The Grand Crossover RP - Pathway to Origin [OOC/Apps Closed for Finale]

[Phantom Roxas]

Clerano and Blaze are presumed to have died on the surface of the Sphere Forest by being burned to death, while Shadronus lost interest in the Origin War. If you want to come back to the roleplay, you'll have to check in with Merciful.

[Shadow Zero]

Been thinking about it, but unsure how I would go about it. I've been considering the possibility of Clerano and Blaze having been Zapped away by Shadronus for reasons.

Are we still on the third arc?

[Merci]

I suppose I can allow them to be zapped away, but first, it better be for a good reason, and second, I'm afraid you won't be able to re-enter the GCRP until we enter Arc IV due to your prolonged absence.

 

And yeah, as you can see from the title, we are still on the third arc. But the boss battle is almost over, so applications and stuff should be reopened in about a week or so.

[Shadow Zero]

Other than the obvious fact that I started having trouble keeping track of everything (was kind of relying on the map for that, and there wasn't really a proper one. :| ), There was school stuff and the like, not to mention all the other stuff that I'm usually up to.

 

As for in-story reasons I've been giving some thought on those as well in the past couple of days, but I'm unsure exactly how much of it I'm going to implement, partly because I intended on introducing two new characters along with reintroducing Clerano and Shadronus, and while technically it would just be the past and future versions of Shadronus (both of which are just regular dudes with a bunch of power, like most other characters in this rp), they would still occupy three physical character slots, which I'm pretty sure would be an issue.

[Merci]

(was kind of relying on the map for that, and there wasn't really a proper one. :neutral: )

<_<

 

>_>

 

My deepest apologies for that. Again, I must reiterate my hatred for spheres. Blame the spheres and their overly complicated stuff.

 

As for your characters, since I don't know anything about them, I can't really say much about that. Just try to resolve the issue on your own, maybe get rid of a character if you want the slots to fit, and that's all.

[Shadow Zero]

Well, my main concern is really that part of what I had planned for was Shadronus to face off against Protheus Maximus directly during the last battle. Other than that, helping with upgrades/buffs at some point, and possibly speaking with a few characters (One of them being Isamy), I don't think he would be doing too much, unless Arthuria decided he was going to be his replacement, which we all know isn't going to happen. lol

 

On the other hand, I can't really think of anything I want to do with Blaze. :/

 

Edit: So I think I've pretty much figured out what I am going to do. Blaze is going to be side-lined. I think his one main connection was the bond he and Kratos formed towards the beginning of Arc 3, and since Kratos is apparently (from what I heard) doomed to die, I'm not going to worry about continuing Blaze's involvement. Clerano will still be involved, with some slight modifications/additions to his profile/equipment/power set, courtesy of Shadronus. I'll come up with something for Blaze.

As to my other characters Merc, there's a potential plot device that I would like to speak with you about when you've the time, preferably outside the thread so that half the people here don't insist on chiming in with their thoughts, as I know they will from years of experience.

[Phantom Roxas]

I think you should at least do something with Blaze. Give him a proper sendoff if you don't plan to use him anymore.

[Shadow Zero]

Oh, I have something in mind for him. It's nothing spectacular or anything like that, but it will be appropriate to the character an his complicated history.

[Draconus297]

Hello there.

 

This looks extremely interesting.

 

May I please be notified when this "Arc 4" is to begin, so I may submit my application at the proper time?

[Phantom Roxas]

We're in the middle of a boss fight, but once that's over (And apparently it will be soon, so maybe sometime next month), Arc 4 will begin.

 

I'll try to get a post out today. After that, I'll get to work on a Status Update.

[Draconus297]

Would turning in my apps now and waiting be alright, or should I wait until the boss battle ends?

 

EDIT:

Y'know what, I'll leave them here, and dig them up when the time comes.

 

"Refer to me in such a manner again and I will not hesitate to show you exactly why I believe you are underutilizing your abilities."

 

Username: Draconus297

 

Name: "E"

 

Age: 14 standard years- time passes oddly in The Fortress, so specifics are uncertain

 

Gender: Male

 

Appearance: The only constant to his appearance is his short stature (5'1", to be precise)- thanks to watching a very small clip of "X-Men", he may change appearance at will, though he prefers male forms. His preferred appearance is his original one- sandy, light brown hair, cut shoulder-length; vivid emerald eyes; absurd pallor; three narrow scars running from his left temple to the center of his forehead. He never seems to remove his black Kevlar jumpsuit, so it is an absolute mystery as to how he keeps his sanitized-clean lack of any odor whatsoever.

 

Origin: Sadly, "The Troop Agency" has apparently vanished off the face of the Internet- I'll try to track down a link later, but I make no promises. EDIT: There's my fanfic, but it uses his abilities as of Chapter 11- this version is based off of his abilities as of Chapter 20- now he can shapeshift! Link anyway: http://draconus297.deviantart.com/art/Familiar-First-Event-443420333

 

Bio: E is one of 26 Troops, human beings augmented with powerful abilities to help a man known only as "The Commander" achieve total control of Earth's governments. As his name implies, E was created fifth- yet, for some unknown reason, his genetics did not bond to the rapid-aging process all the Troops were subjected to. In layman's terms, he actually appears to be 14.

Like the other Troops, he was told to look to a young woman they were instructed to refer to as "Ms. Vasquez" as a parent and mentor, and he took well to her. She showed favoritism towards him, breaking several rules in order to bring the comparatively weak E up to par with the other Troops- showing him various films to give his visual mimicking ability something to mimic.

When X, V, and P found out what The Commander was planning, E was an essential part of the effort to evacuate all the Troops from the Fortress in the Sky. In the process, however, he (with U hidden in his shadow) was separated from the majority of people he knew.

Since then, he's been searching for Ms. Vasquez and the other Troops. Aside from a run-in with X, he hasn't had much luck.

 

Personality: Like the other early Troops, he doesn't have the firmest grasp on normality. While not as deluded as B, E does not understand many emotions- those he does know come from Ms. Vasquez and U, who have acted as his moral compasses.

While generally a two-faced flake who does as he pleases, E is staunchly defensive of U and has been known to face down the near-omnipotent Commander for the slightest hint towards Ms. Vasquez's whereabouts. U has even managed to convince E to stay committed to tasks he isn't find of by holding out the possibility of finding his only parental figure.

 

Faction: Divine (although he may switch sides at personal convenience)

 

Stolen Artifact: (I'm following canon as of Chapter 20, remember) AEGIS, a machine that takes any incoming force, triples it, and stamps on a "return to sender".

 

Powers/Equipment: While capable of shapeshifting, self-duplication, pyrokinesis, and "double-jumping", these are all sourced from E's primary ability- mimicking anything he sees. While this has obvious limits (wind, sonic, and void-based abilities come to mind), E is extremely creative and has used anything and everything in his power to take down any opponent he faces. For the most part, he's been successful.

To counter what E can't copy is U, who (thanks to X interfering) is now permanently in E's shadow- literally. U functions as limitless inventory space thanks to his bad brush with X, and (provided E can make his shadow overlap with someone else's) can move objects by moving their shadow, or relay their thoughts to E.

Besides E's Kevlar bodysuit and soft-soled military boots, all E really owns are his twin standard-issue hunting knives, which he has U keeping safe.

"Consume . . ."

 

Username: Draconus297

 

Name: Vorahk

 

Age: About four days

 

Gender: Indeterminate

 

Appearance: (this will be added in just a bit, technical difficulties)

 

Origin: http://bionicle.wikia.com/wiki/Vorahk

 

Bio: This ruthless, insatiable Rahkshi of Hunger may have been imprisoned in ice, but (as many farm workers would attest) you can't exactly stop a vicious bug with mere cold. After its escape, it stole and infected a Mask of Shielding, to bring its master a new servant- unaware that Makuta Teridax had already perished, and the wearer of its infected Kanohi would serve the newly-independent Vorahk.

 

Personality: (I'm theory crafting, so you'll have to work with me) Vorahk is brutish and dedicated to overcoming enemies through raw power, rather than attacking weak points like Porahk or mentally manipulating its foes like Turahk or Kurahk. Like all other Rahkshi, Vorahk cannot process the meaning of "mercy". Vorahk is nearly as mindless as the Rahi that made up Teridax's first attempt at conquering the surface, but has just enough intelligence to realize strengths and weaknesses of allies for combat strategy.

 

Faction: Divine

 

Stolen Artifact: An infected Mask of Shielding. While the mask can still technically provide the temporary invulnerability it's supposed to, the wearer would be bound to Vorahk as a mindless slave until some outside force either purifies or removes the mask.

 

Powers/Equipment: Like all Rahkshi, Vorahk is driven by an insectoid kraata, which infects everything it comes in contact with- however, this requires the vulnerable kraata to expose itself, which is a last resort at best.

Vorahk's Staff of Absorption drains away the physical strength and mental awareness of everyone it touches (and transfers it to Vorahk), save Vorahk itself- and as long as Vorahk holds it, Vorahk's body holds the same property.

Vorahk may fold its body inward to hover off the ground, and may travel at high speeds in this state- however, Vorahk may not engage in combat without unfolding first.

"I'm sorry, but I cannot lose."

 

Username: Draconus297

 

Name: Kamikirimusi

 

Age: Over 600

 

Gender: Female

 

Appearance: (again I apologize)

 

Origin: http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Kamikirimusi

 

Bio: After defeating Algol, the last oni felt compelled to protect her new family- this entailed hefting her mighty kanabo again in the defense of her home and family. Her new cause entailed gearing up for battle the moment things happened that Algol could not readily explain. After being assured her "brother" was fine by himself, Kamikirimusi joined the Counter Corps in an effort to preserve her newfound stable home.

 

Personality: Kamikirimusi is generally calm, following rules from reasonable authority without giving much thought as to why. While powerful and brutal in combat, she is generally apologetic about it- unusually for her kind, she does not enjoy violence and prefers solutions to be found outside combat.

 

Faction: The Counter Corps- she just wants this to be over so she can go home.

 

Artifact Stolen: Soul Edge (although it wasn't stolen, per se- Algol gave it to her in case she needed it)

 

Powers/Equipment: Her heavy, pine-and-iron kanabo; a set of prayer beads. Like all oni, Kamikirimusi has absurd physical strength [i've calculated this- Kamikirimusi never seems to exert herself, which means she's using 15% of her strength or less. One of her grapple attacks involves her using her kanabo to lift and slam another character. Ignoring wind resistance and centripetal force, Kamikirimusi is at the minimum capable of generating 57,920 pounds of force in one hand] and a resistance to everything short of magic and purified steel.

[Merci]

As to my other characters Merc, there's a potential plot device that I would like to speak with you about when you've the time, preferably outside the thread so that half the people here don't insist on chiming in with their thoughts, as I know they will from years of experience.

*shrug* Sure. Go ahead and PM me then.

 

Hello there.

 

This looks extremely interesting.

 

May I please be notified when this "Arc 4" is to begin,

Hopefully within the next two weeks.

 

So then, I guess posting your app now is fine, since I'm pretty sure there were those who did it for Arc 2.

 

It seems unfinished right now, but you know, I'd appreciate it if you did not remove the whole 'Name:', 'Biography:', and all the others since it's less confusing that way. Otherwise, the app appears cluttered and uncertain. You can look at previous applications (all listed on the first page) if you need an example~

 

Unfortunately, an Origin is required, so there needs to a link to basically anything that can serve as proof that this character existed. I tried searching for this Troop Agency thing but all I found was your DA page which occasionally mentions it. However, if you've ever made a fanfic with this Agent E person, then you can link to that.

 

Also what from I hear on your journal, E's pretty overpowered, so please try to balance that out, thank you.

[Merci]

Well, guys, we're almost near the climax of the Arc 3 Boss! I know that this battle has been a little confusing compared to the other one and I apologize for that, but since we're so close, GO! GO GO GO! UNLEASH EVERYTHING YOU HAVE GAIZU!!!

Also since I'm incredibly late, here you go. The one and only status update for the current arc boss:

[spoiler=The (Approximate) Status of The Madara]

ザまだら

Idealistic Analysis of Infinite Tsukuyomi: 93%

Current Subjects:
Eria
Slifer
Arthur Ancyl
Ayame
Yomi
Zaraki Kenpachi
Yachiru

Total Essence: 95/1000

Total Energy: 70/1000

Physical Form: 93%

Has been reduced to less than 1/10th of power due to failed experimentations with its own abilities and sustained extra damage from the Galaxian Explosion, while the creation of the various Tenshi Zetsus has required extra energy to be sacrificed. Also, the Physical Form is almost at its peak, rendering the Madara more vulnerable to attack. 
 
However, once the Analysis is complete and the 'ultimate ideal' has been developed, Infinite Tsukuyomi will automatically be projected onto everyone, thus pulling them all into its perfect world immediately and ending the battle.

 

Final Hint:
"Remember to always control your own destiny. Otherwise, someone else is going to try for you."

 

Oh, but the last post is already reserved for someone else, remember that. I've already worked it out with another user~ ^_^

Next page, I expect Arc IV to be starting and apps to be reopened~

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Any prisoner that was in the Vault has the capacity to leave if they got on the Aeon before it departed.

So if you want your character free, when the Aeon comes along, they can be mentioned to have gotten aboard.

And you don't have to sneak aboard. The Freelancers were helping to liberate the prisoners.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Physical object stays, right?

[Kingdom Xathers]

I was planning to have the prisoners take any artifacts they can carry from the Vault with them, in case any of those items would be of use to any of the other cast.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

I was planning to have the prisoners take any artifacts they can carry from the Vault with them, in case any of those items would be of use to any of the other cast.

Of course. The Aeon's crew has also secured many artifacts that they deem safe for transit, such as Itsu's Pure Edge.

[Maeriberii Haan]

Now this would be the best time for whoever's in charge of breaking the pinata to do their job, and maybe gets the prize inside.

[Merci]

So umm, yeah. The truth is, the roleplay ends here. Infinite Tsukuyomi has been activated and the Madara has won gaiz. It's over. Just face it, it's over, and there's NOTHHHIINNGGG you can do about it. Nothing. Nu-uh, nothing at all.

 

Plot twist sudden ending, just like that, boom.

 

This was the plan. Get used to it. You can pack your character apps and go now~

 

Nothing new to see here~

[Maeriberii Haan]

Yay! Broken, post your RP. now.

Oh.

[Shadow Zero]

You MUST be joking. You're seriously going to leave things with THIS kind of ending?

 

Dude, I am definitely 100% sure that this is not how you are going to leave things. It's just too much of a dick move.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Read the last sentence at the end of the current post. Merciful is trolling us. Nuff said.

[Merci]

You MUST be joking. You're seriously going to leave things with THIS kind of ending?

 

Dude, I am definitely 100% sure that this is not how you are going to leave things. It's just too much of a dick move.

 

Have some faith, Ximnus~ You say that you're 100% sure, but you're also acting so serious that it's like you're taking it seriously~

 

That aside, we're all doomed to be in Infinite Tsukuyomi.

 

Sorreh.
