Journey Through the Multiverse [Reboot]

[Psyga315]

Hm... Accepted.

[Tachi]

Just want to make one last change to Rachel. I'd like to give her the Kangaroo Medal, mainly so she's not completely useless until someone teaches her how to fight.

[The Big Bean]

Name: Bernard Griffith
Age: 19
Sex: Male
Appearance: "This is the best picture of me I had. It's for a project, a school project, I swear!"
Power/Tech: The Scarab, also known as Khaji Da, a genetically engineered weapon created by the Reach that connects to a living being and controls them. However, Khaji Da has been floating around in space and has been attacked by meteorites and other creatures so much, that he has not only lost the link to his database, but also to most of his powers. As he recovers, and as his new host's ability improves, he'll get more abilities. For now, he grants Bernard the following abilities:

• Symbiotic Snaptic Interface: as the Scarab is connected to Bernard, the
  two can share their thoughts and emotions. Bernard can hear the Khaji Da
  as a voice on his head, since it also possesses an Artificial
  Intelligence that can sometimes take control of his body, although
  Bernard can easily override that.
• Scarab Sight: with the Scarab's Artificial Intelligence, he can do many
  things. He can track anything that produces energy, be it biological,
  technological or mystical, for at least seventy miles. The Scarab can
  also scan people Bernard encounters, informing him of major physical
  conditions and any abnormal signs, like mystical powers.
• Clothing Manifestation and Concealment: it can create clothes
  from recycled waste for Bernard (which melt when he takes it off), and
  it can also shut off cameras and microphones (as long as they're from
  the 21st century).
• Blue Beetle Armor: superhuman strength, superhuman agility, flight (through wing shields and jet propulsion), environmental protection (allowing him to survive in dangerous places and dangerous conditions), armor reconfiguration (like giving him weapons- an energy cannon, sword and shield- tools- a grappling hook, claws), partial armor manifestation (allowing Bernard to use one part of the suit without manifesting the whole suit), some minor energy manipulation (energy blasts)  and universal translation are the things this magnificient creature can do.
• Future powers include more options to armor reconfiguration, more powerful control over energy, energy bubbles and some minor antagonist adaptation.

All these powers don't mean Bernard are invincible: in fact, the armor isn't strong enough to protect him against various kinds of damage. Apart from that, the armor is also extremely weak to magic (the Scarab can't analyse certain mystical creatures) and magnetic shields. Other weaknessses include a truce with nature (the Scarab will not hurt nature or any creatures that come from it) and the fact that the Khaji Da, while sentient, can be a bit hard to control, especially when it misinterprets other people's actions. Also, if anyone manages to get their hands on Reach Tech, they might find out how to use Bernard's power against him and his friends.

Faction: The good guys.
World of Origin: Earth
Personality: Bernard is, according to his classmates, the nerd, the one nobody talks to, the geek who probably doesn't know anything about the real world... except Bernard is nothing like that. True, he was born surrounded by TV and movies. He quotes the, he geeks over them, he uses them in metaphors... but that doesn't mean he spends his life inside a basement. In fact, he's very kind, friendly and intelligent, knowing when to make jokes and when to get serious. But if there's one thing Bernard doesn't know how to deal with, its things that are bigger than him. When it's something simple, like fixing a bug in a computer, Bernard will easily do it with the most calm expression in his face. When it comes to more complex things, like dealing with the fact he's now the fourth Blue Beetle, he'll often stumble around, get lost, and cause accidents while trying to figure out what is he supposed to do when that red light goes off. But, really, he's just trying to be as helpful as he can be. Just a warning: fame will get to his head, and may cause him to lose control of his ego and his pride.
Bio: A child of television only goes so far, they say. Well, Bernard is a child of television, yes, but he's also a child of groups talking about television, comic books and more. Ever since he was a little kid, he'd visit his friend's houses and go into long discussions about things parents thought they shouldn't be talking about, like roleplaying games. While he and his buddies lived their lives having fun together, others decided they would waste their time pointing at them and shouting words like "nerds" and "losers". Bernard never let those words get to him, because he knew tha as long as he did what was right, he would be the one having a good life, and those popular kids would be struggling in a world where everyone isn't dedicated to making them feel good. Life was fine. That is, until one day, Bernard found a peculiar Scarab...

[Psyga315]

Hm.... Meh. Accepted. We're just starting out.

[The Big Bean]

Is there something wrong with the sheet? I can nerf him.

[Psyga315]

No... Nothing comes to mind.

[Krautman]

The Sheet

• Name: John Shirkwood
  
• Age: 20
  
• Sex: Male
  
• Appearance:
  
• Power/Tech: Wizard Rings and the WizarDriver. Wizard Rings, right now, include Defend (creates a shield varying on the form he's using), Driver On (sticks on the belt), Dress Up (puts the wearer in clothes appropriate to the setting or their desire), Kick Strike (a kicking finisher), Engage (allows him to enter the mindscape of someone in despair and fight their inner demons), Small (lets him shrink), Bind (creates bindings depending on form to hold the enemy), Copy (creates a duplicate of himself with all rings, this consumes a lot of power), Fall (opens a hole in the ground under an enemy), Smell (emits a foul smell from the ring), Big (lets him increase the size of a body part), Psychokinesis (Allows him to move objects remotely), Drill (lets him spin very quickly, effects vary on form), and Light (creates a flash of blinding light that lingers and dispels shadows in an area). He's also keeping the Giant Phantom under control, and can summon it using the GiantRise ring.
  
• Faction: That third one.
  
• World of Origin: World of Lilim
  
• Personality: Had someone said "Take this belt, these awesome rings, and go beat up evil monsters" he would have jumped at the call. Granted, he'd probably ask to be paid for the use of his image, but that would just be to pay the bills. He's a man of moderate intelligence and has a patchwork knowledge of many subjects, mostly involving biology, computers, and physics, although nothing too specialized. Ever since finding out he's now a Kamen Rider, he feels cheated because he didn't get the red muffler.
  
• Bio: Same as last time, with a heaping helping of depression brought on by a crazed grandmother he's muscled through just to rub it in life's face.

HAIL, I HAVE RETURNED AND I BRING CHARACTERS

Name: Parchment

Age: Unspecified, physically around 17 or so.

Sex: Male in appearance, though he lacks primary sexual characteristics.

Appearance: "It's only natural, isn't it? To want to live in the world of my dreams..." Don't worry, he doesn't actually have a rose stuck in him, though the hole does exist. When actually clothed, he tends to stick with a worn white t-shirt and a pair of loose jeans. There is a ring of copperplate letters written around his left wrist.


Power/Tech:

Homunculus/Human Doll: As a soulless shell created by an alchemist's art, Parchment is completely hollow on the inside. He lacks any internal organs, and his 'body' is made of magically enhanced clay, though it feels more like porcelain to the touch. Joints are obvious on his limbs and neck, and though his eyes are remarkably lifelike, they have a distinctly vacant quality to them that further marks him as abnormal. Otherwise, he is capable of imitating a human almost perfectly, save several little tics that he has failed to get rid of. He needs no sustenance or air to live, being completely sustained by magic and thus unaging.

There are two large cracks in his abdomen, one in his right breast and the other slightly above his navel, to the left. Though they cause no discomfort to him, he is aware of them as weak spots, and guards them accordingly.

Inhuman Durability/Regeneration: Despite being made of clay, Parchment's body is remarkably durable, a result of the enchantment woven through it by his creator. He can withstand bullets and even grenades without a scratch, and though he is only slightly stronger than your average human, he is incapable of fatigue. Even when damaged, he can reassimilate the fractured clay into his shell, repairing himself. This takes a considerable amount of time, however, and he cannot produce any more clay than what is already in his body; the cause of the two holes. Complete disintegration or shattering will kill him, though. He is also immensely vulnerable to attacks that can disrupt the alchemy holding him together, i.e. anti-magic and the like.

Paper Mastery (stolen wholesale from Yomiko Readman of Read or Die): Interestingly enough, Parchment's other ability is non-magical. Because of his near-perfect simulation of a human brain, he is capable of achieving his creator's goal - that of establishing an extrasensory relationship with inorganic objects. Parchment, in particular, can connect with paper in all its forms, allowing him to control it telekinetically in an astounding number of ways. Even without touching it, he can cause it to become hard enough to block bullets, stick to objects, or create an impossibly sharp blade. Though not at the level of his AU (manga) source, Yomiko Readman, who can create entire buildings and perfectly natural disguises out of paper, he still possesses an immense amount of control over it, and will only increase his talent in the future. There are two weaknesses to his ability - firstly, he cannot control soggy paper, and secondly, he cannot negate the flammability of paper. However, he makes up for these weaknesses by having a lot of paper.


Faction: (Eventual) Brotherhood

World of Origin: AU Lilim, with Gothicness and ALCHEMY

Personality: Though he sometimes comes off as a bit odd, Parchment is generally okay enough to be around. He is preoccupied with finding his own purpose in life, and what it means to be human - this seemingly perpetual dreaminess manifests itself as a powerful, subdued curiosity. Having recently come to Lilim, he is observing people in the hopes of discovering emotions for the first time. Being a homunculus, he has a precise, detached form of speech and fights primarily in the interests of self-preservation, though he has been developing a strange habit of protecting others lately. As expected, he is clueless about modern appliances, though interested enough in their workings. He is currently trying to find himself a name.

Bio: Created by the greatest alchemist of his world, the great Doctor Celestae, Parchment was an experiment in reaching the pinnacle of alchemy, the mind beyond the human mind. Celestae aimed to connect with the material in a way that bypassed magic completely - however, all his experiments had failed beforehand, and all his trials had gone insane. With that in mind, he set about creating a perfect human, succeeding in doing so after several months of trial and error. Parchment was named, given brief instruction on his purpose and abilities while still taking form, and then finally touched up on the fine details - however, due to fatigue and a brief slip of the chisel, he accidentally broke a hole in the homunculus' abdomen. Unwilling to waste any more clay on this marred specimen, Celestae smashed a hole in his right breast in a fit of temper, before disabling his motor functions and shoving him in the depths of his basement, to start again with a new batch.

How he got to present-day Lilim is another story completely.

She's accepted.

[Rain]

Name	Myrisstra Teken't'tar'ghym (It actually has a meaning, hilariously: Lost Acolyte, Delvers in the Forgotten Ways of Victory. Well, strictly: Lost Acolyte, Delvers in Victory Forgotten Ways).
Age	118, another 6900-7900 years of life to go... hell, who needs proper immortality? No-one survives that long, anyway.
Sex	Female
Appearance	Delicious drow navel.
Power/Tech	For note: though the ability descriptions are from D&D mechanics, and she's a swordsage, it's not following exactly. Bookkeeping is too much work... so just assume she has all second-level maneuvers and stances from the indicated schools, and the associated skills (Bluff, Sense Motive, Profession (Gardene). Drow! Due to her upbringing, none of the web paths, drow renegade. SLA's at will because they're not THAT useful (Darkness also can't be seen through even with visibility in the dark). So: can make dancing lights, outline people in pretty fire, area where stuff's darker, some resistance to magic that improves as she gets stronger. Doesn't sleep, because elf. Can torment people by asking them to say her name. Swordsage! Basically, D&D monks are ALL ABOUT kung fu. These are pretty much the same, only with swords. Gets snazzy quasi-magical abilities with them. Ancient Temple discipline. Bread and butter of her techniques. Slash people with swords that can cut ghosts. Do gardening. Live ten times longer. Doesn't have the 'back from the dead' feat yet. Derived from Youmu Konpaku. Does have swordbeams and ranged attack reflection, I think. Dream Battle. Exorcisms, teleportation, and making people friendlier by beating the crap out of them. The reason she carries needles and an infinite supply of ofuda. Effectively has all of the feats. Good defensively. Based on Reimu. Flowering Night. At her current level, pretty much just moving about and tossing things at people. Later starts fucking with time in small ways, culminating in ZA WARUDO. Other skills, mostly involving mobility: Balance, Climb, Jump, Tumble, Move Silently, and Hide. Effectively, so long as it's on dry land, she can be upright and across it (and she's also good at gymnastics etc.). She can also sneak around provided people take their eyes off of her and there's actually shadows to lurk in. Note that this implies she's quite intelligent, due to the way D&D skills work. Her actual social ability and toughness suffer as a consequence.
Faction	Who knows?
World of Origin	Unnamed D&D World.
Personality	When she's not training, Myrisstra is laid back, even in the middle of a fight. This does not, however, help with her social skills: drow are not looked upon fondly, and her own voice makes her generally desire to not talk (communicating? Sure! She's not shy or anything... she just hates talking) due to a combination of two factors: first, she simply cannot rid herself of a stupid lilting quality that makes it sound like she wants to start singing, despite knowing no songs... and secondly a lisp. She pretty much universally introduces herself as 'Myr' rather than trying to make people get it right.
Bio	Myrisstra was trained in basic swordplay from the moment she could actually hold a sword. Then she was shipped off to serve a ghost and her gardeners for the next half a century, though the other apprentices and even some of her teachers looked upon her with suspicion, despite her family's doing this for generations. Having completed her basic training, she then went on a training journey to learn some more styles... before being abducted from a cave, leaving the loot she'd just found behind. It even contained some magic stuff she'd wanted identified. Since she was resting at the time...

[Psyga315]

The first three powers are good, but the fourth power has me a little eh. Especially with the Za Warudo thing. Still, 3 outta four, that's probably good, so I accept so long as the fucking with time is not that much of a game breaker.

[Rain]

Well, they don't get timestop until ECL 18, they're currently ECL 4. From what I can see, most of the timescrew abilities currently hurt them, or just count down the timer on buff/DoT effects on enemies, until near the end. Most notable confusion I can note is 'go back in time six seconds'.

Oh, and even The World causes her to take damage from messing with timeflow. It's not QUITE Sakuya's time mastery.

[Psyga315]

Well, I guess it will be acceptable.

• Name: James Maxwell
  
• Age: 19
  
• Sex: Male
  
• Appearance: Stands about 5 foot, 11 inches in height with fair skin, short almost jet black hair and dark brown eyes with an about average physique. Commonly wears darker clothing, in particular black sweatpants, grey shoes and socks, deep blue short-sleeved shirt with a black and grey hoodie over it.
  
• Power/Tech: Gekiryuken, a device housing the spirit of an ancient warrior, stays on his wrist much of the time, but transforms into a sword for combat and to allow James to transform into Ryukendo, that same sword can also have keys inserted to summon other weapons and powers. As Ryukendo, he is much stronger and resilient to damage than normal humans. His sword able to cut through most materials with ease. He also has various powers he can unleash through the use of the Madan Keys, these include:
  
  • Ryuken Key: Transforms James into Ryukendo.
  • Final Key: Used to unleash a finishing attack.
  • Knuckle Key: Summons the Madan Knuckle.
  • Leon Key: Used to summon Brave Leon.
  
  However, as Ryukendo gains experience and grows stronger he will be able to access other keys that unlock even greater power, these include Elemental Modes, Dagger attachment, and even the Juuoh(Spirit Beasts).
  
• Faction: None, Neutral for now.
  
• World of Origin: Earth, otherwise known as World Of Lilim.
  
• Personality: Comes off as a bit quiet and distant at first but is actually a kind-hearted and friendly individual with a strong sense of morals and standards. He refuses to stand by and let people suffer
  needlessly..something that while respectable, does get him into trouble here and there. He can be very intelligent but his quiet nature keeps it from showing at times. Sometimes takes on more than he can handle though.
  
• Bio: James is not one who likes to talk about his past much, what he does like to talk about is anything relating to anime, Tokusatsu, and video games, as such he is something of an otaku... or fanboy. His life, while not great by any means, was not horrible either... though he always wished for something more... to go beyond the norm and do the extraordinary...
  
  However, during the start of his college years, he got his wish. It started one night when a report of strange meteors raining all over the world came on... and one such meteor landed right outside his door... only it wasn't a meteor... it was something far more unexpected and incredible..
  
  With this change, what will he do? What will come of his life now?
  

[Psyga315]

Pretty good. Accepted.
