Story Heroes (sign-up)

[Raiden]

Alright, I tried this before, but not enough people joined up to do it. Anyway, this is the jist of it. A crazy geneticist has found a way to create the villains from different stories, and bring them to life. Using the villains, he has taken over most of the world. A young genecist had an idea. What better way to destroy the villains in our world, then to enlist the help of the heroes that defeated them in their world? So, he has worked hard to bring the heroes from the stories to life, hoping that they will help him.

Yes, crappy back story. I'll work on it later. Anyway, the profile stuff is below, and here are the rules.

1) Your character MUST be from a book (manga is allowed, but let's not have everyone be from manga. Then it'll just be a rip-off of the anime RP).
2) Your character must be the hero. No side-kicks, unless you give me an INCREDIBLY good reason.
3) When you make your character, try to fit yourself into what that character would have or behave like. We'd like to stay in character.

That's pretty much it. Here's the profile.

Name: (Name of hero)
Book Title: (The book you got it from)
Villain: (What is the villain of the book)
Appearance: (What they look like)
Weapons: (Stick with what they use in the book)
Items: (Again, what they used in book)
Personality: (How they act in book)
Skills: (If your character uses any magic, or is especially good at something)
Extra: (Anything else you'd like to say.)

Alright, I'll put my thing in later. If you have any questions, just PM me.

[Forever Zero]

Muahaha, now my massive collection of sci-fi/fantasy books won't make this too hard a choice, I just ahve to find them all first...

I'll post my question in case any other people have the same question. If our character has any heavy equipment, do we get that to, like say if our character has powered armor or something? Also, what if our opponents enemy is more of an empire they fight, and there is never really one evil villian that stands out, do you want us to just list the race/empire and some info about them? Last question would be, are their any books you don't want us using, or do we have totally free reign?

[MasterZero]

Name: Draconas
Book Title: Mistress of Dragons
Villain: Maristara, a powerful elder female dragon. Uses humans and teaches them her magic of defense. Still, even without offensive magic, she can easily break someone in two.
Appearance: Strong, well-muscled, bronze-skinned, grey-streaked black hair that is worn clubbed and tied at the back of his neck with a leather thong
Weapons: Walking Staff (used to deal with enemies), Knife (used for hunting and such)
Items: none
Personality: Very serious about any work he must do, Would be first to disrespect a commanding authority if he thinks another option would be better (and go through with it), Respectful to humans, but even more so to the Parliment (the dragon council from the book)
Skills: Uses Dragon offensive magic, and his staff contains the ability to wield defensive magic. Both magiks are quite powerful and deadly if used right, which he will if necessary.
Extra: He is a dragon in a human body. He isn't limited to the aging of humans, but can get hurt like one. Rarely will he change into his dragon form, only in dire situations (which are usually dire only for his allies and not himself). Also, he follows his Parliment's Three Dragon Laws:
1) Dragons cannot take human life.
2) Dragons may not interfere in human affairs. Dragons may not coerce, intimidate, force, threaten, resort to trickery or extortion in their dealings with humans.
3) Dragons, with one exception, should have no dealings with humans.

[Raiden]

Nice profile, Master!

Now, Forever, you bring up some good questions. If he has super armor, then it depends on what it is. PM me what kind of stuff he has, but usually, any armor he has is alright. I might put a limit on it, though, depending on what it is. And if it's an empire, then we'll do this.

Take a general, king, soldier, whatever of that empire that is exceptionally standing out to YOU, and use him. If there really isn't one, then under that circumstance you can CREATE your own villian. But, he must be subservient to the empire, and he must act like a stereo-typical person would in that empire.

And ANY book is useable, even manga, but with reason. I don't want a whole bunch of manga characters. But really, if it's been published, it's free ground.

[Forever Zero]

I'm going to go with a standard book character, and I don't know if I'll use the sci-fi character or not, it was just a question. I'll PM you first if I decide to use him, otherwise I'll just post.

[MasterZero]

Raiden, have you ever read Mistress of Dragons? It is a very good book, and is part one in a trilogy. I can't wait til the second one comes out.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Name: Belgarion "Garion"
Book Title: Belgariad
Villain: Kal Torak, The dark God of the Angarak. Deformed and driven insane by the Orb of Aldur.
Appearance: A muscular sandy haired young man. He can shape change into a wolf if necessary. He also hass the mark of the orb on his right hand.
Weapons: Sword of the Rivan King (Greatsword)
Items: Orb of Aldur pommelstone of his sword.
Personality: He doubts his abilities and is a very rational youth. He'd prefer to live peacefully, but will fight if necessary. He doesn't like the fact that he is a tool of the prophecy, but still does his job.
Skills: Sorcery, Farm life, sword fighting, and cleaning
Extra: The orb acts as a focusing crystal for Belgarion's sorcery. It is a sentient being in and of itself. It makes his Great sword lighter. (On it's own, due to the density of the metal used, the sword is unweildable. with the orb it's light enough Garion can weild it in one hand very dexterously.) Sets it on fire when drawn. Only Garion can touch it safely, it will kill any body else who touches it unless they are a god, and even then it's up to the orb.

He uses Sorcery (the will and the word) but only uses it when necessary. Other sorcerors know when sorcery is used around them. He can do almost anything with his sorcery except target a Dragon (they are immune), bring back the dead (he did it twice, but both were special cases necessary to the prophecy.) or unmake something, (If he tries to unmake something, he explodes)

[Dante]

As if you had to ask... I'm taking Dark Schneider! Will post a bio soon, but evil work hampers me.

Either that, or Rand Al'Thor.

[Darth SS]

I should so do an alchoholic Frodo Baggins...

[Raiden]

Dante, you better be a good Dark Schneider. Or else I'm gonna have to whip out a spell and Mega Death your sorry ass.

So far, everything is good. And no, Master, I haven't read the book yet. But it was a good profile you did. I'll put mine up soon. I just need to think of one...

I could take Roland of Gilead, but then BMHadoken would be pissed off at me.

[Darth SS]

Aww...what the hell...

Name: Frodo Baggins
Book Title: The Lord of the Rings: The fellowship of the Ring; The Two Towers; The Return of the King.
Villain: Gollum (The other scientist was aiming for Sauron, but missed)
Appearance: That dress shirt, that red thing over it, and then the coat, matching pants. Elven cloak and Sting can be seen, but not the Mithril Coat.
Weapons: Sting, the magic sword that glows when Orcs are near.
Items: Mithril vest, phial of galadriel, elven cloak, some lembas
Personality: (If Raiden allows this...) After destroying the ring, Frodo needed a fix. He's now a rabid smoker and alchoholic. And an angry drunk. And a rather perverted little guy.
Skills: *cough* He's basically worthless. The scientist was trying to get Gandalf, but he got this little shit instead.
Extra: He's...Frodo...

[Forever Zero]

*snicker* I figured if someone called LOTR it would be Gandalf, but you explained that well.

Blasted moving, I can't find all of my books. When is this RP looking to start?

[IHateMakingNames]

I'm tempted to join as a Redwall character... All these great warriors, and a mouse...

[Darth SS]

Frodo? Warrior?

[IHateMakingNames]

More-so then a mouse

[CelesJessa]

Blasted moving, I can't find all of my books.

You can't find you books? Well try finding a decent girl main hero in a normal book. the ones I do find have some kind of fruity bad guy or something.... ^_^;;

[Forever Zero]

I was thinking of Redwall also, but I am tempted by a series of science fiction books I'm reading as well. If you want Redwall, might I suggest Martin the Warrior from Mossflower?

EDIT: Celes, ironic you mention a girl hero, I was thinking of using Honor Harrington from her series, lots of science fiction wars and she kicks butt with pistols and melee, but the only problem is that the bad guys are just as likeable as the good guys, and I've never played a female RP character before... =/

The other guy I was thinking of, I can't remember his name, but he is in the book The Forever War, and he gets that nice powered armor I was talking about, but the enemies aren't very good because it turns out at the end of the book none of the aliens were meant for war anyway, and they were losing badly and humanity just didn't know it...

Bah, science fiction has too many twists...

[IHateMakingNames]

Zero... I would not matter who I picked, since they are all mouses... Biggest you can get is a badger... The Redwall character would be for comic relief, and possible scouting (Though he has no way to comminicate)

And I just called it...

[Forever Zero]

All the Redwall character just speak english, don't they? Just because a human sized mouse was pulled from a book into life, doesn't mean they wouldn't speak english...

[IHateMakingNames]

I was thinking that when they get pulled from the book, they would be the size of a mouse... Not a human sized mouse, a small little mouse. And being a mouse, only other mice/forest type animals would understand him...

[Forever Zero]

So you would play a character, the size of a mouse but that can stand and move like a human, has a sword the size of a toothpick, and wouldn't be able to speak with the group? oookay...

Sizes are never really given in concrete terms, only in comparison to other creatures, so I always figured they were human sized. And Redwall villians would be really stupid to fight, we could just stomp them all in to oblivion... I think the evil scientists would be at least a little smarter than that, although maybe I'm overestimating their intelligence...

I would think that a Redwall character would be human sized (the mice at least, the others would be appropriate sizes in comparison) and would be able to speak english if they are in this RP.

[IHateMakingNames]

Well, the other bad guys would use the bad guy rat/weasel/fox to scout out places (They could probably write or something)...

[Raiden]

Alright. Let's do some checking.

SS-Hilarious. I'll be using jokes for your guy so often.

IHMN- The scientist is a geneticist, so just for the sake of argument, we'll have it that your mouse can speak both english and mouse. He can easily switch between the two. And simply for ease, we're going to have the mouse be relatively human size. You can have him be a small human size, but human sized. If you're really small, we're going to have some serious problems that I can see.

Forever- We'll be starting either tommorow or the day after. I want to give people the chance to get their characters together, and to be all set. Plus, I don't think BM would want to miss out on this. I wanted to be Roland of Gilead really badly in the other RP. I don't want him to miss out.

[Forever Zero]

Ok, I'll have to put a hussle on my search for a character then. I hate being so lazy I don't unpack sooner sometimes...

Since there seems to be a lot of Fantasy characters, I'll hunt down a good sci-fi one. I'm tempted to call Star Wars, but that seems too easy, although it would let me be a jedi and fight Storm Troopers or maybe Yuuzhan Vong since BM's jedi RP fell through...

EDIT: I'll probably go with Star Wars, I'll post a character tomarrow.

[IHateMakingNames]

You can be a Redwall character... I wanted to be mouse size...

[GatoFiero]

The other guy I was thinking of, I can't remember his name, but he is in the book The Forever War, and he gets that nice powered armor I was talking about, but the enemies aren't very good because it turns out at the end of the book none of the aliens were meant for war anyway, and they were losing badly and humanity just didn't know it...

Bah, science fiction has too many twists...[/QUOTE]

*mouth is hanging open* I just started The Forever War.....YOU BETTER HAVE NOT RUINED ANYTHING FOR ME!!! IT BETTER BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE EARLY ON IN THE BOOK THAT THE ALIENS WERE NOT MEANT FOR WAR. OTHERWISE I'LL GUT YOU LIKE A FISH!!!

[Raiden]

Down Gato! Down! Sit boy! Don't make me get the newspaper!

I'll probably end up putting my character in tommorow. Or the day after.

[Forever Zero]

O_O
>_>
<_<

Well, got to go...

I didn't think anyone else would have even heard of it, my dad had an old copy lying around one day and I picked it up and started reading it and got hooked. It is still an awsome read regradless of knowing that. Read it, with my apology for those unwise words, but with the knowledge that it is one of my favorite books and an awsome read. That tidbit doens't play a huge role anyway, it is sort of thrown in at the last minute at one point, you'll see a lot more shocking things that I've left out...

[BMHadoken]

I don't think I'll be Roland, I don't wanna be selfish and take away what Raiden wants and then get grounded after Monday...

Instead, I've narrowed it down to three

(A) Wolf from 'The Talisman' (he's a 'were-wolf' whos really big and hulking, but not overly violent...or smart...in the book he herds sheep, then gets caught up in the journey...but when he gets attacked he fights back, and when he is close to dying *or full moon obviously* he turns into a werewolf...)
OR POSSIBLY
choice (2) One of the adult people from Harry Potter

OR

(C) One of the people from Animorphs

I'm leaning towards (A) since he was my favorite character in my fave book, and since I'd get teased if I chose (2) and my memory is hazy for (C)....

[RangerAidan]

Name: Elminster, Sage of Shadowdale
Book Title: The Temptation of Elminster and forward in the series.
Villain: Name a dark force. Sharrans, followers of Bane, Any of the Red Magi, etc...
Appearance: Very old, with a long white/grey beard. Wears Red mage robes and a matching wizard's hat. Often travels in disguise, though. Carries a staff at times, typically puffs on a magical pipe all day.
Weapons: His magic. He carries a sword under his clothing, and also a staff.
Items: Lots.
Personality: Quiet but kind. Neither aloof nor gregarious. Loving father figure to the daughters of Mystra (Goddess of Magic, keeper of the weave). He has the reserved wisdom of a man who should have died hundreds of years ago, but kept on truckin'. Always plans ahead for every battle or fight.
Skills: He has magic and is damn good at it. He has had some experience in theivery, but it was...er...a while ago. He is physically apt and thus can engage well enough in physical combat, but his true lethality is in his utter mastery of most all magics known to man, and some that are not. He even has some divine spells stored away.
extra: A chosen of Mystra, as well as her lover. He will never die of age, so long as she wills him to live. Can harness the raw energy of the weave and create spellfire, a raging torrent of pure magic that annihilates all in its path.

Yes? No?

[Forever Zero]

Nice counting system BM...

Well, for sheer ability, I don't know anything about the first one, but going Harry Potter will bring Voldemort and his army of monsters, death eaters, and other evils for us to fight, and the Harry Potter good wizards have a big list of spells to choose from, so heck, you could play Lupin and combine a werewolf and a wizard!

As for Animorphs, if you want to do them and need any info, I have all the books so I could fill you in on any info you need(What... stop looking at me like that...), and on the evil front, it would add Viser 3 (sp?) and his long list of super alien monsters, the Taxxons, Hork-Bajar, and Yeerk possesed people to deal with, unless you REALLY want to doom all of us, and just list Crayack as your villian... (I can't remember all the alien names, I'm going to have to read some of those again sometime soon)

[BMHadoken]

using B makes a smily...

And I could do Lupin...but Wolf was so greatly stupid and strong...

And I dropped outta Animorphs around the teens (thats when I became a King-whore), so who is Crayack? Is he a another of those...the uhm...starts with an A...possibly E...god-like powers, could go backwards and forwards and sideways in time....those guys?

[Forever Zero]

Meh, I stuck with animorphs after I started it, although as I got older I could literally read a book in about three hours (Did it, on a long drive somewhere), I still finished it since I like to read and it was still a decent series.

And yeah, it was Crayak and the Ellimist, with Crayak being pure evil, Ellimist being pure good, and both of their fighting wiped out a galaxy once. Crayack could just smash earth to pieces with a comet then pick his teeth with the shattered remains of the world...

[BMHadoken]

Well mehbe I'll go with Axe then...can you possibly sum up the events after...uhh...the Animorphs defeating the Howlers?

[Squishy Cheeks]

I worry about my guy becomming to god moddy, especially with the Orb of Aldur. I remember in the second series when Belgarion is older and more comfortable with his powers being strong enough to change global weather patterns with the orb.

[Raiden]

Sounds good, RangerAiden.

And since BM isn't taking him, I'm gonna be Roland! I'll have the Man in Black be my villian.

Name: Roland of Gilead
Book Title: The Dark Tower Series #1: The Gunslinger
Villian: The Man in Black (AKA Walter)
Appearance: Wears a cowboy hat, and thick leather boots. He has a white shirt with buttons that have been opened to show off some of his chest. He carries a sandalwood-holster revolver on each hip, which have rubbed marks into the jeans he wears. He carries a jawbone in his back pocket, and he has a water canteen and a bag slung on his shoulder. His hair is black, and his eyes are blue. He's around 5' 9" to 6' tall. (BM, in case you are going to say anything, I'm using the Roland from the first book, before he lost his fingers and got the grey hair.)
Items: A canteen of water, some jerky, a poke of tobacco, and his two revolvers.
Personality: Usually sticks to himself, and doesn't let many people get close to him. So far, everyone close to him has died. He's good with his guns, and will use them when necessary. He's wise, and has knowledge of things many people couldn't even begin to comprehend. But he is obsessed about his mission that was given to him.
Skills: Is incredibly skilled with his guns. He can draw his gun so fast, it's almost like his hand was invisible. His aim is so good, he could shoot the wings off a fly that was several meters away.
Extra: Roland's mission is to try and find a place called the Dark Tower. And Walter, the Man in Black, has information that he needs to get there. So, Roland has been chasing after the Man in Black for a long time. The Man in Black is a powerful wizard that can create matter from nothingness, and even bring the dead back to life. And Roland intends to hunt him down, with his guns blazing!

[BMHadoken]

Well technically he carries a nigh-never ending purse filled to the gilgats with god knows what...

And he's had grey hair since his teens (his first trip into the Wizards Orb)...but yeah...and I'll go with Axe, but only if nothing radically changed his character later in the series (character I'm thinking of: alien clueless of human ways and who overenjoys anything remotly edible...)

[Forever Zero]

Umm, err, what where the howlers again? I can't remember all the beginning stuff as well, but I can tell you what happens in the last books.

Basically Viser 1, who is Marco's mom, gets the yeerk killed while doing something but she survives. Viser 3 becomes the new Viser 1, and basically tries multiple unsuccesful plans to start a new world war to lower the human population and make it easier to invade. Eventually he just ignores the scheming and plans a full scale invasion, with Yeerk ships landing and invading all over the world. The Animorphs retreat to the Hork-Bajor valley when the yeerks realise the're humans, plan some more raids, then basically get the remains of the army and a second band of Animorphs to attack the main Yeerk Pool ship in the area. They break in and take over the ship, Kill Viser 1 (formerly Viser 3) and plan on using the Yeerk Pool ship to try and counter attack. Tom tries to escape on the Blade ship, Rachel is on board and kills him but gets killed, and after the Andalite fleet arrives just in time to save the day and wipes out the Yeerk invasion, the war is over, and there is one more book with a wrap up of all the characters and what happens to them. (Whew, that was longer than I expected.)

EDIT: And yes, Ax is still like that up until the end, although you may not want ot use the Ax from the very last book...

[IHateMakingNames]

I think Howlers was the last book I read before giving up on the series, then soon after giving up on reading (So very boring...)

If I'm right, Animorphs win, and the main guy person makes them want to kiss other races or something... So they god guy can't use them anymore

[BMHadoken]

...Wow...thats really convulted...I'm kinda glad I dropped out...

I think I'll go with a vote...should I be Ax (centaur-ish alien with a bladed tail and can transform into anything organic he touches) or Lupin (wizard with a wide variety of spells and a werewolf)?

EDIT: Wait, whats wrong with Ax at the end...they didn't ruin his innocence did they? And whatever happened to those pacifist robots, did they kick ass ever again?

[Forever Zero]

IHMN: I'm the opposite, I read just about anything I can get my hands on. I have a huge collection of Sci-fi/Fantasy books, and if I don't find anything new and good, I'll re-read my old books.

BM: Well, all that was spaced out over the course of like 20 books or something, and didn't seem so convoluted then...

Honestly I don't know, I like both characters personality wise, and both can kick butt in combat.

EDIT: In the last book, Ax goes to investigate some alien anomly and something happens to him. Jake and Marco are sent as part of a rescue team to save him, but when they reach the anomoly, Ax has been transformed by whatever the thing is he was investigating and is now evil, and the final book ends with them about to attack and try to destroy the Alien ship. I think (It never actually says) that Ax and his crew came across Crayack's ship since if he lost a bet with the Ellimist over who won the war, Yeerks or Humans, he was banished or nearly killed or something, and the ship transformed them when the went aboard.

In one book the robots kick butt. The Animorphs invade a Yeerk facility that holds the only supercomputer powerful enough to change the robots programming, and when they get ambushed on the way out, they give him the computer (It's small and from the race that built the robots) and he wipes out an entire base full of Yeerks without taking a scratch. He changes himself back afterwards though.

[Domon]

ok i got one

Name: Johnny (Nick name:NNY)
Book Title:Johnny the homicidal maniac
Villain:People who are goths or jerks
Appearance: tall, skinny, messy hair, black cloths, black boots and generally crazy looking.
Weapons:knives and other sharp things.
Items:a bunny thats nailed to the wall and talks to him.
Personality: Hates goths and mean people. he like squee(his neighbor)
Skills: killing stuff, and writing his comic "Happy Noodle Boy" (its popular among the homeless people in his town.)
Extra:he kills so he can paint a wall in his house with blood to keep an evil demon from coming out.

and if that wount work for you i have another book person.

[BMHadoken]

I always thought of Nny as a goth...you never see him kill goths, just annoying people and jerks...

[Forever Zero]

Well, if nothing else it's an unusual character...

[Domon]

yea i'm not sure now if i want him. i think i want lister from red dwarf. Do you all think thats a better one?

and also BMH your koala bear quote is a little off im only saying that cause its my favorite quote ever.

[BMHadoken]

It'll be replaced by a Hsu and Chan quote at the end of the week...and I prefer the bear one meself...

[IHateMakingNames]

The bear one is the best one...

[Raiden]

You can choose whatever character you want. You just have to make sure that your character can actually hold himself in a fight. There will be lots of fighting, hopefully.

[BMHadoken]

Ahh screw it, I'll just be the alien, already a magic user here anyway...

Name: Ax (the Andalite)
Book Title: Animorphs
Villain: Uhh...Visser 3 (although Apparently hes Visser 1 now...meh)
Appearance: Normal human-ish chest (blue tinged I think), with the legs and body of a horse/deer. No mouth. Two regular eyes, and two eyes on stalks at the top of his head that he can freely swivel around 360 degrees (meaning he can see three directions at once). A tail thats scorpionish, but no poison just slicing ability.
Weapons: Tail, and whatever he transforms into.
Items: None, although he is very acclimated to using technology.
Personality: Happy go lucky and pretty naive. He'll always fight for his friends, and he only kills those he knows are unturnable enemies (if I remember right, he had the chance to kill the host body of Visser 3, but thought it wouldn't be right). Very interested in other ways of life, and he is very proud of his race, so he'll be mad if you make fun of his race.
Skills: Can morph into anything organic he touches, excluding plants. Can only morph for 2 hours, if he stays longer than that, he is stuck in that body.
Extra: Uhh...Forever, did I forget anything?

[Forever Zero]

Nope that sounds pretty much exactly what he's like.

Alright, I'm going Star Wars, but I have a question first. Does the enitre army of our enemy fight us, so if I pick Imperial Era we fight stormtroopers, or if I pick Old Republic we fight the confederacy troops? (Othe choices would be Sith War but I don't know enough, or New Jedi Order and fighting the Yuuzhan Vong but most other people don't know enough...)

[RangerAidan]

ooc: Does it matter? I have enough 9th and epic level spells to lay waste to a solar system...well, maybe a few planets. Army, squad, whatever, we kill them before they kill us.

[BMHadoken]

Yeah...Ranger, (1) We havent started the RP, no need for the ooc...and (2) Your guy is...way overpowered...even if thats totally true to the books, theres really no need for the rest of us with a guy who is a great fighter and master of every known and still to be discovered magic...

[Forever Zero]

Indeed, that sounds waaay to god-moddy. It won't be fun if every enocunter is..

1) Meet baddies
2) Ranger blasts everything
3) Rinse and repeat

And if you tried any magical blasts of galactic doom, the Yuuzhan Vong would just open up a black hole to swallow it, then bring a moon down on your head (which answers my question about using the Yuuzhan Vong timeline...).

I'll probably go with the standard Galactic Empire Era (aka enemies from the movies) since it is the most well know. I'll post a character later tonight.

[BMHadoken]

What I don't get about the Yuzhan Vong (and thats alot since I'm going by what I've heard from the forum) is that they despise technology, but use things in their enviroment which are basically things that act like the technology their fighting...I don't have a dictionary, but isnt technology using things in your enviroment to your advantage...and thats what they do...

Plus, a snake that acts a whip and a sword, and can stand up to lightsabers...what kind of evolutionary jump is that? I thought the Babel fish was pushing it...

[Forever Zero]

They come from another galaxy all together, and they only hate inorganic technology like robots, blasters, and starships, not technology in general, although their priest class restricts most scientific thought or development as hereatical and the Yuuzhan Vong that perform it are generally sacrificed to the gods. Every bit of technology they use was or is alive, and think all non-organic technology is heresy. Their technology doesn't advance futher (except for one exception that appeared later in the books), but it is already at a level superior to the Star Wars universes technology, although the gap was evened out eventually sinc ehte star wars characters DO reasearch new technology.

And I don't know how the Yuuzhan Vong weapons and armor resist lightsabers, it's never really been explained, but it does. There are certain minerals as well that can resist lightsabers, but they only appear in a few of the books, but their only use is protection from lightsabers since they are useless for other things, so most of the galaxy doesn't even know about it.

Also, it wasn't an evolutionary jump, the Yuuzhan Vong genetically alter creatures into weapons, so at some point before they came to the Star Wars galaxy, they created the Amphistaffs as weapons to fight their wars, and a resistance to lightsabers was a side effect they realized later (Their armor is also lightsaber resistant except for a few weak points, but it can be hacked through with brute strength, unlike an amphistaff).

[BMHadoken]

Oh...well, that makes more sense...and I read in the latest EGM that Darth Vader had a castle that you had to Force lift outta the water...called Casa de Vader...say it isnt so...

And concerning the morphing, I remember when the gang 'went back in time' and Visser 3 turned into a giant plant thingy...can Andalites only morph into things with a brain, or anything organic?

[Dante]

Yeah...Ranger, (1) We havent started the RP, no need for the ooc...and (2) Your guy is...way overpowered...even if thats totally true to the books, theres really no need for the rest of us with a guy who is a great fighter and master of every known and still to be discovered magic...

Well, Elminster *is* an insanely munchkin chaarcter in the books... He's under the pesonal protection of a goddess, knows Elven High magic (WTF???) and is immrotal simply because Ed Greenwood says so.

[BMHadoken]

Then I think we should have a vote...if mahjority agrees he should tone it down or get a new character, so be it...

[Forever Zero]

The Casa de Vader is not what it is called. In one book, Luke visits a planet Darth Vader would go to, and finds a place where Vader literally could take apart and put together his own castle through pure force ability from stone massive stones he threw into the bottom of a lake, and Luke repeats the stunt. It is much cooler in the book...

I think they can only animorph into living things with a brain, so if it is a plant like alien with a brain, I think it works. If it has no brain, where does the morphers intelligence manipulate the thing from? I don't know, they only use animals or things with a brain, so I woud go with that.

And if a character is that god-moddy, maybe they should be changed, although final call is of course Raiden's.

[BMHadoken]

Ok, one last thingy I just thought of...

If my guy were to morph into any of the other characters would he get their powers? I know that they took the DNA, but would that carry over for Roland's gunplay or Jad's magic?

[Squishy Cheeks]

Doubt you'd get my sorcery. My charachter was trained his entire life to beable to do it, and he still discovered it by accident. Of course he never knew he was being trained, and he was very whiney about the whole ordeal.

Also, future reference. don't touch his blue jewel. I know it glows all pretty, but DO NOT TOUCH IT. The last person who touched it and didn't have the mark of the orb, had half his body burned away. the only reason he survived was cause he was a god.

[Raiden]

I don't think you'd get their skills. Most of the characters went through a bunch of training to get their skills. The skills a person recieves through training doesn't get ingrained into their DNA. So, you'll look like them, but you can't do their super stuff. I'd recommend sticking with animals.

[BMHadoken]

K then, just wondering...although I'll still get the DNA anyway to fool the enemies or whatnot...and what about Ranger's char being overpowered...

[RangerAidan]

Well, I'm seeing that that nutty DS guy cut himself a bit, sry bout that, I can do some nerfing, np. I was just going, y'know, by the book, but it's cool.
I'll get to my nerfing.

btw I'm a little new to this RP thing, thus the irrelevant ooc's and such.

[Forever Zero]

Hah, finally got my character up.

Name: Luke Skywalker
Book Title: Thrawn Trilogy (Star Wars)
Villain: C'baoth, an insane, dark jedi who's powers rival or are superior to the Emperor's.
Appearance: I'm sure most of you know what Luke looks like, but if you don't... look here http://www.maarasuniverse.com/luke/Lukewhite.jpg
Weapons: Lightsaber with a green blade.
Items: Canteen, blaster back up (I think), spare power cells for his lightsaber, miniture grappling hook.

Personality: Luke is sort of an enlightened warrior. He follows the path of the Light Side of the force, and is developing his skills as the only true remaining Light Jedi Master. He fights for what he believes is right, is a fierce warrior when he must fight, but he doesn't give in to rage, hatred, or anger, for they lead to the Dark Side. He is a source of wisdom and insight, is almost always calm and ready, and does what is necessary as long as it doens't break the Jedi Code.

Skills: One of the greatest lightsaber wielders living, the energy blade of a Jedi can cut or melt through almost everything, has almost no weight, and while being melee only, a Jedi can use his skill with a lightsaber to reflect energy shots shot at him, or use the force to block solid weapons used against him. The Force is the constant companion of a Jedi, and allows them to do eveything from manipulate minds, to heal themselves, to effect physical objects with onlly their mind, but as a Light Jedi, Luke only uses the force for defense and never attack.
Extra: Left hand was replaced with a robotic one, but the hand looks and acts human.

[Raiden]

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

And don't worry about the over-powerful thing. You'll find how to get the balance right soon. You should have seen the first character I made. It was Raiden, the Thunder God swordsman. You couldn't kill that guy. Until the guy that made the RP told me to make a new character, or get the hell out of the RP.

[BMHadoken]

I'm just gunna do a small cough to the side...

And I think I'll have Ax take Jad's DNA (so he has the mark) and touch the orby...he can just morph back all fair and square without a scratch if I remember correctly...

[Forever Zero]

Yeah, anytime they morph, they return to their unhurt status since morphing is through DNA.

So when is this looking to start?

[Raiden]

Tomorrow. I have time tomorrow. I've spent almost all week studying for semester exams. I hate them...so much. So, get your stuff ready for the beginning, because tomorrow is go time!

[IHateMakingNames]

If your guy's leg is broken, and he morphs to something, when he morphs back to normal his leg is still broken...

[Squishy Cheeks]

The orb is an intelligent entity. A very powerful entity. As I said, it kicked a god's ass when said God pissed it off. It for some reason or another thinks of Garion like a puppy thinks of it's master. It would know some how you aren't the real thing, and do you really want to risk pissing off something that powerful?

[Raiden]

He meant to touch the orb while changed into jad's character.

[Squishy Cheeks]

I know, and as I said It would know. The orb in the story only let three people touch it and let them live. Garion, the Father of the gods, and the other became a god. It is sentient being of it's own and it would need it's own reason to let someone else touch it. Even if he was a genetic match, I think the orb would somehow know it wasn't the real Garion.

[Forever Zero]

IHMN, taht's not how the series went. Morphing is through DNA, so if you were shot or broke a limb, all you need to do is morph and it is healed. The problem with that is you can't really move or fight while morphing, and it takes a minute or two to morph, so he couldn't just run in to battle, morphing in and out to be nearly invincible. He would have to retreat from battle for a bit, morph into something, morph back, then return to battle.

[IHateMakingNames]

When I read a book, the bird guy had a broken wing. He morphed, then when he morphed back, the wing was still broken, and worse since the morphing.

[BMHadoken]

What I remember is a girl getting shot, morphing to a bear to attack her attacker, then morphing back unscathed, just tired from morphing...

[Forever Zero]

When I read a book, the bird guy had a broken wing. He morphed, then when he morphed back, the wing was still broken, and worse since the morphing.

I don't remember that one, but there are times there battle morphs would take horrrible stabs and burns and such, and as soon as the morphed, back to normal.

[BMHadoken]

Are we gunna wait for Celes to post her character?

[Forever Zero]

Well if nothing else, we're waitng for Raiden, but it has been days and Celes hasn't posted...

[Squishy Cheeks]

she's trouble finding a female charachter that isn't 1) lame and 2) have a lame villain.

[Dante]

Liriel Baenre from Daughter of the Drow is pretty good. That or Catti-Brie Battlehammer...

[Raiden]

Well, I'm going to be setting up the beginning thread right now. When she has her character and everything, she can put it up here, and I'll find some way to bring her into the story.

[Dante]

Actuslly, why not have DS be the villain and use Dragon Prince Larz-Ulu as the hero?

[Raiden]

Well, whichever one you would rather play as. Remember, we'll most likely be destroying the villians at the end. Which means you're gonna have to find a way to destroy DS for good. I don't care how you do it, but you're gonna have to think of it.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Killing Torak, again, will be hard. He is a god after all. upside is no Angarak's to worship him, but he's probably managed a cult by now.

[Forever Zero]

Well, final battles should be hard, just not impossible. Also, I assume our villians would either bring average footsoldiers with them, would get more when the arrived in the real world, or use their books and the Book Hero making device to just crank out an army of henchmen and lesser evil heros.

[Dante]

Well, whichever one you would rather play as. Remember, we'll most likely be destroying the villians at the end. Which means you're gonna have to find a way to destroy DS for good. I don't care how you do it, but you're gonna have to think of it.

You could just seal him away into a kid's body...

[Raiden]

The thread is up! And I included some henchmen creatures. You'll find out about them in the first post.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Can the villains also have human followers?

[Raiden]

Maybe. I don't see why not. It's just that the Kattos are going to be doing most of the fighting. Any humans that follow them won't do much in the fighting department.

[Squishy Cheeks]

Well Torak as a religious leader would want followers. Also his religion involves the sacrificing of human hearts to a fire. He grants his priests the ability to use sorcery as a boon. They'd be easy to spot since they look like Doctor Doom. Torak took to wearing a metal mask to hide his burned face and his followers emulate him.

[gh0st]

Name: Katla Arensen

Book Title: Sorcery Rising (the Fool's Gold series)

Villain: Tycho Issan, a rich, evil, and thoroughly unlikeable guy with all the morals of a guppy. Also a devotee of some female god that supports various bad and evil things. Katla accidentally killed his eldest son and then ran off with his "blasphemous" younger son and his eldest son's (former) wife. He has lots of evil, dull-witted, muscle-bound henchmen. And the kind of connections that many very rich individuals have. There's actually more to the whole thing, but I wouldn't want to spoil the book for anyone.

Appearance: tall, tanned, and slim, with relatively short and spiky hair (flame red) that she keeps out of her eyes with a bandanna. well-muscled arms and legs.

Weapons: Sword and a dagger, or two daggers, or whatever comes to hand. All her steel weapons would be made by her own hand, and are perfectly balanced and possibly imbued with magic, although it would be magic that she definitely doesn't understand.

Personality: Outspoken, rebellious, scornful of those set in their ways, and generally very wild. too curious for her own good, and she can't turn down an interesting challenge. more stubborn than granite.

Skills: expert sword-forger and street-fighter. a strange (read: magical/mystical) affinity for rocks, leading to an excellence at rock-climbing, and avoiding cave-ins. comes from a merchant clan, so very good at bargaining, and, coincidentally, picking pockets. heh.

Extra: this is Katla from the first book, and i read that quite a while ago, so there might be some innacuracies. this is how i remember it, at least. and, in the book, most of the primary conflict (before she killed his son) between Katla and Tycho derives from the fact that there is a long-seated hatred between their respective cultures. Tycho's folk consider Katla's barbarians and sub-human, and Katla's think Tycho's are arrogant, silly, and hate the fact that they managed to drive them from their homeland.

[CelesJessa]

Name: Tianna
Book Title: Daughters of the Moon (it's a series, she first appears in: "The lost one")
Villain: Stanton- He is one of the leaders of the Antrox, Has the power to get into your mind and read it if you can't mentally block him. If you stare into his eyes, he will take all of your hope.
Appearance: Jet black hair... well, basically, look at the attachment, I know it's small, but it should help.
Weapons: Telekinesis
Items: A moon amulet that starts glowing when there is danger nearby.
Personality: Is fairly confident in herself, and will do whatever is necissary to help her friends.
Skills: She has the power of telekinesis. If she uses it too much, she spaces out and gets sent to the "other realm", her body stays in the real world though, but whatever she would do in the other realm, her body would do in the real world: Ai, if she ran away from the darkness in the other realm, she would start running around randomly in the real world. To bring her back, a person in the real world would have to touch her and talk to her or something to bring her back.
Extra: Her power is extra strong when there is a full moon out, but also, it is much weaker when there is no moon out, or an eclipse. Also, it works vice-versa for Stanton's powers. And his eyes also glow an unnatural yellow in the light of a full moon.

Alright, I just read that book saturday. ^_^ I hope this character is alright.
