The Madness Becomes Real: The Evil's Return/Big Bad Wolf Limited Crossover RP - Page 4

Hmm, I'm debating a bit of an artillery type character; a telekinetic who uses that for personal shielding and to shoot people, plus possibly a few other miscellanous tricks. It's visible because her ability leaks electromagnetic radiation, also meaning electronics are... a problem. Also thinking of a 'psi-amp' for bursts of bigger stuff, which is probably your good old crystal on a stick.

The fact that shooting demons with blasts fired from a magical staff is classed as psionics may be a berserk button.

Name: Robert Raymond Winchester, The Fourth
Gender: "Guy Parts"
Age: 25
Organization: Big Bad Wolf Limited
Class: Martial Artist
Special Abilities:
Martial Arts Expertise: Mr. Winchester is a student of Jeet Kun Do, and has integrated many different martial arts into his own form:
Bagua Zhang
Tai Chi Chuan
Wing Chun
Systema
Sambo
Boxing
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
MCMAP
Mr. Winchester has also trained in using a specialized Combat Shotgun and integrating that into his close-quarters combat style.

Exceptional Strength and Agility: Mr. Winchester was raised in an environment where the strong and swift survived and lead. Instead of concentrating on typical schooling, Mr. Winchester was constantly training to become stronger and faster then anyone in his family. His strength and agility are nearly super-natural.

Tranquil Rage: Falling back on his training and study of Zen, Mr. Winchester is capable of entering "The Zone", where he is capable of entering a 'Way Way Trance" as he refers to it. (It is assumed that he is referring to the concept of Wu Wei, a concept of Taoism, action without 'acting'). His already exceptional strength and speed is improved, in addition to acting completely on instinct to the point of responding faster then a normal human would. On first view it appears to be a type of Barbarian Rage given the brutality he typically engages in, but in this trance Mr. Winchester shows no sign of anger, in fact he has more of a vacant look.

Bio: Robert Raymond Winchester, The Fourth, known by his family and close friends as 'Bobby-Ray', grew up in a small Appalachian village in Tennessee. Bobby-Ray was raised by an economical disadvantaged extended family, and was not properly educated early in life. When it was apparent Bobby-Ray didn't have the mental capacity for mathematics and "book learnin'", his Step-Uncle Huo Lee took it upon himself to teach the young boy Martial Arts, primarily Jeet Kun Do, and instruct him in Eastern Philosophy.

Huo had hoped that the instruction would help Bobby-Ray with his normal studies. Instead, Bobby-Ray pursued Martial Arts with a reckless abandon often seen in those who discover an oasis in a desert while dying of thirst. He found he was a natural at many of the concepts, and once he had developed a proficiency in his uncle's styles, he set out at 18 (Having recently graduated the eighth grade) to study more styles to help refine his own.
On his journey of self refinement, he soon discovered Big Bad Wolf Limited, and applied for a job.

Excerpt from the applicant's interview:
Interviewer: So, Mr. Winchester, why do you wish to be employed by BBW Limited?
Robert Raymond Winchester: Are ya kiddin'? Yer' willin' to pay me cash to hit thin's and blow stuff up? Fer cash? Whar do I sign?

Equipment/Belongings/Description: Mr. Winchester was born "The Runt of the Litter". He was smaller then all of his siblings until he started training with Huo Lee. Currently he is a bear of a man, at 6'4" with shoulders nearly as wide, and is deceptively agile for a man his size. He keeps his hair cut close in nearly a crew cut, and is always clean shaven. He typically wears a white sweat stained A-Shirt under a flannel button down shirt (With it's sleeves and buttons torn off) along with combat pants and boots. When dressing up he will usually buy a new A-Shirt and replace his normal flannel shirt with one that is only missing it's sleeves.

Weapons wise, Mr. Winchester nearly exclusively carries two Custom Benelli M4 Super 90s, utilizing reinforced Titanium-Steel for most of the construction. This alloy is different from typical blends, concentrating instead on extra strength with little regard for weight. The barrel exterior is octagonal in shape instead of smooth, and all surfaces are polished chrome (with exception of the grips). Other modifications include an increase in round size (to 8 Gauge) and replacing the tube magazine with an external 10 shot clip design. These are carried in shoulder harness worn over his flannel. He is known to enjoy the use of explosives, but is currently on a two week ban from using them due to an unfortunate incident.

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

...I'm a decoy?

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

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

Character Name: Simon Lombardi

Gender: Male

Age: 27

Organization: Big Bad Wolf Limited

Class: Demo-Man

Special Abilities:

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

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

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

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

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

Equipment/Belonging:

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

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

Loki: Approved.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EDIT

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