Let's say that Jams was in the mood for a casual fight, nothing that could lead to death, but was still something he wanted to do IC for the fun of it.  Would he have to change the damage meter to ridiculously low levels, or turn it off?  Would it have to be a mock fight if he wants to avoid death on either side regardless of reaching 20+ damage (as if Jams were strong enough for THAT to happen)?

I'm just asking because Jams is the kind of guy who doesn't want to cause anyone the displeasure of dying and having to wait/miss 3 days respawning as well as having to come by Jams[' place] to grab their stuff afterward.  And also because learning through pre-written text is one of my least effective learning methods.

Character name: John Egbert

Character source: Homestuck

Character history:
This is the John who dies while crossing the Yellow Yard in the post-retcon timeline.

Physical Description:


Stats:
ATK: 3
DEF: 1
SPD: 4
TEC: 2

Starting Proficiencies (1600):
Ranged – 1000
Area Attack – 600

Starting Powers (3000):
Hive mind – 400
Dissasemble – 800
Flight – 1800

Starting Moves (300):

Windy Thing – 300 (Ranged, Area Attack)

John charges up for half a second, to then fire a small but powerfull gust of wind that pushes everything it passes through. The attack doesn't do damage by itself, but it can if the objective gets pushed to a wall, or if some object gets caught by the wind and hits something.

Depending on where John wants to aim, the attack will start 1m behind him relative to the direction of the attack, with an area of 2m in diameter and a travel speed of 120km/h. John is only controlling the wind behind him, so its power and speed decays right after he fires it, making the attack effective only around 6m from the starting position. Anywhere further than that wouldn't have enough power to lift objects anymore, even if the wind keeps traveling from this limit.

If hit from the starting point and up to 2m, the wind will push a person up to 1m before touching the ground. At 3m, the wind doesn't have the strengh to push a person anymore, but it will still make them lose balance and fall. At 6m, it can only push light objects (like empty boxes and plastic balls).

Where did you find us? I was already here


Total OM: 4900

Could someone help me with finding the NPC Approval thread. I'm having trouble finding the Link! Thank You to whomever helps!

Darkness had fallen over the realm. Within it, a group of travelers, all pulled from the same world, no, the same room of the world that would now only be known now as their long lost home, Earth.

Only after the the snarl of the monsters and the fall of one of their own, did they realize finally, that they would never see nor feel the comfort of their homes again. For once the truth became all too real, and the group comprised of ten people found themselves wondering, hoping, and praying at least to be saved from the darkness of the night. As if the fear of the unknown, and the deep encroaching feeling that this simple trepidation brings is one even more tremendous that of the very monsters dwelling within it. The evil monsters that had already slain one. The creatures that would not hesitate to kill again.

It was this night, in this place, that fear they had never known before, could be seen in their eyes. It was the fear of prey, prey that knew it was being hunted, and knew upon the skill of the slaughterer, that mere chance would not save them. They also knew that if they were not swift enough to evade, there would be a much more horrible fate to come than sudden death. There would be no safe return, there would be no more common conversation. Only screams and survival.

Quote:Intro Post for Sans complete! Next post goes to Red Hood.

They say one dies a second time when that person is forgotten. Here in the Omniverse, it is a prime's true death. Miranda had a job to fulfill and then she was nothing. She could only watch herself in silent horror as her body glowed and degenerated into a cloud of rainbow, crystalline dust. The fiery warmth of the Ashen Steppes grew cold with abandonment. Miranda had lost whatever favor she had with the white being known as Omni. Like trash her consciousness was stripped away from what seemed to be a body of omnilinium. She cursed herself, cursed Omni as her final moments dragged her into a dark oblivion.

 Right as her basic being slipped away, she found that she had not quite been cast away yet. In the pearly white realm of the Nexus, her body formed before her eyes. Her left, artificial eye flickered to life, shedding a dim crimson glow upon her regenerating form. From the "dust" this world was made of she returned completely in body, but not quite so in mind. The first word to whisper in her head was the name of the childish "God" Omni, who's name sparked resentment and seeping anger within her core. Digging deeper she found a name: Miranda Frost. Could it be her name or one that she knew before? It didn't matter. It was her name now. Her mind stabilised, though memories were stripped, wiped clean. This she didn't care about. Perhaps those memories weighed her down, kept her from seeing the truth, the truth that none of this was real.

 She was a fake, a proxy made of this white, rainbow colored dust known as Omnilinium. Perhaps this whole world was constructed by it behind the scenes. It was all a dollhouse for Omni's amusement.

 Behind the steel mask Miranda gritted her teeth and rose her mechanical, prosthetic arms before her, flexing the pumps that allowed them to emulate "Real" human arms. A  consciousness didn't mean she was naturally formed. Machines could be made to better suit the maker's needs. One with godlike power could emulate laws of nature, correct? Why not? Miranda stepped from the fountain of light she was reformed at, noticing something quite unfamiliar with her body. One might be expect to be born with the majority of one's body with flesh and blood, but Miranda felt as if her movements were hindered.

 Bringing a finger up to her cloaked chest she tapped it, feeling the rigidness of metal beneath her skin.  Ironic that one such as herself would consider herself artificial in an artificial world when she would have been a creation of some sort in a world more realistic. It was enough to give rise to a small chuckle,  a smile forming behind her magnetically sealed face mask.  

 Her dimly lit eye scanned the area, noting many others here. Curiously there were multiple armed men or women clad in white armor closing in on her position, firearm-like weapons at the ready. Despite the helmets  hiding their facial features from normal human view, her eye could see through them. They were cautious, perhaps even afraid. Seeing beyond them two more individuals were walking away to one of the many gates that lined the edge of this pure realm. Interesting.

 Ignoring the white clad nothings, she began to walk toward the gate the two others exited through. Why waste any more precious time pondering on which door to go through? Simplicity is a treasure. Not one step though and a pair of troopers blocked her path.
 Sighing she gently dismissed them with the wave of her hand. It was suggestive at first, but only because she didn't want to wear down the knuckles on her gloves with this pointless fight. "You are in my way. Not smart".

 "Ma'am. We implore you to come with us to Coruscant.", one of the two spoke up, his grip tightening  on his blaster. The others stood in place at the ready, maybe five of them. Miranda 

 Miranda sighed and crossed her arms, shaking her head. "I don't think you all heard me. Get out of my way and you will live. My mind is made up on where I want to travel. Do. Not. Trifle with me.", She growled pushing her way pass the pair. She expected them to fire on her, but they bothered her no more. Smart.
 
It was time to see what was behind this door.

Thor walked through the gate, fear flooding his mind once again as he and Mjolnir were held worlds apart. Then the moment was over. Thor sighed in relief as Red-Hood came Through the portal. 

"So Red-Hood where did this Nealaph say to meet him?"

Thor emerged from the Camelot/Nexus gate, feeling the usual rush from the momentary separation of himself from his hammer. It did not matter weather his Hammer was the first through the gate or if it was his person proper that took the step out of one verse and into another. The separation from his Hammer made him feel weak and vulnerable. He released a breath he had been unconsciously holding as his Hammer followed his arm through the portal. The Red-Hood did not take long to follow his Asgardian companion into the alabaster expanse of the Nexus. The former hero of Gotham turned toward the portal to the Ashen Steppes he noticed something was off. Thor was not following. Thor starred at the Tiny shapes of the primes as they dashed around each other near the fountain of rebirth. One combatant in particular stood out to him. Thor watched the multi-colored giant, radiating power with each vicious swing of his arm. The other primes seemed as insects, in need of swatting, when compared to this demonic god among gods. "At last!" Thor said loud enough for his companion to hear. "An enemy worthy of the God of Thunder!" Thor laughed. Perhaps an enemy as strong as this could make him forget for a moment the people of Midgard. Make him forget Jane, and Sif, and all the others he was leaving undefended by remaining trapped in this dream of glory. He took a step toward the battle.

"Don't, we have a dragon to slay and a God to kill. Let them deal with their own problems." Red said from behind him. 

Thor turned and began to walk toward the gate to the Ashen Steppes. 

"You are right, Thank you my friend."

Character name:  Warren Zimmer 

Character source:  NFL Rush Zone 

Character history: 

Originally Warren Zimmer loved spending time with his dad Richard Zimmer. However his dad was always too busy, working on experiments with the Core which was a powerful energy source from outerspace. This led to his dad creating the robot known as "Side Kick" to look after his son. Unfortunately,  Richard didn't count on the robot developing emotions similar to those of a human, including jealousy.  In a last ditch effort to bond with his father, Warren agreed to be part of an experiment that would lead to the creation of a group of individuals to guard the Mega Cores, and the Core from threats. Unfortunately, Sidekick who would later become known as Drop Kick sabotaged the experiment, killing Richard, and trapping Warren in a containment suit to survive.  Over the years, when R.Z 6.0 came online Warren grew angry, believing he had been replaced by the Guardians in his father's eyes. 


This led to him becoming the villain known as "Wild Card"  but in the end, he was defeated by the Guardian Ish who sacrificed his Guardian abilities in order to save all of his friends, and the world.  Locked up in a prison, Wild Card was later 'released' or rather broken out by the villainous alien known as Sudden Death who decided he'd use Warren and Drop Kick in order to steal all the Mega Cores of the planet.  Unfortunately, when Sudden Death turned Warren back into Wild Card he didn't count on how treacherous Warren Zimmer was.  Eventually Warren helped the Guardians defeat Sudden Death, but it was part of a plot to steal the energy of the core directly. It was thwarted, and the safe zone was completely obliterated. 

Enter the Omniverse:

Warren dozed off when working on a machine and was brought by Omni. Waking up, he's realized he's somewhere new and doesn't have anything or any of his resources presently.


Physical Description:  



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

Starting Proficiencies:

Physical Strength – 1000 OM (Example move) 

A unique proficiency, this allows characters to become proficient hand-to-hand combatants without purchasing any additional moves for normal punches, kicks, etcetera, the strength based on your ATK stat. It also allows for picking up heavy objects with your bare hands, strength dependent on your ATK stat. Once purchased, you may also purchase melee weapons such as swords, staves or whips as moves, or other advanced melee moves such as charged strikes. For the purposes of clarity, any move that reaches further than 12 feet away from yourself requires the Ranged proficiency. 

Ranged Proficiency – 1000 OM (Example move) 

Allows you to purchase moves which use projectiles or attack from range. For example guns, bows and long-range beam attacks. 


Starting Powers:

Super Speed – 1000 OM

Super Speed is a technique that allows you to move up to double your normal movement speed by sacrificing manoeuvrability and turning speed. It takes several seconds to build up speed from your normal top speed. The faster you go, the longer it takes to turn and slow down. At 150% of your normal top speed, you are still able to turn, but in a much wider turning arc. Finally, at double your normal top speed, you will only be able to run in a straight line. Super Speed can be used in conjunction with Flight to traverse distances much faster. 



Advanced Regeneration – 1800 OM (500 OM if replacing Basic Regeneration)

Advanced Regeneration allows you to regenerate more serious injuries to yourself such as bone fractures and even severed limbs. Don't expect to be able to do much mid-fight without spending SP, though, unless your DEF stat is extremely high (see above for rules on expending SP to heal damage). 

Starting Moves:

None yet.

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