S-cry-ed signups.
 
As I said before this will be more or less free form. The character you will create will go about his life interecting, or not, with the other people rping. Then every once and awhile a major story event will happen. It will either pull together everyone or a large portion of the people playing and will have an impact on all the individual story arcs going on. Also, due to the more or less open nature sign ups will not close except under extreme cases in which case there will be an annoucement.

Ok now the sign up:
Name: (Name of your character.)
Age:
Gender:
Description: (Tells us what you look like.)
Personality:
Bio: (Your past and if you want how you found your alter power.)

Alter Name: (What do you call your alter.)
Alter Description: (Describe your alter's three forms and any special powers.)

Raiden 09-12-2005 07:06 PM

Name: Kinsei Nimuro
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Description: Stands 6'2" tall, with shaggy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He wears a white glove on his left hand, and a black glove on his right.
Personality: Believes strongly in justice, even if you need to fight for it. His fighting style is crazy and unpredictable. He can catch an opponent by surprise by doing something that seems both impossible and stupid, and manages to pull it off. He's liked by children and is found humerous by many. Those with little senses of humor quickly get annoyed by him.
Bio: Thomas was always a guardian growing up. He would protect the younger kids from the bigger kids, even if it meant that he was beaten to a pulp in the process. He'd just laugh it off and walk on. In one fight, an opponent pulled an altar out of thin air. Thomas was not one to be outdone. If his opponent was going to use an altar, then so was he, god damn it! However, he didn't know if he had an altar or not. By pure luck he managed to pull one out. Combined with his swords and his crazy way of fighting, he beat the bully quite thoroughly.

Needless to say, bullies in his area dwindled in numbers quickly. Now he just wanders, looking for things to save and rights to protect. He has no real goals or hopes. He just takes in the moment.

Alter Name: The Swords of the Seraphim of Justice

Alter Description:

1st Form: His alter takes the form of twin blades and a golden headband that holds his hair out of his eyes. The swords are named Dawn and Dusk. Dawn is held in the left hand. It's made of a white metal, and increases the wielder's speed, agility, and defensive skills. Dusk is held in the right hand. It's made of a black metal, and increases the wielder's strength, force, and offensive skills. His super attack in this form has him grow a pair of gray wings on his back, allowing him to fly forward at incredible speeds at his opponent and strike hard with his swords. The wings disappear after the attack.

2nd Form: In this form, Seraphim's swords change from 'Dawn and Dusk' to 'Day and Night'. The swords become a foot longer, and are so keen, they can cut through all but the densest of materials. The enhancements the swords give to the wielder are increased. Day has a golden sheen now, with rubies imbedded along the hilt. Night has gained a silver sheen, and emeralds are placed on the hilt. Also, it seems that the swords gain wills of their own. Day is either defensive or swift killing, causing as little pain to the target as possible. Night is purely offensive, trying to kill or maim as much as possible. The physical changes to Seraphim himself is that he now has wings protruding from his back for the duration of the change, not just for a super attack. The left wing is pure white and made of the softest feathers. The right wing is dark colored and scaly, like a dragon's wing. The golden headband surrounds the eyes, and two small horns are found on his forehead. His hair turns long and white, and while his left eye remains blue, his right eye turns red. The super attack in this form has him firing spikes of darkness from Night, and powerful beams of light from Day.

3rd Form: In this form, Seraphim's long white hair goes down to his ankles, and the golden headband turns into a golden mask. The small horns on his forehead become large and crooked. (Think of Hellboy's horns when he turns into a devil king, only keep out the fiery crown.) His body is covered in a hard armor. The left side of the armor is white and shiny, while the right side of the armor is dark and twisted. (Seeing a pattern here?) Day and Night change yet again. The hilts of the two swords are connected and they become 'Twilight', a double ended sword. The wings look the same, but only larger. The super attack for this form is that a group of enemies are captured in a sphere of light. Then, Seraphim combines highly concentrated forms of light and darkness, creating antimatter within the barrier. Any matter within the light barrier is almost instantly erased.

I know I didn't post in the interest thread, but I'm too interested... S-cry-ed really grabbed my interest when it was on Adult Swim, so I really do feel like making a character and being creative.

Anyway, if it's alright, I'll post something eventually.

Sithdarth 09-12-2005 07:18 PM

Of course it's all right the more people doing this the better it will be.

Aerozord 09-12-2005 08:03 PM

Name: Renor
Age: 22
Gender: male
Description: Six foot even with a lean build for his size. His hair is slightly grown out and is pushed back. His hair is normally jet black but becomes silver when using his alter. He often wears a uniform of pure black
Personality: Self absorbed and egotistical. He knows how strong he is and places himself above basically everyone else. However he still works well with his two partners. He rarely speaks unless in battle, and even then he isn't that talkative.
Bio: he met up with his two partners years ago and formed an underground anti-human faction. However this group was different from the others. They believed the strength of an alter user decides his place in society, that all alter users should strive to be stronger, and that the best way is too suffer. So they not only wish to fight the mainland, but will gladly attack other alter users.

Alter Name: Solaris (sometime refferes to it as perfection)
Alter Description: Is a free form sphere of pure matter, energy, and will. It is able to harden and solidify any part of itself at will. Normally fights using whip like spikes (think sensway's anteni).

Only difference between its three forms is its size and how complex its forms can be.
-----------------------------------------------
Also if anyone is interested in playing his partners let me know. I will list their alter powers

Alter: Dopple-ganger
1st: A visor that can scan another alter and copy it. Alters strength depends on dopple-ganger's user, not the power of the copied alter's user.

2nd: Helmet that can copy two alter powers. It can also create a mirror image of one alter to have a duplicate of it. Strength of the copy still depends on Dopple-ganger's user

3rd: Has the abilities of the last two forms but can make up to six alters(can only create two copies of an alter, a direct copy and an inverted one). Can also destroy one alter to repair and recharge another. Again strength depends on the user. Only create a total of six, so you cant make six, use it to repair another, then make it again.

Alter: unnamed
1st: Can create inert matter from other materials.

2nd: Can take other alters and turn them into inert matter

3rd: Can disintegrated basically anything but living organisms

All his powers require time to fully take affect. Stronger the alter, harder it is to break it apart.

Truce 09-12-2005 08:23 PM

Name: Raviel
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Description: (I'm lazy, so I'll just post an image of myself)
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b6...Regularjoe.jpg
Personality: He believes in his own destiny, and acts without doubt upon what he believes must be done. Though its easy for him to smile and hide behind a mask of one of an innocent there are times where he shows how cold or how cruel he can be. He never removes his sunglasses, afraid that someone might look into his eyes and see him for who he is.
Bio: Ever since he was a child, things seemed to disappear at his very touch. He didn't understand why or how, nor did he realize that it was he who was causing it to happen, but that did not stop others for blaming him, and dealing out what they believed what a suitable punishment.
Eventually, though, he figured out that he had an altar, but he still couldn't bring it under control. The events kept on happening, and people continued hating him, and he hated himself for being an altar-user.
However, one day, when he was just fifteen, he was coming home when he saw that his residential area was being ravaged. Never before did he wish to have more power, so he could've done something...and yet, in the end, his own family killed as they were trying to escape, while he could only watch from afar.
Since that day, he has trained himself, recently reaching his second altar level, essentially living and breathing for that person who murdered his family.

Alter Name: Kamikaze
Alter Description:

1st Form:
His first altar form isn't like other altars; it takes matter he touches and turns it into air. It is done quickly and silently.
2nd Form:
The second altar form takes the form of a red crown with three black gems embedded at its base. With this altar, not only can he change matter into air but he can control the air he created through will (though, his movements can help focus it).
3rd Form:
In his final form, the crown becomes a black halo, and the deeper its color the more power Raviel still has with him. He also gains a pair of crimson bat wings which he can use to maneuver in the air or protect himself, and he gains control over all air around him within a 100 foot radius, not just the air he created himself.

phil_ 09-12-2005 08:38 PM

Name: GadGad Goesben
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Description: 5'9". 125lbs. Medium length dark blonde hair that curls and forms a sort of mane. Defined, but not quite square, jaw. Tan skin, green eyes. Ropey muscles. Wears a blue jacket, white shirt, and loose green cloth pants.
Personality: Kind to a great fault, GadGad tries to see the good in everyone he meets, and even when there's none there, he can convince himself he found it. He sees the world in a positive light and has trouble rememberingg that others don't see things the way he sees them. GG is forgetful at times and easily distracted. Sometimes his constant cheerfulness and odd way of speaking annoys those around him.
Bio: "Gadabout" is a word I learned long after I first made GadGad's character in an old RP. It describes him as well as one word can.

GadGad was raised by his mother; he never knew his dad nor does it occur to him that he should. He lived a normal life, or as normal as life can be in the lost ground, until he was about ten. He just decided one day to walk to the next town, and didn't think about going home until almost a year later, when he'd reached the other end of the lost ground. During his travels, about three years ago, in the central mountain range, he came across a delapidated old shack. He found an old man, and decided to "make friends." The man welcomed GadGad's company when he learned that GG wasn't with HOLD. The man was an alter user, but his power was only to see who else was an alter-user. For a laugh one day, GG and the old man chose to test whether GadGad was an alter user. Surprisingly (for them, because we already know :P ), GadGad was an unawakened alter-user. The old man taught him how to access an alter-power, and within a few weeks GadGad could create... a pair of really comfy shoes. This wasn't a problem to GadGad--he was delighted to have new shoes, especially such cool-looking ones. Eventually. GadGad's waderlust caught up with him, and he moved on.

His current life consists of wandering and helping whoever he decides to befriend with anything from chores to vendettas.

Alter: Manticore's Claw

(note the changes that come from realizing that one has a motiff)

Stage 1: Forms paw-like shoes on the user's feet. A small cushion of air keeps the shoes from ever hitting the ground. This allows the user to walk great distances without the normal foot pain. Curiously, it also gives the user a good sense of air currents, allowing the user to accurately feel movement through the air. It's not a very strong alter, but it can be maintained for days at a time and is easy to summon. In times of great need, the user can greatly increase the air cushion, allowing for a very high jump or a burst of horizontal speed. The alter is consumed in the process, leaving landing and stopping up to the user's un-aided strength.

Stage 2: The shoes gain stronger jets, allowing the user to jet and jump in the same manner as stage one's desperation move. The user also gains small gliding-wings and a mechanical tail. The tail is ended in a small sphere with holes goin into it. These allow the tail to fire rock-hard jets or needle-sharp javelins of air (think the Air-Shooter in Mega Man 2). As a desperation move, the user can use all the alter's energy at once, altering the major air currents in the area and spiraling into a literal F-4 tornado around the user. This move obviously puts a great strain on the user, leaving him a dizzy, aching mess once it's finished. This move can be reigned in to lesser whirlwinds, leaving lesser destruction and less wear on the user. The alter is almost always consumed by this move, regarldess of it's severity.

Stage 3: (Since we won't get here for a while, I'll put a simple "Giant, Wind-Element Robo-Manticore" here and elaborate when I need to.)

The changes came from realizing that tornados aren't made in the same way as a smoothie, they're made from crashing fronts, and working from there. EDIT: And this is what I get for taking my time posting :stressed: Ecurt, do you have a problem with my having another air-based alter?

Truce 09-12-2005 09:40 PM

Actually, I'm pretty interested in how they would interact. ^^

h4x.m4g3 09-12-2005 09:51 PM

Hmmm what would be the limit on Altar powers? I'm thinking of making a character with a power that would be a cross between mad script (not a direct copy by any means, but something that would alter my opponents perception.)

phil_ 09-12-2005 10:40 PM

I got the impression that it was--

Stage one: usually win against normals.
Two: Always beat normals, usually beat alters.
Three: You win.

Sithdarth 09-12-2005 10:40 PM

Ya know I was kind of hoping someone would come in with a power like that. I mean physical powers are nice but having more subtle ones adds diversity.

Edit: Stage 3 alters pretty much beat everything not stage 3. Two stage three alters against each other and it comes down to who fights better. Which usually ends in a draw and a really impressive light show.

Raiden 09-12-2005 11:58 PM

Fuzzy and I are SO having a Form 3 duel.

Staizer 09-13-2005 02:25 AM

I totally want in, will write bio and such tomorrow during the day . . .

Raiden 09-13-2005 07:27 AM

If a lot of people decide to go natural, I may end up saying that I was refined. If we're all going to get our second forms in the first chapter or so, that's a LOT of pissed off people. I don't know how we'd hold them all.

Sithdarth 09-13-2005 01:07 PM

See the wonderful thing about the way this is RP is going to run is that the part of the story having to do with the advancement of your powers is totally made up by you. Also, since your not on big huge group there is nothing saying that all these stories about gaining your second power have to happen at the same time much less in the same place. In fact, they don't have to happen in the same time period as the main story. Writing it as a flashback will work fine. Like maybe your fighting a strong alter from a person you don't like that much and you keep remembering the first time you called up your alters second form.

Yes I know this is slightly different then what I said earlier but I think it'll go better this way. Oh and it doesn't have to be anger. Any extreme emotion will do just anger is the first to come to mind usually.

Toastburner B 09-13-2005 01:42 PM

I'm interested, just give me time to write up a character.

I should also warn you that I didn't see too many episodes of s-CRY-ed...maybe one or two, so I'm at somewhat of a disadvantage here.

Character coming soon.

EDIT

As promised, my character. Since I don't know the backstory of s-CRY-ed, I'll take the loser's route and be the token "memory-loss man." I only know the stuff that's posted as the wikipedia article on s-cry-ed. Hopefully, I'm not messing things up too much.

Name: Nathaniel Downing, or "Nat"
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Description: Nat is tall, somewhere around 6'5". His hair is brown, with streaks of highlights brought about by long periods in the sun. He has the build of someone who does hard work for a living. His eyes are ice blue, but are somewhat lifeless.

Personality: Nathaniel is, at heart, a nice guy. However, he is still coming to grips with life, and with the fact that he has no memory of his past. He wonders if he forgot for a reason, or if someone made him forget.

Bio: The first thing Nathaniel recalls is waking up. When he woke, all he knew was his name. When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by fire and death. When a group of four men attacked him, his alter manifested, helping him kill the other men. The clothes he wore seemed to be some kind of uniform, but they were torn to shreds, and Nathaniel was unable to tell what faction he had belonged to. Blood covered his body...whether it was his or not, he couldn't tell. Whether he had tried to protect the village, or had been part of it's destruction, he couldn't tell.

His only clue was a trail leading out of the village. Grasping this one hope, Nathaniel follows it.

Nathaniel has no clue as to his past...he only just woke up. The truth is, Nathaniel was "refined", and placed within the Dars group. His memory loss is a side-effect of this.

More to come later tonight. I got to run now. If I messed anything up, please tell me. Like I said, I don't have very much experience with s-CRY-ed.

EDIT 2:

Thanks to everyone for the alter advice.

Alter Name: Draconis

Alter Description:

Form 1: Draconis appears as a human sized metallic dragon. The metal is a dark, metallic grey in color. The dragon is not very ornate. Primary weapons include claws, teeth, a spiked tail, and an energy blast breath weapon, which packs roughly the firepower of a RPG, strong enough to destroy armored vehicles. Draconis has the ability to fly in this form, but not at a very high altitude or speed. The eyes glow blue.

Form 2: Draconis increases in size, from human-sized to about the size of the fel-beast the Nazgul ride in the LotR movies. The claws become longer and sharper. He grows an additional pair of wings behind the pair he already had. His skin turns from black to a dark red. The horns on the head of Draconis also extend. The alter can now fly higher. The engery weapon now has two firing modes: Rapid fire, which allows Draconis to fire smaller burst of energy that hit with the power form 1 breath weapon, or enhanced: Like the form one breath weapon, but much strong. Instead of likening it to an RPG, the blast now hits with the destructive force of a cruise missile. The armor of Draconis is more ornate. The eyes grow green. He is faster and can fly to the same alitudes of airplanes. Top speed is around Mach 1.2

Form 3: Draconis grows to the size of Bahamut in FFIX, as tall as a building. He grews yet another pair of wings, and his horns extend even more. He turns from the red color to a shade of blue. He is now able to fly at sub-orbit altitudes. His standard breath weapon how has the power of a small nuclear warhead, and his rapid-fire breath weapon how has the strenght of his form 2 breathweapon...so it's basically a rapid-fire volley of cruise missiles. The eyes glow red. Top speed is Mach 3.

So, yeah...I ripped of the Bahamuts from FFVII...but it works! :p

lazy man 09-13-2005 03:49 PM

Ugh... I really made this too long... Apologies in advance for those who don't like to slog through detailed explanations that take a long time to read.

Name: Kaita Ikagi (hey, the Lost Ground IS in Japan...)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Description: About 5’11” with black hair and green eyes, almost like emeralds. He wears a navy blue shirt with an open leather vest, jeans, and boots.
Personality: Although he can be talkative, he’s more of the quiet type. Keeping to himself most of the time seems to make people think he’s always sad or down, when really he’s just fine. Really, he’s just trying to get by without getting involved in anything other than what he has to, making him more of a lone wolf. Other than that, he’s quite normal, and is content with what he does.
Bio: Kaita lived happily during his life, living with his mother and father happily, not knowing he was an alter user. It was only when he was about ten that he discovered his powers. He was lucky no one got shot in that time, because he didn’t know quite how to fire the guns on his arms (he uses certain thoughts as a trigger), and pretty much made swiss cheese of the room he was in before he could gain control. While the fact that he had an alter wasn’t exactly something worth ignoring him for, the fact that his powers could be so destructive while he lost control was. This turned him into the lone wolf characterization that he is now.

For years on end Kaita worked on controlling every aspect of his power, from the basics of accuracy to what position he could take to brace for almost any kind of recoil. While he could only control his first form during this time, he was confidant he could put his power to good use at this point. It was at this time, when he was about sixteen, that he said goodbye to his family, and left to be a mercenary. While not exactly what thought it would be, it still let him get by, and he’s been doing that ever since.

Alter Name: Omega Arsenal
Alter Description:

Stage 1: In this stage, Kaita’s arms get covered in a sleek, lightweight material that almost looks like a kind of flexible, bright blue (almost white), undiscovered crystal. This extends to his back, which forms a kind of extension that seems kind of like a backpack that covers primarily his right side. Protruding from the arm covers on Kaita’s forearms are two large nubs, one on each side, made of the same material. These are actually guns that use up barely any of his energy (so no ammo to worry about), but are very weak (at least when fighting another alter user). To make up for the weakness and just in case an enemy gets too close, his hands have spikes extending out past his knuckles, like very small knives stuck to his hands. For his super attack, his ‘backpack’ actually starts to come into play. Unfolding into a gigantic shoulder mounted energy cannon, Kaita’s right arm get covered in it, making it seem like a bigger version of before. He gets two shots with this cannon: One for the cover on his left arm, and one for the one on his right (kind of like Kazuma’s three-shot thing in the series).

Stage 2: At this stage, Kaita’s whole back, shoulders, neck, and some of his head, are covered in that same, sleek material. His back is actually one giant ‘backpack’ now, with an obvious split in the middle. His head also has something covering his eyes, that isn’t quite a visor or a pair of glasses. This puts a crosshair on whatever his arms are aiming at, with one for each arm. His arms have also changed a lot, the nubs on his forearms looking more like guns. In fact, they’ve gone from the equivalent of a submachine gun to something more like a gatling gun, while the spikes on his hands extend farther out past his knuckles. Along with the one gun on his forearm, there are also three more for the sides and bottom of his forearms, making four for each arm, each one being perfectly calibrated in the alter to not hit his arm and actually shoot what Kaita’s aiming for. Also, there are four small guns on his shoulder, two on top of his shoulders, two on his upper arms, that aim at what he’s looking at thanks to his visor (think Predator, only four plasma casters at once). These aren’t draining, like the ones on his arm, but every shot tends to be easy to dodge, so he really only uses them when he knows they’ll hit, but can use them on full auto when he needs to. As for his super shot, he now has two cannons instead of one. However, instead of actually covering his arm and obscuring his arm guns, now they hover about a foot over his shoulders. Also, since they hover, Kaita doesn’t have to concentrate on the tremendous recoil of the guns, so he can just unleash every gun on his body at the time. Unlike his first form, he can only use this once, but it’s tremendously powerful, and nearly impossible to dodge at close range just because of the sheer number of projectiles.

Stage 3: At this point, Kaita’s entire body is just an entire suit. Anything that would make him resemble a human is gone, as his face is completely covered with no see-through object to look through or any semblance of a face at all, his limbs look like they could bend in any direction, and, overall, he looks like he’s made of some sort of gel come to life (yes, his alter isn’t really segmented like most shown in the series) when all of the guns aren’t taken into account. The four guns on his forearms have been moved up closer to his wrist, while four more extend up over the original four, making sixteen total, each one being more powerful than three of the stage two arm guns, and fire at an almost impossible rate. The spikes on his wrists have become even longer, making formidable close range weapons. He has fourteen of the tracking guns, four on each upper arm, and three each on his shoulders. There are four bigger versions of the arm guns on his torso, and three more of the big guns per thigh. These seem to somehow be linked to the arms on his guns, firing on anything his arms point at when Kaita is aiming forward. Then there are the guns on his back. When they unfold, instead of two huge guns, there are now four compact versions of them, hovering around him when he calls them out. When he uses this attack, there really isn’t much that can be done about avoiding it. The guns on his arms, chest, shoulders, and legs even seem to charge up for each individual shot. While they don’t fire at full auto, the sheer number of charged shots makes it even harder to avoid than in his second stage. If something takes the full force of every shot fired in this barrage, there’s no guarantee that it’ll live past that moment, not to mention the devastating force of the explosion if the blast hits near the target.


I know it looks like I've got too many guns to count, but really, they're not that powerful compared to what other alter users can do. They're like normal guns, power-wise (except for in stage three), they just have really high numbers and fire faster as the stage goes up. Plus, he's pretty much useless in H2H combat, so don't expect him to pull something out of his ass when you get up close, because all he's got are those hand spikes.

Once again, apologies for this really long and detailed explanation, but I really got carried away once I got into the groove. I just had to explain everything at once when I got the picture in my head.

EDIT: Just added a few more of the tracking guns to the final form for some reason. And just for fun, the total number of guns in his final form equals 44 with the new tracking guns. Talk about a shitload of guns... And I'm usually the one in an RP that holds back... Oh man this'll be different for me.

Raiden 09-13-2005 04:38 PM

If Fuzzy ditches, then you are SO my rival.

And if you're my rival, you'll need to be a quiet but arrogant Alter user, since the crazy fighter position is taken by me.

lazy man 09-13-2005 04:45 PM

Hm, forgot about him... Well, you make a good point. It just annoys me that I'm the only one with a character that has a Japanese name in Japan... Ah well, I don't want everyone to change their names, I just found it odd.

EDIT: Raiden: Heh, that'll be fun... Although we can't really imitate the series (since that was what you were getting at), because Kaita isn't really arrogant. Quiet is a definite yes, though. Hmmm... Maybe I could work on something to fix that though...

Raiden 09-13-2005 04:50 PM

I don't mean to imitate the series. That's just how it goes with most rivalries.

One is calm, cool, collected, but also arrogant and full of himself.

The other is a crazy fighter that does strange things and somehow manages to not die.

And what's a cool japanese name for a character that has a balance of Good and Evil in him? It just seems to be a steady pattern in his Alter.

lazy man 09-13-2005 05:06 PM

Huh, good point. Never really noticed that before, somehow.

As for names, I just put balance in a translator on some website. Just pick one, if you really want to: Chuushin, Heikou, Kenkou, Kinsei, and Tsuriai (those were the ones that sounded best to me). Don't know if they're quite what you want, but that's just my go at it.

h4x.m4g3 09-13-2005 06:50 PM

Name: Goudaraby Kurosaki
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Description: Goudaraby is very short, barely reaching 5'2" and has a frail build. His hair is jet black but the tips are strangely always white (a side effect of his alter, and falls around his shoulders, his bangs normally covering his eyes. He wears brown monk's robes wherever he goes and old fashioned wooden sandals.
Personality: Goudaraby always sees things through everyone's point of veiw and because of this is usually too indecisive to take a firm stance on complex situations. However this coupled with his monk patience makes him an ideal negotiater, and mediater (sp?) in heated arguements and debates. His calm demeanor never ceases to leave him even when he is acting in a rush.
Bio: As a young child Goudaraby was always the smallest kid, wherever he went and was routinely picked on. In order to counter this he taught himself enough self-defense to where he could turn an opponent's advantages into their weaknesses. He liked to lure opponents in by playing as if he was weak and frail and building up their confidence then he would suddenly attack violently, and deliberately incapacitating them in one or two blows, normally seriously injuring them.

However when he was 8 his alter first started to manifest itself, upon him that is. It started out as dreams, then began to happen randomly during the day as he got older. During these dreams he would see through the eyes of his victims, their family and everyone else he directly or indirectly harmed, emotionally and physically. When he was 9 some of those he had harmed retaliated against him, however since they knew he was too skilled to fight they took out the abuse on his younger sister, and though they had only intended to rough them up, they killed her. Of course do to his uncontrolled alter power his nightmares became worse and he saw himself killing her. About a year after her death he fled his home town, unable to bear the pain anymore.

He would've died in the wilds of the lost ground, but lone day he saw the spirit of his sister and followed it to find a group of monks. They took him in, and taught him their ways making him a much more patient person, and teaching him to deal with his nightmares. Eventually his nightmares turned to visions of his sister assuring him it was not his fault, and teaching him how to control his alter power, allowing him to avoid as much fighting as possible. When he was 15 he left the monks to share what he had learned.

Alter Name: Regret
Alter Description:

Stage 1: Nightmarish fantasy- This ability has two variations, which are basically the reverse of eachother:
A. The Demon Within: Goudaraby manifest an ethreal demon. This demon cannot react with physical objects, and is translucent. when the demon touches someone time slows down for them and Goudaraby (because he is affected to about 1/3 its normal speed. The target is forced to see pain they have caused in the past, both intentional (harming someone) and unintentional (someone you killed's family and whatnot mournful over there loss), and caused by either action (attacking someone) or inaction. (seeing someone getting attacked but not doing anything to stop it) This either last until Goudaraby ends it, or until the victim musters up enough will to break the trance. If Goudaraby attacks the same person too long with this, serious damage may occur (insanity, victim may commit suicide, etc.)

B.Soothing Balm: Though he rarely uses it Goudaraby does have the ability to channel an ethreal child (his sister). This attack is the opposite of the demon within, and calms the target. It is only useful against people commiting acts because of intense loss, or pain.
Stage 2: Vengence- Goudaraby manifest a demon, however this time it is physical. The demon can be seen here. Every time the demon's claws strike its target it causes an image to flash before their mind briefly of the pain they've caused in the past, momentarily distracting most for a short period of time. The demon attacks with an emphasis on speed over power. Its final attack is to grab its legs and spins itself into a spiked wheel (think Sonic) that then flies at its target. Though Goudaraby has control over it, he won't realize it as first.

Stage 3: Redemption: During redemption Goudaraby becames a paladin-esque warrior. He becomes clad in armor similar to this however his armor is silver, has no shield, but weilds a large runed sword, and is accented by a blood red cloak. However there is no increase in size, and once again the focus is on speed over strength. The final attack of redemption is for the armor (but not the cape) to actually fly off Goudaraby and form a staff on the end of the sword while the blade curves to form a scythe. He then gets one wide arc swipe with the scythe that propels out a large energy wave.

Edit: Added in stage two and three.

so basically my guy. Atleast I was going for something like that

IHateMakingNames 09-13-2005 07:08 PM

h4x, I'm distrubed by the 8- year old boy incapacitating people.

All I've got is the alter power, but I feel like posting it.

Name: Shiro Kyosuke
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Description: http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/8...o0110258va.jpg
Personality: Shiro is usually nice and calm, but he gets mad when alter users abuse their powers extensively. For fun he will scare people with small explosions, but he never does any harm. He really likes explosions and alter fights.
Bio: Shiro goes around and explodes bad alter users.

Alter Name: Mini-bombs
Alter Description:
1st Form: Little exploding balls can be created in the user's hands. Power of explosion can be controlled, from a harmless pop to a hand-grenade.

2nd Form: The mini-bombs can be created much faster, and controlled by the user's mind. Still explode on impact. Force of explosion can go up to a stick of dynamite.

3rd Form: User can create mini-bombs within a 500 yard radius of himself, and detonate them at will. Power of explosion can go up to that of C4. Basically, if he can see it, it can explode.

Note that for all forms, the actual alter power is simply creating 1 mini-bomb. It's just quick and easy to do, so he can make many.


Also, could extreme boredom be a trigger for the 2nd Stage?

Sithdarth 09-13-2005 08:04 PM

It probably could be but I pretty sure you'd shoot or otherwise kill yourself long before it got that far.

Name: Sev
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Description: Just under 6'1" with a slighty stocky build. Sev's height makes him look thinner than he actually is somewhat hiding slightly overweight nature. Sev's hair is usually a complete and utter mess with small dark curls sticking out in random directions. Usually dressed in dark shorts and a T-shirt Sev has a casual just rolled out of bed look that usually puts others at ease. Of course the more apperance minded often find his appearence offensive.
Personality: As indicated by his look Sev isn't very organized. Intelligent and normally introspective Sev has beed known for random out bursts of anger. He posses a unique sense of justice and will often hit first and think later when offended.
Bio: Sev grew up in a small village just outside the city. His parents were able to find good jobs in the city and provided Sev with a good life. He went to a nice school but didn't really make friends well. One day the kids at school had discovered his unusual temper and after that no one would have anything to do with him. The appearence of his alter power didn't help much and in fact made him a bigger target. To make matters worse his teachers began to distrust him and stopped punishing the kids that picked on him. All this contributed to his unique sense of justice and an odd need to help the downtrodden.


Alter name: The Unseen Doors
Alter description:
1st form: A thin silverish metal covers the users hands and feet to just past the first joint. This adds protection and increases the users strength, speed, and agility. It also allows them to safely travel through portals the user opens that transport the limb long distances. This allows the user to strike another user from a distance and from unexpected angles. Additionally the user has one sword like blade that extends from the back of his hand while preforming his alter's special attack. This attack increases the force of his strike and can cause a small explosion after which the blade used disappears.

2nd form: The armor extends upward to just bast the second joint of the respective appendage. (Knees on his legs and elbows on his arms.) The metal also forms a close fitting helmet with a visor. In this form the user can move his whole body small distances through one of his portals. This becomes progressively harder to do the more he uses it. He aslo gains is second special attack where he transports his whole body as far as he can his limbs. He reaches above his head while doing so and fuses his hands together forming a powerfull club to smash whatever he is fighting. He also gains the ability to regenerate the blades on the back of his hands.

3rd form:The user becomes fully encased in armor and can transport his full body nearly any distance. The blades on the back of his hands can now detach and fly around on their own. Under exterem circumstances the user can combine the two blades into one ornate sword which slices through almost anything and can even cause things to be sliced through from a distance.

Oh and the first chapter will probably be up tomorrow and if you don't happen to have a character ready don't worry about it. Also, the story about how you got your second form alter doesn't have to be one post. In fact it'll probably work better if you break it up into a series of posts.

I don't mean like adults, I mean like other kids harassing him. Think Ender Wiggin from Ender's Game, except not to the point of killing, but rather knocking out or making them one away when they see how he's managed to injure them. Maybe my wording was just wrong.

I'm going to edit my stage two and three into my previous post in a minute.

Toastburner B 09-13-2005 09:52 PM

I humble bow before the people gathered here, and I ask:

Anyone have any good alter ideas? I can't think of a single one that isn't a semi-clone of something someone already has.

IHateMakingNames 09-13-2005 10:07 PM

Why would you kill yourself because you are very bored?



Alter Power - Something revolving around precognition. For example:

1st Form - Machine that gives a video feed of what will happen next in targeted area

2nd Form - Better version.

3rd Form - Machine can slightly alter the course of future events.


Alter Power - Flying stuff

1st Form - Some sort of flying machine

2nd Form - Much faster, maybe add some weapons, possibly attached to alter user

3rd Form - Power-flying suit of doom


Alter Power - Gaint robot

1st Form - Big robot

2nd Form - Bigger robot

3rd Form - Godzilla


Alter Power - Something that lets you make stuff

1st Form - Paintbrush that creates what you draw (Some sort of limit)

2nd Form - Less of a limit, more accurate

3rd Form - Barely any limits

Sithdarth 09-13-2005 10:15 PM

Don't tell me you've never heard of dieing of bordem and to get enough energy out of being bored you'd have to basically be in a sensory deprivation chamber for a few years. That and have lost the ability to be creative in any way, sleep and even dream. So that you spend the entire time getting no new input into your brain. I'm pretty sure that'd make you really crazy. It's just hard to imagine someone being so bored they channel as much emotion as someone that just lost a loved one or something.

phil_ 09-13-2005 10:28 PM

Dear TB,

Shrink gun.

..........Phil

Raiden 09-13-2005 11:12 PM

Actually, my guy will get wings, so flying isn't that original.

I like the robot thing, though. Your alter could be more like a seperate being than simply something attached to you.

TheBlindMime 09-13-2005 11:35 PM

Name: Ginji Yamada

Age: 11

Gender: Male

Description: A rather odd looking child, standing at about 4'6" way skinny overly tan, with medium length brown hair held back by a pair of old pilots goggles. Adorned in tan tennis shoes, beige shorts and a tan t-shirt and overshirt. Almost always has a smile on his face.

Personality: Think edward from cowboy bebop but saner. Enjoys riding motorcycles and skateboards but he hasn't mastered stopping on either vehicle. Quite easy-going, it takes a great deal to anger Ginji.

Bio: After discovering his powers at the age of 6, Ginji's parents became quite leniant towards the boy allowing him far to much freedom to roam. Which is exactly what he has done.


Alter Name: Quackers

1st Form: When his alter takes shape it becomes a duck shaped megaphone which morphs anything the user says into a somewhat humorous donald duck impression. The alter has various settings which allows for incredible range in control, from a whisper to one person miles away, to a devastating shockwave.

2nd Form: The second form of Quackers morphs him into a large somewhat robotic blue duck who is quite adept at flight. He has a saddle and handlebars on his back for a rider and Ginji gains an alter helmet which shields him from powerful sonic bursts which Quackers can dish out with a brutal verocity.

3rd Form: After ripping through the fold of dimensions Quackers and Ginji form into one complete entity. Standing at 5'5" feet with a thin muscular body covered in a metallic blue armor, with and a mesh of human and duck face he retains all the powers of Quackers previous forms, the incredible audio control, flight as well as gaining incredible speed.

phil_ 09-14-2005 12:15 AM

Mime, do you mean "quaker" as in http://www.smartspot.com/site_images...14_product.jpg

or "quacker" as in http://www.aefsupply.com/cracker.jpg with a speech impediment?

TheBlindMime 09-14-2005 01:33 AM

more like a howard the duck reference then anything.

Raiden 09-14-2005 08:01 AM

Alright, I changed my name to a sexy japaneze name.

Toastburner B 09-14-2005 10:34 AM

Thanks to all the suggestions, everyone...I went with IHMN's giant robot suggestion.

So, yeah, I am now offically read to mess up some more. :shifty:

Aerozord 09-14-2005 04:13 PM

By the way, anyone interested in joining my particular faction. This faction believes the philosophy that everyone should strive to be stronger, which can only come from conflict and suffering. Basically a belief that constant battle and challenge is the only way to live. Of course since alter users are superior (in their minds) humans serve little purpose beyond fodder.

Raiden 09-14-2005 05:01 PM

No, that goes against my character.

However, I suspect that we'll be butting heads quite a bit, what with you hurting other people and all.

Truce 09-14-2005 05:22 PM

Ehh, I could see Raviel being in your little faction. So yeah, sign him up. ^^

Fuzzydoom 09-14-2005 05:57 PM

Spot holder! You already have my alter sheet right?

Raiden 09-14-2005 07:46 PM

Sorry, Fuzzy, but if you haven't realized it by now, our rivalry is not to be.

I've found someone better. Someone that understands me.

And that someone...is lazy.

Plus, you never returned my PM, so...

lazy man 09-14-2005 07:52 PM

Heh, yeah, sorry Fuzzy, but I'm just a little quicker. Of course, you staying after school all the time could have something to do with that.

Oh how I love knowing people on the forum in real life... (He actually lives down the street from me... Talk about coincidences.)

Sithdarth 09-14-2005 07:58 PM

What no three way battle to the death? Drat. Anyways the chapter is going up soon but if you don't have a character don't worry you can catch up or just come in when you feel like it.

Aerozord 09-14-2005 08:01 PM

not that these rivalries matter since you will all suffer thanks to my arogant and prejudice fueled wrath.

[edit] *snap* I just realized how cool it would be to have my avi as an alter. Though I have no intention of using it, it would be cool

Raiden 09-14-2005 08:29 PM

And then, you need Tsu and Chan to suddenly appear and start waving copyright infringement papers around.

Aerozord 09-14-2005 08:40 PM

well technically it was their rival that made decapatops. But in any case I would just make them bleed. When that thing is staring at you I would greatly advice against threatening legal action

IHateMakingNames 09-14-2005 08:54 PM

I finished my character sheet. I don't feel like making a bio, and since I don't think it's very important, I just stated what he does now.

Edit - Also, everyone should probably include in the atler bios how the alter is created. If it's like Kazuma's, where it takes time to fully form, their opponent can delay their alter creation (Like the guy with the Eternity Eight did to Kazuma).

Fuzzydoom 09-14-2005 09:07 PM

Name: Calico Belzante
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Description: Beastly, 6'4 ripped and still growing. Surprisingly agile for someone so large, he is quite a formidable foe in melee combat, making his alter a bit of a surprise. Black hair, jeans and a plain white T-shirt. Has blue eyes that turn funny colors when he uses his alter powers.
Personality: Angry, all the time. In a constant beresrker mindset constantly looking for a fight. Absoluetly insane.
Bio: Born and raised outside the city calico grew up in a world where power meant survival. He lived from fight to fight, growing and adapting to his environment he became crazed and highly violent. He trained his body to the breaking point until one day he found himself outnumbered by a large street gang. A gun materialized in his hand as the building behind him collapsed and he sprayed bullets into the group of youths. No one but Calico walked away from that fight.

Name: Duragon

1st form: In it's first form Duragon takes the form of a hand gun that fires pure energy bolts. It is long and jet black with silver celtic scroll work along the barrel. In addition to the standard energy blast the shot can be charged until it has the impact of a grenade of pure energy. The gun is attached direcly to the wielders arm by a long metal chain, alowing the fire arm to be used as a bludgeon. When this occurs the barrel of the gun shifts into a blade charged with energy, still bearing the celtic scroll work.

2nd: The 2nd form of Duragon the lower half of the arm the gun is held in is encased in a living steel that takes the place of the user's skin. The bottom of the gun's barrel drops out, revealing a glowing green mass of energy as well as a small amount of blue toward the back. The blasts from the second form of the gun are just as strong as the charged shot of the first form, and splits as it nears the opponent, forcing him to deal with multiple high powered shots. The Ultimate attack for this form involves the gun liquidising itsewlf and flowing up the wielders arm to his shoulder, where it transforsm into a high power cannon. The resulting blast can hollow mountains, unfortunately the wielder only gets a single shot with his ultimate. Afterwards he is forced to continue fighting without alter power or to flee.

3rd Form: In this form Duragon's appearance changes dramatically. His eyes change from a deep blue to a pure black and his teeth grow long and pointed. Large holes appear in his hands that are now covered in coarse black hair and have long steel claws protruding from the ends of the fingertips. His arms and leg have grown longer as well as his chest gaining muscle and mass in general. Energy pours from the holes in his hands and encases his hands in pure energy. As well as using this energy for melee attacks he can issue it forth from his hands for collosal energy attacks. Each blast has easily as much power as the cannon blast from the second form but doesn't require him to lose his form. In this form Duragon's special attack becomes a suicidal death-hug. He latches onto his oppenent and digs into him/her using his claws, then unleashes all the enrgy he has remaining in a gigantic attack that has the potential to flatten cities if used at full power. After use Duragon loses conciousness and is totally at his enemy's mercy if the enemy survives.

PS: Yo Lazy, just because I have to try to pass my classes is no reason to rub my nose in it, you meanie. Now I'm going to go cry with a gallon of ice cream. *runs off sniffling and sobbing.*

Sithdarth 09-14-2005 09:14 PM

Chapter one is up and all alters form the same way it's just a matter of will and urgency as to how fast they form. As time went on Kazuma started calling his alter up faster and faster. As we are all going to be right around A class in power we should all have similar alter creation time.

Raiden 09-14-2005 09:21 PM

I just finished a bottle of SoBe Energy drink and I'm currently listening to 'Rythem of the Night'.

LET'S DO THIS!

And lazy, the store would be a good place for the brother to show up at. Something to get the ball rolling.

Sithdarth 09-14-2005 09:29 PM

Oh yeah discussion thread coming right up and remember the lost grounds is a big place. You can be quite aways away if you'd like. Also you don't have to stick exactly to the time I'm running things in but sticking close will help out in the long run.

Mintaro 09-15-2005 01:39 AM

Yeah its a little late, but I'm sure sithdarth will forgive me.

Name: Checkers. (thats what he calls himself, he thinks it sounds cool.)

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Description: Well toned young man with black hair and a rough looking face. His eyes shine with intellect. He is about 5'8". He wears loose dress pants with a rope belt and a tank top.

Personality: Hes a nice enough young guy. He tries to do his best but really doesn't care about much at all. He pretty much 'plays by his own rules'. He seems to draw and make notes in a small notebook he carries with him a lot.

Bio: Checkers was orphaned at a young age. His parents where killed by some stray bullets in an attack on his small settlement. He was taken to a local Home and raised for a few years by a kind man, he never took to the other children and took to writing and drawing as a way of dealing with his loss. He never told the man his name and once ran away he just began to call himself Checkers. He had discovered his alter power when his parents where killed. But kept it hidden up until he left.

Alter Name: Eyes of Heaven

Alter Description: Form 1: Three stain glass eyes that are moved around him freely by his will (like the eternity 8). He can see out of each eye and SHOOT LAZERS! No that wasn't a joke. Each eye shoots out a lazer they are not very powerful. Each one has about the power of a civilian tazer. His super move with the Alter however is called the light of heaven. He lines up all three eyes in a row and the lazer gets magnified as it shoots through each eye to create a larger more powerful lazer. He can react to things faster then normal.

Form 2: He spouts a third eye in his for head and gets a total of five Stain glass eyes. His Third eye now lets him use a technique he calls the "eye of misdirection". If he makes direct eye contact with anything (human, alter, animal), he can implant any visual illusion he wants upon his target. The illusion can only be broken through intense physical pain, Checkers being knocked out/loosing his second alter level, or an opposing alter power that would logically counter it. His reaction speed is increased even more. The five eyes can create a more powerful 'Light of heaven' attack.

Form 3: His body becomes completely covered in eyes. This increases his reaction speed to near untouchable proportions. He can shoot a lazer out of each eye with the strength of his form two light of heaven attack. He can now do the 'Eye of misdirection' from each eye on his body. Yet he still needs direct eye contact. He also performs an attack Where in he spins around and emits lazers from all his eyes (can anyone say kaiten?).
