[ Music ]

You awaken from a long sleep. It feels like you were always asleep,
really. You don't know where you are, or who you are for that matter.
You're wet and cold - fresh from a holding vat. There are others here.
Not all of the vats are open. Just the few of you, out of ten. Nine in
a circle, with one in the middle. There's an alarm going off, pounding
in your head. A garbled voice comes over the intercom, telling you all
that you need to escape, as fast as possible. It's a long way to the
roof, but your mystery benefactor is convinced you have the strength
and the skills to make it out alive. Time to find out.



☿ ♀ ⊕ ♂ ♃ ♄ ♅ ♆ ♇


You are a part of Project Helios, a supersoldier project carried out by the Neo Tylon Corporation involving genetic splicing with animals and/or cybernetic enhancements. You may show visible signs of this, and look like a monster, or you may be lucky, and still look like a human. It's not consistent. The only thing that seems to be consistent are numbers and symbols tattooed on your biceps. It's up to you to escape from Neo Tylon, and find out who and what you are. As for after that? ...let's cross that bridge if you get to it.

What is this?
This a Valor campaign, based on the Bloody Roar fighting games, with a bit of Kamen Rider sprinkled in. The player characters all start the game as amnesiacs, thanks to Project Helios' preliminary brainwashing. As such, your characters will not know that they are Zoanthropes, and won't be able to utilize their beast forms until they reach level 5 and unlock a transformation ult. (Unless, of course, you'd prefer to make a different ult at that point, that's up to you - however, the group will at least all learn at that point that they're Zoanthropes.)

What do I need to know?
-I'm not certain when exactly this will start, other than I want to wait until Kingdom Valor ends, so rough estimate is maybe late 2021?
-Sessions will run roughly three hours, done via Roll20. There will be a discord server for OOC stuff. Weekday and time are very to be determined. Ideally I'd want to make it Fridays to replace KV, but who knows what the fuck will be going on in the world at that time.
-I'm welcome to Valor newbies! I'm looking for four to five players.

Character guidelines:
PCs are experiments made with the intention of being powerful enough to stand up to entire military units on their own, and have had their genes spliced with those of animals (singular or multiple, player choice), and possibly enhanced with cybernetic upgrades. While these changes may alter the PCs' size, they are still humanoid in shape. The setting is primarily a near-future sci-fi with a handful of fantasy/supernatural bits - similar to Resident Evil and Metal Gear. Until their actual names are learned, PCs will only be known by their project codenames ICly, which I'll be assigning - these codenames will be the corresponding names to the symbols they're tattooed with. (Helios, Mercury, Venus, Terra, Mars, etc.)

If you think this is neat, but won't be able to play, I'm open to also having some folks in the server to discuss plotting and plans with in a locked channel! (Especially since this will be my first time DMing, ahah.)

v-squad 3D: [cool subtitle pending]

-90s first-person shooter genre, as a valor campaign; but the protagonists are more akin to modern hero shooter characters thanks to the mechanics of valor. (this would replace weird weapons/powerups for the most part, since gear isn't really officially a Thing in valor, yet.)

-shoot the monsters, say the dumb one-liners, get the valor

-seasons are episodes, perhaps a one-off test season labeled as the shareware version??

-20 "stages" in that each is a map that has a start and an exit, experience is fixed. once you clear stage 1, everyone starts stage 2 at level 2, and so on, to somewhat simulate building up of gear over the course of a game. the ideal would be for stages to last 1 to 3 sessions.

-obviously need more story than the average game in the genre. want to have it be fun, silly, and not deep; but engaging enough that this isn't a dungeon crawler.

-gotta figure out how to balance the genre gameplay loop of "find keycards, unlock doors" with valor mechanics to not be a total slog. thinking the big setpiece battle rooms to be akin to doom 2016's "can't leave until you clear the fight" monster arenas.

-monster closets as a mechanic to possibly serve as a bit of filler in case a stage goes too fast?

-maybe allow players to do 1-2 personalized techs to start, give templates for basic melee/pistol at beginning, maybe also give templates later on for techs that would be different weapons? allow customization after receiving, but will need the necessary tech points to add the weapon to their loadout.

-allow personal techs over time also, fluff it as either science or magic bullshit depending on how plot shakes out
oneminutetvdinner: (Well that's different)
[personal profile] oneminutetvdinner
So. Pretty bog-standard mission - got a package that needs to pass through Bunker Hill, and get to High Rise. Not a rush job, though, so there's time to scope out the area and get a feel for how many raiders are in the area, and see if there will be any need for a heavy.

The short answer? Is yes.

The long answer, is that the area just south of Bunker Hill is thick with the psychopaths. Despite her best efforts, Celine soon finds herself running for dear life from a hail of bullets and firebombs. In fact, it seems like they're going off almost everywhere, and there's not really a safe-sounding area to retreat into. She really doesn't want to go north, there's no telling how many might follow her into Bunker Hill and cause shit for the traders there.

So for now, she darts through a couple of alleyways, and then rolls through an open window to take momentary cover in an old store. She finally pulls her pistol and loads it amid heavy, but stifled breathing when she realizes she's not alone - and for a moment, she turns her gun on the other person.

Except, they look just as frazzled as she feels. And they're dressed differently than a raider. And have a pip-boy? Jesus fuck, did some vault dweller get lost out here? Crimony. She lowers her gun, then shakes her head. "Well, I don't know who you are, but you look like a reasonable person who doesn't decorate their house with corpses, so nice to meet you. Hope we both live through it."

...but I want feedback on what would be most interesting to people. And only paid accounts can make polls, so pardon the RP account - this is [profile] wingus/[tumblr.com profile] callmewingus.

Option 1 - High Fantasy Origin Story
This would follow Maratris Belloth, my current Pathfinder character, through her origin as a cult's experimental trial run at birthing half-devils for the sake of furthering their cause and eventually coming to leave the cult. It would include some cutaways to her current time and interacting with the party she's in.

Option 2 - Sci-Fi Character Tension
This would follow Leo Scorpio, a cyborg bounty hunter and one of my oldest, but least-defined characters. It would involve his complicated and tense relationship with a friend, Kai - a human-alien hybrid and their mutual body image issues amid a one-off adventure.

Option 3 - Modern Fantasy Hero Romance
This would follow two unnamed characters I have who are super great at being girlfriends, but aren't so good at being a superhero team. Mostly comedy, some light drama, intentions for cute fluff are high.

So based on that, have a vote as to what you want to see.

This poll is anonymous.

It's early Sarenith. For better or worse, Grigori has been dealt with properly, even if Maratris doesn't quite agree with how it was handled. However, she's got better things to worry about right now. The cat was going on somehow about making fire "sharper", and that reminded her she needed to pester Juniper.

So here she is, knocking on the door of the city mage tower, not entirely sure what she's doing, but doing it anyway.

AKA, I really friggin' miss [community profile] trans_9 as a setting and want to do stuff with it retroactively. To recap some stuff I remember...

Lina was involved with the magic-users, and was ultimately going to roll with heavy artillery groups that were being rounded up last I recall. Got her ass kicked in an offworld tournament. Dumped water on Edward Elric's head, got in a fight with a flirty Jaeger, and sassed a huge-ass red dragon within an hour of waking up.

Veronica was with tech-heads, and I think she wound up being the head of R&D? There was also some kind of thing that was being done with a bunch of busted Securitrons from her world, but I'll be damned if I can remember what it was exactly. Maybe repairing them for self-defense/combat usage for the ship as a whole?

Shoutarou was a security grunt, and continued running his detective agency, even if there wasn't much private detective work to be done on a spaceship. Spent a lot of time moping around over Philip and did a lot of patrolling to pass the time. Kind of had a thing sprouting up with a certain fire mage. Became a magical girl once. Mistook an explanation of how Greeed worked to assume Ankh stole someone's nipples. Punched out a dragon, a Brainiac, and adopted an alien cat by accident. (Thanks a lot, Cazali.)

Simon was on the council shortly before game-end. Was part of the mech squadron, got to be a green lantern once, and hung out with the Susanoo Inn folks. Generally served as a motivator for a lot of folks. Was forever awkward around Starfire because her voice sounded a lot like Nia's. Helped Allenby take care of Howard and Zouichi's pets after they were gone.

Ginia was...there for about five minutes to awkward at the whole situation and then the game closed. Whoops. Intended for her to provide weapons and armor for the more medieval fantasy inclined characters, and have awkward moments with the dragons.

When some people start seeing data ghosts, they freak out and hunt up detectives to figure out what's going on.

Brainstorm is not one of those people.

He's working on a weapon to get rid of the data ghost, because he is totally a level-headed and mature individual who handles his problems like a reasonable person. A reasonable person who is muttering bitterly to himself as he tweaks parts and welds here and there, and now he needs another tool so time to look in the box--

Oh.

There's that...glow. Faint, but it's there.

Brainstorm clumsily grabs a spanner, then hurls it in the direction of the glow, and shouts entirely too loudly - "GO AWAY, GHOST OF REWIND!"

Samus Aran often has trouble sleeping. Usually it has to do with nightmares, brought on by having the weight of the universe on her shoulders thanks to her charge from the Chozo to be the universe's protector.

Tonight, though, it is simply due to the weight of one person on her shoulder, and idle awkward thoughts of wondering just how she got in this position. Not that she doesn't enjoy Zelda's company, but getting caught up in this much emotional attachment is usually outside her M.O. Granted, it's not like she can just up and leave. Her gunship's in ruins, and she's found a lot to do on this planet.

And... On her rougher nights, having someone nearby to hold onto is pretty nice. Of course, she's not the only one who has issues sleeping...

-Target Information
Name: Haruto Souma
Age: Unknown
Race: Human
Location: Japan, Earth

Target is a wielder of significant occult power, based around a hosted creature known as a "Phantom". Phantoms are known to consume their host when their host experiences significant despair - most of which have been dispatched by Souma over the past year. If Souma was to ever fall victim to his phantom, the results would likely be catastrophic.

Capture using any means possible. Lethal force is authorized, but only as a last resort.

This totally dangerous guy is chilling in an open air dining area, not too far from some food carts. With a bag of donuts. He does kind of stand out a little with the gargantuan hand-symbol ring on his right hand that matches the strange hand-symbol belt he's wearing, but otherwise, he looks pretty normal and harmless.

The area's slightly busy - people wandering around, eating, hanging out and generally enjoying the totally nice and uneventful day.

IT'S A JOLLY GOOD DAY TO TAKE SOME SAMPLES OF A HIDEOUSLY DANGEROUS AND RADIOACTIVE SUBSTANCE, WOT WOT.

And doing it in restricted space that Cybertronians aren't supposed to be in. Whoops. If Ultra Magnus finds out, he's dead. (Deader than he already is, not that he knows about that right now.) But who's gonna catch onto him? He was sneaky, he used his holomatter avatar and everything! As far as any irritable organics know, he's just a really tacky fighter ship possibly on a recon mission. Or something. Organics do recon, too, right?

He probably should have obscured his Autobot emblem, though. Or, like. Covered himself in attention-deflectors.

Or not went out at all, that would also be good.

The first mistake was Roll asking Bomb Man to help assemble something. He's not terrible at building things, really, it's just that he's better at demolitions and he gets impatient because construction takes a lot more work and effort and you can't just light a fuse and BAM, something springs into existence.

At least not yet...

So in his attempt to try and help build a simple yet sturdy booth/table for a bake sale Roll wanted to hold, Bomb Man got bored, tried to rush it, and after they went to set it up...well. There's a pile of parts and some damaged baked goods.
