Cross ⭐ Reverse, AKA: Anime: the forum game. ( OOC, 9/10?)
« on: December 02, 2016, 08:51:09 pm »

Now is the time to strike back against the orders of holy knights.

The self-proclaimed righteous warriors who plague these lands.

The paladins who claim even the slightest pinch of evil to be an abomination, to be punished and slaughtered.

And it is time for the brave souls of the world to rise up and take action, be they stained with demon blood or simply against the rule of the holy knights.

Our victory is assured, once and for all, because at this place, on this day...

Anime is real.

Sooo, anyway, the entire point of this forum game is simple: create ridiculous, overpowered anime characters with ridiculous, over-the-top anime weapons and ridiculous, all-consuming anime powers for the purpose of embarking on ridiculous, contrived anime journeys to destroy ridiculous, inhuman anime villains. How ridiculous we talkin' here? well, have a look at some of your required reading and you'll find out. For those of you who don't want to read the wall of text story, I'll include a TL;DR version. I've honestly been dreaming of something like this for some time now, but anyone who participated in roll to twitch knows I'm too lazy to do any forum games without help. However, I do have help this time! I've recruited a few fellow bay12ers to make sure that at least one of us (probably) is always in proper shape to continue this ridiculous RP!

Anyway, here's the story. It explains quite a few things about the setting, I.E, all you need to know.

Whoo, mama, that was a big one. So, here's the TL;DR version:

Spoiler: story, TL;DR version (click to show/hide)

Alright, that takes care of that. Now, I'll bet you want in on the action, eh? Well, here's how! Post with your own character sheet following the template provided, and we in the GM squad will suggest any edits (probably none) that need to be made to ensure your character is reasonable (fat chance!) and fits properly into the lore of the world. (probably won't come up. Non-contrived lore is for wimps.)

Spoiler: character sheet (click to show/hide)


To all those of you worrying about dice and mechanics and all that, don't be. We are literally making up the mechanics as we go along. Why, you ask? This is anime designed to rival Jojo's bizarre tengen yu-gi-ball shippudone piece. If we were to NOT rely on contrived asspull physics and mechanics, we'd be forsaking the entire point of this thread!

I'm actually Co-GM'ing this with a couple other people other people, so if you've got any issues don't be afraid to ask any of us three. The users who are effectively GM'ing this are myself, Sl4cker and KJ1225.

IC is up! IC link.

Here is my application.

Name: Master Tactician Oroka
Gender: Male Female
Age: 32
Weapon: Boat Oar
Powers:
All part of my plan - If something bad happens, Oroka may proclaim that it is all a part of his her plan, and reality shifts in such a way that something goes in this characters favor as a direct result of it as he she simultaneously explains how it was part of his her plan. The results of this thing are never as effective as the badness that triggers it. (Supposedly Oroka actually DID plan for this, but in terms of gameplay, its a reality warp). The more ridiculous this gets, the better. A chain of plans can be broken when an ally chastises Oroka for including whatever misfortune has befallen them in this 'plan'. This ability works in addition to REAL strategy.
Pratfall - When the situation is not in serious mode, Oroka will comedically get knocked away by attacks regardless of whether or not they are weak or strong; however this character will suffer no meaningful injuries from said attacks. If Oroka isn't fighting seriously, she is treating the situation as a game.
Martial Arts Master - This ability only works with in serious mode. Oroka suddenly is able to fight competently with impressive strength, speed and forsight.
Kashō hyōka - Oroka jabs an enemy in a sensitive spot with his her finger. The damage inflicted with this attack is inversely proportional to how much the enemy respects him her.
Chick Magnet - For whatever reason, Oroka gets a lot of attention from other women. Most people would like this ability, but Oroka has no romantic interest in girls.
Spoiler: Secret Power (click to show/hide)

Fighting style:
Combat Pragmatism - The art of fighting dirty.
Eku - The art of fighting with a Boat Oar.

Stats:
Durability: Depends on how funny things are
Magic: Varies
Strength when things are normal: Normal
Strength when things are serious: Serious
Practicality: Rube Goldberg
Speed: Inversely proportional to how much it is needed
Luck: Debatable
Appearance: About as androgynous as a woman with a large chest size can be.
Fanboys: Zero
Fangirls: Many
Desire for Fangirls: None
Shipped: Mercilessly
Edits: More than eight
Morality: Goldenrod?

Backstory in point form notes
- Oroka comes from a noble family, but is not royalty.
- At the age of one, Oroka's parents decided to arrange Oroka's marriage.
- Oroka's gender was changed to female at the age of three.
- Oroka has an identical twin, known today as Master Tactician Shinkoku.
- Oroka became a magical girl at the age of ten.
- Oroka stopped being a magical girl at the age of twelve, supposedly because of "Impure Thoughts"
- Oroka became demon-touched at the age of sixteen, granting her supernatural planning abilities.
- Oroka's boyfriend broke up with her the day after that. She hasn't had another one since then, not from lack of trying. Yes, this is despite having supernatural planning abilities.
- After graduating from high school at the age of eighteen, Oroka furthered her education at a place called "Gallant Military Academy"
- Oroka was expelled from Gallant Military Academy at the age of twenty. Supposedly because of "Impure Thoughts"
- Oroka began travelling the world the day before she turned twenty one. Possibly to avoid the aforementioned arranged marriage.
- Oroka was demon-touched again at the age of twenty three. She didn't change much this time. Time travel may have been involved somehow.
- Oroka first found employment as a tactician in a foreign country at the age of twenty five.
- The Holy Knights put a bounty on Oroka at age twenty seven. Her crime: Being Demon-Touched, Involvement in Conspiracy, and "Impure Thoughts"
- It wasn't until the age of twenty eight that Oroka was actually involved in a conspiracy.
- Oroka made the top twenty on the Holy Knights bounty list for killing a high ranking knight at the age of thirty.
- Oroka was fired from her tactician job at the age 31. The reason? Her employers did not want the attention of the holy knights.
- The real reason Oroka was fired might have actually been because she rejected the romantic advances of her bosses daughter.
- Oroka actively went to war against the Holy Knights at age 32.

I think I'm done


I had honestly pictured people going a fair bit more all-out with their character descriptions. Like what Supernerd did, if not with yet much more text. I Have created a character or two for this game, who will show up as an NPC eventually, and I had an absolute boatload of fun writing in all the walls of text that captured exactly how impossibly edgy they were and painted a vivid mental picture of every horrifying detail of their transformation. In summation, I'd like to recommend you spend a little bit more time finding new things to write into your character sheet that make your non-mustardy friend incredibly ridiculous and over-the-top, but if you want to save that for when things go IC, That's fine too. Just let me know if that's what you're doing, ok?

I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Seanic: that the point of this thread tended more towards having fun writing up walls of text which perfectly capture how ridiculous your character is, but if you'd rather only get ridiculous once the IC rolls around, then hey, whatever floats ya boat. You're in.

Weapon: longsword
Alignment: good
Wielded By: a specific religious order

And in comes a character I had some fun co-inventing over the planning discord. Since KJ is one of the co-GM's, this character's going in the list of important NPC's.

No one saw anything about a sword. That was an accidental paste of an unrelated thing.
