Mr X?

Sam Heart

Name: Samuel Alexander Heart

Alias: (not friends)The Highwayman, (friends)Sam/Sammy/Sammo/Samsta

Age: 30

Nationality: Australian

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sam is a very large individual standing at 2.21 meters and weighing around 136 kilograms. While he's not a hulking beast like Zangief, he is still packing a lot of muscle under his bulky coat. Speaking of, the man almost never takes off his clothes, and when he does he's always discrete about it making sure people don't see his malformed body underneath. If you were to see under his highwayman getup you'd be greeted with the sight of pale grey flesh, Sam's skin seems to both sag and be firm at the same time. Sam's face is also not the prettiest thing to look at having creases and wrinkles everywhere, the only redeeming quality being his deep blue eyes, and remarkably well kept black hair.

History: Sam's early life was nothing particularly special for an Aussie farm kid, he did all the normal boy things like go to school and play with friends. Sam always saw himself as a farm boy though, never once did his mind every stray from wanting to take over the family farm. The only thing that rivalled his determination to take over the family business was his love of folk tales, especially ones about the mysterious and magical ways of the indigenous Australian people or the wild outlaws like Ned Kelly.

It was only in his mid-twenties did something in Sam's life drastically change. By this point, Sam had taken the helm of the family farm and was looking for a girl who'd be willing to marry him, but he'd also noticed that all the normal jobs he did around the farm were getting harder. Originally he thought it was just that he was getting older, but after doing a quick bit of research online he found out that the body didn't start to degrade for at least a few more years. So Sam went to get himself looked at see what was wrong, this is when Sam's life got flipped upside down.

Sam was diagnosed with ALS. He only had a projected 3 more years to live, though he was encouraged with statistics of those who'd managed to outlive their expiration dates by many years. None of that mattered to Sam, it didn't matter if he lives 3 more years or 6 more years, either way, his life had just been cut short. This is what lead Sam to start seeking out every kind of treatment he could find on the internet, looking up all the hospitals that offered special ALS treatment. But none of them worked. Transplants, nerve therapy, nothing. He'd spent 2 of his three remaining years trying to find a way to beat his condition, and he was running out of options.

Desperate for a cure Sam started looking in less and less savoury locations, eventually finding himself in contact with some people who were doing... Kida sorta super illegal genetic testing, with dangerous chemicals and compounds, deemed unsafe for medical use. This of obviously wasn't a concern for Sam anymore, who at this stage was struggling to speak let alone walk. The only thing that mattered to him was the incredible 100% success rate that these people had, and it really didn't matter if they were lying or not at this point, for Sam it was do or die. Funny thing is the 100% success rate wasn't a lie at all, they just neglected to mention the horrible mutations and side effects that came with their cure.

After his 'cure' Sam decided to make a new name for himself, modelling himself of the many outlaws and highwayman that he'd loved as a kid. Roaming the countryside surviving of what little scraps of food he was able to plunder, and looking for a way to live in his prison of a body. That's when Eve Roulette made contact with him and proposed he help her clean the planet of some filth. Not having any reason to refuse Sam accepted Eve's offer.

Personality

Motivations: Sam just wants to find a new life, maybe meet some people he could call friends. And the thought of pounding on some low life shit stains is also quite appealing.

Sexuality: Straight. Though he's pretty sure he's not cut out for that kind of thing anymore.

Likes:

• Animals
• Horse tranquillizer
• The country
• Kids
• Large doorways

Dislikes:

• Cameras
• Fragile objects
• Impatient people
• Running

General: Sam used to be a cheery outgoing gentleman before the mutations, he was always ready to meet new people and chat. Now he's much more reserved preferring to keep to himself despite his deep longing for companionship. He's also a lot more of a, punch now talk never kind of guy, he's the dude who'd just walk up to the villain while they did their evil monologue and just punch them in the face. When he is in a conversation with someone he tends to prefer grunts and gestures over speaking, mostly because it's hard for him to speak because of his condition.

Fighting Arts

Skills:
Stew cooking god- This man can make a half decent stew out of practically anything. Who knows what kind of stuff he could whip together with proper ingredients.

Tall- Can always reach the top shelf.

Fighting Style: Sam isn't an experienced fighter in the slightest, relying on his brute force and durability to come out on top in battle. While nothing beats a solid punch, Sam knows that he's very slow and tries to overpower his opponents with grapples or by intentionally taking hits so he can get an opening for a counter attack.

Sam's mutations did a lot more than fix his crippling weakness and fatigue, in fact, they improved his musculature and made him much much stronger than the ordinary man, able to perform great feats of strength. Hitting Sam wouldn't feel that much different from hitting a block of steel, this is not only because he's a totally jacked unit but also because his muscles are always tensed. This tension is a side effect from his mutation attempting to repair the neural links between his muscles and his brain. His body also repairs itself at an abnormally fast rate, around three times faster than normal. So his healing is quick comparatively, but it's not going to be saving his skin in the middle of a fight.

Weaknesses:
The Chad stride- Because of Sam's constantly flexed muscles he has to actively fight against his body in order to get it moving, this, in turn, makes him tediously slow. Anyone who can jog and has half a brain could avoid Sam almost indefinitely.

Dam boi he thicc- Sam is a big guy, no question about that but in combat size doesn't always mean everything. Especially considering how slow he is, Sam struggles with projectiles most of the time his only option being to take the hit.

Special Techniques:

• Knock knock- Sam holds out his hands ready to catch the next attack throw his way. If a melee attack connects with Sam (Be it fist or sword) Sam will clamp his hand down on the attack and then pull the foe into a powerful punch. (Doesn't work against projectiles)
• Pop pop- Sam aim's low swiping at an opponents legs in an attempt to grab them. If this connects Sam will pull his opponent's leg into the air before swinging them up then slamming them into the ground. (Think what Hulk did to Loki in the avenger's movie but only one time.)
• Fight these tears- Sam pulls his head back before performing a powerful headbutt ignoring attacks along the way. (Super armour headbutt basically.)

Super Arts: Gon' give it to ya- After a brief windup Sam charges forward tackling anyone unfortunate enough to be caught in his way. Sam will grab onto the target so they can't escape and run them into the nearest wall or hard obstacle. After brutally slamming them into said wall/obstacle he finally lets them go dropping them to the floor... But I'm not done yet! Sam then leans down and grabs both his opponents legs and pick them up before slamming them lengthways into whatever obstacle he rammed them into earlier.

Exp: 0

Equipment: Same is a wanderer, nothing but the clothes on his back and the hat on his head.

Other: Sam may or may not be ticklish behind his right ear.

I definitely like him! But he’s missing something. ;) Read the OOC again.

My Entry

Chris Falcon

Name: Christopher Falcon
Alias: "The Street Samurai of Brazil"
Age: 19
Nationality: Brazil
Gender: A boy, as girly as he looks like.
Appearance: A somewhat tanned skintone with blue eyes and a smooth, straight black hair that goes a bit down further his waist. His body is somewhat slender, but with the results of rigorous training and some scars that are the consequence of his fighting life. Far from being a body builder, but with some muscle developed - as far as his rather androgynous appearance goes. His clothing consists mostly of a tanktop, a pair of gloves, the common "baggy pants" used by Ninja and a pair of tabi. Hair is always kept in a ponytail, as both as a matter of preference and practicality.

History: Kurenai-Ryu dojo has a bit of history in both Japan and Brazil - formed by descendants of Hanzo Hattori and Kirigakure Saizo, they were nearly extinct by the time that Japan had the Meiji Restoration. However, practitioners who kept the tradition alive spread the ways of the dojo to every country they could. Cue the Japanese mass imigration of 1908 and a few Kurenai Ryu representatives spreading around from the moment they got off the Kasato-Maru.

More than a century later, A certain pretty boy who's been training on the style since childhood managed to make quite a name for himself. Little is known about his origins or his true identity, except he was adopted by the Kurenai Ryu masters and showed a natural talent for it. When he started witnessing a skyrocket in crime rates, at first, he used his knowledge to protect himself. Then, when a former student of the Dojo with a grudge came in, stormed the place and started a smearing campaign on the internet, Chris decided to take matters into his own hands. After taking care of the salty ex-student, he was approached by a livestreamer and offered an interesting proposal: Beating up thugs and nasty mutants known as the "Rakshasa" for the crowds on social media to have something to watch while he could easily clean up the name of his school.

And soon, Eva Roulette got her attention on the "Street Samurai of Brazil" and the large fanbase he earned.

Personality

Motivations: His main motivation are the vows to his dojo, and a bit of a personal enjoyment in being a vigilante himself.
Sexuality: He's straight to the point of beating men when they attempt to flirt with him.
Likes:

• Reading. His favorite authors are Sun Tzu and Ludwig Von Mises
• Cute animals, like Hamsters, Raccoons and Squirrels.
• Cookies and Coffee

Dislikes:

• Guys hitting on him
• Television
• Alcohol

General: Pretty chill guy, even though problems come to hit him hard. He's far from being the stoic, arrogant martial arts expert and a compassionate at times. He's not bloodthirsty, even though he loves the thrills of a good fight. He can easily get bored when he has to deal with mundane, slice of life situations where "nothing interesting happens at all".

Fighting Arts

Skills: He's an agile traceur, able to use online technology with ease and stealth to an extent.
Fighting Style: Kurenai-Ryu is a style of Ninjutsu that was created by the descendants of Hanzo Hattori and Saizo Kirigakure after Ieyasu unified Japan. With the ban of weaponry in the 16th century, only special agents of the Shogunate were able to practice the arts. It faced a decline in the Meiji restoration era, but it returned with full force when Ninja movies became a fad in 1980's.

Kurenai Ryu focuses in taijutsu, mostly in the use of kicks and leg-based grappling to pin down and strike opponents. The strikes focuse on hitting the pressure points that could immobilize enemies or bring them off-balance while grappling is a way to "beat a bunch of bastards using this bastard". Kurenai Ryu ninjas also use a lot of Chi, but instead of shooting, they channel it to enhance their durability and strength, making legs stronger than steel.

Weaknesses: Being a leg-based martial art, expect him to be in a big disadvantage if he can't kick. And Kurenai Ryu is focused in fighting against large numbers of foes at once, so he's not quite the best in ring battles.
Special Techniques:

• Oborozuki: A somersault kick that hurls the opponent upwards.
• Seiryuu no Mai: A stylish three hits combo that is executed in the air, tossing the opponent back in the last blow.
• Shirohebi: A grapple with the legs. Opponents hit by this will get themselves swirling and slammed to the ground.

Super Arts: Kirin Matsuri Kyaku: Chris darts around in a Pentagram-like movement, stunning enemies. Then he jumps up and kicks down, Kamen Rider style, which ends with a big burst of chi.
Exp: 0
Equipment: A few shuriken he carries with him, in case he needs to keep enemies at bay.

Other: While he has a background as an internet celebrity, it doesn't interfere much on personal interactions - I don't intend to make this character be a victim of the fame tampering with his views, but rather as a rather energetic young lad. Characters who are familiar with livestream are a bonus for interaction and, while I prefer having the concept simple, room for social development is always welcome. For a personal motif, go with Loud Faith, by T.Stebbins.

As a beat'em up Junkie myself, both the games that range from the old-school arcades and the more modern, fresh takes on the genre are equal in my book. My favorite old-school entry in the genre is TMNT Hyperstone Heist, and in the modern age, I'll stick with the Musou games. Even the Non Koei Tecmo ones like Fate Extella Link.

@Kurisu Shiruba

With these edits in place, Chris is good to go.

Only 2 more character spots left, guys.

Fighting King: Brawl in the Streets

Light

Light

Name: Light Void
Alias: N/A
Age: '25'
Nationality: The Void
Gender: Lady
Appearance: 1.7m, 60 kilos, her only set of clothing is her top as her dress is attached to her body. Much like a shark she has sharp teeth she can easily replace. Her ears can fold and move up and down, she'll usually do this subconsciously depending on her mood. Her fingers and feet are very sharp so she is careful with them. Otherwise she looks much like her picture, bottom heavy and all.
History: Light comes from the Void, you know, the place where all those eldritch creatures you hear of with tentacles and mouths and eyes everywhere that eat the sanity of people. Of course she isn't anything like that, which would disappoint the cultists that summoned her to this realm if they didn't need to do a suicide pact to complete their ritual.
Being from the Void, Light has access to a lot of knowledge, and didn't really need to do much to learn the way to act or speak in this physical world. All she had to do was make a disguise from herself to stop the people running away from her so she could explore this new world of wonders. A world of food, fun, and lots and lots of people with lives and stories to tell! While the Void was a nice place to be, this was a fun change of pace.
Of course having a wide eyed outlook on the world and a trusting personality gets you in all sorts of trouble with local criminals and everything, who end up regretting thinking she was an easy mark. Soon Light gained a bit of a rep in the underworld of this strange disguised figure that came off as a naive girl that turned out to be some kind of monster that guns didn't stop, like something out of a horror book. Light herself didn't go looking for a fight, but when you wander into the odd alleyway out of curiosity or cause a commotion at a crime family restaurant because you sort of look like a detective and your luck causes a scene involving a spork and an icecube, well...
This word eventually made its way along the grapevine to Eve Roulette, who was interested in this strange girl who fought crime and was said to be immune to bullets. Seeing as Light wasn't that far from New Carona, the rumors of her activities coming from only a few cities over, it wasn't that hard for her to find a lady in a typical trenchcoat getup but wearing a mask instead of sunglasses considering Light tended to frequent the same few restaurants. Being called by Eve with the promise of food, Light made her way there and would soon meet her new partners in crime fighting.

Personality

Motivations: Light's motivations are pretty simple. Fun, Food, and Friends. She isn't interested in status or wealth, but will not fight against those things as she knows they do lead to what shes really into.
Sexuality: Open
Likes:

• Food, especially Meat.
• Music
• Games

Dislikes:

• Cruel people
• Edgelords
• Churches (Shes more afraid of them than hates them, and even she will admit her fear is irrational.)

General: Light is a fun loving, peppy, very happy person who is just here to have fun. She is incredibly slow to anger, and will take losing a fight with excitement, or will be very honorable/consoling when she wins. She will try to make friends with people, almost to the point of annoying them. Lacking any real malice or care, she will usually accept what she hears as truth if it isn't too obvious of a lie, but even then she wont act upon what she's learned fully. While she can come off as an airhead, behind that facade is someone who is deviously intelligent and observant, and will use her fun loving persona and observant nature to often point out things as jokes that seem far-fetched, but are actually true. Sometimes much to the confusion of the people around her, Light will talk about something alien, usually breaking the 4th wall while doing it. She'll do this sometimes for a joke, sometimes as an offhanded remark, or just sometimes on accident.

Fighting Arts

Skills:

• Unintentional Silver Tongue: Light is very good at reasoning and has a silver tongue because of it, but if this is intentional or not is hard to say for anyone who knows her.
• Excellent Acrobat: Due to needing to balance on what are essentially spikes all her life, Light has an insane sense of balance and is very hard to knock off balance.
• Song and Dance: Light can sing and dance, although its a bit alien in how she does this. Especially singing, she tends to not sing in public all that much due to tending to sing in Eldritch.
• R'Lyehian Language: English isn't Light's first language, Eldritch is.

Fighting Style: Since she is a creature from the Void, she has a few eldritch abilities such as insane regeneration, enhanced strength, and the power of the Void itself. Light fights playfully instead of anything serious, using a more cartoony style that involves basic punches and kicks, trading blows, rushes, and grapples in the form of hugs, she loves hugs. Although her fighting style can be seen as a bit simple, her enhanced strength and regeneration allows her to trade blows and get away with stuff she shouldn't be able to. Additionally she can call upon the power of the Void, stealing the light and soul from the air around her and from her opponent to fuel these abilities. Be careful of those hugs!

• Regeneration: Light has outstanding regenerating properties, and can regenerate from nearly any injury including having her head cut off, being melted, being turned to ash, and lots of other nasty things. She can regenerate from mental attacks and magic attacks, but these take longer to heal. She can freely attach severed limbs, and if her head is severed she can still sort of control her body for a little while. This doesn't stop her from getting hurt, and with enough damage or pain she'll go unconscious.
• Eldritch Strength: Light has enhanced strength relative to her frame, and her strength is difficult for even an engineered human to match.
• Void Touch: Being from the Void, Light saps away the light and soul of the world. As long as she touches something, it starts to slowly lose its soul, signified by a creepy feeling when she touches someone. The more of their soul that she siphons away, the more paranoid and fearful they will become. If the person stops touching Light, they'll slowly regain their soul and unless the whole soul is taken, they can heal back their soul fully from the point where Light started touching them with no lingering effects. While this does no damage, it fuels her void abilities. If someone loses their soul entirely, they'll be devoured by the Void. Thankfully this takes a long time. Energy/magic barriers lose their effect very quickly however, often being made of the light she tends to devour.

Weaknesses:

• Manufactured Weakness: Since Light is a bit of Eldritch and Demon, being from the Void, she is very easily bound by anything man-made. So while she can easily break out of say, vines or spider silk; ropes, tape, chains, and string or anything that was manufactured she has an extremely difficult time dealing with. Additionally manufactured chemical attacks have a greater effect on her, although she can eventually build up an immunity to something if exposed to it for too long.
• Unlucky: Being a creature of the Void, the physical world finds her detestable and will do what it can to make her go away. This gives Light some insanely bad luck, to the point where it can be almost comical.
• Silly Persona: Light is so cheery and fun loving that she refuses to use her more lethal ways of attacking as they would mean there wouldn't be anyone left to play with her. This personality of hers also makes her very gullible, as while she does understand good and bad, she just doesn't care and is just along for the ride. Plus if the other person can offer her a good reward, she'll often take the job if it doesn't involve her killing innocents. Shes also incredibly easy to talk down most of the time, even mid fight.
• Soft Terrain Issues: Light has difficulty moving on soft terrain due to her sharp feet.

Special Techniques:

• Sharp Void: Light dashes through her opponent while cloaked in void energy. While dashing, Light is immune to everything and will pass through energy and living things, damaging them as if she had actually slashed them. Has a cooldown between uses, which is reduced every time she damages someone. If used while on cooldown, she'll dash forward but wont go through anything and is fully vulnerable. Her enemies will know when its off cooldown as she'll look like shes passively 'stealing' pure darkness from the air.
• Focused Regeneration: Light focuses and heals herself after a short time.
• Void Rift: Light slashes the air to open a rift. She can pass through this rift to teleport somewhere along her sightlines. Only Light herself and things she is wearing can pass through this rift.

Super Arts: "A bad time.": Light asks for combat to stop for a moment, and if she is attacked, she decides to fight more brutally for a short time to teach them a lesson. She'll put on sunglasses and brutally attack whoever didn't respect her wishes, using anything nearby, including things that could break the 4th wall, to pound them into the dirt.

Exp: 0
Equipment: Disguise to move through the city with while not fighting.

Other: Light loves to eat and can eat as much or maybe more than a Shonen Protagonist. Of course there is no way to actually compare her to a comic book/anime character, so theres no way of saying that one way or another. She did try a few arcade games, one of them being Golden Axe, but she got frustrated with how they wanted so many quarters she could use for food instead.

@Archmage MC

You’ve been working with me on this in private so you know that it’s approved. Just keep in mind I do still have reservations about some of her powerset and reserve the right to nerf or defeat her at any point I think something could be getting out of hand.

@Kurisu Shiruba

Overall a great application, with just a few minor issues. A single sentence appearance isn’t enough detail. Also the other section is missing an important detail I’ve hidden in the OOC to make sure people are paying attention.

Fighting King: Brawl in the Streets

Without further adieu...

Carnation Morgan Zunter

Name: Carnation Morgan Hendricks Züntér
Alias: Skinglove, Champion of Loki, Her Chaotic Mastery, Heir to the Throne of Madness, Morgana, The Warlock Supreme, or Hellborn
Age: 18
Nationality: Australia originally, though illegally immigrated to America and was adopted by a mother with Eastern German origin.
Gender: Girl.
Appearance: An athletic frame boasting a head with medium-length brown hair, rosy cheeks, a scarred forehead, and a maniacal smile. On her body is a hooded sweatshirt from Boston, MA that goes down to the middle of her thighs, and a set of skinny jeans and/or leggings, depending on how cold it is and how lazy she is. Oftentimes she can be seen with blood soaking her clothes, but the hoodie was red to begin with, and the knife was always bloodied.
History:
Born as a child to two powerful warlocks, Carnation lived a peaceful life honing her capabilities of magical aspects from an early age, showing a large amount of potential with her magical capabilities. Unfortunately, that was only a little less than her life at this point, since she was promised greater power if she did an unspeakable deed and ended the life of her parents. Which she did, and she left her home after setting it on fire with her new powers gained from making that pact.

Afterwards, she wandered as an 8 year old through various cities in Australia, doing as she pleased and doing business with a demon named Antonio, who claimed he was an accountant. He kept track of her unused souls that she stole from pedophiles and such, and she got the souls for him to use as payment for his aid and such. Odd, but quite a good bond nevertheless. The bond even stayed when Carnation was called into a specific job as a demonic investigator for somebody up in New England. After dumping some guy's clothes onto an empty runway, she headed off to New England and met who would soon be her new adoptive mom amongst a bunch of others with similar powers to her.

From there on, everything went by as a blur. She killed for her job when others were afraid to, and she kept gathering souls to give to Antonio. It was quite alright for a long time, until Antonio decided to reveal his true intentions as the Loki. Yes, the Norse God of Trickery Loki. Then on, it was smooth sailing for Carnation. She ran away from her mom after finding out that Loki had wanted her to be his champion, which she accepted gratefully since she was pretty sure her mom was batshit anyway.

Since then, Carn has been traveling the world, getting to know her true strengths and becoming a master of the Streetrat fighting style, as well as advancing a lot of her Warlock powers to capabilites far beyond what they were when she was like 9.

Personality

Motivations: Becoming a suitable champion for Loki, and doing whatever it takes to make that possible.
Sexuality: Bicurious and Experimental.
Likes:

• Blood
• Infernal Torment
• Loki
• Killing people
• Warm Pizza
• Knives
• Kids
• Leather
• Jackets
• Leather Jackets
• Fire

Dislikes:

• Soup, but only chowder
• Geese
• Rain
• Sleeping Bags
• Cardboard Boxes
• Motels, namely the cheap kind
• Boston
• Sydney, Australia
• Pedophiles
• Not stabbing

General: Carnation is a mad teenager with power at such an intense level of strength that it's almost alarming how she hasn't gone mentally insane from the influx and potency of her own capabilities. She would sooner stab you then trade a Pokemon card with you and she'd much rather do it, too. The death she had been surrounded by might've shaped her to be this way, or it might've been there all along from the start. Regardless, she's all about killing, and she'll gladly do it if you're in her way or you've ever been in her way.

Also, if you offer her cold pizza, she'll take it and stab you. Don't offer her cold pizza. Selling it to her is worse.

Fighting Arts

Skills: Haggling, lying, deceiving, baking, running, climbing, parkour of all shapes and types, pickpocketing, and butterfly knife tricks. She was good with them all when she was 10, but it's only become stronger as time has passed.
Fighting Style: Streetrat Style
There is no honor. There is no glory. There is only, and will only ever be, victory. In Streetrat Style, you use the environment to your advantage, and whatever you have is also a tool to your success. It can be anything ranging from that empty flask in your coat pocket as it collides with the opponent's skull, to the sand you keep in your shoes to blind someone. If it exists, it can be a weapon, and it will be used. Not only this, but you've been growing up on the streets to learn it, so you've gotten pretty good at dodging whatever comes your way. You dodge shanks like they were thrown wrenches, and you know that the shank only leaves your opponent open to their ultimate failure.
Weaknesses:
- Defense - Carn's based around not getting hit. She's going to definitely feel what you hit her with if you can land a hit.
- Psychology - Bringing up her family or past is a way you'll get her on the aggressive, but if you manage to chip away at a mountain long enough, even it will bring forth an avalanche.
Special Techniques:
- Fireball - You lob a fireball like it was a child's head towards your foes. It's gonna explode and envelope a good sized area in flames. Not the strongest, but they'll definitely catch on fire.
- Shadow Stride - You move like you are merely a cloud of smoke. Within mere seconds, you can slide through darkness and appear 10 feet away from your original location, though you won't be able to influence the world while you are moving. Good for sneak attacks and escape, as this isn't affected by terrain.
- Loki's Choice - You throw out a random colored orb of nonsense in front of you. What results is purely up for Loki to decide.
Super Arts: [HIGHWAY TO HELL]
You call forth a shade from a story you recall being told by the Trickster God, specifically the story of the Hellbent Crusader. The Crusader is armed with a trusty mace and shield combo, and will watch your back for any attacks that come. It will move as fluently as you, and is bound to you until it's health depletes. When it's out of health, it fades away, waiting to be resummoned.
Exp: 0
Equipment:
- Carnation's Trusty Butterfly - A butterfly knife, stained brown from dried blood and as sharp as a Eagle's Eye.
- The Human Leather Gloves - Carn's magical focus, now doubled! The left glove hasn't been identified, but her right glove is from the skin of her parents, tanned and turned into a fashionable accessory for going out on the town!

hey look i did it i posted in the ooc woo

It’s fun to see Carnation again. That said, this world and the world of Hellpact are very different, and her backstory needs to reflect that. Just carrying her over as she was and adding the fighting style section doesn’t make her a viable character. Her magic powers would need to be showcased in her special and supers. Things like the taking of souls and whatnot could happen, but it’ll need to be as a super art (and survivable, so it only takes the soul of the target dies). Otherwise, it’s not something she’ll be able to do. In Hellpact spirits and demons operated very specifically, but this world is more open. Actual Loki or Norse mythology wasn’t a dealer in souls, not all that bad a guy (setting aside the Ragnarok story, which was only believed by one subset of the Norse and adopted by Christians to showcase a “Satan figure” to the Norse to help with conversions). His trickery was, usually, mostly benign and used to teach the lesson that “sometimes shit just happens.” If you want to have Carnation as his champion and channel him, you’ll probably want to make her less murder-happy. So to make her viable, you’ll need to edit her history, make sure all abilities described in her history match her techniques, and possibly refine the champion aspect.

Also, her current super art as is, needs to be changed. A permanent summon with its own health bar isn’t feasible, as a super art should only function for a single post of combat. Change that bit and it’s a fine super art.

Alright, the OOC is up! roleplayerguild.com/topics/177403-fig…

Fighting King: Brawl in the Streets

Introduction

Do you like fighting? Do you like old school arcade games? Do you like magic powers, cyborgs, and throwing fireballs as a martial art? Then look no further. Fighting King is inspired by both old school beat’em ups a la Final Fight or Double Dragon, and by classic fighting games such as Street Fighter and Tekken. In this game you’ll take the role of a fighter of fame (or perhaps infamy) in whatever styling you like as you beat down punks and rival fighters. Want to unleash waves of chi as a Ryu/Ken clone? Go for it. Terrify the competition as a member of the undead? You’ve got it. Mow down your enemies with the superior firepower of a cyborg/android? The option is open to you. What about serving some old school street justice with nothing but your wits and your fists? Well of course! We’ll be looking for 4-6 players who will more or less form a team starting out, but there will be plenty of branching out once we get started.

Setting

While this game is inspired by classic beat’em ups and arcade fighters, it does not take place in any of their universes. Rather, this world is one where elements of any of these games could appear, but is itself an original creation. From a glance it appears to be indistinguishable from our own world: perfectly normal and mundane. However, once you go through it with a fine tooth comb, you’ll start to see more elements of fantasy and sci-fi. Fighters capable of manipulating their chi for specialized techniques. Magical witches and sorcerers. Psychics. Mutants. Scientists capable of creating androids, or fusing flesh with metal to make cybernetic weapons. Zombies, vampires, and whatever else have you. These things do exist in the world, and they are known to exist, but they are rare enough that nobody expects to actually run into this sort of thing in their lifetime. As far as NPCs are concerned, most will be normal humans, while every once in a while you’ll encounter one of the more off the wall aspects of the world. But as far as the players go, well, feel free to get as creative and crazy (or mundane) as you want.

Story

The game begins in the large city of New Carona, Maryland, USA. The street gangs run this town. They know it, the cops know it, everybody knows it. You don’t make a living in this city without giving someone else a cut to make sure your doors get to stay open, and not blasted off the hinges. One woman has had enough. Eve Roulette, wealthy business mogul and former underground fighting champion, has returned to her hometown with a mission. If the police can’t do anything about the thugs in the streets, then she will. To that end, Roulette has her people track down multiple fighters from around the world, the player characters, and offers them a job to clean up the streets the good old fashioned way. For whatever reason, be it the money, the challenge, a sense of morality, or whatever it may be, you’ve accepted the proposal and made your way to New Carona. From there the story will branch out, open some new paths and options, but at the start of things you’re here to kick butt and take names.

Gameplay

In keeping with the inspiration theme, gameplay will largely be among three distinct formats: Standard roleplay, crowd battles, and ring battles. At the end of each of these scenarios, you’ll get to earn Exp, which can be used to improve your character!

Standard Roleplay: Basically the normal thing you do everywhere all the time in all other RPs. This covers basic actions, dialogue, interactions, etc. Basically everything that’s going on when you aren’t fighting. But this is a fighter, so of course the focus is more on the next two.

Crowd Battles: These are the sections inspired by the beat’em ups like your Double Dragon, your Turtles in Time, etc. The best way to describe these segments would be “beating up waves of mooks.” When you’ve got to give a large crowd a beat down as you make your way toward your next goal, I as the GM will describe the general makeup of the crowd assaulting you, including weapons, tactics, etc., and you’re free to go ham on them. Most of the time they’ll consist of waves of inconsequential fighters who pose little threat to you, though occasionally a “mini-boss” will appear that puts up more of a fight. During Crowd Battles, you’re free to control the actions of your opponents and the world around you to really put on a stylish, longer post showing off just how cool and awesome a fighter you are.

Ring Battles: Despite the name, Ring Battles usually won’t occur in an actual ring (though they might!). These engage as soon as you meet with a dangerous opponent, a fighter of your own caliber, or at least in the same league as you. These are your 1v1s, or your tag team fights, inspired by classic fighting games like Street Fighter and Fatal Fury. These tough cookies aren’t getting tossed around like rag dolls and definitely pose a threat. During a ring battle, you cannot control your opponents or the world, that is exclusively my realm as the GM to determine how effective your attacks are on them, and vice versa. Also during a Ring Battle, you are limited to only 1 use of a Super Art, and 3 uses of a Special Technique, total.

Exp Costs:

• New Fighting Style (comes with 3 Special Techniques, 1 Super Art, and 2 Weaknesses) - 20 Exp
• New Skill - 3 Exp
• New Special Technique - 5 Exp
• New Super Art - 10 Exp
• Up Max Use of S. Technique/Fight - 4 Exp
• Up Max Use of S. Art/Fight - 8 Exp

Rules and Expectations

Alright, so let’s be real here. We all know the important rules, both set down by the Guild and just as common courtesy. So I’m not going to bother listing those sorts of things out. What I will do, is just set my expectations of players in this game, and let you know what you can expect from me. This game was literally created on a whim from a brief moment of inspiration in a morning daydream, and I do have other games I’m more focused on. Because of that, this will be a more lax game in terms of progression and posting speed. Normally I have a one post a week minimum in games I run, but not this time. While I would prefer that sort of pace, especially with the combat areas where things don’t need to be all that detailed or dramatic, this’ll be more of a “post at your convenience” and I’ll update it as I have free time, when I feel appropriate. If you haven’t posted by then, you may run the risk of getting left behind, but there won’t usually be any major consequences to it. In the other section of your CS list your favorite classic arcade game so I know you’ve been paying attention. Now, I’m only looking for 4-6 players for this game. I might expand that to be a larger group at a later time, but I’m not sure that’ll ever really be necessary. Each player only gets 1 character, so make them count. Themes can definitely get to be 18+, but in the spirit of the source material let’s try to keep swearing to be mostly minor and avoid anything overtly sexual. If things do go that way for one reason or another, fade to black or PMs please. All in all, as you can see from things this will be a pretty casual experience, which I feel is best when the main draw is all about knocking heads and kicking butt.

For everyone interested, I have an ongoing Discord server for all my games and general friend community. If you want to join it for this game, follow this link and just tell whoever is online at the time that you're there for Fighting King: discord.gg/SMaaC6p

I'm in the process of getting the OOC ready and ironing out some of the specific details. Feel free to join the discussion.

Fighting King

@ProPro Before I get started I wanted to know how wacky or fantastical the characters/rp will be? Like will the rp be like Final Fight? I wanted to make a grounded straight woman type character since you brought up TMNT.

@Ruler Inc

It'll be mostly grounded in terms of the world around you with the occasional cyborg or mutant (like Blanka) or sorcerer coming out of the woodworks once in a while. That's just the world, however, as the players are welcome to go just about as balls to the wall as they like. Basically, all kinds of wacky and over the top things exist in the world, and they're known to exist, but they're rare/uncommon enough that at a glance it looks the same as our own world. That answer your question?
