Going to go back to the drawing board on this for now . Working out information on phase 1 first

Character name: Kevin Striker

Character source: Based off the protagonist of SF 2010: The Final Fight. He is neither Ken Masters nor Kevin Straker, rather his story combines a bit of both characters'.

Character history: In Kevin's home universe, technology is very advanced, societies not so much. Things like a military force are still necessary, albeit to protect people from extraordinary threats such as mutants and aliens. Kevin was one such military cyborg who battled against those threats utilizing a custom-made suit deviced by his brilliant friend Troy, who was murdered following an attack on Earth by alien terrorists.

In his attempt to bring those who killed his friend to justice, Kevin battled through alien worlds and eventually ended up facing Troy himself, who was not only alive but also mad with megalomania. In fact, his death had been orchestated so that Kevin would not be at Earth to protect it when Troy's forces launched their attack. Feeling betrayed but still determined, Kevin defeated the now mutant Troy and immediately returned home to help fend off Troy's alien armada.

The war lasted for a month, Earth's military battered but victorious. Without Troy's leadership, the aliens were little more than a rampaging horde. Even so, several major cities suffered severe damage and Kevin himself was seemingly slain when he battled the horde's elite. They say heroes die young...

...Or so they say. When Kevin wakes up, he is not on planet Earth anymore. He is in the Omniverse.

Physical Description: With 180 cm tall, and around 160 kg of weight, Kevin is more than fit for his military duties. He is fond of his military gear and as he is often in strange locations, it is rare to see him without his custom-made suit. The helmet seems to be missing, which exposes his head, allowing people to see his blond hair and caucasian skin tone. One of his eyes is cybernetic, which can be discerned even through his sunglasses.

Stats:
ATK: 3
DEF: 2
SPD: 3
TEC: 2

Starting Proficiencies:
Physical Strength - 1000 OM
Range Proficiency - 1000 OM
Area Attack Proficiency - 600 OM

Starting Powers:

Starting Moves:

Energy Bullet (requires Physical Strength) – 300 OM

Kevin's basic attack is an energy bullet that seems to come from his fists or arms. He takes as long to throw each one as he would to punch someone, and the bullets exact as much of a toll on him as a regular punch would. They can also be dodged as easily - if Kevin would not land a punch on you, neither he would an energy bullet. Slightly larger than a fist, moves as quickly as a regular punch would. Each bullet has a range of three feet (or almost one meter), basically just empowering his regular melee attacks.

Heavy Strike (requires Physical Strength, Range Proficiency, Area Attack Proficiency) – 900 OM

Sacrificing mobility, Kevin puts extra strength to throw the equivalent of a heavy punch in a swinging motion - and exposing himself to the same weaknesses a regular heavy throw causes on a boxer. Takes as long to charge as a regular heavy fist attack, power is more in the swing than in the build up of energy. It is more draining than a regular fist however as his entire body provides momentum for the attack. They move as quickly as a regular attack. Unless blocked by anything, it goes on to hit multiple enemies in a row (not just the first target, although subsequent targets get hurt less and less).

Mid-Air Shot (requires Physical Strength, Range Proficiency, Area Attack Proficiency) - 0 OM

Should at any moment Kevin find himself on the air rather than ground, he is capable of throwing a single energy bullet in a certain direction - usually his front, although he can also throw it below or above him if his position permits. This bullet is at first a regular energy bullet, then grows to become a weaker Heavy Strike as Kevin grows in power, but it never changes direction regardless of Kevin's total strength, and is also more tiring as he is effectively performing a punch mid-jump or mid-air or if for example if his feet are frozen in place he cannot really swing or punch as freely as he otherwise would.

I confirm that I have read and agreed to the Rules of Conduct.

Where did you find us?

Google, indirectly. I ran a search for "play by post game directory". Ended up on RPGfix, which brought me here (the Omniverse is the highest rated RPG on the list, or at least the easiest to see).

The Ashen Blades
"We're here to make your day just a little bit worse."


Ashen Creed

• Luci
  
• Morene Fellon
  
• The Humble Sage
  
• Okor Paleblood
  
• Omni
  

But I doubt I can return a old secondary that i used to play here?

The blank canvas disappeared behind her. The black cracked ground of the Ashen Steppes appeared before her. Dawn looked at the smoky sky that was clouded with ash. It took a moment for it all to sink in, but this felt somewhat like home to her. She couldn't place exactly why.

The noticeable change in heat already had Dawn sweating. She wiped her hand over her forehead and took deeper breaths to compensate for the thicker density in the air. “Fuck, it's hot in here. I need a tanktop and some water.” She held out her hand as the omnilium worked it’s magic shit and a bottle of water appeared in her hand in a handful of seconds. Then she took the time to summon new clothes over her body replacing the clothes she was wearing before, except her beanie which hid her right eye. She wore a loose tank top and a shorter skirt with a pair of white tennis shoes.

Dawn continued on. She didn't know exactly where she was going. This world was big and finding any kind of town or settlement seemed like it should be trivial, but it was actually on the contrary. If there was some settlement, it was far from the gate.

A screech sounded from a distance away. Dawn covered her ears and hid behind a rock protruding from the ground. It was a dragon flying by, and thankfully it didn't notice her. Her dark clothes blended into the scenery quite well. Once it had passed by, Dawn stood and continued on. She should've been surprised by the fact that dragons inhabited this world, but nothing was strange to her. Especially now that her life has changed. It made think of how boring her life was before: A stupid job, stupid bills, stupid people. The only thing she missed was her dog Rouge. The only being in her life she cared about up to this point that wasn't dead or fake. She wondered if she could used her new powers to make life. Could she bring her dog to this world, or only inanimate objects? She took shelter behind a rock again and sat down against it. She focused hard on her furry friend. A bubble of glowing light appeared in front of her. Was it working? It took awhile, but after about a half hour, the Siberian husky materialized completely and shook herself off. “Rouge!” Dawn screamed silently hugging her companion. “I'm glad to have you back.” The dog replied in kind by licking her master in the face multiple times. “Alright!” She laughed and pushed her off. “This place is dangerous, okay? Let's be careful.” She said as she stood again checking to see if the coast was clear. Unfortunately, some scaly fiends had moved in and there wasn't much room to avoid them. “We've got company Rogue, 5 Alpha.” The drakes hadn't noticed the two yet though, they could use that to their advantage. “Let me summon a closer range weapon first, in case things get hairy.” She sat back down to summon her rifle, Oscurità. The black rifle formed in hand and she strapped onto her back. Now she had noticed Mortem had disappeared. “One weapon at a time hunh? Alright then.” She snapped her fingers and the rifle on her back faded away into a black mist and was replaced with the sniper she started with.

Even after another 20 minutes, the drakes had not moved and seemed to be idly looking for food. Dawn wasn’t dumb enough to shoot at them: Skin was one thing, steel was another, but scales? Not even the bullets Dawn carried would go through drake scale. “Rouge, follow Beta.” She said as a code, which the dog understood completely. She lowered her body to the floor and got ready while Dawn pulled her sniper over the rock after applying the silencer. She aimed for the ground by the feet of the drakes and fired a potshot. The whistling of the bullet and rising of the black dust caught their attention. They turned away from the two to investigate while the girl and dog snuck past them quickly and quietly. Once out of range, Dawn relaxed. “This place is very dangerous. Keep your attention focused."

As Sabrina is slowly ascending towards that 22.000 OM mark, I am starting to consider my options for a third character. And, as many of you may know, I am horribadly incapable of taking decisions. Because of this, my "this character could be fun" list grows ever longer.
(I've ruled out a few characters based on my thinking of "which ones I want just cause they seem cool?" but a number remain, detailed below.)

That's why I decided to make yet another thread asking for you guys to help me! If you think any of the characters mentioned below is an awesome idea or someone I really should not have on this list (or anything in between), just write it. Just, please do NOT suggest yet more characters, unless you want to drive me completely crazy

WARNING: The below characters may include heavy spoilers to their respective canons! If you're not very far into a specific canon and don't want to spoil yourself, skip it.


The Elder Kiln - Runescape
[spoiler]This is a pretty wild idea that I came up with - and may, to my knowledge, be the first "Object" Prime since Koren the sword. Here's a link if you want to read more about the Elder Kiln - be warned, it includes a LOT of Runescape lore. For those not interested, it's basically a giant forge capable of creating living beings.

The pros are mainly about the originality of the character and its possible implications - will it have a Secondary that fakes being the Prime, while the Kiln itself poses as an object that is essentially an enormous tool or a dwelling of the fake Prime? It also has the pros of being a character from a verse with very rich content and lots of fictional culture.

The cons revolve around the character being hugely expensive. It is likely going to need Shrink and Malleability to even fit through most Nexus Gates, if such an enormous character is even allowed in the first place, even if I tone it down some, it will need Shapeshifting and a handful of powers and proficiencies. Not to mention, its moves will be absurdly complicated because it fights through summoned constructs rather than by itself. Finally, I wonder if a character like this would even be functional in events such as Dante's Abyss.

In short, it's a high risk high reward option.[/spoiler]


Yang Xiao Long - RWBY
[spoiler]I could give Yang another try! There would be a little less reliance on a complete RWBY team - chances are that I would make a Blake NPC Prime to complete the quartet, if nobody else makes her - but the character is still fun.
I believe that after a lengthy period of not having watched RWBY - especially the later episodes - I have gotten over my bitterness with Yang's character, and can give her a second shot. It may not work out, or it may. I've no idea.

Pros include that Ruby and Weiss are already in the Omniverse and there is a little history going on from back when Blake and Yang existed. Yang is also a character different in personality from my two other ones (Sabrina and Amaterasu) and someone that could be fun.

Cons include that Ruby is not particularly active and Weiss mostly hangs with her. As I am a very active person I may not meet them much in the Omniverse unless something changes. Also, because RWBY is not concluded and growing progressively dark, I am afraid of being dealt yet another blow if Yang suffers more, one way or another. If that happens I may ditch her entirely.[/spoiler]

Iskander - Fate Zero
[spoiler]Possibly the character that's been on this list the longest. Iskander has a very interesting personality and I would say he plays very different from my current characters. He also has the potential to be both a hero and a villain.

Pros include his personality, behavior and the nature of his abilities - he seems fun! A very laid-back character even in the face of danger, unlike other characters who are only happy-go-lucky because they haven't faced a proper threat yet. He would not be "broken" by the Omniverse, I believe. He would enjoy it. We also have Girugamesh on the site whose character is from the same verse, and even knew Iskander. There may be space for interaction.

Cons are mainly about a limited movepool once I reach a certain mark, and I don't really know where to go from there. I'm also generally unsure about where to take it. I believe there are other characters offering more potential.[/spoiler]

Mirajane Strauss - Fairy Tail
[spoiler]I've been on and off considering her, but the fact remains - Mirajane is easily one of my top favorite characters in Fairy Tail after a certain point. She gets a ton of points for being a general cool character/awesome big sister/fun-loving even when not using her spells. When using her magic, she's a total badass. And if she also flips her "evil" switch, the badassery-meter explodes. In short, her badassery makes her even better than Erza, in my opinion. Couple that with her general fun and friendly nature (when she's not in her evil mode) and she could be a very fun character!

Pros are, as described above, her general badassery and how she can flip from "friendly" to "murderous". Also big sister factor (I'd bring Lisana to the Omniverse, no second thoughts about that) and Erza + Gildarts exist in the Omniverse already, which opens some possibility for interactions. The universe she is pulled from is fairly rich in characters in general.

Cons are the egregious amount of fanservice that Mirajane (as most female Fairy Tail characters) is subjected to - I mean hell, at one point she has a bikini contest with her rival, and the rest of the time she's usually dressed in very "airy" dresses. That just generally irks me. Also, Erza and Gildarts are miles above my writing levels, meaning that I may only interact with them very rarely, if at all.[/spoiler]

Kaguya Otsotsuki - Naruto Shippuden
[spoiler]Possibly the biggest spoilers anyone can read that is not done with Naruto yet! Read at your own discretion!

Kaguya is... well, the final-est boss of the final-est bosses. She is the single person who has shaped the entire Narutoverse with her actions and on some level all the storyline threads lead back to her. She's also a character with huge depth despite her brief appearance and a character of nearly endless possibilities because, well, she's the source of all Chakra and of all Kekkei-Genkai. She's essentially the entire Narutoverse combined into one character.

Pros include her endless possibilities without straying from canon. Most powers, proficiencies and moves can be slapped on her just fine because of how infinite the range of her powers in the Narutoverse was. She'd need millions of OM to just obtain the powers present in the official Naruto canon. Also, she would be an awesome evil character, and her "chakra draining" power would merge really well into Omnilium extraction.

Cons include that in the Naruto universe Kaguya was so grossly overpowered that she only really was defeated because of plot - and that would be pretty much impossible to include in the Omniverse until I get ten stat-ups and a T3 Power-Up. And even then it's debatable. The lady had reality-warping, space-manipulating powers and a "one-hit certain death" attack for god's sake. Plus, any Naruto character present in the Omniverse knows that she needs to be banished, pronto.[/spoiler]

Ditto - Pokemon
[spoiler]This one is... egh. Ditto already exists but was swapped out from, and I wouldn't want to nab the character unless I am certain that his player doesn't come back. Ditto is quite an interesting character however because of his Shapeshifting and Mimic powers, which is something I would love on any character I could have, but this character literally revolves around those two powers.

Pros include Shapeshifting and Mimic being an integral part of the character's kit.

Cons include that Ditto is from the same universe as Sabrina and that the character used to be taken, meaning that he has a history that I couldn't pick up on (I don't trust myself with that).[/spoiler]


EDIT #1
Ditto and Yang are ruled out. Ditto could be made without faceclaiming as it's a replacable character (there's more than one Ditto out there), meaning that I can consider him as an NPC Prime for Sabrina. Possibly, I'm not entirely certain. And Yang, I decided is a little too reliant on her team (Ruby, Weiss) for proper functioning and I already transferred too much to Sabrina (moves) to not feel like I have two very similar characters.

I want to sincerely thank Sarah/Weiss, Ash/Kung and Spur for their help - I really appreciate that and your support, guys.

EDIT #2
Iskander has to go too. The things he offers don't make up for the errors he has and the other characters on the list are just better fits for me. Tough choice, though.

To the stormtroopers, scouts, and primes watching the nexus, it had been a quiet day. The fountain’s serene waters had been peaceful, water flowing from top to bottom in a gentle, repetitive pace, the ever-changing shape of the fountain had taken on a Greek-inspired aesthetic as the water dribbled from the top of what looked like an ancient stone pillar. Transparent, pure water streamed from the edges of the pillar's top and into the basin below, creating a flowing, see-through curtain.


The first signs that something had changed were within the water itself. the formerly clear, pleasant fluid began to grow viscous and muddy. The gentle flow from the top of the pillar began to sputter bursts of mud and filth as the top of the pillar warped and bent.
Into the shape of a sickly eye.


The constant, soft sound of the dribbling water was replaced by a squelching, sucking sound as purple, viscous slime replaced the water of the fountain, the statue widening and shifting as four spiked pillars of ribbed stone grew in four corners at the edge of the fountain basin. The air itself seemed to reflect the change, and the oxygen in the nexus was tainted with the smell of rot, sickness, and death as the Fountain in the middle grew to the size of a large house, stone tendrils and growths dotting it’s figure, covered in the disgusting substance that had once been the pure water of the fountain


None in the nexus knew the true significance of this image, the eldritch abomination that the Fountain had come to represent, covered in the writhing, purple carpet of living slime, but the shiver that ran through their spines showed that their bodies recognized the threat, even if their conscious minds did not.

And as a small, green, hideous form spread it’s bladed wings within the middle of the nexus, and sickly black lips spread into the form of a broad smile, those standing within the nexus knew that this hideous transformation had served one purpose.
To herald the arrival of a prime.

Quote:Quest time! The quest done is "Gala Date" (spoilered below for easy access, as I'm lazy) and word count will be recorded at the bottom of every post!

Note: Sabrina has done the "There are no lines" quest and is thus affiliated with the Empire faction.

[spoiler]

Gala Date
 
Location: Costa del Sol
Requirements: Must not be affiliated with The Kingdom, Cinnabar Island, Pokémon Liberation Front, or the Rebels; Must have done any Empire-Imperial Navy faction quest or have Recognition in Coruscant or the Vasty Deep
Difficulty:  Moderate (5,000 to 10,000 words, dependent on quality)
Reward: 300 OM + Vi’s Corsage (Flavor Item) + Instant celebrity in Costa del Sol
 
Vi, the Enforcer of Costa del Sol, has to deal with a lot of nonsense in her daily affairs.  Unlike her counterpart in Coruscant, she does still like to try and enjoy the more colorful things in life.
 
Once a month, there’s a large gala held in Costa del Sol to celebrate the city’s continuing success and wealth.  Vi is always present and almost always drunk, but she always gets slightly embarrassed when the event turns into a lot of dancing.  You see, she never learned how to dance amidst her otherwise awesome life.  The fact that she hates to remove her hextech gauntlets doesn’t make things any easier.
 
You’re a respected individual within the Empire.  You hear through the grapevine that the strongest individual in Costa del Sol isn’t quite so nimble on her feet.  Perhaps you can lend a hand?  Go meet Vi (if you haven’t already) and see if you can’t teach her a few dance moves.
 
Of course, you’ll have to see this through to the end, so you’ll have to be her dance partner at the Gala.
 
Quest Stipulations – Must go to Costa del Sol.  Must meet up with Vi and at some point, uncover her tragic lack of dance skills.  Must then teach her and be her dance partner at the upcoming Costa del Sol Gala (good luck).[/spoiler]
