Grimlock destroy a state? That could take a bit as he's only one Grimlock. But he'd do it, if they pissed him off enough. He doesn't have super speed or anything, so it may take a bit to go from town to town. But the wreckage he would leave behind would be ... Not very much would be left. Mostly burning buildings with massive holes and sword slashes. I'd reckon somewhere between a couple weeks for a smaller state.

How about his durability? How many bull's eye shots from a WW2 Panzer would it take to kill him?

The weaknesses and abilities should also not be 500 words. The reason I say this is because the abilities are only in need of a brief overview that gives you an idea of what it does and the weaknesses...well, why do I need five hundred words for "Bill has ADHD" or something like that. Or "Bill is illiterate." Get de idea?

Because of specificity.

Example:

Bill has ADHD. For most humans with ADHD, they are debilitated by the lack of ability to focus for long periods of time. Many humans on Earth have access to ADHD medications, which helps them alleviate the symptoms. And most humans too are not in an environment where they have to rely on their abilities to focus in order to survive. In the Island of Murder however, a split-second loss of focus while fighting can cause defeat.

When Bill fights in the wild, he's at a great disadvantage, because if a gnomish blue gorilla walks by, he would drop his gun and be like, "Ooooohhh!! I should catch that and ask him if I'll ever get married again!" And of course, the enemy will take that free opportunity to violate poor little Bill in the ass.

His ADHD extends to his social life, and when talking to a beautiful woman, he can't keep his eye-contact in the same place for more than ten seconds.

Blah blah blah, etcetera etcetera, and so on and so forth...

I want the characters to have specific, detailed, well-thought out strengths and weaknesses. Plus, writing 500-words articulately, even if it's just gobbledygook, shows willingness to put effort, and that's a sign that they can be devoted to the RP.

I'm into this idea. Would Fall of Cybertron Grimlock be overpowered?

What was Grimlock capable of doing before Shockwave's experiment? What was he capable of doing after the experiment?

I need to know that first. Like, how long will it take one Grimlock to destroy one US state?

Also, beginning characters are only allowed to initially bring with them either one weapon, or two weapons that can be dual-wielded.

If your weapon is something like a special amulet that gives your special powers, then you are only allowed one amulet for your character. There will be no such thing as, "I'm gonna dual wield two magic rings that have both awesome powers!" No. If it's magical in any way, it gets limited to one.

I'd like to point out the issue with a five hundred word description of a person. There's very few people who would write an IC post description of their character for the CS. The idea behind the one of the IC is just to give you an idea of what they look like, then the deeper details come out in the RP. I don't want everyone to know about the scare on Herman's gut he got fighting in a sword fight until it's relevant and allows for character building.

Your logic is duely noted.

Eliminating the 500-word rule and reducing it to 100. Written description if your character has a picture is now optional.

Thanks.

AncientCrusader,

I need you to eliminate Alignment, City Arena, Goods Sold, and Population.

There is no Alignment in any of the cities. All the citizens are there to welcome all fighters.

All combat arenas are free-for-all, no-holds-barred, anything-goes type of thing. All of them are like that. You can literally purchase artillery with your money and bring that shit on stage. Anything goes, as long as you don't ally with another fighter. Slaves and hired mercenaries are considered a part of your arsenal and are not considered to be sentient contestants.

For Goods Sold, I'll be the decider of that in all the cities.

Population must remain vague for now until I or you or everybody makes their research...

I'd like you to do one modern city yourself. Just one for now, and modern.

And then we'll see how it goes. Thanks.

I like the idea I'm just not sure I have 1000 to describe my character

Oh, you'll be fine. I'll help you write if that's what you'll need. No worries.

DBZ Roleplay? Anyone?

Yeah, I can do DBZ with you guys...

OR... OR... we can all do something better and more fun! Yeah! Let's do that!

Check out my interest check thread with regards to Multiverse Combat RP.

lol... Seriously though, I would join this one if it's okay to the OP that I may only be able to actively RP every other day...

You didn't mention anything about magic, really, which is odd, since this is a multiverse RP, and that is a likely possibility. I feel like magic needs to be talked about as much as, if not more than tech, since it can be used by a character who is modern, medieval, futuristic, or anything else really. Just ban Lvl 99 mass death spells, make us give a list of our spells/ magical capabilities, and... oh wait, nvm, didn't take long at all.The problem with setting a specific tier of character is that there are characters who are too badass, immortal, or god-tier to be lowered to a tier that's a bit less crazy. (also, they could just be using main character ex machina a lot) So, people who want to play superman, or [insert immortal/near immortal here] wont be able to. Actually, it's boring playing against those guys. No top tier/target practice characters! Don't be too powerful or too weak! woo...I'm guessing this is going to be mid to high casual?

I'll answer all your questions tomorrow.

Welcome to the Island of Murder!

Welcome to the Island of Murder... is the first thing you will hear once you arrive in the floating Island where wildest dreams come true. And the way it gets said by Angel Viktoricus is like the same way that dude from Futurama says, "Weeeelllcum to the WWWOOOORRRLD of toMORROOOOOWWW!!!" I shit you not, this place is badass. There are unicorns, bipedal mammoths, and gorillas that are far more articulate than William Shakespeare. There are cheap weapons that you can buy, all designed to slash, stab,decapitate, crush, burn, and pulverize. The brothels contain clones of the most beautiful men and women from Planet Earth, like that of Marilyn Monroe, Katy Perry, young Britney Spears, Taylor Lautner, Ryan Reynolds, and young Marlon Brando. For a cheap price, you can fade-to-black with these hotties. And in this island, the laws of biology do not work. Which means you will never get an STD.

The food here is great too, and the chefs are really nice.

There is no rain, no snow, no simmering heat. It's all a mild, neutral climate. There are jungles rich with Siberian tigers that never go extinct even if you try to scour the place with an armalite. There are plenty of animals to hunt or hold captive as pets. One particular animal worth having is the gnomish blue gorilla, which is rare to find, but is very smart and have the badass ability to tell you the answers to all of life's important questions. However, these tiny apes are very very smart and know where and how to hide. And they are so oratorically persuasive that if you do get them cornered and are about to capture them, they will almost always successfully convince you that you should not capture them.

And if you're like me who came from 21st century Earth, you will not get home-sick because there are four cities in the island that looks a lot like modern-day Los Angeles. Everything is taken care of, including the realistic thug actors and homeless-person actors who give the atmosphere a very authentic look. Hell, there are even strip clubs and drug dealers to add to the effect!

And if you're into the knight-in-shining-armor kind-of shit, then you're in great luck, as there are 7 cities here that are like Medieval Europe in design. The only problem here is that somehow, the mounted knights ride Final Fantasy chocobos instead of noble steeds. Aside from that, you can find Attila the Hun, Oda Nobunaga, Henry VIII, and Richard the Lionheart in the prisons of their respected cities. They are available to visit and have a lot to say about leadership and military wisdom. Don't worry about them though because just because they live in prisons, they are well taken care of and are allowed to go out for fresh air four days a month.

Find Medieval cities weird and Modern cities boring? Then how about...



Hell yeah! Above is the one city on the Island of Murder that uses flying cars as transportation!

As the name implies, this place is about fighting. Warriors here got dragged by God for a fun little game called I-kill-you-before-you-kill-me-mkay? Anything goes, and you can wield as many weapons as you can physically carry by yourself. Official sanctioned battles are done in one of these colosseums:



The only rule of the game is... DO NOT GANG UP WITH OTHERS TO DEFEAT YOUR OPPONENT! ALL MATCHES ARE ONE AGAINST ONE!

The rule applies even to unofficial fights outside of the arena, even if it's just a bar-brawl. It does not, however, apply to the usage of pets or slaves, as such people are considered "tools" rather than actual people.

Failure to abide by the rule is grounds for severe punishment. "Severe punishment" may consist of missing a bodypart for a number of days, monetary penalty, and having one of your precious items temporarily confiscated.

All new recruits are given 100 gold coins the moment they arrive on the Island. This is enough to be able to purchase ANY (NOT ALL) of the following:

*10-year nutritional sustenance of ramen noodles, beans+rice, canned-sardines, etc.
*1-year nutritional sustenance of sirloin, rotisserie chicken, mashed potatoes, etc.
*2-month nutritional sustenance of eating in restaurants.
*Purchase one slave with no special abilities such as singing, blacksmithing, fighting, etc.
*A wardrobe worth ten fashionable full garments (Kimono, Superman costume, normal 21st-century Earthwear, etc.)
*One good armor set, not including a shield.
*20 special sessions in a brothel. (Boosts morale, which gives you 20% more energy in combat.)
*Either five basic weapons (Roman spatha, English Longbow, Bayonet, etc.), or one high-tier weapon capable of making a regular human being able to kill 20 other human beings before he or she himself/herself gets killed (Submachine gun, Amulet that makes you move four times faster, Magic sword with the ability lengthen without getting heavier, etc.)
*Either/or 100 healing potions, 1 invincibility potion (You become virtually indestructible for 24 hours), 20 physicality potions that double your strength and speed for 24 hours, and more.

To be continued...
