Quote:Continued from Tale of a Pup: In the Dog House
It was the fresh smell of salt and seaweed that hit her first, then it was the sound of crashing waves.
The first thing she saw was the gold, it filled the sky, and continued to the water below. She spent way too much time underground, she lost track of the actual time. It was sunset, the end of a day in the Vasty.
She couldn’t remember the last time she got to enjoy a sunset, back home she would usually be at work when it happened, pounding away at the mountains of paperwork that towered over her on her desk.
As much as she wanted to soak it all in, she knew she only had moments of sunlight left, she had to get her bearings, and fast.
She was standing on a boardwalk that was suspended over a beach and some of the ocean dozens of feet in the air. To her left, extending out into the sea was an entire mini theme park, right there in the docks, complete with rollercoaster, ferris wheel, and tea cup ride.
To her right was where the boardwalk ends. There’s a couple of stairways leading down to the beach, but there was also a bridge that extends into the top of a nearby hill. From the looks of it, it lead to more of the city.
She looked down at the beach. Eventually, the sand gave way to a concrete road that separates the natural world and the city.
She noticed the road along the beach was much more lit, so she chose to go down the stairs.
Walking down the concrete path which was lit exclusively by street lights, she saw the long line of colorfully decorated shops that formed a row down the lane. While they were closed, she could imagine them selling t-shirts, ice cream, maybe some of them even sold food! She could swear some of them had a bar and stool for eating meals off of. That must of been the purpose.
The sun was now long gone, she only had the artificial lighting to guide her. However, a few hundred feet into her walk, she saw a sign.
“Beachside Inn! The closest bastion of comfort by the beach!” It said, it sat on top of the building, lit in neon lights. It looked taller than the buildings surrounding it, with some on the top floors clearly penthouse suites.
Before walking any further, she took some time to summon some cash. Coins. She read that raw Omnilium coins were the currency of this world. As soon as she had a large bag full, she stuffed it in her pocket and headed for the hotel.
“What could I get for you mademoiselle?” A man finely dressed to a T, his hair and mustache were perfection, stood across from one of the receptionist’s desks. Izzy almost felt incompetent just because she could only pull off a bun.
The lobby itself was chaos. The perfect pristine carpets, the chandeliers that seem to sprout from the ceiling every fifty feet or so. And yet despite that, she could see humans dressed in jean shorts, t-shirts, she could even see men in tank tops! It was like the line between the rich and poor never existed!
“Mademoiselle?” He asked again.
“My apologies, just a tad intimidated.” She said nervously. “I’d like to rent a room.”
“What kind of room are you looking for? We’ve had a number of cancellations recently. With DA ending so early, no one has time for a vacation anymore apparently, or at least the business owners the frequent this establishment. Hahaha.”
Isabelle wasn’t sure if that was supposed to be a joke, so she laughed along anyways. Considering the look he gave, it may not have been very convincing, or human for that matter.
“Well yes. What I mean is the sky’s the limit!”
“Well, run me down what you have, then we can discuss what’s in my price range.”
“Well, we have the standard, kitchen, twin beds, bathroom, tv. We have a Standard+ which is the same package but with a view of the ocean. We also have Standard and Standard+ plans with queen-sized bed.”
“Ooh!” She liked spacious beds, such a luxury. You could roll around in them!
“We have the deluxe, a full on balcony along with full access to the hotel’s services at no cost, this option is at much steeper price of course. Queen sized option for that, too.
“And finally, the penthouse suite. We have one open surprisingly, the billionaire that checked in for the next two weeks had to leave on emergency, something about ‘getting elected to public office on short notice.’ Of course, wouldn’t expect that to be in your price range.
“Speaking of which, how much are you looking pay?”
She pulled out a giant bag full of money and dropped it on the counter, it pours over in front of the man who just glares down at it, bewildered to have that much money not transferred by plastic.
“How much will that get me?”
Next thing she knows, she’s riding the elevator all the way up. She had to activate it with a special key the hotel gave her. They told her it would take her directly to her room, but she didn’t believe it until the doors opened and she saw an entire giant living space devoted to her.
It was bigger than most houses! Heck, it was bigger than her own house in the Ashen Steppes! With a fully functioning kitchen, a gigantic king-sized bed a gigantic bathroom with jacuzzi tub. But the best thing of all, something her house could never provide, was a view, oh my gosh the view, spanning the entire beach! And even spanning around to look at the city behind her. It was nothing like she imagined.
She couldn’t imagine in a million years having a place like this no less her own lifetime.
“This… is… INCREDIBLE!” She screamed in giddiness as she tossed herself into her king sized water bed.

I would like it if a Staff Member were to copy the max spendable OM for NPC Primes and add it to the rules for the various levels. Having looked over it twice, and found no details relating to such, it would make things easier for members if such info were there.

In an attempt to expand my writing capabilities, and to provide challenges to other players I will be looking for volunteers who wouldn't mind Heartless being dropped into their threads by me, and attacking them out of the blue. Would anyone wish to participate in such?

It is a dream fight and Gamzio and Gillidan will be fused in the nightmare, does this cost SP?
Not sure if SP can be used in the astral realm either.
But I kind of have my heart set on making it work and would love to know if the mechanics should change.

Try not to be too self deprecating. Feel free to spam this thread or be vague.
Example instead of explanation:
What if I chose Gildarts as my alt because I've moved around so much I secretly feel like a hobo wizard and my subconscious knows I'll always be on the move?
Freeza: What if I secretly want to take over the world but I'm not an alien so I want to live vicariously through my characters?
Christa: Is this what it would be like if I had a sister?
What if Christa keeps killing her sister because metaphorically I keep trying to kill the innocence inside me to become a responsible adult ut it won't stay down?

Inspired by Malon's mimic during DA, and the gilded hairpiece, and red's artifact. We all got some extra lookins at each others rosters and while it is fresh in our minds..
If your character could use one move from another character's roster, what would it be?
Please explain why it would be cool for your character to have that one specific move, crossing of canons and source material, etc.
You can still answer this if you have mimic too =D

Hey guys! Sorry for my absence - I think it was pretty clear towards the end of my last stay that RL was becoming increasingly difficult to juggle with activity. However! I've had an urge to write once more!
... the difficulty is I'm not sure what I want to write as.
I am pretty set on starting over; I dislike picking up characters again after a long hiatus. So, at least partly to get my thoughts down on paper, I'd like to ask for opinions on who I should return as.
Having given it a looot of thought, I've narrowed it down as follows:
Villains
Harley Quinn
![[Image: 7A9dycO.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/7A9dycO.jpg)
“I’m rubber, you’re glue, whatever you say bounces off me and makes a six-inch-diameter exit wound in you.”
Classic Flavour Harley! I genuinely believe that Harley's comic run was one of the best series that DC ever produced. Funny, clever, and giving her some independence from her abusive relationship - Harley has a great personality and could be a lot of fun. There's a lot of scope for crime sprees and sewing confusion, whilst Harley herself rarely goes so dark that killing her is clearly the best option.
Upsides:
- Zany heists!
- Simple power set.
- Excuse to be anywhere.
- Plenty of opportunity for witty banter and puns.
- Big friggin' hammer.
Downsides: - Limited power set.
- Likely to get in trouble early and often. May just take a bullet to the head.
- Likely to burn bridges quick.
- Someone might app The Joker and we might not click.
Kane
![[Image: nDcBYoN.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/nDcBYoN.jpg)
"You can't kill the Messiah."
King of real time strategy games and god complexes, Kane is a megalomaniac with visions of global domination and the intellect to make it work. Whilst not (traditionally) much of a powerhouse himself, he inspires millions to rise up in his name, and has an awe-inspiring array of minions and mooks to work with. He's charismatic and well-spoken, whilst not being so smooth that he can't fly into a good rage every now and then.
Upsides:
- Awesome goatee.
- Cool set of minions and the new Forces rules could play nicely with that.
- Good for dramatic speeches and has a variety of catchphrases.
- Tactical Genius!
Downsides:
- More political than a lot of villains. Political RP can be a headache.
- Need to wrap my head around fighting as himself.
- Does not set his goals small.
- Requires some buy-in from others regarding his abilities (e.g. being prepared etc)
Heroes
Asuka Langley Soryu
![[Image: 0QKwNYc.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/0QKwNYc.jpg)
"There's no way I can lose!"
Again, going for the classic rather than the reboot. Asuka is a character I really enjoy. An angry spitfire with major insecurity issues and the determination to prove that she can overcome them. She's a genius pilot and a genuinely good-hearted person... at least, in terms of her motivations; she's also a raging bitch who doesn't mind tearing other people down to make herself feel better.
Upsides:
- Chicks dig giant robots.
- Lots of anger and THE DRAMA but in a good way.
- No stupid Shinji.
- Could have an interesting character arc adapting to life outside of NERV.
Downsides: - I remember giant robots being hard to work in the system but I haven't investigated that.
- Also she wouldn't have her support network of people to keep the giant robot running.
- Basically 'difficulty adapting to Omniverse'.
- Somewhat bitchy.
Inquisitor Xaeri
![[Image: 1hbrzCG.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/1hbrzCG.jpg)
"You ask by what authority I killed a billion people? The tragedy is, I did not have the authority to let them live."
Xaeri is the Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor I used to run a Dark Heresy campaign a few years back. Xaeri is of the Ordo Malleus (essentially daemon hunters) and is something of a Radical - in that she does not hesitate to use her enemy against one another when she can. In the Omniverse, I see her adapting quite quickly to the notion of protecting the vast number of secondaries by taking out dangerous Primes. She has the right sort of mindset to be more adaptable and ready to work with others than many 40k characters.
Upsides:
- 40k has a wide variety of cool weapons and things to play with.
- Severe and uncompromising without being downright bitchy.
- Good at working with others.
- Few groups she can't find a reason to interact with.
Downsides:
- Is essentially an OC so requires more work to convince people they are cool.
- May be too 'hardline' for a lot of 'good guys'.
- Everyone's 40k canon is different.
- EVERYTHING IS HERESY.
Leeloo Dallas
![[Image: o0QjnM1.jpg]](http://i.imgur.com/o0QjnM1.jpg)
"Me fifth element - supreme being. Me protect you."
Leeloo was created by an advanced alien race to be the fifth part in their superweapon against evil. She is a 'perfect' being, extremely quick to learn and absorb information, awesome in a fight and with an innate drive to protect others. She also has bright orange hair and some of the most badass fight music in cinematic history.
Upsides:
- Multipass.
- Cast of cool secondaries.
- Quick to adapt and few preconceptions about how things 'should' work so likely to take to the Omniverse well.
- Interesting speech pattern.
Downsides:
- Extremely limited power set. In the movie she just punches and kicks things.
- Likely to grow beyond the initial character quite rapidly in personality as well.
- 'Perfect Being' requires filling in a lot of blanks.
- No Korben Dallas.
- Yes she knows it's a Multipass.
And there we go! If anyone has any thoughts/comments I'd love to hear them. I'm quite impulsive though, so I might make up my mind on a whim and just go for it...

I still have a few more posts before I get there, since there is some characters stuff I want to hammer through before I could do this, but I was thinking of starting an Open thread where our characters just hang out at the beach. No fighting, no drama, just us in swimsuits getting some R&R IC.
I think it's kind of what some of us need after current events.
Isabelle will be there with her secondary Rosie. I might have one of Guu's NPCs there as well, not sure which one. But yeah, if we get a lot of people in, it'll be a chance to meet new people outside a battle situation!
Anyone interested? PCs and NPCs are welcome!
PS: thread name suggestions are much appreciated!

Got one more fight to resolve.
Other than that, it's over.
For those who lived to the end, you only need to post in the 'Elimination Exit' thread. I'll send out rewards for the non-corpses once they post there and are officially 'moved on'.
Participation for the Spectator and Elimination Exit threads will come later on (I prefer doing those separately).
