Character Crossover Crisis City

Hm... Well, since everyone else is putting in a secondary character...

*Name: Kureshima Takatora
*Universe: Kamen Rider Gaim (In-between the episodes 23 and 24)
*Appearance: "Henshin." "MELON ARMS! MELON ENERGY ARMS!"
*Personality: Takatora, at the moment of his joining the Challenges, is conflicted. On one hand, he knows the harsh reality of saving people, and that in order to save a thousand, a hundred must die. On the other, he hates this idea, but knows there's no other way to tackle the problems... None that he knows. His fatal flaw is that he's too trusting of others. Like, as in he'll be trusting in people who he really shouldn't trust, even people who are blantatly evil when they're not in the same room as Takatora. Another fatal flaw is his obliviousness. He'll be completely naive towards certain stuff and refuse to acknowledge it until someone shoves it in his face. He is pretty serious, and forcing him into hijinx will result in even more hijinx as he tries to humor what little he can.
*Powers/Skills: Takatora is a skilled fighter in and out of his suits, as the years he had using his Sengoku Driver trained and conditioned him to fight better and stronger.
*Brief Bio: Years ago, Takatora was informed by a friend of his, Professor Ryoma, that a realm known as Helheim Forest was appearing into their world and that within an short amount of time, it would overtake it and destroy all of civilization. Takatora and Ryoma worked together to invent a way of surviving this merger of worlds, but whereas Ryoma believed Takatora and him should rule the new world that comes from the merging, Takatora wants everyone to have the best chance of surviving and much to the former's hidden dismay, the two decide on Project Ark, a project denoted to handling out mass produced inventions to help a billion people thrive in Helheim, while culling the other six billion. Their invention, the Sengoku Driver, was soon complete and handed to unsusupecting teenagers to be beta tested. Two of these teens happened to be Takatora's own brother Mitsuzane, who he never knew was a test subject until the latter broke his friends out of the former's HQ, and Kazuraba Kouta, a kid he fought to nigh-death at the forest before leaving him to ingest his words of wisdom to him. Except that every time he and Kouta meet, Kouta always finds a way to butt heads with him, even after he tells Kouta about Helheim. That is until Kouta broke into his HQ with the intent of destroying a Scalar weapons system he had. Takatora, hearing his words lambasting Project Ark, decided he had enough and showed Kouta something he never wanted him to see: a clip of Kouta murdering the person he had been looking for ever since he put on the Driver for the first time. Dejected and stunned by this revelation, Kouta walks off and Takatora spares him, believing him to be nothing more than a husk now... That is until Kouta returns with a new power and blows up his tower. As the smoke clears, Kouta's words calling him out on getting serious about protecting the world from Helheim haunts Takatora.
*Equipment: He carries with him two Drivers, a Sengoku Driver and a Genesis Driver. Although he retired his Sengoku Driver for the Genesis Driver, Takatora doesn't seem to want to esclate the battle by using the Genesis Driver until it is needed. With the Sengoku Driver and Melon Lockseed, Takatora can become Armored Rider Zangetsu, a sword-wielder who has with him the Melon Defender, a melon-like shield that can be tossed like a boomerrang. With the Genesis Driver and Melon Energy Lockseed, Takatora can become Energy Rider Zangetsu Shin, in which he can use the Sonic Arrow, a laser-shooting bow that doubles as a sword.
*Others: None that I can think of. I decided to write this sheet because I figured he'd be a good foil to Nobuo, Vash, and Archer.

Yeah. Saber and Archer are now trying to murder Sorin for being a general evil jerk who previously zombified dragons, summoned a demon, summoned underlings to die without a backwards glance, and just told them that he goes around killing people to live, without making any effort to specify that most of the people he does that to are his enemies.

And straight up admitting he's a vampire to Vash in an attempt to break him. It's sad that Nobuo is perhaps the only person trying to defuse the situation.

Let's B!tch. I feel it's a healthy release for our roleplay annoyances 2.0

What all OOCs turn into at some point.

Character Crossover Crisis City

Nobuo pointed to a guy getting up. "Hey, look at that guy! Possibly a replacement for Ghost Rider."

Character Crossover Crisis City

Hey, DC, I don't wanna be that guy, but you might want to look at the signups again.

Of course you are, as we long ago established that your true identity is Recette Lemongrass.

{Squees} Recette, let me be the first to say that your shop is awesome! Your prices are way better than over at Lisbeth's Smith Shop!

Whenever arguments happen, since they tend to kill RPGs.

A major contributor, especially in crossover RPGs, is when powerlevels are compared. Essentially "my dad can beat up your dad".

2) I feel like the very idea of making characters lose their special abilities would be tough to carry out, just because I suppose it sort of depends on what counts as a "special ability". Like, for example, Vash is a superb gunman - would that skill count as one of the abilities lost? And if so, to what extent would it be lost? Would his skill only drop down to, I dunno... superhuman levels? Or would he lose completely lose all finesse with his gunmanship?

I think there's a vast difference between skill and power.

Skill is exactly what you described: superb gunman.

Powers on the other hand are things. They're things that push the boundary beyond simple "superhuman gunmanship" or "skilled driving". We're talking using magic or breathing fire. Though it's up to Dead Cruiser to say what counts as a power and what doesn't.

Though I'm gonna wait for Grey to have the final say on if powers should be disabled for the JJBA challenge and if we get to keep out Stand Powers afterwards.

That's perfect, actually.

Sweet. Now to figure out its power... Hm... I could take the literal route and have it be something akin to blowing out streams of dust or take another route and relate it to [Bites the Dust] in the sense that it's explosion based (not making it too crazy like it... Think of those times where the Power Rangers pose and a large explosion happens behind them. That's the Stand's power in a nutshell)
