your will shall live on for centuries after the tangible and physical fall away. You are the newest members of the Order of Ether, survive your initiation, and you will gain power and wisdom unattainable to the average man.



Hey there! I hope this has caught your interest! This is an RP that I've really been wanting to work on for a while. I've tried to kick-start a few RPs on this site before, but they all tend to end before they can truly start. To remedy this, I'll be looking to host a smaller group of players that are genuinely interested in the concept.

Synopsis

Essentially, the story is inspired by stories like Bayonetta and Dragon Age (particularly the Grey Wardens) or Japanese (and some Greek) mythology. You'll be creating a new initiate that has been called to join (or voluntarily joined, your choice) the Order of Ether. This mysterious samurai caste is held in high regard by the people of the realm despite the fact that most aren't entirely sure what purpose they serve (this has brought into question the need for their existence).

In reality, the Order has been tasked to protect our realm from bleeding into the Ether (via rifts, summoning magics, rituals, demonic possession, etc.) Your characters will gain the ability to tap into the Ether (which is a twisted reflection of our own world) where they will battle demons, creatures, oni, etc. These creatures of the Ether are invisible to the average human (unless brought into this world through some means).

Your Character

It'll be up to you to do a bit of digging into ancient mythologies (mostly Japanese, but if it makes sense we can certainly pull from other mythologies too) to find the creature/demon/etc. that your character will pact with in their initiation. This will determine the ability they get (also decided by you). Just make sure the pact creature can somehow be related to the power you get.

Below is a rough draft of a character sheet if you'd like to get started early! Just be sure to place your character sheet in a hider! Please let me know if you think anything should change with this character sheet.

Theme Song

Of course, because this is heavily influenced by anime- there has to be an awesome theme song! The song I chose to represent the story is called Run to the Future by Cyntia.

Check it out, here!

I like the character, feel free to post when you get the chance!

Overwatch: Resurgence

@AlternateMan: I like the character concept, though maybe we could make some tweaks. I feel that the 'Decontamination Pad' is a bit too similar to Soldier's. Since he's meant to be an assault offensive, he still would need some sustain. I propose that you use something that fits with his character theme. Perhaps he has a nerve gas that can debuff or slow enemies, and can give Quarantine a small spike heal.

This could allow for escapes (for both you and the team) and can serve to heal you so you can stay in the fight (even if you might need to step back). With that being said, he does feel a bit more like a defensive character. You could even use his Disruption Bomb as a powerful variant of Hanzo's 'Sonic Arrow'. Plus with the proposed move, he'd have area denial and since he has a larger health pool- he could more reliably defend an objective. He'd be one of those pesky characters that the rest of the team struggles to take down in an objective (See: Mei, Lucio, and Tracer) from how you describe his weapon and his abilities.

Though these are just some suggestions, feel free to let me know what you think. Either through here or in a PM. Thank you for your interest, and I really enjoy your character concept.

Edit: Also please don't think that these are the exact tweaks you have to make. These are just some ideas I had based on your concept, and how it reads for me in-game. If you have more ideas or anything like that, like I said, let me know. :)

Overwatch: Resurgence

I'm willing to allow another person to join, but we'd need your character submission ASAP.

Overwatch: Resurgence

Okay, so I have this:

Buster's Abilities

Combat Role: Support
Sub-class: Defensive Tank
Health: 350 (250 Shields) (100 Health)
Having been a member of the military, Buster has access to similar particle technology with that of Zarya. Said technology was created as a means of maintaining durability for oneself and for allies. Buster has maximized this technology to serve as the most durable healer we’ve seen thus far.
Ability 1: Syphon - Buster’s particle shielding absorbs incoming damage and redistribute said damage into a burst heal for nearby allies, and himself.
Ability 2: Health Pylon- Buster plants a small pylon into the ground. Said pylon does 14 points of AoE healing per second to nearby allies. The Pylon has 125 health points (100 health and 25 armor).
Ability 3: Alternate Shot- Unlike other characters, Buster must actually switch to his alternate means of fire. This takes 1 second to do. (You would use the primary and alternate trigger buttons to switch back and forth).
Primary Fire: Blitz Canon: A particle arm-canon that shoots medium-sized particle spheres out at enemies. The projectile speed is a bit slower than D.Va’s pistol, but Buster can shoot multiple rounds per second allowing for multiple incoming projectiles to deter encroachment.
Type: Linear projectile
Damage: 20 per projectile
1 projectile shot
Projectile speed: 30 meters per second
Rate of Fire: 5.3 rounds per second
Ammo: 30 rounds
Reload Speed: 1.5 seconds
Secondary Fire: Blitz Spread: The obtuse barrel of the canon switches to the side, allowing Buster to shoot four (albeit slower and weaker) particle rounds in a fan-like spread. The weaker concentration of energy allows for this spread to pass through constructs such as Reinhardt’s shield. It is still absorbed by an enemy Zarya’s particle shields.
Type: Linear projectile
Damage: 13 per projectile
4 projectiles
Projectile Speed: 12 meters per second
Ammo Usage: 4 rounds per shot

Passive: Particle Restoration- Much of Buster's health pool consists of shields, and thus can replenish over time.

Strengths: An incredibly durable healer. While healers like Ana, Mercy, and Zenyatta rely on maintaining distance, Buster serves best as a healer on the front lines. High health pool, and a spike healing capability. With that being said, an Ana could benefit from a well-placed Health Pylon- as she could remain relatively close to the combat and have a means of sustaining herself.

Buster would work well with a tank hero. Buster is an off-tank support hero that relies on being in the thick of combat. We excels with proper barrier placement from Zarya, some protection from Reinhardt ‘s or D.Va’s shields, or added fire power from Roadhog. Unlike other healers, he isn’t as easily bullied around by Winston. His ‘Syphon’ ability can help his allies make quick work of enemy flankers, but he is susceptible to a flanker when alone.

Weaknesses: Like most Tank characters, Buster is countered big time by Reaper (or characters like him). While his ‘Syphon’ ability can certainly help against a flanking Reaper, the character’s damage output is just too powerful to overcome without help from allies. Buster would be an obvious target for snipers in that he has a larger hit-box and is a support. However, Buster's health pylons are an even more obvious target for enemy snipers and flankers.

Unlike Zarya's particle beam, Buster has a particle projectile and thus it can be deflected by an enemy Genji. He also requires another tank to support the team on most occasions.

I wanted to create a character that can work as a healer who doesn't need to have another healer, but can definitely benefit from it. As well, I wanted this hero to be a sort of hybrid of tank and support, but was still obviously served as a support as their primary function. I tried to create a balance between the durability of a tank and the fragility of a healer.

With that being said I am having a lot of trouble coming up with an ult that matches this balance and represents the character's abilities. If anyone could provide some feedback or some help regarding the ult, it'd be greatly appreciated :)

Overwatch: Resurgence

There isn't really an evil support yet. I'm wondering if I should make this support a villain... hmm

Overwatch: Resurgence

Well my plan was to just fill in the roles no one else wanted to play, as I typically do in Overwatch, but I may whip up a character profile.

Overwatch: Resurgence

Haha awesome posts so far! I wish I could create a character. I had an idea for a support character that would serve as an off-tank (good with damage absorbing, but not good at dealing damage) as well. I'd be super interested to get feedback, though, if anyone would be interested.
