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.

I'll bite

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

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.

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