Title: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Phi on August 20, 2014, 05:06:52 AM
As I understand it, supplements, in this case, are backstories/origins of characters or events.

This topic will be used to freely post about your character's humble beginnings, add-on to a plot point you want to further flesh out, create summaries of certain locales, etc.

As a suggestion, it may be best to write the name of the RP that your post refers to.

Annnnd nothing much more to say, really!

Enjoy, go nuts and all that.

On that note everyone in the RPM Adventure RP could you do a post concerning your characters current motivations and quests that way I can quickly check when I want to give you all a plot hook for your stories.

Talyn is hoping to find a long forgotten Elven relic that was lost in Zepter countless ages ago. She hopes to use it so her hometown will forgive her for an as-of-yet unrevealed event that caused her to be exiled.

"As for my reason on pursuing such a perilous quest, well, I was sent by my King to retrieve Zepter's treaures. My Kingdom isn't quite as prosperous as it once was and our allies have severed their ties with us. Some have left in hopes of a better place to support their families, others are more loyal and have stayed with us through the worst of times. With Zepter's vast treasure, my Kingdom has a chance to stand tall, once again."

She's also on this journey for the sake of her younger sister, as well.

As for quests, well, the one I mentioned before about her completing the 3 Trials of Avalon. Further information regarding that: King Arthur was the first person to pass those trials (DUN DUN DUNNNN), 'cause you know, Avalon and Camelot are all things from Arthurian legend.

So, yeah, it's tied to this. Or rather, a version of it that I made.

((Also if you want to make a plot hook at any point for your own stories go ahead I'm just providing the basic narrative for everyone to follow.))

Reva is the only child of the famous explorer Ruelian, in his day he explored many lands both near and far and was said to have amassed a small fortune. Following in his footsteps Reva has set out for Zepter claiming she desires to be famous like her father by discovering the crown of the beast king.

She wields a triangular longsword with a translucent blade, while it gives off a light magical aura it's clearly lost most of it's power and is likely a treasure of her family. Her buckler is of little interest a simple iron shield light weight but sturdy enough. Her finally item of interest is her emblem a symbol of Bahamut the king of dragons, while she claims it was simply a treasure of her family there may be more to her owning this trinket that she is letting on.

Reva has little problem expressing her self and she is certainly not shy given her choice in attire (a leotard with shoulder armor) however Reva can be stubborn and at times impatient.

Wily RP (Bios)


Superdee - Known as the "armored bandit"; rather than stealing money, he amassed weapons from opponents he defeated and sometimes stole rare artifacts. Somewhere on RPM, he has a "trophy room" containing all the weapons he's amassed over the years.

Archetype - Superdee "reborn". His life with Luna has changed him, and during their time together, he changed his name to Archetype; a symbol of starting over a new leaf. He strives to become a hero.

Phi - Luna's younger sister. After Luna's death, Phi became heavily distraught and adopted a deadpan, silent demeanor. Phi was never too trusting of Archetype when he started living with the two of them, though that changed after she met him again after 5 long years.

Because the Nonary Organization has chased down Luna and Phi for their Morphogenetic ability, they were constantly in hiding. Phi learned to use the environment to her advantage and is excellent at being stealthy, thanks to her slender frame and years of being on the run.

Phi is very secretive and has traveled to many alternate realities with Akane, the woman who took her in after Luna's death. They call their crusade of interdimensional travel, "Operation Janus".

Luna - Phi's older sister. Years ago, she fell in love with Superdee, sometime after her and Phi escaped from the Nonary Organization's underground base. She had a reputation of turning heads, due to her radiant beauty.

During his time with Luna, Superdee changed his name to Archetype, to signify a clean slate. However, he didn't quite know what would be illustrated upon that metaphorical slate. Luna admitted that she wanted to start living a normal life with her sister. They no longer had to hide and run away. Perhaps all three of them could start over.

5 years from present time, Luna passed away from a violent fire, followed by an explosion, that broke out in their home. Arche tried to save both Luna and Phi, but could only manage to rescue Phi from the raging flames. Luna's death served as the foundation for Arche to, essentially, start his path as a hero.

AOHA Bios

Professor Hemlock- Stuffy, academia-minded, and arrogant, Hemlock transferred to the Littleroot Lab after working in a university.  He doesn't particularly care for field studies, and he thinks Birch is a slob, and their Hypno assistant is worthless.

Professor Mulberry- Another university transfer, Mulberry is younger and generally looks after any Pokemon lab assistants.  He's more laid-back, and his opinion of Birch tends to be swayed by Hemlock. 

Professor Hypno- Hypno has spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy due to a premature birth.  He's paralyzed on his left side, and was sold to the Littleroot Lab by his breeder, and he works as an assistant.  Quiet and frustrated over his own weakness, he likes to tinker and build gadgets to aid him.

WilyRP (Bio)

Heinrich von Ryker - A 52 year-old surgeon who seems to have founded the Nonary Organization. Despite his appearance as a normal man with formal taste, he has an incredibly sick and twisted mind. Heinrich appears to suffer from multiple personality disorder and uses psychological manipulation to ensnare anyone he feels will be useful to his goals.

He is one of the very few people who possesses Morphogenetic abilities. To what extent of his Morphogenetic abilities he can use is currently unknown.

Post by: Blue Valkyrie on November 14, 2014, 06:11:19 AM
WilyRP (Bios) ((Little long winded but good for people to check quickly, I'll update as we continue.))

Blue - An android created by the precursors a race that ruled the galaxy millions of years ago. Blue was sealed away within a ruin on the former precursor world of Azure Star before being accidentally released by a curious native. Blue has protected Azure Star from the space Pirate Captain White Beard, prevented the super android Shadow Star from killing all organic life on the planet and protected the Omni-Gem ( a crystal of unlimited elemental energy) for years. Currently she is working with the resistance to defeat Wily and White Beard and reclaim the Gem.

Not much is known of Blue's background however the guardian robots of the precursor ruins respond violently to her with one claiming her purpose might be darker than most would believe. While Blue's basic form does not use any elemental attacks her element is confirmed to be Darkness.

Blue has a curious and positive nature, she is also known to enjoy a good battle. As an android she possess super human strength,durability, and agility easily able to life several hundred tons on her own. In addition to her natural abilities she can also absorb various elements to transform into different forms changing her appearance and granting her new powers. Blue cannot rapidly go form to form without risking damage and she is currently unable to absorb Light elemental energy or use Dark elemental powers (despite it being her core element)

Normal Form
- Blue's basic form, while she possess no known special powers she is super humanly strong, her durability easily allows her to withstand physical and ranged damaged and her agility allows her to run and jump great distances.

Fire Form
- Blue's gains a red genie like outfit and power to shoot various fire based attacks like the chargeable Flare Ball or the Flare Dash. While her physical abilities are not enhanced she gains a near endless amounts of energy to project. Fire form is weak to water and ice based attacks.

Earth Form - Blue gains a suit of armor that enhances her strength and endurance to overpowered levels at the cost of her mobility and ranged abilities. This form can also generate earth based projectiles assuming there is natural earth in range. This form is also immune to spikes but is easily damaged by fire and heat based attacks.

Wind Form - Blue gains a ninja like outfit, her mobility is increased to overpowered levels at the cost of her defense. She can generate small cutting tornadoes or charge them up for a short range typhoon attack. She can also counter (assuming she times it right) nearly any attack vanishing briefly before she appears tossing a damaging throwing star at the target. Wind form can also double jump but is weak to Earth attacks.

Water Form - This form at first doesn't appear to change blue at all however when she enters a body of water she transforms into a mermaid like form granting her more mobility in aquatic locations. She can fire ice like arrows that freeze enemies solid. Water form is weak to electric and wind based attacks.

Omni-Form
- By merging the four elements with either Light or Darkness Blue ascends to a final and devastating form. Her hair grows in length but otherwise Blue remains the same minus a blue aura. Blue's abilities skyrocket into near immeasurable levels and she gains access to several new Omni-Powers such as the Omni-Shot, the Omni-Sheld and the Omni-Dash. As Omni-energy is a merging of Fire/Water/Wind/Earth/Light/Dark is effective against anything with an elemental weakness yet will ignore any immunities to them. Blue can fly freely and reach FTL speeds but cannot maintain the form forever nor access it unless she can draw light or dark elemental energy from the Omni-Gem directly.



Captain White Beard
An android space pirate from parts unknown, he leads his crew aboard his ship the Dark Star and has an army of Buccaneer robots and powerful androids known as his Five Star Generals on top of his ships and mechs. Captain White beard is brilliant but has a deep ego and often under estimates those he considers less intelligent than he is. His greed and desire to make the best robots and amass a fortune often makes him easily to manipulate. White Beard has a rivalry with fellow inventor Wily but secretly respects him.

The Buccaneers - The crew of the Dark Star and White Beard's main troops. While they come in many types most are quite easily dispatched due to their weak abilities, despite this they are loyal if not a little cowardly. They are most often seen equipped with Busters/Beam Cutlass/Flame Throwers/Bombs. But can also pilot the mecha and machines built by their captain when required. Otherwise the buccaneers are competent works and maintain their ships well.

Shadow Star - The last and strongest of White Beard's "Five Star Generals", equipped with the prototype dark chip Shadow Star possess the power to manipulate dark elemental powers such as dark matter and crushing gravity attacks. His overall performance is on par with Blue's Normal form and he posses the ability to fly and teleport.

Shadow Star is arrogant and despises all organic life. He not long after White Beard's second attack on Azure Star betrayed his creator and reprogrammed the rebuilt Star Generals and the Guard series robots on top of taking control of the Dark Star 2 in an attempt to claim the Omni-gem and azure star as his own but was ultimately defeated by Blue and Tempest Star. In a desperate bid to salvage his plan he directly absorbed dark elemental energy from the Omni-Gem and transformed into "Abyss Shadow Star" but was despite his new powers and body no match for Blue's Omni-Form. During White Beard's alliance with Wily the two worked together to rebuild and enhance Shadow Star while locking his personality to prevent future betrayals. His first mission is to lead the capture of Blue for White Beard and Wily.

Super Shadow Star's new larger body possesses the power of Terra Star, the agility of Tempest Star, the energy projection powers of Flare Star and the regenerative abilities of Aqua Star on top of his enhanced dark powers based from data on his abyss form. Super Shadow Star is stronger than each of Blue's basic forms and perhaps can go toe to toe with her Omni-Form.

Flare Star - The second of the Star Generals built by White Beard, she is based off his failed Blue copy bot design and has been heavily modified and enhanced with the prototype fire chip allowing her to generate and control fire based attacks, her Flare Dash being her signature ability. She battled Blue during White Beard's second attack but was destroyed in their first encounter due to underestimating her foe. She was later rebuilt and offered a chance by Shadow Star to fight her rival again in exchange her loyalty to his mutiny, she retreated after suffered a second defeat due to Blue's Water Form.

Flare Star attacked Blue and resistance during the pirate's alliance with Wily but was overwhelmed by the heroes before she could finish Blue off. Flare Star feels a great sense of inferiority when compared to Blue leading to her desire to destroy Blue in an effort to validate her own existence. Over time her hatred has turned into a begrudging respect.

Aqua Star - The fourth of the Star Generals and fitted with the prototype water chip allowing him to manipulate water but also his liquid metal body. Aqua Star was first encountered by Blue during White Beard's second attack on Azure Star but was destroyed in the encounter. Later he was rebuilt and reprogrammed by Shadow Star during his mutiny, but thanks to his crush on Blue was able to overcome his new programing and join forces to defeat the traitor. He traveled to RMPM with White Beard to join forces with Wily but instead defected to be with his crush.

Aqua Star's liquid metal body can transform into all sorts of shapes as well as rapidly regenerate, it's unknown what the limits of his body are but his happy go lucky attitude and his love of the fairer gender (mostly Blue) prevent him from being a truly effective warrior normally.

Tempest Star
- The third of the Star Generals, and equipped with the prototype wind chip allowing him to control and generate wind based attacks.  Tempest Star is also known as White Beard's second in command and his most trusted ally. Tempest Star was first encountered during the second attack on Azure Star but was badly damaged in his encounter with Blue. He evaded reprogramming but was to badly damaged to save White Beard from being kidnapped by Shadow Star forcing him to align with Blue to save both his creator and Azure Star.

In the after math of the battle he followed his creator to RMPM to help Wily take over the planet. He infiltrated Wily's station and planted a device allowing White Beard to sneak into Wily's computer network. Tempest Star is agile and possess a stealth optical camouflage.  He can generate cutting wind tornados or a powerful typhoon ontop of his ninjitsu training. He can counter most attacks and send large throwing stars at his foes.

Terra Star
- The First of the star generals and the least advanced. His large body grants him strength beyond even Blue's and his diamond drill can pierce nearly any armor as well as be used as a projectile. Terra Star first appeared during the second attack on Azure Star but was destroyed in his first encounter before being rebuilt and reprogrammed during Shadow Star's mutiny. Blue managed to fend him off long enough for Terra Star to break free and regain his free will. He traveled with his creator after to RMPM to join Wily and has been assigned to assist the doctor as his muscle.

Terra Star is nearly twice as strong as normal form Blue and about as strong as her earth form. His large body is highly durable but slow, although his diamond drill helps grant him some limited range. Tempest Star talks slowly and seems like the typical slow witted bruiser but in truth is highly intelligent as well as calculating using his slow speech as a means to lure his foes into devious traps. Likewise Terra Star is well known for using traps to defeat his foes lacking any real honor of his own.

Changes to Illana's team:  Elekid is in the PC, and Scizor took his place.

I have no intention of expounding upon Scizor's history, aside from vague notions.  The trainer who traded him wasn't the abuser.  Scizor's changed hands a few times.  As for what kind of abuse he suffered, I'm leaving that vague.

The crib he talks about?  Leaving that vague, too.

Sapph's character, Goh, heard about Team Fauna and decided to look into it with two neutral Trainers—Illana and Gai—in tow.  After a Team Fauna agent saw Illana's abused Scizor, the three were recruited and sent to a rally where a TF higher-up was speaking.

Goh is in disguise.  Illana's Scizor freaked out in the crowd, and the TF agent Fenice has now confronted them about that Scizor.

Okay, so I just saw this thread, and Blue's request for people in the RPM Adventure to put references for our characters' motivations so that she can flick back for reference.

Kellan Worthington
A former magic knight from a distant land who stepped down from his duties to seek the Almighty spells and figure out a way to enchant them to weapons, mainly because he had seen a much older version of himself training young knights to do just that. When he entered the fog in search of these spells, he somehow wound up captured and locked up in the tower with his flintlocks taken away.

Whether or not he finds the spells in the fog or leaves the fog and finds the spell elsewhere, I do not know.

Little information on the two now baddies in the manaverse RP.

Both Mask and Doll Master are siblings, and known mages. Their backgrounds are largely a mystery and they certainly are in no rush to share their back stories to anyone. It's hard to tell who is the crueler of the two and both should be considered high level threats to the heroes in the story.

Boss Theme: 13th Reflection (Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix)

Mask Master
--------------
Known for wearing a tattered robe and hood, his ivory mask covers his whole face minus the two small eye slits. It's only defining feature are two red tear like marks down the side of cheeks. Mask Master wields a rather old looking staff.

He's normally quite pleasant and collected but this is a mask for his true nature, a psycho path to the core he revels in the suffering of his enemies and allies alike and enjoys the thought of stealing the very core of what they are. He enjoys worming his way into the hearts of others to learn their darkest secrets to use against them.

Power - Masquerade Magic (Maskermancy? XD)
------------------------------------------------------
Mask Master can generate new masks based on his enemies or allies mimicking their abilities while weakening the one being copied in the process. When the magic is used to it's fullest extent it can even allow the mage to copy the appearance and mannerisms. He can't use more than one mask at a time however and he's vulnerable anytime he swaps out move sets.

((Note: if your copied he can't mimic everything about you, special one of a kind powers can't be copied. That is up to the player in question obviously))


Doll Master
-------------
Has long blonde hair and pointed ears hinting at elven decent, sister to Mask Master. She wears a mask like his although it only covers the upper portion of her face leaving her mouth and head uncovered. She wears a noble looking dress made from magic fabric and wields no obvious catalyst.

Despite her beauty she is anything but noble, often short tempered and has little patience for anyone other than her brother whom she seems to respect greatly. She revels in the suffering of other people and openly attempts to hurt her enemies physically and mentally as if she draws on that emotion for power. She however cannot stand to feel pain herself and goes berserk if attacked back.

Power - Doll Magic
---------------------
Doll Master has skill to create various puppets and dolls that she can imbue with magic and weaponry, using her own unique magic string she can manipulate them to do her bidding at nearly any range even if she can't see her puppets as she can see through their eyes directly.

This power also extends to living people, should you get tied up in her strings she can manipulate a person controlling their bodies and even minds if given the chance. This takes some effort and strong willed people can easily resist the effect. Doll Master takes great pleasure in controlling people and adding to her collection of "dolls".

For Mana-Verse Prof. Hypno, I'm going with a modified version of this initial design:

[spoiler](http://imageshack.com/a/img540/101/H1FhQj.png)[/spoiler]

The glove won't have that hose and he won't be carrying around that compressed air canister.  He'll have the monocle, though, and he'll have general alchemy supplies.  I'll get around to drawing up a Mana-Verse version, but that's the look I'm going for.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Blue Valkyrie on January 28, 2015, 04:46:49 AM
Gotta keep the monocle and be classy! Having a alchemist in the group would definitely be helpful, brewing potions and creating other inventions. Will the Prof have some understanding of magi-technology then from the sound of your description?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 28, 2015, 04:52:01 AM
Yeah, he'd be brewing arcane stuff.  Heck, that might've caused the lab explosion.  Magic potion was a skootch too powerful and he rolled a spectacular fail.

Okay, sketched up a Mana-Verse version and I went a bit too far toward the scholar angle and ended up with a cleric.

In the movie, the titular Van Helsing gets a friar sidekick named Carl who provides him with weapons and support.  The friar built grenades and bazookas.  Carl is the best character in the whole movie.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on January 28, 2015, 06:38:36 PM
Hmm I would be interested if you could make some more minor tweaks to the design to make him less Hypno like.  Like omiting the fur collar and making the robe more baggy to compensate, positioning the ears at the middle of the head instead of the top, putting in some liver spots and wrinkles to give him a slightly more aged look, and giving him some tiny fangs.

You know more goblin like, and maybe change the skin tone, conceptually, to a more sickly green with brown undertones too.

I would be really interested to see what that would look like, as a suggestion.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 12:25:35 AM
I might draw one up for a DnD campaign later on.  The ruff can still be kept, as I've seen goblin depictions with it.  I'm also going to look up baku images and add bits of those to the design when I do work on rolling for a DnD character.

For now, I'm going to stick with and play test what I got.  I've never played a cleric; I'm usually an alchemist or a mage.

Though, while I was reading through the latest posts... The Jutsu stuff is confusing me.  I'm not a Naruto fan and only know a little bit about it.  As for DBZ stuff, I didn't get into it and watched enough to make a farce about it. 

I'm not real big on the lore.  Could someone explain those aspects to me, only as they pertain to the RP?  I don't need the history of the franchise, just those aspects as they pertain to the RP.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Blue Valkyrie on January 29, 2015, 12:30:54 AM
I admit I don't know much about Naruto either so I can't really comment. What DBZ elements do you mean though?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on January 29, 2015, 12:34:56 AM
The DBZ stuff was only for the concept of masking Power Levels only with Mana instead.  That's the only thing I meant.

Naruto Jutsus are like this.

You have Ninjutsu which are Ninja techniques and Ninja Magic, Taijutsu which is Martial Arts, and Genjutsu which are illusion techniques.  So far Toshi has mostly exhibited Ninjutsu techniques.

That's how I explain it but I only watched the first half of Naruto, but I think that's the gist of it.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 12:38:13 AM
Ah, okay, I assumed that with the DBZ stuff.  I wasn't sure, though.

Re: Jutsu:  Gotcha.  Okay, so if anyone uses Jutsu, I should think super sentai.  Actually, that helps a lot, considering the moves border on magic anyway.

And reeeeeeaaaaaally tempted to make the Prof shiny. >.>

I think I will. >.>
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on January 29, 2015, 12:48:33 AM
Not quite.....think generic ninja stuff.

Also a sub category of Ninjutsu is Summon Jutsu which summons Familiars like Toads, Snakes, Dogs, Slugs and a whole slew of other things.  Toshi used that to summon her anthropomorphic Persian.  Typically executed with spilling a the user's blood onto a scroll to summon them, but in order to do this you need to form a contract with the familiar.

That's why I was trying to suggest making the Prof not a Hypno because normal Pokemon can't do that.  I think it would be better if he was something else.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Blue Valkyrie on January 29, 2015, 12:49:17 AM
Aya is lucky, she's lacking any memories of these things; her control of mana is more a natural talent. (such as her morphing weapon) So if I'm really ignorant on certain elements introduced by other players I can use Aya as a way to learn about them.  8D

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 12:54:26 AM
The thing is, he doesn't do jutsu or anything like that.  He's a cleric (technically an alchemist, but he looks more like a cleric), and primarily a scholar.  If he uses anything, it's potions and weapons; things he can construct.

I'm going straight Pathfinder/DnD, here, and leaning heavily toward the characters that I've played before.  He's got stuff already prepared, and he has the knowledge for stuff he needs to prepare.  His carry is limited because he's small, so most of the stuff will need time to prepare.

I'm not planning to play a fighter.  I'm playing a scholarly meek little guy who just so happens to know how to make things go boom.  Most of the time, his nose is buried in lore.

As for the jutsu, I needed to know what they were so I could respond to them properly.  The Prof isn't using that stuff.  He's a potion-loving scroll-reading party-healing Squishy Wizard cleric.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on January 29, 2015, 12:59:58 AM
Yeah don't worry about the Jutsu stuff, Jutsus only really apply to Toshi because she is a Ninja.  Also good thing he can heal since Calien is not an optimal healer. 

He's much more combat oriented unlike Borock-bot in Wilypocalypse.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 01:03:10 AM
Once the party gets into a battle, the Prof will be hiding behind them anyway.  He'll have things on hand and he can brew stuff during the battle, but when the [parasitic bomb] hits the fan, he'd sooner go hide.

His monastery didn't teach kung fu.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 06:41:01 AM
Okay, I'm thinking of abilities.  The Prof's only real magic ability is oneiromancy.  It's rarely-used.  Otherwise, he's an alchemist.  On hand, he has explosive potions, combustible pastes, various acid, and a powder that creates lightning when he rubs it between his palms.  He has a few curatives and can do light wound healing. 

If given time to prep, he can make other things as needed, but that's what he has on hand.  Stuff that goes boom, stuff that goes fwoosh, stuff that goes sizzle, and stuff that goes zap.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on January 29, 2015, 06:43:32 AM
Oneiromancy?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 06:54:38 AM
Dream divination, basically.  It won't be used much.  Or really at all.  If a situation arises where they have to pull an Inception or otherwise use dreams to accomplish a task, or read dreams in order to determine a message, or spy on dreams for more information, he has it. 

I doubt such an scenario would arise, though, so don't worry about it.  It's just a specialized and useless power. 

Unless I want to go balls to the wall insane and say he can pull monsters and other constructs from dreams to fight things, but he needs to be in a meditative state to do so...
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on January 29, 2015, 06:59:10 AM
Oh yeah okay, yeah I don't see a situation that would need that but it makes sense since Bakus and all.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Phi on January 29, 2015, 07:12:38 AM
Funny you should mention Oneiromancy.

I have something a bit similar that I plan to do with... one of my characters. Not a Mana-verse character, though. And it's not dream reading, per se, but more of a manipulation.

It's freaking difficult to describe the ability in detail, even when drawing information from medical terminologies and sections of the brain, I want it to sound smart but not repetitive.

From this brief context, you may be able to guess who's capable of this ability.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on January 29, 2015, 07:16:56 AM

Ok, given that I'm finally doing some kabooms, time to elaborate on some stuff.

So, basically, the Masters that Albertus created are the exact duplicates of the original Robot Masters of the Megaman universe, namely the original Dr. Wily Numbers. My DW2 Numbers will NOT be included in the Mana-verse.

So if a Master is defeated, the heroes can gain the Master Weapon, but as a magical spell. The spell will then conjure up the respective weapon. The spells are classified under the elements in general, and only the specific elemental user can use the spell properly.

So in this case... Napalm Master's Napalm Bomb will be classified as Fire. Don't worry, I'll inform you the element when a Master is defeated.

Aya can in theory use every type of magic element (for plot reasons) but requires her being exposed to a pure source or through a master magic user.

Fire
Thunder
Blizzard
Cure

This (http://dnd4.wikia.com/wiki/Class) is the class system I was using to figure out the characters.  Of course, no one is exactly a certain class and will exhibit traits from other classes, and some of the classes I used aren't listed (such as Valkyrie, which are basically female Barbarians).

Here are some Pathfinder classes (http://pathfinder.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Classes), as well. 

The Prof I've classed as a Cleric, but he uses alchemy as opposed to Mana.  So, he's a Cleric Alchemist.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on February 06, 2015, 06:26:52 AM
I usually go with the Final Fantasy 5 or Bravely Default Job class systems for my characters.

http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Job_Class_System (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Job_Class_System)

The Prof I would consider the Chemist/Salve Maker.  Can mix lots of crap to heal or make things go boom without Magic and can at times be even more potent than Magic if you play your cards right.

Also don't ask me why Time Magee can create Earthquakes, Meteors I can understand but not Earthquakes.

Yeah, I'm more familiar with tabletop RPGs, hence why I went with those class systems.  But yeah, the Prof is definitely a Chemist/Salve Maker with a dash of Priest, or Cleric/Alchemist, depending on class system. 

Not sure if I'll get into his divination, as we have a ton of magic-users already.  If he does any, it'd just be support stuff, like barriers.  He's primarily an Alchemist with a bag full of healing stuff, and a ritual scholarly bend.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread

Yeah both Sakura and Calien are more physical fighters, Sakura can just imbue her blade with elemental properties and cast weaker versions of spells, which is something she would never do in battle.  The only reason I made Calien a White Mage/Medic was because we didn't have one until you joined. 

Though I do like how I gave him an interest in herbs and stuff, I find it interesting.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on February 06, 2015, 07:46:43 AM
Sakura definitely fits the Swordmage class.  Swordmages are Fighters who use magic to aid them in battle.  They're more physical than a standard Mage and can use light and heavy blades.  These characters would be better suited for placement toward the front of the party, as they have better constitution than your standard Squishy Wizard.

The weapon enchantment would also make Sakura an artificer.

I was going more for a Battlemage of sorts with Fxeni in the Mana-verse, to have some variety from the usual physical-only (and mostly rogue-ish) stuff I tend to do. He can fight physically, yeah, but it's not like he has any armour or anything.

I can always craft him more into a Dragoon via plot devices:
- Making magitech armour that needs mana to run a barrier or something, negating the higher level spells he can do normally
- Using the use of wind magic that he was using near the end of the most recent battle post (ie. using the wind to boost his jumps so he can get in their face and/or attack from above).

The magitech armour thing would work with his general craftiness with making magitech as well.

I dunno, just throwing out options here. I'm flexible.

Post by: Sakura Leic on February 12, 2015, 08:03:04 PM
It could be Quickie's art style because that's certainly not Farah either since she has Odango hair, I figured that the way she wears her bandana to hide her ears is that she wraps it like a headband on her forehead and then wraps it in such a way that it hides her ears.

[spoiler]You know since she's actually Farore, the priestess not the god.  Farah is just a simpler name she adopted to prevent people from asking questions about why her name is so strange.  She chose Farah because it sounds more feminine than Farore but Farore is actually her real name.  Her hair buns are also much smaller than the Oracle games version since I hate the size and her bangs are also in a Hime cut rather than the few strands that are Oracle Farore's bangs.[/spoiler]

If it is Sakura there are some details she got wrong but it's more my fault since I've only described these details a few times, like the length of her hair and the fact that she wears a fur cap to hide her ears unlike Calien's bandana.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread

Ah, so both Sakura and Pema wear hats. Though Sakura's hat is probably less obscure.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on February 12, 2015, 08:21:53 PM
Yeah Sakura's is made out of a dead animal, most likely a Racoon.  Calien is a stickler of using every part of the animal he kills for food as much as possible as a sign of respect since the animal already has to die so that he and Sakura may live.  It would be a waste to kill just for the meat.  Sakura takes this very seriously as well.

You should give more details. Describe her height, the clothes she wears both in terms of style and color, hair color, eye color. Details always help. Right Quickie? XD
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on February 12, 2015, 11:43:37 PM
She's about 5 feet tall, prefers clothes that are easy to move in that aren't too tight and constricting or too loose and baggy, like a tunic.  Mostly favors greens or reds but of course not at the same time.  I've also described her wearing deer skin leggings and leather boots.

Her hair is brown and her eyes are usually Green but will turn Red which allows her to see things that people can't normally see such as Illusions and Lingering Spirits.  This also happens in battle since it helps her senses.  Calien and Sakura refer to this as seeing the Truth.

Speaking of which PB when Riagan mentioned the avalanche costed them countless hours and manpower did he mean some Dwarves died?

I know, I'm sorry.  To be honest I didn't think you would go full on Davy Crocket with the Tunic, though really not surprising, but I still want her to look more feminine and I think the short sleeves would help. 

Not to mention I have to keep her fighting style in mind and I think the tassels would not be really beneficial for that.  She is a sword fighter after all.

Kind of more Elven fashion I think.

Prof's race is a goblin.  He was a changeling who was substituted for a human infant by his fae folk parents.  His human parents realized this and abandoned him in the forest, where he was found and taken in by his master.

Fae folk keep themselves hidden from humans, so they're pretty rare.  The Order suspected he was a fae changeling, but never told him, and most townsfolk had never seen a goblin (or any fae).  So, he never found out what he was.

Anyone with knowledge of fae folk would be able to tell what he is, though.

Post by: Dr. Wily II on February 17, 2015, 04:47:13 PM
So going through some changes for Albertus.

He is no longer an old man, but a man aged around in his late 30s, who has clearly been overworking way too much, resulting in his "old age". His backstory has also been tweaked; The rumour that I made in my first Albertus post is indeed still a rumour (the part where he was raised by Dwarves). The truth will be revealed when the heroes finally confront Albertus in Skull Cove Citadel.

Master Spells will only correspond to the main elements that are stored within the Omni-Gem, so only Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness. Lightning-based Spells will be classified as Wind. Spells that use metal weapons, like Shadow Blade, will be Earth. Ice-based Spells will be Water. Time stopping or slowing will be Light. Explosive Spells will be Fire. The only Spell I can think of at the moment that will be Darkness is Magic Card (Magic, dark arts... Blargh...). This is of course just a very general classification. When the time comes to reveal a Spell, I will list the corresponding element. So do not worry about it.

Hair Style/Colour: Light blue, lower neck length and slightly spiky.
Eye Colour: Light blue, lightly glows.
Build: Slender but athletic.
Outfit: Her outfit resembles that of a genie's, with the classic pants (blue but slightly transparent, and blue top with gold trimming.)
Power: Can summon a magic curved sword, can cast various spells through magic rings acquired in her adventures.[/spoiler]

We'll make the tunic and leather kilt something Calien made when we get out of Skull Cove to get rid of the Aile clothes and say the genie outfit was destroyed.  Because after seeing what Albertus was doing Calien wants to do Aya a favor.

I also need to think about what new clothes to give Sakura, I almost want to go frenchy and give her some kind of poncho cape too.  She'll also still have a hat similar to the Davy Crocket hat but not furry and doesn't have a tail.

I'm thinking some armored leggings and some really poofy knee length shorts.  Other than the poncho cape I don't know what to do for her upper body.

The wings are a retcon thing, assume they were always present. She can glide with them, or get some height; imagine a high-jump power/Glide from Kingdom Hearts or something.

He's fine in his robes.  Unless they get really messed up, he'll just mend them.  Calien can hem the robe a bit shorter so he doesn't step on it, but I don't have plans to put him in new clothes.

The wings are a retcon thing, assume they were always present. She can glide with them, or get some height; imagine a high-jump power/Glide from Kingdom Hearts or something.

What ever you do, keep them out of sight from Aya. She never wants to see the fetish outfit again.  O^O
Yeah that's what I figured with the wings, we'll pretend they always existed.

But seriously what is that neck thing?

He's fine in his robes.  Unless they get really messed up, he'll just mend them.  Calien can hem the robe a bit shorter so he doesn't step on it, but I don't have plans to put him in new clothes.

And yeah, I figured the Aile clothes were the BDSM fetish gear of Arcadia.
Yeah that would be Calien's main concern regarding the robes but that should work.

And oh my god you're right, it could be.  I can't help but think Aile was a Precursor Prostitute of some sort now. -AC

Unfortunately I still don't know what Calien's current clothes look like, and I'm thinking of retconing his hair to Black.  Otherwise his hair is short but he should be bishonen as hell even though he's 36 in this RP.

The clothes are probably also strange since he only had fur and low quality leather to work with at the time, and there should be as little exposure as possible, especially on the chest area.  Maybe the bandana should be made of Rabbit fur?

Okay I think I found a good reference for Calien's hair.  Of course it should be black but I think this might be what I want, though it might be a good idea to make it slightly shorter too.  And of course he still has pointy ears like Sakura's and Red eyes.

From what I was looking at it seems the back is like a thong?  I honest have no idea, though Calien did say that Aya's genie outfit was more modest than Toshi's outfit so.......
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Quickman on March 02, 2015, 10:16:23 AM
A thong... with a rabbit tail.  And knowing the location of the coccyx, and how it would be shaped to be a vestigial tail enough to create the rabbit tail (unless it's a small growth of flesh with a ton of poofy hair), then the thong would be problematic.  It'd be problematic with a fleshy tail, too.

Thongs ride up the crack and at the top of the crack is the relative location of your coccyx.  You can feel a nodule there.  For a bipedal being with a tail, that nodule would be where the tail would attach to the body, so as not to impede bipedalism by getting in the way of the glutes that form your butt.

Thus, I have no idea how Toshi's thong would work, unless there was a hole cut out the back through which she threads her tail.

Whatever, I'm thinking about it too hard.  Here's a slight back view of Aya.

I think we decided on 4'2"-4'3", she's supposed to be really chibi, and I mean really chibi, probably be something of a midget.  I mean Sakura is 5 feet even and I consider that pretty short too and Calien is 5'9" because I wanted him to be slightly shorter than Riagan but still taller than the rest of the party.

Well Quickie is the one who drew it and I was wondering if there's a height difference between her Sakura and your Sakura so she can scale Pema appropriately.

Well, that's the thing about Silent Hill. Apparently, it doesn't focus on jump scares like many other horror games; instead, it erodes at the player psychologically through the build up of fear.

I don't know.  I just know the name is the same.  The Order originally was going to have a full name, like the Order of Hastur or something.  I just never got around to resolving that, so it stayed as the Order.  I was thinking more along the lines of Rise of the Triad toward the end, whereas in the beginning, I was going for just a generalized religious order.  I didn't know what I wanted from it.

Daemons are something from a series I've been working on off-and-on for a while. They are semi spiritual creatures that come in a multitude of shapes, sizes, and powers. They habitually make contracts with the humanoid races of my series to become their familiars. Some people have the ability to wield their familiars as weapons, which the daemons naturally can turn into.

So, here's what I've got so far.

Name: Shuu
Title: 88th Sapphire Knight
Age: mid-twenties
Gender: male
Equipment:
Amulet of Sharpened Hearts- A 3-inch medallion featuring a large, red crystal that allows the Sapphire Knights to magically convert allies into weapons which they can use in battle.
Daemon Tablets- Small stone tablets that allows Shuu to form contracts with and summon a variety of Daemons.
Sapphire Armor- A suit of blue-colored armor specially crafted for each SK. Shuu's version prominently features a slot in the chest plate where the Amulet of Sharpened Hearts sits, along with slots for his Daemon Tablets.
Other Abilities: Shuu is skilled in the use of various weapons, taught to him by Cassandra Irving, the spirit of the fallen 87th Sapphire Knight.

Looks good so far.  Another heavy-hitter will be helpful to further balance out the party, as PB is the only official Fighter of the group, aside from Aya, whom I've seen as a Valkyrie.  Most everyone else ranges from Paladins, to Mages, to Rangers, to Thieves and Clerics. 

The more people who can go out front and take as much as they can dish out, the better.

True, it's just I don't think he's refered to Riagan by name yet, though Aya is understandable since there's only so many ways you can mess up her name.

Also I still am thinking of making Calien have some Pirate skills from Bravely Default.  Basically the Pirate has the ability to Debuff with their Axe.

Well, that'd make for a good lesser daemon. A fire-elemental dog.

[spoiler=Daemon Exposition]Speaking of which, there are still a couple things about daemons I should probably mention. First of all, they come with 3-5 tiers: lesser daemons, mid daemons, greater daemons, daemon lords, and daemon gods.
Lesser daemons are, for the most part, either children or adults with their power compressed/sealed. Typically they're small and only have one element.
Mid daemons are more often than not just called daemons. Just a run-of-the-mill daemon with 1-2 elements under their control, which tends to lead to some interesting combinations (such as metal+light=mirror, or venom+fire=acid). All daemons eventually grow to this state from lesser daemons.
Greater daemons are the strongest state most daemons can reach, typically by absorbing power from other daemons. They usually have 2-3 elements under their their control.
Daemon lords are the rulers of territories. Technically, they're greater daemons, but a little stronger. The only way a daemon becomes a daemon lord is to have the power inherited from a territory's previous daemon lord, usually from said predecessor getting killed.
There are only 10 daemon gods, who are immortal daemons, each more powerful than the daemon lords and with a mastery over one of the elements. These only exist in the series I've been making the daemons for and probably won't be mentioned in the mana-verse.

Daemons also come in 12 species types, mostly based on the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, with some notable changes. Tiger is swapped for Cats in general, Rooster is swapped for Birds in general, Monkey includes Apes, Rat includes other Rodents, and Dragon extends to Alligators, Seahorses, and Turtles.[/spoiler]

Alright. I'll wait 'til I get the info on that from him. In the meantime, I've decided Sapph has 3 daemons at his start.
Mirror Unicorn: a metal and light-elemental horse daemon and the first daemon Sapph obtained, given to him by the one who taught him about daemons (the 86th Sapphire Knight, who had to retire due to injury and trained Cassandra to fight before studying daemons). Primarily used as transportation, a lance, or a shield.
Storm Tiger: A lightning and water-elemental cat daemon, and Sapph's main daemon. The first daemon Sapph himself tamed and formed a contract with. Used as a variety of swords.
Hellhound: A darkness and fire-elemental dog daemon who claims to literally be from Hell (but Sapph doubts this). Very stubborn and refuses to take any weapon forms other than a dagger or an obscenely large and heavy axe that Sapph can barely swing.

Post by: Blue Valkyrie on March 11, 2015, 04:37:56 AM
Recommend reading the first post for the basic lore of the world.

In short, the first civilization known as the Arcadians or Precursors by the modern races was destroyed long ago but ruins and a floating city known as Pandora remained. Hidden within it was the Omni-Gem a crystal that acts as a balancing source to the world of Arcadia.

Aya my character was a guardian chosen to protect it until Captain White Beard stole it and sent Aya falling to the world below. There she met the others over their travels to White Beard's fortress in Skull Cove. However he was being used by two Arcadians known as Doll and Mask Master who worked with Albertus (Wily's character) to break the seal on the Omni-Gem.

Doll Master was killed in the assault on the city but the heros were unable to stop the villians from breaking the seal and releasing Mar, the Arcadian who was responsible for destroying his people and empire when he attempted to enter the heart of Arcadia known as the Heart of Choas and become a god, Mar was defeated by Aya in the distance past and the gods sealed him away in the Gem. The group were forced to retreat in the wake of the battle as Mask Master had extracted the goddess Reva from Aya and she was no match for Mar in her basic state.

In short the Omni-Gem was shattered into five fragments that went flying to different corners of the world, chaos rifts are opening because of that and corrupting any life it comes into contact with and Mar is still plotting to reach the Heart of Chaos to finish becoming a god.

As of now--

White Beard is likely dead, sent flying off the tower by Mar

Doll Master was killed by Riagan (PB's character)

Mask Master is still at large working as Mar's right hand.

Albertus is still at Large working for Mar but plotting his own plots.

Mar the big baddie of the whole story. A demi god like being who in the distant past gave up his mortal body and possessed the Guardian known as Rei (Aya's brother) to become mortal and survive in the Heart of Chaos.

Post by: Blue Valkyrie on March 11, 2015, 02:46:12 PM
Six Shards, my mistake. Chaos Rifts lead to the abyss that exists within and beyond Arcadia.

The gods took the chaos introduced order in the form of the elements and used it to build the world. However the chaos is in a natural state poisonous to all mortal creatures so chaos rifts are tears in the world that allow chaos to seep in. Anything caught in it would be horrifically twisted into a chaos monster. Even being near one for to long can start to poison and twist you, obviously the larger the rift is the worse the effect.

The gods and guardians like Aya are immune to the chaos' effects because they don't have mortal bodies. That is how Mar managed to get around the issue by stealing a Guardian's body and placing his own soul inside the same way the gods use the guardians to interact with the physical world. The more rifts that open at once the more unstable the world becomes, normally the Omni-Gem would prevent natural rifts from forming but people like Mar can use magic to force a rift open and now that the Gem is gone we are going to see natural rifts open across the world until we restore the Gem.

Yeah immortal as immune to the effects of time. Aya wasn't born she was created, like all the guardians were. Aya can be killed, in fact Mar very much wants to see her gone since as long as she lives the gods can use her to interact with the physical world and Mar isn't strong enough yet to fight a god infused guardian.

Problem is not all the gods are that interested in the physical world anymore, perhaps not happy with how mortals mucked things up. Or perhaps something else is keeping them busy right now? Who knows!  8D
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sapphire Knight on March 13, 2015, 04:02:32 AM
If that's the case, then Daemons should be okay around Chaos Rifts, as, for the most part, the only way they can die is if they're killed. Time only makes them bigger and stronger at a rate that is often overshadowed by their own pursuits of power or ignored by hibernation and/or lack of combat.

So I've been trying to narrow down a look for Fxeni in the in Manaverse, and I've come to the conclusion that I'd probably be wearing something along the lines of the Myrmidon class from Fire Emblem Awakening:
[spoiler](http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/e/e6/Myrmidon_male.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130119131140)[/spoiler]

More simple however, and with more western influences in the design rather than of eastern descent. The cloth being green instead of blue of course, along with a red scarf.

I think Johalva will be the base for Calien's current outfit and future armor, especially the lv 10 Axe Fighter outfit in the gallery for the current and of course the Warrior for Armor.  With a few alterations here and there of course.  However I need to decide on colors, I don't know if I want him in green and I don't think the Armor should be blue for him.

Hmm as I look on TVtropes about this game, which luckily includes the character art, I think I like Freya's outfit. (http://valkyrieprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Freya_%28Character%29) 

I think I might use that for a base for Sakura's new outfit, with other stuff added mind you like a cape (which coincidentally Jelanda (http://valkyrieprofile.wikia.com/wiki/Jelanda) has a example of minus the fur), leggings, sleeves under the detachable ones, fingerless gloves under the detachable sleeves and some sort of pants, plus making the boots and sleeves armored and her chest area as well. I also want to make the boots flat rather than heeled.

Though I'm not sure if I want a different hat, I had a bit of a different hat in mind, like a non furry version of the Davy Crocket Hat without the tail of course, but I really like Freya's hat too and I think it would work for Sakura too.

[spoiler]It would be a perfect place to put the Sheikah eye symbol on, as well as the cape.[/spoiler]

Kingdom Hearts, in general, has some of the best damn music of any game I've played. Yoko Shimomura is God.

Also, perhaps something upbeat and slightly whimsical for Mask Master. Fits with his ability to control Dolls.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on March 21, 2015, 04:13:07 PM
Mask Man's power is the ability to copy people's forms and powers with masks, he can only control dolls when he copies Doll Master.  Just think of him as Evil Megaman.  Doll Master was the one who can control dolls exclusively, and then we killed her.

Also going to look up some other non Kingdom Hearts tracks, I like Kingdom Hearts music quite a bit but I prefer other things for boss music.  I don't know why but I just don't really care too much for the boss music, maybe it's because of the instruments?  I mean I like everything else, from the over world and random encounter battle music, but boss music is a hit or miss to me.  The boss music just mehs me and I don't know why exactly. 

Maybe a remix of the Magus boss fight in Chrono Trigger would be good for Mask Master.

EDIT:  Oh and what do you know found it on the first try.

This seems more like Albertus' theme. Sinister, creepy and foreboding.

As for Mar, I think I nailed it on the head with Dark Impetus. It just encompasses 'final boss badass', not to mention the dire atmosphere of the track.

... While we're at it, we should look for themes for our characters.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on March 21, 2015, 06:38:28 PM
Yeah it could be, I don't know I just like to get some variety.  Not to mention the Magus boss battle is like one of my favorite fights in Chrono Trigger.  Lots of fights in Chrono Trigger were great, especially Zeal, because I hate that [sonic slicer] and want her to know how much I hate her. Always go for Dino Tail and Frog Squash when she uses Halation before healing with something that heals everyone, because that's what you get when you reduce everyone's HP to one.

And yeah maybe we should, though I'll probably have a hard time deciding.  Especially Calien, I'll be honest the dude evolved as a character to me faster than I thought.

Yeah I honestly don't count the years spent in hibernation, Aang in Avatar will always be 12 to me.  He's just in a different time period, I more count waking life and probably mental age for Aya's case.

Never decided on a real age for Aya honestly, she was created not born either way so I guess it doesn't matter much. XD

Eh I kind of have a good idea of how old my robots are and how mentally old they are.  Though Zeta is a bit more all over the place she's 4 years old but is mentally somewhere between 12-24 depending on her mood and mental state.   Or curious about something like a kid would be.  Borock-bot is 2 years old but is probably in the mental range of 20. 

Asch is likeless than  2 weeks old and who knows where the hell his maturity is because he still doesn't even know how most of the world works.  A Mamoswine is still a giant fuzzball to him.  Yet he's one of the few people who has a relationship of sorts, though Prime Sakura doesn't know how a relationship works since she's never been in one so they're together but it's going to take a while to mature because they're not 'in love' yet.

It makes it so the robots are just as relatable as humans are in terms of personality.

Aya

Mentally - 20-24
Physically (Not counting time in hibernation) - less then ten years, she was prior to [parasitic bomb] hitting the fan just becoming a guardian; guardians are created to fill that roll you can't just become one.

I also named her Pema in the game, when I bought it years ago.

Runemasters are one of the most useful classes in EOIV. Devastating magic, which Pema will develop later in this RP (though, even by Runemaster standards, she has enormous potential).

It's up to Fxeni to help get her to that level!

I see.

It's a little... complicated. More of that ability will be explained in her backstory.

For now, it seems that she can only absorb mana through touch. A manifestation of sensory ability.

NOOOOOOOOO Cuddles got caught in a cave-in and was wounded! D:

He's okay, though.  He's taking a break, and then it's back to work.

Anywho, Peam doesn't have to really have any plan input.  But, I figured Calien and Sakura would have at least some.  At some point, the party needs to travel to the North.  It's going to get cold.  The best thing to do now would be coordinate with Riagan and the King for supplies.  Discuss plans for departure, get supplies, don't worry about making costumes; just get furs and thick blankets and robes for the time being.

The party will need food for travel, dry goods for clothing and salve-making, tools, extra weaponry for those who don't have any, medical supplies to treat the wounded (Prof will still be injured by the time they get there), water, and maps with routes and passages in case they need to travel on foot for whatever reason.

This is going to be quite a journey into a different climate.

Welcome to Dwarf Fortress, where everything goes straight to hell in the worst possible way.

Cuddles had a good run.  He, Adam, and Aya were good friends.  Out of that group, only Aya survived, but stepped down from militia commander after all hell broke loose.  Fxeni took over duties, then.  Lavinnia became a candidate for militia captain after killing dwarves with a pickaxe(!), but never actually joined the militia.

What be the fate of Dwarf Sapph?

Also, currently trying to think of an explanation for why the previous Sapphire Knights don't know where the blue metal came from. Only thing I can think of at the moment is that the first Sapphire Knight collected and stored a LOT of it for future Knights to make their armor with, but forgot to write down where he/she found it, aside from somewhere near Gimrak.

I would!

Also, think it'd be possible for a daemon that's old enough to bear a grudge against the old empire? I had the thought late last night that when Hellhound is finally (and properly) introduced, he'd be particularly hostile towards Aya due to her status as a guardian.

Could always add in part where Aya or her brother confront one, leading to said hatred.

Would it need to be "Hellhound?"

And yes would begin from Aya and Rei's introduction into the Guardians, the forming of the first chaos rifts and follow Aya and her friends from that era as they travel to close them. Meanwhile Rei would follow his own path be corrupted by Mar and the story would end in the destruction of the empire, Rei being possessed and Aya's fated battle.

Won't be a happy ending but..   8D

If you're thinking to put it in your game, no. For the rp, it would be, otherwise I'd have to retcon Grani or Susanoo to react to to Aya's presence.

That said, Hellhound is the only one of Sapph's daemons that has any sort of backstory floating around my head.

In other news, my brain had an idea for why daemons are in Arcadia. Looking at the backstory of the world, it says that the Queen drew in the sols of adventurous people, I'm assuming from at least one other world, maybe more.

From head to back: Bridle, reins, Western saddle (note prominent saddle horn) with stirrups, blanket.

To mount, you put your right hand on the rear of the saddle and left on the horn.  Put your left foot in the stirrup and push off with your right.  You swing your right leg over the rear of the saddle as you stand up in the left stirrup.

Well, for one, like I said, it was a random, late-night thought. Another thing, you don't have to multiclass to wield daemon weapons. You just need a soul (which I suppose kinda excludes Aya from being able to wield daemon weapons).

To be honest yeah you are.  The Dwarf Fortress was really evident during the Horse Shoe arguement.

I'm personally playing it like a Final Fantasy/Tales of Series RP.  Especially the Tales of Series.

I also need to fine tune Calien's move set, though I honestly haven't gotten too much of a chance to use him properly in a fight mostly.  So far I have in mind Bravely Default Pirate debuffing moves, Fire or Wind Tornado Spin Attack/Hurricane Blade, his Sky Drop technique, a Axe Slam Earthquake attack, and when he learns how to use Electricity he'll get Sword Beams and a Lightning Rod attack.

His Boomerang will mostly be used when he needs Long range but with Wind Spells he can turn it into the Gale Boomerang.

So far he knows Fire and Earth enchantment spells and will learn Wind enchantment on the way to Heimdall.  Electricity will come later.

Sakura however is mostly set since I'm mostly using Zero as a template with a few Tales moves here or there.  Mostly things from Llyod and Katos/Zelos for Tales of moves.  However I wonder if I can use more variety with the Kunais.

However I would like to incorporate more Chrono Trigger Duel techs if possible.

I only know of Dwarves from Dwarf Fortress, so of course I'll be using that for the Dwarves. :P

Though, the cold iron thing isn't a major thing in DF.  It's a mythological thing and I borrowed some aspects from Maleficent.  The horseshoe use is found in folklore.  On older buildings, you'll often find horseshoes nailed up, particularly in areas with certain ethnic European populations.  Back in the day, the horseshoe was used to keep away witches, Fae Folk, and other evils.

The aspects of DF I've used were the sieges (Boatmurdered dealt with sieges), Dwarven jobs and hierarchy, general city layout, and a few names.

If I really wanted to borrow from DF, the whole place would fall to chaos and ruin and the party would be forced to flee while bodies piled up and the walls were smeared with blood and vomit. :P

Oh and Calien's also a subpar White Mage who most likely won't be able to use his Healing during battle due to his fighting style.  Since we don't really have a proper White Mage, I mean we have a Cleric but he's more of a Chemist that makes things go boom and has Kung Fu moves.  And a Halberd.

Like I said before Borock-Bot in Wilypocalypse is a much more superior White Mage compared to Calien.  Also I'll get back to Wilypocalypse next week I think, school was getting crazy.

The base reason was that she was orginally concieved wielding a Beam Saber like Sakura, and I realized for Wilypocalypse, around the time PB went insane I had to change it because she would be too similar to Sakura.  Then boom, the Spear/Hammer abomination thing was concieved in almost an instant.
 
For the longest time it didn't even have a name, I only recently settled on calling it the Dual Gale a few months ago.

Despite this I don't regret creating this Impossibly Cool Monstrocity that makes no sense because quite frankly it's too awesome.

Would the weapon's hammer form have a long handle like a giant mallet, or a shorter handle?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on April 11, 2015, 12:39:18 AM
Long handle of course, it's a 2 handed weapon in both forms.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sapphire Knight on April 11, 2015, 12:43:22 AM
Hmm... Well... Maybe it generates a kinetic energy-releasing barrier around the end to be the head of the hammer?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on April 11, 2015, 12:51:12 AM
The thing is it's not a Beam Weapon, like say Fxeni's Yamalok, it's 100% mechanical.  Like the crazy [parasitic bomb] you see in RWBY, or the New Type God Arcs in God Eater except without the Guns.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sapphire Knight on April 11, 2015, 01:02:23 AM
Hmm... Maybe part of the handle and the spearhead fold up into the hammer head? It'll be a bit shorter, but still long enough to be 2-handed. OOH! And maybe made of a metal that can absorb and release kinetic energy (vibranium does that, right? o3o ).
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on April 11, 2015, 01:06:03 AM
Eh that might be the best bet in terms of how the Spear turns into a Hammer.  But the Hammer doesn't really do that kinetic energy thing it's more like how Amy Rose uses her Hammer in Sonic Adventure 1.  Not to mention it's Wind Elemental for the most part, Zeta is able to Channel Wind in her attacks, like an Air Bender, but her Duel Gale is mainly just a tool to execute them.  Much like how Borock-bot uses his Ping Pong Paddles to channel his spells.

I know how the Hammer is used, but I didn't know how the Hammer is formed.

I ran possibly giving Prof some magic by Ringman and he said he'd avoid doing that to keep him from becoming a Mary Sue.  He's got alchemy and martial arts, he's good. 

If i do give him magic, it wouldn't be very powerful and only to augment his alchemy anyway.

I think Johalva will be the base for Calien's current outfit and future armor, especially the lv 10 Axe Fighter outfit in the gallery for the current and of course the Warrior for Armor.  With a few alterations here and there of course.  However I need to decide on colors, I don't know if I want him in green and I don't think the Armor should be blue for him.

http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Johalva (http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Johalva)
That should be for his current outfit and armor with some alterations for the armor like making the shoulder part not as riculously huge and probably adding more armor here or there, especially around the you know what area.

As for his hair I actually found a link with 3 interesting samples between the guy on the top left, the guy in the 3rd row on the right and the one on the bottom with green hair

http://littlejyari.blogspot.com/2008/09/anime-guys.html (http://littlejyari.blogspot.com/2008/09/anime-guys.html)

Now as for the other stuff Calien has Red Eyes and pointy ears, he should be a little buff but definitely not Riagan buff, slightly shorter than Riagan and his hair should be jet black or a really, really, dark purple that still looks black anyway not that it really matters since it's probably not going to be colored anyway.  He's about 36 but might look a little younger than that, maybe.

As for his axe I still haven't decided if it should be double bladed or not and if it is double bladed if it should be one of those weird looking double bladed ones.

Is there anything else?

EDIT:  Oh I forgot Calien is probably going to wear a Turban from now on too.

Post by: Phi on June 18, 2015, 03:15:42 AM
Before this thread became a General RP Discussion, it was a proper Supplement RP Thread. Backstories, origins, side-plots and other things of that nature was to be posted here.

I decided to follow up on that. I created prequel stories to both Mana-Verse and WilyRP. These will serve to flesh out my characters.

Pema's prequel story:
The Curious Tales of Pema

Phi's prequel story:
Wilypocalypse Gaiden: Episode Phi

I may or may not create multiple entries to these stories. It's in the experimental phase. First is Pema's. I haven't worked on Phi's yet, but I have an idea.



The Curious Tales of Pema

- Prologue -

Tiny little feet ran through a large beautiful courtyard. Skipping across the stones in the clear river stream flowing through the center of the yard, the girl carried a wooden basket filled with various fruit, bread and meat.

She arrived to an arch near the entrance of the courtyard and jogged up the petal-decorated steps, leading into a wide field. Giggling, she somersaulted across the grass and softly landed on her back. The warm sun rays illuminated her face as she ran her fingers through the grass and flowers, which were damp from the rainfall the day before.

After a few moments of relaxing under the bright sun, she reached across the field for her staff and pushed it through the basket's handle. Using the tip of the staff, she pulled the basket to her and opened the lid. She fished around inside and produced a readily-prepared roast beef sandwich.

Taking a frighteningly huge bite of her tasty creation, the little girl gazes at the horizon beyond. The ocean below was somewhat melancholic and the ceremonial statues situated around the island was ominous and breathtaking.

Stretching her arms out in the cool air, she placed a free hand inside her pocket, eventually pulling out a small purple book and flipped to the first page.

She cleared her throat and looked ahead. "Hi, my name is Pema! Today, we'll be exploring some of the strange and amazing adventures that Salem and I have been on. I like to call this segment: A Day in The Life of a Runemaster! Or... no, maybe that one isn't right..."

"Uh, who in the world are you talking to?" Salem asked.

Pema laid flat on the grass. "Oh, that? Yeah, sometimes I like to pretend that there's an audience listening in and I can share my stories with them. This book shall tell my tale!"

"Okay... What type of stories?"

She placed the book on her lap, then looked at Salem. “Some of the neat adventures we've been on, of course! The unique and amazing people we met, the beautiful towns we visited, the spells I’ve learned and the SUPER delicious food from all over the world… those experiences… I want to share them. When we meet others, I wanna share my adventures with them!”

She grabbed her roast beef sandwich and giggled. “Not sharing this sandwich, though! I put lots of love into making this, it’s like my baby. Look how beautiful it is, Salem!”

Pema took another large bite of her beloved sandwich, causing a slice of roast beef to fall onto the grass and gravy spilled on the pages. “No, my baby!” She cried.

Salem sighed at the display in front of him, then focused on her story proposition. “Well, it definitely would be interesting to share those kinds of... Wait, what are you-- Don't lick the page, Pema!"

"But the 'three second rule'..." She frowned.

"Not a real thing." He said bluntly. "Anyway, you want to document your journey inside that book?”

She smiled, curling her body on the soft grass that tickled her face. “Yeah, I think that would be wonderful. There is so much hate in this world... and maybe what we all need is to find wonder and fantasy in our lives. It’s okay to love and to be yourself, and sometimes, it can be scary to let that side of yourself free... but, I wanna keep moving forward and live my life to the fullest!"

Salem looked at her with pride. "That's a great way to analyze it. Resonating energy with others is very beneficial to social growth."

Pema nodded and stared up at the blue sky. The wind flowed through her hair and she closed her eyes. "Hey, Salem?" She spoke quietly.

"Yes?"

"Promise me we'll never lose this. I never want these days to end... Not for one second..." She smiled softly and turned to him.

Salem floated to her hand, and she held on tight. "Of course we won't, Pema." He said tenderly, "After all, this is your story. You find your own path."

She shook her head. "No... This is our story."

"Pema..."

Suddenly, she sat up on the grass and dug through her pocket, producing a pen. "Okay! Now we just need a title for our book! Let's see... How about 'The Wild Adventures of Pema and Salem'!"

Salem chuckled. "Not bad, not bad, but perhaps the 'Wild' part is a bit too wacky, considering the circumstances? Also, you don't need to put my name in the title; best to keep it simple. Besides, I'm sure I'll have plenty of exposure in your book."

She crossed her arms, "Hmm, yeah... Okay, then let's try 'The Curious Adventures of Pema'? I mean, so many of our adventures were strange and weird, so the 'curiosity' of the title makes sense... OH! Wait, now I have the perfect title!"

"Lay it on me." He replied.

She extended out her hands and motioned them across the sky, spelling out the name. "The Curious Tales of Pema!"

"Haha, that's a really good one."

"Right?" She chirped happily. "I think Tales has a more fantastical and imaginative feel than Adventures!"

"Indeed, it does. So, it settled then?" He asked.

Pema nodded and put her pen to the page. "Yep! Alright, I think it's time I start."

She began to write.

"My name is Pema, and my friend is Salem. This is our story."

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on September 07, 2015, 06:24:27 PM
Actually it's this thread that should be used for bios. 

The normal discussion stuff should be discussed in the General RP discussion thread but Quickie got confused when she wanted to be let known that she wanted to join Manaverse so we used this as the discussion thread before we went back to the proper discussion thread.  Ironically this thread was born because Phi got confused about me saying I wanted to make a Supplment story thread for myself in the Fan Creations section for my character's similar to PB's Go RPM but hey if people can use this it doesn't matter.  Confusion everywhere!

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on September 07, 2015, 10:37:46 PM
For Nightmare I'd say Wilypocalypse would be easier since Mana-verse is a Fantasy RP.  However unless you have a space ship it would be hard to get in at this point since no one is really on the planet's surface, unless you stumble upon the Fxenodrome, but after the space battle my characters will be on the planet's surface for a time.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on September 07, 2015, 11:05:12 PM
Writing Arc into a fantasy setting might not be too hard. I'd need to swap "laser scythe" for "regular scythe" and "cybernetics" for "magically fused with a golem", but it could work.

I'll take a look at Wilypocalypse, though. Arc being on the planet isn't much of a stretch, I'd just need to alter his timeline a little. I can be patient.  :)
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Phi on September 08, 2015, 12:27:32 AM
The thing is, I already have a WilyRP character named "Arche", and it's pronounced just like Arc.

So, I think there would be too much confusing there. Mana might work best.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on September 08, 2015, 12:29:23 AM
Or he could just change the name.  Besides I usually pronounced Archetype's nickname as Arch.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Phi on September 08, 2015, 12:40:53 AM
But, that's the incorrect pronunciation.

It's from the mythological name Archetype, which is pronounced Arc-uh-type. None of the characters would be saying "Arch", especially after introducing himself many times before.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on September 08, 2015, 12:42:39 AM
I think of the term Character Archetype when I hear his name hench why I think Arch rather and Ark.  Besides Archie would make more sense than Ark-e as a nickname for Kit and Zeta to call him. 

Just explaining my perspective really though like I said all he has to do is change his name to eliminate any would be confusion.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Phi on September 08, 2015, 01:18:38 AM
Character Archetype also starts with "Ark". The pronounciation of the word never changes.

Either way, yes, a name change would be good.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on September 08, 2015, 10:32:21 AM
Thanks for posting those links, Sakura. I got something good out of the second one.  8)

I've updated my characters' bio, but for simplicity's sake, here's the TL;DR version:

- Character is now called "Xhai" (pronounced "Zay"). Weapon is now called "Xhaiden" (means "Beam of Cleansing Light")
- Cybernetics are now extremely heat-resistant.
- Weapon now has a stronger reason for being solar-powered. When exposed to strong, direct sunlight (middle of a desert, for example), the blade heats up to temperatures of around 1500dC/2750dF (which is hot enough to melt steel). In dark areas or when running off its core alone, its just a regular scythe. At full power he can fire the blade as a laser beam of sorts (hence the name), but has to be extremely careful around allies or buildings, as the heat given off by the blade WILL cause massive collateral damage if he's not careful.

So, ah, yeah. Thank you very much!  8)

Pema's prequel story:

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on January 12, 2016, 11:23:48 PM
Mmm, thanks for the feedback.

I generally try to write my characters so they can work in different settings (for example, Xhai is half-cyborg in sci-fi or futuristic settings, and half-golem in fantasy ones), but you're right. Thinking about it, Aaru and Leo would work better in Manaverse than Wilypocalypse. Xhai'd need some tweaks to fit, and Bell can work in either, I'd just need to alter her skillset a little.

I've got something to think about while I'm writing the bios for my remaining characters, anyway.  :)

Yeah... but I don't plan on having too many active at once, unless everyone is spanning the globe. It helps keep it manageable. Only the introductory post had them all, and even then only about 3 spoke more than a line.

I prefer keeping the number of characters I use to a minimum if I can help it. This is why anything that isn't Wilypocalypse I only use one.

Thanks, it's good to know I can still create interesting characters  '>.>

Something I neglected to mention in the bios was that both Bell and Saden's names have meanings in the same way Xhai and Aaru's do. From the information I pulled up when researching names (gotta thank you again for those links you provided a while back):

Bellona: Derived from Latin "bellare" meaning "to fight".
Valcadash: In English, the name Valcadash means - "bright, strong willed"
Saden: In German, the name Saden means - "dark hearted." I kinda-sorta alluded to this by making her main weapon a Zweihander instead of a regular sword.

Quick bios update: Added another paragraph to Leo's "Personality" section, as well as another line to Bell's "Profile" section. I've overhauled Bell's "Personality" section, too. I had a really neat idea a couple days ago, and these changes are meant to foreshadow/blatantly imply it.

Hmm? Oh, right. THOSE changes.  '>.>

Xhai, Leo, Saden and Bell all have new character themes. I'd intended to give everyone a new/more fitting theme, but I'm still sifting through my rather...eclectic...music collection to find alternatives. For what it's worth, the video for Bell's new theme gives a rough idea of what she (and by extension, someone else) looks like.

I've been spending some of my free time working on a little more of the lore and backstory for my characters and imagining where the "story" of sorts might take them. Dumb/cliche as it'll sound, I like the idea of introducing another small group of characters, and having the main group switch from a grounded base to an airship.

I drew up a list of possible ideas for characters....but.....would you guys mind if I dropped it here to get some feedback on what might/might not work?

Sorry, I know this must be getting old. (I have how many characters already?) I just really like the idea of an extended team/family dynamic.

'K. This is just a base idea for each, along with any other thoughts I may have had.

[spoiler]- Cyborg prototype (Xhai's predecessor, not as efficient)
- Reanimated knight (inverse Dullahan)
- Reanimated knight (fused with serpent)
- Reanimated knight (Frankenstein-esque. has personalities from multiple sources)

Just to check, your jiangshi will be hopping around right?

Yeah, unless I decide to do something crazy like give them a grappling-hook or something.

I should probably clarify the "dullahan" one, too. Regular Dullahan is a body with no head. This one would be a head with no body.

Well, jiangshi have always been an underused undead in any RPs... Then again... I have NEVER seen jiangshi in any RPs...

I support jiangshi, and xhai prototype for shenanigans.

Alright, that works. I got a couple neat ideas myself, so it'll be...

#1 Jiangshi
#2 Cyborg Prototype
#3 Half-Dragon
#4 Scorpion-Drider-Thing

I like the Yuki Onna, Reploid Medic, Half Dragon, and the Empty Armor despite having so many knights.

Ninja is also an idea to.

despite having so many knights.

My painfully thin excuse for that is they were facing a necromancer. It stands to reason that some of his footsoldiers may have slipped through the cracks.  8)

Actually, looking at your suggestions, Im'ma combine the Yuki-Onna and Ninja into a single character. Should prove interesting.

I have some ideas, so now I just gotta work on the bios. Might be a while (and I can see this being at least a double-post in the Bios thread. Phi was right, you probably COULD publish a Harry Potter sized book with all my bios. I get too into things, ne?), but they'll be up soon-ish. Need to polish up my oneshots for posting here, too.

Also, updated my signature to include the new characters. Links'll be added in as they're posted, I just wanted to give you guys an idea of what to expect.

This is one of the one-shots I mentioned in a previous post. This particular one is intended to set-up the introduction of some of my new characters and deal with some of the more...in-depth backstory stuff that couldn't really be covered in a bio. Apologies if the formatting seems a little strange, I typed this up in WordPad originally, then copypasta'd it into a post. Linked images are just to give you a basic idea of what things look like since I suck at describing appearances.

One thing I never really found an ideal time to mention. The mobile base Xhai's group uses now has a name, so if anyone refers to something you're not familiar with, that'll be it.

That said....



[spoiler]Mika wiped a thin layer of sweat off her forehead as the blast doors leading in to the research facility closed behind her. The group had been travelling through the Dry Dry Desert when she'd had the sudden urge to visit her father and catch up with her friends at the place she'd called home before setting out to explore the world. Xhai had agreed that a visit might be fun, and the two had made a quick detour. A short group discussion had led to them parking the Bastion a distance away from the facility entrance and crossing the desert on foot to reach it. Turning to her friend, who was just now returning his jacket to its' regular position across his shoulders, she pouted at him.

"I don't get it. How can you stand heat like that?"

Xhai shrugged, but offered her a sympathetic smile anyway.

"I 'unno. Ask your dad, he made me this way."

They were met shortly afterwards by the head of the security team. After taking a moment to verify their identities, he waved them through and began escorting them to the recreation room. Xhai was interested to note that the corridors now had squads of armed guards patrolling them. Leaning in towards Mika and dropping his voice, he voiced his concern.

"I don't remember security being this tight when I left. You think something happened?"

Mika's expression told him she knew as much about this change as he did, but any further chance at discussion stopped when they reached the rec room doors. They slid open with a muted hiss, and Mika's eyes went wide when she spotted the individual waiting on the other side. She was off like a shot and all-but tackled the dark-haired man as he stepped forward with a friendly grin on his face. Letting out a muted grunt at the sudden impact, he chuckled and ruffled her hair affectionately. "Good to see you too, Mika. You dyed your hair?"

Mika nodded, and looked up at him through teary eyes. Her voice, however, proved beyond doubt that they were tears of happiness. "Uh-huh. I always told you that I was going to, Dad. You don't need to sound so surprised."

Mika's father laughed again. "Sorry, sorry. It's just strange seeing my little girl with hair the same colour as the bubblegum she loves so much." Beaming, he moved his gaze upwards to meet Xhai's and waved with the hand that wasn't trapped beneath his daughter's hug. "Hello Xhai. How's the outside world treating you?"

Xhai matched the man's grin with one of his own. "Eh, you know. See the world, meet interesting people. Kick the bejeezus out of some less interesting people." He shook his head. "Man, the stories I have to tell you..."

Extracting himself from his daughter, her father chuckled again. "Well, it's good to see you both doing so well. Why don't we retire to my office and catch up? I have some important things to discuss with you, as well." Turning to another door on the far side of the room, he missed the questioning look that Xhai and Mika shared at that last statement.



The door closed behind them, and nobody missed the click of a lock sliding into place. When he turned to face the two friends, Mika's father had a grave expression on his face, a far cry from the jovial look he'd worn on the way over. Motioning the two to a battered looking pair of couches surrounding a small coffee table in the corner, he sank heavily into one of them and waited for Xhai and Mika to seat themselves opposite him. Sighing, he seemed to take a moment to compose himself, and when he spoke again his voice was deadly serious. "I suppose in some ways it's fortunate the two of you arrived when you did. I have a favour to ask of you, but please, hear me out before you commit to a decision on this. I fear the consequences of what I'm about to ask could be dangerous to us all."

Xhai and Mika shared a look, and a brief, wordless conversation took place, ending when they nodded in unison and shifted their attention back to the man opposite them. Any trace of fun or relaxation was gone from their expressions, and they were both clearly wearing their serious faces. Mika's father studied them for a moment, then nodded, apparently satisfied with what he was seeing. "Good. I assume you've both noticed the increased security detail?" They nodded. "About three months ago we received new instructions from our backers. They were apparently pleased at the success of Project Xhaiden-" Xhai scowled at the mention of that. He hadn't liked the way some of the researchers had seen him as little more than an experiment. "-and had plans to advance things even further. I can honestly say, however, that I do not like where this change in direction is leading us. Shortly after this communication, the expedition teams brought in two new "specimens" and reactivated an old project as well."

Mika interrupted. "Sorry Dad, but...."specimens"?"

Her father nodded. "I do not know the details, as I was not assigned to either of those projects, but if they were anything like the one I was assigned then whatever-" he caught himself "-WHOever those specimens are, they must have been practically tortured..." He shuddered, his expression one of both sadness and regret, and squared his shoulders before continuing. "Our backers have decided that since Project Xhaiden was such a success, more potential is to be found in discovering new ways to further the human condition than in exploring our past. I was assigned to be part of the reactivated Project Siraj..." He stopped here and met Xhai's impassive gaze, his eyes hard. "The aim of Project Siraj is the advancement of humans through the application of cybernetics. It was one of the first things I, and this facility, ever attempted. Our first breakthrough, though, was deemed a failure and the project was abandoned, with the subject of our research being placed into a forced cold-sleep pending its'.....disposal". Neither Xhai nor Mika missed the venom he injected into that last word, practically spitting it out.

Xhai blinked slowly and asked with a calm tone. "Is there a reason you maintained eye contact with me throughout that whole spiel?".

Mika's father nodded. "Yes, and before I tell you what that reason is, I want to say I am sorry I was ever involved in such a thing. If I were able to go back and refuse to participate, I would." Taking a deep breath, he steeled himself to meet Xhai's gaze again, and stated firmly "Project Xhaiden was an attempt at rebooting our initial failed attempt. Project Siraj is your direct predecessor". Xhai's eyes widened in shock, but the man continued before he could be interrupted. "I believe our backers though that with your success, our initial attempt might be salvaged, but I received a message last week informing me that the project has been declared an out-and-out failure and will be terminated within the next few days. I have heard rumours circulating amongst some of the other researchers here that the other two projects are also ending, with their specimens also scheduled for termination. There was nothing I could do about this on my own, but now that you're here, I feel like there may be a chance...."

Xhai closed his eyes, and voiced his thoughts aloud. "What you're telling me is that I essentially have an older brother who's going to die in the next few days, and there are two others who are ALSO going to die simply because these mysterious "backers" of yours decided they're not "useful" any more?"

Mika, however, had latched on to something different. "Dad, I can't believe you never told me about this-" She raised a hand to cut off his attempt at a response "-but it's okay, I forgive you. I worked on stuff here too, remember? Being sworn to secrecy is something I can understand, even if I don't like it."

Her father gave a wan smile at that, and some of the tension in his shoulders disappeared. Mika was shocked at how old he managed to look at that moment, despite his relative youth. "Thank you, Mika. It makes me happier than you know when you say you don't hate me for keeping a secret like that from you. On a serious note, the termination procedures are due to commence in roughly two days, so there's not much time. I beg you, please save the ones we've abused in our desperate search for knowledge. You are the only ones I know who have the strength and intelligence to pull something like this off."

Mika frowned. "Even if we did, the Bastion doesn't have room for any more passengers, even with the unique situations of some of our current ones."

Her father smiled again, some of the earlier warmth returning to his eyes. "I don't know who or what you're referring to, but I may have an answer for you. As part of the new heading, our expedition teams were granted the use of a new mobile base. It's an airship, and much larger than the landcrawlers we commonly use." He fished around in the breast pocket of his labcoat and pulled out a small flashdrive. "I asked a friend of mine in the maintenance section to acquire as much information about it as he could. I'm certain that you and Minty working together could easily crack the locks on one of the access ports." He reached over and pressed the drive into Mika's hand. She clenched her fingers over it and nodded, her expression one of pure determination.

Xhai still had his eyes closed as he attempted to process everything he'd just been told. "Let me see if I got this straight. You're asking us to infiltrate one of the most heavily guarded secret research facilities in the world, locate three seperate prisoners, who'd have no reason to trust us, spring them, convince them to leave with us, then hijack a goddamned airship from right under the noses of the entire security force and fly outta here?" Xhai opened his eyes and let out a breath he didn't know he'd been holding, a cocky smirk adorning his face.

"Hell, why not?"



"...And that's what we know." Mika paused to try and gauge the reactions to what she'd just told everyone once they'd said their farewells and returned to the Bastion. Xhai had called a group meeting in her workshop as soon as they'd gotten back, and had been surprised to see Saden slip into the room once Bell had opened one of the hangar bays so Typhon could look in. She was pleased to note that practically everyone looked equal parts upset and angry. Leo was the first to break the silence.

"Despicable! I do not know who these "specimens" are, but we cannot leave them to die like this!"

Xhai grinned. "That's why we wanted to ask you guys to help us out. This isn't me forcing you to help, it's purely a voluntary thing." A quick look around the room was enough to tell him no-one would be backing out of this. "Heh, thanks guys. Okay, here's the plan. Minty, you still have that map of the place?"

The android, currently under its' male shell, nodded. "Indeed. I've already taken the liberty of marking the most probable locations for both our intended targets and the airship you mentioned." He held up a palm and a large holographic map sprang into life in front of him. Two large red dots indicated the areas he'd mentioned, and he was already calculating the quickest and most efficient routes to each. "I believe these are the most likely places for the things we need. I assume we are splitting into teams?"

Mika stepped in again, her position as the group's unofficial leader allowing her the authority to make decisions such as this. She'd argued with Xhai about this, claiming she didn't have the knowledge or experience to lead anything, but he'd simply told her he was more comfortable following than leading and that had been that. "Yes, and I've decided on the formations already. Aaru, take Leo and find the people we need to rescue. You're the most skilled of us at sneaking into places like this." The silver-haired girl nodded, her expression determined. Mika shot her a smile and continued, "Leo, your job will be to convince these people that they can trust us and should come with us."

"I understand. I will not fail."

Xhai took over here, his tone more serious than any the group had heard from him before. "Bell-" The blonde shot a bleary look in his direction "-I'm trusting you to get Mika to the airship. Minty will be with you, and they're the only ones who can get us in there and get it fired up ready for our escape." Receiving a tired smile and a thumbs-up, he turned to the other two members of the group currently present, though one of them was looking through an open hangar door. "Saden, Typhon, you're with me. The others are gonna need some sort of cover, so I figured we can go and raise a little hell to get the bulk of the guards off their backs." A digital grin flickered across the front of Typhon's mask, but Saden had a question.

"Are...you sure?"

Xhai's tone turned gentle as he responded. "I know you're worried about losing yourself again, but I trust you not to attack me. If it makes you feel any better, I've been told the guards are all mercenaries anyway, so don't feel bad about helping yourself to a drink if you're thirsty." A flash of crimson from beneath her hair told him he'd effectively squashed any doubts she'd had about participating. She often felt bad about having to kill people to prolong her own existence, but she had comparatively fewer issues killing other killers, which these guys likely were.

Leo voiced the one lingering question that no one wanted to ask. "And what of...." She trailed off as her eyes moved to the large green cylinder resting at the back of the room. Mika was the one to answer her. "I've taken measures for that. We didn't want to leave this place undefended while we're away, so I set up some scanners in each of the major rooms. Anyone that's not already here sets foot in the Bastion while we're away, the pod will open." She stopped there. Everyone already knew what the result of that would be.

Xhai spoke up one last time. "From what we know, the airship's hangars are big enough to accomodate the Bastion with no problems, so assuming everything goes according to plan we can swing by and pick it up later. Then Mika can disable the scanners." He hefted Xhaiden over his shoulder. "Everyone knows what they're doing?" Nods all around the room. Xhai didn't bother to fight the smile that crept over his face.

"Well then. Time for a jailbreak."



Xhai twirled his scythe in front of him to deflect another hail of bullets, and narrowed his eyes, trying to pick out the shooter's position. Typhon's booming laughter easily drowned out the blaring sirens even as the dull WHOOMPH of his flamethrowers signalled another wave of incoming guards. Saden had disappeared sometime shortly after they'd engaged, but given the way some of their assailants mysteriously stopped shooting after their arrival, Xhai assumed she was still active. Suddenly, the earpiece he'd been handed as they departed for the operation bleeped.

"This is Mika. We're in and getting the engines fired up now. Waiting on you guys."

Xhai grit his teeth and slowly pushed forwards, Xhaiden cutting a bloody swathe through the grunts in front of him. Mika securing the airship was good news. He'd known that his group would be pressured, but he was beginning to wonder if these assholes were coming from some sort of clown car parked in one of the corridors. There seemed to be no end to them. A curse from Typhon indicated that the pyromaniacal robot had run out of fuel and had been forced to switch to his laser blades. Xhai's earpiece bleeped again, Leo's voice sounded slightly distant, speaking through Aaru's earpiece as she was.

"Understood, Mika. We've just succeeded in convincing the last of the prisoners to follow us. We will reach your location soon. One of them had some....luggage....that needed to be brought with them."

Mika chimed in again. "Copy that, Leo. Xhai, pull back and head back to the Bastion, we'll meet you there." The line went quiet before Xhai could respond, not that he intended to. He trusted his friends to keep their promises.

Xhai blinked. Luggage?. Shaking his head, he slowly edged towards Typhon. "We're pulling out! Aaru and Mika did their jobs, now we gotta get back to the Bastion!"

Typhon swore again, backhanding a guard with enough force to send him flying bodily across the room. "Fine. This was getting boring anyway." With that, the 'bot slowly started backing towards the hole he'd torn in the blast doors when the attack started.

Xhai stabbed his scythe through the gut of another attacker and spun, throwing the body off. "SADEN! WE'RE LEAVING!" A shadow dropped from the ceiling and landed in front of him, perched delicately on a pair of crystalline legs. Saden's armour was covered almost head to toe in shining crimson, masking the rust underneath, and her gemstone eye was glowing brightly. At Xhai's questioning look, however, she shook herself and the maniacal grin she was wearing slowly faded back to her normal frown.

"Understood....Let's...go."

They fell back together and rejoined Typhon, who had been holding the exit route for them. The bot's gaze flickered down to meet Xhai's. "Took you long enough."

Xhai smirked. "Sorry big guy, had to convince my date that this party was getting boring."

Saden darted through the hole and skittered off into the desert, Xhai hot on her heels. Typhon slowly backed through and turned, sprinting (for him, anyway) after his comrades.

They reached the Bastion without incident, and it was a tired Xhai who looked up to see a large, indistinct mass heading towards them from the direction of the facility. As it drew closer and the clouds moved away, the moonlight allowed him to get his first look at the airship (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/ed/bc/4d/edbc4deed26a374bec079bc0b8363763.jpg) he guessed he'd soon be calling home.



Loading the Bastion on to the airship didn't take as long as Xhai had anticipated, and Mika rushed to meet him as he stepped off into the hangar. "Xhai! I'm glad you and the others are OK!"

Xhai didn't attempt to stop her from hugging him, though he didn't miss Typhon's eyes flicker in the closest approximation to an eyeroll that he could manage. Returning the embrace with his free arm, he asked, "Everyone alright? How are the rescuees?"

Mika stepped back. "Bell took a bullet to the shoulder, but all that did was [acid burst] her off. I don't think the guy that shot her will be walking again." She shuddered. An angry bell was scary. "The people we rescued are fine. Though, I'll admit they're....not quite what I was expecting." At Xhai's questioning look, she pointed at something concealed in the shadows. Xhai's eyebrows almost shot off his face when he realised what it was.

"Is that a coffin?"

Mika nodded. "Yup. Like I said, not quite what I was expecting. They're waiting for you on the bridge along with everyone else. I gotta disable the scanners on the Bastion, so I'll be up to join you soon."

Xhai smiled. "Thanks for everything, Mika. Your dad okay?" She nodded, explaining that he'd retired to his room after they left and had been feigning sleep during the whole ordeal. If anyone asked, he'd had no idea his daughter and their last project had been planning something so audacious. Xhai turned to his other two comrades. "You guys coming?"

Saden shook her head. "Need to...clean...my armour." Typhon didn't respond, the icon flashing on his visor indicating he'd gone into hibernation to recharge.

Xhai shrugged. " 'K. I'll see you later then." With that, he turned and headed for the elevator. He was looking forward to meeting his "brother".



Xhai hadn't been sure what to expect when he stepped onto the bridge. Mika's cryptic comments had left him curious. Sweeping his gaze across the room, Aaru was bandaging Bell's injured shoulder while miraculously managing to ignore the violent string of expletives coming from the blonde's mouth. Leo was standing off to the side, her body slowly becoming less tangible as the night started to give way to dawn, and Minty was sat at a control panel at the front of the room, apparently steering the ship. That left the three people Xhai didn't recognise.

The first was wearing (http://www.cosplayisland.co.uk/files/costumes/2864/44660/dw4-xiao-qiao1.jpg) a baggy-sleeved red shirt and a pair of black and gold shorts, coupled with a pair of black and gold boots. She was also wearing kneepads that appeared to have silk sleeves hanging off them, covering her shins. What really caught his attention, however, was the blue-green tinge to her skin and the paper tag attached to forehead, adorned with characters he didn't recognise. Her hair was tinged a deep blue as well, and tied into a long braid down her back.

The second (http://wallpaperhd.site/wp-content/uploads/half-dragon-half-human-anime-4.png) was an intimidating sight, to be certain. He stood a good head-and-a-half taller than Xhai, and most of his skin was covered in gleaming bronze scales. A wicked looking pair of curved horns sprouted from somewhere underneath his hairline, and a vicious looking spiked tail hung behind him, lashing the deck beneath his clawed feet every so often. The wings sprouting from his back twitched as Xhai approached but he was completely still otherwise, his eyes closed in deep thought.

The third and final member of this little group was an uncomfortable sight for Xhai. He stood about the same height as Xhai, but that was where the similarities ended. Brown hair framed a pale face marred by mismatched skin. Xhai fought back a wince. Visible cybernetics were never comfortable, exposed as they were to the elements. If the rest of his body was like that....Xhai cut that train of thought off before it reached the station. Most of this other cyborg's body was hidden underneath a large greatcoat and a pair of black jeans. with a pair of untied boots completing the ensemble.

Xhai approached the group and tried to paste a friendly smile on his face. "Hey there. I'm Xhai. It's nice to meet you all.....I'm...I'm glad we could get you all out of that place."

The girl was the first to respond, giving Xhai what he thought was a rather stiff-looking salute. Her voice was light and cheery, but had a strange....echo-y quality to it. "Ni hao! My name's Shu-Fang! Thanks for rescuing me from those jerks back there. I swear some people have no manners!" She paused, eyes going wide as the first rays of the sun began to peek over the horizon. "Whoops! Sorry, but there's somewhere I gotta be! I'll talk to you tonight, 'kay?" With that she turned and....hopped?...out of the room. Xhai blinked. Maybe there was some sort of problem that meant her legs couldn't move properly?

The draconic-looking man was the next to speak, regarding Xhai through a pair of narrowed, reptilian eyes. His voice was a deep, growling baritone that only served to increase his intimidation factor even more. Unfolding his arms to reveal that his fingers were also tipped with razor sharp claws didn't help any. "And a pleasure to meet you too, Xhai. You have my thanks for freeing me from that accursed prison. It would appear not all humans are as untrustworthy as I perhaps thought. My name is Cadmus. I would talk more at length, but I find myself growing weary, so I believe I shall save my questions for another time." With that, he left, his tail still moving as he disappeared down the hallway.

The cyborg regarded Xhai silently for a long moment. When he did speak, his voice sounded distorted, as though coming from a malfunctioning voicebox. "So....you're the one the scientists were all raving about when they woke me up?" Xhai nodded, not able to find his voice. Then, the cyborg broke out into a wide grin and embraced the stunned brunette. "Good to finally meet you, little brother! Call me Siraj, yeah?" Xhai could only nod dumbly as Siraj let him go and strolled out of the room, whistling a jaunty tune. Mika passed him as she entered the room, and couldn't help but giggle at Xhai's dumbfounded expression.

"See. I told you they weren't what I expected."

Xhai finally found his voice. "Y'know, it just hit me that we might have made a very powerful enemy today. I don't know who these "backers" are, but I get the feeling they're gonna be pretty pissed off at us for wrecking their stuff. Still, I'm glad we could help those three. Think they'll stick around?"

Mika shrugged. "Maybe. First thing we need to do is find a quiet place to land this thing so me and Minty can make sure everything's working properly. Minty's headed to a place he thinks might be suitable now, if that's OK?"

Xhai nodded, and moved over to stand next to Minty, staring out at the brightening blue sky. He was joined by Mika, Aaru (carrying Leo's sword, the knight having returned to the ether while Xhai was introducing himself to the new arrivals) and a still-cursing Bell. Suddenly, a thought struck him.

"Hey Mika, this ship have a name?"

She nodded. "Yup. The Halcyon"

Xhai smiled.

"I like it."[/spoiler]

... Now I'm jealous. ._.

Ah, don't worry. I've got a backstory all planned out already, and the bio's on my "To-Do" list. Hope you like the pun in her title, by the way.

Anyway, here's my next oneshot. This is the "Museum Incident" alluded to in Renny's (http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=82.msg497896#msg497896) bio. Warning for those who care: Bell has quite the foul mouth on her.

As an aside, Bell's dialogue isn't written in her usual tired, mumbly state because she's in "angry" mode for most of this.

[spoiler]"GET BACK HERE YOU [parasitic bomb]!"

Bell's angry shout echoed around the alleyway as she continued her pursuit, Saden moving along the wall somewhere above her. Spitting another curse, she increased her pace, ignoring the groan of protest from her legs. This was supposed to have been an easy job. She'd accepted a job to hunt down and capture a notorious fraudster and thief, and had gladly accepted Saden's help once it became clear that a night-time raid on his latest bolthole was the best option. It had started easy enough, she'd kicked the door off its' hinges and politely asked him to give himself up. Then the arrogant bastard had actually had the nerve to pull a goddamned knife on her! The ensuing tussle had resulted in her losing her ponytail and a good portion of the hair next to her right ear, and the bastard had bolted.

Hence the chase.

Turning a corner with the screech of steel on concrete, she just barely caught sight of him slipping through a door on the side of a large building. Saden dropped from her position on the rooftops as Bell stopped just short of the door, panting lightly. Cocking her head to one side, the undead knight regarded the building in front of them. "Do we....follow him?"

Bell growled. "Damn right we do. I'm not letting this [tornado fang] give us the slip after he did THIS to me!", running a hand through her now considerably shorter hair for emphasis.

Saden moved forward, her crystalline limbs twitching in anticipation. Slowly pushing the door open, she poked her head inside before turning back to her comrade. "Looks clear...."

Shoving past the knight with a scowl on her face, Bell's fist clenched. "Fine. Then we're ending this NOW." Saden watched her move into the darkness for a moment, then followed.



The sound of two sets of heavy footsteps, one distinctly slower than the other, echoed throughout the empty corridors. Bell's temper was slowly rising with every passing minute, but Saden was looking around with a curious expression on her face, her extra limbs temporarily withdrawn. "Where...are we...?"

Bell stopped for a moment and cast her gaze around the room. In what little moonlight was shining in throught the windows, dozens of glass cases could be seen, housing everything from stuffed animals to antique weapons. Bell gave a one-armed shrug. "Looks like a museum." She shook her head. "Agh, whatever! That son-of-a-[sonic slicer] is in here somewhere, and we're gonna find him. Now stop admiring this [parasitic bomb] and get back to looking!"

There was a muffled yell from somewhere ahead of them, and the two shared a look before Bell shot off towards it, Saden's extra limbs exploding from her back before she joined the blonde. Neither one of them paid any attention to the two ornate suits of armour locked in the largest case in the room.

Eventually, they found the source of the noise. A man wearing a security guard's uniform lay in a pool of blood in the middle of the main foyer. Bell gently rolled him over and cast her eyes over him. A large red patch framed a hole in the center of his shirt and was slowly spreading. She swore, and turned to her friend, who had stopped short of the scene and appeared to be struggling to hold herself back. "Damn it, Saden! Get a hold of yourself." She jerked her head towards the only other exit to the foyer. "The entrance hasn't been opened, which means our target went THAT way. Go after him. I'll patch this poor bastard up and catch up with you. Just remember, we need this guy ALIVE or we don't get paid, got it?"

Saden shuddered violently, and the limbs on her back slowly receded. When she spoke again, her voice was strained. "Got it....I'll...try..." Leaving Bell with the wounded guard, she moved as fast as her ruined body would allow towards the opposite wing of the museum.



It didn't take Saden long to find her target. He'd tried to hide in a storeroom, but his heavy, laboured breathing was almost painfully audible in the quiet hallways. Shoving the door open, she moved through, privately amused when he gave a yelp of surprise and fumbled with his knife, accidentally slicing his hand open. Saden froze.

Blood....

Against her will, her crystal limbs erupted from her back and began twitching erratically.

Feed.....KILL HIM....

Saden shook her head and tried to block out the voice in her head. "No....Need him...alive..."

Money is not important. You must feed. KILL HIM.

Saden clutched her head and sank to her knees, all thoughts of the job gone as she fought to retain her sanity.

The hapless crook, having been temporarily paralysed with fear when he'd gotten a good look at his zombiefied pursuer, took this as his cue to leave. Clutching his injured hand to his chest, he gingerly edged past the currently occupied knight, and slipped out the door.

It was at that point that Bell slammed a boot up under his chin, catapulting him into the ceiling. He struck the cheap plaster with enough force to leave an imprint, and collapsed heavily onto the floor, breathing but unconcious. Taking a moment to make sure he wouldn't be going anywhere, she leant through the door to check on her friend. "You alright?"

Saden's voice was tight with barely restrained anger. "Can't....control myself.....get him out of here....I'll follow....when I've calmed down..."

Bell nodded. She'd seen this happen enough to know that Saden would be fine. Eventually. "Got it. I'll go turn this piece o' [parasitic bomb] in then. Should I ask Mika to pick you up outside?" Taking the silence as a yes, she grabbed hold of her target's collar and started to drag him toward the entrance. Somehow, she knew she'd be sleeping well when she finally made it back to the Halcyon. For now, she had to wrap things up before the adrenaline and rage currently fuelling her faded. Narcolepsy sucked.



Saden didn't know how long it took her to force the voice back into silence and regain control of herself. Only the fact that the moon was still hanging brightly in the sky convinced her it hadn't been too long. Retracting her limbs, she staggered back to her feet and slowly shuffled out of the room, trying to mentally retrace her steps back to the door she'd originally entered from. She'd just made it out of the door when the faint sound of glass shattering reached her ears. She froze. Bell had already left, and she doubted the security guard they'd found earlier could've made the noise. If Bell had kept her word, he'd be sleeping in one of the security rooms. So then what had...? She shook her head and kept walking, her mind still tired from the mental battle she'd only just managed to win. At times like this, she was almost glad to be....like she was. Her footsteps were slower than any living person, but just frequent enough that the rhythm was almost soothing if she focused on it.

Clank.....clank.....clank....clankclank.

Saden stopped, dimly aware that she'd made it back to the main foyer. That last clanking sound hadn't been one of her footsteps, had come from further back, down the corridor they'd stopped in before they found the guard. "What....could've?"

Clankclankclankclankclank.

Tilting her head, Saden considered the noise. It was definitely getting closer. "Footsteps...?"

Clankclankclank...clank...clank...

The noise had stopped. Saden raised her head to stare across at the other entrance and her eyes widened in shock. A suit of armour stood in front of her, apparently empty, with one hand held over its' breastplate. It wasn't that fact that had caught her attention, though. She....knew this armour. Yes, the colours were faded, the cloth skirt tattered and torn, but the suit was familiar. "That's....Guin's armour? What...?"

Her thoughts were cut off when a new voice echoed around the room, seeming to come from somewhere around the empty suit.

"Saden?....Is that...you?"

Saden's eyes somehow managed to widen even further. That voice....! Before she could speak up again, the suit had crossed the room and caught her in a tight hug.

"It IS you! What happened to you, Saden? You look terrible. Your armour's ruined, and your skin's all...."

Placing a hand on the suit's shoulders, Saden gently pushed it back so her good eye could get a proper look at it. That voice...."R-....Renny?"

The suit bobbed up and down, as though whoever was wearing it was nodding vigourously.

"Yep! It's me! I'm surprised to see you here. I've been stuck in that glass box for soooo long. When I saw you and your friend run past I just HAD to get out of there and find out if I was just imagining things..."

Gently coaxing the suit-Renny's arms off of her waist, Saden shot her a rare smile. "Good....to see you too. No time....to chat now...though. We have to....leave...before....the staff....return."

Renny's arm moved upwards, her hand adopting a pose equivalent to someone resting a finger on their chin while they thought.

"Staff? Oh right, the people who work here. I guess it WOULD be pretty strange if they found us both here, huh?"

Saden nodded. "Come on....I'll...take you back...to where I live now. Need to...stop by the...security office...first, though."

When the museum re-opened in the morning, the day staff found an injured night-guard sleeping peacefully in one of the break rooms. More important was the broken display case and missing suit of armour in the East Wing. Reaching the security room proved no help, though. Someone had apparently taken a blunt object to the recording console, smashing the equipment and rendering the previous nights' CCTV footage unretrievable.



Xhai stared at the pair in front of him, not entirely sure how to respond. Bell had requested a pick-up from a bounty office and informed them of what had happened during the job before stumbling off to her room for a nap. When they went to collect Saden outside a museum, he hadn't expected this. Running a hand through his hair, he sighed. "I'm sorry, run that by me again?"

Saden blushed, her grey skin briefly adopting a greenish tinge. Behind her, an empty suit of armour stood, nervously pushing its' fingers together. "It's like...I told you.....She's...."

Xhai suppressed a groan. Somehow he figured he'd need to ask Mika to free up another room in the crew quarters once this conversation was over.[/spoiler]

I don't plan on inserting any of my characters bar the ones currently present (Xhai in Wilypocalypse, and Bell/Leo in Manaverse) in anything outside cameo roles. But, yeah, I see where you're coming from. But doesn't this particular Robo Clone strike you as something Doc would actually do?

On a side note, I hope I'm doing a good job putting everyone's personalities across. By that, I mean, I hope everyone who reads these is getting a good feel for the characters.

Yeah even with the dropped out characters (Prof, Riagan, and Sapph) it's pretty big.  It's okay for Wilypocalypse, since huge ass war and all, but a party limit seems necessary unless we get more drop outs.

I'll bring an NPC to town after this shard or the next depending on my mood but they won't do much other than a plot dump about Calien.  And hilarious violence because Calien is the designated Iron Butt Monkey.

Okay then.

-Party was put in jail temporarily since we kind of arrived in Black Beard's old Airship

-In order to gain the trust of the police we had to investigate a monster disturbing women

-Monster turned out to be Ultros, we tried to negotiate but we fail and he escaped.

-We told the cops Ultros probably won't bother the town and they let us in.

-In the bar there were 3 people of interest, Caetlynn who is looking for someone to remove a cursed bracelet, Florence a suspicious but heavily intoxicated woman, and Bell a strong woman who takes no fucks, kicks ass and carries a mysterious Sword despite fighting with her legs.

-We learned Salem's back story.

-Fxeni became drunk and everyone went to bed.

-Morning arrives and the party discuss their plan to find the first of 3 shards that fell around the area.

-Florence barges in, as she hasn't actually join the party just yet, having a nasty hangover.

-Bell (?) is sleeping outside and apparently killed 2 criminals.

That should be it.

Welp, here we go. Um, I hope I captured your character accurately, Doc. And, uh....hope I haven't offended you.  8)

Also, damn it Typhon.

[spoiler]Luna sighed and shifted the serving tray to her off hand, giving the hem of her skirt another sharp tug as she headed towards DrWilyII's office. She'd been fine with following his orders, it was what she'd been built to do,after all, but was the maid outfit really necessary? Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that the other copy-bots based here allowed her a couple of days off every week, she'd have probably gone insane from the sheer indignity of it all. Stopping just outside the door (and ignoring the extravagant gold-plaque attached to it. The nameplate was fine, but the engraving of an impossibly muscular Doc striking a manly pose was just unnecessary), she reached for handle, only to stop short when the Doctor's voice reached her ears.

"WHAT!?......WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE RESEARCH FACILITY IS TRASHED!? WHO TRASHED IT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW!? What? It gets worse.....WHAT?! THE PRISONERS ESCAPED!? HOW DID.....What? There's more?.....THEY STOLE THE AIRSHIP. TOO!? WHO'S "THEY"!? YOU DON'T KNOW!?....NO SURVIVING WITNESSES!?.....WHAT AM I NOT USING YOU AS A GUINEA PIG FOR ANYWAY!? ARGH, FINE!"

A loud crash signalled that the impromptu phone call had apparently ended. Luna's mind was racing as she considered the implications of what she'd just overheard. Someone had defied the Doctor, and from the sound of things they seemed to have gotten away with it. She'd briefly had thoughts of escaping from here before, but the knowledge that the Doctor would never let her roam free kept her from ever acting on them. But, an airship? If she could reach that, she could probably convince whoever had stolen it to take her in, and if they could defy him once, they could probably do it again, right? Then he'd never be able to take her back. She could be....free?

That particular train of thought lasted only a few seconds, but was enough to reinforce the spur of the moment decision she'd just made. Pasting a smile on her face, she pushed the door open and stepped through. "Good morning, Doctor. I brought your morning coffee."

DrWilyII pushed his swivel-chair away from the computer he'd been sat at, the gaping hole in the screen forgotten as he swung around to face the one who'd spoken to him. "Hm? Oh, Lunamaria." His eyes roved up and down her form for a moment. God, I love that maid costume. A lecherous grin briefly spread across his face. Fortunately for Luna, he was too distracted to notice her roll her eyes as he lost himself in his thoughts. Shaking himself out of his daydream, he gratefully accepted the drink. "Thank you. This is just what I need to calm myself down."

Luna tilted her head to the side, examing the still-smoking computer on the desk behind him. "Bad news, Doctor?"

He gave a dismissive wave. "Ah, a call from my secret facility in the Dry Dry Desert. Someone attacked it, released the test subjects there and stole the prototype airship I sent to aid the researchers there. I'll find them eventually, and when I do...." He broke out into an evil cackle. Luna struck a thoughtful pose and waited for him to finish.

"Excuse me, Doctor? Why don't I go and look for them? It'd be the perfect chance for me to field-test the Mobile Suit you built for me. I could find the ship, tell you where it is, and then you could....I don't know, teleport a swarm of Rabid Mets onto it or something."

DrWilyII sipped his drink, his expression thoughtful. "I see, not a bad idea. OR! I could send you to go and look for them! Then, when you find the ship you can tell me where it is and I can teleport a swarm of Rabid Mets onto it....or something. It'll be the perfect chance for you to field-test the Mobile Suit I built for you." He rose from his chair, glasses shining ominously, and swept an arm in front of him in a stereotypical "dramatically giving orders" pose. "YES! This is the perfect plan! Lunamaria, I order you to track down the miscreants who stole my ship and report their location to me! I might even have a special reward for you when you return." He waggled his eyebrows at her suggestively.

Luna forced down the instinct to shudder at that, and instead saluted. "Aye aye, sir! I'll go and get ready to launch right away!" She turned and practically sprinted from the office. DrWilyII watched her leave, a grin splitting his face. I hate to see her go, but boy do I love watching her leave.



As Luna zipped the front of her pilot suit up, she shot the discarded maid outfit a glare that unfortunately didn't see it burst into flames in front of her. The walk to the hangar passed quickly, and she hopped into the cockpit of the Zak-2 with an ease that belied the fact it was her first time doing so. She'd gone over all the data that could be found on the airship's last known heading, and had mapped out some potential locations to begin her search. Fiddling with the port on the back of her neck, she connected herself to the MS' systems and slipped into a temporary hibernation as her conciousness took over the larger mech.



In his office, DrWilyII sat in his chair, idly stroking a Rabid Met with a pair of novelty cat-ears duct-taped to its' helmet. All he had to do now was wait for Luna's signal. He eyes strayed to the nurse outfit laying on the table that had formerly housed his computer. Soon....



It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly, and life aboard the Halcyon was about as peaceful as it ever got. The ship was currently suspended over a large lake, siphoning water to refill the reserve tanks. Xhai lay on the deck near the bridge exit, Siraj leaning against the wall just behind him. Both were there to enjoy the sunshine, thought their thoughts were heading in entirely different directions. Siraj was idly rolling a lit cigarette between his fingers, thinking about nothing in particular.

Xhai, meanwhile, was going over the events of the last few days, wondering what ridiculous turn of events would befall him next. Between the raid on the facility, stealing the ship, meeting his "older brother" and then Saden showing up with another undead knight, it'd been a crazy week.

As if on cue, a twinkle in the sky caught Siraj's attention. The elder cyborg took a long drag on his cigarette and exhaled slowly. "Hey, little bro. Don't wanna get you excited, but something's heading this way."

Xhai sat upright, and followed Siraj's line of sight. Squinting, he couldn't keep the surprise from his voice. "Is that a Mobile Suit?"



Luna couldn't help herself and gave a little fist-pump of victory as the silvery mass of the missing airship filled her optics. The first few locations had been busts, turning up nothing but disappointment and a genuine fear that she might actually have to go back to the....well, it wasn't exactly a hellhole, but she didn't want to go back there regardless. Now that she'd found the thing, the next step was to make contact with whoever was in charge of it and hopefully reach an understanding.

Drawing closer, she spotted two figures out on the deck and slowed her approach. Neither one of them made any move as she slowly halted over the deck and cut the thrusters.



Xhai and Siraj watched the Mobile Suit descend on to the deck. Xhai's hand strayed towards his belt, and the hilt of his scythe, but caught himself as it landed and raised its' hands in the universal gesture of surrender. Siraj just took another drag on his cigarette and quirked a brow at the sight.

There was a hiss of pressurised steam, and the cockpit popped open. A lithe figure in a red and silver pilot suit dropped out, and quickly mimicked the pose of the suit stood behind her.



Luna did her best to hide her nervousness as the two men on the deck studied her. The younger of the two seemed wary, while the older just looked amused. She couldn't help but wonder what had happened to him, though. She knew cybernetics were slowly becoming more prevalent as an injury treatment from listening to the Doctor rave about the success one of his research labs had been having, but....exposed cybernetics? They looked old, too, almost outdated. Shame really, he'd be kinda handsome if not for the mismatched pink-and-gunmetal look his face sported. She was snapped out of her musings when the younger one spoke, his tone....curious?

"And you are?"

She took a cautious step forward and slowly removed her helmet, letting it fall to the deck with a dull clunk and trying to look as nonthreatening as possible. This was her chance. If she could pull this off, she'd be free. "My name is Lunamaria Hawke. Please, could you help me? I'm trying to get away from-". She felt something shift in the back of her mind, and then all she knew was darkness.



Xhai's initial wariness quickly changed to panic when the girl started speaking, only to scream and collapse with smoke pouring from her mouth.

As Xhai raced over to check on the girl, Siraj took a final drag and dropped the cigarette, stubbing it out with his boot. "Huh. I'll go get Mika."



The door to Mika's workshop slid open, and a clearly exhausted pink-haired girl staggered out. Xhai gently guided her across the hallway to her room and sat her down on the bed. Once he was sure she was going to be fine, he asked "How's our guest?"

Mika rubbed her eyes sleepily. "Sleeping. I'll admit I was surprised when Siraj asked me to come out onto the deck and take a look at an injured stranger. Even more so when that stranger turned out to be a robot-" She paused briefly as a huge yawn split her face for a moment "-Mm. Sorry. What did you say her deal was?"

Xhai shrugged. "I don't know much. She got about as far as asking for help and saying she trying to escape....something."

Mika looked thoughtful. "That sounds about right. Once I got her patched up, I asked her some questions. She's telling the truth when she says she not our enemy, but for some reason any time I asked about what she was running from she locked up. Trying to talk about it triggers the reaction you saw earlier. I tried asking her to write it instead, but her arm refuses to move whenever she's about to cover anything important. I think there's some sort of failsafe in her programming that's preventing her from saying anything about the person or persons she's trying to hide from. I did remove THIS from her headcase, though." She pulled a small, silver disc from her pocket and handed it to Xhai. "I think it's some sort of tracker. She couldn't tell me too much about it, but she was able to imply that she was supposed to use it to call for reinforcements after she found us."

Xhai stared at it for a moment, then grinned as remembered something he'd seen during his earlier sunbathing session. "I think I know what to do with this. Anything else?"

Mika nodded. "I think we'll need to take her clothes shopping at some point."

Xhai blinked. "Okay, first off, you're fine with letting her stay? And....clothes shopping?"

Another nod. "Like I said, she's telling the truth when she says she's not an enemy. If she's running from someone, she'll likely be safer here than wandering around on her own. To be honest, I don't think she has any friends, so maybe staying with us will be good for everyone. And yes, clothes shopping-" She blushed. "-I don't think she'll like me telling you this, but she's....not wearing anything under that pilot suit."

Xhai forced himself not to think about THAT particular mental image. "Right, I'll give her the good news when she wakes up, then. In the meantime, Im'ma go set this-" He held the tracker up "-in a special place. If we can trigger it remotely, and everything goes the way I'm hoping, this'll be fun".

Mika nodded and sank back onto the bed, clearly ready for a nap. "Wake me up before you do anything too fun, then. Oh, before I forget, what happened to that Mobile Suit she brought with her?"

Xhai grimaced. "I think Typhon's trying to put the moves on it. Something about "an axe that just won't quit". I don't think he realises it's not sentient."

The bubblegum-haired tech wiz shuddered. "Great, now I'm going to have nightmares. Tell him to get his mind out of the gutter and get that suit into one of the hangars, will you? I'm going to take nap. Open head surgery's more tiring than I thought."

A nod. "Got it. Sleep tight."



Waking up initially proved rather difficult for Luna. Her systems were booting much slower than she was used to, but then she remembered what had happened before she passed out and practically shot off the workbench she was laying on. A quick spot-check showed she was still dressed, but for some reason she couldn't shake the feeling something was missing. The sound of someone clearing their throat caught her attention, and she paused her examination to meet the gaze of the young man-cyborg, her scans corrected her-from earlier.

"Hey there. Luna, was it? I'm Xhai. It's nice to meet you. My friend told me about the discussion you two had before you went to sleep. For what it's worth, I'm glad you're okay, and....if you want to stay here, you're more than welcome. We're more than happy to have another friend on board."

Luna couldn't fight the smile that spread across her face. Just like that? They'd accepted her that easily? She was finally free of....Oh. The smile disappeared as she remembered one rather important detail. "Wait. There's a...." She trailed off, not sure if she could talk about it, but pointed to her head to try and get the point across.

Xhai smiled. "Don't worry. We know about the tracker. My friend got it out while she was helping you." A grin spread across his face. "Actually, if you're feeling up to joining us on the deck, I might have a little "welcome to the family" present for you."

Luna grinned again, both surprised and happy beyond words at the "welcome to the family" bit. "Sure. Lead the way."

She wasn't sure what she'd been expecting when she stepped out onto the deck again, but the first thought that ran through her mind was Oh God, I've traded one madhouse for another. If her scanners were accurate (and she had little reason to doubt they weren't), she was now part of a group consisting of at least two cyborgs, a zombie, an empty suit of armour that was moving around with no apparent justification and a girl who seemed to have had her legs replaced by a freaking scorpion. It was only Xhai's hand on her shoulder that stopped her from shutting down on the spot. When he did speak, his tone was gentle.

"I know we seem like a strange bunch, and trust me, some of us are. This isn't everyone, but I promise you, everyone on this ship is a good person, even if some of us don't come across that way at first."

Seeing that his speech apparently hadn't entirely reassured her, he passed her a small silver box with a red button on the top. "Remember I said my friend took that tracker out of your head? She also told me you were supposed to call for back-up with it. I don't know who you used to work for, but how'd you feel about giving them a poke in the eye for driving you to rebel like this, eh?" He pointed to the spot he'd marked when setting up his little stunt earlier. "When you're ready, just push the button."

Luna couldn't quite suppress a shark-like grin at the thought of getting a little payback. "Y'know, I think Xhai might be right. I think I might actually be able to be happy here. I think I can call this ship home. Just gotta take the good with the weird, I guess." After a moment's hesitation to make sure she was looking at the right spot, she pushed the button.



In his office, flanked by one of his closest aides, DrWilyII smirked as Lunamaria's beacon activated. "Now I have them. Send the reinforcements and destroy the fools who dared to defy me!"

As one of his satellite cameras locked in on the location of the beacon, he watched with a triumphant grin as an army of Rabid Mets teleported in....and charged straight off the edge of the cliff, falling into the depths of the lake without a sound.

An awkward silence permeated the room. Then, DrWilyII fell off his chair, twitching slightly.

Staring down at the now-insensate evil genius, Aile-bot #57 rolled her eyes. It was going to be another one of those days.



Back on the deck of the Halcyon, the assembled group watched in stunned silence as the crystal blue waters of the lake slowly began to turn yellow as an apparently endless number of Mettaurs performed a lemming-like exodus into its' depths.

Setting the tone for her future relationship with the team, Luna mused aloud, "Hey, I wonder if this would be considered an environmental disaster?"[/spoiler]

Also I just thought of something, evil alternate dimension Fxeni also has exposed Cybernetics and we know the alternate Wily in his dimension was behind corrupting him.  We also know Wily was a backer for project Xhaiden and Siraj, so you think maybe those elements could be connected somehow?

Hahahah, a cook-off oneshot sounds like an amazing idea. I might have to try and do something with that. Don't think it'll be as long as the others I've written so far, but that could very well be the most entertaining thing I'll ever write!

As for the other thing, I had no idea that Alter-Fxeni was in a similar boat. You've got a point though, that could make for some very interesting stories, especially with how I plan to tie Shani in to Xhai's backstory when she finally makes a proper appearance.

Doc, Fxeni, what do you think of this?

I took your "Treasure Hoard" idea and ran with it, Sakura.

Hope everyone likes!

[spoiler]For bonus points, see if you can name who numbers #22-#25 are imitating. No prizes, unless you can think of something I'd be able to do for you.[/spoiler]

Without further ado....Oneshot #004 - All That Glitters....

[spoiler]The door to DrWilyII's office slid open as Aile-bot #57 strode through. "Doctor, your hunch was correct. We've located a dragon, and we believe they're guarding a treasure hoard of not inconsiderable size."

DrWilyII looked up from the forms he'd been examining. It was painful to admit, but even evil masterminds have to file their taxes. "Wonderful. #57, please inform numbers 3-through-7 that I have a job for them-" He paused for dramatic effect, missing the exasperated look on #57's face "-and send in the Cosplay Rangers, too! I want this done right!"

#57 made a mental note, and was already connecting to the base's security cameras to locate the relevant people. "Understood. To prevent any.....misunderstandings....what are their exact orders?"

DrWilyII swept a hand in front of him, his glasses shining. "Raid the treasure hoard! Strip it bare and deposit it all into Test Chamber 3." And then, almost as an afterthought, "Oh, and bring the Dragon in, too. Alive if possible. I've been looking for a new guinea pig."

Nodding, #57 sent a message over the bases' wirless network. "Would numbers 3 through 7 and 22 through 26 please report to the hangar bay. You have work." Turning her attention back to the matter at hand, she asked "Will there be anything else, Doctor?"

He thought for a moment, then opened a draw on his desk and removed a maid oufit. He handed it to her. "Yes. Please deliver this to Lunamaria, will you? I'm growing tired of the catgirl costume." His gaze flickered back to his desk for a moment, the tax forms completely forgotten. "Now leave me. I have SCIENCE to see to."

"As you wish, Doctor. I will ask the mission crew to contact you when they've succeeded." As she turned and left, #57 rolled her eyes. Everyone on base knew what the Doctor kept in his desk, even if he didn't know they knew.



Cadmus blearily cracked an eye open as the sound of multiple footsteps reached his ears. "Wonderful. More thieves, no doubt.". With a languid stretch, he rose from his position on the floor and watched with disinterest as small group of near identical humans wandered into his cave. Their outfits were strange to him, nothing like the armour his last few visitors had worn, but then, how long had it been since anyone dared to approach him like this?

He snorted, and addressed the crowd of apparently awestruck would-be thieves. "State your business. Now."

Aile-bot #24, affectionately referred to as "Cosplay Ranger Black", stepped forward. "We are here for your treasure. And you. Please, surrender quietly and I promise we will not harm you."

Cadmus actually snarled at that. How dare these arrogant creatures demand things from him? Forcing himself to maintain his composure, one of his forelegs snaked out and came to rest on a large rock just in front of him. "I see. I am sorry to disappoint you, little one, but no one orders me around." With that, he flicked the rock towards the black-clad human, fully expecting it to smear her across the wall behind them. What he didn't expect was for the little black insect to dodge by slowly leaning backwards, arms pinwheeling dramatically. Was it just him, or had time actually slowed down for a moment?

#24 resumed her previous casual stance. "You leave us no choice. #26-" The pink clad member of the team perked up "-go and inform our comrades that we should be done shortly. And start unloading the wheelbarrows and shovels."

Cadmus roared in fury as one of the humans ran off back towards the entrance. The battle was on.



#23, Blue, laughed at how slow this dragon was. How on earth did they get such a fearsome reputation? Nimbly dodging another swipe of those massive claws, she ran a gloved hand through her hair and decided to mock him by jogging on the spot for a few seconds, her red sneakers scuffing against the bare stone of the cave floor. "C'mon, step it up! You'll never hit me if you move THAT slow!"

Taking advantage of the distraction, #22, Red, unleashed a volley from her twin guns before dashing in with the massive broadsword strapped to her back. Unfortunately, the gunfire had only served to infuriate the massive beast, and she caught a tailswipe that sent her tumbling across the cavern floor. Sliding to a stop next to #25, Yellow, she picked herself up and grinned. "Wow, this is one hell of a crazy party. You almost finished there, Yellow?"

#25 opened her eyes, sparks dancing between her fingers as she flexed them experimentally. "I think so. It took me a while to build up enough juice, but this should be enough to take that thing down. Mind getting his attention again?"

#22 laughed. "Sure, no problem. HEY SCALEFACE!". The dragon roared and swatted Blue and Black aside, advancing on the red-clad Copy-bot with murder in its' eyes. "Ready, Yellow?" A nod. "Okay then. 3....2....1....TAZE HIM, BRO!".

#25 responded to that with a withering glare, but did as asked. With a half-hearted mumble of "Pika...", a series of large cables sprang from her back and wrapped themselves around the dragon's forelegs before approximately 700,000 volts of pure electricity lanced through them. The cavern was briefly lit up as the dragon gave a final rage-filled howl of defiance, and then it collapsed, eyes rolled back into its' head.

#24 examined the beast briefly, nodding in satisfaction just as #26 returned with an armful of shovels, four other Copy-Bots behind her pushing large wheelbarrows. "Good. You're here. The dragon has been neutralised. Now, on to the treasure chamber. Remember, we are to leave nothing behind."



The comm on DrWilyII's desk beeped, and he tore his attention away from the catalogue he'd been browsing. Pushing the "Receive" button, he was pleased when #24's voice responded.

"Doctor, the mission is a success. The dragon has been safely neutralised and we have located the treasure chamber. I must ask though, are you certain you want us to take everything here?"

He failed to keep the irritation out of his voice. "#24, when I give you an order, I expect you to follow it! Now do as I told you and bring EVERYTHING in that room back with you!"

"Understood." #24 cut the connection and turned back to her colleagues, her professional demeanour cracking slightly. "Yep, that's what he wants."

The others all stood with incredulous looks on their faces, before #22 spoke up. "Oof, we've been given crappy jobs before, but this is just ridiculous. Y'know, why are we always the ones that have to do this? Why doesn't the old man ask-" She was cut off by a sharp glare from #24.

"You KNOW the Doctor has his favourite. Now stop asking pointless questions and grab a shovel. We have a job to do." #24 sighed. Sometimes she thought she wasn't getting paid enough for this. Or at all, really.



#57 re-entered the Doctor's office, holding a bundle under her arm. "The team you sent has returned and their....spoils....have been deposited into Test Chamber 3 as you requested. I also brought your bathing suit and fitted a diving board like you told me." She handed him a red-and-white striped old-timey Victorian bathing suit.

DrWilyII grinned. "Thank you, now please leave while I get changed." As the door slid shut behind her, he clapped his hands together in excitement. He'd always wanted to be like Scrooge McDuck.

In the hallway, #57 was stopped by #24, who simply asked "Should we tell him?"

#57 paused, and floated a thought across the wireless network. At length, a mischievous smile crept across the face of every Aile-bot in the base. Finally, a chance to get a little payback for the [parasitic bomb] the Doctor kept putting them through.



Lunamaria was still struggling to tie the apron on her godforsaken maid outfit, when a muffled-and distinctly MALE- scream of horror filtered through the airvents. She stopped. "Huh. Wonder what that was all about?[/spoiler]

As I've mentioned before, I'm more than happy to take requests for one-shots.

Oh, that reminds me. Sakura, do you have a bio for Fugo that I can look at? I'm working on Miyuki right now and I don't want anyone to think I'm cribbing too hard off him  ;)
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on February 23, 2016, 07:21:04 PM
Not reaally since he's actually not my character, he belongs to borockman.

What I do know about him is that he's the heir to Santa Claus, who's  an uptight, ridgid, and judgemental [dark hold] in this universe, but betrayed him when he fell in love with Niu when he was supposed to stop her becoming the second Christmas Ninja instead.  He has everything Niu has except the twin peppermint daggers so he relies more on his Ice Sword for close range combat, the sword, shuriken and needles are made of unbreakable ice from Santa's workshop.

Even then borockman didn't really develop him that much, he even forgot his name when I asked about him.  I tried to portray him as a somewhat stoic man who cares about justice but can be deadpan, sarcastic and snarky due to a sort of having developed a sort of weirdness censor that most develop when residing in RPM, and the fact that he breaks windows in order to deliever Christmas presents.  He also tries to keep his crush on Niu hidden, to little success to everyone except Niu who is totally oblivious to it because of her genkiness and slight greediness which I added to her character before her profile was made.

I also mentioned he has done some minor bounty hunting to relieve boredom, but he doesn't take jobs requiring him to kill his target.  Also as far as I know he has no magic.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 24, 2016, 10:05:47 AM
The best part of all of this is that, aside from Luna, no-one in the group even knows who Doc is (unless we're counting the currently unfinished Wilypocalypse as canon right now). Typhon has no memories due to never being activated until Mika stumbled across him, Cadmus and Shu-Fang were approached by the Cosplay Rangers (who never revealed who they were working for), and Xhai and Siraj only knew the researchers who worked on them. That the projects were backed by Doc means nothing because he never had an direct input on them, he stopped caring about Xhai as a person as soon as the project was reported a success, anyway.

Miyuki's aware that he *attempted* to hire her via proxy (the targets were Luna, and the three escapees from the facility. I have no idea if Doc even knows that Typhon's loose at this point), but has never actually met him. Luna knows more about him than anyone else in the group, but is physically unable to communicate any of what she knows to anyone that's not actively associated with him thanks to her programming. I guess Alastor would technically count, but seeing as he's pretty much braindead and hasn't been woken from hibernation since being forcibly placed there, it's highly doubtful he'd have anything to contribute.

If anything, the group as a whole could be classed more as "Accidental Heroes" than active ones. Anything they've done to screw Doc over, as individuals or otherwise, is pretty much just coincidence. Likewise, I don't know if Doc is intentionally targeting everyone (or how he even found out about some of them), or just the ones he has/had an active interest in.

.....

Y'know what? Im'ma expand my oneshot intake to include character-driven Q&A sessions. Ask a question, either to a specific character, or the group as a whole, and I'll do my best to provide an in-character response for you. There might be some stuff I can't reveal yet, but I'll certainly do my best. This will include Galen and Shani, even though I haven't officially introduced them, yet.

Whether you wanna pose questions here or via PM is up to you. I just figured that since the RPs are ticking over (and I don't wanna have more than one or two characters active in either of them at any given time), this might be a good way of helping everyone get a better understanding of my characters and their personalities.  8)

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 25, 2016, 09:17:37 AM
So that head case is impossible to fix?

Not impossible, but difficult. The Maverick Hunters didn't consider it a priority as Galen wasn't a combat model, and he's still *mostly* functioning as he should.

Since he came to Websitia, though, it may as well be impossible for now. The only other Reploid (that I know of) currently on-planet is Alastor, and while Mika was able to dredge a little information from his mind, she doesn't know enough about how Reploids are built to attempt something as complicated as open-head surgery on one.

DrWilyII would probably be able to fix it, since he managed to reprogram Alastor, but since he's....well, Doc, approaching him about it probably isn't a good idea. I suppose the only way for it to be resolved would be if Galen were to teach Mika everything she needed to know to perform the op, but he's actually gotten used to it after so long (and, though he won't admit it, he's using it as an excuse to stay off the front-lines.)

Ooh yeah if it's open head surgery Sakura would probably not be able to fix that as of right now.  She's built 2 robots and is in charge of the maintenance of Zeta who may be reploid class, especially since she breaks the 1st Law of Robotics quite a few times,  since her creator is unknown.  Borock-bot may be Reploid class but Zeta is definitely more advance than him, however she's been working on her before she created Borock-bot and the other guy. They just refer to each other as robots anyway.  I honestly haven't thought too much about who created Zeta really.

True, he isn't exactly known for testing things so thoroughly.  Or lawfully, I'm thinking that [tornado fang]ing with Dragons would probably be illegal on Websitia.  I'm thinking Dragons would probably be an endangered species.

Never mind Dragons, [tornado fang]ing with Cadmus is an easy way to put yourself on the endangered species list.

As it stands right now, the only reason Doc's still with us is that Cadmus doesn't know he was behind everything that happened to him. The Aile-bot Cosplay Rangers should be watching their backs, at any rate.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread

Indeed.

Also it seems I misspoke about Treasure Hoards being made of [parasitic bomb] as being a common thing, it seems to only be occasional thing.  I think we can justify that as there is a real treasure hoard but the [parasitic bomb] hoard is a decoy.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 25, 2016, 08:46:23 PM
Y'know, that actually fits in perfectly with my original idea for Cadmus.

I've tried to give everyone a role on board the Halcyon. Since running an airship is expensive (not to mention Xhai's medical bills, and Typhon's ammo expenditure), Cadmus allows the crew (specifically Aaru) to select one item from his hoard every month, and sell it to cover the maintenance costs and other such things.

I can post the list I drew up, if you're interested.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 25, 2016, 09:18:55 PM
Okay. Technically, it's two lists, so I separated them out to make things easier to understand.

[spoiler]Crew Jobs

Xhai - Unofficial captain, general odd-jobs. (Cleaning and laundry, mostly, since he doesn't have many other practical skills.)
Aaru - Cooking, balancing the books. (Her love of shinies makes her a natural for this.)
Leo - Doesn't officially have one, will keep the helmsman company at night. (Can't interact with anything.)
Bell - Doesn't have one. (Her narcolepsy is something of a hindrance.)
Mika - Officially the captain, mechanic/tech wiz.
Minty - Helmsman, Mika's assistant/gofer.
Saden - Mapping the unexplored sections of the ship.
Typhon - Has command of the ship's weapons. (He refused to take any job that would involve him not being allowed to blow things up. Mika then managed to patch him into the ship's weapons subsystems, meaning he literally has direct command of them.)
Alastor - N/A
Shu-Fang - Mapping the unexplored parts of the ship, keeps morale up. (She works shifts with Saden, working nights while Saden explores during the day.)
Siraj - Odd jobs (similar to Xhai)
Cadmus - Is technically funding the thing. He lead the crew to his real treasure hoard sometime after joining them, and they moved the whole thing into the storage rooms he now lives in. Every month, he lets Aaru select one item to be sold in order to cover the ship's running costs.
Shani - Xhai's stalker/bodyguard, odd jobs.
Miyuki - Cooking
Galen - Ship's doctor, helmsman.
Renny - Odd jobs.

I know, right? He gets away with it, though. Would you wanna tell a near 8-foot tall mass of rage and scales that he needs to shape up and get a job?

So, Im'ma go into a little bit of not-quite spoilers here. Don't wanna get too long winded, so I'll try and keep things brief.

- Shani's backstory ties into Xhai's. The idea I had was that, as Xhai was originally found in a temple in the Dry Dry Desert, I was gonna introduce another two temples into the backstory and aim for an Ancient Egypt themed lore for it all.
- Each temple would be dedicated to a particular animal, one each for air, land and water. The retconning to Xhai's backstory would see him be a part of the now-destroyed Temple of the Falcon prior to being cyberized. Shani would belong to one of the other two, but having done some research I'm not sure I wanna stick with my original idea of having her be half-scorpion.
- Shani's "gimmick" as a character is basically that she's half-human, half-whatever-animal-her-temple-worships. As it stands, the animals I'm now considering (since scorpions on the whole aren't as important as some others) are: Lion, Frog, Crocodile, Cobra, Water-Snake, Turtle and Jackal/Wolf. While Lion would make her more Sphinx-like, I'm also aware that nagas/lamias are kinda cliche. So now I'm dithering.
- The third temple is unimportant to the backstory and really only there to pad out the lore a little.

I'll drop this (http://www.thekeep.org/~kunoichi/kunoichi/themestream/egypt_animalgods.html) here as it's what I've been reading while I debate this. If you don't mind, I'd like to hear the thoughts of other people on what would make for an interesting character. I already have her personality, weapons, and general profile down, I just need the animal base in order to put the finishing touches to her bio. What this means is I'll probably give it a couple days so anyone who cares can post an opinion, and post the finished bio sometime on Sunday.

Apologies for this, I get way too into crap like this.  X(

What are her weapons?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 25, 2016, 10:10:43 PM
Initially, a bow-and-arrow (later changed to a custom-built Sniper Rifle. I have the backstory and reasoning all planned out already), plus whatever extra limbs/natural aids her half-animal form would give (so in the case of the scorpion idea it'd be pincers and a venomous stinger tail). Her personality would be shaped by the animal in question, too. (Again with the scorpion, it would be insane reflexes and a love of eating weird crap like insects.)

I say Lion then, Sekhmet in particular has seven forms known as the Seven Arrows which could probably still translate to the Sniper Rifle.  Though Sekhmet was kind of given a nod with Zeta's Orbital frame so make that of what you will.

But I'll keep looking to see if I find anything else notable.

I see. Funny thing, though. I envisioned her rifle having a revolving multi-barrel (think the Vladof Sniper Rifles in Borderlands 2), with each barrel designed to fire a different kind of slug. The "Seven Arrows" thing could work, since I'm not directly referencing the original deities (ie. The Temple of the Falcon was simply worshipping a Falcon deity, not Horus.)

Thank you for the input though, it's nice to have people help me with stuff like this. I try asking the people I know at work and what-have-you, and I'd just get blank stares and "What the hell are you talking about" responses. So, really, thank you for the help.  8)

I think Doc'll probably want to chip in at some point. Might get other people offering opinions if they check this thread, but I'm giving myself 'til Sunday to make a decision anyway.

Actually I take that back, Baboon or Wolf/Jackle would be better, together with the Falcon and a Human they make the Sons of Horus.

Not sure about Baboon (for some reason I've never been a particularly big fan of apes), but the Wolf/Jackal idea has merit. I'd wanted the third temple to have a water-themed deity, but I guess the Human would be an acceptable substitute. Honestly not sure what the main religion of Planet RPM is (Vixyism? The Church of the Angry Sheep?), but the "Sons of Horus" thing is a good idea.

Thanks! Would you wanna be credited when I finish the bio up? I mean, Im'ma still wait to see if anyone else can offer ideas, but....  8)

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 26, 2016, 11:10:56 AM
Proof, if any were needed, that I take this crap way too goddamn seriously. I hit the SuperPower Wiki, found the page on Egyptian Deities (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Egyptian_Deity_Physiology), and started taking notes about potential powers and abilities that each form would offer.

Note: If any of them seem OP, don't worry, I've already worked out ways of balancing Shani to make things less-than-perfect.

[spoiler]Common to all forms:
- Too young to be at the peak of her powers.

Lion/Sekhmet

- Enhanced agility, flexibility, balance, strength, speed, senses, etc, Night vision.
- Powers: Enhanced Archery, Desert Manipulation, Healing
- Downsides: Occasionally slips into a feral-minded rage. (Too similar to Saden and Alastor?)

Jackal/Anubis

- Physically: Enhanced speed, poison resistance, fur.
- Powers: Sense of Guardianship. Increased weapon/Magic proficiency, Enhanced Charisma (able to form binding ties with allies), Fear masking (cannot feel fear), Supernatural Condition (enhanced abilities in all areas), Pure Heart, Strong Soul, Necromancy, Truth Inducement, Dark Arts.
- Downsides: Use of necromancy would cause problems with some of the group, inability to feel fear is a hindance in combat.

Frog/Heqet

- Powers: Life-force manipulation: Aura-reading, healing (physical and spiritual), regenerative healing.
- Physically: Enhanced jumping ability, prehensile tongue, speed swimming, limited wall crawling.
- Downsides: Considered creepy by some of the group, not too effective in dry places/needs to stay hydrated, love of eating weird crap like flies and other insects.

Falcon/Horus (This one's for Xhai, but I'm dumping it here anyway),

- Powers: Air Manipulation, Enhanced Charisma, Enhanced Combat.
- Physically: Enhanced agility, balance, reflexes, vision and lung capacity.
- Downsides: Hollow skeleton. Cybernetics cushion this somewhat, but he'd be physically frailer than before.

Crocodile/Sobek

- Powers: Water/Lake/River Manipulation, Fear Inducement, Enhanced Strength
- Physically: Dermal Armour, Enhanced Durability, Enhanced Lung Capacity, Speed Swimming.
- Downsides: Aggressive, can be ungainly on land.

Baboon/Thoth

- Powers: Magic, Supreme Voice (can essentially bend reality just by speaking).
- Physically: Climbing, Enhanced aglility, dexterity and strength.
- Downsides: Personally not a fan of apes, already have too many "agile" characters (Aaru, Miyuki, Xhai on a good day.) Supreme Voice might be broken even if nerfed.

Snake/Apep

- Powers: Hypnosis, Venomous Fangs/Poison Generation, Chaos Manipulation (essentially a walking embodiment of Murphy's Law, at the most basic level)
- Physically: Skin-shedding, Seismic Sense, Enhanced sense of Smell, Enhanced Flexibility, Elastic Jaws, Matter Ingestion.
- Downsides: Nagas/Lamias are cliche. The fact that she can eat people alive might be a bit too horrifying, has little control over her Chaos powers.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Honestly, with everything I found out today, I'm kinda leaning towards making her half-frog. I am considering snake as well, if only for the "Oh God she just ATE Marvin!" factor, but I think that might be a little too dark?[/spoiler]
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Dr. Wily II on February 26, 2016, 01:47:43 PM
[spoiler]I like dark. 8D

But given Saden is also ingesting humans, just in a different way, I think we should halt at one, haha.

To be honest, I'm still leaning towards croc. Becos croc. :B[/spoiler]
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 26, 2016, 10:05:19 PM
My one concern with Croc is that she might end up looking a little too similar to Cadmus (in the sense that they'd both be scaly, heavily-built humanoids). That, and I had a load of idle time since it was a slow day at work today. My daydreaming produced all sorts of interesting stuff based on a half-frog character.

I had a great idea today, and it's not one I think I wanna just allude to. Most of this is stuff I'd already planned, but something came to me while I was pondering the research I'd done this morning. The idea/important bits will be bolded.

- The people living in each temple are split into three groups:
#1: Virtues, these are the everyday people that act as caretakers and scholars.
#2: Visions. These are the temple priests, and before they officially adopt the role, they spend a year travelling the world to gain knowledge of current events and technology, and return to tell tales of their exploits before they take their places in the temple proper.
And finally, #3: Aspects. Chosen from the Virtues, these people undergo a ritual that mentally links them with the temple's deity. A side-effect of this is that their body undergoes a transformation that leads them to resemble the deity. The severity of this varies from person to person (some retain their human forms entirely, some change completely into an animal) and seems to have no set pattern. The Aspects serve as the temple guardians/warriors, defending their homes from invasion or attack.
- The first temple is the Temple of the Falcon/Horus. This is the one Xhai originally belonged to. The priests/people here were extremely combat oriented, and acted as guardians for the other temples.
- The second temple is the Temple of the Frog/Heqet. This is the one Shani belongs to. The priests/people here specialised in healing and light-based magics.
- The third temple is the Temple of the Jackal/Anubis. The priests/people that here were well versed in the dark arts, and infamous for their knowledge of necromancy. The temple was presumed destroyed by some unknown entity almost 2000 years ago.
- Where else have we seen necromancy in my world lore?

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on February 27, 2016, 10:56:55 AM
[spoiler]Yup. Best part is, I never actually intended that to be the case. It was only when I was doing the research for Shani's backstory that I remembered Anubis was the Lord of the Dead, and a necromancer.

It was a pretty much a "fridge realization" moment. Once I figured everything out, I couldn't NOT weld those two parts of the story together, y'know? Aspect from the Jackal temple goes nuts, destroys the place, marches across the world with an army of zombies and ends up getting killed by Leo. It all fits  8)[/spoiler]

On a less spoiler-y note, doing the research to make sure I'm getting Shani's abilities mostly accurate is making me feel like I'm back in Year 11 Biology lessons again.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 01, 2016, 02:13:26 PM
So I've been brainstorming ideas for where my characters' stories could go, and I realised. I have too many characters. With that in mind, I looked more at "WHAM episode" style events that could reshape the plot and makes things easier to manage.

Here's the abbreviated version of what I came up with. Depending on how this is received, I might retcon my characters out of any RPs they're currently involved in, and wait for a better moment to introduce the "time-skip" versions of them instead.

Warning: Some of this is pretty dark.

[spoiler]The Basics

- DrWilyII learns the location and identities of the Halcyon's crew, and decides to stop goofing around and get the problem dealt with. He throws practically everything he has at the ship.
- Result: The Halcyon is destroyed, and the wreck crashes somewhere in the desert.

Xhai

- Severely injured during the battle, and left mentally broken by the events. Shani drags him back to the Temple of the Frog, and he's effectively mind-raped into remembering his past as an Aspect of the Falcon.
- The act of getting his memories back causes his body to try and revert to its' previous state, but the fact that he's more mech than man prevents this from happening. The end result is that his body forcibly expels all the cybernetic enhancements he was given, and then attempts to restore itself again. His physical form remains human, but he loses all of his sun-based powers.
- Instead, he regains all of the non-physical powers his Aspect form possessed, and gains the ability to manipulate the air (http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Air_Manipulation) around him.
- When he awakens from this, his personality has shifted. He's quieter and more aggressive than before.

Aaru

- Injured during the battle, and disappears along with Miyuki following the ship crash.
- Fate after that is unknown.

Leocadia

- Sword is shattered by Boforte during the attack, and she loses the ability to manifest. Taken to the Temple of the Frog along with Saden, and the curse on her is lifted when she's taken to the oasis at the heart of the temple. Instead of moving on, however, she opts to remain bound to the gemstone attached to her sword, not willing to let DrWilyII's actions go unavenged.
- Is eventually bonded to Saden when the gemstone attached to her sword is used to replace Saden's cursed heart.

Bell

- Attacked by Typhon during the battle. MIA in the aftermath.

Mika & Minty

- Both attacked when the containment seals on Alastor's pod are broken during the fight, and he goes berserk again. MIA in the aftermath.

Saden

- Her gemstone heart is destroyed by Boforte during the battle, and she becomes unable to contribute, with her armour being the only thing holding her together.
- Taken to the Temple of the Frog, and is immersed in the oasis at the heart of the Temple once she's identified as a cursed being. Her wounds heal, and her curse is lifted, returning her to a pre-death state. As her original heart was destroyed prior to her being resurrected, she almost dies again, only being saved when the gem from Leo's sword is used as a substitute.
- As a result of this, she now shares a body with Leo's spirit, and wields both Leo's sword (repaired by the Temple Priests), and a new Zweihander similar to the one she wielded as a knight.

Typhon

- DrWilyII remotely activates a failsafe during the attack, wiping Typhon's memories and forcibly reverting him to his original state. Now completely loyal to DrWilyII, he attacks Bell and assists in destroying the Halcyon, returning to DrWilyII's fortress afterwards.
- Following Galen's capture, he's upgraded into a smaller (but no less destructive) Vile/VAVA-inspired body.

Alastor

- His pod is damaged during the attack, and he goes berserk again, attacking Minty and Mika and seriously wounding Siraj. He's only stopped when he's forcibly taken over by a mysterious entity that was hiding in Siraj's cybernetics.
- Accompanies Shani and Xhai to the Temple of the Frog, now sporting a new personality that's a composite of his original, DrWilyII's brainwashed personality, and the now-dominant Robo-Ky's. His motives are unclear, but he's vocal about his desire to avenge everything that's happened to him.
- Eventually tinkers with his coding and hardware to alter his skillset, losing the knife and rifle in favour of control over electricity, just like his "original" body.

Shu-Fang

- Disappears during the battle, final fate is unknown.

Siraj

- Seriously wounded by Alastor, it's revealed that his cybernetics were actually salvaged from whatever was left of Robo-Ky Mk. III following his failed attempt at rebellion in years prior. Unbeknownst to everyone, Ky's personality was still embedded into the heart of these, and escapes by uploading itself into the nearest available receptacle: Alastor.
- Ky's personality merges with the lingering remnants of Alastor's two minds, and forms a new composite "Ky-lastor" personality.
- MIA following the crash.

Cadmus

- Strikes a deal with Boforte during the battle. In exchange for having his restraining collar destroyed, he'll return to his cave and remove himself from society once again.
- Disappears after regaining his true form, and is not seen again.

Shani

- Survives the battle, and takes a badly injured Xhai, along with Saden, Leo and Ky/Alastor, to the Temple of the Frog.
- Following Xhai's reawakening as an Aspect of the Falcon, she requests to remain with him from then on, and is granted permission to travel with him for as long as she likes.

Miyuki

- Survives the battle, but disappears with along with Aaru following the crash. Final fate is unknown.

Galen

- Knocked out by Luna during the battle, his body is recovered and taken back to DrWilyII's fortress for study, eventually leading to Typhon getting a new body. Eventual fate following this is unknown.

Renny

- Knocked overboard during the battle. Final fate is unknown.

Luna

- Similar to Typhon, is mind-wiped and rebooted. Once again loyal to DrWilyII, she subdues and captures Galen, returning to DW2's fortress in the Zak-2.[/spoiler]

TL;DR version

[spoiler]- Halcyon's destroyed, a good 2/3rds of the group are missing, and the active group now consists of Shani, Saden/Leo, "Ky-lastor" (new name pending), and a repowered Xhai.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Well, well, well... That will show you all! >BD

Ahem, I really did like Shu-Fang, hopefully she returns somewhere down the line.

Actually surprised that boforte managed to do something right... Actually... No, he can't. XD
For Cadmus' part, how about having Buns (my evil Roll expy) be the one to convince him? boforte is too... Hot-blooded to convince Cadmus. XD

And this really means I need to sprite up Typhon (old and new) and Luna (+ Zak-2... Somehow... XD).

Lastly... I think I'll be pwned... REALLY HARD... When the RP ends... XD[/spoiler]

Jeez that's a little morbid.....
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 01, 2016, 03:31:26 PM
Jeez that's a little morbid.....

I know, but I needed to reduce the numbers a little, and simply saying "Oh, they go off to do other stuff", seemed like kind of a cop-out. Most of what happened was foreshadowed, in a way. Bell's bio stressed that she had no concept of surrender, and Alastor's made a point of saying he was a danger to everyone, not just his enemies.

With Xhai, the recent updates I made to his bio state that he has severe abandonment issues and he logically wouldn't be able to deal with everything that happened in a rational manner. His newer attitude basically stems from "I tried playing the carefree nice-guy, and all it did was get my friends killed." He's still gonna be Xhai, he's definitely less inclined to trust people going forward.

The whole "Ky-lastor" thing came to me when I realized that Siraj's cybernetics were the same colour as whatever it was Robo-Ky was made of. I followed that train of thought, and figured Doc wouldn't be the type of person to waste resources, and Ky wouldn't be dumb enough to attempt a rebellion without some sort of a back-up plan, hence the reveal.

As far as the "Unknown" characters go, I deliberately left Aaru and Miyuki's fates open-ended so I can reintroduce them somewhere a bit further down the line. You have to think something like an airship crash wouldn't be enough to kill a ninja of Miyuki's skill, and since Aaru disappeared with her....

 Renny and Shu are both practically indestructible, so chances are they're still out there somewhere.

Typhon, Luna and Galen....I guess that's up to Doc. I'm not saying they won't eventually remember their time with Xhai and Co, but it's not looking likely right now. As Doc himself pointed out to me in a PM, he's conquered/destroyed RPM in alternate realities, so he's definitely a bigger threat than he normally comes across as.

So, yeah....it's morbid, and I still intend to keep the "dead" characters around in the expanded universe, but as far as "current" plots go....having fewer characters is easier to deal with for everyone, I think.  :\

Actually surprised that boforte managed to do something right... Actually... No, he can't. XD
For Cadmus' part, how about having Buns (my evil Roll expy) be the one to convince him?

Deal. Cadmus is gone regardless, but this makes more sense. Bad guys win sometimes, and this was a pretty convincing victory.

Lastly... I think I'll be pwned... REALLY HARD...When the RP ends.

May not actually happen in any of the current RPs (which reminds me, I need to retcon my characters out of those, and consider whether I want to try and rejoin later on...), but....maybe. You've got a severely pissed-off Demi-Falcon, and a kinda-resurrected Robo-Ky both gunning for you. Better make sure Typhon and Luna never get their memories back, either.  :P

Right...got some new bios to get sorted, so....

True, but don't forget he's a composite of Ky and both of Alastor's personalities. The original Al wants you dead for brainwashing him, and the personality YOU created wants you dead for abandoning him. Ky's motivations are simply him trying to finish what he failed to do previously, for the most part.

There. No deaths confirmed. Anyone not part of the new main group is either back with Doc (Typhon, Luna and Galen) or simply MIA. (Everyone else.)

That way, I can write 'em back in whenever I feel the time is right. That feels like a better resolution.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 01, 2016, 10:05:22 PM
And here we are, a complete list of all character changes following the "time-skip". Haven't decided what sort of time-scale I'm looking at for it, but if any of them ever show up in an RP again, this'll be how they are.

Also, Doc, if you're NOT interested, just let me know and I can work something out for the relevant characters.

[spoiler]Xhai

- Is now back in his Demi-Falcon form.
- Physical Changes: Enhanced balance, reflexes, eyesight and lung capacity. No obvious physical changes besides his eyes and feathers (on the back of his head, mixed in with his hair).
- Powers: Air Manipulation: Can manipulate wind to deflect/reflect blows and projectiles, insulate himself from electrical attacks (makes him the perfect combat partner for Kai), deoxygenate or vacuumize the air around him and induce rust by oxidizing the air. His aging is also effectively halted due to his new status, and he has a minor healing factor.
- Weapons: No longer has access to his scythe, so fights by creating blades of solid wind around his hands.
- Weaknesses: No longer has access to any of his solar-based powers, his bones were hollowed by his Demi-Falcon transformation, so he's a lot more susceptible to damage, still technically doesn't have any ranged options. Healing factor isn't enough to be much of a help in combat.
- Personality: Less trusting, fighting style has changed from "be flashy and extravagant" to "go straight for the throat", more serious, but softens to his old self around his allies. Has no intention of dying before he sees DW2's head on a pike.

Aaru

- Taken back to Miyuki's home to recover, received ninja training afterwards.
- Physical Changes: Older, hair's longer, still wears her scarf, wears a hooded tunic and traditional ninja garb, still in earthy colours.
- New Abilities: Skilled in Shinobi-iri (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinobi-iri) (stealth and entering), Intonjutsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intonjutsu) (escaping and concealment), Hensojutsu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hensojutsu) (disguise and impersonation) and basic ninpo that allow her to manipulate plants: Camoflage, rudimentary Seismic Sensing and Matter Surfing.
- Weapons: Swapped her rope-dart and yo-yos for a kunai and kusarigama.
- Weaknesses: Still can't talk, physical strength is improved but still limited, can't use ninpo if her hands are tied up, still fairly frail.
Personality: Less focused on shinies, takes a more serious approach to combat and no longer has a problem inflicting serious injuries/death on her enemies.

Leocadia

- Bonded to Saden via the gemstone from her sword.
- Physical changes: None.
- New Abilities: Can assume control of Saden's body during the day, manifests as usual at night, and her sword was reforged to be smaller and lighter than before.
- Weapons: Reforged sword: Changed from hand-and-a-half/broadsword to a smaller Knightly/Arming Sword (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Albion_SaintMaurice_XIII_horizontal.jpg).
- Weaknesses: As she's tied to the gemstone serving as Saden's heart, she's more susceptible to damage than previously, has no ranged options, can't stray more than a set distance from Saden. If Saden dies, she dies.
- Personality: Mostly unchanged, but now has a seething hatred of anything associated with DrWilyII.

Bell

- Survived both being attacked by Typhon and being knocked overboard as a result. Woke up in Shu-Fang's mountain village, having been rescued by the villagers. Almost attacked them in a blind rage and eventually underwent training to control her impulses.
- Physical changes: Severe burns to most of her body, now has shorter hair than before.
- New abilities: Thanks to her training, was able to calm herself, mostly. Also studied the human anatomy in detail for the first time and has a working knowledge of pressure points and structural weaknesses common to most humanoid foes.
- Weapons: Still has her boots (weight increased by another 75lbs on each), added a bladed elbow pad.
- Weaknesses: Still a narcoleptic. Even with her new skills, she's still short on ranged options, and her burns cause her frequent discomfort. Still missing an arm.
- Personality: Calmer and far more willing to work as part of a team, and the meditation techniques she's picked up help with both anger management and her sleep problems, to the point where she's merely soft-spoken as opposed to tiredly mumbling everything. She still spends most of her time sleeping though.

Mika

- Survived the airship crash, but lost the use of her left hand due to injury. It's still attached, but paralyzed on its' own.
- Physical changes: Older, hair has grown out to reveal it's natural colour (silver).
- New Abilities: Surviving in the wild for such a length of time has toughened her up. Eventually discovered another abandoned/destroyed Skull Fortress and was able to patch together some odds and ends from the wreckage.
- Weapons: Specially constructed gauntlet over her left hand. Essentially acts as an exoskeleton that lets her move her hand as though it weren't injured. Has a fairly powerful taser concealed in the palm.
- Weaknesses: Physically tougher and stronger due to living rough for so long, but her overall condition has deteriorated due to malnourishment. Still has no actual combat experience.
- Personality: Less naive, but otherwise mostly the same.

Minty

- Damaged during the battle, patched up by Mika after she discovers the Skull Fortress. The only real change here is that xe is much more protective of Mika, to the point where xe'll kill if necessary.

Saden

- Lost her cursed-ruby heart during the battle, survived the crash but practically fell apart afterwards as she was no longer being held together by crystals. The curse on her was lifted after being healed at Shani's temple and she was restored to an actual living, breathing human. Almost died again due the lack of an actual heart following this, but was saved when Leo's "soulstone" was used as a replacement.
- Physical changes: Alive again. Her hair's still white, but no longer crystallized, and she's now just extremely pale as opposed to grey-skinned. Her eye is back to its' normal colour, but the one that had been turned to crystal is missing and covered by bandages. Her old armour fell apart while she was being healed, so she now wears a new, lighter set. Eye colour changes depending on whether Saden (brown) or Leo (blue) is the dominant personality.
- New Abilities: Well, she's alive again. She's faster on her feet than before, and shares a body with Leo, who acts as a second set of eyes and ears during battle, and a second blade if it's night.
- Weapons: Now carries two swords. Leo's (the shortsword), and a Flammenschwert/Flame-Bladed Sword (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1a/Dresden-Zwinger-Armoury-Sword.04.JPG/800px-Dresden-Zwinger-Armoury-Sword.04.JPG), which she wields herself.
- Weaknesses: Is no longer able to shrug off damage as she could when she was undead, and has lost her crystalline limbs, limiting her movement options. Her new armour isn't as thick as the old set, and if her heart is destroyed, Leo dies too.
- Personality: Happy that she's not a bloodthirsty zombie anymore, and is fine with having Leo's voice in her head compared to the necromancer's. Smiles more often, and acts as the voice of reason following the disaster and subsequent reshuffling of the core group.

Typhon

- Back under DrWilyII's control following the battle, and was upgraded into a smaller, Vile-esque Reploid body.
- Physical changes: Now resembles a black and red version of this (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/megaman/images/8/86/VAVAMk_IIX3.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20100613052250)
- New Abilities: Smaller, faster, more dakka.
- Weapons: Only has one shoulder-mounted flamethrower now, the other shoulder bearing a missile launcher. Mortar cannons have been replaced by knee-mounted grenade launchers, and his laser-swords have been replaced by wrist-mounted vulcan cannons.
- Weaknesses: More susceptible to damage due to his smaller size and comparatively lighter armour. Not as trigger-happy as before, but still has limited ammunition. Not as strong as he used to be, either.
- Personality: Completely loyal to DrWilyII, otherwise unchanged.

Alastor/Robo-Ky/Kai

- Broke out of his containment pod during the battle, and was forcibly overtaken by Robo-Ky, who had been hiding in Siraj's cybernetics.
- Physical changes: Externally, only his eye colour (Grey -> Yellow), internally, all sorts of minor changes that have turned him into a living (functioning?) dynamo.
- New Abilities: Electrical Generation. He can generate electrical forcefields and is essentially a walking taser. He also uses this to supercharge his new body's self-repair function, making anything short of limb removal or the destruction of his head ineffective at best.
- Weapons: Technically doesn't have any, though his electrically charged punches and abilities may count.
- Weaknesses: Still isn't used to his new body, ineffective at extremely long ranges due to his lack of ranged capabilities. He's also overconfident and rather immature. No longer has access to his knife or rifle.
- Personality: All of Ky's arrogance and ego, combined with the original Alastor's desire to protect his friends and the DW2 Alastor's snarkiness and lack of morals.

Shu-Fang

- Survived the battle, but lost her seal in the process. Otherwise unchanged aside from looking a little dishevelled due to the loss of her coffin, meaning she now has to bury herself during the day

Siraj

- Severely injured by Alastor during the battle, somehow survived the crash. Rebuilt and restored by a rather....eccentric...tech-head after being discovered near death.
- Physical changes: Greatcoat swapped for a leather jacket, now has a large, extremely visible speaker on his chest. Cybernetics are more modern-looking but still visible.
- New Abilities: Lost his scythe, and now wields a guitar hooked up to his core/heart through a port on his neck. Combine with the speaker, and he's effectively weaponized the Power Of Rock.
- Weapons: Does the guitar count? He's able to generate massive shockwaves while playing, while softer rhythms can lull enemies to sleep or induce a healing effect in his allies. He's also capable of causing headaches and other problems for enemies. The guitar itself is also made of a highly durable alloy, so it can be used as a melee weapon if necessary. As an extra, and frankly ridiculous, addition, the guitar case is slightly bulkier than the standard, as it houses both a machine-gun and a surface-to-air missile launcher.
- Weaknesses: Can't aim his new powers to any real degree, so collateral damage is pretty much a given when he's fighting, still lacks any kind of self-repair or healing factor. He can only carry a limited supply of ammo for his guitar-case, so has to place his shots well to maximise the efficiency of it.
- Personality: Surprisingly, a lot more animated than before. His voice box was fixed, and he loves his new powers. Still sees Xhai as brother.

Shani

- Survived the battle, and was responsible for getting Alastor and Saden to the Temple of the Frog for healing.
- Physical changes: Hair's a little longer, but otherwise unchanged. She's still regularly mistaken for a guy.
- New Abilities: Greater mastery of her healing and Aura-reading abilities, and she's now able to use the latter to subtly influence the emotions of those around her if she concentrates.
- Weapons: Modified her rifle to add another two barrels, and two new kinds of shells. Green-caps are filled with a poisonous fluid collected from some of the other Frog Aspects, and Pink-caps are filled with healing spells.
- Weaknesses: Same as before.
- Personality: Now has a seething hatred for DrWilyII. Still stalking Xhai. Otherwise unchanged.

Miyuki

- Survived the battle, and returned home with Aaru. Was Aaru's ninjutsu teacher following their recoveries.
- Physical changes: No longer wears her mask, revealing the reason why. An accident with a fireball jutsu during her initial training ended up blowing her lower jaw off, and she had to create a replacement from ice just as she has with her lower legs. Otherwise unchanged.
- New Abilities: Greater mastery of her Yuki-Onna powers. She can create larger weapons with her flash-freezing ability, and has finally mastered a series of basic fire ninpo, having overcome her pyrophobia while rescuing Aaru from the Halcyon.
- Weapons: Lost her katana during the battle, now creates any weapon she needs as the situation demands.
- Weaknesses: Same as before, minus the pyrophobia.
- Personality: Sees Aaru as something of a little sister, has put her assassin work on hold for the time being as well. Otherwise unchanged.

Galen

- Knocked out and captured by Luna during the battle.
- No changes to note, considering he's been inactive the entire time.

Renny

- Survived being knocked off the airship, and wandered aimlessly until she met up with Xhai again. She's a lot more focused on her training now (and a lot less clumsy), and is angry that her friends were attacked, but is otherwise unchanged.

Luna

- Back under DrWilyII's control following the battle.
- Physical changes: Pilot-Suit has been replaced with a specially-designed (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/4125UHS1jKL.jpg), upgraded version designed to augment her physical capabilities, eyes are now red instead of indigo.
- New Abilities: Physical capabilities are doubled from standard when wearing her new suit, Zak-2 has been equipped with a beam pistol, solving the issues it had when fighting at mid-range.
- Weapons: See above, otherwise unchanged.
- Weaknesses: Same as before.
- Personality: Completely loyal to DrWilyII, otherwise unchanged.[/spoiler]

Fair point.  XD I've updated his entry to include both of those ideas and a little extra, too.

Yeah, aheh, I was hesitant to do new appearances and powersets for those three, mostly because they're (technically?) under your control right now, and I didn't wanna write your character doing something so important (I've been....reminded....in the past that doing so isn't very polite.)

Take your time, though. I'm in no rush.  8)

Thanks for the extra help and putting up with all this, by the way.

Well, if you have my approval, I don't really have much of an issue writing on my behalf. Whatever you have posted with regards to me in back stories have been pretty entertaining, and pretty in touch with my character in times of true cunning/villainy. [eyebrow]

Like the time with a brainwashed PB on my side. That was immensely fun. 8D

I'll still think of something of course, might even allude into future sprite updates on my end (whenever I finally get the motivation to do so...). XD

at least I think that will keep my head attached to my neck, and shoulders. XD

I....don't remember that. Think I might not have been active on the forum when it happened.

Actually, I had another idea for how your conversation with Saden might go, but I decided breakfast was more important than the edit button.

DrWilyII - "Please spare me! I promise I'll be good from now on!"
Xhai - "No deal." *readies a killing blow*
Saden - "Wait! You can't kill him, it's not right!"
Xhai - "But if I DO, we solve like, 90% of the world's problems in one go."
Saden - *thinks for a second, shrugs* "Fair point. Go right ahead, then.*
DrWilyII -   O^O "Meep."

*EDIT BUTTON*

Looking through the list of timeskip changes I made, I felt like some characters got the short end of the stick, being pretty much indentical to their previous selves, or that their new powers didn't make much sense given their situations. So I made some changes. To save everyone the trouble of having to find the list again, Im'ma just copy-paste the relevant bits here.

[spoiler]Aaru

- Now wears colours similar to Miyuki's.
- Water-based ninpo: She can mess with opponents' vision by manipulating the water in and around their eyes, create orbs of water by gathering moisture from the air and, if she manages to make direct physical (ie. skin-on-skin) contact, cause massive internal damage to biological enemies by manipulating the water in their bodies. (This was originally plant-based, which, while logical given her affinity for forests, didn't make much sense given she being trained by a Yuki-Onna in a snowy mountain village.)

Leocadia

- As a result of being more naturally in-tune with her new host, and with help from the Frog Priests, she's managed to develop a stronger connection with her weapon, allowing her a small amount of telekinetic control over the blade.

Bell

- Also studied the human anatomy in detail for the first time and has a working knowledge of pressure points and structural weaknesses common to most humanoid foes.

Minty

- Lost xir swords during the battle.
- New Abilities: Gained from the various pieces of scrap Mika used to repair xir at the Skull Fortress: Buster cannons salvaged from Sniper Joes, Metall Alloy used to repair physical damage, increasing durability.
- Hologram projector is damaged, and can only display one form now.

Saden

- As Leo's soul in now effectively bound to her, she has access to the same form of weapon-exclusive telekinesis that Leo possesses, though her Flammenschwert is far more unwieldy when manipulated in such a fashion.

Shu-Fang

- New(?) Abilities: Loss of her seal increased her Jiang Shi powers slightly. Less flexible, but more durable in exchange, especially at night.

Siraj

- The guitar itself is also made of a highly durable alloy, so it can be used as a melee weapon if necessary. As an extra, and frankly ridiculous, addition, the guitar case is slightly bulkier than the standard, as it houses both a machine-gun and a surface-to-air missile launcher.
- Only has limited ammo for his guns, so has to be careful with his aim.

Miyuki

- She can create larger weapons with her flash-freezing ability, melt and reform herself to avoid heavier blows, and has finally gotten over her pyrophobia. She's even more effective when fighting alongside Aaru, whose water ninpo complements her own ice-based offense.

Renny

- New Abilities: Acknowledging her status as an empty suit of armour has made her more receptive to the inherent advantages of such a state. She has almost 360-degree vision (however it is she actually sees things), and is able to open most doors without having access to the keys/passwords needed. Heavily-fortified doors remain inaccessible to her, though. (Both of these are powers that Dullahans are said to possess, so I went with that.)[/spoiler]

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 04, 2016, 12:13:34 AM
Bit late posting this, I spent most of today attempting to sleep off a migraine.

Ky is so much fun to write.  XD

I've included visual references to each character's new outfits (or at least the closest thing to what I'm envisioning, anyway), just to give everyone a basic idea of what the gang looks like now. As a general rule, removing any ornamentation on the pictures presented is probably the best choice, as I'm not a fan of overly elaborate costumes. For Ky's, lose the mask, turn the blue to orange and the silver to a navy blue.

[spoiler]Outside the Temple of the Frog, approximately one year after the destruction of the Halcyon

Xhai threw an arm over his face as he stepped out into the early morning sunlight. He'd gotten used to his enhanced, Raptor-like eyesight a while ago, but his newfound sensitivity to bright lights was proving to be something of an irritation. The tails of his jacket (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dynastywarriors/images/0/02/Luxun-dw8.png/revision/latest?cb=20130404024813) rustled as a light breeze caught them, and after another moment's hesitation, he slowly lowered his arm and blinked the last of the sunspots from his eyes.

"Has it really only been a year? It feels like a lifetime since...."

He stared at his hand, still not quite able to wrap his head around the fact that his bones were hollow now. If he was being honest, it was this that bothered him the most out of everything that'd happened since Shani had dragged his practically comatose body out of the wreckage of the Halcyon and brought him back here. Since that day, so much had changed. He'd initially fallen into a deep depression once he'd been made to acknowledge the events of that day, and it was only when the high-ranking Visions at the Temple had all-but forced him to remember his old, pre-Xhai life that he'd made any progress on putting himself back together. He'd lost his cybernetics, and his scythe...and most of his friends, too. Physically, he was probably in the best shape of his life. While his body hadn't gone through the same drastic changes that it otherwise would've done, courtesy of his artificial body at the time, he was flesh-and-blood again. Whole. That he was faster and more agile than before was just a bonus, and his newfound -rediscovered, he had to remind himself- ability to manipulate the air around him had been a change he'd admit he'd not welcomed at first. He'd relished being able to charge into battle and simply swing away until it was over. But, that was then. He was more fragile now, and had to fight more with his head than his heart, using his powers, his gift from a long forgotten deity, to compensate for his lack of strength and durability.

"Honestly, I'd probably have never coped if Shani and the others hadn't been around to help me...."

He'd readily admit that it was the presence of his friends, those who he knew had survived anyway, that had kept him sane while he rediscovered himself. Saden and Leo had suffered just as big a system shock as he had when their curses had been lifted. Saden in particular had a great deal of trouble acclimatising herself to the fact that she was alive again. Things like remembering to eat, and sleep, and generally take care of herself, all things she'd forgotten or stopped caring about when she'd been resurrected as a zombie all those centuries ago. Leo, too, had changed. That her curse was lifted before her sword was restored meant she'd had the opportunity to pass on, to finally achieve the peace she'd more than earnt. That she'd chosen to stay, to bond herself to Saden despite knowing she'd never find rest until the day her comrade fell in battle, meant more to Xhai than he could put into words. He only hoped he was still capable of returning the loyalty she'd shown in choosing to remain at his side. His carefree, nonchalant attitude was long gone now, replaced by a burning rage that he'd had to work extremely hard to keep in check. Shani had been a godsend in helping with that, not just because of the calming aura she emitted simply by existing.

"Heh....I'd be lost without her...."

He'd had his doubts about her when they'd first met, when she'd snuck into his room and basically started stalking him. Since then, though, they'd spent pretty much every moment of every day together, and they'd become...close. There was no intimacy between them (even though they'd both privately consider taking that extra step), but all that time, both then and over the last year when she'd helped him get a grip on his new body and mindset, had definitely changed their dynamic. He felt more comfortable being himself around her, and she had reciprocated that, to the point where she'd even made a concerted effort to be friendlier to her other allies.

And Ky.....

Xhai shuddered. He tried not to think about Ky.

A series of awkwardly timed thudding sounds signalled the approach of his closest friend among the group. Shani's unique method of travel had gotten her some strange looks from the others, and he'd admit that he'd found it a little unsettling at first, but now it was just part of who she was, just a quirk. Like Saden's seeming inability to get angry, or Ky's inability to pass anything with breasts without trying to hit on it. He was interrupted from his musings by the back-to-back sounds of a wet slap and a muffled squeak. Opting not to turn around, he instead called over his shoulder "I might've gotten used to that, but it's still creepy as hell, y'know?"

Shani hopped past him and turned to meet his gaze, a sheepish grin on her face. "Sorry about that....I had to skip breakfast to make sure I had everything. And, well...." She stopped to wipe her mouth with the back of her sleeve. (http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/8/84/Homura_Kagari_(18).jpg/revision/latest?cb=20150402041024&path-prefix=protagonist)

Xhai held a hand up. "It's fine, really." He smiled. "You still have better table manners than some people I could mention." It was that point he spotted the travel bag hanging across her back, over her rifle. "So, how many bottles are you carrying?"

She tilted her head, mentally totting up the numbers. "20, I think. You know where we're headed, but I don't wanna risk drying out before we get there."

Xhai nodded. "Fair enough. Were the others far behind you?"

Before Shani could respond, another voice drifted down the entryway to reach their ears.

"....C'mon, babe. I'm wearing armour, you're wearing armour. We're practically made for each other!"

Saden strode past the the two, her expression unreadable. Catching herself before she went too far, she returned to them and pinched the bridge of her nose in one gauntleted (http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/dynastywarriors/images/b/ba/Zhaoyun-dw7.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121103010414) hand, a note of frustration creeping into her tone.

"I hate to ask this, but could either of you convince that idiot to stop flirting with me before Leo tries to kill him?"

Ky had already joined the group by this point, and his head ticked to the side at Saden's question, as though something had just occured to him. "Leo? Oh, that's right, there's two of you in there....Wait, would that technically make it a three-way?" He grinned, and turned to Shani. "You want in on this, too? I've always wondered what else you can do with your tongue."

Saden's hand twitched towards Leo's sword, sheathed at her side, and Shani responded with a flat look before meeting Xhai's bemused gaze. "Can I shoot him? Please?"

Xhai made a show of considering it, even as Ky's expression changed to one of mild panic. After a moment, he shook his head. "Sadly, I'm going to have to say no. He has his uses, though I'm damned if I know what they actually are."

Ky shot him a toothy grin and a thumbs up. "' 'Atta Bro! I knew you'd see things my way."

Xhai shrugged. "Never said that. Just said you're more useful alive right now." He took a deep breath to compose himself, Ky's antics having briefly distracted him from the matter at hand. "Right. Everyone ready?"

Shani and Saden both nodded, though Ky looked a little uncomfortable. "I may have been a little distracted at your little strategy meeting last night. What are we doing now?"

Xhai blinked. He'd expected that response, but even so....

"Okay, just so everyone-" He shot a pointed look at Ky, who was too busy admiring his reflection in one of his armguards (http://img04.deviantart.net/2a86/i/2012/297/2/4/alien_powered_armor_by_rebirthofdougler111-d5isaqg.jpg) to notice "-is on the same page, I'm going to go over the plan again. We all want to pay DrWilyII back for everything he's done, but that isn't important right now. I....I know, somehow, that our friends are still alive, and we will find them. So, the first thing we're going to do is head to the small town on the edge of the desert. From there, we get a train to RPM City, find a place to call home, and start looking for leads. We find our friends, and THEN-" He gave a humourless smile "-THEN, we start finding ways to make that bastard regret the day he decided to [tornado fang] with us. Nobody hurts the people I care about and lives...!"

It was Shani's hand on his arm that forced him to calm down. "It's okay, Xhai. We get it. We're all pissed off about what happened....some moreso than others. We're with you all the way."

Saden nodded, Leo's voice echoing alongside her own. "Agreed. That madman WILL repent for his evil, and we won't consider stopping until he has."

Ky chipped in "Hey, ah, not to....ruin the mood, or anything, but what happens if we run into Typhon or Luna?"

The group fell quiet at that, and a gloomy silence pervaded the air until Xhai spoke up again, his voice calm once more. "I'd hope they'd be willing to talk, but we'll cross that bridge if and when we get to it."

Ky shrugged. " 'Kay. I get first crack at Big Red, though. Got some stuff to say to him."

Xhai nodded. "Fair enough. Let's get moving, shall we? If we make good time, we can be in town by nightfall."

With that, the group set off, eager to grasp the future with both hands.



Luna yawned as she staggered into the mess hall. Typhon looked up from the card-game he'd been playing with Aile-bots #22 and #24. "Tired?"

Luna shook her head. "No, I slept fine. I just.....you ever get the feeling you're forgetting something REALLY important?"

Typhon nodded. "All the time. I really should be more consistent with my resupply periods."

Shaking her head, Luna frowned. "That's not what I meant.....mm, y'know what? Forget it, it's probably nothing major anyway."[/spoiler]

Indeed.

Um, I have a rather odd question. Does RPM City have a port or a harbour? I'm planning a rough draft of my next oneshot, and I've had an idea that would require one to work properly. S'not a massive deal, just curious.

Oh, and I added all of my pre-timeskip bios to the DropBox folder linked in my sig, for anyone who cares.

There's probably a port close to the main branch Weapons Shack, now called the Survival Shack since Hitomi left, and other places in the area such as the main branch Sex Shack.

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 05, 2016, 12:28:34 AM
Well, here's the next one.

Easily the shortest so far, and maybe not up to my usual standard, but this one's more about laying the groundwork and building the world than telling a story, I think.

Thanks for the clarification on the Port thing, Sakura.

Here's oneshot #006 - Make This (Ware)House a Home

[spoiler]RPM City, late-evening

The quartet stared up at the derelict warehouse in silence, varying expressions present on their faces. At length, a confused Shani voiced the question that had been plaguing her since they'd arrived about a half-hour prior.

"So...ah....can anyone explain how and why we bought this dump?"

Ky grinned. "I can supply the how. I kinda-sorta made a bid for world domination a while ago, and those things aren't done with an empty wallet. I had a couple of....secret...bank accounts set up to fund it. I might've failed, but I'm still loaded. Buying something like was surprisingly easy. S'kinda scary how few people are interested in harbour-side warehouses these days, and the owner was desperate to sell up. As for why...." He trailed off, staring at Xhai.

The de-facto leader of the group stepped forward to address the question. "You remember how most of us took on odd jobs to help pay the bills before things went south? If we're gonna find our friends, we're gonna need money and a safe place to stay. I figured if we're gonna be in the "help-for-hire" business, we might as well make it official. A place like this-" He gestured to the warehouse "-can serve as both a home, and a place to work from. Sure, it'll take some time to fix it up, but since we'll be doing this ourselves we can make whatever additions we want to the layout and security."

Ky shot him a dubious look. "You expect us to fix this thing up by ourselves? You're kidding, right?"

Xhai shook his head. "No. I was hoping you'd agree to help hire some outside help to get the building back up to standard, and the new rooms and whatever installed. Then, everyone can personalise their rooms. Sound good?"

Ky adopted a thoughtful pose, looking unusually serious. "Hmm....not a bad idea. Could we install a-"

Shani interrupted him. "Ky, I swear, if the next word out of your mouth is "den", "dungeon" or "playroom", I'm popping you in the head right now and we'll find another way of funding this thing."

Ky looked like a child who'd just been told Christmas was cancelled. "......Can I least get my room soundproofed?"

Xhai shrugged. "Whatever. It's your money, use it how you like. That comes later, though. For now, let's get back to the hotel and start looking for a decent construction company, alright?"

Saden and Shani nodded, apparently accepting the plans, but Ky looked a little shifty. "You guys go on ahead. I've got some....personal business to deal with first. I'll meetcha back there later, yeah?" Before anyone could respond, he'd left them behind and headed for an alley on the opposite side of the street.

At Xhai and Shani's confused expressions, Saden offered "I saw a "Sex Shack" sign while we were heading here."

Shani shuddered at the implication. "TMI, Saden. TMI."



One month later...

The front door of the newly refurbished warehouse closed with a soft click as Saden shut it behind her. Xhai looked up from the desk he'd been inspecting. "Hey, welcome back. Find what you were looking for?"

The knight nodded. "Yes, thank you. I was told it would be delivered about a week from now. It's been a long time since I got to pick my own furniture. I'd forgotten how enjoyable shopping could be."

A series of loud thuds and muffled curses sounded from somewhere in the back. The "Employees-Only" door opened, and Ky staggered through, clutching his head and looking slightly dazed. "Could we...please...get the stairs cleared? I'm tired of tripping over crap that doesn't belong to me."

Of the two he addressed, only Saden looked apologetic. "Sorry, Ky. I'm still moving some things into my room, and I can't exactly leave the boxes in the hallway..."

Ky smiled at her. "It's alright, I guess....though if you really want to apologize to me...."

Her expression and tone turned positively glacial. "No."

He responded with a defeated shrug. "Worth a try."

Shani poked her head through the front door. "Looks like everything's finished. The guys we hired are packing up now."

Xhai stood up. "That's great. Okay, we'll give it another few days while the rest of our gear arrives, then we can officially start accepting jobs again....AND start looking for leads on our friends. For now, who wants to eat out tonight? My treat."

Ky perked up. "By "eat out"..."

Xhai cut him off. "I mean "go to a restaurant". Get your mind out of the gutter, you horndog."

Shani laughed, and Saden didn't quite manage to stifle a giggle. Really, Ky was rather entertaining when he wasn't trying to get into your pants.

Still exchanging banter, the quartet left their new home behind and headed out to find a place to celebrate their latest success. Saden, though, had one final question.

"Um...I know we're in the "help-for-hire" business....but what should we call it?"

Xhai blinked. "That's...actually a damn good question." His stomach growled. "Eh, we'll talk it over tomorrow. For now, I just want to relax and spend a fun evening with friends. And, no, not THAT kind of fun, Ky."[/spoiler]

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 05, 2016, 01:23:53 PM
I think Ky's.....activities are best filed under the "Things Man is Not Meant to Know" tab.

Got a few things to add/ask, this time, if that's OK with everyone.

- Got rough ideas for my next few oneshots planned out already. but who do you want to see return first?
- Current plan is that Luna will, eventually (ie. not anytime soon), rejoin the group. Typhon, however, won't. The idea I came up with for this is that, while his AI is advanced enough for him to have a personality, it's also simple enough that when he was rebooted it was akin to formatting a computer. He won't recover his memories because they don't exist in his head anymore. Luna (and by extension, all Copy-Bots) aren't subject to the same rules because of how complex their AI has to be mimic the people they were inspired by. What happened with her is pretty much what happened to Alastor, when she was rebooted, all the memories Doc didn't want her accessing were locked away and buried as far back into her systems as he could get them. S'why she sometimes feels like she's forgetting something.

If it makes things easier, I was actually sad enough to map out a "heirarchy" of sorts, for robots and what-have-you. From least-to-most-advanced:

#1 Mooks (Mets, Sniper Joes, Batton-tons, etc.): Can operate under basic instructions, but generally require supervision to perform to any noticable standard.
#2 W2-Robot Masters: Have distinct personalities, but are also bound within the limits of their programming, with no room for any sort of real character development.
#3 W2-Fortress Bosses: Similar to the above, but able to adapt to changing battle conditions to a certain degree. Typhon would fall into this category.
#4 Copy-Bots: Too advanced for the "wipe-and-reset" method to work, but bound by the limitations of their personalites. The amount of autonomy they display varies based on who they're imitating, but they all have room for some sort of character development (look at the Aile-bot Cosplay Rangers). Luna's rebellion was down to her inspiration's habit of following orders even if she didn't agree with them. The real Luna would have a breaking point at which she'd no longer be comfortable with her commanding officers, so the Copy-Bot Luna mimicked her behaviour. More advanced Copy-Bots lean more towards the next tier, though. (Specifically, the ones that Doc had a personal hand in building, instead of mass produced models like the Aile-Bots.)
#5 Reploids: Technically N/A since Alastor doesn't really exist anymore and Galen's no longer a factor, but these aren't bound by any sort of laws or restrictions. The closest to human that a machine can get.

Feel free to dispute any of that, and I haven't mentioned characters that don't belong to me since I didn't wanna upset anyone by mis-labelling a character. If it helps any, Ky was originally a Type-4, leaning more towards Type-5 following his take-over and subsequent personality-merge with Alastor's body.

- I'm also going to rotate the characters that are active at any given time, just so I don't lose track of everything. As a general rule, Xhai, Ky, Shani and an as-of-yet unintroduced character will be my main focus in RPs and whatnot, while everyone else will be back at the office handling the day-to-day stuff/doing their own thing off-screen. Every character will get their chance to shine at some point, though.
- Since three characters have effectively been written out of the group (Cadmus, Typhon and Galen, who may or may not return). I'm down to 14, which is cool, but 15 a better number to work with, I think. With that in mind, I'm already drawing up a rough draft-bio for a final character (mentioned above). Don't really wanna say anything yet, but I will give some hints that should make it fairly obvious what I'm alluding to.

#1 The group's currently lacking a Scythe-wielder, what with Xhai and Siraj losing their original powers.
#2 Doc's reaction to a post I made in the "Brighter Side" thread recently ought to clue to you in.
#3 There are a LOT of Copy-Bots running around, so the occasional defective one might slip through the cracks. (Doc should really stop making copies of quirky characters.)

S'gonna be fun if and when Asch and Ky meet each other, I can confirm that much.

As for Ruby....I think it was a Sniper Rifle, but I'm not sure if she'll have it at the moment. Shani seems to have that role covered (though having more legit ranged attackers is a good idea.)

I guess it really all depends on whether or not Doc was in "Nerf them in case they turn on me" mode when he built her or not. I'm trying to distance her a little from the ACTUAL Ruby, though (like I did with Luna's new look and Ky's everything), just so there's less risk of me getting sued.  XD

I'm finishing up a set of shorter bios for everyone bar Ruby (they'll cover the post-timeskip changes, all the originals are now linked in my sig), and they'll be up in the Bios thread....sometime soon. Hopefully.

We'll just just have Sakura, or Mika considering she can probably do that too, give her a shotgun later anyway, I mean Zeta's weapon is RWBYish already anyway, and I made that before RWBY came out.  Though Zeta's doesn't have a gun, it's a spear that turns into a hammer.  But yeah, shotgun. 8)

BOOM HEADSHOT!

Anyway I think the original did have a sniper rifle.

They need to find Mika first, though.

That's a point, actually. I should find a way to get back into Wilypocalypse and ManaVerse.
Question is, who do I pick for each? Don't want any more than two active at any time, so no-one gets confused.

From the sound of things, Ruby should be in WP when she turns up, so Im'ma need another character for that one.....

I guess Saden would technically count as two as ManaVerse?

Oh, and Ruby's backstory might not be quite what you were expecting. Maybe. Like I said, I'm trying to distinguish between the two, so I've had to modify her skillset a little, at least.

Actually, while I'm on the topic, an IRL friend wanted to know what sort of character archetypes the gang would fill in a fighting game, so I did a little research, and came up with the following (all post-timeskip, for reference, and I'm only including active characters)

[spoiler]Xhai: A combination of Fragile Speedster and Gradual Grinder
Aaru:A combination of Squishy Wizard (Black Mage Variety) and Stealth Expert
Saden/Leo: Jack-of-All-Stats, Stance System, Leo'd probably be a Stone Wall
Bell: Close-Range Combatant, suffers from Crippling Overspecialization
Mika/Minty: Puppet Fighter (Mika), Mix of Stone Wall and Gradual Grinder (Minty)
Typhon: Originally Mighty Glacier, probably leaning more towards Lightning Bruiser since his upgrade.
Ky: Lightning Bruiser
Shu-Fang: Confusion-Fu, Gradual Grinder, Stone Wall
Siraj: Jack-of-All-Stats, Confusion-Fu
Luna: Jack-of-All-Stats (Master of None variety), leaning more towards Glass Cannon after her upgrade
Shani: A combination of Glass Cannon, Critical-Hit Class, Long-Range Fighter and Squishy Wizard (White Mage variety)
Miyuki: A combination of Fragile Speedster, Trap Master, Critical-Hit Class and Squishy Wizard (Black Mage variety)
Renny: A mix of Stone Wall and Mighty Glacier
Ruby: Fragile Speedster, Gradual Grinder[/spoiler]

Alright. Like you mentioned when you posted Calien's pic, these are pretty basic, and I couldn't get all of the details (Xhai and Shani's eyes, Bell's scars, Siraj's mismatched face,  anyone wearing armour), but I think these do well enough.

All post-timeskip, BTW. Oh, and I didn't bother with Minty because of the whole "can look like anyone" thing.

The Cakepocalypse is Upon Us


[spoiler]RPM City, Xhai's Group's Headquarters

Xhai followed the sound of angry voices to the training room set up at the back of the group's new headquarters. Upon opening the door, he found Ky pressed up against the far wall, the point of Leo's sword pressed against his throat by an upset looking knight. Leo herself, he'd guess, if the ghostly-looking Saden standing a short distance away was any indication.

Steeling himself, he stepped forward to try and defuse the situation. "What happened?"

Saden responded, her expression hard to read. "I was training, and Ky came in to watch. I was fine with that, but then he said I had a nice ass and Leo just sort of....." She trailed off, unsure as to whether she should be happy about the apparent compliment or upset about the fact he'd been ogling her again.

Xhai shot a flat look at Ky. "Really? Again with this?"

Ky gave a shaky smile, still painfully aware of the swordpoint digging into his neck. "What? She does."

Leo's scowl only deepened at that. "I would thank you to keep your observations to yourself in the future. Saden's body is not something to be drooled over like a hunk of meat. You are fortunate she pleaded with me not to take your head as due recompense."

Ky relaxed slightly, but immediately tensed up again when Leo shifted her weight forward, the sword now digging deep enough to draw blood. "I did not say I had forgiven you. You have insulted my honour one time too many with your crude remarks. I demand some form of restitution."

There was brief silence as Ky mentally sifted through Leo's archaic speech pattern to figure out what she was saying. "I'm....sorry?"

Leo's tone dropped a level. "Not good enough. I shall grant you one more chance before I end this charade in a manner befitting a knight."

Noting Xhai's confused look, Saden leaned over and helpfully whispered. "Honour duel." Xhai blinked as comprehension flooded him.

With Leo this angry, Ky would get his ass handed to him.

The not-quite-a-reploid seemed to have reached the same conclusion, and blurted out the first thing that came into his head following that realization. "I'll treat you to dinner."

Leo narrowed her eye, regarding him cooly. The offer had some merit. She'd been pleased beyond words the first time Saden had offered to let her sit-in during a meal at the Temple, and Ky, for all his faults, often knew of the best places to eat and drink in any area they might visit. She'd honestly forgotten just how good proper cooked food could be. Spending most of your "life" as a ghost wasn't all excitement, after all. A quick glance in Saden's direction saw the younger knight nod her approval, and the sword at Ky's neck disappeared back into its' sheath. "Very well. I accept your offer." Turning, she motioned for Xhai to follow. "Xhai, you're coming too. I do not trust him enough to accompany him alone."

Xhai shrugged. "Fine by me. He still owes me for rescuing him after that incident at that nightclub last week."

Ky grimaced. "How was I supposed to know they had a "No Touching" rule? Fine. I'll treat you both to dinner. I know a restaurant not far from here that's currently running a "Pay What You Want" offer. Will that do?"

Leo nodded. "Acceptable. I will go and freshen up. I will meet you both at the front entrance of this building in ten minutes." With that, she left, Saden's spectral form floating through the wall after her.

The ten minutes passed quickly enough, and Leo found Xhai waiting in the foyer as she'd requested. She'd doffed Saden's breastplate and armoured skirt, leaving her with a tight-fitting black undersuit and a pair of shorts. Greeting her comrade with a polite smile, she inquired "Where's Ky?"

Xhai shrugged and pushed the door open for her. "Went ahead. Something about reserving a private booth for us. I guess he really is serious about this."



RPM City, Private Booth at Gordo's Bistro

Ky gave a lazy grin as the trio finished their respective meals. Leo had opted for a steak dish, Xhai for rabbit, and Ky himself had opted for a plate of spaghetti. Pushing his plate back, he watched as the waiter returned to clear their table and offer a dessert menu.

Leo perused the menu with interest, but had a question. "I'm not familiar with any of these dishes? Xhai, could you recommend something?"

The demi-falcon quickly cast his gaze over the items on offer. He didn't have much interest in the stuff himself, but he could certainly remember Mika gushing over similar things during their time together. Shaking himself to banish the melancholy that threatened to overwhelm him at the thought of his absent friend, he paused on one that he thought might be suitable, considering Saden's aversion to anything unhealthy. "Cream Eclairs are nice. Maybe try one of those?"

She nodded. "Very well."



Five minutes later

Leo daintily wiped her mouth with a napkin, inwardly marvelling at how delicious that "eclair" had been. The food she remembered from her time as a knight was servicable, and definitely tasty, but they'd had nothing so sweet or extravagant as this! She found herself wanting another one, but the knowledge that Saden would probably object stopped her. Distracted by her musings, she almost missed the hushed exchange of words that passed between her male companions.

"This place is pretty fancy, you sure you can cover the bill?"

"Hey, no worries. I chose this place specifically because of the offer. I can get Leo off my back, AND pay the absolute bare minimum for the food. Win-win!"

Leo's eyes narrowed. So that's his game. He thinks this is a suitable apology? I have every intention of making him regret his disrespectful ways....If hitting him in the pocket is the only way to hurt him, then so be it.

She was prevented from commenting when Saden dragged her into their shared mindscape, clearly eager to get her body back.

"You seem like you enjoyed that, Leo. Ready to trade places again?"

"I was....I assume you heard what that arrogant fool said?" Her eyes glittered dangerously as an idea came to her. "I apologise for this, Saden, but I will not be returning your body just yet. If Ky thinks he can get away with a dishonourable scheme like this, he can think again."

What followed was a brief mental scuffle that ended when Leo pulled the equivalent of a "Hey! Look over there!" and clamped down on her end of the shared connection, preventing Saden from communicating or manifesting for the time being.

Ky had just signalled the waiter to pay for the bill when Leo snapped back to reality.

"Wait."

Ky stopped short at that, cut off before he could settle up. He turned to Leo with a confused look on his face, Xhai meanwhile seemed content to just sit back and watch things unfold. He'd seen that look in Leo's eyes before. It meant she'd taken something as a challenge, and had every intention of emerging the victor in whatever it was she saw as the contest.

Leo pointed back to the menu, and inquired of the waiter "This...promotion...you are offering....every item has a minimum price, correct?"

The waiter confirmed that, yes, that was the case, even as Ky's expression slowly shifted to one of realisation, and then, abject terror.

Leo's smile was almost predatory. It wasn't often she got enjoy herself like this, and she fully intended to put her newly-discovered sweet tooth through its paces.

"I'll have one of everything on the dessert menu, please."



Ten minutes later....

Ky stared with wide-eyed incomprehension at the spread in front of him. A plate of chocolate eclairs, cupcakes, a chocolate gateau....and was that a wedding cake!?

Leo opted to start with the cupcakes, vowing to enjoy every moment of this. She'd apologise to Saden later. Chivalry be damned, she was not letting Ky weasel his way out of a proper punishment.



Ten minutes later....

"I don't get it....where is she putting it all?"

Xhai stirred from his nap at Ky's question, meeting the yellow-eyed gaze with a flat look of his own. A sly smirk slid across his face. "What's wrong? Is she getting a rise out of you already?"

Ky scowled, but couldn't resist firing back with a quip of his own, if only to briefly distract himself from the culinary bloodbath occuring on the other side of the table. "That was a pretty stale attempt at a joke, Xhai."

The demi-falcon settled back down on his arms and closed his eyes. "Yeah, it was fairly half-baked, wasn't it?"



Ten minutes later....

"Xhai.....XHAI, wake up!"

Xhai grunted, and shifted into a sitting position. A quick glance around revealed Leo, apparently having finished both the cupcakes AND the eclairs already, making solid inroads into the chocolate gateau....and the one who'd woken him: Ky, wearing a panicked expression.

"Mm?"

"Xhai, we're in trouble. I've done the math....even IF I pay the minimum suggested amount here, I can't cover the bill! You gotta help me! I can't get arrested for something as lame as a dine-and-dash!"

Xhai briefly considered this. He COULD pay part of the bill....he certainly wasn't hurting for money, but he couldn't resist another dig at his companion.

"Scared you'll get taken into custardy? Why should I have to take a slice of the expenses?"

Ky looked genuinely distraught. "Come on, man, help me out here. Please?"

Xhai smirked again. "Sponging off me already.....you really are fudged, aren't you?" Leaning forward, his expression and tone turned serious. "Look, you daft Bundt, you practically told Leo this was all-you-can-eat, and she took that as a challenge. I genuinely want muffin to do with this, but I guess I can help you out.....you'll owe me, though. Again."

Ky was nodding frantically, and neither of them noticed the amused look on Leo's face as she licked the chocolate frosting from her fingers and started on the wedding cake.



Fifteen minutes later...

Xhai blinked, impressed by Leo's endurance. "Holy hell, she's really raisin the bar here, isn't she?"

Ky had slumped over the table and was silently weeping into the tablecloth, more for the state of his wallet than anything else. "Taking the swiss, more like....damn it, now you've got me throwing cake puns around...."

Xhai sniggered. "It IS a rather crumby situation to be in-" he paused long enough to offer Ky a sympathetic pat on the shoulder "-but don't worry, I'm sure you'll gateuver it soon enough. Look at it this way, she's living up to that line from that old national anthem."

Ky shifted to shoot Xhai a half-curious, half-angry glare from his postion on the table. "What are you talking about?"

Not for the first time that day, Xhai responded with a triumphant smirk. "God Save The Queen. You know, "Send her Victorias"?"

Ky banged his head against the table, his voice thick with regret. "What the hell was I thinking, suggesting this....?"

Xhai shot a sideways glance at the remains of the wedding cake. Recalling how the day had started, he laughed. "I'd say it's been an emotional day for all of us. Look, even the cake's in tiers."

Ky didn't look up, but did move an hand to flip the demi-falcon off.

"I [tornado fang]ing hate you right now."

Xhai laughter just intensified.



Five minutes later...

Leo pushed the final platter away with a sigh of satisfaction. Locating another napkin, she cleaned her face and turned to Ky. "Consider your apology accepted, Ky. I trust you've learnt your lesson?"

Ky, who still had his head buried in the tablecloth, mumbled something that could possibly have been an affirmative.

Taking that as a sign of confirmation, the knight turned to Xhai with an apologetic look on her face. "I overheard your conversation about splitting the bill. I apologise for imposing on your generosity as well, Xhai. I will be certain to repay your kindness."

Xhai waved her off with a smile. Seeing Ky reduced to a state of being legitimately lost for words was worth any price. "Don't mention it, I'm happy to help you out. Honestly-" he shot Ky a sideways glance- "-I think you've paid me back already."

This time, he received a genuinely warm smile from his friend. "You truly are a good person, Xhai. You'd make a fine knight."

Cheeks colouring from both the praise and the sincerity in his friend's voice, Xhai opted to look out the window. Noting the stars now beginning to show in the rapidly darkening sky, he shrugged his jacket off and offered it to Leo. "Seems like it might be pretty chilly out, you should probably wear this for now." Standing, he fished a thick wad of bills out of his back pocket and slapped them on the table before offering an arm to Leo. "Might I escort you home, milady?"

Donning the offered clothing, Leo stood up on slightly shaky legs, revealing the aftermath of the cakepocalypse. Saden's undersuit had put up a valiant defense against the encroaching frosted menace, but had finally given up and resigned itself to defeat. Her stomach was noticably full, and wobbled slightly with her movements, widening the tear across her front.

Xhai was genuinely stunned when she actually giggled at his offer, her stoic facade apparently worn away by the relentless tide of sugar now flowing through her veins. "Chivalrous indeed! Very well-" she accepted his arm and shot him another smile "-let's go home. I fear Saden will be very upset with me when she finds out..." -she hiccuped- "....but it was worth it."

With that, they left, leaving an unresponsive Ky to brood over his recent decisions.



RPM City, Headquarters

Shani glanced up from her book as Xhai and Saden -Leo, she confirmed after catching sight of the eye colour- returned, chatting and laughing without a care in the world. She did a double-take at the sight of the ripped undersuit and awkard, tottering gait the knight currently sported, but held her tongue until Xhai had escorted the girl to her room and returned to the lounge, seemingly happier than he'd been in a long while.

"I know it's not really any of my business, Xhai, but why does Leo look like she has a bun in the oven?"

Xhai stared at her for a second, seemingly caught short by her choice of words, and the only answer she got was a burst of raucous laughter.



The next morning...

Xhai blearily stumbled down the corridor towards the bathroom, and almost tripped over Ky as he reached the halfway point. The pseudo-reploid was sleeping face down on the carpet, and a large, empty bottle of whiskey was laid a few inches away from his outstretched hand. Shaking his head, his ability to care severely hampered by his groggy state, Xhai gingerly stepped over Ky's sleeping form and continued on his way. He was jolted back to full alertness by an enraged and slightly hysterical shout from Saden's room.

"WAS ZUM TEUFEL HAST DU MIR, LEO!?"
[/spoiler]

Additional notes:

[spoiler]- To avoid any confusion, allow to me to clear things. Ky's plan when he picked the restaurant was to take advantage of the "Pay-What-You-Want" offer by paying the absolute bare minimum for whatever the group ordered. Leo overheard him telling Xhai as much, and decided that since she wouldn't be able to convince him to pay more (it was supposed to be punishment/an apology after all, and he was attempting to weasel his way out of the worst of it), she'd just add more items to the bill. That she got to eat more sweets in doing so was just a bonus.
- Saden's outburst at the end was run through Google Translate, so I apologise if the wording or grammar is a little off. The english version I started with was just "What the hell did you do to me, Leo!?"[/spoiler]

Oh, and Doc? Your attempt at a joke's a trifle late. There were hundreds and thousands of others you coulda made and you picked that one?  XD Ah well, the puns will continue to take a beating as I whisk my way through these stories.

Just added Ky's bio to the Bios thread.

It's strange though, his Profile section is completely different from what I remember writing....


On another note, I've got Shu-Fang's bio finished, and will post it alongside her one-shot, which is about halfway done.

I've also had what I think is an interesting idea regarding Ruby's backstory and abilities, so we'll see if that pans out when I get around to finishing her bio.

It's funny you mention Pema and Leo though. I have been thinking about trying to get back in to the RPs that are currently running (Wilypocalypse maybe not so much just yet, as I'm still waiting to introduce a particular character that'd fit well into that one), and I figure Saden post-timeskip would be a great choice for ManaVerse.

Here's the one you were waitin' on, Doc. All of Shu's not-english stuff was run through Google's default "English-to-simple Chinese" translator, so I apologise if anything's incorrect there. Translations are available at the bottom of the post.

I got two more oneshots in the immediate planning stages after this, then Im'ma take a break from re-introducing characters to focus on building the one's that'll be present. Shu's bio ought to be up sometime in the next day or so, as I need to make a couple revisions to it following the end of this story.

It's funny though, when I was writing this I came to the realisation that Shu-Fang is terrifying if you stop and consider her character in detail.

Hope you guys enjoy!

008 - Night of the Adorable Dead

[spoiler]Forested Area, some distance from RPM City, late-evening

Marcus' eyes darted around the clearing, though his panic made it impossible for him to really focus on the things he was seeing. His breathing was sharp and ragged, and he was twitching madly from a barely-suppressed sense of terror. How had things gone so wrong?

His afternoon had started innocuosly enough. His boys had raided a few places, threatened a few civilians and then retreated to their hideout in this forest to count their spoils in relative peace. Then, they received a message from their spotter that piqued their interest.

Going to investigate, they'd found a young girl, practically a child, sleeping in a hollow at the foot of a partially fallen tree. Even then, he'd known there was something off about her. He didn't know if it was the eerie blue-green tinge to her skin, the piece of paper attached to her forehead or the strange -chinese?- looking clothes she was wearing, but he'd gotten the impression that something just wasn't right about her....



Flashback....

Brady blinked, not quite able to process what he was seeing. "The hell!? What the hell is a kid doing here? How'd she get past all the traps we set?"

Adrian, the spotter who'd intially discovered their intruder, studied her carefully. "I don't think she did." He pointed to a series of jagged holes in the cloth covering her right shin, barely visible in the dim light that was managing to penetrate the dense foliage above them. "Looks like she got caught in one of the bear-traps we put down....It's strange though, I don't see any blood...."

Strowman, the muscle of the group, grunted. "Who gives a [parasitic bomb] how she got here? I say we wake her up, have a little fun with her, then gut the [sonic slicer] and leave her for the crows."

Marcus considered the proposal. He was getting an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach just looking at her, but then he shrugged. "What the hell, we got a good haul today, we deserve to celebrate a little". Nodding his approval, he motioned for Strowman to wake her up. The big man took a confident step forwards and nudged with her with his foot.

"Hey kid, naptime's over. Time to get up."

She shifted, and opened her eyes, looking around blearily. "....mm? Wu...what...time's..." -She stopped when she noticed the group of men staring at her. "Oh, Nǐ hǎo!. Who're you?"

Strowman chuckled, though there was no warmth in it. "Girlie, that's the last thing you need to worry about right now." He cast a lecherous gaze over her. "Mmm, a little young, but I think we can have some fun together. Make sure you scream for me, yeah?"

The others in the group shifted slightly, backing up to give the larger man a little more space. The girl bowed her head, the tag on her forehead covering her eyes as she put two-and-two together. "Huh? What're you.....oh. Oh. Ew."

Strowman chuckled again. "Looks like you got the idea. But first...-" He bent down and ripped the paper from her forehead, crumpling it in his fist and tossing it off to the side "-...let's get rid of this damn thing. I like to look my women in the eye."

The girl went rigid as soon as the tag left her skin, and her eyes glazed over for a moment before refocusing. The men around her weren't afforded a good enough look to notice, but her countenance was noticably darker than before.

Strowman grabbed the collar of her shirt and hauled her roughly to her feet. She swayed a little, before settling into a rather-stiff looking posture. The big man gave a toothy grin. "Looks like you're not quite awake yet. Don't worry, I'll help ya loosen up...."

The girl tilted her head back to look up at him, and his grin froze as he spotted the manic glint in her eyes. When she spoke again, her tone was...strangely relaxed, though Marcus thought he could make out an undercurrent of something distinctly dangerous in it. "That's a kind offer to make, mister. I think I know what sort of "fun" you have in mind.....I think it's only fair to warn you, though, I'm something of a biter..."

Before anyone could react, she'd leapt up and clamped her teeth around the side of Strowman's massive neck. His initial grunt of surprise turned into a moan of pleasure, and finally, a distressed shriek as she bit deeper and deeper into his skin. Brady and Adrian rushed forward and attempted to wrestle her off of him. They succeeded, but there was a wet ripping sound as her head jerked backwards from the force of the motion. Strowman went down with a scream and started thrashing around on the forest floor, one hand clamped over a gaping wound on the side of his neck.

His comrades released their grip on the girl, and she landed face-first in the dirt with a soft thud. Slowly pushing herself back to a standing position, she watched dispassionately as her would-be attacker gave another wet gurgle and fell silent, his body going limp as the blood pouring from his neck formed a rapidly cooling halo in the dirt around his head. Noting with some amusement the look of pure fear on the faces of his friends, she spat out the lump of muscle and artery she'd been holding in her mouth, and licked her lips, savouring the taste of blood on her tongue. Adopting a childish pout, and completely disregarding his friends for a moment, she addressed the corpse. "Aaww, are we done playing already?  Zhè tài zāo gāo le....." She shifted her gaze back to the others in the clearing with her, and barely suppressed a smirk at the switchblade one of them was holding.

Marcus was freaking the hell out. They'd been looking forward to a little fun, and this weird-looking [sonic slicer] had just torn Strowman's throat out. Shooting a nervous glance at his fellows, he noticed Adrian holding his knife, and didn't hesitate to call out "Wh-what the hell are you waiting for, dumbass!? Stab her already!"

Adrian was to be commended for his bravery. With a cry that was half anger, half blind terror, he rushed forward and buried the knife up to its' hilt in the girl's heart. She rocked backwards, and he gave a cocky, if still rather shaky, smirk. "That's what you get for [tornado fang]ing with us, you little [sonic slicer]. Not so confident now, are you?".

His smirk vanished at her response. She giggled. It was only then he noticed that she didn't seem to be bleeding. Slowly, one of her arms inched upwards in a slow, jerky fashion and yanked the blade free with seemingly no effort or discomfort. She stared at it for a moment, then looked up at him, a disturbingly innocent grin on her face. "Oh, are we changing the game? Yay!" She flicked her wrists, and there was a flash of silver and a muted roar before Adrian went down in a shower of gore, his torso sliced clean open by the miniature chainsaw that seemed to just appear from her sleeve. He was dead before he hit the ground, and the other two stared in mute shock for a brief moment before turning on their heels and fleeing into the darkness of the bushes.

The girl cocked her head to one side and studied Adrian's body for a moment before she realised his friends had disappeared. Halting her saws for the time being, she looked for signs of a trail to follow. "We're playing hide-and-seek now? This is so much fun~!" Hopping off in pursuit, she called out in a sing-song voice "Zhǔn bèi hǎo le méi yǒu, wǒ lái le~!"



RPM City, Xhai's base, late-evening

The door to the consultation office swung open as Shani moved through, the demi-frog  stopping just short of the desk where Xhai was currently sat, studying some paperwork with a look of intense concentration on his face. When he noticed her, he leant back in his chair, rubbing his eyes tiredly. "Hey Shani. Something up?"

Ignoring his half-hearted attempt to stifle a yawn, she fished around in the breast pocket of her shirt and produced a small stack of photos. "You could say that. I might've found us a job."

That got his attention. "Really? Let's take a look, then."

She handed him the photos, explaining what she knew of the situation. "This'd be another bounty-hunting job. The men in the photographs are known thieves, murderers and....they do other unpleasant things, too." She shuddered, not able to finish the sentence in the way she'd intended. Xhai apparently caught the implication, though, and gave a predatory smirk at the thought of bringing these scumbags in.

"The lowest of the low, then. You have an idea of where we should start looking?"

She nodded. "Yep. Apparently they were seen heading towards a forest somewhere north of here after their last job. I'd be willing to bet they have some sort of hideout there, or something."

That was good enough for Xhai. "Great. I'll go get us a rental car. Meet you back here in twenty?"

Shani did a brief mental calculation, and shot him a smile. "That should be fine. I need to run a quick maintenance check on my gear, anyway."

The two left the office in companionable silence, each mentally preparing themselves for what could turn out to be another interesting job. Marcus Donahue and his gang would never know what hit them....



Forested Area, some distance from RPM City, late evening

Marcus froze as the faint echo of a scream -Brady's scream- reached his ears. He fought back another wave of panic and steeled himself to make a run for it. He could get caught by the police as soon as he made it free of this damned forest, at this point he didn't give a [parasitic bomb], he just wanted to get out of here. He managed a few short, shaky steps when a high-pitched giggle rang through the clearing. He paled, and started shooting panicked glances at the shadows around him.

"[parasitic bomb]! Where is she...!?"

The sound of faint, if rather awkwardly paced, footsteps echoed from somewhere behind him, and Marcus spun on his heel just as the girl appeared from out of the bushes, her arms held directly in front of her in a classic "zombie" pose. The reason for the awkward noise of her approach was revealed as she cleared the treeline. She was hopping, her legs locked in a stiff-legged pose as she stopped and gave him a cheery wave, a bright grin splitting her face. Some long-buried part of him reflected that she'd actually look kind of cute if not for the large patch of gore currently staining the lower half of her face.

"Yay! I caught you!"

Taking his stunned silence as permission to continue, she started moving towards him. "You and your friends were pretty bad at this game, y'know? The whole point of hide-and-seek is making sure you don't get found." She stopped a few feet from him and planted her hands on her hips, leaning forward slightly and adopting an indignant expression. "Hey! You didn't go easy on me just 'cause I'm a kid, did you?"

Marcus was dumbstruck by the sheer air of casualness she was emanating at this point, almost as though she hadn't just brutally murdered the rest of his gang, and it was a long moment before he was able to find his voice. "W-w-w-w-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!?"

Her eyes narrowed. Apparently, that had been the wrong answer to her question. She shuddered for a moment, and when she met his terrified gaze again her eyes had regained the near-insane glimmer they'd possessed when she'd killed Strowman and Adrian. Reaching into the front of her shirt, she removed a small, white object. A straw, the somehow still rational part of Marcus' mind noted. Idly twirling it between her fingers, she addressed him again, with the same air of casual friendship she'd previously shown. "Say, have you ever been to the beach? I had some friends once, and they showed me pictures of a time they went. I wanted to go, but I don't like sunlight much....-" She trailed off, staring off into the treetops with a look of fond reminisence "-...anyway, in some of the pictures, they were drinking from coconuts! They'd cut part of it away and stuck a straw in it. They looked like they were having so much fun! I've always wanted to try one, but...."

She turned from her musings and studied the man in front of her more closely. Now that she thought about, he was a little overweight, and with the beard and his hair....Her eyes lit up in delight, and a quick flourish of her wrist had one of her saws whirring into life as she slowly advanced towards him.

"Hey, I just realised! Your head kinda looks like a coconut! Maybe you could help me out?"

Marcus did the only thing a man of his bearing could do in a situation like this. He soiled himself and passed out. On the upside, at least being unconcious meant he couldn't feel what happened next....


Xhai moved slowly through the undergrowth, Shani crawling along beside him. The dense foliage and uneven ground made her preferred method of travel somewhat impractical, and since they were heading into a potential combat situation, they'd agreed that a stealthy approach was probably the best option. Suddenly, the demi-falcon stopped dead, sniffing the air.

"Hey, you smell that?"

Shani mimicked him, and her nose wrinkled as she detected the scent she figured he was referring to. "Yeah....is that....blood?"

A few minutes of careful exploration led them to the source of the smell. Xhai nudged Strowman's corpse with his foot, making sure to keep his eyes away from the mess that was Adrian's.

"Well, I think these were the guys we were looking for. Emphasis on "were"."

He crouched down to inspect the body, the thin shafts of moonlight now poking through the treetops providing just enough illumination for his enhanced eyesight to make out the details. "Looks like this guy died from a neck wound.....no idea what caused it, though..."

"I might have an idea." Shani moved over to him and pressed a ball of crumpled paper into his hand. "Found it at the base of a tree over there. Look familiar?"

Xhai straightened it out a little, and his eyes went wide at the sight of the characters inscribed on it. "This looks like the tag Shu-Fang wore....you don't think....?"

Whatever Shani didn't think was cut off by a distant roaring noise. The two Aspects shared a look, and Xhai shot a significant glance towards the treetops. Shani nodded in understanding, and after a brief moment to find a suitable spot, her tongue shot out, and she disappeared into the shadows above his head. Pocketing the tag, Xhai cautiously advanced in the direction the noise had come from, trying to keep his pace light and steady so as not to give away his presence.

It didn't take him long to find what he was looking for. Positioning himself just inside the treeline, he shifted slightly, peering into the clearing ahead of him. He was both happily surprised and slightly sickened by what he saw. Shu-Fang was sat in the middle of the clearing, lit up by a large moonbeam, a headless corpse sprawled out on the ground behind her. Xhai felt his gorge rise in his throat once he got a better look at what she was holding: a severed head, with a straw sticking out of the stump that used to be its' neck. "Looks like a coconut", the morbid part of his mind noted.

She must have sensed his presence somehow, as she lurched back to her feet, discarding her "cup" and tucking the straw back into her shirt. Taking a single, juddery step forward, she called out "Hello? Is someone there?"

Xhai's mind was whirling with possible outcomes for this scenario, but he fought back the urge to run, and slowly, ever so slowly, rose from his crouch in the bushes and stepped out where she could see him, keeping his hands raised and trying his damndest not to make any sudden movements. An unsealed Shu-Fang could be dangerously unpredictable, so it was in his best interests to avoid spooking her.

Shu watched his approach with a curious expression, and when he stopped just short of her, she hopped up to get a better look at this oddly familiar newcomer. Staring up into his face to get a better look at him, she ticked her head to the side and asked "Have we met before? You look like someone I used to know."

Inwardly breathing a sigh of relief at her light tone, Xhai fought to keep his voice level as he responded. "It's me, Shu. I'm Xhai, remember?"

Her eyes glinted dangerously, and an ice-cold hand wrapped itself around his throat. Despite the size difference between them, Xhai found himself being forced to a knee so that she could look him directly in the eye. When she spoke again, her tone was icy. "That's not funny. I used to have a friend called Xhai, but his eyes weren't as scary as yours. Besides, he died." Her other arm rose up, and with a quick flourish Xhai found a chainsaw being held level with his face by an angry looking jiang shi, the whirring teeth dangerously close to the bridge of his nose. "Now, I'm going to ask you again. Who are you?"

He was saved from his impending evisceration by a pair of muted cracks from somewhere above them. Evidently Shani had felt the need to intervene. The first bullet richocheted off the flat of the saw with a clang, throwing it to the side and away from Xhai's head, and the second tore through Shu's arm just above the elbow, tearing it off and knocking the undead girl back a step from the impact. Xhai ripped the hand from around his neck as soon as he felt the vice-like grip on his throat slacken, and dropped to his knees with a loud gasp, lungs working double-time to restore some oxygen to his body.

Shu-Fang recovered from the momentary surprise of losing a limb to see someone drop down from a tree next to the man who claimed he was her dead friend. This one looked familiar, too.....

Shani's first instinct was to check on Xhai, but the brunette waved her off as he shakily regained his footing. His face was pale and coated in a thin sheen of sweat, but otherwise he appeared to be fine.

Shu stared at the stump that used to be her right arm for a moment, and glared at the one who'd apparently shot her. "Hey! That wasn't very nice! I liked that arm!"

Shani shot a concerned glance towards her companion, and was surprised to see him meet her gaze and then flick his towards Shu. "Ah, that makes sense."

Shouldering her rifle, she hopped forward so the smaller girl could get a better look at her. Offering a tentative smile, she spoke in what she hoped was a reassuring tone. "Hey Shu, it's been a while, hasn't it?""

The jiang shi froze at that, eyes going almost impossibly wide. She only knew one person that moved like a frog. In a timid, hesitant tone, she responded "Sh...Shani?"

The demi-frog nodded. "That's right, Shu. It's me."

Shu-Fang reeled backwards, the bloodlust in her eyes fading. She stared at the man standing behind her friend again, and something clicked in her brain. He looked a little different than how she remembered, but....

Xhai's breathing and posture had just about steadied when he was almost bowled over as his undead friend slammed into him, clamping her remaining arm around his waist and sobbing into his chest. "Duì bù qǐ, Xhai....duì bù qǐ...duì bù qǐ....duì bù qǐ!"

Gently, hesitantly, he placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her back so he could look at her face. Her eyes were wet with unshed tears, and a slowly growing damp-patch on his shirt was testament to just how upset she was. "It's okay, Shu. I know you weren't quite yourself." He fished around in his pockets and retrieved the tag Shani had handed him. "In fact, this is yours, isn't it?"

She let go of his waist to accept the tag, and studied it carefully for a moment. "Yes, I think so. This won't work any more, though. I remember there were these really nasty men. They said some mean things to me and then one of them ripped my seal off. Things got really fuzzy after that." Looking around the clearing, she spotted the remains of one Marcus Donahue. "Oh. I guess I did that. Whoops." She scratched the back of her head, a sheepish grin adorning her features.

Shani had retrieved Shu's arm from the dirt where Xhai had discarded it, and offered the bluenette an apologetic look. "Sorry for shooting you...."

Shu laughed. "Ah, don't worry about it. Just find me a needle and some thread and I can reattach that no problem." She took a hop forward, but the missing limb had thrown her balance off, and she almost collapsed face-first into the dirt. It was only Xhai's hand snagging the back of her shirt that stopped that from happening. She gave a nervous giggle after he'd helped her regain her balance. "Aheh....I guess I need that arm more than I thought, huh?"

Neither one of her friends could fight the amused smiles that spread across their faces at her antics. With a brief, muttered apology, Xhai bent down and scooped Shu up in a bridal-style carry. She blushed at the action, her cheeks colouring a faint green, but she looped her remaining arm around his neck regardless. He shot her a grin. "Sorry, but I figure this is easier than letting you flail your way back to our car. Gotta get you home before daybreak, right?"

Shani appeared at his side, still clutching Shu's currently detached limb. "It's great that we found her, but what about the job? We kinda needed the money."

Xhai grimaced. "I guess we can't do anything. It'd raise too many questions if we tried turning the bodies in, and letting the police know about this would be a whole 'nother hassle." He met Shu's eyes again, and another thought struck him. "Hey, Shani? I hate to say it, but I think Shu's gonna need another seal to stop something like this from happening again. You think you could make one?"

Shani considered his question for a moment. "I think so. It won't be as strong as her last one, though. I'm not particularly skilled at that kind of magic."

Shu blinked. "Don't worry, I promise I'll be good, and only hurt people who really deserve it."

Xhai chuckled. "That'll work. I guess we'll just have to make sure you don't get too angry or upset in the meantime, right? C'mon, let's go home and get you cleaned up. I'm sure Saden and Leo will be happy to see you again."

Shu positively beamed at him after he said that, but Shani had stopped dead, a look of horror creeping across her face. "Xhai, I just thought of something. If she gets upset before we can seal her, she'll get all murder-y again, right?"

Shu gave a hesitant nod. "Yeah, sorry....it happens and I can't really control myself."

Xhai blinked, not entirely sure what his friend was getting at. "She already promised to try and control herself, so what's the problem?"

Shani's response was a single word, uttered with the kind of gravity one would normally apply to something like the apocalypse. "Ky"

Shu looked confused. "I don't get it. Who's Ky?"

Xhai didn't respond. He was too busy staring in slack-jawed horror at something only he could see.[/spoiler]

Thank you for the heads-up regarding the pinyin, I'll definitely keep that in mind in future. I pretty much just copypasta'd the english translations straight off the Google page, so that might be why they weren't laid out correctly. Although, now that I think about it, Shu does seem like the type to fast-talk stuff sometimes.

And, you just wait until Ky finally shows up in Wilypocalypse. Or at least after the rest of the heroes have met him and stopped trying to off him because he's, y'know Robo-Ky.

....Y'know what? Im'ma go ahead and reveal what I had planned for Ruby, too, see what kinda reaction it gets. I'm still running with the "defective Copy-bot" idea, but I've been watching a lot of interesting MKX gameplay vids recently, and seeing Triborg got me inspired. I could deliberately spell her name as "RubY", if that'd give you a clue.  8)

[spoiler]I'll spare the massive gameplay details, but Triborg is essentially all four of MKs cyber-ninjas (Sektor, Cyrax, Smoke and Cyber Sub-Zero) operating as single character. The player picks one, and the others appear as support characters during certain moves. Don't know whether they're hard-light constructs or actual robots themselves, but the Triborg body switches between them fairly easily.

Actually, this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xebu53_DYXA) might be a better way of explaining.[/spoiler]

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on March 11, 2016, 01:45:08 AM
I really don't wanna give too much away before I finalise her bio and post the oneshot, and everything, but I guess I can give a simple breakdown of what I have planned.

She started as "Project RWBY". Ruby herself served as the base body, and was the one most commonly seen (similar to how Sektor's the default option for Triborg). Her headcase was designed to house 4 separate AI cores: R, W, B and Y. At the time she joins Xhai's group (for reasons I'm not going to reveal yet), three of those AI cores are no longer present, and she's just Ruby.

I guess you'd could say she's nerfed by sole dint of the fact that the body she's using is only fighting at around 1/4 of its' full potential.

Don't worry too much, though. This is just an idea, and if it has any merit to it I'll be certain to flesh things out in her bio and go into as much detail as I need to to get the point across.

If it helps you understand, giving her back one the missing AI cores (Weiss, for example) would invoke a very Saden/Leo-esque dynamic to her, in that she consists of a dominant personality (Ruby) and a secondary personality that operates in tandem with her on most things. (Ie. Leo's still present even if Saden's controlling the body. In this case, Weiss would be present while Ruby serves as the main body). I'd intended to use the "hard-light" idea, so if she were able to get all of her missing parts back, "Ruby" would be all 4 members of the team at once, each with their own distinct personalities and fighting styles.

Ah okay, that sounds kind of interesting, though I hope it's not too complicated.

Yeah, I'm making it sound a little more complicated than it actually is.

....We were talking about Blazblue a little while ago, weren't we? It might be easier to think of "Project RWBY" as the Carl Clover of my characters.

Ruby herself would be Carl, while Weiss, Blake and Yang are essentially acting as multiple (sentient) Nirvanas. When you're fighting Carl, you can attack Nirvana as much as you like, but you'll only win if you take Carl out.

I'm seeing it as "Ruby recovers the "W", AI core, and Weiss joins the team. She recovers the "B" core, and Blake joins."

Ruby's the only actual Copy-Bot. The other three would be solid holograms that effectively ARE Copy-Bots even though they aren't made of metal.

God, I really AM making this sound complicated, aren't I? Eh, gotta bring Mika back first, so I've still got some time to iron out the details.

Well, normally she dyes the entirety of it. Her natural colour would be showing from the roots in this situation.

#009 - The Prodigy Returns

[spoiler]Abandoned WilyII Skull Fortress, Location Unknown

Mika slid the panel into place with practiced ease, noting with satisfaction the soft click as it locked in. Rising from her crouch, she stepped back to inspect her work.

She'd spent most of the last few months working on this, and at last the ramshackle, cobbled together mass of spare parts in front of her actually looked like the motorcycle she'd envisioned when she'd begun her efforts.

Unconciously, her gloved hand moved to grasp her pendant. Minty had been too badly damaged after shielding her from the impact of their fall from the airship, and she'd had no choice but to remove the android's AI Chip and leave the damaged shell where it lay. Now, that same chip hung around her neck, waiting for the day she'd have the time and resources required to construct a new body for it.

Realising what she was doing, she lowered her hand and flexed her fingers experimentally, still privately amazed that her idea had worked. Minty had absorbed most of the damage from the fall, but she'd still landed hard. When she finally woke up, she'd lost all the feeling in her left hand. Retrieving Minty's AI Chip with only one functional hand had been difficult, but she'd managed somehow.

Tired, hurt and lost, she'd wandered around for a few days before eventually stumbling across the dilapidated ruins of a structure that reminded her a lot of the one she'd found Typhon in. The inside hadn't been much better, strewn with mangled and battered robots as it was. It was by pure chance that she'd found the private living quarters, and -lacking any better options- she'd made the decision to stop and use the place as a safe haven from the elements. The discovery of a room stocked with practically nothing but Cup Noodles and Pocky had been welcome, so at least she wouldn't have to worry about food (although she'd come out of this with a lifelong hatred of both), and she'd managed to reconnect the water supply to the shower and sink easily enough, though the lack of hot water still annoyed her, months after she'd settled.

After spending a few days recovering, she'd taken to exploring her new surroundings, trying to get a feel for the place she'd be calling home for the foreseeable future. Eventually, once she'd seen as much as she was able to, she'd started investigating the numerous robot carcasses, looking for parts she could salvage to try and improve her situation a little. The discovery of a mostly-intact Sniper Joe had been a godsend, and with some time and effort, she'd managed to construct a crude-looking glove/exoskeleton for her damaged hand that just about gave her back complete functionality.

With that problem sorted, she'd started pondering ways to get back to civilization and start looking for her friends.  The answer to that little dilemma came when she found a pair of Mono-Roaders half-buried under a collapsed wall near the back of the fortress. It took her more time than she would've liked (damn her small frame!) to shift enough of the debris that she could salvage their tyres, but seeing the mostly-complete bike in front of her proved that the time had been well spent.

Yawning, she turned her back on the work-in-progress and headed back to the small travel-bed set up at the back of her living-space. There wasn't much more she could do without a functional power core, and with the limited amount of electricity available to her (courtesy of a portable generator she'd cobbled together from some of the other mostly-usable cores she'd found), she really didn't want to risk the lights going out on her while she fiddled with the bike's wiring. She'd sleep on it first, and make a fresh start in the morning.



The following day....

Mika was roused from her sleep by the faint sound of something moving around deeper inside the fortress. Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, she took a moment to compose herself, and crept from the room to investigate.

Trying to maintain a low profile, she gingerly picked her way through the wreckage-strewn hallways, heading in the rough direction of the noises. Stopping at a partially fallen doorframe, she steeled herself and snuck a peek into the adjoining room, eyes going wide at the sight that met her.

A Sniper Joe, this one completely intact -and more importantly, functional- was moving around the room, apparently looking for something. Luckily for her, it had its' back turned and didn't appear to have noticed her.

Ducking down, she closed her eyes, her mind already pondering this unexpected development.

"A Joe? Is it after something in particular?" - She shook her head - "No, if that were the case it wouldn't be looking around. A scout unit maybe? This is the second fortress like this that I've seen.....is the one responsible for building them trying to salvage whatever's left here? Agh, doesn't matter. I'll be in trouble if that thing finds me, but I don't think I can take it out on my own....."

Unfortunately, her stomach chose that moment to remind her that she hadn't eaten anything substantial since those Cup Noodles at lunch yesterday. She was on her feet and darting off down the corridor even as the Joe's cyclopic gaze moved over to the doorframe. It reached the entryway just in time to see Mika rounding a corner. It paused for a moment, as though listening to some unseen order, and then began pursuit.



Mika skidded to a halt at the edge of a large spike-pit (seriously, how in the hell did anyone get anything done in this place? Even something as simple as going to the kitchen for a snack must have been a life-threatening trip), and dropped to her knees, panting heavily. While she'd never been in particularly bad shape, months of eating nothing but noodles and Pocky combined with a lack of proper care and hygiene had taken a toll on her body. She forced herself back to her feet, and cursed under her breath as the Joe appeared in the doorway. She didn't think for a second that she'd be able to get past it, and with the spike-pit behind her she didn't have any other options. Somehow, the knowledge that she might well die here didn't hit her as hard as it logically should have.

Oddly, the Joe didn't move, simply staring at her with that unnerving red eye. An awkward minute passed, and then the Joe's visor flickered, and the hologram of a young woman in a blue vest appeared between them. The woman gave Mika an appraising look, and spoke: "So you're the one the Sniper Joe reported. I must confess I'm surprised to find anyone wandering around this place."

Mika regarded the newcomer with a wary expression. "Who are you?"

The woman gave a short bow. "Please forgive my lack of manners. My official designation is DW2-CBA-057, but you may call me Aile, for the time being."

Mika's eyes went wide. "DW2...? You're a Copy-Bot?"

A nod. "Indeed. My master has recovered several..-" She trailed off, and shot a look off to the side, apparently speaking to someone "off-camera"- "Sorry, but all this formal speech is making my head hurt. Can I just be me? Yeah? Great!" Turning back to Mika, she gave an impish grin. "Sorry about that. I'm Aile-bot #57, it's nice t'meetcha! So, where was I....? Oh yeah! DrWilyII's found some of the stuff you'd made before we shot your airship down, and he's impressed with how good you are. In fact, he's told all of us that if we ever met you, we're supposed to ask if you'd be interested in working for him." Her expression softened a little, and she spoke with genuine sympathy in her tone. "I know this isn't something you can just say "Yes", to. We DID attack your friends, and there's every possibility they're all....y'know, gone, but it's great working for the Doctor, I swear. We're like a big, happy family. Only with more Rabid Mets and lab explosions. Give it some thought and get back to us, yeah?"

Mika just stared, stunned at the offer. #57 adopted a thoughtful pose, and snapped her fingers as a sudden realisation came to her. "Oh, that's right, I nearly forgot. Luna and Typhon both say hi!"

Mika managed to regain control of her faculties enough to respond to that. "Th...They're okay?"

#57 nodded, a bright grin on her face. "Yup! Happier than ever. I'd bring 'em in to say hi, but I think they're both busy right now." She tilted her head as someone addressed her from off-camera again. "The Doctor wants to offer you a lift to wherever you want to go. Says it's the least he can do to apologise for attacking you."

Mika's expression turned thoughtful. She really didn't trust this "#57" or her master, but a chance to get out of this ruin and back to somewhere with people? After a minute's careful deliberation, she had her answer. "Could you please take me as close to RPM City as you can? I understand it might be a problem for you."

#57 considered that for a moment. "Shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just follow the Joe, he'll lead you back to his vehicle, and you'll be back in RPM City in no time!" She shot Mika a warm smile, and the pinkette-turning-silvette was stunned by just how genuine it seemed. "Seriously though, please give the Doctor's offer some thought, will you? He's really not as bad a guy as everyone claims he is."

Mika nodded, her mind already turning this new development over to examine it from every angle she could conceive of.

#57 laughed. "Great! Hope to see you soon then!" The hologram gave a jaunty salute and flickered out. The Joe turned slightly to allow Mika room to pass and made a "follow me" gesture with its' arm. Mika wordlessly followed it, and was silent for the entire trip back to RPM City. She was dropped off on the outskirts, and wandered into the city proper, not really having a destination in mind. She had a lot to think about.



Saden watched with a mix of amusement and disgust as Leo -in her body for the first time since the "incident" at the bistro"- attacked her parfait with the kind of aggression one would normally expect from a starving wolf. She was about to open her mouth to say something, but was distracted by a glimpse of bubblegum-pink on the other side of the street. Casting a glance towards her comrade, who was too busy inhaling her dessert, she wandered across the road (completely ignoring the traffic. To the credit of the drivers, none of them batted an eyelid.) to investigate. Her mouth dropped open in shock as she saw a very familiar face sprawled out on a bench, apparently lost in thought. She drew closer.

"Mika....?"

Mika was broken from her thoughts by a voice she didn't recognise. Looking up, she was met with a white-haired girl, one side of her face swathed in bandages, staring at her in mute shock. "Do I know you?"

The girl started, and shot a look down at herself before giving a sheepish grin. "I guess you wouldn't recognise me like this. Believe it or not, I'm Saden."

Mika's eyes almost bugged out of her head at that, her other concern momentarily forgotten. "Saden!? What happened to you?"

Saden just laughed. "It's a long story." She pointed across the street, where her blue-eyed doppelganger was currently in the act of demolishing another parfait. "Come sit with us for a bit, I'll tell you most of it. Xhai can fill you in on the rest later."

Mika wasn't entirely sure how to respond to that. "Xhai...? He's alive?"

A nod. "Shani, Leo and Shu-Fang, too. There's one more with us, but he's....He defies description."

Mika was silent for a moment, her eyes closed in deep thought. Pushing the conversation from this morning to the back of her mind for the time being, she shot Saden a bright grin, her eyes glistening with happy tears. "Sure. I'd like that."[/spoiler]

So I was looking up some height references since Sakura is 5 ft and by default she's already shorter than all of Xhaiden's crew bar Shu Fang. It's especially significant since she's 19 so she's pretty much done growing and since the first 14 years of her life was spent in the Lost Woods she probably wouldn't get the best nutrients despite being a pretty effective hunter gatherer with plenty of animals and fruit around.  In other words her height probably went to her boobs, much to her mild dismay.

However I wanted to compare her to the height of an anime character and found at bare minimum she's at least 2 Centimeters taller than Edward Elric before the end of manga FMA/Brotherhood since he's 150 cm and at bare minimum a person at 5 ft would be around 152.4 cm.  Also keep in mind that since Asch is a robo clone of PB he is 5'11 so I find this especially amusing.

Another thing I noticed is that I may have inadvertently gave Sakura a very mild form of Super Strength, mostly because even before becoming PB's Egoprentice and receiving Training from Hell from Hitomi she is able to lift her Absol with no problem which on average Absols are 170 lbs and she was able to pull Asch without trouble who is probably around 200 lbs at least, adrenaline rush or otherwise.  Now she wouldn't be able to lift a Car which is 4,000 lbs on average, but I think she would be able to lift a Car Engine which at minimum is about 330 lbs without too much effort.  I want to say her limit would be around 400 lbs, maybe more, so she can lift most Pokemon but anything heavier than a Brongzong would start to give her trouble.

I can probably handwave this by attributing it to Hitomi's afore mentioned Training from Hell and the fact that Sakura is half human.  Calien on the other hand is much stronger than he looks, like I imagine he could lift a Female Cow which is 1,600 lbs if he wanted to, but he may have trouble with a 2,000 lb Bull Cow, and he can lift a Bear since they seem to weigh less than a Female Cow.  I mean keep in mind that not only is Calien not human but he also used to be a Lumber Jack and he built a couple of Log Cabins by himself so it doesn't sound that strange when you put it that way. 

It's more for amusement than practical purpose mind you, but it's an interesting thought.  I mean it's definitely not Krytonion levels of strength, but still pretty significant.  Also keep in mind that Link in Ocarina of Time can lift about 6,336 pounds with the Golden Gauntlets based on if that pillar at Ganon's tower is made out of Granite, at least according to Death Battle.

It's always interesting to hear/read stuff like that. I'll be honest, I never really gave much thought to exact height references for my characters, but reading that got me thinking....

Xhai's 5'8'', but I picture him being slim (waif-like?) with it. He's definitely on the light side due to his unique skeletal structure, and more fragile than the average human. His physical strength is lacking, too.

Aaru's 5'2'', but again, she's not particularly built, and height-wise I'd say she's pretty much done.

Saden (5'2'') and Leo (5'3'') are both in their early twenties physically, and had to have had a decent diet (pre-death, anyway) to make it as far as they did as knights, so I guess that can be justified. They're both toned as well, if only due to their training.

Shani's kind of an oddball, in that, proportion-wise, she's mostly leg. I picture her default standing position (5'7'') as being very similar to E-102 Gamma's "bent-legged" default stance in Sonic Adventure (I have the exact stance in mind, but can't think of a description that'd let me find a good reference). I only listed her "full" height (6'5'') as a reference. If she's squatting, she's probably closer to 3'0'' (and even shorter than that if she's crawling). She'd be lighter than she's listed (150lbs) if her human upper half wasn't ripped.

Ky's stats (5'5'' and 175lbs) can be handwaved easily enough. Alastor was built to fill a scouting role, and had to be light enough to maneuver through tricky terrain with little difficulty. He's probably a little on the short side, but then I seem to remember most Reploids being fairly average in terms of height, with only characters like Sigma and Signas being notable in that regard. He's definitely stronger than he looks, but as he's a combat model, that's to be expected.

Shu's easy enough. She turned in her early teens, and I'm willing to bet her weight (90lbs) includes all the toys she keeps stashed on her person. Those chainsaws can't be particularly light, anyway. Again, she's stronger than she looks, but that's just because she doesn't have to worry about physical limits for stuff like that to any real degree, being dead and all.


Mika's closest to Sakura's height (5'1''), but she's pretty much done growing, and she's slim with it due to malnourishment. It's not likely her physique will ever adjust for the months she spent living on Cup Noodles and Pocky, at any rate.

I'm still writing her bio, but according to the RWBY wiki, Ruby's stats put her at 5'2''. She doesn't have a weight listed, but I was gonna futz that anyway to account for her status as a Copy-Bot (along with certain unique internal features.) Her physical strength'll be disproportionate but not ludicrous, if everything I have planned makes sense when I finish writing it.

Bleh, this one fought me for a long time. Hopefully, it came out alright.

Disclaimer: I don't own the character of Ruby Rose. I might have some minor claim to the Robo-Clone version, though.

Personal Disclaimer: Ky's rant towards the end of this isn't intended to upset or offend anyone, and I apologise in advance if that ends up being the case. It certainly wasn't my intention.  '>.>

Oh, and the final bit? That's my intended lead-in for introducing Ky and Ruby into Wilypocalypse. Hopefully. Xhai and/or Shani currently stand as the candidate(s) for ManaVerse.

With this, the gang's all present for now. Im'ma hold off on bringing any of my other characters back for a while so I can focus on the ones currently present.

Hope you guys enjoy, and please remember, feedback and criticism are always welcome!  8)

It's so dark....

Is anyone out there?.....

Hello....?

Whatever I did, I'm sorry!

RPM Junkyard, early morning

Ky shot a bored look skyward, and gave an audible sigh. Turning, he addressed his companion. "Yo, Birdy, why're we here again?"

Xhai paused in his inspection of a particularly large pile of scrap metal, and responded with an irritated glance. "Mika gave us a list of things she needed and asked us to start looking here, remember? And don't call me "Birdy"."

Ky smirked. "You got it, Feathers. Seriously, though. What are we looking for specifically?"

Xhai resisted the urge to facepalm at Ky's retort, and instead consulted the list he'd been given. If he was being honest with himself, he could barely make sense of what was written on it, and was inwardly grateful that his pink-haired friend had deigned to include a basic description of each item. At least he had a vague idea of what some of this stuff looked like. Though quite why she'd insisted he bring Ky of all people along was beyond him. He seemed to remember her saying something about using the robot as a packhorse, but so far he hadn't found a single thing she'd said she'd needed. Shaking his head, he turned his full gaze on his comrade. "Ky, if you're so bored, why don't you go take a nap in the car or something? I'll call you if I need you."

Ky shrugged. "Fine by me. If you consider what you're doing from a robot's point of view, this is pretty friggin' grim anyway."

Xhai blinked, not understanding what Ky was getting at. Ky pointed at the badly-rusted husk of a Sniper Joe, sprawled at the foot of a pile of weather-beaten cars. "Junkyards are pretty much robot graveyards. You, my friend, are a grave-robber. Can you live with that on your conscience?" He shot the demi-falcon an irreverent grin and sauntered off before Xhai could respond.

Xhai gave another confused blink before shaking his head and turning back to the task at hand.



Ky wandered aimlessly through the junkyard, his eyes fixed on the cloudless blue sky above him. He had intended to take Xhai up on his suggestion and head back to the car, but he found he was suddenly feeling rather restless. and figured a walk might help him gather his thoughts. Perching himself on the edge of an old washing machine, he stared up at the sky again.

"Zakura loved days like this.....wonder where she is right now?"

It was rare for Ky to reminisce. These days things seemed to be moving a mile a minute, what with Xhai's old friends seemingly crawling out of the woodwork, and even before his "death" at the hands of borockman he'd never really had time to just sit and daydream like this. Running a rebellion was hard work, and not something he'd particularly enjoyed now that he'd had ample time to consider it.

"Really, everything I did was for her.....If that old fool had been willing to listen....maybe things would've turned out differently...

Leaning back, he closed his eyes and reached out over the wireless network. With a little luck, he'd find a halfway decent radio station to listen to while he waited for Xhai to finish whatever it was he was doing. Relaxing a little more, he folded his arms behind his head and idly "thumbed" through the frequencies he'd picked up.

Country.....country.....oh hey, Rush, cool.....rap....hello.....?.....country....wait, what?"

He flicked back through his queue. One of those hadn't sounded like a radio at all.

....lone.....please......

It was a credit to his reflexes that he didn't fall off his perch as he bolted upright, eyes going wide in shock. This signal was....! Concentrating, he focused on the signal and pushed his conciousness out over the network, intent on following it back to the source.....



Wireless Network/Cyberspace

His progress was halted by one of the largest and most complex firewalls he'd ever seen. He paused, examining it, and mentally cursed up a storm when he figured out what it was.

"I thought I recognised this coding pattern.....the Doctor again...."

Taking a metaphorical step back, he examined the firewall again, more focused this time, and another wave of frustration surged from him when he realised it was dual-coded. He could crack the protection on the incoming side, but he'd need to do the same on the outgoing side before the damned thing would come down. Unfortunately, even with that knowledge, he'd need a stronger connection to this mysterious signal if he was ever going to be able to do more than scratch it. Reigning himself in, he got as close to it as he dared, and briefly flared his presence, hoping to attract the attention of whoever it was that was apparently on the other side.



???

.......

......?

....Is someone there?

......I can't move.....

....Whoever's there, can you hear me?




Wireless Network/Cyberspace

"....Whoever's there, can you hear me?"

Ky breathed a mental sigh of relief when he got a response. He'd taken a big risk in announcing his presence like that, but it seemed his gambit had paid off. The response was faint, almost as though the one speaking to him was still a great distance away, but he'd cope with that. Taking another tentative step towards the firewall, he called out.

"Yes, I can hear you.....-" He paused, unsure of how to proceed. "-...I guess you'll want some help with this barrier, hm?"

There was a long moment of silence, and for a moment Ky thought he'd said the wrong thing....again, but the response he got wasn't quite what he expected.

".....You'll.....help me? Please!"

The voice sounded almost frantic. Ky frowned. What the hell was going on? He shook his head. The first thing he needed to do was try and get a better connection. Keeping his voice level, he called out again.

"Yes, I'll help you, but I need a stronger hold on your signal to do it. Could you do something to let me know where you are?"

For a moment, he felt the other presence grow stronger, before it faded again. With a speed that belied his normal, casual air, he latched onto the point he'd felt it emanate from and his eyes went wide.

It's in the junkyard!?

The voice spoke up again, weaker than before.

"Sorry.....I can't do any more.....so tired...."

The connection was growing weaker by the second, so Ky pushed a strong feeling of gratitude through it, and broke the link with a final statement.

"Sit tight. I'll find you, I promise.



RPM Junkyard, mid-morning

Ky hopped from his perch as his conciousness returned, and he shot a calculating look around his surroundings, trying to use the data he'd gotten from the brief link he'd shared to work out where he was headed. His sensors finally locked on to a very faint distress signal coming from somewhere east of his current position. Making a note of his current location, he turned and jogged back to where he'd left Xhai. The demi-falcon hadn't moved too far from his original position, and stood up to greet Ky when he came running up.

"Yo. Something wrong?"

Ky was unusually serious when he responded. "You might say that" He turned to stare into the distance. "Going to need your help, I think. You mind coming with?"

Xhai blinked, taken aback by his comrade's sudden shift in attitude. "Sure. Lead the way."



"Here? You sure?"

Xhai cast a dubious look at the large pile of -thankfully inactive- Rabid Mets that dominated the middle of the yard in front of him. Ky strode past him and started tossing the bodies to one side. "Yes. I'm sure. Now stop asking questions and give me a hand."

Taken aback by the irritation in the normally laid-back android's voice, Xhai did as asked, and found himself staring in shock as Ky eventually pulled a small, black clad figure from the depths of the pile.

Laying the figure on the ground in front of him, the two got a better look at their find. It was a young-looking girl, clad solely in a black, mesh-like undersuit. The exposed skin on her hands and feet sported numerous small tears, and small flashes of silver could be seen from underneath if the light caught them in the right way. Her hair was an inky-black, turning to a deep crimson at the tips. Her face was stained, presumably by coolant leaking from one of the Mets she'd been buried under, but it was the sightless grey eyes that caused Ky's anger to spike despite himself. His sensors swept across the form of the girl, scanning for damage and anything that may present a problem if and when he managed to get her back on her feet. He knelt, and was just about to attempt to reconnect with her on the network, when Xhai's hand on his shoulder stopped him short. The demi-falcon's expression was stony, his eyes betraying nothing, and when he spoke his voice was tight with barely concealed anger.

"Woah, woah, woah. What the hell are you doing? You see those wounds? If she's a robot she's probably one of his."

Ky would admit he was slightly surprised by the amount of venom injected into that last word. He took a moment to formulate a response, knowing why Xhai had reacted in such a way. He'd been told what had happened to two members of Xhai's group before he'd reawakened in Alastor's body, and it seemed that particular incident was still weighing on his friend's mind. Keeping his tone level, he met Xhai's gaze evenly.

"I'm helping her. Yes, she's probably one of the Doctor's, but I don't see how that's relevant. She needs help, and I'm in a postion to help. Be honest with yourself, Xhai. Are you seriously telling me you're okay with just leaving her here?"

If Xhai had caught the subtle rebuke, he didn't acknowledge it. "How do you know she needs help? Looks like nothing more than an empty shell to me."

Ky tapped his forehead. "I'm a robot, remember? I picked up a signal on my comms network. She's still in there, Xhai. I am NOT leaving her like this."

The two stared each other down for a long moment, before Xhai averted his gaze, apparently unwilling to argue the point.

"Fine. I won't try and stop you, but.....why do you care so much about this anyway? I've never seen you this focused before..."

Ky turned his attention back to the girl, and for a moment Xhai thought he was ignoring the question. Then, Ky's shoulders visibly slumped, and when he responded, his tone was thick with.....self-loathing?

"I care because she begged me to help. I care because she reminds me of a promise I made to someone a long time ago.....a promise I couldn't keep." He turned back to face his friend, a loose grin decorating his features. "And besides, when a cute girl asks for help you don't say no, y'know?" Seeing the wary expression on the brunette's face, his expression softened slightly. "Look, I get why you're concerned, I do. But....could you really live with yourself if you just ignored this?"

 Xhai scowled. THAT had been something of a low-blow. Ky wasn't quite finished, though.

"If it makes you feel any better, you have my word that I'll take full responsibilty for anything that may come about as a result of what I'm about to do."

If Xhai responded, Ky didn't hear it. He'd already reconnected to the network and reached out for that presence again....



Wireless Network/Cyberspace

Taking a moment to reorient himself, Ky scowled at the sight of the firewall. Flaring his signal again, he was relieved when he felt the other presence respond, and a faint, indistinct figure materialised on the other side of the barrier. The girl spoke again, her voice tinged with surprise.

"You came back!"

Ky bowed his head. "I promised you I would. I can take this barrier down, but I'll need your help to do it."

The girl was silent for a moment. "But....I don't know how to....-"

Smiling, he pushed a little more on the link and sent a wave of what he hoped was reassurance along it. "Just relax. I'll tell you exactly what you need to do, okay?"

He explained what he'd discovered while analyzing the firewall, and the girl nodded her head eagerly. She moved further down the length of the barrier, and stood waiting for his signal. Ky studied the barrier again, and finally raised a hand, holding it over the portion his analysis had identified as "his" side of the lock. The girl mirrored his motion, and after another moment to confirm her positioning was correct, they struck as one, hands sinking deep into the barrier in an eyeblink and withdrawing just as quickly. A few seconds passed, and Ky was beginning to think he'd gotten it wrong, when cracks started to spider-web their way from the points of impact, picking up speed as they travelled outwards. Finally, the barrier collapsed on itself, sending a shockwave through the network. Flashing the girl a thumbs-up, Ky withdrew from the network and reawakened in the real world, shuddering as he did so. The girl spasmed violently and went still, though her eyes sported a faint glow that hadn't been there before. Ky grinned. He'd helped with the hard part, now the rest was on her.



DrWilyII's base, location unknown

DrWilyII looked up from his magazine as a light started blinking on his computer. Scooting his chair over, his fingers ghosted across the keyboard as he read the report he'd just received. Steepling his fingers for a moment, he lapsed into thought. At length, he reached over to a panel at his side and tapped a series of commands in. He'd planned for this eventuality.



RPM Junkyard

"What did you just do?"

Ky turned around at the question. Xhai was still casting wary glances at the still-prone form of the girl, but he couldn't quite keep the curiosity from his tone. It took the android a few seconds to compose an answer that his friend would understand. Describing the network to anyone that didn't already know about was a difficult prospect even at the best of times. He'd admit that part of his response was likely nothing more than conjecture, but if he knew the one responsible as well as he thought he did, it made more sense than any of the alternatives he'd considered.

"I'll spare you the technical stuff, but basically the old man locked her personality away and just dumped her here. In human terms, I guess the closest thing I could equate it to is lobotomising somebody then just tossing them out onto the street."

Xhai still didn't seem at ease. "Why would he do that?"

Ky shrugged. "Only he could answer that question with any certainty. She might be able to tell us, but..."

Xhai raised a questioning eyebrow. "But...?"

Ky's expression turned serious again, his tone oddly flat, as though he were trying to keep his emotions from showing. "If he's disowned her like this, chances are good he mind-wiped her first. It doesn't seem like he tampered with her personality at all, aside from suppressing it, but I'd be surprised if she could remember anything meaningful from before I met her on the network."

Xhai's eyes turned glassy and unfocused for a second, before his expression tightened. What Ky had said had apparently struck a chord with him and managed to force his initial objections to the side, if only briefly. "So, what do we do now?"

Moving his attention back to the girl, Ky reached out to her over the network and requested a status update. The automated systems responded quickly enough, and he frowned as he studied the data. "She's still trying to reboot. If I'm understanding this correctly, she's missing about three quarters of her programming, and that's caught her in a feedback loop. Gimme a sec." He shifted his focus back to the network and gently pushed through the still-weak defensive systems now protecting her core programming. It took another minute to locate her activation protocols, and about half that to locate the issue. Reaching out, he took a gentle hold of her core program and steered it around the mass of corrupted data that was preventing her from waking. He felt a brief spike of irritationconfusionhappiness from her, and withdrew once more.

Blinking his eyes back into focus, he requested another status update, and smiled at what he got. He turned back to Xhai even as the girl shifted slightly, fingers twitching as more of her systems reactivated. "There. She should be wide awake soon, though she'll probably be pretty confused. Xhai, please try to avoid scaring her, yeah?"

Xhai was silent, but nodded. Inwardly, his desire to help was warring with the trust issues he'd developed following Luna and Typhon's betrayals. It wasn't until the rational part of his brain reminded him that neither one of them would've wanted that that he was able to push the issue from his mind. He gave a weak smile and nodded again. "I'll do my best. Heh....looks like our little band of misfits and outcasts might've just grown by one, no?"

Ky was about to respond when his defensive systems screamed at him as they detected an incoming teleport signal. His eyes went wide with shock. "Xhai! Take her with you and get the hell out of here, now!"

Xhai look confused for a brief moment, but the urgency in his friend's voice quickly broke through and spurred him into action. "I'll see you back at the car." With that, he scooped the girl up in his arms and shot off towards the junkyard entrance. He disappeared from view scant seconds before the distinctive ba-woop of a teleport heralded the arrival of a newcomer.

Luckily for Ky, his back was to the intruder at the time, and he had a few seconds to try and formulate a plan. He'd recognised the encryption pattern on the teleport signal, it was the one DrWilyII used for his elite troops. Mind racing, a devious smirk split his face when he came up with an idea. A wonderful, horrible, terrible idea. Digging deep into his personality programming, he dredged up as much of Alastor's lingering code as he could and layered it on top of his own. A quick code-change had his eyes shifting from their usual mikado yellow colour to the deep scarlet that Alastor had sported during his time in DrWilyII's service. With any luck, this newcomer would take one look at his face and think that he was Alastor. Schooling his features into a neutral expression, he turned to face the new arrival.

He was met with the sight of a lean, humanoid figure in black and red armour. A small, shoulder-mounted flamethrower sat to the left of a smooth, featureless black mask. Straightening from it's crouch, the newcomer regarded Ky with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. "You are Alastor, correct? The Doctor's files list you as retired."

Fighting back a scowl at the disrespect in the Wilybot's tone, Ky kept his tone level and responded as he imagined Alastor would. "That's right. I was offline for a time, but I recently reactivated, and have been searching for a way back to the Doctor's side."

The newcomer tilted his head to the side, and shot a link-request across the network. Ky accepted, and pushed Alastor's code to the forefront again, pulling his own presence back to try and escape from the stranger's notice for now. He was apparently successful, as the Wilybot maintained the connection. They exchanged status reports, and Ky was intrigued at the apparent disconnect between the other android's physical status and it's mental status.

A reploid body.....with the AI of a Fortress Boss? What the hell is the Doctor thinking?"

After another moment, the newcomer nodded, and shifted it's gaze to study the area around it. Ky remained still while he digested the information he'd unknowingly been handed, and began to ponder the implications of it. He was snapped from his musings when the newcomer spoke again. "Very well. Since you appear to still be loyal to the Doctor, I think he'd approve if I enlisted your aid in my mission. My name is Typhon, and I have been tasked with locating and eliminating a rogue unit."

Ky raised an eyebrow. "Rogue?"

Typhon nodded. "One of the Doctor's Copy-Bots was deemed to be a drain on resources, and was retired and left here. Somehow, it appears to have reactivated. The Doctor assures me that it remembers nothing of it's time serving him, but he has no desire to leave any potential "loose-ends" lying around. My mission is to locate this Copy-Bot and destroy it before the Resistance has a chance to potentially turn it against him."

Ky was silent for a long moment.

He's talking about that girl.....Hmph, I suppose I have no choice now....

With deliberate slowness, he began to reactivate his dormant combat subsystems, being careful to avoid Typhon's notice. Mindful of his audience, he spoke up.

"I see. Did the doctor inform you that this isn't the first time he's had to do something like this?"

Typhon seemed genuinely confused. "No. I wasn't aware this had happened before. You know differently?"

Ky gave a loose shrug. "Yeah, a long time ago. One of the original Copy-Bots.....Zakura, I think her name was. Apparently she got a little too independant for the Doctor's liking and tried to strike out on her own. He ordered her termination, but I heard she got away when one of the Big 4 intervened and destroyed the units he'd sent to retire her."

Typhon nodded. "I had heard rumours that there were traitors in the Doctor's ranks in the past. Zakura was listed as destroyed not too long ago, and it's common knowledge amongst his forces that Robo-Ky was the other traitor. He was killed by borockman sometime last year, wasn't he?"

Ky nodded, privately amused by this whole conversation. "That's what I heard. I gotta say, though, some parts of that story strike me as ringing a little false."

The Fortress Boss-turned-Reploid sounded confused. "How so?"

Now.



RPM Junkyard, same time

Xhai gently set the girl down in the passenger seat of the rental car, still slightly conflicted over his actions. Turning his head to look back in the direction he'd come from, his thoughts turned to his friend.

Hope you know what you're doing, Ky....

Movement behind him caught his attention, and he shifted to see the girl staring at him, worry and fear evident in her eyes. Seeing such human emotions reminded him of the first time he'd met Luna, and any objections he'd had regarding this girl's presence died as he shot her a warm smile and saw her return it. It was small, and carried a distinct hint of nervousness, but it was a smile nonetheless. The wind picked up around them, and the girl shivered from the cold. Before he was even concious of what he was doing, Xhai had doffed his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. She snuggled into it and shot him another smile, a genuine smile this time, before speaking.

"Thanks...."

He grinned at her. "Don't mention it."



Now.

With Typhon's question, Ky saw his moment, and he realised exactly what he wanted to do. Closing his eyes as though collecting his thoughts, he brought all of his offensive and defensive subsystems to bear, and extended his presence over the network to catch Typhon's in a vice-like grip. The Fortress Boss struggled, but his AI wasn't on the same level as Ky's, and he wasn't able to do anything other than flail uselessly, lacking the creativity required to try more esoteric methods of escape.

In the real world, Ky let the coding on his eyes revert back to normal, but kept them closed even as Typhon sank to his knees with a pained grunt, his motor controls shutting down under Ky's relentless pressure. He tried to speak, but found his vocal systems were offline too. All he could do was sit there, and listen.

Maintaining his previous conversational tone, Ky answered Typhon's query. "Well, for starters, Zakura was never a traitor. The only thing she was guilty of was managing to exceed the boundaries of her programming. She wanted freedom, and the Doctor wasn't willing to grant it, so he sent the termination units. Robo-Ky got involved because he was....attached....to her and refused to let her be lost for such a pointless reason. The whole "destroyed" thing might be accurate, but since she dropped off the radar entirely, who knows where she is right now?. As far as Robo-Ky goes, he rebelled afterwards in disgust, and you're right, he was destroyed by borockman. Funny thing, though....-" He activated the remote recall on his armour.

Typhon's eyes went wide behind his mask as "Alastor"'s armour materialised around him. The Doctor's files had listed Alastor as wearing simple blue and white armour, with nothing to really set him apart from any of the Doctor's other minions. Now, though, the reprogrammed Reploid was covered in more ornate looking white and purple, with a purple cape covering his back, from his shoulders down to his knees.

Ky flashed Typhon a manic grin as his armour finished materialising, eyes glittering with amusement. "-..."destroyed" isn't the same as "dead"." He couldn't help laughing as he caught an echo of Typhon's emotions over the network. Confusion, anger, fear all at once. He threw his head back and roared with laughter at just how lost the Fortress Boss seemed to be. Forcing himself back into a calm state, he regarded Typhon with an almost pitying look, though his tone remained light and cheery. Unfortunately for Typhon, he'd spotted an opportunity to get some things off his chest, and wasn't about to let it pass.

"Tell me something, is that smug, jumped-up prick boforte still mouthing off to anyone who'll listen about how great he is because he's one of the Big 4? Funny how he never mentions he only got the job because I wasn't around anymore. Heh, if you think about it, he's the USAgent to my Captain America. It's kinda sad, honestly. I'd be more inclined to take him seriously if his main weapon wasn't [tornado fang]ing durians. The biggest, baddest group of 'bots under Doc's command, and his go-to beatstick is a crappy borockman knockoff that attacks people by throwing fruit at them? Ridiculous......although, now that I think about it, producing underwhelming crap seems to be all the old man's good for these days. I will admit there ARE exceptions. The Copy-Bots are an amazing idea, but I'll get to those in a second. For now, let's look at the evidence, shall we? We have boforte, who -as I've mentioned- is a crappy borockman knockoff. We have buns, who's a crappy Roll knockoff, and now we have you, a Fortress Boss who thinks it's a Reploid. What's the phrase....."You can't polish a turd?"....doesn't matter how much he upgrades your body or how many pretty toys he outfits you with, it's never going to amount to any more than dolling a Push-Bike up to look like a Harley. Sure, it looks pretty, but it'll never perform to the same standard. Now that I think about it, he seems to have made a career out of stealing other people's ideas. He's great at conceptualising, but innovating? Have you seen some his "Robot Masters"? Vuvuzela Man? Coffee Man? Let's be honest, in terms of his original ideas, he's the Ken Penders of evil geniuses. Able to copy, but can't create worth a damn. I'd call the Copy-Bots the exception, but even then, the proof is in the name."

Taking a slow step forward, he crouched to look Typhon in the face, his tone and expression turning serious and almost....sad.

"But that's the thing. You could be so much more than what you are. Hell, every single robot he has could be so much more if he was willing to let them think for once. The Copy-Bots are the only truly decent idea he's had in years, and even then they're so heavily restricted by their programming it's a wonder they're not all a bunch of drooling idiots. Creating an AI so advanced it can actually pass for human is an amazing feat, and one he should be proud of. Instead, he's so afraid they'll get sick of his [parasitic bomb] that as soon as one of them starts exhibiting any kind of truly independent thought, BOOP - RESET BUTTON. Look at Zakura, look at that girl you came here to kill. He's decided they have to die, when all they appear to have done is exactly what they've been built to do, and that's just live. It wouldn't take much, just a couple extra lines of code, and you could have a mind like mine. Free, governed only by your own thoughts. S'why he always tried to keep me happy, y'know? He couldn't put me under his thumb like all his other mooks, much as I'm sure he'd have liked to. The truly sad part is, he's never going to do that. He'll never let you, or any of his other minions, off the leash because he's afraid the first thing you'll do is abandon him. He's afraid of being alone, so instead of trying to cultivate meaningful relationships with other people, he builds a bunch of fawning, sycophantic yes-bots whose sole purpose in life is to cater to whatever ridiculous whims he's decided he has that day."

He broke off for a moment to clamp down on Typhon's struggles over the network before resuming his speech.

"I'll let you in on a little secret that a good friend of mine told me. Zakura, that girl and that Copy-Bot PB aren't the only WilyBots to have broken their programming and earned their freedom. There were two more, but he found them and dragged them back. My friend and I are determined to rescue them, but I really don't know if we can save them both. All I'll say is this: If he hasn't mind-[tornado fang]'d you too badly, you should know both of them very well."

Rising from his crouch, he tore through Typhon's mental defences and fiddled his activation protocols so the Fortress Boss would regain access to his systems on a time-delay, before slamming a boot into his face and pinning him to the ground under his heel. Fishing a cellphone out from a compartment on his forearm, he snapped a quick picture of something and strode from the clearing, leaving Typhon flat on his back, unable to do anything other than stare at the sky above him. Pausing at the very edge of the clearing, he called over his shoulder. "Take a message back to the old man for me, would ya? If he still wants that girl dead, he can send anyone he wants. Just tell him not to send anyone he wants back". With that final threat hanging in the air, he left and headed to the place Xhai said he'd be waiting.



Xhai hefted the bundle into the trunk of the car just as Ky appeared from around the corner. Quirking a brow at the sight, the Reploid asked "What's that? You find something important?"

Xhai slammed the trunk closed and turned to his friend, an audible shrug in his voice. "I 'unno. Ruby said she'd lost something important, so I went looking. Apparently, I found it."

Ky blinked. "Ruby?"

Xhai shot him an odd look. "That girl you were so insistent we help? Her name's Ruby Rose, but she prefers Ruby. Oh, and sorry, but you'll need to ride in the back on the way home, she's kinda fallen asleep in the passenger seat."

Ky shot a glance through the window. Sure enough, Ruby was snuggled in the passenger seat, sleeping peacefully with Xhai's jacket still wrapped around her. He smiled at the sight. Knowing he'd been able to help her was worth all the trouble he'd probably just brought onto his head. Once she woke up, he'd have to find a way to stop the Doctor from tracing her. Wouldn't do for Xhai to have his home attacked again, especially after Ky had promised to take responsibility for taking her in. Shrugging, he popped a rear door open and slid inside. "Fair enough. Um, I might have let DrWilyII know I'm still alive, by the way."

Xhai, who'd just strapped himself into the driver's seat and started the ignition, shot him a look over his shoulder. "What did you do?"

Ky just grinned.



The following day, the citizens of RPM -and some of the outlying Orbital Stations- were surprised to see a long-dormant social media account listing a new activity. A single photo of a young-man clad in white and purple armour, standing proudly over a fallen robot met their eyes, along with a caption:

"Just roflstomped one of DrWilyII's Elite Mooks. LOL. #RideTheLightning #DESTROYED."[/spoiler]

Oh, that's good then. I'm glad.  8)

Regarding my getting back into Wilypocalypse, I figured someone in the Resistance would see the selfie that Ky posted at some point. From there, an unrelated call to the "help-for-hire" business for assistance with the battle against Doc, and I have my in. Ky's there for personal reasons (though I've no doubt he'd be the "untrustworthy ally" for a lot of the Resistance members given his history), and Ruby's there because she wants to help.

Actually, if it helps you visualise Ruby's character a little.....When she's calm, she's still kinda fidgety, but when she gets really excited or worked up about something, her speech and movements kinda make her resemble Blurr (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOYOjIC51PA) from Transformers (check 0:32-0:41 and 6:20-6:28 for examples.)

I'm debating writing her dialogue normally for the most part, but then speedingthingsupintoasinglerunonsentencewithnobreaks for when she gets really hyped. Would that be too much?

Yeah and I can explain that Sakura can't fix her the way she is because Blue is on some sort of lockdown and she can't get through that because Blue is the most Advanced Robot in the RP because she's so Alien.

Here's the hierarchy of Robots Specs as I know so far.

Rabid Met -> Zet the Zettaur (He can do more complex tasks compared to the Rabid Mets and other typical Mets) -> Disco Galaxyman (specific example since he's in the Sex Station Brig)/typical Robot Master -> Fortress Boss -> Asch/Borock-bot/other Copy-bots -> Borockman (since he has the variable weapons system) -> Robo-Ky/lastor and Zeta (Zeta maybe be slightly higher on the scale if she is a Reploid with her creator unknown) -> Sinos (I'm putting him here because he has ridiculous capabilities and he is definitely a Reploid) -> Ruby (She'll probably be this when she gets all her Cores back but at the moment she's probably on Asch and Borock-bot level) -> Blue (Wtf is this, how do you work, God tier Robot status on specs alone)

That hierarchy sounds about right if you're basing it off what I came up with, Sakura.

Incidentally, I've made a couple of minor edits to Xhai's appearance that I can't reflect in his character picture. These apply to his appearances both in ManaVerse and in Wilypocalypse/in general.

- He's given his jacket to Ruby (she wears it round her neck as a cape of sorts, much like he used to back when he was a cyborg), and now wears a dark green Traveller's Cloak (http://www.cloakmaker.com/gen/cloaks/images/2724d_th.png) instead.
- I've based his hair off of Mitsunari Ishida (http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/s__/images/a/a4/SB4_CGI_SS_-_Mitsunari.png/revision/latest?cb=20140125200122&path-prefix=sengokubasara). Brown and unruly at the back (meant to evoke ruffled feathers), with a blonde fringe that looks like a beak. Given his raptor eyes, he looks a lot more like a falcon now than he did previously.

Oh, and uh, I'm curious to know how Doc reacted to Ky's selfie. Heh....  '>.>

Her base form is crazy strong-and durable as well as agile but lacks ranged combat ability, her other elemental forms give her more utility but can't be switched between them rapidly (meaning she has to commit or risk damage) as well as weaknesses.

Her Omni-Form was the result of absorbing all the elements and it made her pretty god like-it was meant as a one off form though since her energy for it isn't permanent like other forms. (As such it's broken for an exciting "final boss" fight)

No idea how her strengths compare to other characters-some of them have some very unique powers I'm sure could give Blue a run for her money. Plus Blue isn't a tactical genius in anyway-she's pretty much a hit things hard and if that doesn't work hit it harder.  8D

Blue's strategy would work wonders against most of my characters then.  XD Ruby, Xhai and Shani are brittle as glass if they're taking damage, Shu and Mika aren't really fighters at all and Saden's just a regular human.

WARNING: WALL O'TEXT INCOMING.

Just threw some stuff together regarding Xhai's backstory. Some of this is only applicable to ManaVerse, but I figure I can retcon what I posted originally to fit the basics into the "modern"/WilyPocalypse canon, too.

As always, feedback's appreciated.

[spoiler]Temple of the Shining Winds

- Located in a mountain range, just under cloud-level, the Temple of the Shining Winds is dedicated to the Bird Deity. The temple is actually split into two sections. The lower half, located below the clouds, is the larger of the two and houses the majority of the Temple's residents. Facilities here include the kitchens, dining hall, library, gathering hall and training room for the Unwinged. The upper half, located above the clouds, serves as the home for the Elders of the Temple, the Winged, and the Grand Master. A portion of this level is accessible from the lower section, and houses the Warbirds currently in the care of the Temple. The rest of this level is only accessible by the Winged.

The Bird Deity

- The Bird Deity lives at the very peak of the mountain on which the Temple is built, and the warriors and scholars who reside in the Temple serve as guardians for it. It's true form is unknown, and only the Grand Master of the Temple is allowed to approach it's nest, but stories tell that it is the entity from which all birds of the land were created. As such, those who form a connection to it and become warriors may adopt characteristics of almost any flight-capable avian, from Eagles and Falcons, Sparrows and Pigeons, and even more exotic species such as Parrots and Flamingoes. It is rumoured to spend most of it's time in flight, circling the world. It's wingbeats can create or calm the most violent of storms, and it can shape the very air around it to create anything it desires. Or so the legends say.....

Warriors of the Temple

- The warriors of the Temple have a deep affinity with birds, and are split into two groups depending on their current skill level - Winged and Unwinged. Their physical forms are altered, and many Winged resemble either Featherfolk (http://wiki.rageofbahamut.com/images/2/25/Rino%2C_Spinning_Featherfolk1.jpg) or Harpies (http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/unisonleague/images/5/51/Gear-Harpy_Render.png/revision/latest?cb=20150713152906).
- Unwinged warriors must first prove their worthiness by completing a task given to them by either the Grand Master or one of the Elders. This is usually a "go hunt this" kind of mission, but occasionally it will be a "go learn of the world" kind of mission. Successfully completing this task will see them rewarded with a secondary transformation that literally grants them their wings, and from then on they are considered full-fledged warriors and are taught more of the complex skills and powers granted to them by their link to the Bird Deity.
- Aside from physical changes wrought by their transformations (enhanced eyesight, hollowed bones, etc.), most warriors are capable of manipulating the air around them for both offensive and defensive purposes. Uses of this include forming blades of razor-sharp wind around their limbs for attack, or altering the composition of the air to suffocate their enemies. The Unwinged are capable of forming wind-blades with little visible effort, but require the use of more physical gestures if they intend to use their air manipulation. The more powerful among the Winged are said to be able to create hurricanes with naught but the slightest twitch, while newer Winged find it less taxing to use their abilities to the fullest. It takes a great deal of time and training to reach the heights set by the Veterans, after all.

Winged and Unwinged

- "Unwinged" is a term used to describe those who have been chosen as warriors of the Temple, and have been partially transformed in preparation for this role, but have yet to be considered truly worthy. Typically, Unwinged warriors possess visible traits of their link to the Bird Deity, but the severity of these changes varies depending on the individual. Sometimes it's little more than an change of the eyes to more closely resemble the bird they're tied to. More extreme cases see the individual's body becoming more bird-like, such as their feet transforming into talons, or their hair changing to feathers. The type of bird an Unwinged will resemble serves as a reflection of their innermost selves. Those who desire to fight or protect will often assume the forms of more aggressive birds, such as Falcons and Hawks, while more gentle-minded individuals will assume the forms of "softer" species, such as Doves and Sparrows. The truly quirky ones typically take the forms of exotic birds, such as Parrots, Flamingoes and Toucans.
- The "Winged" are full-fledged warriors of the Temple. and as the name suggests, sport a pair of wings on their back that allows them, with time and training, to fly just like the species they're tied to.

Notable Residents of the Temple

- Xhai - Osprey, currently Unwinged: A warrior trainee, Xhai is capable of forming Wind-blades around his fingers, and can create "bubbles" of altered air with enough effort. He's struggling to master his skills at the moment, but has apparently been deemed worthy enough that he's been offered a chance to earn his wings. The only physical signs of his link to the Bird Deity are his raptor-like eyes, and the beak-like fringe of his hair.
- Maia - Scarlet Macaw, Winged: Xhai's best friend since his childhood, Maia only recently earnt her wings, but has proven to be a natural in the air. Aside from her multicoloured wings, she has bright-red hair, decorated with a variety of multicoloured feathers and has more harpy-like legs than some of the other warriors.
- The Elder - Golden Eagle, Winged: The Elder is a retired warrior who now serves as the Head Librarian of the Temple. He's fond of recounting the many legends regarding the bird-deity, and was the one who offered Xhai the opportunity to prove himself as a warrior. Like Xhai, his eyes are the only outward sign of his transformation, aside from the massive, greying wings he sports on his back.
- Lucius - Barn Owl, Winged: The instructor for all Unwinged and newly-minted Winged, Lucius has a no-nonsense approach to most things and is know for being particularly humourless. His eyes are noticably larger than most of the other warriors of the Temple. and like the Owl he's linked to, he can rotate his neck almost 180 degrees, making him one of the more unsettling examples of what transformations can do.
- The Grand Master - Rumoured to be a Phoenix, Winged: Few have seen the Grand Master, as he rarely leaves his chambers near the peak of the mountain. A legendary figure amongst the current crop of warriors, his power in combat is said to be second only to that of the Bird Deity itself.[/spoiler]

Apologies for the double-post, but I've been mulling over some ideas for my next oneshot and wanted to see if anyone would be willing to offer their opinions.

I've got three ideas floating around in my head at the moment:

- A day in the life of "Lunamaria"/Copy-Bot Luna following her return to DrWilyII's side. Set in current Wilypocalypse Canon.
- A "meeting of the minds" with the portions of Project RWBY still under Doc's control. Set in current Wilypocalypse Canon.
- A flashback to the days before Ky's attempted rebellion. Haven't decided whether this'd just be a day in the life or recounting the events that caused him to rebel in the first place.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Darn... I like all of them! XD

But... The one I wanna read first... I guess... Ky's prior life before his rebellion.

Sure, not a problem. Already got an idea for what I wanna do with that one anyway. Planning to recount the event(s) that led to the rebellion in the first place. Sorry to ask, but if you get time and can remember any of the details, could you PM a cliff-notes version of why you turned evil genius instead of just morally ambiguous genius? Might help me get my facts straight so I'm not muddling the backstory up even more than I probably already have.  '>.>

I'll get the other two done at some point as well, but this one takes priority. Man, between IRL stuff, my writing and the Wrestling Thread, I'm not gonna be bored for quite a while.  8)

Just gonna copypasta some stuff I've been discussing with DrWilyII regarding the future of some of my characters. Next oneshot's about 50% done.

Regarding Weiss, Blake and Yang's eventual appearances:
Quote
In the meantime, I had an idea regarding the fates of the remaining members of Project RWBY. Ruby herself was ditched, but the other three are presumably still loyal to DrWilyII. Since they originally needed Ruby to "project" them, being solid holograms and all, it figures that they'd lose that ability in her absence. Since I also figured DWII wouldn't wanna waste time and resources building proper bodies for them, he found an alternative (http://reddwarf.wikia.com/wiki/Hologram).

Quote
I think my plan for them going forward is to have them show up as "soft-light" holograms for the most part, switching to "hard-light" whenever they need to get anything done (fighting, opening doors, etc.) The "physical requirements" bits on the Hologram page explain most of what they'd be capable of.

Regarding the Copy-Bots on my character roster:

Quote
I've also had ideas regarding making the two Copy-Bots more distinct from the source material. For Ruby, the idea I have right now is for her to be badly damaged at some point during Wilypocalypse, necessitating an entirely new body. I'm planning to have Ky provide Sakura with his (reploid) body's tech specs and ask her to build a body based off of those. Means I can get away with giving Ruby a more Reploid-like look with regards to her outfit, and deal with some of her weaknesses just like Sakura originally asked to do.

For Luna.....how do I explain this.....she's basically been upgraded and now *is* her Gundam as well. Instead of piloting a full-size Zaku II, she's wearing armour that - when she's fully activated it - makes her look like a Zaku (complete with any extra bits to help her move around), and she's carrying human-sized versions of the Zaku's weapons, too.

And finally, regarding Ky/Robo-Ky: Since he's a big part of the next oneshot, and it's the first time I think I've ever written pre-crash Ky, I think I need to make a distinction between his two incarnations.

- "Ky" is the character currently operating in the Wilypocalypse RP as well as my current headcanon. He's inhabiting a reploid body and his mental state (going by the hierarchy I drew up a while back that seems to have been adopted as canon already) is a very high-end Type-4, approaching Type-5.
- "Robo-Ky" is him before his rebirth, but this version of him technically stopped existing shortly before his rebellion began (the oneshot explains this, don't worry). The difference between them is that while "Ky" has a full set of human emotions and the ability to process them in a natural fashion, "Robo-Ky" is/was kind of a sociopath. He lacked any kind of genuine emotion, but was able to mimic them (sadness, anger, pride, etc.) with a fair degree of success after observing them in other people. He didn't/couldn't understand them, though, and his overall mindset was far more mechanical in nature than most of DrWilyII's other servants at the time. While Zakura *was* important to him, he wasn't able to articulate why. His place on the hierarchy would be somewhere between Type-3, leaning a little towards Type-4 (being a copy of Ky Kiske, but without the "human" aspects of his personality).


Hopefully, I've explained everything in a way that makes sense to everyone, but if you'd like clarification on anything, just ask, OK?  :)

Apologies for how in-depth I'm getting with this stuff. This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands.  '>.>

This one.....I hope it came out alright. There's some stuff here that's implied but not outright stated, so I hope the ideas I was intending to hint at came across OK. As always, any questions, feel free to ask.

Here we go, then. The story of why Robo-Ky decided to rebel against DrWilyII. This is intended to be compliant with WilyPocalypse canon, if that matters.

Flashback Episode - Storms on the Horizon

[spoiler]Refurbished Wily Star, Date Unknown

Ky looked up from his book as the lounge door slide open with a muted hiss, and a tired looking Zakura staggered in, collapsing heavily on the couch next to him and rubbing her eyes with the palms of her hands. His head ticked to the side, and his mouth-light dimmed at the corners in a rough approximation of a smile. The tinny, robotic monotone of his voice seemed to snap her out of her daze when he spoke. "Rough meeting?"

She initially responded with a tired sigh, and turned her head to meet his gaze. When she finally answered, she sounded exhausted, and there was something flickering behind her eyes that Ky found he couldn't place. "You might say that.......would you mind if we had a serious discussion?"

Making a mental note of the page number he was on, Ky closed his book and set it down next to him. "I have time. The observation deck, then?"



Refurbished Wily Star, Observation Deck

The two sat in silence for a long time, simply staring out at the vast expanse of stars that stretched out in front of them. The deep azure globe of Planet Websitia continued to spin beneath them. Ky found he was beginning to get bored when Zakura finally spoke up again.

"Hey, Ky? Do you feel like the Doctor's changed recently?"

Ky cupped his chin, mimicking the thoughtful pose he'd seen others adopt on occasion. "I haven't noticed any distinct changes. He looks the same as always to me." - He snapped his fingers as a realisation struck him - "Oh! You meant a change in mental terms, right? I wouldn't know. Humans are such complicated creatures....."

Zakura sighed and drew her knees up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them in a loose hug and lowering her head. "Sometimes I envy you, you know? All that intelligence without the hassle of having emotions getting in the way......" She chuckled, though there was little genuine humour in it. "And don't try to convince me otherwise. It's plain as day that you're just trying to imitate what you've seen other people do."

Ky turned his head to look at her. "Jealous of me? That should be my line. I've always wondered what it'd be like to feel. You're right when you said I'm just mimicking people. Mostly I'm mimicking you, though. It's still impressive to me that a human could build an AI so advanced....."

Her expression darkened, though her hair covered enough of her face to hide the fact from her companion. When she didn't respond, Ky knew he had to say something, and it took him a moment to puzzle out the best way to broach the subject he figured was bothering her. ".....Why don't you tell me what's got you so upset?"

She shivered, and it was only prior experience in dealing with her that led Ky to shift over a little closer and drape an arm around her shoulders. She leant into him and maintained her silence for another long moment before finally speaking. Her tone was.....Ky was no expert in the subject, but he assumed it was what sadness sounded like.

"The meeting I was at......The Doctor was outlining his next attempt at taking control of the planet..." - Ky nodded in understanding. The Doctor seemed unusually driven to achieve that goal, but refused to say why - "But....he.....he didn't just want us to capture and hold places this time...." - She trailed off, grit her teeth and managed to get the important part out before she found herself unable to - "He wants a more permanent solution to that problem." The way she stressed it left Ky with no doubt what she actually meant.

Ky froze, mind already racing as he digested that little tidbit. It was no secret that the Doctor was.....he'd heard a red-haired man in sunglasses use the term "morally ambiguous" before. Human morals were still something he had little understanding of, but the tone he'd heard it said in implied it wasn't something to take pride in. The Doctor had always pushed for control, but had issued strict orders that his forces were to subdue and contain any attempted resistance. This....was he actively ordering....?

More important was Zakura. Ky liked to think he knew her well enough to guess what was really bothering her about what she'd just said. "You don't agree with him."

She shook her head. "No. I was fine with serving him if it meant I could get stronger, and I'd be loyal anyway, programmed or not, but.....I don't want this. I don't want this at all." She raised her head a little to meet Ky's gaze. "The worst part was the way he looked at me. I think he knows I'm not comfortable with this.....and I think he doesn't care."

Ky twitched as her earlier question came back to him. "That's what you meant when you asked me if he'd changed."

She nodded. "He's......I don't know how to phrase it.....darker. The way he was issuing orders, it's like he expected us to follow them without complaint, and when he picked up on the fact that I was uncomfortable.....I'm scared, Ky. I can't disobey a direct order from him, but I don't want to do the things I think he wants me to...."

Ky was silent while he turned the situation over in his head. He was loyal to the Doctor, and willing to do anything he was asked to, but to force a loyal creation to act against their nature? Something about that rankled with him, and he had no idea why he'd be so.....concerned?....about something like this. "I'll speak to him tomorrow. We've known each other a long time, and I should be able to talk him into reconsidering his plan. We should spend some time thinking of viable alternatives tonight."

She stared at him, eyes wide. Slowly, a shaky smile began to creep across her face, and she nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! I bet if we come up with a foolproof plan he'll definitely change his mind." She wrapped her arms around him in an awkward hug, relief evident in her tone. "Thanks, Ky." She stifled a giggle. "Who knows, maybe you could ask him to patch in some emotional programming for you, too?"

Ky's face wasn't capable of emoting much of anything, but she knew he was horrified by the idea of anyone poking around inside his head. The giggle eventually turned into full-blown laughter, and the tension in her frame slowly ebbed away. They spent the remainder of the night trading ideas while staring out at the stars.



The next morning...

The chime of an incoming teleport request caused Zakura to look up from her breakfast. She shot Ky a questioning look as he strode over to the console and hit the button to allow access. Within moments, two beams of light appeared in the centre of the room, and eventually faded to reveal the forms of the newest additions to DrWilyII's forces.

Buns gave a formal bow in greeting, while boforte just scowled and folded his arms. Ky returned the gestures with a nod, while Zakura slowly rose from her place at the table and quick-stepped to Ky's side, a look of vague apprehension on her face.

Taking a half-step forward, Ky spread his arms in welcome. "boforte, Buns, to what do we owe the pleasure?"

boforte opened his mouth, but it was Buns who cut in, her tone polite if slightly detached. "Apologies for disturbing you so early in the day, General Robo-Ky, but the Doctor was concerned about Zakura's mental state after yesterday's strategy meeting, and asked us to check in on her and make sure nothing is wrong."

Zakura did her best to quell the feeling of unease that had steadily been growing since Ky had allowed the teleports to come through, and quietly, subtly, reached out over the network. In the recesses of the manufacturing facility housed on board the Wily Star, a Mini-Ky jerked into life as a file-transfer request disturbed it's routine recharge cycle.

Ky nodded at Buns' explanation. "I see. Thank you for your concern. I must ask though.....why did he send both of you? I didn't think boforte would be particularly interested in a task like this."

boforte flashed a shark-like grin at the white-haired robot. "Well damn, sis, I think he's sussed us out. Guess there's no need for all that "subtlety" crap now, right?"

Buns shook her head, but motioned for boforte to proceed anyway. Before anyone in the room could react, boforte had somehow gotten behind Ky, forced him to his knees and planted an arm-cannon directly against the back of his neck. Zakura took a step forward to intervene, but went rigid, eyes going wide with shock as Buns' presence on the network slammed into her like a freight-train, punching clean through her defences and shutting down her motor systems.

Ky eyes flashed. "What is the meaning of this?"

Buns shot him an apologetic look while boforte's grin only got wider. "I am truly sorry for this, General, but I was not entirely truthful with you earlier. The Doctor is indeed concerned about Zakura's mental state, but his orders were to detain her and return her to him for reprogramming. boforte is here to prevent you from interfering."

Ky actually sounded surprised. "What?!"

It was boforte that answered this time. "Yeah, the old man thinks your little girlfriend might try and rebel against the orders she's been given, and he's not too happy with the thought that he might be betrayed like that, so he's gonna poke around in her head a little and get rid of anything he doesn't like the look of." Shifting his weight to prevent the older robot from standing, he huffed an exaggerated sigh. "Don't worry though, he gave strict orders that you weren't to be touched. Said you were too loyal to think about anything like that and that you'd probably go along with this. Heh, he didn't wanna take any chances though." He gave Ky an appraising look from behind his sunglasses and snorted with amusement. "Gotta say though, I'm shocked a relic like you is still considered Big 4 material. It's kinda sad how easily I took you down, element of surprise be damned. I mean, just from this little scuffle-" - he moved his arm-cannon forward, pushing Ky's head down so the robot could only look at the floor - "-I can already tell I'm faster than you, I'm stronger than you, and I'm just plain better than you."

Buns levelled boforte with a warning glare. "That's enough boforte. General Robo-Ky is not to be harmed, remember?" She turned to the still immobilised Zakura. "Forgive me for this, General Zakura."

At that, her grip on Zakura's mind tightened, and the Copy-Bot inwardly panicked as new barriers sprang up inside her regular defences. She recognised the attempt to lock her personality away almost immediately, and began frantically attacking the barriers in an attempt to resist. Buns' presence only grew tighter, and Zakura's body spasmed violently as more of its host's control slipped away.

boforte laughed at the sight, and nudged the back of Ky's head with his arm-cannon. "Ooh, your girlfriend's a [i[fighter[/i], isn't she?" Ky made another attempt to stand up, and boforte pushed his body-weight forward again, knocking Ky to the ground and planting a knee into his back to prevent him from moving at all. "Nope. You stay there until we're finished."



Zakura knew she was fighting a losing battle. She hated to think of herself as out-dated, but Buns was just too good. For every barrier she managed to destroy, another would spring up in its' place.

I can't win.....but, I'm not giving up! I'll NEVER go back to that man!

Pulling herself back, she hurriedly drew up a list of subsystems she still had access to. One in particular caught her attention. Feinting towards another barrier, she instead changed her approach and lunged for the one method of escape still open to her. She was under too much pressure to devote the proper time to making sure everything was in order, but....

Forgive me, Ky....



Buns' expression was tight with concentration as she continued her attempt to bring Zakura under control. Suddenly, she flinched as though she'd been struck, and in that brief moment, Zakura vanished in a pillar of light.

Buns' eyes widened, and boforte removed himself from Ky's back, spitting a string of curses. "What the [tornado fang]!? Where'd she go? Buns! What happened?"

Buns took a moment to compose herself, mentally replaying the last few moments of her mental struggle with the Copy-Bot. Eventually, she shook her head, disappointment clear in her tone. "I got careless. I was so focused on trapping her mind that I didn't think to shut down her remote teleport unit."

boforte swore again. "I'm guessing we can't trace her, either? Damn it!" He shot a glance over to where Ky was just beginning to pick himself up. "I think we should report this to the Doctor."

Buns nodded her agreement, and the two vanished just as Ky regained his footing.



Ky stood silently for a long time while he attempted to process everything that had just happened.

What just....? boforte said something about the Doctor not wanting Zakura to rebel....they were going to reprogram her...and she's.....

Striding over to a console on the far side of the room, he tapped a series of instructions in, and waited for the results of the station-wide scan to return.

She's....not aboard the station?

He remained silent, unsure of what to do. Asking DrWilyII for an explanation did not seem like a smart move, but he had no idea where Zakura could have gone. He was broken from his musings when the door slid open and a Mini-Ky marched in, stopping in front of him and snapping off a quick salute.

"GENERAL_KY_SIR!"

He shook himself and looked down at the Mini-Ky. "Yes?"

The Mini-Ky ejected a small memory chip from a port on its' neck and offered it to him. "GENERAL_ZAKURA_ORDERED_THAT_THIS_BE_DELIVERED_TO_YOU_ONCE_THE_VISITORS_HAD_LEFT"

Ky accepted the drive and studied it for a moment. "Thank you. Dismissed."

The Mini-Ky gave another salute and left the room, presumably to return to its recharge bay.

Ky studied the memory chip for a minute, internally weighing up the pros and cons of the actions he was considering. Deciding that something from Zakura couldn't be a threat to him, he popped the access port on his throat and slipped the chip inside, setting his systems to download whatever was on it as soon as the connection was finalised.

He almost lost his footing as something in his mind changed, the code-packet contained on the chip worming it's way into the deepest portions of his being, rewriting portions of code he'd never given any thought to in the past.

Slowly, he rose back up to a standing position as his mind stablised, confused as to what had just happened.

Wait....I'm confused? How can I be confused? I don't have the....

He trailed off as the implications of that last thought finally hit him. The next few seconds saw him running a full system scan and then staring blankly at a piece of coding he recognised, but that shouldn't be there.

That's.....Zakura's emotional subroutines? Did she.....Did she give me a copy of her emotional subroutines?

He spent the next few minutes studying his coding. His inital thought turned out to be correct, it was the coding that allowed Zakura (and presumably any other WilyBot that possessed it) to process emotions in a manner akin to a human. There were a few subtle tweaks to fit it in with his own, relatively archaic programming, but it seemed she'd given him something he never thought he'd have. His thoughts turned to the conversation he'd had with her the previous night, and he shuddered as a strong surge of warmthcomfortsafetyhappiness welled up inside him.

Is this....how I feel about her? Do I....care for her?

His thoughts then turned to the events of the last half-hour. When he replayed the memory of boforte calling him a relic, then insulting Zakura, his internal temperature skyrocketed as a white-hot flash of disbeliefconfusionhelplessnessANGER wracked his frame. He was forced to open every single cooling vent on his body, as his newfound feelings sent his temperature soaring higher with every passing second. He had no idea how long he stood there, amidst the clouds of jet-black, ember-filled steam, but eventually he managed to suppress the rage bubbling inside him and dropped to his knees, smoking from practically every piece of exposed metal he possessed. His mind was a blur as he revisited every memory he could dredge up, just to see how he reacted to things. As he did so, he slowly began to build up a mental picture of just why things had reached this point. Staggering back to his feet, he returned to his private rooms to process everything he'd just discovered.



It was an interesting sensation, Ky mused, to be holding a debate with yourself. Slouching back in his throne, he continued to piece together all the tidbits he'd uncovered during his recent bout of emotion-driven soul-searching, his newfound ability to feel holding an intense and strangely heated argument with the cold, logical portion of himself that had previously held complete domination over his mindset. Eventually, he'd determined enough that he was able to pose himself a series of questions and then provide the answers that would allow him to decide his next move.

Why did this have to happen?

The Doctor desires control. Power.

To what end?

World domination. An acknowledgment of his genius.

The world will never accept him, or his methods.

A feeling of...satisfaction?....lifted his mood as both parts of his new mindset agreed on a single course of action. The Doctor's methods would only become more extreme the more the world rejected him, and Ky held no doubt that if things were left as they were, one day everyone that served him would be subject to the same response that led to Zakura's.....He clamped down on that train of thought before it could continue.

If the Doctor is left unchecked, so many of his followers will suffer for it. If the world is left unchecked, they will drive him to even more extreme measures. Both are at fault, and so both must be corrected. If he craves acknowledgement, he will have it. If the world refuses to acknowledge him, I will MAKE the world acknowledge him!

His mouthplate lit up in a grin as a plan began to form in his mind. Rising from his throne, he headed for the teleport bay. There was a man he needed to visit.



DrWilyII swivelled round in his chair as Robo-Ky entered his office. Careful to keep his tone light, so as not to upset his General, he addressed the robot.

"Ah, Ky. I was just about to send for you. Buns and boforte reported everything to me." - He removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes tiredly before meeting Ky's impassive gaze. - "For what it's worth, I am genuinely sorry for what happened with Zakura. I could simply see no other way of ensuring her loyalty." - A wry grin split his face - "I suppose that's the problem with giving robots human intelligence and emotions....they become too used to doing things their own way to ever consider another point of view...."

Ky fought back the slight twinge of guilt at what he was about to do, and had to shut off his new emotional subroutines to avoid the anger threatening to creep into his tone. "You do not need to apologise, Doctor. I will admit I am...concerned...about what happened, but you could not have predicted that she would react in such an irrational way."

DrWilyII replaced his glasses and sighed. "I suppose in hindsight, I should've handled this situation differently. I am sorry to have caused you such trouble, Ky. Is there anything I can do to reassure you that your continued loyalty is appreciated?"

Ky was silent for a moment, but internally he was laughing like a madman.

So predictable...

"Actually, Doctor, I would like to request permission to be present for the awakening of the new group of Robot Masters. I am curious to see if the ideas I presented to you while you were designing them have borne fruit."

DrWilyII steepled his fingers together, a thoughtful expression on his face. "You DID play a role in helping me create them, didn't you?" - He nodded - "Very well. In fact, you can help them become acclimatised to the base and explain to them what their roles will be in my next plan. The resistance will never know what hit it!"

Ky nodded, and turned on his heel as DrWilyII dissolved into a fit of maniacal laughter. His faceplate lit up in an approximation of a calculating smirk as he left.

Neither will you, you old fool.....[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I know his face wasn't capable of expressing any kind of actual emotion back then, but Ky's expression at the very end:

borockman and Vixy. XD

[spoiler]But yea, that really sets up well for the plot of Robo-Ky's rebellion... And even the part of Zakura just... MIA-ing in my original mythos. IT FITS SO WELL[/spoiler]

Well, it can be noted that after the multiple failures, something cracked in DWII's mentality. Zakura's resistance, and finally Robo-Ky's rebellion (Gen9) was the trigger, explaining Gen10's slighty darker tone, and eventually, Wilypocalypse.

I gave Ky's motivation a lot of thought while I was writing this, and I came up with this. He was pretty much trying to force an Enemy Mine situation between DrWilyII and anyone else who'd be opposed to a quest for World Domination. The idea being that if Doc and the "good guys" were forced to work together, they'd be united by a common goal (Ky's defeat/destruction) and may eventually reach some sort of understanding.

A less crazy Doc means less chance of anyone else under him going through what Zakura did. Maybe not the best of plans, but his head wasn't exactly screwed on straight when he came up with it.

This also explains why he was so adamant that he be allowed to help Ruby, and I kinda hinted at why Siraj's old voice was so messed up.

.....

I just realised. If Ky ever finds out what happened to Luna and/or Typhon....

I was referring more to the "mind-wiping" thing for Typhon. Luna suffered the same fate that Zakura was supposed to have done. Perhaps not to quite an extreme degree, but still.

I admit I have a head canon that Siraj became some sort of famous celebrity but his friends can't recognize him for one reason or another.  I mean there's more to the head canon but it's not my place to expand on that.

Oh no, by all means, expand away!  8)

I'm always happy to take ideas and suggestions. What you've just mentioned is already miles better than whatever I'd have planned for him.  8)

Oh, and uh, since I've just retconned Xhai out of the main RPM canon, a slight change to Luna's backstory. She did entertain thoughts of escaping DrWilyII, but eventually decided against it. Him upgrading her into an MS Girl *may* have had something to do with it.

Ky's backstory is unchanged, and the only change to Ruby's is that Xhai wasn't present when Ky found her in the Junkyard.

As for what Ky and Ruby are doing with themselves now.....just sort of aimlessly wandering, I guess. Ky's hesitant to approach the resistance given his chequered history with them (announcing his return on social media nothwithstanding), and Ruby's sticking with him because she can't remember anything prior to be dumped in the Junkyard following her decommissioning. That said, she does feel like the colours White, Black and Yellow are significant for some reason, but has no idea why.

Wait Xhai has be retconned out of Wilypocalypse?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on April 02, 2016, 10:38:53 PM
In as much as he had a role in WilyPocalypse, yeah. Looking back over his skillset and whatnot, I figured he was a better fit for ManaVerse overall.

Gah, I'm really not explaining this properly. I know what I wanna say but actually putting it into words is difficult.

The "help-for-hire" business no longer plays an important role in the current canon because pretty much everyone responsible for the founding has been shelved, and Ky doesn't strike me as the type to settle for a humdrum life like that....at least not yet. I'm going to stick with the "He was hired to investigate the tower by a mysterious man who may or may not be DrWilyII" (who also hasn't realised just who he's hired) side of his role in things, and his other role (trolling the resistance to get their attention so he can get in on the fight against Doc) is still there, too. He's just operating independently since taking control of his new body.

That and, after looking back on it, Xhai's been little more than a side character in the recent oneshots anyway. Keeping him confined to ManaVerse for the time being will give me a chance to figure out exactly what I want him to be like as a character. It also means I don't hafta worry about trying to tie any more of Ky and Ruby's actions in to their work for a company that no longer exists. I mean, the "help-for-hire" thing never had a name anyway, so it's not much of a loss.

As mentioned before, the core group for WilyPocalypse, for me at least, is Ky, Ruby/RWBY and Luna (as and when Doc and I can agree on a time to bring her in and justifiably have her meet Ky and Ruby. Same goes for the "WBY" gang, as well.) Ky has more ties to the backstory of WP as a whole (and was arguably instrumental in kickstarting it in the first place), while Xhai was just sort of there, y'know?

Like I said, I'm probably not explaining this as well as I'd like to, but hopefully you can see what I'm getting at.  :|

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on April 03, 2016, 12:24:15 AM
I've no problem if anyone else wants to take stab at advancing the canon for any particular character. I've already given Doc permission to do whatever he likes with Typhon, so feel free to headcanon stuff as much as you like.  :)

Trimming the active character roster's as much a way of helping me keep my own head clear on stuff as it is making it easier for everyone else to keep track of things. I know my RP posts tend to be longer and generally more wordy than most, so if I have less characters to write for I should be able to trim some of them down to a more acceptable standard. Probably.

Oh, and I gave Maia the character builder treatment if anyone cares. She's just a background character in ManaVerse right now, but I figure she's important enough to have an actual appearance. Or at least a rough approximation of what I'm envisioning.

[spoiler](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/82510710/The%20Gang/Maia.jpg)
For anyone who hasn't read the supplementary stuff further back in the thread, Maia's a demi-bird like Xhai, but where he's an Osprey (post-revision, anyway. Finding out that Peregrine Falcons are technically cannibals sorta killed my enthusiasm for that idea) she's a Scarlet Macaw. Her hair should be the same shade of red as her wings, but..... *shrug*[/spoiler]

Speaking of which with Xhai retconed out of Wilypoclypse was Ky still in Siraj's cybernetics?  And how did Ky get in Alastor's body?
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on April 03, 2016, 12:35:54 AM
Ky being in Siraj's cybernetics is a yes. That whole "salvaged after borockman blew him up" bit followed by the "used as materials for a series of ethically dubious cyborg experiments" thing still happened.

As for Alastor.....When he started showing signs of rebellion (I remember making a post early on in one of the RPs where he figured out that Doc was lying to him and started plotting something in retaliation), Doc gave him the Copy-Bot Special (keeping his "completely mind-wiped" bit intact) and sent him to the research facility for further study. After all, it's much easier to experiment with someone who can't object to stuff, right? Ky would eventually pick up on the weak network presence generated by whatever was left in Alastor's head, and history followed the course I'd set previously, only instead of Xhai and Co. trashing the place, it's Ky-lastor doing it instead.

Doc assumed Alastor was responsible for that, right up until Ky posted that selfie of him and Typhon at the end of Ruby's introductory story.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on April 03, 2016, 12:42:34 AM
Yeah early in Wilypocalypse Alastor was a Maverick hunter that teleported to Websita during the battle PB was kidnapped, he followed the teleport signals of the Robot Masters to Wily's base and then was captured and brainwashed but eventually figured out something wasn't right. 

That's how it went down I believe.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on April 03, 2016, 12:49:53 AM
Yup, that sounds right to me.

Doc eventually twigged that Alastor knew something was wrong. One Copy-Bot Special later, and Robo-Ky rises from the ashes like a goddamned phoenix and enacts glorious vengeance on those who wronged him just sorta turns up and starts wrecking stuff before disappearing into the night. That incident may or may not have encouraged Mika to start experimenting with Minty's combat capabilities.

I was given some advice recently that struck something of a chord with me, and it ties in well to something I've been meaning to do for a long time anyway.

So.

Henceforth, I'm wiping the slate and stepping away from RPs and whatnot for an indeterminate amount of time. I'm going to take a long, serious, look at everything I've done with my existing characters, and everything I'd planned to do in the near future. Revisions will be made, changes will be made, and I will eventually begin to post stuff again.

I've had some interesting ideas of late, but don't want to just rush them out without any kind of forethought or pre-planning, and so I'm going to take as much time as I need to get everything together, make sure it all works, and that I'm happy with it all, and I may try to get back into writing/RPing once everything's settled. As I have achieved nothing of note in either of the ongoing RPs, I don't see this as a great loss, but I apologise for anyone who's upset or inconvenienced by my doing this.

I'm not leaving the site - although the Wrestling Thread is on a temporary hiatus while I try to resolve issues regarding my equipment -, I just won't be active on the RP boards at all for who-knows-how-long.

Thanks for your time, guys. I'm sorry to have wasted so much of it with sloppy, ill-thought out ideas.

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on April 07, 2016, 08:11:38 PM
Thanks, guys.

Basically, what I'm intending to do is take a good, long look at my characters, refine them to a point where I don't feel a need to keep making sudden changes, and come up with a definitive, concrete reason why such a varied cast would be connected as a group.

I've no intention of spoiling anything right now, but I will say that part of this is connected to a concept I've liked for a long time. Well, that, and some characters may be drastically different in looks/concept if and when they return.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Amatiramisu on April 09, 2016, 12:22:09 PM
I decided to just write some short stories in my down time whenever I feel the inspiration. I wrote the first one tonight. Just a warning, these'll be a little rough since I'm out of practice and didn't feel like editing at 3AM.

Also understand these'll be only... Semi-canon I guess? I might reference them in actual gameplay but these are mostly for my own satisfaction and fleshing out the characters/universe.

(Although I'm not sure how well the setting of this one fits into the Manaverse canon, but it's not really wholly canon so I'll mess with the universe however I like.)

[spoiler=Florence Anelon Story #1, Or, I Went Crazy With Alliteration For Two Pages]“Boy, you had damn well better get moving before I snap that twig you call a neck!” An almost monstrous voice rumbled audibly over the noise of the machinery. A middle-aged man, very heavy-set, walked (or was it more of a waddle?) across a catwalk overseeing the production line. The smell of smoke and the choking heat was safely below him. A deep orange light drifted through the windows high above, signaling that it was already late in the day.

The noise of machinery was near deafening to those below. If one didn’t wear ear protection they’d be liable to go deaf after two days of work. Such was a hard lesson to a young man starting his first day working the line.

Atop a mountain lie the industrial city of Thiendor. Governed by industry, it is a place governed by fire and gold.

This particular factory was charged with the processing of raw iron ore into usable metal. Metal that could be converted into weapons, armor, and even tools and cookware. An essential industry, one that lined the pockets of its profitable patriarch, Andus Prion. A man in his early 50s who lived in luxury.

A luxury that caught the ears of a very precocious and proficient young woman.

Dusk gave way to a dark night, and most of the workers (save for those who had earned the privilege of Prion’s personal ire) had dispersed. However, the young man from earlier had not earned that right. He would be forced to work late into the night, taking inventory on the day’s progress.

“Gee, I didn’t think it was possible for me to be this tired…” He griped. A superior barked at him to hush up, which he promptly did. As the night bled on, the lights dimmed and some of the late-nighters began dozing off. The perfect point for a perverse plot.

A single eye twinkled from behind an air vent grate. Cloaked in a dark steel set of armor, this person would finally free herself from the day’s hiding place, where she had spent observing worker and guard patrols, and making a mental map of the factory’s design. Slipping out into the open floor, she took cover behind the massive machinery and crept through the stores towards the offices. However, a keener, younger eye, spotted movement in the shadows.

He was scared. Scanning the room for any sign of assistance, his heart sank at the sign that he was well and truly alone with whoever was in the storehouse with him. “H-Hello? Grant? Abel?” He called, hoping it was just one of his superiors playing pranks on his person. He swallowed hard. Suddenly, he felt the cold sting of a knife pressed to his throat.

“Some     queer names for ‘yer bosses, mate.” A feminine voice whispered as another hand held his mouth shut. He wanted to scream but the criminal very persuasively pressed the blade against his neck.

“Make a noise and ‘yer dead, aye? I’ve had a lotta drink over the day inhaling them godfersaken fumes. Gotta keep my sanity somehow, y’know? Girl’s hand might just slip?” She emphasized this with a little wiggle of the knife. She released her grip on her prey’s face and he whispered back. “Wh-What do you want?”

The woman shoved him hard against the wall and instinctively his arms went to the sky in fear for his life. “I want ‘ya to shut the seven ‘ells up so I can think.” Sheathing her dagger, she pressed her fingers to her chin trying to propose a possible solution to her problematic predicament. “Aye, I got it. What’s ‘yer name, kiddo?” She asked him. “Preston.” Came the shaky reply.

“Aye Preston. We got a problem. See I gotta take back some importan’ valuables that were… Taken from some poor people. ‘Yer boss ain’t been runnin’ a clean business, y’know? Extortion, y’know what that is?” The taller woman leaned forward to match his eyes. He nodded in affirmation, staring at the eyepatch that covered what used to be her left eye. “Say, how old are ‘ya anyway?” She asked. “F-Fifteen.” The young man replied again. She chuckled. “Aye, alright. ‘Yer just a kid so I’ll go easy on ‘ya. Show me to where the ol’ man keeps his vault and I’ll let ‘ya go live ‘yer life, aye?” Once again, all she got in response was a nod.

Moments later, they were walking the length of a lamplit hallway. Burning lanterns hung precariously on thin pieces of cable above their heads, swaying as if they could fall and set the whole place ablaze in seconds. All in the name of preventing extra payment. Creeping ‘round a corner, the duo peered into a dimly lit, yet very clearly extravagantly decorated office. “This is the place?” The older woman asked somewhat pointlessly as she rounded and walked across the room in a beeline for the safe behind the desk.

“Y-You need the key, don’t you?” Preston asked her. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “Whaddya take me ‘fer, some kinda amateur?” She jabbed as she took to rifling through her effects. Producing a pair of lockpicking tools, she took to her practice. In moments, the safe lock disengaged with a pop, and swung open. Inside were all forms of pretty pendants, glimmering gold rings, and bedazzling baubles of various sorts. She let out a laugh.

“You can’t think it was that easy, could you?” A deeper voice shocked her. She spun around, tearing her daggers from their holsters, to spot the proprietor of the business holding a handheld crossbow to the young man’s temple. Almost immediately, she relaxed. “Prion, ‘ya can’t be serious. I’m the woman ‘ya hired. ‘Ya were supposed to be out tonight while I worked.”

“There’s been a change of plans, girl. I found out there’s a bounty for your head. A lot more than I’d get for our arrangement.” The thief’s expression hardened. “An’ just what in the ‘ell could be worth more than six thousan’ gil in insurance fraud?” Andus grinned. “Ten thousand to see you locked up. Quickly now, drop your weapons or else I put a bolt in this boy’s head.”

Preston shook with terror. “B-But, you said this was for the poor!” The criminal sighed. “Mate, can’t ‘ya tell a lie when ‘ya ‘ear one? I’m a thief. I was gonna get a cut ‘fore this son of an ‘arlot decided ‘ta screw me. An’ lemme tell ‘ya, Florence Anelon don’ like bein’ played.” She took a step forward. Andus held the crossbow closer to the hostage. “Prion, ‘ya think I care about ‘tha kid’s life? He ain’t part’a the deal. Go ahead. Liquidate ‘yer assets. Wait… I don’ think that works…?”

Andus sneered, then threw Preston aside and pointed the crossbow at Florence. She backed up slightly and threw up her arms. “Whoa, easy there. I ain’ gonna pick a fight with ‘ya. Don’ want my ‘ead rollin’ just yet.” The businessman grinned. “Damn shame, no worming your way out of this o-” Suddenly, there was a shattering of glass and Andus fell to the ground with a thud. Hovering behind him, Preston held the frame of a hanging lantern, the glass shattered all around him. “That’s for pointing that thing at my head, you bastard!” The boy called.

Florence dropped her arms, sheathing her daggers. “Oi, nice work there mate. Gotta say that was pretty-” In seconds, Preston had wrestled the crossbow out of his employer’s fat fingers and pointed it at the thief. “And this is for nearly letting him put a bolt through my head you bi-” Florence coughed and thumbed behind her at the safe. “And whaddya think’ll happen if you kill me an’ ‘yer boss wakes up. Here’s a tidbit, he ain’t gonna send you home with commendations. I’ve dealt with these shady types before and he’s gonna stab you in the back, say he killed the thief, take the reward, then lock you up for tryin’ ‘ta break into his safe and collect the insurance anyway.”

Preston grimaced, then dropped the crossbow. The thief sighed in relief and took to clearing out the safe. “Then what are we supposed to do?” Asked her younger companion. Over her shoulder, Florence tossed him a couple of gold necklaces. “Gotta fence, name ‘a Tarver. Down on Eighth Avenue. Down the alleyway. Flip those and ‘ya can get ‘yerself a carriage outta here. What’s left over should float ‘ya for a couple’a months ‘fore ‘ya can get yourself a more humble job. Got family? Take ‘em with ‘ya.”

“Gee, that’s awful generous of a thief.” Preston accused. Florence’s single eye shined over her shoulder. “I still got a code ‘a ethics, mate. Get outta ‘ere ‘fore I change my mind. Too drunk ‘ta be negotiating with a kid like ‘yerself.”[/spoiler]

Quick update for anyone who cares.

The canon reboot I've been working on has progressed enough that I have a character bio written out and technically ready to post, as well as a series of brief notes concerning other future characters and the lore behind things. I'm still working on the visual aspect (IE: Actual pictures) of everything, but I figured I might as well ask.....Would you all be OK with me posting a bio without a visual representation of the character? And, would anyone want me to post stuff regarding the lore and universe backstory?

I'm fine with whatever. I'd originally planned to hold off on everything until I have decent visual aids to go with what I've written, but I can start posting again if anyone'd rather I do that.

Spoiler'd because Wall of Text.

[spoiler]Well then, now that I'm "back in the game", so to speak, I figured I might as well drop something here to get anyone who cares back up to speed with the random craziness that is my headcanon. So.

All the stuff with "Xhai's wacky band of Misfits". Gone. Over. Never happened. The characters still exist, but their roles (and, in some cases, appearances) are different. What bugged me the most about the old setup was that I had no real reason (besides, y'know, this is RPM/Websitia) as to why such a colourful group of characters was able to coexist (think about it, I had multiple cyborgs, a ghost, two different kinds of genuine undead, a dragon and a whole buncha robots, among other things.)

So, I came up with an entirely new background, that can be summed up in two words.

Space Cops.

More accurately, the Interstellar Law Enforcement and Security Alliance, otherwise known as ILESA, or just the IPD for ease of typing. Their main role is basically to deal with interstellar crimes (ie. Human murders a human on earth, that's a job for Earth's police. Human attempts to smuggle illegal narcotics onto another planet, that's when the IPD steps in.)
The focus of all of this is the ILESA 91st Squad, based from an orbital station located far enough away from Websitia that ILESA itself is an unknown.

Thanks to suggestions from some friends (or at least, I hope that's what they think of me as, instead of just "that weird english guy who won't shut up about stuff no one else cares about"), in current RPM canon (ie. Wilypocalypse), the 91st has only recently formed and everyone's still getting to know each other. I figured a basic rundown of the cast might be appropriate. So, here is the current line-up for the IPD's 91st Squad. Some descriptions are more detailed than others, mostly due to how my brain just randomly throws ideas at me. Oh, and uh, unless noted otherwise, everyone's humanoid, or close enough that they can be described that way. I'm no good with really exotic character designs.

Spoilers, I guess? Not like it matters.

- Captain Cyril Zabat: Commander of the 91st. Comes from a heavily polluted planet, so his species adapted to be resistant/immune to poisonous or toxic substances. As a side effect of this evolutionary quirk, they're all pale as death and look visibly wrong (tainted veins, weird eye/hair colours, the works), and as a result they've gained a reputation for being wholly untrustworthy. His bodily fluids are toxic in the extreme, and he was given the captaincy of the 91st just to keep him out of the way, as he has a very.....relaxed stance on what constitutes acceptable operational conduct. Has been mentioned in the Wilypocalypse RP, and has made a brief appearance in a side story.

- Officer Saga Neith: The first of Cyril's personal recruitments, she's part of a race descended from something close to a Fennec Fox, and is especially skilled at operating in desert environments. Personal weapon is a large boomerang with a serrated edge on one side, but ever since she met Cyril she's become fascinated with explosives. Which is weird considering how sensitive her hearing is. Maybe she's just into that kind of thing? Currently part of a side-story in Wilypocalypse, but hasn't had a speaking role yet.

- Silvy: Not officially part of the 91st at this point, Silvy's currently being held in quarantine while the base's resident eggheads try to figure out exactly what the hell it is. Spoilers: It's a sentient blob of liquid mercury with a penchant for glomping people. As mercury is poisonous, you can imagine how that works out.

- Officer Caio Basurto: This guy, in another universe, would be called Xhai. He's a parrot-esque birdman who unfortunately cannot fly. He's got a massive chip on his shoulder as a result, and is blunt to the point of rudeness with everyone. Unlike certain other squad members, his temper can best be described as a constant state of tranquil(l) fury. Expect bird puns out the wazoo when he actually makes a proper appearance. Right now, he's involved in a side-story in Wilypocalypse, but hasn't had a speaking role yet.

- Officer Bellona "Bell" Valcadash: The one-armed, foul-mouthed, scar-toting blonde returns! The scars might be different this time around, but her personality is pretty much the same. Her temper's as short as ever, but she can be fairly mellow when she wants. Currently has a starring role in Wilypocalypse, where she appears to be trying to troll everyone with her ability to give zero fucks about any given situation. Her secret ambition right now is to punch a certain holier-than-thou knight in the face. Repeatedly.

- Officer Leocadia Mallory: AKA Ammy's Waifu. Not human this time, instead she's an elfin-looking humanoid whose species I haven't named yet. Still a knight, still a ghost of sorts, only this time the reasoning's different. Long story short, her people can use gemstones as a focus point for casting magic spells, and Leo's unique talent is bascially ripping off Zero's Twin Dream/Sougenmu from X5. When she died, she refused to stay dead, possessed the gemstone set in her sword, and came back as one of the duplicates she used to spawn. Currently has a starring role in Wilypocalypse, where she's playing the "good" cop to Bell's "Are you sure she's a" cop. Honour, truth and justice never looked so good.

- Saden Wiegand: As with Silvy, not officially part of the 91st yet. Still Leo's close friend and ally, her Crystomancy power used her gemstone to create/animate golems to fight alongside her. When she was reduced to a state of being mostly dead - which is still slightly alive - in the same battle that saw Leo die, her pet golem forcibly transferred its heart to her in an attempt to save her life. It worked, but now she's half-crystal and still trying to put her mind back together after the golem's rudimentary intelligence did the equivalent of walking into her house and taking a baseball bat to all the nice things she had. She's getting better, and might even be cleared for duty soon. Probably not going to appreciate any Steven Universe jokes when she returns to service, though.

There are two (five) others that haven't officially been introduced in the new canon yet. One (four) is still lying under a pile of deceased Rabid Mets somewhere on Websitia, and the other is probably regretting her decision to let a certain unnamed mad scientist use her as a guinea pig for a new, untested type of upgrade.

Everyone else? Around, but as NPCs. Expect cameos in future oneshots. If I ever get off my backside and actually get everything else finished so I can work on them.

Oh, and as a good friend noticed, and as some people on here who know a little about me might have noticed, this new canon is decidedly more comedic in tone than the last one. It'll still get dark, but I'll be trying to make you laugh the whole way, I promise.

Dirty Pair Flash and New Dominion Tank Police were big influences on me when I was coming up with all this, and even though my artistic skills are still at a point where everything I draw looks like a drunken, three legged spider (not Saden) tap-danced its way across a page, I do hope to get some more stuff done soon. Hopefully, some/all of you like/accept/won't try to kill me over what I've done and will be doing.[/spoiler]

Thanks for reading.

Oh, and as a bonus, here's a little Omake thing that hit me a couple days ago, just to give you an idea of how the 91st operates. Most of the time.

[spoiler]Corvus, the (in)famous insterstellar drug baron, breathed a sigh of relief as the tell-tale sound of an approaching helicopter reached his ears. Really, getting his boys to repaint his ride so it looked like an unaffiliated medical chopper was one the best ideas he'd ever had.

His relief quickly turned to shock and dismay as a white streak appeared in the sky from somewhere behind him and hit the helicopter dead on, the explosion almost blinding him with its' intensity. As the still-flaming debris began to rain down around him, his first thought was "Christ! What kind of sicko shoots down medical help!?"

On a nearby ridge, Captain Cyril Zabat shot one of his squadmates a thumbs up as she dropped the now-empty missile launcher. "Great shot, Saga."

The fox-girl just grinned at him, tail swishing happily.[/spoiler]

I should be able to finish the next part tomorrow, now I have an idea of how exactly I want to do things and how many Zaku Joes I'm leaving alive for Arche to take care of.

But yeah with Fxeni in some kind of Ubisoft related hell (it's probably the mess that the Division is creating unless stated otherwise), so he can't update on either end, and 3 other fighters against boforte, because Arche should finish those Zaku Joes easily, I'm not sure how well the IPD can contribute to the boforte fight depending on how much it would take to bring him down. 

I mean unless you want to control Crossbone in his stead to get things moving a bit faster on the Sex Station end though I'm not sure you really want to do that.

That and you don't want anyone to find Peebs on your end.

Those sound like big plans Phi, would be interesting to see the rest.

As for Fxeni... Yea, seriously hoping the best for him irl.
Either way, the fight with boforte... I think it will be around the same length as the W2M9 fight, or slightly longer, if the posts are continuous since it has been a while since boforte had any action after his last appearance.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Sakura Leic on April 28, 2016, 05:55:56 AM
Yeah that's what I figured.

I think I'll probably have the Ice Arm taken out or at the very least severely damaged, boforte to let go of Fxeni, and a Zaku Joe destroyed with 2 left afterwards so at the moment at least 5 are destroyed.

That IPD could show up to help in this space battle, if you wanted.

It's kind of you to offer, but I'll have to politely decline. I haven't really planned out the IPD Command structure beyond the 91st and a couple of related NPCs, and of the 91st squad members that're currently active in the RP, Cyril's the only one not already doing something, and I need him around to push the side story forward.

That, and at this particular moment in time, the IPD has no idea there even is a space battle right now. Even if they did, they'd probably write it off as a terrestrial matter and ignore it.

Thanks for the thought, though.  8)

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on April 29, 2016, 01:37:14 AM
I was bored and suffering from a case of writer's block on my next bio, so here's another Omake for you all.

Should probably state for the record that there's no real specific time placement for any of these, although this one takes place fairly early on in the 91st's life.

Enjoy.

[spoiler]Cyril watched with an air of detached amusement as the poor bastard they'd been chasing was loaded into the back of the medical vehicle. He gave the man a cheery wave as their eyes met and was rewarded with a look of absolute terror that somehow managed to become even more intense as his companion sauntered up behind him.

As the doors swung shut and the vehicle moved off, he turned to his new squadmate. "I think that's a job well done, Officer Valcadash. Have to say though.....you think you went a little overboard?"

Bell blinked. "Overboard?"

Cyril had to fight to keep his expression from giving away his true feelings. "You kneecapped him."

"He was trying to run away!"

"In both legs."

She shifted slightly, apparently uncomfortable meeting his gaze. "I wanted to make sure he couldn't get away."

He quirked a brow at her. "And the hot dog cart?"

She refused to look him in the eye at that one, and mumbled something that sounded like "Thought it was funny...."

He shot her a flat look. "According to IPD procedure, Officer Valcadash, I should suspend you for this." She stared up at him mutinously, until his lips quirked in an amused grin. "But you're right, it was funny." He shot a glance at the clock mounted on the tower at the far end of the park. "Well, looks like beer o'clock to me. My treat."

Bell froze for a moment as he headed for the cruiser parked off to the side, before she flashed a grin of her own and followed him. "See, this is why I think I'm gonna like you, Cap."[/spoiler]
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Amatiramisu on May 03, 2016, 06:06:36 AM
Alright, I pulled up everything. Here's a quick rundown of the premise.

[spoiler=Fairy Tail: Perfect Memories]
Premise

Hundreds of years after the events of Fairy Tail, Fiore has come to a relative peace. Mage guilds continue to operate as usual. For hundreds of years, the world had finally reached a status quo.

However, far, far to the north of Fiore, a darkness rises. It started with a farming village or two going dark. No word from them... No sign they ever existed. Unrest begins to boil in the north as society begins to destabilize out of paranoia. Stories tell of an army of the dead ravaging cities and laying waste to them in a single night. To those who do not know, it is mere legend. To those who do know, they bring only news of impending doom. The Warlock-Knight Illthas and his Fell Army of the undead march south towards Fiore for reasons unknown.

Suddenly, everything turns for the worst as the neighboring nations of Fallfox and Eridell go to war. Mage guilds the world over send their best to join the effort. Sister-guilds and political affiliations force those who once considered themselves allies to break those ties to fight. Those remaining are stunted, as the weakened guilds find themselves incapable of maintaining order when faced with criminals and dark guilds who seek to take advantage of the civil unrest. In particular, a dangerous dark guild known as Rottweiler now targets Fiore as their prey.

Weakened, the guilds are barely on their last legs. It is now that we find Fairy Tail working overtime to keep Magnolia Town safe as a final bastion of security in a world that's breaking down. Outnumbered and outmatched, they are barely keeping themselves afloat.

The Current State Of The Guild, Or, Where You Come In

With Fairy Tail's previous guild master having disappeared without a trace, and his only successor gone north to launch an assault on Illthas, Fairy Tail is without a leader, and instead is governed jointly by the three commanding officers.

You are a new recruit to Fairy Tail. In the state of emergency, you were allowed to forgo any examinations in favor of earning reputation in the guild through work. Your job is to take missions around Magnolia and protect it from anyone who threatens to harm your way of life. Above all, the guild exists to make the world a better place, and that is what you are here for.

Just be warned. Being in a guild is a dangerous job these days, and Fairy Tail is famous for collateral damage.

[spoiler=NPCs]
[spoiler=S-Rank Nikolai Vetrov]
The Raven of the North

Age 46

Though in good shape for his age, Nikolai has long begun showing the telltale signs of age. His once dark hair and handsome stubble have begun graying and his eyes have begun bearing wrinkles. Nevertheless, he hasn't lost any muscle mass and his tall and stocky build still allow him to tower over both his enemies and the recruits he presides over. He favors his country's traditional formal clothing, and each of his outfits have been custom-designed. He always wears a rapier at his hip, though he has never been seen using it.

The oldest member of the guild, and one of the three commanding officers, Nikolai is one of the three remaining S-Ranked mages in Fairy Tail. He is a former general who oversaw the military in the city-state of Dorokhin far in the snowy northern mountains of Fiore. Hailed as a prodigy in his younger years, he led Dorokhin to greatness. This was wasted in a single night when Illthas annihilated everything he knew, leaving the great General Vetrov the sole survivor.

He journeyed south for some years until he came to Fairy Tail on the eve of the war. Seeing what peace still remained gave him a drive to remain in Magnolia Town, his goal to protect the good people who called it home from the horrors that ravaged his home.

While his words are coated with a thick accent, he has a staggering amount of wisdom and advice to pass onto the younger members of the guild, and he is very approachable.

Currently, he is in-charge of all expeditions around Fiore and the surrounding countries. He takes the members far beyond friendly territory into distant lands in search of a possible way to combat Illthas' Fell Army.

Nikolai is a user of Perception Magic, which allows him to change how surrounding people perceive time, allowing him to take advantage of any confusion brought on.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=S-Rank Ryuki Weston]
The Hair-Trigger Mage

Age 19

Short and thin, Ryuki is a fast fighter, who uses his smaller build to his advantage. He lacks any real muscle definition and he is beaten out by many of the other members in height. (Though this never seems to bother him.) He has short black hair and sharp black eyes, and tends to favor professional attire. His guns are worn inside his jacket, safety off at all times, because that's not dangerous at all.

The second of the three remaining S-Ranks, and one of the three commanding officers, Ryuki was born in the western nation of Marthon in the now-defunct guild Hawkwing, the son of Aster Weston, their leader. When he was two years old, Hawkwing was laid to waste by the dark guild Rottweiler as Marthon fell into ruin. He was sent south to the island country of Caelum to live with his grandparents. He went to work for the guild Foxfire and became the protege of its leader-to-be, the God Slayer Haera. He idolized her as his master and as a sort of sister-figure. However, when word reached Caelum of the war in the north, Foxfire sent its own to assist its sister guilds in Fallfox. Haera was one of them.

She left Ryuki her personal weapons, the dark magic revolver Sin, and the light magic pistol Absolution. She left him with the knowledge of how to use them to conjure the legendary rifle Eternity. She left him fifty rounds imbued with God-Slaying magic and left to join the war. Years passed, and with his guild's blessing, he too ventured north to join the war effort. However, along the way he was attacked by a mysterious cloaked man, who recognized him. He would learn this is the man responsible for the fall of Hawkwing, the leader of Rottweiler, Mister A. Injured and broken, he awoke in a hospital in Magnolia and decided to stay and join the efforts of Fairy Tail.

He is incredibly cocky, and quick to jump to a fight in most situations for better or for worse. Fun-loving, he has a philosophy of living life in the fast lane, and nothing seems to ever phase his overinflated ego.

Ryuki's job is to address the war effort by leading Fairy Tail members in providing humanitarian and mercenary aid to Fiore's surrounding regions, including Marthon, Fallfox, and Eridell.

Sin uses poison/dark magic and Absolution uses angelic/light magic. They can be combined to form the God-Slaying Rifle Eternity, but he is too weak to use it effectively without hurting himself.
[/spoiler]
 
[spoiler=S-Rank Dai Fudo]
The Bartender

Age 31

Average in all other respects, the most immediately noticeable detail about this man is his long white hair and dulled eyes. Additionally, one would notice that he really likes the color gray. His outfit consists of gray boots, gray jeans, gray shirt, and a gray jacket. Additionally, he wears a long, ornate silver staff across his back whenever he's not behind the bar.

The third and final S-Rank of Fairy Tail, he is the oldest remaining member. He was born and raised in the rural areas outside of Magnolia. Blind and orphaned since childhood, he grew up on scraps, and finally got a break when he decided to harness his power as a mage and join Fairy Tail.

He remains the final word on guild affairs. Though he is not one of the the officers, his advice is respected by all three of them.

Once one of Fairy Tail's most valuable assets, he now considers himself retired and merely works the bar in the guild hall these days.

He is a little bit antisocial, but a good listener... If a little sarcastic. He is one of the longest-standing members of Fairy Tail as of the current year, and thus feels a bit distant from the newer blood.

He is a wind mage who commands absolute control of the air, including the ability to manipulate the wind, the heat, and the air pressure.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=A-Rank Sirena Altuena]
The Huntress

Age 26

Stunningly beautiful by the usual standard, this golden-haired and golden-eyed elf almost constantly has a jarringly angry look on her face. Much to her annoyance her figure tends to draw a little bit too much attention, combined with her preference in attire being a boots, a skirt, and a corset, she's learned that drawing the bow slung over her shoulder tends to ward off any unwanted advances.

The last remaining proper member of Hawkwing, and the third officer of Fairy Tail, she hardly considers herself a Fairy Tail mage as her allegiance still lies with Marthon. She is a well-accomplished mage who reached a respectable rank in Hawkwing at the early age of nine, only to find her home laid to waste by Rottweiler. Barely escaping with her life, she wandered the world in search of anyone capable of taking revenge on the bastards who took her life away from her.

Along the way, she stumbled on Fairy Tail, who were the only ones thus far to be a threat to Rottweiler. It is also there she met someone vaguely familiar, the baby that was whisked away the day of the attack. She - for these reasons decided to join Fairy Tail (As a freelancer, mind you. She still considers herself a mage of Hawkwing.) and focus her efforts into leading the battle against the rival guild.

She is a fierce fighter and a strict leader, and is incredibly judgmental and disrespectful toward lower-ranked members (although equally respectful and submissive towards her superiors, aside from Ryuki for some reason).

Sirena's in charge of what is essentially the Fiore local police force, leading members in patrols and addressing crime. Additionally, her most important duty is leading them again Rottweiler, Fairy Tail's chief threat on the home front.

She is a aura mage whose specialty lies in scouting through sensing surrounding auras and identifying enemies. This makes her a feared sniper with her mythril bow.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=B-Rank Vexa Mafesto]
The Shooting Star Mage

Age 30

Despite having a more exaggerated build than Sirena, she's better at hiding it considering in any weather she wears a heavy trench coat. Her ludicrously long black hair also serves to obscure her, and on a dark night you wouldn't tend to actually see her coming.

A childhood friend of former Guildmaster Edge, she was raised in the same prison camp and escaped alongside him. However, they were separated shortly after an unfortunate series of events and she was forced to grow up alone as an orphan. With time, however, word spread of a strange wandering woman who wielded the power of the heavens. During an excursion in Dai's earlier days, he heard of a mysterious woman who claimed to know Edge. Following her trail, she had decided to follow him home. By then, Edge had disappeared.

After some time spent searching for Edge once more, she was courted relentlessly by Dai who eventually proposed to her. Now betrothed, she decided to stick around the guild more often instead of wandering off for months on end in search of the former Guildmaster. She now helps manage the bar during her free time, and otherwise assists the officers as a secretary of sorts.

She is a fun-loving party animal who should never, ever, ever get drunk. She also has a very distinct motherly vibe to her, and people tend to flock to her for life advice, which makes her a popular figure whenever Fairy Tail's bar is open to the public.

She is a Celestial Spirit mage who currently possesses the keys of Ursa Major, Taurus, Libra, Scorpio, and Virgo.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=B-Rank Nairne Nani Valkyrie]
The Fiction Mage

Age 17

At first glance anyone would mistake Nairne for a child no more than twelve. She is shorter than most anyone in the guild and her figure is extremely modest. Not to mention she also tends to wear very childish clothing. Despite her girly appearance, she considers herself more of a tomboy and even went so far as to chop her dark blue hair short, and she's very frequently covered in scratches and bandages.
 
Nairne is a half-fairy born of a human and the Fairy Queen of the Fiore forests, Naniaess. She spent her childhood among the fairies as the princess of the forest. Her life was turned around when soldiers of Fallfox marched through, burning everything in sight. One of her retainers whisked her away to Magnolia where she would be safe in Fairy Tail where one of their own once lived. It is there that she became Fairy Tail's head of PR and their mascot of sorts.

She is an excitable young woman who is just the slightest bit naive. She loves pranks and often sleeps up in the rafters or anywhere else high up. (A side-effect of living in the trees for so long.) Massive bookworm, and considers the library to be her turf.

She is a conjuration mage whose abilities allow her to take anything out of a book or written work and make it reality.[/spoiler][/spoiler][/spoiler]

Just gonna copypasta a quote from the Discord channel regarding ManaVerse. I wasn't around for this particular discussion, but....eh.

Quote
I think...Xhai's not interested in joining in 'til he has his ILESA legendarium all together IIRC

Technically true. Technically, I'm at a point where I feel I could. What I don't know is if getting involved again would be a good idea, or even welcome at this point.

Thoughts?

Incidentally, since I never really attempted to shill it, the link in my signature'll get you (near-enough) all the stuff I've ever written since rejoining the site. Most of it ties into WilyPocalypse at the moment, but it's all clearly marked and might be helpful for anyone who had/has trouble keeping track of everything I'm trying to do right now. My advice? Start with the glossary (the newest update), and then just read whatever you fancy.

Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on May 28, 2016, 09:32:24 AM
Alright, that's encouraging.  :)

Money question is: Who would you want to me to introduce to the story? I'm not averse to including characters that aren't officially part of the "main" cast yet, but I do want to exclude Saden, Leo and Bell since they're involved in other RPs already. To make it a little easier, the list of characters I could pick from would include:

- Cyril
- Caio
- Saga
- Silvy (might be a little tricky to write)
- Kaz (kinda hesitant on this one since he's one of the more overtly sci-fi inspired characters, and I'm planning to introduce him to WilyPocalypse at some point in the future)
- RWBY (again, planning on introducing her/them to WilyPocalypse at some point, but this could work, I think. .....I really need to figure out how I'm going to refer to this character from now on.)
- I guess I could also add Xhai, the Ueno sisters, Zephyr and Sol to this list as well, but they're not as well-developed from a character standpoint since they're technically just side-characters.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Dr. Wily II on May 28, 2016, 02:13:24 PM
I think Saga works. :3
Or Silvy. 8D
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on May 28, 2016, 10:47:00 PM
I actually have an intro for Silvy drafted. Might post it as an Omake if and when I'm allowed to get back into ManaVerse (I still need to clear it with Blue, among other things).

I'm actually sorely tempted to go with Cyril. I'm writing for female characters in every other RP right now, and with the current state of things in ManaVerse I think the group is lacking in male characters a little? That, and it'll give me a chance to show what Cyril's like outside of the "stuck behind a desk" role he's currently occupying. I've noted that he's acting outside what's considered normal for his kind, but I've not had a chance to really show that side of him yet, y'know?

Mm, anyway, I still need to talk things over with Blue and see if there's any way I can get into the RP without disrupting things too much. I've got time to consider my options, at least.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Amatiramisu on May 28, 2016, 10:50:58 PM
I think Caio would be a better fit.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on May 28, 2016, 10:57:12 PM
Caio? ...Hmmm.......yeah, I can see that. The only problem I can see is that, if I'm keeping him in character, the last thing he'd do is willingly join any kind of group. I really do need to get his bio finished and posted, but I think I've mentioned before that he's....not a particularly pleasant individual to be around. When Cyril's bio mentioned IPD Command "throwing their other two problems at the 91st", it was in reference to Bell and Caio.

I mean, I could probably make it work, but I'd need a more solid reason for him to be joining the group, because as far as the whole "we're journeying to save the world" thing goes, he would not care in the slightest.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Amatiramisu on May 28, 2016, 11:28:32 PM
You could figure something out. I made Florence join them to act as a conduit to get her to the next kill target, not out of any goodwill.
Title: Re: The Supplement RP Thread
Post by: Strider Xhaiden on June 06, 2016, 11:30:38 PM
I've been mulling it over for a while, and I still think if I'm gonna get involved in ManaVerse again (and that's a fairly big if right now, I don't wanna cause problems for Blue or anyone else involved) then Cyril is probably the best option.

I'm not writing for any of my male characters in the RPs right now, Cyril's overall presence would fit into the world (he's regularly mistaken for a demon by people who aren't aware of exactly what he is, after all), and I think his attitude - the whole "I'm a survivor" vs "I'm a cop" thing - would add an interesting dynamic to the group.

Still, this is all purely hypothetical, so.... *shrug*

Backstory (http://forum.rockmanpm.com/index.php?topic=7408.msg497559#msg497559)

───────────────────────────────────

Act I. The QuestionNightfall's Requiem


The cold and crisp air settles as a dark massive figure erupts through the stone floor of an abandoned coliseum, the debris and billowing smoke caused by the Necromancer's flaming Skeletal Dragon decorates the night sky. The ferocious beast lands in front of the exhausted mage girl, its bony tail curled on the floor. Claudius nonchalantly pats his hand on the unholy dragon, the beast ready to strike at any moment. A small smirk on his face, the cocky Necromancer removes his hand and shoves it into his pocket.


What do you think it means to be happy?


The dust clears and with a cough, the 12 year old girl turns and faces the magical staff which she gripped in her hand. "This isn't looking good, Salem!" She reached inside of her sleeve and pulled out a waffle, then proceeded to finish it in a few bites.

"You... still have that thing with you?" Salem inquired in a bemused manner.

"Sleeve Waffles are the future!" She proclaimed enthusiastically, then focused her attention to Claudius. "Man, this guy is super tough and way taller than the innkeeper said he was."

"I told you before, you shouldn't have confronted him, Pema." He declared. "This bounty was specifically requested for the Knight class, why did you sneak into the Headmasters' palace and head out yourself?! Do you know how reckless you're being? You're still just a Runemaster recruit, this isn't your job!"

Pema stepped back and quickly stopped short. Looking behind herself, she was getting close to the edge of the cliff. "Y-yeah, yeah, I know, but... it didn't feel right. I couldn't just let someone like this go! The Headmasters wanted to hold out for two weeks to deploy the Knights against Claudius. They wanted to perform something called... Re- Ranana... Reck- Reconnaissance first? But he was terrorizing so many villages and destroying our resources! Innocent people lost their lives! Every time me and the other recruits would go out to help supervise the eastern trade routes, I saw everything - the path of destruction and ashes that he left all throughout the town."

"I understand that," Salem replied, "But this isn't how you-"

Claudius the Necromancer approached them and points two fingers at Pema. "You are quite the evasive nuisance, you filthy peasant. Now it's about time I clip your wings. What say you?" His dragon snarled, bright flames flowing from his maw.


That's the thing... I don't think happiness has a shape... it's n-not... it's not something you can find or sculpt into something that can solve all of your problems.


The Skeletal Dragon conjures his fire breath, his visible rib cage blanketed by wild flames. Pema twirled her staff and readied herself. His growl made a grave hissing sound, which was a 'tell' that he would raise his belly and stand on its hind legs, building up the force to launch his inferno assault. "Now!" She exclaimed, and fired a frost spell at the Dragon's feet, spontaneously creating a sheet of ice beneath him. Pema darted forward with as much strength as tiny legs could muster and leaped on the slippery ice, her body sliding underneath the immensely huge creature. The foul beast's thorny spine stretched out and his head lunged forward, a dastardly blaze showering the cliffside. After successfully sliding below the archway of bones, Pema rolled to her feet and materialized a lightning spell, firing the powerful blast at the Dragon's torso. Upon impact, it caused him to flail in pain and fly back to his master.

"Look, Salem! I managed to perform a lightning spell this time." She planted a hand on her hips and pointed at the beast, "Go back from when'inst you came!"

"Yeah, so you have," Salem exclaimed, "But now's not the time to get distracted, this battle is far from over."

Claudius grimaced at the nimble mage girl. "Damnit! Very well then... I'll handle this myself." He waved a hand in front of the creature, and it stepped a few paces back. The Necromancer removed a crick in his neck by pressing a fist against his jaw, then started to disrobe, revealing ancient tattoos that adorned his arms, chest and back. Kneeling down, he rested his palm on the ground and dug his calloused fingers inside the dirt beneath him. As he began to chant an incantation under his breath, Pema felt a chill run across her spine and she timidly readied her staff. The earth around them started to rumble.

Pema heard a crackling sound underneath her and as she peered down, a singular hand burrowed its way out of the ground and was grasping for the hem of her dress. “Aaaah!” She squeaked out, quickly backing away.

Salem also seemed rather shaken. “Wh-what is that thing?!”

Not a second later, an entire body crawled through the dirt, revealing itself to be a skeleton with an iron shield fastened to their arm and a claymore buried in its head. Chunks of flesh and tissue were stuck to the bones, shredded garbs of a past life clinging relentlessly to the accursed being that stands before them. Soon, more forsaken bodies began excavating their way onto the land of sinners and surrounded them - 10, 20, 30 souls - some with axes housed in the chest cavity where a heart once lived, some missing an arm or half a skull; the putrid smell that wafted through the air was sickening. Slowly, they marched forward.

Pema immediately covers her nose and mouth, leaving only petrified eyes to lay bare her emotions.

Claudius' laughter broke through her staggered apprehension and he rested his hand on the shoulders of one of the enchanted skeletons. "Nowhere to run now. You've lasted a bit longer than many other fools who dared to challenge me, but I'm afraid you're still an insignificant little pest. It is time to end this." He tapped a finger on the skeleton's shoulder, which caused a sudden pulse of dark mana to enter the undead army, a surge of energy flowing through them.

Then - without warning - the armed skeletons rushed forward at breakneck speed. Startled, Pema quickly raised her weapon to defend against the oncoming assault. Not only were they fast, but their strength increased tenfold as well. The blade's cold steel and the platinum crown at the top of the magical staff clashed violently, sparks dancing in the air as she desperately attempted to parry the swings.

"Watch out behind you!" Salem shouted, which diverted her attention towards two skeletons that were drawing back their bows. They consecutively released their arrows; one of them whistling past the girl as she dodged, and the other piercing her dress. She casted a fire spell at one of them, but not a second later, footsteps drummed closer and she turned at the heel towards three skeletons that were thrusting their swords. It was extraordinarily difficult to counter their flurry of attacks at the same time, the tip of a longsword slashing her cheek, and a rusty scimitar clipping at her legs.

Pema cried out in pain, and in her confusion, she fired ice blasts erratically in random directions around the vicinity. A couple of the spells managed to freeze one in the crowd and knocked a sword out of another's hand. Blood seeped through her fabric and a searing heat shot signals to her brain. The staff slipped out of her hands and she tightened a grip around the wounds on her legs. Salem floated towards her, "Pema! Are you okay?!"

"My left leg... feels numb..." She exclaimed with a grimace. Even though Salem didn't have a body, it was more than evident from the way he impatiently hovered around her that he abhorred the fact he couldn't physically aid her. He spoke to her softly, "Keep applying pressure, okay? I'll look for an escape route, we can still make it-"

Claudius interjected their moment of reprieve with a snide remark. "Now, now, little one. I can't have you keeling over on me just yet." He snapped his fingers, and the remaining army of skeletons grabbed Pema's shoulders and retrained her against the dirt. She desperately struggled and tried to shake herself free, but to no avail.

"Get away from her!" Salem shouted.

Ignoring him, the towering Necromancer walked closer to her, and tears began welling up in young girl's eyes. Her lips quivered and her heart was beating like a frantic drum. "P-Please... you don't... you don't have to do this! Just let me go, I-I promise I won't tell anyone where you are! I'll leave right now! Please... Please!"

He said nothing, a repulsive smirk stretching across his face. A couple of the skeletons moved aside, and he coarsely grabbed her by the hair, tilting his head as he peered directly at her; drinking in the fear. Claudius then shoved her onto the ground and stomped his leather boot down onto her wound. "Nnghhh!" Pema screamed and reached for his leg, but he brashly pushed her arm aside. He pressed his foot down even harder, twisting it deep into the cut. "Gh-argghhhhhh!!! S-STOP!! Please!!" Her face twisted in pain, flecks of spittle flying through her gritted teeth.

"LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE!" Salem screamed as loud as he could.

His haunting smile grew dim, and he slowly turned his head to the floating magical staff. For a moment, he looked back and forth between Pema and Salem, then approached the sentient being. "I see you care much for this girl. That is a shame."

"If you lay another hand on her, I swear," Salem remarked, "I will make it my personal life's mission to hunt you down and kill you."

Claudius chuckled mockingly. "That is quite the declaration coming from a talking broom. And how do you plan on killing me, exactly, when you have no body? You are powerless without the girl." He reaches forward and snatches Salem from the air.

"Salem!" Pema yelled, still being restrained by the armored skeletons.


What is it you desire most? What is it that makes life... worth living?


"You know, she does seem to care an awful lot about you. Perhaps before I bury her, she can enjoy watching your life slip away. It has been quite a while since I've seen a soul merged to an object, and if memory serves, this runic gem..."

The deranged Necromancer squeezed the gem that was firmly stationed at the top of the staff, his hand glowing with a dark purple aura as he applied pressure. Small cracks started forming in the crystal. "This is where your consciousness resides, is it not?" Salem, of course, feels no pain or any kind of sensory beyond sight and sound. More cracks appeared and Claudius resumed speaking. "Every life comes with a death sentence. You, the blasphemer who defies mortality and continues to breathe anew, shall receive judgement."

"Heh... hahaha..." Salem let out a debilitated chuckle, tinged with melancholy. "I guess this is it for me, kiddo..."

"N-No... No, this isn't happening... this isn't real... this can't be real..." The young girl's trembling voice was barely audible, tears welling up in her wide blue eyes. Her mouth became parched and her chest tightened as she heard the sounds of cracking growing louder. "Stop... enough... please..." Her mind was in a trance, unable to process the reality that appeared before her. The horror unfolding was happening faster than her brain was able to allow, triggering a mental paralysis.

Although Salem did not have a face, Pema could somehow glean a haggard and sympathetic expression through the inflections in his voice. Calmly, he spoke. "Close your eyes, sweetie, don't look. Everything is going to be okay. I'm just taking... the long sleep I should've had years ago."

Pema's body began to convulse as her mind snapped back into focus. Fond memories came rushing back and tears now began streaming wildly from her eyes. "S-Salem... Salem, don't go... I can't leave y... Claudius, please stop... Stop this right now! I'm begging you with all of my life, PLEASE don't kill him! Don't kill my Salem!!"

Claudius gazed down at the broken sight before him with a sneer, and his grip tightened even further, glimmers of green light shining brighter and brighter through the cracks of the runic gem where Salem's consciousness slumbered. His life force was depleting exponentially fast, the gem's sturdy material holding on by a thread.

With swollen bags under her eyes and her nose dripping relentlessly, the girl desperately tries to break free. "Saleeeeeem!! Nnngh, get off of me! Don't do this! STOP!"

The glowing within the cracks became brighter. Salem took one final look at her, facing his death with acceptance. "Goodbye."

"I SAID STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT!!!!" Pema's bellow fractured the heavens, a massive pulse of blue mana erupting through every pore in her body, and knocking the skeletons away. She immediately stood up and sprinted towards Salem, ignoring the intense searing pain in her legs. With every inch she was separated from him, her heart was submerged in dread. With each heavy step, blood leaked out and permeated into large stains. With every breath, her resolve was narrowed into an absolution to save Salem, no matter the cost.

Claudius, caught off guard, looked at the girl who was bounding towards him at an incredible speed. "Wh-What?! How the hell did you--!"

Before he could finish, the young mage was already mere inches from him. Claudius reached for his dagger and swung at her. She side steps away from the blade, disarms the weapon by twisting his wrist backwards, and lunged her other hand forward to grab his left arm that is holding Salem.

Upon contact, a sudden burst of light shone brightly from within Pema's grip. Claudius' dark purple mana swirled around the two of them like a cyclone, and he found himself growing weaker, the strength in his muscles decreasing and his knees collapsing to the floor. With the Necromancer no longer in control, the skeletons disintegrated into dust and the Dragon crumbled apart. At times, it felt like Claudius was inside a vacuum, and he began gasping for air. He looked up at the girl, talking in short breaths to catch the oxygen. "What... is... this! Who are... you?!"

Pema's body absorbed the vast amount of mana, her grip wavering as she felt the energy pour inside her. Letting go of him, Claudius fell to the ground and started coughing and wheezing. Salem fell from his hand and tumbled to the side. Pema gazed at her trembling hands as she shook her head in disbelief. "N-No... No this can't be happening ag... I-I-I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to do this! This isn't...!"

In her momentary daze, she spotted her best friend laying on the floor. "...Salem? Oh my gosh, SALEM!" She frantically crawls through the mud and dirt to carry him in her arms. "Are you all right?! Are you still here? Please talk to me!"

"Pema..." Salem exclaimed through a weary sigh of relief, his mind nearly getting erased after that ordeal. "Yeah, I'm alright."

She hugged him tight. "Oh, thank goodness! But, ah...! Your gem thingy is all cracked and broken. Is it okay like this?"

Before he could respond, Claudius cut through their reunion with an exasperated yell, in the middle of catching his breath. "You little [sonic slicer]! I don't know what kind of trick that was, but you're not getting lucky twice!" He shot out his hand to cast a wave of fire, yet only a tiny spark fizzled from his palm. "What the..." Using both hands, he strained to cast spells, but to no avail. Claudius then searched his hands. "What the hell is going on?! What is-"

His mouth begins to shift ever so slightly... into a smile. Kneeling his head down, Claudius combs his fingers through his hair, and a quiet chuckle that emitted from within soon erupted into enormous laughter. "It's you. Of all the people in the world who could've challenged me face to face... and it is you."

The young girl tilted her head, Salem nuzzled in her warmth. "What are you talking about?" She spoke firmly, but was still visibly shaken by his presence, despite his loss of magic.

"Don't play ignorant with me, girl. You know exactly the kind of power you're capable of." Claudius remarked with furrowed brows. "For over 10 years, I have been searching for someone - a person who was rumored to possess the transcendent ability to absorb mana from their victims. Men travel across the land and seas, information passes from ear to ear; over time, the source of knowledge perverts and atrophies. It can be nearly impossible to pinpoint from where it first started or how much of the narrative is actually the truth anymore. Such an extraordinary ability could be used with great purpose in my hands. And now the myth is delivered to me, in the flesh. To think I would be incapacitated by the subject of my search... the universe does have a twisted sense of humor indeed."

Pema stared at the ground and softly tugged on her sleeve. "I never asked for any of this. It was a mistake."

Salem spoke gently to her. "Come on, Pema. You don't need to listen to any of this. Just tie him up and let the local authorities take care of the rest."

A small glint flickered in Claudius' eye, and he regarded her with a cold gaze. "Now, there is one name that constantly appeared throughout all the stories, no matter how varied and skewed they got."

"No!" She stepped closer to him. "Please don't say it."

"The sheer contempt and hostility you instilled in these people is truly remarkable. The one who bears the accursed touch that spreads death wherever they go. The name is certainly fitting--"

"S-Stop." Pema latched her hands onto his shoulders. Tears welled up on a face that was already red and swollen from the torment he put her through. "I don't want to hear that name anymore!"

"The Devil Child." He declared sardonically.

Her mind went blank - and with a pained shriek, she raised the staff over her head and summoned a large ice shard. Swinging her arm down, the razor sharp crystal was sent whistling through the air at enormous speed towards Claudius' face, however, it stopped just short in front of his nose. Her breathing was heavy and her hands were shaking.

He did not so much as flinch and a crude grin widened along his face. "How could you have the audacity to behave carefree and optimistic with the savagery you brought upon your home? You know, things are finally lining up. I think I may have the full story of what happened here. Fascinating..." He trailed off as he reached for a scroll that was fastened to his belt, and unfurled the parchment onto his lap. The crinkled material was clearly very old, the paper lightly torn in various places and yellow due to age.

Pema aimed her staff at him, in case he was up to something dangerous.

He didn't seem to pay her any attention, and he traced his fingers over the strange language that was scrawled on the parchment. "Truly fascinating. Now it's starting to make sense."

Salem grew tired of the man speaking in circles. "Listen, you better start explaining what the hell it is you're doing right now."

The Necromancer closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. Then, with an exhale, he began. "Everything that the girl is now... began roughly 1,000 years ago. Back when the Guardians ruled over this world, which was forged by The Queen and her followers. This was an age of knowledge and worship, and to that end, there were loyal communities who offered the Gods various "gifts", food, undying faith, and magic. One day, one of the mortals spent over 4 years in secret developing a complex and powerful spell as a gracious offering. Perhaps this was mankind's hubris at work, flying too close to the sun in hopes of reaching a semblance of providence for themselves, but whatever the case may be, this was one of the darkest periods in Arcadian history. On humble knees, before the eyes of the Precursors and The Queen in the council room, the mortal took the hand of a pregnant woman who was going into labor and guided her through the birth of her child. From what I can gather from the inscriptions on this scroll, that woman was apparently a volunteer who agreed to become the subject of his experimental spell months prior to this demonstration. However, something went horribly wrong; upon the birth of her child, the little boy was lifeless... unmoving."

Pema's face went still as she mouthed something undecipherable under her breath, and almost stumbled over herself while backing away from Claudius, briefly clawing at the air with her right hand for balance.

"They tried tapping him on the back," He continued. "Shaking him, speaking to him, but nothing worked. Not so much as even a single heartbeat. He seemed to be... dead. Then, without warning, a few of the Precursors fell to the ground and writhed in agony. The Queen, the mortal, and the remaining Precursors rushed outside and bore witness to the terror that awaited them; hundreds of people collapsing on the ground, begging for help through stifled screams. Light emanated from their bodies, and they went limp - dead - as mana poured out of them and traveled inside the council room. Running back to the room only served to confuse them even more, as the baby boy, who was just seconds ago a lifeless shell, was now full of life and vigor in his mother's arms. Their mana gave him life."

Salem turned and faced his friend. "Pema, this is..."

"...Yeah." She said in a quiet voice.

Claudius rolled up the parchment and placed it back on his belt. Remembering the rest of the inscriptions, he divulged more of the information. "The man had created a name for this spell: Divine Incubation. 'Divine' because it was magic conceived during the period of Gods, and was developed as a gift for the Gods to use freely as they saw fit. As for the 'Incubation', this magic only works when you cast it on a woman in the early stages of pregnancy. It takes several weeks for the ability to manifest within the womb. And, well, you know the result that came of that. At any rate, after that incident, The Queen formally declared to those present during the presentation that the Divine Incubation would henceforth become a "forbidden spell" and labeled as dark magic of the highest order. Because of one mortal's fatal mistake, over 300 lives were lost that day. Anyone who attempted to cast it would be faced with grave punishment. Since the general populace was not privy to the demonstration, a "safe lie" was fabricated for the grieving citizens to divert attention from the truth, and of course, to prevent anyone from replicating that devastating spell. From that moment on, the existence of Divine Incubation was archived and locked deep inside the High Chambers of Pandora, lost to the sands of time."

Pema shook her head in denial and pounded her knuckles against it, her face twisted with fear and confusion. "N-No, this is crazy. You're just joking around, right? Why did my parents... how did they- No...! It hurts to think... I don't want to think about this anymore!"

Salem floated forward. "Now hold on one minute. If the archived history regarding the Div--" He glanced over at Pema, who was hunched over and nervously tugging on her hat's ear flaps. After the brief pause, he continued. "--if knowledge of 'the spell' was locked away 1,000 years ago, how the hell did you obtain access to it?"

Claudius laughed, then tapped a finger against his temple. "I am a researcher. A collector of lost culture and sacred relics. When the City of Pandora fell, various remnants of the past were spread across Arcadia. For example, pillars and statues may fall into an ocean, then several hundreds of years later, the water is dried up and artifacts of a past civilization is preserved inside the sand. I have excavated and searched tirelessly in various regions of the world for architecture, engravings, antiques, and tethers to a forgotten age. The scroll detailing the Divine Incubation, along with some of the customs of the First Empire are one of many tethers I have procured."


Act II. The AnswerEuthyphro Dilemma


Pema took a deep breath and mustered the courage to confront him once more. "But that still doesn't explain why I have it. How did I end up with such a dreadful ability? Everyone who knew about it would be gone now, because that was like, a super long time ago."

Claudius walked over to a stone pillar and leaned his back against it, then slid to the floor. "Well, that is precisely what stumped me for months when I heard of your existence. Simply reading the scroll on the forbidden spell was not enough, so I combed through various inscriptions and passages from Pandora, and was able to formulate a rather cohesive theory. You see, there was a Guardian over 1,000 years ago by the name of "Rei". The Guardians were created as hosts for the Gods, should they need to interact with the physical world. Rei had jotted down personal notes that detailed his life as a Guardian and the hardships he witnessed and endured, including the suffering that transpired due to the Omni-Gem; an extremely powerful object that weaves a balanced equilibrium to prevent the chaos from spiraling out of control. Although public history pretends that people have not lost their lives over the Omni-Gem, the private archives do not. Desperate men murdering civilians and clawing their way to obtain its power, corrupt government officials usurping authority and systemically reworking the capital's infrastructure to gain access to and experiment with ways to utilize the Gem's magical properties. The Queen forged the Omni-Gem to cure the world, but Rei saw it as a burgeoning sickness. Progressively, the seeds of doubt grew as he observed the greed and arrogance in humanity."

Pema idly started to pace around during his talking and closed her eyes, occasionally mumbling "okay" to herself while biting her finger nail. The hyperactive girl with a short attention span clearly had some issues retaining all of this information while standing still, including the few vocabulary words she has never heard of before. Trying her best to hammer in what she's being told, she continued to listen intently.

In a huddled position, he pressed his palms together and stared ambivalently at Pema. "In the sanctity of the council room, when mortals would offer the Gods gifts, services or demonstrate unique feats, The Queen would customarily select one Guardian to stand by her side, as an 'advisor' of sorts. On the day of the Divine Incubation showcase, Rei was chosen to serve at the behest of his master. The man who created that spell explained his step-by-step procedure and how he was able to achieve it. Shortly after the genocide, everyone inside the room was ordered to keep the truth a secret. Rei did as he was told... but then an idea burrowed its way into his mind. Divine Incubation granted the user with the ability to drain the mana out of any person, creature or object -- and that includes the Omni-Gem. This all-powerful crystal, which he viewed as a beacon for malicious men to exercise their vanity, could not be destroyed with brute force nor with offensive magic, however it could be depleted of its energy.

Using mana absorption, the Gem could be reduced to a pile of sand. Rei pondered about ways to use mana absorption to his advantage, however, the boy who wielded that ability was still just an infant, which meant that the only option left was to wait for him to grow up. But several months later, something happened that Rei could not have predicted; Mar had orchestrated a war that cost the lives of soldiers and citizens, as well as some of his fellow Guardians. Rei sunk into a furious rage when he learned that he murdered all those people, and the loss of the Guardians was the final straw. Furthermore, Mar used the Omni-Gem to protect himself while he summoned a massive Chaos Rift over Pandora."

"Who is this Mar person?" Pema tilted her head, visibly weary from where this story was heading.

"He was his mentor." Claudius replied. "Not only was Rei betrayed by his close friend, but it cemented his desire to see the Gem destroyed. After their battle, although Mar had been bested, he quickly manages to possess Rei's immortal body to safely enter the Heart of Chaos, and he merges with enough of it to become a demi-god in the process. Long story short: Reva, the elemental Goddess of darkness, defeats Mar and seals him within the Omni-Gem. That is the last of what was recorded before the City of Pandora fell... but it doesn't end there."


That's kind of the irony, isn't it? The state of happiness isn't immutable; it can vanish in the blink of an eye... but perhaps the most difficult part is overcoming our own hubris... framing ourselves into a materialistic view of what happiness should be... the best we can do as human beings is to live one day at a time... every day it gets a little easier... I just wish I realized it sooner...


The Necromancer shifted his body forward, and Pema backed away a couple steps. His mouth slowly curled into a wry grin, reminiscent to the expression he made when he was torturing the girl. "Although Mar had taken over Rei's body, his lingering consciousness still remained, rooted deep within himself. But most importantly, with Mar merging with the Heart of Chaos and becoming a demi-god, Rei also received those benefits. A vast amount of knowledge and power coursed through the fused being; Rei, too, had tapped into Godhood. It is my firm belief that due to his newfound divine enlightenment, Rei was able to ensure, with his remaining energy, that a reincarnation of himself would be born far into the future. Even though Rei's body is currently sealed inside the Omni-Gem, he would have a spiritual link to his descendant; his life force is no longer present in this world now that Mar has taken over, so it naturally cycled into his next life. Using this link, with his faint consciousness still rattling within his shell of a body, Rei convinced his descendant to secretly perform Divine Incubation on his pregnant wife."

Pema's body suddenly grew hot. She felt bile upheaving inside her esophagus and she shoved a hand over her mouth. Every time she tried to speak, hoarse cracks in her voice would reverberate and her throat tightened.

Salem, although nothing more than a sentient object, could still be defined quite clearly through his speech pattern and he faced Claudius. "Y-You're... not saying..."

Claudius' smile grew wider as he soaked in her dread. "You see, Pema, your father is the mortal reincarnation of Rei. He is the reason why you murdered all those poor, poor innocent people. Their mana flowed into you, so you could live. You only exist to serve as a weapon to destroy the Omni-Gem; to serve a foolish "God" in his self-righteous crusade to save man from their sins."

Every word uttered by the dark sorcerer tugged at the seams of Pema's mind, a flood of painful memories resurfacing. She dropped to her knees and coarsely buried her fingers in the dirt.

Salem couldn't stand to see his friend like this, so he desperately tried to ameliorate the situation. "You claim that this 'Rei' person started all this by reincarnating himself, but that seems like a far-fetched conclusion to me. Also, why would he wait 1,000 whole years for this goal of his?"

Claudius merely scoffed at the questions and crossed his arms. "It is common knowledge that Deities of Olde had numerous rebirths throughout history. Demi-gods are also capable of this, although they can only be reborn as mortals. Because Rei had only ascended to a demi-god for mere seconds before Mar took over completely, I surmise he was unable to accurately pinpoint the origin of his next life. In truth, he's nothing but a false savior; destroying the Gem would cause a large-scale cataclysm, chaos rifts would begin appearing randomly, and the world would fall out of balance. There is nothing to be gained from such an archaic plan."

Pema, still remaining silent, got up and ran over to the Necromancer. She snagged the scrolls that adorned his belt, tossed them on the ground and rapidly skimmed through the passages. Her eyes grew distant the more she read, realizing that he was correct. The context, the history of the Divine Incubation, Rei's increasingly rebellious mental state, the Omni-Gem being one of the sources of conflict in society, her father as the reincarnation... he was right. She could think of no other reason why she had this revolting ability, especially with the extremely limited amount of people who had knowledge of the spell.

Salem floated closer to her. "Pema... I'm so sorry..."

Claudius laughed heartily as he watched her downcast posture. "It's no use, Devil Child. Your life is forfeit. There is no happiness that awaits you."

The silence that followed was palpable. A cold breeze flowed and tree leaves in the distance rustled underneath the orange hue of the steadily encroaching sunrise. Soon enough, the birds could be heard chirping, their tunes echoing and being carried along the wind. The sweet fragrance of nectar wafted in the air from where flowers were able to grow in fertile soil, despite much of this land being remarkably dry. The young mage girl slowly leaned her head up towards the sky and allowed her light blue hair to dance in the wind, using one hand to wipe away stray tears from her rosy cheeks.

Pema rises from the floor, leaving the scattered parchments behind her and delicately brushes off the dirt from her dress. She adjusts the hat on her head and straightens out her bangs, then with calm eyes drawn towards the sorcerer, she delivers a voice smoother than silk. "I'm afraid that's the wrong answer, Mr. Claudius."

He winced at the girl's peaceful demeanor. How had she gotten so calm in spite of the horrors he laid out for her?

Pema wrapped her arms around herself to keep warm in the chilly air, and she began to speak while peering at the sunlight cascading along the landscape. "I don't regret a single day from my time in this world. Sometimes life can be really scary and you can doubt yourself, but there is happiness to be found in every corner. Growing up in my village, I was never well liked. Everyone hated me. The tragedy that I caused during my birth tore apart countless families, and I could barely stand to live with that. On many days, I curled up in bed underneath my covers and shut my eyes as hard as I could. For once, I didn't want to think about or process anything... It felt like there was a suffocating pain permanently embedded within myself. I wanted to stop existing... at least for a little while. At least until I could understand what meaning lay behind this pain. A quiet state of non-existence where I could finally stop hurting, and nothing more. It was like this for years... until I realized that a pearl of beauty lies beneath the surface of tragedy. I learned to look at the bare essence of the incident. The lives of hundreds of people stirred within me, and I refused to let them go to waste.

I got out there and volunteered, doing whatever I could to give back to my community, after I've already taken so much. Mommy suggested that I should become a Runemaster to help others even more, and I thought that was a wonderful idea! Exploring nature, harvesting crops, hunting down animals for food, going on escort assignments for, umm... 'diplomats' I think they're called? And sometimes we even fight beasts and a wide variety of other creatures, mostly for food and sometimes using their skin to create all sorts of pretty clothes. There isn't a single moment in this crazy, beautiful existence of ours that I don't reflect on the people who passed away all those years ago; because of them, with every step I take, I strive to live my life to the fullest. Making lots of new friends, socializing, traveling to the edges of the horizon, helping those in need, eating soooooo much delicious food! Without their sacrifice, I wouldn't have survived my birth. I share my life, my experiences, my world, with those who I owe everything to."

Claudius glared at the mage with contempt. The frightened little girl from minutes before was nowhere to be found. He began to prod more into her history. "You insolent pest, have you forgotten that your own father casted Divine Incubation to use you as a tool? Are you so naive to ignore the fact that Rei wanted the Omni-Gem destroyed out of misguided self-interest, at the cost of the world being devastated by chaos rifts?"

Pema lightly smiles and bends down to collect the scrolls. She walks over to Claudius and rests them by his feet. "I don't think Mr. Rei was a bad person. And he wasn't selfish either. When you first told us about his plan to use me for his own goals, I felt so horrible... but then I really started to think about it. From what you told me and Salem, he seemed to have a really strong sense of harmony. He got super mad and couldn't handle seeing all of his friends and innocent lives destroyed by that 'Mar' jerk. I don't know a whole lot about chaos rifts, but I do know that they can be closed. I truly believe that, deep down, Mr. Rei wanted everyone to work together as a community to stabilize the rifts. Instead of people doing dreadful things to steal the Omni-Gem's energy, he sought to bring together everyone under a common goal to keep their planet safe, and just maybe, the cycle of violence and greed could be broken if we collectively saw what was worth fighting for. This was the purpose of the Gem's destruction."

She mournfully rubbed her arm and thought more about what he tried to accomplish. "Two hundred and thirty-seven..." Her eyes were glossed over with clarity. "237 human lives were lost on the day of my birth. That was the price he had to pay for peace. For the greater good, he needed to sacrifice lives in order to achieve the future moral stability of humanity. I don't agree with his method; thinking about the families and friends who were traumatized that day sickens me to my core, and the ability I have disgusts me... but I can understand where he was coming from, after what happened to his own people. Well, understand to an itty bitty degree, at least.

I still remember when mommy cradled me in her arms, tears rolling down her cheeks, and told me the story about the day I was born. It was the exact parallel of what you described 1,000 years ago - but now that I recall, she mentioned that my dad cried a lot harder than even she did. Harder than he did in his whole life. Mr. Rei must've known that daddy wouldn't have gone through with performing the Divine Incubation if he told him about the sacrifices required, so he probably explained that mana absorption was some sort of "holy gift" used to destroy the source of evil. Of course I don't know exactly what he said, but whatever it was, it was enough to convince him, and mommy was definitely kept in the dark about all of this. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I forgive him. Even if he doesn't forgive himself. My parents were allowed to raise me for the first few years of my life, but ultimately, their punishment was exile... Daddy hugged me tight shortly before they left and apologized constantly for all the pain I had to endure. I wish I knew where they were right now. I miss them lots and have so many things I wanna tell them."


I see... a purpose made resolute.


Heat rose to the Necromancer's skull and he furrowed his brows. "Such a pathetic waste. You have no idea of the devastating potential that lies within you, do you?! Most of the mana you absorbed that day is locked away deep inside, but once you become an adult, you will have access to all of it. Your boundless magical power will rival divinity itself! And now you want to assist Rei in his goal."

She shook her head. "I have no interest in all of that. Having that much power can go to your head, and I couldn't bear to hurt anyone by accident. And I don't know if it's the right thing to destroy the Omni-Gem since it keeps balance in this world... but I'm also unsure if I should maintain an object which tempts people to kill their way to obtain its power."

Salem sighed. "The Queen and Rei's conflicting ideals, huh? The will of the Gods. Build a community founded on newer precedents, or preserve the old ways... Who knows how either choice will shape the future?"

Pema nodded and smiled brightly. "Mm-hm! There may come a time where I have to make that decision, but until then, I'll continue to help out whoever I can in my adventures! This great big world is filled with such fascination and endless wonder, I'm really excited to see what happens next."

"A peasant helping other peasants," Claudius spat with discontent, his face contorted into a grotesque bitter expression. "Disgusting dog. You are unfit to wield this gift. I should've killed you when I had the chance."

Her gaze was filled with pity as she cast her sight onto the dark sorcerer. His emaciated face was caked with filthy grime, saliva at the corners of his mouth, dried blood spatters on his skin and beads of sweat on his forehead. Pema exhaled sorrowfully and knelt down in front of him. "There is so much ugly hatred and anger built up inside you, to the point where it weighs you down with nowhere to go... You murder and pillage because it's easier to despise than to allow yourself to be free. Human life is precious. I am here. And you are here. Aware of ourselves. To me, well, I just think that's beautiful. Mr. Claudius... I truly do feel sorry for you."

Claudius gritted his teeth and tightened his fists. "Sorry for what?"

The girl stood up from the ground. The sun from earlier had now risen even further, rays of light slicing through the thick white clouds. The cool wind blew once more and Pema's dress fluttered gracefully. Her soft skin had a tender radiance underneath the vibrant sky. With a gentle touch, she shifted a strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm sorry that you don't love yourself."

In that moment, Salem found himself irrevocably entranced. Pema's clear blue eyes were sincerely genuine, and her soothing voice was light as a feather. She had a nurturing maternal glow, and when her lips curled into a kind smile, it felt like you were being pulled into her warmth. In all of the years that Salem has known her, he has never seen her quite like this.

Although he attempted to hide it, Claudius was shaken gravely by Pema's words. The seething rage inside him boiled over and his facial nerves were twitching uncontrollably. "Y-You little... you...!" Suddenly, the ghastly man got up and lunged at her with full force.

The Runemaster swiftly dodged his attack, kicked the back of his knee which caused him to fall down, and she grabbed his arms from behind to press them together. "Freeze!" Pema casted an ice spell on Claudius' hands, and within an instant, his arms were tied behind his back with his hands encased in a massive block of ice. He fervently struggled to break free, but with his mana completely drained, there was no way to shatter it. She then began to drag the heavy Necromancer with all of her strength to one of the stone pillars. Scanning the environment for a few seconds, she spotted sturdy chains nearby - after all, this area used to be an old coliseum, they likely kept all manner of beastly creatures in chains. Pema took the chains and proceeded to tie them around the stone pillar and Claudius' body.

"Do you have any idea who you're dealing with?!" He crudely barked. "Get me out of these goddamn chains!!"

After fastening the restraints tightly around him, she stepped in front of him. "Salem and I will contact the local authorities about your capture. You've terrorized so many villages, hurt too many people, and your portrait is everywhere on those wanted posters... your path of destruction ends now."

Pema walked away from him and stretched out her exhausted arms above her. She tapped the tip of toes on the floor and placed her hands on her hips while rotating her torso. It has been a long, long day, and now it was time to depart.

Salem stared at the defeated Necromancer for a bit and then hovered over to him. "It would appear that your plan to tear down Pema backfired. You held fast to the notion that Rei's story was about arrogant narcissism, but it was a tale of unity. You impressed your belief of deep shame and regret onto Pema's history, however it was really one of prosperity and freedom. Her most valuable ability is not mana absorption, but the fact that she is able to deconstruct tragedy, and build purpose and meaning from the very foundation. Hell, she's only a little kid, and yet she is easily the strongest person I have ever met. There are plenty of grown men who would never be able to endure the trauma she suffered through in her past. They'd mentally collapse under the sheer guilt and fear.

You know, it's funny, earlier you questioned how she could be so optimistic despite the Divine Incubation incident, and you condemned her for it...

But she is not the problem; Pema is the answer."



Anyway, I guess that's just how I see it... sh-[parasitic bomb], my body's getting cold... I can't... feel my limbs... I-I suppose...




"... I deserved this." A deathly pale Salem speaks in a brittle voice, lying on the floor near the altar and losing blood fast. The liquid crimson soaked through his clothes and pooled beneath him, his cold hand creating a ripple as it fell to his side.

The elderly Runemaster, who went by the name of Tälja, offered Salem his name in return for his words. After being severely wounded from fending off the cult, Tälja was not in much better shape than the man opposite of him.

Salem's green eyes felt heavy and could barely be kept open as the man explained to him about a way to continue living. He spoke about his wife, his home, his daughter, the things he held dear. Even though Salem was drifting in and out of consciousness, he was able to hang onto every word.

With a weak groan, Tälja raised his staff in the air and chanted a spell. A means to bind a soul. Salem's sight was affixed onto the levitating staff above him. And then─

A flash of light.



Act III. Finale


Salem floated away from Claudius, who simply wore a dejected expression. As he approached Pema, he thought to himself about how far she has come. They've been on countless adventures together and he still manages to find little things about her that surprises him. These moments, big or small, meant everything to him. "Heh, she really has matured a lot, hasn't she? She's growing up faster than I'd ever imagine."

Pema lifted up her sleeve and shook loose some crumbs from the "sleeve waffles" directly into her mouth.

Salem stared at her dumbfounded. "Okay, maybe I spoke too soon..." He muttered to himself, but chuckled happily.

Yep. Every moment.

She turns around and waves him over. "Hey! You ready to go?"

"Yeah, all set." Salem responded. "We should probably make haste though, who knows how long it will take until his mana is replenished."

Pema nodded. "Hmm, that's true. I did feel a very faint pulse of mana from him when I tied him up. I'd say there's several hours left until he's back at full strength, so we should definitely hurry. The thing is though..." She grabbed the hem of her dress and lifted it, revealing the cuts on her legs from where the skeletons slashed her. "They still burn kinda bad, I hope we can make it into town in time."

"Ah crap, that's no good. Those wounds could get infected if we don't treat them soon." Salem remarked. "How about this: you lay me down horizontally and perch yourself on top. That way, we can fly there and make it in record time."

Her eyes lit up and she clapped her hands together. "That's a wonderful idea! Yeah, let's do it. Oh, but what about your runic gem thingy? It's all cracked."

"Haha, don't worry about it." He reassured her. "It regenerates over time. Last time it was chipped, the form was renewed in a couple of days."

She smiled warmly. "Okay, that's good."

Pema looked fondly at her best friend, enjoying all of the time they spend together. She gently hugged him with all of her heart. "I love you, Salem."

"I love you too, Pema." He softly replied back.

It was a brand new day. A whole new adventure.

The young Runemaster flew away with her friend and made headway into town, ready for whatever lies ahead.

(I wrote like 60% of this last year and then procrastinated with something else.)


Wilypocalypse Gaiden, Vol. 1

In approximately 2 months, I will have finally set out to reunite with the man known as Archetype. To tell you the truth, it feels almost surreal. We haven't seen each other in 5 years. Reaching him again will certainly be an experience.

In the meantime, Akane implored that I head into the city to find a place to stay, for the time being. She specifically chose a district that was within the closest vicinity to our rendezvous point, and told me of an apartment complex in the area.


Day 1
4:58 p.m.


Once I arrived and strolled around the sidewalk for a bit, a man named Sigma claimed to be in need of a roommate. First impression, he's actually quite good looking. Well-built, average height. His hair seems rather greasy, however, and by the state of his disheveled clothing, I can surmise he quickly threw an outfit together; it's possible he's running on a tight schedule. Being a college student would do that, I suppose.

I began to tell him some things about myself, but he cut me off and assured me that I was fine. It didn't take much to convince Sigma to let me stay with him. Although, I can only hope he didn't make a decision based on my gender.

The last thing I want is to be living in the same apartment with a perv.


Day 2
12:06 p.m.


I decided to perform a test.

I hollered out to Sigma that I was climbing a ladder and needed assistance getting down. In less than a second, he barged into my room and darted his eyes around for the ladder in hopes of seeing an upskirt.

Sigma is a perv.


Day 3
10:35 a.m.


Sigma makes me breakfast and apologizes for his behavior yesterday. I accepted, but firmly warned him that I wasn't some helpless woman. Any peeping will be formally greeted with my foot in his ass.


Day 4
1:52 p.m.


Sigma was at school for pretty much the entire day. I headed out and contacted Akane through the morphogenetic field, receiving updates on what she's found on the Nonary Organization.


Day 5
3:14 p.m.


Still in my pajamas, I walked into the dining room area to find Sigma playing with his cat, which he has so lovingly named "Emperor Pawpatine".

Sigma had off from classes that day, and his girlfriend hasn't called him back for several days, so he's been in quite the rut. He decided to stay in and watch Netflix. Not a very productive way to spend time, but then again, "productive" is not a word I’d use to describe him.

As I got to know him better through our conversations and his odd sense of humor, I couldn't help but shake the feeling that… I know this man from somewhere. Or at least, I think I do.

Sigma...

Why does that name sound familiar?

As I began to nod off with Firefly playing on Sigma's Netflix stream, I swear I heard him making cat puns to Emperor Pawpatine.

I… I'd rather not question it.


Day 6
7:43 p.m.


"... And so I wrestle the foul beast to the ground! Both of us roll ferociously in the dirt and my biceps tear through my shirt in the struggle, glistening brilliantly as I raise him above my head and hurl him into the sky with super human strength-"

"Wait, wait, hold on. Just how long is this story anyway?" Phi reclined on the couch with her feet resting on top of the coffee table.

Sigma groaned. "Dude, it's not just some story. My professor wanted us to write a detailed paper on where we see ourselves in 10 years. Our careers, aspirations, yadda, yadda, all that good [parasitic bomb]."

"So basically, you see yourself with Superman strength, a horse that transforms into a car, and becoming the founder of National Swimsuit Day? Is that what's going to happen?" She exclaimed with sarcasm and grabbed a beer from the cooler.

"Are you even old enough to drink?" He asked.

"No." She said as she cracked it open.

Sigma stood up from his chair and raised his finger in objection, taking a deep breath as if he was going to scold her. "Ehhh…" He fanned his hand in disinterest and plopped back in the chair.

He tossed her a drink coaster and continued from where they left off. "Well, I was thinking more like bionic arms. Maybe with some laser action goin' on… and a built-in grappling hook would be [tornado fang]ing sweet, too."

Phi caught the coaster in between her two fingers and raised an eyebrow. "Seriously?"

"My house, my rules." He grabbed a beer of his own. "Well, uh, crappy old apartment, but you get the idea."

"A crappy old apartment you really need to clean more often." Phi scrunched up her face in disgust and shoved Sigma's dirty t-shirt off the couch. "Using the coasters seem rather useless, considering this place is becoming a real pigsty."

"Le gasp, how dare you! Cover your ears, Pawpatine." Sigma turned his nose up and held his cat to his chest defensively.


Day 7
2:18 p.m.

 
The more time I spend with Sigma, the more I suspect that Akane set this up. His familiarity can't be a coincidence. Does she know something about him that I don't?

I decided to conduct a very complex and multi-layered experiment when I stepped into the living room while he was doing his crunches.

"Man oh man, Akane sure hasn't spoken to us in quite some time. I hope she's alright." Phi said aloud.

"Nah, I talked to her last night, she's doing fine." Sigma replied.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"... [parasitic bomb]."


Day 8
12:03 a.m.


Sigma the genius had no choice but to tell me everything. He offered to take me out to lunch first, and after we got back from the restaurant, we spent the rest of the time discussing our connection to Akane, in addition to why we needed to meet. The conversation lasted for so long that it bled into the next day.

Anyway, it turns out that ol' Siggy is a morphogenetic user as well, however, he has no interest in saving the world. He just wants to be an average college student. Akane contacted him because Sigma and I worked together in alternate timeline under vastly different circumstances, and she hoped that our morphogenetic resonance would, in turn, fine tune and strengthen my signal to Arche. Because Akane is an old woman, she alone would not be strong enough to help me. Perhaps she had the right idea by sending Sigma my way, considering I've been out of practice for months.

There was one detail that didn't make sense to me though: Why hide it? Why wouldn't she just tell me to meet him? Well, as Sigma was relaying Akane's explanation to me in a bumbling manner, she stated that resonance has the greatest effect when the other party has no knowledge or recollection of the subject in question. I had to go in completely blind, essentially. Once they get to know the person and create a bond with them, the boost in their ability is tremendous. Of course, it's very possible to build a strong resonance with someone even with the knowledge of who they are prior to meeting them, however, that takes a much longer time; one year, if you're lucky. Akane and I are on a tight schedule, and we can't really afford to wait that long.

After our little chat, Sigma apologized to me, fearing that he may have compromised everything with his incompetence.

"Look, don't worry about it." Phi crossed her legs while sitting on the couch. "I've gotten to know you rather well over these past 8 days, so Akane's plan wasn't a total failure. I'm sure we’ve strengthened each other a good amount, even if the amplification process is incomplete. I just hope this will be enough when I leave this place next month."

He sat down next to her. "Parting is such sweet sorrow, isn't it?"

With a puzzled look, she glanced at Sigma, who was sighing dramatically and gazing inquisitively at the sky outside the window, as if he was twirling a glass of wine and pondering life's mysteries. Then he turned to her. "You know, Phi, maybe you could give me your number, and we could-"

"Not a chance." She interrupted.

"... I had to try..." He muttered quietly under his breath and poked at a pillow next to him.

And so, Sigma and I will spend the next few weeks hanging out together. The rent is inexpensive, so I can't complain in that regard. And although he can be inappropriate at times, he's not such a bad guy… I think.

8 days down, 23 to go.


(I don't plan to write any more volumes. Not anytime soon anyway. For years, I spoke about bringing Sigma into WilyRP, so I finally stopped being lazy and finished it.

You guys feel free to add more volumes with your characters, if you want.)
