The Madness Becomes Real: The Evil's Return/Big Bad Wolf Limited Crossover RP

[Dracorion]

Character Name: Jack Chorster

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Organization: Big Bad Wolf Limited

Class: Addict

Special Abilities: The effects of the blood Jack drinks differs on the kind of demon. He keeps his fridge stacked with Lesser Demon blood, as well as Demonic Hybrids and Blood Summoned demons. Due to the rarity of their appearances, he has never had Greater Demon or Outcast blood. As such, he has no idea what their effects on him would be. The powers he gains only last for so long, varying from the type of demon the blood came from. He can go two days on Lesser Demons, a day on Blood Summoned and less than 24 hours on Demonic Hybrids. If the effects pass and he hasn't ingested demon blood again, Jack crashes, the severity varying depending on the type of blood he last drank.

Enhanced senses: After ingesting demon blood, Jack's senses are enhanced. His eyesight is sharper, hearing is keener, smell is more accute. Under Lesser demon blood, it's three times increase. For Demonic Hybrids, it's six times. When it comes to Blood Summoned demons, it varies depending on the sacrifice, but Jack usually carries blood from a Blood Summoned human sacrifice, which grants him around five times enhancement.

Enhanced Strength, Speed, Endurance: Under the effects of demon blood, Jack becomes stronger, faster and tougher. Under Lesser demon blood, it's three times increase. For Demonic Hybrids, it's six times. When it comes to Blood Summoned demons, it varies depending on the sacrifice, but Jack usually carries blood from a Blood Summoned human sacrifice, which grants him around five times enhancement.

Demon sense: Due to his extended exposure to their blood, Jack can sense the presence of demons (well, their blood) in a 20-mile radius.

Hand-to-hand fighting: To use the advantage granted to him by demon blood to the fullest extent, Jack has trained himself to be excellent at hand-to-hand combat.

Weapons expert: To use the advantage granted to him by demon blood to the fullest extent, Jack has mastered the use of several close-range and long-range weapons. He's an expert using swords, knives and polearms, as well as hanguns, rifles and shotguns.

Bio: Jack was a perfectly normal kid until he was thirteen years old. At thirteen, he was kidnapped by a group of Lesser Demons who experimented on him for five years. They were altering humans to be empowered by the blood of demons, and they succeeded. Jack had become addicted to the blood. What they didn't expect was that Jack would be so powerful, or that none of their conditioning worked and he turned on them. It didn't help that as part of the experiment they taught him what would be the beginnings of his combat training.

Jack never returned home. Instead, he travelled, using his abilities to get money and continue his training. After seven years, he finally found a steady job with Big Bad Wolf Limited. His explanation for his abilities is that the demons that kidnapped him were actually trying to summon a Blood Demon and the summoning went wrong, leaving Jack with full control of himself and all of the demon's strengths and weaknesses.

Equipment/Belonging: Jack wears a brown leather jacket over his jeans and shit. He carries a seemingly unlimited collection of throwing knives hidden around his person: up his sleeves, in his pockets and around his ankles.

"How many of those you got?"
"How many do you need?"

Dual swords and two Beretta 92s in his belt, a Remington 870 shotgun and a AK-101 rifle on his back, as well as extra ammo for everything.

He also carries a couple of flasks of Lesser Demon blood with him in case of emergencies, as well as several empty flasks to replenish on the field.

Notes: I didn't count Least Demons because those sound to me more like mind controlled humans than people actually being physically possessed by demons.

Hmm..., you know what, I'll write up a new character. I like Abdul, but he was probably the most useless character last time. Besides, Teal's character fulfills a function similiar to his, and is overall more useful. I'll have the sheet up later today.

...I'm a decoy?

If I said I have no idea what you mean, would you believe me?

For the record, I wasn't hard on your illusions because we'd picked similar characters. I really was worried about the balance side of it. Didn't see how similar they were until I was explaining the shapeshifting thing.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Character Name: Simon Lombardi

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Organization: Big Bad Wolf Limited

Class: Demo-Man

Special Abilities:

• Blowing shit up: Being a demo-man may or may not be harder than you think. Really, Simon doesn't care how easy it is, its just fun to him He has dedicated himself to mastering the art of blowing shit up. In fact, he is capable of blowing things up by just thinking about it. He doesn't know what kind of 'kinesis' this is, but he loves it. There are limitations though. He can't just think about someone's brain blowing up and have it blow up. They might get a head-ache, but that is probably because of Simon just being himself. It takes a lot of focus for Simon to access this power, and focus is something Simon lacks. Thus, he is limited to inanimate objects. He is limited to objects about the size of a chair, and that size still takes a little while. The shape is also a factor. A brick is easy because its just a simple rectangle, as would be a plastic ball, but something shaped like this would be a bit harder. Range is also a factor, as long as Simon can get the item in focus, then his range is extended much farther far, about 10 yards, but if he didn't have physical contact beforehand. then it is very limited, and he has to be rather close to it to make it start, about 5 yards. Once the item is in Simon's focus, he chooses when it blows up. He can hold onto it as long as he stays within range. If he leaves range, then it is just explodes with no warning.
  
• Agility: Simon is good at maneuvering. He can climb, jump, and run well, to either find a better angle to blow something up, or just hide from something he set to explode.
  
• Fearlessness: Also known as dumbassery. Simon is afraid of nothing. He has no mental restraints. He will follow or disobey an order without a first thought, let alone a second. He does what he wants.
  

Bio: Simon was born in Louisville Kentucky, and lived a pretty easy and quiet life. This was all fine and dandy for a time. Simon went to school, played sports, and was fairly unremarkable, if a little bit hyperactive. Well... aside from his abilities. Throughout his life, Simon was always a fan of fireworks. Living in Louisville, home to one of the biggest fire-work shows in the world, only pushed this a forward a bit.

It was in about 6th grade that he first took notice of his ability. He was skipping stones down a creek, when one of the stones burst into fire. He thought of it as nothing but a freak-occurrence at first, but when he threw another one, it to combusted in a similiar fashion. After some practice, he found he could blow-up small objects with semi-regular results. These were just small rocks though. It was similar to a fire-cracker.

Due to his lack of focus or intelligence, it took Simon a while to reall hone this ability or improve it, so his progress was slow. He mostly just used it to mess with people. Gradually though, he managed to improve it, to a point that the explosions and items could become much more impressive and powerful.

This came to use on a simple day when he was making his way home after work, at age 20. Out of an alleyway, a man with a knife walked towards Simon and demanded that Simon give him his wallet. Simon proceeded to blow the knife up in the mugger's hand and tackle him to the ground. The incident gained hims a small amount of renown in his town, but Big Bad Wolf Limited also took notice. They gave him an offer to use his abilities to help them. After seeing how good the pay was, Simon joined without a second thought. Despite, or in spite of, his lack of rational thinking, Simon has managed to survive and thrive for a whole 7 years. Protecting the Mother of Hell may change that though.

Equipment/Belonging:

• Assorted items: Simon carries multiple light weight items around with him for the purpose of blowing up. These consist mostle of plastic, lightweight bricks and spheres. They vary in size, and some have different functions. A few of them are rubbery and bouncy, some are just simple and still, and few are adhesive, and can stick to surfaces.
  
• Dart gun: A small dart gun that Simon like so carry around. He has had quite a bit of practice with it. Once he shoots it off, the dart will stick to the target, and Simon blows it up. He can make it go boom mid-air, but that is a bit difficult.
  
• Protective gear: a standard pair of goggles and a protective vest, This is meant to stop shrapnel and other crap from getting to him. He takes good car of himself Its a shame he doesn't think to much about the safety of others.
  
• Actual explosives: Simon considers using man-made explosives cheating. Despite this, he does carry around a flare gun hidden deep in his bag. Its mostly used for signaling, because he doesn't like using anything but his own natural born abilities. There are also 2 grenades hidden down in there. Those are last resort things though, just meant in a pinch.
  

Notes: Simon is a brash fellow. He has little care for subtlety and often does things just because they may look or seem cool. He can be a bit quick to act or assume, but he is overall a well meaning guy. He just isn't that smart.

[Toastburner B]

Loki: Approved.

Dracoion: There are a number of things I have to veto in there:

First off, it is coming off as a overpowered.. Six time strength seems a bit excessive (go from benching 200 lbs to 1,200 lbs? No), and sensing demons twenty miles away? Way too far.

Also, it is not like there is a large supply of demon blood out there. Big Bad Wolf Limited isn't a specialized demon hunting group (hence why the Protectors a better demon killers), and most dedicated demon hunters don't really go for tissue samples after. If you manage to convince me to let you keep the concept, you're supply is going to be rather limited.

And you also need better justification. Demon's wouldn't be interested in figuring out how to make humans strong with demon blood when A) They can accomplish the same thing by just getting the human possessed by a demon or sacrificed for a demon, B) demons who are smart enough to do such experiments would be start enough not to do it with demon blood seeming as it requires...well...demon blood with usually requires dead demons C) demons who have managed to this bodies in this world are generally interested in spreading death, destruction, and trying to open the gates, not kidnapping random people to experiment on them for five years.

So...basically no, I guess. If you tweak it really hard and give me really good reason to be powered by demon blood, we can work with this...but it might be easier to start with a fresh character.

On a side note, why is there always a guy who has to drink demon blood or eat demon souls in any RP concerning demons?

Bard: I thought I had addressed this in the sign-up, but it appears to be something I missed...my mistake.

Basically, this is a modern setting RP. I'm with going to a little high on the high tech scale...but really, a mecha is over doing it. I appricate the fact you tried to balance it and everyhting...but no mecha. Like I said, i thought I had spelled that out in the opening post. My mistake for not making sure it was in there, but still...exnay on the echamay.

EDIT

For your information SIGN-UPS WILL GO ON THROUGH MONDAY!. This is mostly because I won't have time to kick this off until then. In the meantime...well...yeah.

Okay, I may have been slightly sleep deprived when I wrote that. I probably meant something like thirty feet.

If it helps, Jack wouldn't be getting 6x strength too often. Still, I get your point. How about 1.5x, 2x and 3x for Lesser Demon, Blood Summoned and Demonic Hybrids respectively?

Fair enough. He'd pretty much only have a decent store of Lesser Demon blood and precious few Blood Summoned and Demonic Hybrid samples that he saves for tough mission.

Okay, let's see. I can't imagine demons being the most tight-knit bunch. They might work together for a mutual purpose, sure, but maybe someone got greedy and wanted an army of people as strong as demons and they didn't want to trust other demons.

Really? A demon can't just grab a knife, cut themselves a little bit and bleed into Jack's mouth?

Maybe they're trying to open a really big gate and need the support. Like a Greater Demon or an Outcast.

This is all stuff I can edit into Jack's profile, you know.

Well, the biggest problem I can't address is that I don't know a demon can't mind control people on a large scale. If they can't they'd have to train people as loyal servants from a young age.

But yeah, if you still can't approve Jack I'll see if I can't come up with a new character.

[Bard The 5th LW]

Rewote Simon, check the previous profile. I'm once again waiting for approval until I write the bio. I still got character concepts, so don't worry about vetoing if you don't like it. I'll give it up without argument.

I'll only do it when it's creepy! Like how Vampires can only teleport when they're trying to be scary, but when the Vampire Slayer pops in with his awesome skills, they jump and dodge like any other person.

[Krylo]

Loki/Drac: Biters.

That is all.

[Toastburner B]

Dracorion: We'll hit the high points and worry about the details later, if it comes to it.

If they aren't going to trust other demons, why in the world would they trust humans? Humans are basically minions to them at best, meat-suits to them at worst...so why would they want to give them demon-like powers, let alone trust them with it?

And, really, the main goal of the demons here, even if they are just operating in a temporary alliance, is to open the Gates. Once the open, the power scale doesn't start at "least", it starts at the equivalent of the high end of "blood-summoned" and goes up from there, with a healthy dose of Greater and Outcast/Fallen level, since they don't have to use any energy to anchor themselves. Basically, if the demons get what they want and the Gates open, the "demon blood army" doesn't amount to spit on the sidewalk on a hot day.

Really? A demon can't just grab a knife, cut themselves a little bit and bleed into Jack's mouth?

True, but why demon blood to begin with? That is just basically asking for trouble...trouble which, surprisingly enough, is the entire concept behind your character!

I mean, really. If there was a super-soldier program, and someone asked "What do you use to power them up?", and the answer was "Human blood", you wouldn't think to yourself "Oh, okay." You'd think to yourself, "What, are you crazy? Isn't that just asking for these guys to go rogue and start killing people to get their super-human fix?"

And you know that is going to be a SyFy original movie someday.

Really, why would demons want to make a superhuman army that is powered off of demon blood? How is that not a recipe for disaster on the demon's part?

Maybe they're trying to open a really big gate and need the support. Like a Greater Demon or an Outcast.

That is what cultists are for. Culties are nice: they are a dime a dozen, are already loyal, and are ready to volunteer to kill people to summon demons and to have their own bodies act as vessels.

Heck, getting back to a previous point, demons would just use cultists in an experiment like this instead of kidnapping random people off of the street. Why give super powers to random, unknown people when you can give them to loyal, obedient minions?

Well, the biggest problem I can't address is that I don't know a demon can't mind control people on a large scale. If they can't they'd have to train people as loyal servants from a young age.

See: cultists. There are always people willing to trade their humanity for power, or believe that it is better to be at the Devil's right hand than in his path...especially, when in this case, it's "devils". And just like groups like the Society have long family lines in the demon hunting business, there are long family lines in the demon-serving business. Demons are not at want for humany minions.

And demon's can mind control per se, but the untrained by be possessed by least demons. About the same, but you have to summon each least demon individually. Not that I really see what mind control has to do with your character, seeming as I assume he wasn't mind controlled, seeming as he killed the demons holding him.

But yeah, if you still can't approve Jack I'll see if I can't come up with a new character.

Yeah...we'll say that I still can't approve Jack.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Bard: That will work. But I will tell you the same thing I told Krylo: Simon does have to follow orders to an extent. If he was a complete loose cannon, Big Bad Wolf Limited would of have hired him.
