Yu-Gi-Oh! Hearts of Darkness [OOC/PG-13/Not Started/Accepting]

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Hearts of Darkness

 

[spoiler=Plot]

Heartland...A symbol of prosperity, utopian peace, technological advancement, and dueling. In Heartland, mysterious cards, known as "Numbers", have started appearing...According to police reports and witness testimonies, the people using these "Number" cards seem to be different from who they have been in the past...They seem selfish, reckless, and violent. They act without remorse, and they will do almost anything to further their own goals.

 

However, some people, calling themselves "Number Hunters", have started tracking down "Number" users and defeating them in duels, stealing their "Numbers" after they win. Their reasons for doing this vary, as do the kinds of people that participate in the act...

 

Now, this is where you come in. You are a normal duelist, a Number Hunter, or a Number Holder. They all have their reasons for doing what they do, and you are no exception. More than likely, it has something to do with the upcoming World Duel Carnival, or WDC for short.

[spoiler=Setting]

Alright, so this RP takes place during ZEXAL, but with a few changes...Number one, Doctor Faker, the Tron Siblings, and Mr. Heartland are the only characters from the anime that remain, and they are unchanged, for the most part.

 

Secondly, the currently-established Numbers will all remain as they are, aside from Thunderspark Dragon, who will be given a new effect and stats (You can choose to use either the Anime version or the OCG version of a Number, so long as it is YOU who are controlling it). All other Number monsters are up to the participants in this RP's imagination. I will create a list of established Numbers when new ones are created.

[spoiler=Rules]

1. All YCM rules apply, including Advanced Clause.

2. We will follow the current banlists at all times (The current is September 2011, we will switch to March 2012 on February 29th)

3. Created Cards ARE permitted, but please show what they are in the RP when activate/summon them in a duel. Try not to make them OPed please, or I'll have to ask you to change them.

[spoiler=My Apps]

[spoiler=Takao]

Name: Takao Henjin

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Duelist Type: Number Hunter

Appearance: [spoiler=Takao]

 

 

He does not use a D-Gazer; he was instead born with a "built-in" form, where his irises become swirling rainbows when he duels. He also does not have a "traditional" Duel Disk...Instead, a rainbow aura appears around his right arm, which morphs into a structure similar to III's disk, but with a multi-hued color scheme and a gleaming platinum gauntlet.

 

 

Personality: Takao is very kindhearted and happy-go-lucky most of the time. He can almost always be seen with a smile on his face, and he rarely lets anything get him down. He does, however, know how to get serious when the situation demands it. However, he also tends to be very shy around people, so he gets nervous often, causing him to sputter and insert verbal pauses into his speech. But if he opens up to someone, then they will realize what a nice person Takao truly is.

Background: Takao was an orphan, and was taken in by Dr. Faker as a baby, much like many other children that were seen as prospective "Number Hunters". He was selected due to the odd power Dr. Faker detected inside Takao, the same power that allows him to duel the way he does...The doctor's original plot was to have Takao use his power to hunt down the Numbers and bring them to him, even allowing him to wield Number 72 for this purpose, but Faker's intentions were revealed before he could be persuaded. So, he left. Afterward, he began hunting the Numbers of his own accord, intending to protect everyone from the influence of the Numbers, and to keep Dr. Faker from harnessing their power...It was also at this point when he discovered how he could take the Numbers from people: When a Number Holder is defeated in a duel, they glow with a rainbow light, and a shining rectangle emerges from their chest. The rectangle floats over to Takao, and it reveals its form as a Duel Monsters card. He discovered this when he claimed his first Number, Number 20: Giga-Brilliant, from a roughneck.

He found out about the WDC, and knew at once that it was a plot to gather all of the strongest duelists...The ones with Number monsters. Takao saw it as the perfect opportunity to truly "stick it" to Faker.

Deck Type(s): Wind-Up, Gem-Knights, —DECK NOT REGISTERED IN HEARTLAND DATABASE—

Number(s) in Your Possession: Number 72: Crystalline Dragon - Thunder Opal; Number 20: Giga-Brilliant

 

 

[spoiler=Yoki]

 

 

Name: Yoki Chūdan

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Duelist Type: Normal Duelist

Appearance: [spoiler=Appearance]

His D-Gazer is a variation of the standard design, with a green lens and white frame. His D-Pad/Duel Disk is a white-and-green version of the standard model.

 

Personality: Yoki is not enthusiastic about anything in the least. He has a very laid-back, uncaring approach to everything, which tends to unnerve his opponents in duels. He has a tendency to stare blankly at whatever has caught his attention, something that appears to show either disinterest or fatigue, depending on who observes it.

Background: Yoki Chūdan was born in Heartland to an accountant and a college professor. As such, he has lead a very monotonous life, the only excitement coming from the occasional duel…However, even when he was dueling, he wasn’t having much fun, as he tended to defeat most of his opponents with ease; this was a direct result of his boredom, as it allowed him to focus on developing strategies for dueling and better-developing his deck. One day, he defeated a man who used a strange monster named “Number 68: Paladin Dragon Damocles”. Yoki took up ownership of the card, defeating many duelists with its power. Now, he has enrolled in the WDC, hoping that maybe, just maybe, it might give him a little enjoyment.

Deck Type(s): Syllabic Symphony (Syllables/Other Yuma-type cards)

Number(s) in Your Possession: Somehow obtained Number 68: Paladin Dragon Damocles

[Guest iCherry]

Oooo... Reserve please!

I wanna figure out what deck I'll use. And what number(s) I'll want.

Resisting urge to use Photons again...

 

EDIT: f*** the police. Reserving Photons.

 

[spoiler=iCherry]Name: Koko Venus

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Duelist Type: Number Hunter

Appearance: Koko is a girl of average height with an averaged sized bust. The woman has short dark red hair, ocean blue eyes, and she has two small yet sharp fangs to reflect her vicious personality. On her ears are two earrings that are silver, shaped based on a certain monster's wings. Covering up her creamy skin is a long sleeved sky blue top that somewhat reveals her navel. To go along with that are black pants and matching shoes.

 

There is no D-Gazer she uses. Instead, the woman has a purple D-Gazer Tattoo that turns her eye into a crimson color. She has a red colored, sharply bladed duel disk that fits perfectly on her left arm.

 

[spoiler=Photon Mode]Koko's destructive powers are unleashed when she enters her Photon Mode. The excessive energy causes her eyes to give off a somewhat dim glow, and her body to experience some growth, giving her a taller, more voluptuous figure. Oddly enough however, her clothes don’t drastically change. Her top changes into a purple color and bares a midriff due to the body size increase. Both of her wrists and ankles are equipped with shining cyan bracelets that resemble the color of her Photon Monsters. A pendant with a ruby colored gem is materialized around her neck. The earrings she wears morphs into much larger wings that give off a red glow. All of these new accessories are used to have complete and total control of every card in her deck, and suppress the influence of the Numbers. Her bodily expansion reflects on her hunger to grow stronger. She grows to contain it all.

 

 

Personality: Koko, at first glance, is a sweet and innocent young woman who wishes nothing but to help people. But in reality, she is insanely vicious and incredibly sadistic. Nothing brings her more joy than another person's misery. She has an unquenchable thirst for power. Koko cares not for bigger pictures such as world destruction or anything unless it is pure world domination via dictatorship. To her, dueling is nothing but one of many methods of torture. Even with this evil persona, she can still actually be very nice to those who have broken down her emotional barrier. The girl can also be quite protective of those precious allies.

 

Background: As a little girl, Koko was one of those children who would always be pushed away from social kids due to… mental problems. For as long as she could remember, she’s been this way. With a superiority complex, a devious mind that plots and toys with others, and an insatiable lust to make anyone’s life absolutely miserable. Her parents could only decide that she was a lost cause when all sorts of methods to rid her of this sadist persona. So they pushed her away the one way they could: kicking her out of the house. Surprisingly enough, Koko wasn’t entirely affected, except for her torturing getting worse and more complicated. Jumping from foster home to foster home, being kicked out for all of the same reasons.

 

Then she grew up. Managing to survive this long, Koko entered the dueling world. The deck she used was one that arrived in light under her pillow, after several dreams of these monstrous duel monsters that attempted to communicate with her. When she received the deck, she understood what they wanted: to assist. It’s thanks to that she has been tearing through competition left and right, but has found no total satisfaction. Not until she came across these mysterious cards dubbed “Numbers”.

 

Koko actually got one by beating some unfortunate possessed duelist. How she extracted it was a ghastly hand of energy being released from her arm and pulling out that man’s soul. At first, she didn’t know how to react, and was even further puzzled when the card didn’t take over her mind like it did her foe. She found a man with similar powers to explain what this was. He explained that the Photons had given her a gift, as they had put their full faith in her. The gift was her Photon Mode that temporary accelerated her entire being by several years. Her older form gives her multiple seals to use that force every card in her arsenal to obey without question, excluding the already completely loyal Photon creatures.

 

Nowadays, she finds herself looking for a side to choose to maybe have a companion or two. Her top priority was making people suffer, and the WDC was the perfect place to make that happen.

 

Deck Type(s): Deranged Photon Multiverse

Number(s) in Your Possession: Number 32: Marine Biting Dragon - Shark Drake, Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction

 

 

I mixed Kaito's powers with IV's personality, basically.

I couldn't think of anything with her Photon Mode either, so I just went for a more sexy look. Hope everyone's okay with that. . _.

Also, she hasn't awakened to NGEPD. But can I use the OCG Versions of both it and Photon Streak Bouncer? Photon Wyvern too.

[Angelik Fredom]

Reserve me plz

 

As well can e use custom cards we have made?

[AkatsukiPride!]

RESERVE! I've always wanted to use a number in an RP...and can we use custom numbers/custom chaos numbers :lol:?

I'll have the app by a week at most. Possibly next Saturday...hopefully earlier. Most likely this Sunday.

It all depends on my free time.

 

(P.S. Your app is out of whack...)

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Question: Can we use Chaos Numbers at all? Just wanna ask this question before I reserve anything.

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Chaos Numbers are allowed, but only after you've awakened ZEXAL Power, which depends on the person. Also, all reserves accepted.

Cherry, you're accepted. As for your questions...Yes to all. Again, your deck, your rules on the versions of cards you use.

 

Also, here's the custom Number that Takao will be using

[spoiler=Number 72: Crystalline Dragon - Thunder Opal]

 

 

[AkatsukiPride!]

Got my app done. I'm expecting the "Can only be destroyed by an other Number monster" effect is implied, so I left that out of my custom. Any way...[spoiler=Taio Yasulu ]Name: Taio Yasulu

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Duelist Type: Number Holder (He’s been told to “Find the others,” though)

Appearance: Taio stands about 5 feet 5 inches tall. He has scraggy brown hair with dirt in it that reaches down to his neck. He usually wears a light blue hoodie over a purple shirt with a picture of a gear on it, both stained with dirt. He wears brown jeans with A LOT of pockets to hold various tools and equipment, and again, it’s stained with dirt. He alternatively wears his school uniform. He has light skin and brown eyes, and his cheeks usually have dirt on them. His D-Gazer is silver with a green screen and is shaped like Cyber Dragon’s head. When activated, it projects a holographic screen in front of him that has many functions. He designed his D-Gazer himself. When not being used as a D-Gazer, it turns into a complex watch that he calls his “D-Watch,” which again has many functions, besides telling time. Its appearance doesn’t change when in watch mode.

Personality: Taio loves machinery. He loves to build machinery, take it apart, tinker with it, and put stuff back together. He is a happy person who’s friendly to everyone, even the occasional jerk. He isn’t accepted in society because of his love for machines, but still tries to make friends. He can be seen as a free spirit following no rules and attempts to have no matter what the situation. He can get very serious when needed, though. He also claims that he hears voices.

Background: Taio comes from a strange family. The Yasulu’s own a car and bike repair shop, which is where Taio gets most of his mechanical knowledge and tools. He dad is a quirky mechanic and his mom is a computer whiz, and they share those traits with Taio, his 16-year-old sister Nelly and his 7-year-old brother Chris. His one-year-old sister Suzie is yet to show real talent, but would rather play with the insides of toys than complete ones.

Taio isn’t accepted into society. Kids at his school ignore and make fun of him and his teachers only acknowledge him for tech-support. Because of this, no one really notices when he skips school to go to card shops and such.

Taio didn’t know a lot about the numbers. All he knew is that when a strange man gave him an Xyz monster, the number 44 carved itself into his hand. He’s seen no sign of the number since, and his new card remains blank. The man told him that he could cure the world with his pure heart, and that he must find the others. He said the WDC would be a good place to start. When Taio asked what he meant, the man disappeared. Taio doesn’t know much, but he can feel the card named “Number 44” has a lot of power.

Later, in a duel with a common bully, he was able to conjure up Number 44, and defeat the bully, who was also holding a Number monster. After the duel, the Number was removed from the bully by 44 and given to Taio. Since then, he’s been hearing voices in his head.

Deck Type: Machine (Der)

Numbers in Your Possession: Number 44: Mashiman the Ultimate Fortress, Number 16: Shock Ruler

 

 

 

Number 44 is attached.

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Sorry, Mrgoodbar, I edited the application form. Basically, Number Holders can only begin with one Number (that being their signature). I mean, you can easily obtain them later, but just one for a start, for storyline's sake. You understand, right? In which case, I'd like to ask for one thing in regards to your Number—Could you expand a little on the effect? Such as, instead of the "don't need to use Polymerization" part, perhaps say that "Once per turn: You can detach one Xyz Material from this card; you can Fusion Summon a Machine-Type Fusion monster this turn by banishing the required Fusion Material monsters from your field and/or Graveyard (you do not need to use "Polymerization")."

Just to make it more balanced, is all.

 

Also, I think I'll take this opportunity to explain how ZEXAL Power will work in this RP—Once it is awakened by a member (whom I shall select), everyone can activate it of their own accord, allowing them to Xyz Summon C-Number monsters through Chaos Xyz Change. However, certain Numbers, such as my Number 72, do not have a C form, as they can be summoned through Chaos Xyz Change normally.

[AkatsukiPride!]

Gotcha. I'll edit the app later and fix some stuff with 44. It was made so poly was never needed at no cost, but I see how that can be unfair. And can I reserve 16, if I can't have it to begin with?

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Sure, that's fine. I'll add you to the accepted list and add your Numbers.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Alright, I'll have Number 7 and Number 11. And if I may, I'll have their Chaos representatives as well.

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

That's fine. So long as you own a Number, and ZEXAL Power has been unlocked, you can use its Chaos Xyz form.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

And when will this ZEXAL power be unlocked anyway?

 

EDIT: Nvm, just being a blind bat <_<

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Also, I think I'll take this opportunity to explain how ZEXAL Power will work in this RP—Once it is awakened by a member (whom I shall select), everyone can activate it of their own accord, allowing them to Xyz Summon C-Number monsters through Chaos Xyz Change. However, certain Numbers, such as my Number 72, do not have a C form, as they can be summoned through Chaos Xyz Change normally.

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Well I said nvm <_<

[Wave_Sine]

So, if we want to use a custom Numbers would it include the "Numbers Clause"? (I'm guessing not, but it helps to make sure)

[Brinolovania]

Finally, a new YGO RP is up...

 

Reserved. App will probably be up really soon though.

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Numbers Clause is not required, as it is a given. And Pacman, your reserve is accepted.

[Brinolovania]

[spoiler=App]

Name: Jayce Pearson

Gender: Male

Age: 14

Duelist Type: Normal Duelist (I'm too epic for Numbers 8D)

Appearance: Jayce is slightly below average height. He has brown eyes and very dark brown hair that never quite looks neat. He wears glasses with small, square lenses. For his other clothes, he always wears a black hoodie unzipped over a plain black shirt with a red X on it. Plus simple jeans and sneakers. Duel equipment wise, his Duel Disk is a version of the standard model in red and orange. His D-Gazer is also orange on red, and he replaces one of the lenses of his glasses when he puts it on.

Personality: Jayce is a pretty smart guy, and a self-proclaimed nerd. He's a relatively nice person, and tries not to swear at all (except in extreme circumstances). He rarely gets angry, but when he does, he really does. Jayce isn't too popular at school, but he's fine with that, his reasoning being that you get into more awkward situations if you have more friends. He's not a championship-level duelist, but he does well at lower levels, and just wants to have fun anyway.

Background: Jayce grew up as a totally normal kid in a totally normal family. His parents were an archaeologist and a biology professor respectively, so he naturally became interested in science at an early age. Hence his nerdiness, and his chosen deck type.

 

Jayce was extremely excited when he heard about the WDC. He didn't plan to win or anything, but he thought it would be fun to get to face duelists from all over the world instead of just within Heartland. In addition, he had heard from a lot of friends, and even adults, about rumors of strange cards appearing in Heartland. Cards that had the power to inflict actual damage in a duel, not just holographic. The prospect of seeing one of these mythical cards, maybe even getting one, was another reason he entered the WDC.

Deck Type(s): Evols (I'll try to avoid spamming the Zars too much...)

Number(s) in Your Possession: n/a

 

 

 

I might not have quite the right number of lines because I'm typing this on my iPod.

[Barian Warlord]

Can I reserve Number 69: Excalibur Knight, he's the first Number I ever made plus I'm putting together a Boktai deck that should work with him.

[Wave_Sine]

[spoiler=App]

Name: Palir Coret

Gender: Male

Age: Early/Mid 20's

Duelist Type: Number Holder

Appearance:

[spoiler=Palir Coret]

D-Gazer is built into his left eye, due to his robotic nature.

 

Personality:

Palir is a highly stoic person, though can be a little slow to react to things around him. When threatened, he will try to keep himself from being hamed, though will usually try to protect others as well. He can become violent if 'prodded' towards this by others. However, since discovering a Numbers, these violent spells have become steadily more frequent...

 

Background:

Drifter. Transient. Vagrant. If you saw him walking by, those words may come to mind. Though he had been working with the Heartland Sanitation department, managing the equipment that emptied the Obots, and repairing it if necessary, he was always looking for something that he could use to repair himself. He had been... damaged before getting to Heartland, and a porcelain mask hides the true nature of his face, a new oufit covering his damaged shoulder. However, on just another work day, one of the Obots fell off of the equipment, damaging some of the critical gears and linkages that ran the conveyor. As he repaired the damage, Palir noticed that something had fallen out of the fallen Obot. A card, like the ones he had accuired soon after arriving, yet not like them. Numbers 42: Walking Cannon - Artillery Unit. As he picked up the card a grin came to his torn face. This. This would be the power with which he could repair himself.

 

Deck Type(s): Karakuri (Clockwork 217)

 

Number in Your Possession:

[spoiler='Numbers 42: Walking Cannon - Artillery Unit]

 

 

 

 

 

I was planning... to have... this character... speak haltingly. He would... pause between... every few... words. If this would irritate people, I'd rather not use this speech quirk instead of having it annoy other people once the RP starts.

 

Also, Boktai deck?

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Also, can you reserve No. 85 Holyciraptor for me?

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Name: Akuma Chishio

Gender: Female

Age: 25

Duelist Type: Number Hunter

[spoiler=Appearance: (has a sapphire Duel-Gazer)]

^Image Credit goes to CynicalSavior

Personality: On one side of the coin, Akuma is shown to have a motherly personality, but the flip side shows a darker, more brooding evil about her. It all depends on the emotions that are being shown around her at the time. But one thing remains the same: unlike the other Number Hunters, Akuma won't go round claiming other Number Cards aimlessly. She has specific Number Cards that she's after, and if the Number Holder or Hunter she's dueling turns out not to have the Number Card she's after, she won't hesitate to banish the Number Cards there to a realm that no-one can possibly access. Akuma also has the same gleam in her eyes as the Number Holders who have been possessed, which she can use to fool others into thinking she's a mere Holder.

Background: Since she's become a Number Hunter, Akuma Chishio has learned to be deceptive, as she was well aware that most Number Hunters had become hated over the years, and currently works for neither side. To aid in her deception, she has gained the ability to acquire the same gleam in her eyes as those possessed by the Numbers, fooling others into thinking she was only a mere Number Holder, and has mastered the use of four different decks, on the off-chance that she felt like using a different Number. Akuma has grown a second power as well through becoming a Number Hunter: the ability to either absorb the Number Card(s) from the Holder or Hunter she has defeated, or banish the ones she doesn't want with the dismissive wave of her hand. So far, no-one has been able to access the Numbers that Akuma has banished, not even Akuma herself.

 

Something seemed... off with the WDC, at least as per accordance to Akuma. Perhaps it was because all the Number Cards were said to be gathered here. Whatever the case, it seemed as though there was another job for Akuma to do: absorb whatever good numbers were there and banish the remaining so that they couldn't cause any harm to the population. Naturally, she signed up and started practising... not only her dueling skills, but the arts of her deception as well. However, she remained unaware for so long that it would only be a matter time before she'd have no choice before she had to reveal herself as a Number Hunter.

Deck Type(s): Akuma currently has 4 different Decks: A FabledWorld Deck, a Yugi-themed Deck, a Frog Deck and a Rock Deck. Each Deck is designed to accommodate a Number Monster that she hopes to acquire.

Number(s) in Your Possession: Number 7: Lucky Stripe, Number 11: Big Eye

[Barian Warlord]

Alex I'll be using my own Boktai cards, I'll try to get my app up today but if I can't it will take a couple of days do to me returning to the U.S.

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Reserves Accepted, apps accepted, aside from Stalfos, as you said you're still working on yours.

 

Also, I'll be taking control of IV or III for this RP (haven't decided), other people may take control of the other Tron Siblings, Dr. Faker, or Droite/Gauche. Also, I'll introduce another character as well, a more neutral party who is just in it for the WDC.
