Disgaea: Hotel of Ultimate Evil

So, this is kind of a silly idea I had a little while back. Basically, as the title says, it's a Disgaea RP, with all the fourth wall stuff (as in "main characters", "levelling up", etc, not characters reading the OOC thread or bits of posts taking place in other scenes) that entails. However, the main characters (well, most of them at least) are people from Earth who find themselves in a netherworld, transformed into demons. From there, shenanigans and violence ensue as they go off to find out what happened and kill the overlord, using a rundown hotel as their base. After all, this stuff's usually the big villain's fault, right?

---

To start with, I'm going to be limiting things to 10 characters, just so things don't get too crazy. This should probably go without saying, but given the franchise this is based on, I'd prefer if we avoided overly serious grimdark. While things might get ridiculous later on as far as character power goes, keep in mind that PCs should be starting off on the lower end of the scale.

Character Sheet:

• Name:
• Age:
• Appearance:
• Personality:
• Brief Backstory:
• Class: Keep in mind that the characters coming from Earth are "main characters" and will probably have unique class names. Feel free to put whether they're glass cannons/tanks/squishy healers/etc here, as well as anything about what types of weapons they're good with.
• Equipment: Any notable things characters have with them when they come from Earth, as well as actual starting gear.
• Powers: Evilities, magichanges (for monster characters), spells and other special skills go here. Please give descriptions for what things do aside from just "deals x damage" or "restores y% of adjacent allies' HP each turn" though.
• Abilities: things your character's good at which aren't related to their demonic abilities.

Back on the Rails - A Multiverse RP Take 2!

Before Rachel turned back towards the hotel, something caught her attention. A large, airborne train with flashing police lights, which she had somehow failed to notice diving towards the forest ahead of her until just now. Her curiosity piqued, Rachel moved ahead with the phone and case in hand.

A short time later, she was surrounded by trees with no sign of the train in the immediate area. At that moment, the phone rang. Hesitantly, Rachel answered. After all, it could be whoever lost it in the first place, right? Or an SOS from that weird train?

"Remember my super cool Rattata?"

"I-"

"My Rattata is different from regular Rattata. It’s like my Rattata is in the top percentage of all Rattata."

And then he hung up, leaving Rachel even more confused about what was going on than before.

Back on the Rails - A Multiverse RP Take 2!

A pair of trains raced through the sky above a feudal Japanese city, seemingly conjuring tracks out of thin air as they went. The vehicles went unnoticed by the general populous, who either lacked the power to see them or just figured they were better off ignoring them. In the front was a black train with a pair of drill-like protrusions at the front of its tracks, one of the Shadow Line's Darkliners, which travelled from world to world trying to spread their influence. In hot pursuit was a train with some police car-like traits, the Rainbow Line's Police Express, one of the vehicles tasked with fighting back against the Shadows.

"To think that a mere conductor managed to ruin my plan...That world would've been plunged into darkness!" The leader of the Shadow Line's expedition snarled. At that moment, a loud bang sounded out. The pursuing Police Express had folded out what looked to be an oversized blue handgun, though its aim was somewhat hampered by the speeds they were moving at. "Tch...You!" the weasel-like creature shouted, pointing to one of the black-clad minions crewing the train. "Get us back to HQ, now!"

"Crow!" The train robber-esque combatman responded, beginning to work on a strange computer. Another shot rang out, this time however, it connected. While the blast failed to cause any major damage, it shook the Darkliner and caused the Crow at the console to fall forwards. Almost instantly, the track they were travelling on split and the train seemingly vanished into thin air, with the Police Express following shortly after.

---

The Crow had, of course, failed to return the Darkliner to HQ. Instead, it seemed to have stranded them on some backwater planet and busted the console. There'd be time to punish it for the screw-up later though, for now, they had a chance to prepare for their pursuers.

The police train came into view, as Kamaitachi had expected. At his command, the Darkliner opened fire with its own weapons, a barrage of cannon fire hitting the emerging Police Express. The other train began a rapid descent, somewhere between an emergency landing and...well, crashing. Whether it was taking cover, or just a convenient crashing point, the train ended up in a forested area of the island the two vehicles had emerged over.

As it fell, several items fell through a small gash in the side of rear carriage, landing across the island below.

---

Rachel stretched, stepping out of the hotel she'd been staying at and into the tropical sunlight. Sure, she'd slept in. Sure, it was already close to noon. But what was the point in rushing on a holiday?

"Let's see...beach...or hiking track..." The brunette mumbled to herself, glancing around. Decision making had never really been her strongest suit, and this was no exception. As she turned towards a path heading into the forest, something caught her eye, a phone and some weird metal case. They seemed somewhat...familiar.

Shrugging, she stepped forwards and picked the items up. Maybe whoever lost these had some kind of ID in the case? With a small click, it opened, revealing what seemed to be Pokemon cards. Or rather, cards with pictures of Pokemon on them. Weird...In any case, these probably needed to go to the hotel's lost and found or something.

Name: Rachel Kay
Age: 24
Appearance: Similar to this, except she generally wears jeans and an Iron Maiden or Kamen Rider-based T-shirt rather than a tracksuit. She's roughly 5'6" tall.
Powers/Equipment: Rachel acquires a modified Pokegear and a small case containing a set of cards bearing images of assorted Pokemon. By scanning one of the cards in the slot on the bottom of the Pokegear, she is able to change into one of the following forms:

• Farfetch'd: Rachel gains the Wild Duck Pokemon's leek-based combat skills, as well as the razor sharp vegetable required to use them. While she isn't capable of flying, she can jump far higher than should be humanly possible and is capable of gliding short distances. In addition, due to the Keen Eye ability, her eyesight is enhanced in this form, enabling her to pick up on smaller details and spot things from long distances. Her outfit in this form is basically this, albeit with a leek instead of a sword.
• Litwick: With the Candle Pokemon's power, Rachel becomes immune to fire-based attacks, which just cause the flame on her head to increase in size and power up her own fire attacks, in addition she is able to conjure blasts of fire of varying intensities, as well as beams, balls and rings of dark energy, she also gains the ability to shrink herself down, becoming harder to hit. In this form, Rachel wears a white dress, which hangs past her ankles, her hair hangs in front of her face, covering one eye and a purple flame burns on top of her head.
• Sylveon: The Intertwining Pokemon's Pixilate ability infuses Rachel's attacks with, for lack of a better term, fairy magic, boosting the strength of those not already based around this power. In this form, Rachel gains the power to channel the power of the moon to create a destructive beam, conjure star-shaped projectiles that home in on their target, release a flash of light to blind opponents for a short time and focus all of her strength into a single physical strike, which causes insane amounts of damage if it connects, but leaves her completely exhausted afterwards, making it a last resort. This form's appearance changes are...a bit more severe than the others.
• Cosplay Pikachu: Using the Mouse Pokemon's card, Rachel gains the power to manipulate electricity in a variety of ways, while becoming immune to it herself. In addition, depending on what "costume" she's wearing, she gains the ability to make her fists harder than steel, summon icicles to rain down, create an electrical current in the surrounding area to power up electrical attacks, drain energy by kissing or perform wrestling moves. In this form, Rachel gains Pikachu's ears and tail, as well as a costume similar to one of its different forms. The costume can be changed through the use of a card depicting all 5 variations of Cosplay Pikachu.
• Heracross: While using the Single Horn Pokemon's card, Rachel gains improved fighting skills, as well as the ability to fire bullet or needle-like projectiles by punching at the air. This form gives Rachel a suit of armour similar to this.
• Froakie: Rachel gains several ninja-esque abilities while using the Bubble Frog Pokemon's card, allowing her to substitute herself for a decoy or pull smoke bombs from her jacket's pockets. In addition, she can project blasts of water and has her swimming abilities enhanced. While using this form, Rachel's glasses turn into pince-nez and she wears a dark blue skirt and lighter blue jacket with a fluffy collar resembling Froakie's bubbles.

Personality: Rachel is shy around people she doesn't know. However once she feels comfortable around someone, she becomes more cheerful and energetic, if a bit snarky at times. She is a fan of assorted manga and anime, mostly slice of life or action series, as well as assorted tokusatsu series. She also enjoys music, mostly metal (generally more of the heavy or power varieties) and rock, as well as cooking.
Brief Backstory: There isn't really much to say. Rachel has had a boring, ordinary life for the most part. She coasted through school without any real effort, getting decent grades in the process. She spent some time in university, studying to become a teacher, but is currently taking a break to see more of the world.

Everyone knows some stories of good versus evil. Whether they're costumed hero teams against monsters, elves versus orcs, superheroes and villains or even normal humans, one thing remains consistent through the majority of these tales: Good triumphs over evil in the end.

However, what if something happened differently to give the villains an advantage? What if the hero's Deus ex Machina power-up didn't arrive; or the villain's treacherous advisor was dealt with before he could backstab his boss; maybe someone slapped the engineer that suggested a big ol' self-destruct button back during the planning stages?

A mysterious group known as the Shadow Line has taken it upon themselves to answer this. Travelling the multiverse, they do what they can to change assorted worlds to help evil triumph. Their methods vary from world to world, though they aim to be at least somewhat subtle most of the time. After all, they've already got ONE bunch of "heroes" after them...better not to add to that.

During a chase between these two groups, the Shadow Line's Darkliner fumbled a "Line Change" in an attempt to lose its pursuer. This brought both of them to our Earth, over a small island resort, where a blast from the Darkliner damaged the pursuing Rainbow Line train, causing some of its cargo, an assortment of items from around the multiverse, to fall to the ground below. That is where you come in.

So, yeah! Take 2! Smaller cast! IC going up sometime today or tomorrow!

Back on the Rails - A Multiverse RP

I'm sorry I've taken so long to post. While this is in part due to stress, work, time zones and all that fun stuff...it's also because the more I try to work on the OP for this, the more apparent it becomes that most of my ideas for the RP aren't exactly suited to a cast of this size. As such, I've decided to cancel this and run a smaller version instead. Sorry for wasting your time.

Back on the Rails - A Multiverse RP

I'm sorry to say, but I can't accept this character. The concept seems to clash a bit too much with the intended tone of the RP.

Back on the Rails - A Multiverse RP

I think it'd be better to just go with this idea. Also, any reason he's got a girl's name now?

Basically, this RP will follow a group of people from Earth (original characters and self-inserts/author avatars are both fine) travelling through the multiverse and repairing various worlds, which have been derailed by the main villains, the Shadow Line. Ideally, there will be a balance of both combat and downtime for characters to interact. While I'm not completely opposed to player controlled villains, I will say that I'm going to be fairly picky with them, to avoid clashes with the intended tone of the RP. Speaking of which, I'm going for a lighter tone with this. While villains should be threatening, try to avoid pointlessly bloody or dark backstories for them...Or for anyone else, really.

Finally, while I have some world ideas, I would like other people to suggest/run arcs too. I'm including a sheet for world ideas, as well as the character sheet. Ideally, the world should still be intact (sorry, 90% of DBZ villains), the main characters should still be alive (it's not like villains haven't decided prison/slavery/exile/needlessly complex death traps are valid ways to deal with their nemeses before) and whatever's changed to swing things in the villains' favour shouldn't seem TOO out of place with the world.
