Well, since you wanted me here, Vita... XD
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: "I wonder if there's treasure around..."
Personality: Tamaki is a cheerful gal who goes about being dynamic and bombastic, often times puttering around with what seems like limitless amounts of energy. She is direct and to the point, often lacking in anything known as subtlety due to her blunt honesty. She is also stubborn- not giving up on something when she put her mind to work on it, though she's not inflexible in her way of thinking and is of very broad mind and thinking. The girl also tends to have an extremely creative mind that is fertile enough to support a wide variety of daydreams and strange imaginings, essentially making her a cloud cuckoolander.
Abilities: Besides the basic Reinforcement magic, Tamaki's affinity has and always will be "Gems" and such her magic has a lot to do with the eponymous shiny rocks. With this particular affinity, the girl a scrying spell that works best when her target is near or has any sort of jewelery whatsoever. Besides her treasure scrying ability, she can push Mana into gems much faster than any other object and use it as a reserve, much like a stockpile of one ammunition. And finally, due to her being very close to her Affinity, she can temporarily access the attributes of the factors that were used to create gems, mainly "Heat" and "Pressure". With "Heat" she can somewhat make things hotter or colder than they should be by touching them with her hands. For "Pressure", Tamaki can do such things as Bind things she hits for a moment as well as use it to crush things with great force upon impact or throw things from afar with much more piercing power than they should have.
Skills: Well versed in gymnastics, various Chinese Martial Arts (particularly Baguazhang and Piguaquan), Asian cooking styles, and very good at inscribing patterns upon surfaces.
Equipment: Tamaki will always carry around a plethora of jewelery such as earrings, rings and so on, all filled to the brim with Mana in many varieties such as opal, alexandrite, sapphire, and so on. Also on hand is a very large diamond necklace that aren't particularly used for anything but as a particularly large mana battery and used for her more draining spells. All the gems she carries about on her has minute inscriptions carved upon the metal bearings that they are attached to, the better to direct her spells with as well as an effect that redirects most regular people's attentions away from otherwise eye-grabbing bling.
Brief Backstory: Tamaki's family is a particular eccentric clan of treasure hunters, driven by the need to go around the world and amass great wealth not due to greed, but for the simple thrill of collecting a prize after going through a hard challenge. Like any Asagami, Tamaki has the burning ambition to comb the world and amass the best of treasures, particularly gems. With her Affinity, it was rather easy for the girl to amass her current small but steadily growing collection, the majority of what she finds being sold off to provide for those less fortunate than herself and those of the highest carat being put in her personal collection. Due to traveling about in places that could well be described as dangerous and off the beaten path, the girl has plenty of combat experience despite her young age. Currently, the world wanderer has come back to Japan and settled down in Rokuro for the time being, her scryings telling her that there were treasures and challenges to be had in this place... Which pretty appealing to a thrill-seeking Asagami.

I'm still in it to win it!
@Comrade Doge Yeah, that's fine.
@Green Rhapsody With those nerfs in place, Jade is totally accepted! Woo!~
And everyone who can't post due to real life, don't worry. RL always comes first, okay? Just make sure to pop back in every now and then to say whether or not you'd still like to be in the game so I can plan accordingly.

@Comrade Doge Yeah, you can react to NPCs. Just don't make any that make a plot without GM approval.
Also generally in games like this, quite a few people might take two to three days to post, so don't get too impatient, y'all. XD

@Trevor1001 Just react to the exposition from the latest GM post after you have your character drop down from the sky. It's pretty easy to hop in at that point.
@Comrade Doge Also yeah, can you explain about the eye? Does it link to a database full of bounties from his world or something? Because if that's the case, scanning everyone else logically won't bring anything up since they aren't native to his dimension.

@Trevor1001 Accepted then, welcome aboard.
GM post is also up. We're so close to getting to the meat of the game now...~

Mahora
Ever smiling in a knowing way, the proprietress of the eatery seemed to blur for a bit after she heard everyone's suggestions before coming back and setting down platters of suddenly cooked food down with a flourish. No one knew exactly what happened and how she got the food out, save for the fact that before she moved a pocket watch she had on her person briefly flashed. What was set down were indeed genuine Chinese cooking, though with a bit of a twist for the more picky eaters. Chun-Li got her lo mein with plenty of fresh spring vegetables and springy noodles that were fried with a fragrant aroma along with chunks of firm, juicy chicken mingled among the dish. Donkey Kong got all sorts of banana based foodstuffs ranging from banana-nut pancakes to banana fritters and even sweet banana soup. Wario... well, he got a whole bunch of extra strength shrimp in garlic sauce and garlic chicken over garlic rice. Krieg simply got what looked like a large doggy bag filled with random kitchen scraps like bones with bits of gristle and meat still stuck on it and vegetable peels thrown inside. "Thank you for coming over to our Chao Bao Zi. The first time will always be free.~" That ever enigmatic smile continued to show on her face, the girl waited a bit before everyone was comfortable before giving out much needed exposition. Somehow, people would get the feeling that she enjoyed doing so.
"In any case, you are all here in the City due to a very enigmatic being called the Viewer. From information I've gathered from my own tenure here, this place seems to be a small self contained country drifting in between fully established universes and dimensions. It is called the City simply because no one could decide on what to call it otherwise, and thus this compromise. Generally, people and things are brought in at random whenever the City grows, which is daily. Sometimes though, special key players happen to be dragged into the mess and given a bit more privileges than the rest. That would be you all. Simply put, you're "main characters" who are to provide the Viewer with entertainment." At this, Chao's smile finally faded away, revealing a bit of a grimace that was much at odds with her earlier cheerful attitude. "You're to do certain tasks while you're here and should you succeed in such, you are rewarded by the Viewer himself. You can also choose to disregard the missions, but I would advise you take it so you can receive things such as supplies and special equipment rather than having to scrounge about the place for them yourselves. Generally, you're only here for a month before you get sent home though surviving is easier said than done, due to the fact that the very place itself will try to challenge you. At the end of all this, the Viewer himself will come out and send back those who finished his challenge."
Having finished his family sized platter, Ranma quietly took it all in for a moment before his face scrunched up and a glower came onto his youthful countenance. "So we're here for some big yahoo to watch like we're a tv program." His words was scathing and a certain amount of heat could be felt, as well as overall disgust. The pigtailed teen was used to being manipulated, for sure, but this? This was something that truly angered him. Not least the fact that the idiot in charge seemed to drag in children and people that couldn't even defend themselves! "...I'll play along for now, if only so at the end of all this I can wallop that jerkass in the face for all this. And to help out the rest... Not everyone is used to crap like this like I am." Rubbing his pigtail and mumbling that last word, the boy averted his eyes the gathered beings. Though he still kept a thorough eye on Krieg, waiting to see if the man would start something while idly hefting the large and substantial disc in his hand as if he was contemplating throwing it.
Roanapur
"This is Roanapur. Violence and dirty deeds are all in high demand here." Smirking as she enjoyed the ballsiness of the newcomers, Balalaika then let out what she knew about the place. Much like Chao said, though with a lot more mocking and jadedness thrown in. "Basically, we're all trapped birds dancing about in the Viewer's palms and only certain people can escape like you all. At the very end of the month, He himself will come out of that ridiculous tower to greet the survivors. And that is when we have the best chance to kill him, since he'll have exhausted the majority of his powers for self gratification and frivolousness." An absolutely feral smile came onto the normally languid woman's face, the thought of offing a god appealing mightily to her. "In the meantime, Roanapur beckons. You all seem capable, so simply get whatever you need from the common riffraff with any method you like so long as you don't cause too much problems. This is Hell, where the strong eat the weak and morals are naught but chains of hypocrisy. And come tomorrow morning, things will get hectic and the games shall commence. Won't that be interesting?" Dark chuckles emerged once more, this time with a hint of bloodlust.

@Azakma Roger roger.
GM post will be up tomorrow. In general I'll prolly post every two to three days unless people go really fast and the majority responds, in which case I'll immediately respond and move the plot along.
Also it seems that a couple of player haven't really shown up at all despite signups, so I might need a list of dropouts and plan from there.

@Azakma I just noticed you put Clementine in the more villainous side instead of the lighter side. Do you want me to help handwave her into Mahora or are you okay with the girl being in the really seedy piratey city full of degenerates and ne'er do wells?
