ARMS War

[Aerozord]

you wake up in a room, a man standing over you in a suit, a bright light shining above you, obscuring your view. As you try to move you discover that you are completely restrained. "now I bet you are full of questions, why am I here, who are you, but none of that matters. All you need to know, are the rules" He tells you calmly, pulling out a vile of blue glowing liquid. Jamming a needle into it "you have been selected to enter a tournament. A battle royal to the death. Why are we doing this? You dont need to know, the winner will receive 100 million, and a full pardon for any crimes committed during the tournament." Disinfecting your arm. he slides in the needle, "To make things more interesting, you will command the Augmented Replicating Modular System. ARMS will enhance your physical abilities, and through force of will you can sacrifice those advantages for superhuman abilities though once altered you cannot cannibalize these powers, they are perminant. Upon killing your enemy you can drain all the ARMS from them to enhance your own power, though any alterations they have you will gain as well." Pulling out the needle. "When near another ARMS user, you will gain a vague awareness of their presence. This never gets more exact then a few hundred feet, but with dedication anyone can be tracked so if you want to stay alive I suggest you fight. Oh and do not tell anyone, they will not believe you, and we will eliminate them just to be sure" As he walks away you feel yourself losing conciousness. "Welcome to the ARMS Run"

You awake near where you were abducted, a bank card with a pin number in your pocket. The note simply read "for expences" with a thousand dollars in the account. A few days had passed and more importantly you could feel it, an odd sensation that somehow you understood. The others, they were near.
**********************************************

As the intro described, you start out with a small amount of ARMS, it is mixed in with your blood and gives you exceptional athletic ability nearing the human limit. You tire rarely and even sleep less. ARMS regenerates itself, since the first dose merges with your blood it is nearly impossible to bleed out. If you consume enough ARMS to replace other body parts although slower. Say ARMS replaces their whole body, then as long as they are alive they will fully heal from anything. Although in theory one could be revived with ARMS, since the winner strips away the losers ARMS this becomes moot. And when I say stripped away, I mean whatever has been altered, at the very least you will be completely draining the loser of blood as it assimilates with your body

Initially it is unnoticable. But after a few kills oddly colored veins begin appearing, and soon the skin changes too and slowly body parts begin being replaced. These replaced body parts function well beyond the human limit, and at the cost of allowing ARMS to spread inhuman alterations can be made. Ranging from even greater strength, to claws or a tail, even to breathing fire and telekenisis.

Keep in mind unless altered ARMS users are human. Lethal weapons stay lethal. ARMS is measured in units, with one unit being equal to what everyone started with. A unit is also enough to convert 1% of the human body, and regenerates at one unit an hour. Players will start with 20 kills, and thus 20 units of ARMS to spend. Inhuman alterations have clearly inhuman appearance so although less of your body is covered, the parts that are, are harder to hide. Conversions are as follows

2- basic physical enhancements, claws, fangs, small increases to strength or speed. For 3 these alterations can be added to parts not converted by ARMS

3- Major alterations to body, added limbs, wings, and organic weapons such as posions and acid, for 4 can add these to other parts of the body

5- Unnatural modifications, wingless flight, lightning, excellerated regeneration

10- Impossible for parts not altered by ARMS, these are highly destructive or protective powers. Energy cannons, defensive shields, instant regeneration, a punch that can crater the earth, are all examples.

Since you start with 20, about enough to fully convert one limb, 10 is basically off limits, but as the game progresses you will get more points.

Unless I get more then 5 people everyone will be on the same team.

[Astral Harmony]

Eh, I'll give it a shot, although it seems that the RP forum is quite inactive due to various reasons (college exams, bar mitzvahs, yadda-yadda-yadda).

Name: Setsuki Himuro
Gender: Female
Appearance: 15-year old japanese girl with long hair in two ponytails. The ponytails have been dyed a stark white. Her eyes are black. She has a small build, petite figure, and light skin tone. Her ARMS is focused into her legs. The skin at the base of the foot up to just above her knees has become a dull silver with strange blue veins running along them.

ARMS
Conversion
- ARMS Used / Total: 20 / 29
- Legs Conversion (20 ARMS Units): Total conversion of Setsuki's legs from toes to some halfway point between knees and thighs, roughly 20% of Setsuki's total body mass. Leg area converted by ARMS is paler than the rest of the body, almost silver in color, with blue veins emanating a pale blue light.

Equipment: Two kunai, each a foot and a half in length, made of carbon steel. She also possesses a lockpick set.
Backstory: Taken from her parents by those whom they owe money they couldn't pay, Setsuki was staffed into the trade of professional killers from a sinfully-young age. Crying and screaming at first, Setsuki adapted rapidly, expecially after her first contract. Now she's a cold and ruthless killer. However, if one looks close one might see the fathomless sadness reflected in her eyes.
Her parents came into financial issues when they sought out the wrong people to borrow money from for the purpose of building a ski lodge complete with hot springs. No such luck in the way of customers, unfortunately. Owing Setsuki's new family a good half of a million dollars in the original loan and in interest, they now slave in the ski lodge they had built.
Motivation: Taught constantly that her life was only worth living so long as she had honor (which meant successfully fulfilling her contracts), Setsuki's drive to keeping just a step ahead of death's grasp has left her with little mercy and shame. With a cool hundred-million and a body rendered more or less invincible by ARMS, Setsuki plans to help her family more than they can ever have dreamed and kill her masters in ways that would surprise even her. Except for Rokusuke, the one who managed her from her training to her missions. She actually likes him. He is kind, handsome, and smart, often treating Setsuki like a younger sister. Setsuki isn't quite sure if it's love yet, but she'd like it very much if he wouldn't stand in her way when she came down with the wrath of god on the people who took away her innocense.
Alignment: Evil

[Overcast]

Hmm, finally crept out of the good ol CP to notice there is something new.

Let's see if I can do this right.

Name: Donovan
Gender: Male
Appearance: An oddly thin individual, he has the odd look of a man somewhere between 18 and 28 and bald head that on days when he doesn't shave develops into a short layer of black bristles. His skin for most of his body is a slightly tanned white, the kind that isn't overactive, but says he is out often. The skin of his scalp seems to pulsate and shudder, veins pumping noticeably toward it and while his pupils are normal his irises seem far too large for his eyes, making it look like the whole thing is brown.

ARMS:

Bodily Function(4 ARMS): By concentrating on how the body is reacting to its environment Donovan can correct bodily functions or force chemical responses.(Nothing beyond human possibility, and retaining constant control of the workings of the body can be dangerous.)
Genius(2 ARMS): Donovan is smart. Smart enough that he can work out complex problems that would take most many an hour in his head. He puts this to work primarily though the use of bullets, by taking in all the variables he has gained the ability of an amazing shot. At the same time it can be used for conventional things.
Reflexive(4 ARMS): The streamlined connection of Donovan's peripheral nervous system to his brain is enough to make his reflexes almost immediate allowing him to respond to a situation with a bit more speed than the average individual.
Slow motion(5 ARMS): Through the rapid augmentation of all of his sensory organs he can take in information much faster than a common person and allowing him to know things almost exactly when they happen. To compensate for this delay he has a slower perception of time. Allowing him more time to figure out how to respond to a situation with his already fantastic mind.

Remaining ARMS: 5

Equipment: Four Mateba Model 6 Unica Autorevolvers, two in Dynamic Sportiva variant shooting .357 Magnum bullets with a 5" barrel and two in Hunter variant shooting .44 Magnum bullets and an 8" barrel. Each has it's own custom made holster at his hips, one of each type on each side. And three loaded speedloaders for each gun kept in a bag that typically falls to his back, that also keeps loose ammo.
Backstory: Donovan was at one point a moderately smart kid thinking about become a biologist, due mostly because even before the competition he had a drastic fear of death. So he hoped that through the development of medicines he might be able to save himself from the troubles the world might possibly throw his way. Then they took him. He doesn't know why they did but he has adapted quickly, being as fearful as he is of death he had to. While his first kill was awkward for both parties he has eventually come to develop the skills they have forced into his head. He doesn't know exactly how to solve the problem of being hunted by a group of superfreaks that are slowly growing stranger just like himself, so for now he will play the game. As long as his life is at stake he will do anything to live.
Motivation: While his prime motivation for actually participating is his drastic fear of death he also continues out of curiosity of just how powerful he can become, and why this was done to him to begin with.
Alignment: Neutral Evil

[rapter200]

Name: Abaddon (a/buh/dun)

Gender: Male

Appearance: As a human Abaddon’s form was that of a 23 year old man. About 6” tall with brown hair and blue eyes, he had dashingly good looks. He was a muscular man who liked to work out for about an hour or two a day. But that is all changing, due to ARMS. His hands have decayed completely due to ARMS, now nothing more than bone. His face has started to decay, and his eye balls are now nothing more than piercing blue lights.

ARMS:

Terror (5 ARMS units): Abaddon's eyes cause an unnatural fear to come over anyone who he makes eye contact with. A terror so great that it can freeze normal humans with fear, and cause other ARMS infected to doubt their movements, and there ability to win.

Decay (5 ARMS units): When Abaddon's hands are in contact with something he can cause it to decay.

Reanimate (5 ARMS units): Abaddon is able to reanimate any former living creature. These zombies obey his commands.

Remaining ARMS 5, these 5 ARMS alter his eyes and both hands.


Equipment: Abaddon carries a Colt 1911 engraved with Death rises in Latin.

Backstory: During life Abaddon was a businessman named John Tokarski, climbing up the corporate ladder. But since ARMS was introduced into his body he has stalked the city killing out of what felt like a need to kill. The first person he killed he watched as the man’s body slowly decayed into a pile of rotting flesh writhing with maggots. Since then he has savored every kill, committing each one to memory.

Motivation: Abaddon fights to kill others, ever since he changed Abaddon has felt a need to kill others, reveling in each kill.
Allignment: Chaotic Evil

Hmm a thing I am sure of Rap is that he has made sure that level 10 things are not possible right now. Also I think we can only concentrate on one limb, not sure right now, but like Don concentrates on his head and spends extra for the rest of the nervous system and Setsuki on the leg.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

I'm interested. Just lemme write up a pending character sheet...

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing as I was writing that, but didn't want to lose my train of thought. I will go edit it.

[Attila the Pun]

Name: Felix

Gender: Male

Appearance: 5'5 19 year old. Wearing a yelllow shirt and jeans. Has a wary look in his eyes.

ARMS:

Magnified agility (5) :Felix can move his body with increased speed and precision.

Arc sight (5) : Felix's sight can arc over and around buildings and other obstacles

Flame resistance (3) Felix isn't harmed by fire as much as a normal human being, but can still be harmed by it and can still get burned.

(7 arms left)

Equipment: Benchmade model 42 Balisong (butterfly knife), lighter, Glock 19, a holster attached to his pants, 3 bottles filled with petrol, 3 rags and a backpack.

Backstory :A self taught martial artist who was bullien in his youth, Felix lost his parents to some "Misfire" by the police, he than grew up bulied and became arson. He loved setting things on fire. He was moving to light something else one day when he was captured by scentist looking guys. They told him about a race, injected him with some needles and ploped him back where he was before. He then coutinued on his day and found out his site was changed, in that he could actually see around objects. He could also control his body with increased speed and precision. He tested this by robbing a store, and shot a gas can by mistake. He thought he was dead, but found out that he was almost completly unharmed. He then stole himself a glock, and the owners Balisong. He then began to dwell on this ARMS thing he was told about and wondered who the other "participants" were.

Motivation: To get back at society and to reek vengeance upon it.

Allignment: Chaotic Evil

[Astral Harmony]

Updated my profile after considering what to put those ARMS units into as well as fleshing out her backstory and motivations.

[Rhiya Ravenwing]

Eh, on second thoughts, it looks like the group of 5 has filled up before I could make my character. I guess I'll sit out.

[ApatheticFoxboy]

I don't think there's a reason to sit out yet, RR. I'm very interested in his RP. If the number of players go pass five, I'm sure Aero has a backup plan for it.

[Wizardcat]

Question! If we all start with 1 ARMS, and we killed 20 people who, presumably, had 1 ARMS each, shouldn't we have at least 21 ARMS to use? Also, given that '20% of your body' doesn't necessitate it being a single portion, I figured that multiple body parts could be converted, as long as they were small enough. Ehehe.

Name: Devin Callahan
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'8, 120lbs. Curly black mid-length hair that tends to be messy. Caucasian. Thanks to the ARMS injection, Devin's slight build is now roughly about that of the average person, but still hides his newfound physical prowess. His hands, the main focus of the ARMS, have changed shape, in addition to taking on a purplish hue. The nails have transformed into protractible catlike claws, using his fingers as sheathes. He always wears gloves for this reason. The other focus of his ARMS is his eyes; the irises have taken on the elliptical shape of that of a cat's. The brown color of them has also warped, splitting into several different colors, making it quite the memorable sight. Luckily, they're easy to hide with sunglasses.

ARMS:
Feline Claws (2 ARMS): A set of protractible claws on each hand have replaced the nails there, giving Devin a pair of deadly weapons for close-up fighting. They slice through normal human skin quite efficiently, and seem to cause more bleeding than one would expect. Claws have uses outside of combat, as well, such as climbing.

Venom (3 ARMS): A neurotoxin covers Devin's claws, giving him another method of dispatching opponents. This particular one induces paralysis, the strength and immediacy of which is affected by how much of the venom is transferred. Devin theorizes that his blood might also carry some of these properties, but hasn't yet tested this theory, for obvious reasons.

Enhanced Vision (2 ARMS): His vision is much sharper now, and he can see much further than he originally could. Night vision is another bonus, making areas with low amounts of light as plain of day. Absolute darkness is still dark, however.

Enhanced Speed (3 ARMS): Exactly what it says on the tin. Devin is able to move at speeds faster than even most other ARMS-infected. Perfect for a surprise attack, striking quickly, or fleeing should the situation get too dangerous.

Enhanced Agility (3 ARMS): Also exactly what it says on the tin. Devin reacts quickly to situations, making it easier to dodge attacks, change directions quickly, perform acrobatics, et cetera.

Accelerated Regeneration (5 ARMS): The ability to regenerate from damage incurred from various means much more quickly than normal. Flesh wounds and mild to moderate bleeding will heal within a minute or so, while more extensive damage could take up to several hours. Multiple sources of harm slows down the process.

Remaining ARMS: 2 7

Equipment: A motorcycle.

Backstory: Devin was a freshman in college studying psychology before the ARMS Run began. He has since left, instead traveling wherever the odd sensation led him. He stole the motorcycle of the first person he had killed, deciding that a means of transportation was necessary. He later added other elements to his wardrobe, a outfit consisting of black leather and reflective sunglasses, taking on the appearance of a biker. It looked the part and provided an excuse for his travels. People just see a biker going in and out, and never think to connect to nameless, faceless vagrant with the murder here and there.

Motivation: Survival. If the other participants are to hunt the others down, that might include him; best to take them out, first. That one hundred million doesn't sound too bad, either.

Allignment: True Neutral

[Overcast]

Hmm considering all the speed freaks I think I have an idea for what to do with those last five ARMS. Editing now.

[Aerozord]

ok I think I need to specify something. because alot of profiles make this mistake. If you spend all your ARMS on upgrades, said upgrades become next to worthless. The upgrades augment the parts of the body that are already converted. 10 point powers are the best example of this, and why they are useless to start. Lets say you get the 10 point power instant regeneration and convert 10% of your body with the other points, that means you can only regenerate that 10%. So yes you can instantly regenerate your right hand but that wont help you much in a fight.

Spending points on powers sacrifices the amount of your body thats enhanced. And any power you use comes from the ARMS you have. If you spend all 20 of your points that means the entirety of all your powers is being supported by that original bit of ARMS that has modified your blood, even a paper cut will weaken you and if you are bleeding enough your powers are gone.

So to clearify, you want unspent points, unspent points means more of you is stronger, faster, more resilient, and able to heal. If you spend all 20 points to convert your right arm, that right arm is not only physically powerful but if its cut off it will be back in a day. At the cost of only 2 points you can enhance that arm further and be able to smash stone.

More importantly unspent ARMS just causes some discoloration, making it easy to hide. Spent points cause obvious alterations, lengthened limbs, unnatural muscle growth, oozing odd liquids. Not standing out in a crowd is an advantage when super powered humans are hunting you.

I appologize for stating it so poorly in my opening post, and hope this clears things up

[Overcast]

Hmm on that one I think I'll cut the telekinetic, all nerves.

[Aerozord]

yes, I will wait abit before saying whats approved, as I figured knowing this people might want to rethink their points. Especially since once you have them you are stuck with them. Also because most of you didn't mention what your remaining points alter and its easier for me to make a general statement then saying nearly everyone has to add it

Oh and unless precidence is set, during gameplay PM me when you want to spend points to make sure the power is approved. Dont worry about it now, but for later.

PS 5 is not the player cap. 5 on a team, if there are more then five then there will be more then one team

[Aerozord]

ok hate to double post but, I got some time, so here are the notes and satus of those so far

Mac: Already discussed with you the specifics, long as you remember that approved

AB: ok the only big issue is the stealth, Its more of a ten point power. You also have missjudged the points. Assuming this is all based around enhanced legs, jumping is 3, and speed would be 2. Keep in mind your legs will not look human. I suggest you drop the alloy skin for now and put all your points into converting your legs with ARMS. Both legs would take about 40 units, but they would automatically get several minor enhancements, all of which you are working towards already.

Overcast: over all its good, you got enough ARMS left to convert your brain and nervous system. Be aware slow motion thing doesn't let you go beyond human limits, not like you can dodge bullets or anything but I'm betting you figured that out. Approved

Raptor: Decay would be pushing even a ten point power. Decaying something without needing to actually interact with it is a massive advantage, I'll allow the reanimating but only if you either ditch the telepathic link or have some sort of physical connection like a string or something. In any case they will be slow weak fodder to be clear.

Atila: only parts of you altered by ARMS would be immune to fire. Though the big thing is, I get where you are going with the lighter and flammable blood but, it wouldn't really help you, you only have so much blood and frankly carrying around a canister of gas would accomplish the same thing.

Wizardcat: looks good, approved

[Attila the Pun]

There, I revised my character sheet.

[Overcast]

The slow motion thing should only be a perception. In reality he still moves as quickly as anyone else unless he uses Bodily Function to up his metabolism and adrenaline creation. As said in the description it is primarily to help him respond to things. He cannot dodge bullets, but he can probably notice when a trigger finger is about to twitch and avoid vital organ impact.

[rapter200]

Ok edited decay so that he has to be in contact with his victim to do anything to it. Edited Reanimate so that there is no telepathic link, rather they just listen to his commands. Also explained what terror actually does.

[ApatheticFoxboy]

Profile
Name: Neville "Angel" Cross
Gender: Male
Appearance: Neville must have been a baseball nut at some point in his life. You will never see him without some jersey number on his back. But if you see those seams tearing apart, best step back. After ripping jersey number 25, his wing span is impressive. More inconspicuously, he wears a heavy sports jacket and baseball cap.
ARMS:
(5 units) Back converted to ARMS
(3 units) Angelic Wings
(4 units) Increased wing strength, and speed
8 unspent units
Equipment: An aluminum bat
Backstory: Until that first jackass stormed his apartment building, Neville was able to push his experience to the back of his head. One brief battle and a fall from his roof later, his situation became much more immediate.

The nickname came before the wings. At this point in his ARMS Run career he should be much more powerful. Fact is he's only defeated five of his opponents. Each stronger than the last. Each thinking they'd rip this hippie's fucking head off. But Neville still considers the possibility of an alliance with each foe that comes to fore. Nobody's plans ever go totally they're way.

Motivation: Through his opponents he's gain some contacts, but not much ARMS. Ideally he'd like for all competition in the tournament to stop, and force management to make a move.
Alignment: Chaotic Good

[Astral Harmony]

Okay, I get the system now, and I fixed it. First, you need to put ARMS Units into actually converting your body into...ARMS flesh, I guess, to set a base for where you would spend additional ARMS Units to give that ARMS flesh powers beyond what it already comes with.

Confused, everyone? I was as well, but think of it like this:

Suppose I want Setsuki to be able to slice through anything with one of her legs. First, I would need to spend 20 ARMS Units to convert that whole leg into ARMS flesh and THEN spending an additional 10 ARMS Units to making it possible for that ARMS flesh leg to actually slice stuff up.

I suppose it's possible for Setsuki to have that now if I spent only 10 ARMS Units to convert the leg up to around the knee into ARMS flesh and then spending the other 10 ARMS Units to granting that converted flesh the slicing ability.

...

Given how many ARMS Units it seems to require to become something truely badass, Setsuki's going to friggin' kill every last one of you. After all, you're all at least 20 ARMS Units apiece, right? Oh, yeah, kill at least five of ya and Setsuki'd have 100 ARMS Units to spend. 80 would turn her all ARMS flesh with 20 to give her some truely horrifying abilities.

[Overcast]

I'm sure there will be enough NPC freaks for us to kill and cannibalize for their ARMS before it comes to that. Though I figure the slow progression toward total bad ass is reasonable enough, makes it so you have to struggle in the early stages, though as time goes on we all adapt and figure out what we truly want to improve. Even with just the legs converted Setsuki would be moving like that guy on Prototype kicking bullets back at the shooters, riding on missiles and redirecting them, slicing through landmarks she didn't even hit, and impacting with so much strength the skyscrapers start to crumble. And that's probably with just two kills on another team if she hogs all the ARMS.

[ApatheticFoxboy]

Prototype looks like a kick ass game with epic action. I certainly hope I'm not up against AB with that kind of power scale.

[Krylo]

Name: Dorian Mistel
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5'8", caucasian, 167lbs, dark brown hair, hazel eyes. Left arm is completely afflicted by ARMS, though this is not readily apparent. He normally wears concealing clothing that can inconspicuously hide his face. Baseball hats with glasses, hoodies, long coats with high collars, etc.
ARMS:

Molecular Reconstruction (10): Basically shape shifting. Dorian can not alter the mass of infected areas, but he may stretch them, increase their density, alter their coloring, and shape them freely. It normally appears as a normal arm. In battle this changes. Usually multiple times.

10 units used for arm to ARMS conversion.

Equipment: A nine mil glock and sufficient ammo taken from a banger.
Backstory: Dorian was a mostly average High School student before the incident, with little concern for grades--just dating, partying, having a good time. It was after one of these parties that he was taken. At first he just thought he had drank too much, and passed out. Had some strange dreams. Super Powered Secret Fighting Tournament? Ridiculous. Too much bad TV and too many nachos. Well that's what he thought until he was attacked on his way home from school by someone with strange powers. Stronger and faster than anyone Dorian had ever seen--and Dorian was his equal. It didn't make sense.

It did, however, make more sense than what happened after Dorian had killed his assailant in self-defense. It was gruesome, vampiric, and, above all, strange. His blood seemed to seep out of his hand and attach itself to the slain man, digging in, and pulling back, his victim's blood traveling with. Dorian knew he was cannibalizing the other's powers. That he hadn't been dreaming.

He didn't go home that night. He was going to use these powers to find that man with the needle and kill him, and his employers. He'd take the money from their cold dead hands, and then take his life back.
Motivation: Survival. True goal is to figure out who's organized this thing and get his life back.
Allignment: Chaotic Neutral

[Astral Harmony]

Prototype looks like a kick ass game with epic action. I certainly hope I'm not up against AB with that kind of power scale.

I highly doubt Setsuki'd be that strong. Judging from what was said in the first post, her legs just above the knees could regenerate completely, even if sliced clean off. They can heal quickly from considerable wounds, the muscles would probably never tire, cramp, fall asleep, or indicate pain...hmmm, oh, and she could skillfully pick locks with her toes, now. Or maybe she'll need some ARMS Units into some kind of advanced dexterity.

[Overcast]

Heh well my scale was based on the possibility of ridiculous enhancement from further cannibalistic murders. Mmm graphic cannibalism. That'll be fun to type.

[Aerozord]

If you are already approved you still are, this is only for those that made changes or weren't yet

AB: Approved

Apatheticfoxboy: Your wings are a 3-point power if you just have your ARMS on your back. However I do not think you realize, your wings aren't retractable. The more ARMS you have the more obvious your inhuman nature is. I suggest big coats

Krylo: I will assume you understand the pros and cons of doing things like altering denisty. Just remember although you can make it look normal it isn't invulentary, so if you are knocked out or sleeping it will revert back. I need your background before I can OK it, but otherwise its fine.

Atilla: umm... 7-point powers aren't even an option.

Raptor: Your fear would only be effective if people have legit reason to fear you. If they are a good degree above your power it wont work, atleast not as a level 5 power. Decay, I am very iffy on this. There are alot of variables to consider, how fast it works, how it affects living and inorganic material, long term effects, ect. For a free-form RP I'm not sure its do-able

Ok sign-ups are closing at the end of the day, we have a good number of players now. I might actually split people up into two groups, whether they are tight alliances or uneasy treaty is up to your player.

A few things about the game and what to expect.

I saw you were discussing power levels. You guys are still on the low end, which is obvious by the fact you still use mundane weapons. The more ARMS you get the stronger you become, I doubt I need to explain how someone with 200 units could do, and OOC, there is ALOT more then that. Though I'm keeping exact number to myself.

In game I will be trying something out, I like to call it "BREAKING NEWS" which will take the form of news reports about any major events, which will become more common as the existance of ARMS becomes more obvious. They will also give faux character sheets, be aware this will not be the NPCs actual sheet, but list what people believe to be accurate. For example they might say someones power is invulnerability, but really its just rapid regeneration

Ok tomorrow or tuesday I will start the RP, depending on if we get any last minute drop-ins

[ApatheticFoxboy]

Apatheticfoxboy: Your wings are a 3-point power if you just have your ARMS on your back. However I do not think you realize, your wings aren't retractable. The more ARMS you have the more obvious your inhuman nature is. I suggest big coats
Yes that makes since. I'll move around my ARMS to make this happen. Big angel wings would be difficult to hide as they are, and would require a heavy ass coat. On the other hand if said wings got ripped off(in a attack or otherwise), what we'd have are two stumps easily concealable. Having complete control over my regeneration, I could keep those stumps as is until I really needed it. Of course, this is only permissible until you give me the thumps up.

Yes I Agree with you on terror and for decay it is a slow acting power or more of a ending move you know like in the mortal kombat games, a finishing move to make things go out with style. It would be a slow acting power that takes a lot of concentration and requires direct contact. So truthfully it can only be used on people who are about to die anyway. Now if you want it can be ineffective against inorganic material until much later. I can always take it out and use the 5 ARMS to convert more body parts as well if you would like.

Yes that makes since. I'll move around my ARMS to make this happen. Big angel wings would be difficult to hide as they are, and would require a heavy ass coat. On the other hand if said wings got ripped off(in a attack or otherwise), what we'd have are two stumps easily concealable. Having complete control over my regeneration, I could keep those stumps as is until I really needed it. Of course, this is only permissible until you give me the thumps up.
but it takes time to regenerate, they'd take a couple of hours. I mean you could take instant regeneration, but that by itself is a ten point power

hmm ok, I'll give it the ok then

[Attila the Pun]

Final change, HOPEFULLY. If i'm lucky.

[Aerozord]

you only updated your powers, and not your backstory which now makes no sense. I also do not know what you intend to use higher dexterity for. Its good for precise work like surgery or electronics, and I saw nothing that would make me think he'd do either, and it doesn't help with much like shooting or throwing.

Krylo, still need your backstory by the end of the day. I wont be starting it today as I'm entertaining family. Expect it to start early tomorrow

[Krylo]

Sorry, computer was acting up yesterday.

Bio done.

[PhoenixFlame]

Eh. Why not? Krylo might want a friend.

Name: Yumiko Sukuro
Gender: Female
Appearance: 18, 5'6", 109lbs, shoulder-length black hair, brown eyes, highschool uniform. Relatively normal looking, except for that ominous reflective-orange metallic hexagonal cylinder where her lower right arm should be.

ARMS:
"Ares-Five" General Nuclear Fusion Cannon (10): Appearing as a polished reflective hexagonal cylinder glinting an odd orange in the sun's lighting, this lower arm replacement is actually a powerful and deceptively simple nuclear fusion cannon.

Operating at variable charge depending on length of time fired, it projects a packet of energy that incites spontaneous nuclear fusion at the target point, instantly and painlessly vaporizing the targetted area. At maximum charge, it is perhaps capable of mostly destroying small buildings.

The weapon has a fifteen second recycle time between discharging and re-charging. Obviously incredibly powerful, with equally incredible disadvantages.

10 units used for right-arm to ARMS conversion.

Equipment: Not much, besides a combat knife taken from a previous combatant to serve as a melee weapon.

Backstory: Yumiko was your average japanese highschool student until a few days ago, when she was kidnapped to play in this demented little game. She'd seen movies like 'battle royale' before, but never expected anything like this could actually come true! Now it's her or them, and they're not even mostly human anymore, for whatever small solace that provides.

Motivation: Purge the other ARMS users, find instigator, kill him. It's a sad job, but someone's got to make sure these abominations don't survive the week.

Allignment: True Neutral

[Attila the Pun]

There. I suppose if this isn't good i'm opting.

[Aerozord]

ok NPF decided to die when I sent my reply, so I am giving everyone the short version

Attila, you said you were dropping out if it still wasn't accepted, so I am marking you as a drop. Phoenix you are late to the sign-up but your profile checks out so I'll approve it

Teams are
Mac
AB
Overcast
Raptor
Who seek to continue through the battle, though it varies quite abit since Mac just wants to survive while somone like AB wants to satisfy a vendetta

Wizardcat
Apathetic
Krylo
Phoenix
Seek to stop the war and/or kill those responsible

As a note, feel free to do more then just hunt and kill. Never said you couldn't build an empire to help you win
