The Coliseum
A GPaW Production
Story by Blue Nova

Introduction:
The crowd grows restless with anticipation, waiting for what is to be the spectacle of a lifetime. Thousands from all around the multiverse converge to see their world’s greatest fighters clash against each other. Guilds, Corporations, and Armies submit their greatest fighters into the Arena for glory and rewards. The main two factions are The G.P.A.W. Alliance and the army known as The Legion, both fighting for the legendary prize. The God of Battle holds this arena once every 50 years, and so far the Legion has won the last two tournaments, gaining powerful items to help in their conquest. Currently the grand prize is a mysterious device known only as the Artifact. The God of Battle seeks to reward the winner with this device, in exchange for witnessing bloody fights from all around the multiverse.

Details:
This is a battle arena where people may choose from a list of game characters and pit them up against each other in one on one combat. This is a story from the GPaW Threads, which means things that happen in the arena will be broadcasted IC to the other threads. This tournament is supposed to be critical moment in the war, as the reward could start to turn the tides to the Protagonists favor. However, should they fail, the device will add the ever growing onslaught of the Legion.
This is taking place in the Mortal Kombat universe. Though it takes place in the Nether Realm, the surrounding area has been remade in the god's image. He has warped the Nether into his own playground and changed many laws of magic and physics.
Healing magic seems to be nullified, though it not really the magic, but the injuries that have changed. Any injury suffered in this world will not heal at their normal rates, they heal only with time. Even the most advanced healing technology has been rendered useless.
Their will be a two stories going on simultaneously. One Thread will take place in The Arena, where fighters are submitted to intense brutality and carnage. Then there is the thread that takes place behind the scenes of the fights. This thread will consist of conspiracies and intrigue, focusing more on the mysteries of the story, and making sure that victory is not stolen by an outside force.

You may choose from any Video Game, though this tournament is meant for combat heavy characters.

If you have any game in mind, and are unsure if it's allowed, feel free to PM me and ask me if its alright.

Spectators:
Among all the fighting that is going on, there are bound to be fighters wanting to watch them too. This is open to any participants who survived or have yet to fight, as well as any member from the GPaW Threads. This thread is for those who are watching the fights, or doing things in the background.

Win Conditions:
When entering a battle, it is assumed it will be to the death. However, the choice is up to the participants. Obviously the winner of the fight would be the one deciding. If a Legion member wins, this will almost always result in a kill. However, there have been rare cases where neither side could finish each other and the battle ended in the judge’s decision, because both characters were too exhausted to continue. However, should a Protagonist win and choose to spare the Legion member’s life, this may result in a potential storyline later.
There are 5 conditions you can leave the arena under.
Slain – You died in the fight with your opponent, this can happen.
Broken – You are so injured from your fight you are no longer able to participant in anymore battles. This is usually when the fighter is spared his life, or the winner just barely won by the skin of his teeth.
Wounded – This is when the character won, but was injured in the fight. The character may have to sit out for a fight or two to heal his wounds. (There is an Injury track that gives details on the severity)
Flawless Victory – Your character took no significant damage, you have thoroughly impressed me and the judges with your scores and cleverness.

Injury Track

Remember, the more Stamina you have, the more resistant to damage you are. For these fights I am using 6 levels of Injury. I have also given examples next to the Condition.
Minor – Bruises and Scratches
Light – Hairline fractures,First degree burns, small cuts
Moderate – Bone fractures, second degree burns, deep lacerations
Severe – Broken ribs, third degree burns, stab wounds
Critical – Shattered bones, impaling, missing hand
Broken – Missing limbs, loss of senses, organ destruction
(If the Character dies, their condition will listed as Slain).

Team Fights:
There are several fights that take place with teams. Allowing  bigger factions to enter many fighters all at once. Teams fights are usual a group of 2-5 people at a time. Often this division starts with 5 on 5 for the first round. Then a 4 on 4 fight, and so on until the choose their champion in the last 1 on 1 fight. Strategy is very important, as throwing out your most powerful character right away could prove detrimental if they get heavily injured.

[Mac84]

Ooo, Very interesting. Isaac may find himself in the ring. :D

[Lustful Bride]

Megan will be in the background, helping the others out however she can.

[King Serperior]

This is really tempting me to return to the game, but not as Jak and Daxter, rather their counterparts:  Ratchet and Clank.  These two have had extensive area combat experience in both 1v1 and 1v2+ battles.  There have even been nonstop 100 rounds of chaos against wave after wave of enemies and these two have just the weapons and armor to take on most foes.

Of course!  As well as Morph-O-Ray action and Suck Cannon destruction.  Heck, even the Mega-Turret Glove will be destructive!  Plus Holo-Shields and the all-feared Glove of Doom!

Ryu

Current Occupation: None

Home World Information: Typical modern century, with a likeness to our own. Though the individual's are enhanced with superhuman qualities depending on various background. The World of Street Fighter is centered around martial arts, even incorporating technology, science, and government around fighting philosophy.


Appearance/Style Description:
Ryu's most recognizable attire consists of a white karate gi with the sleeves torn off, medium length hair, a long red headband, a black martial arts belt and bare feet. In many of his appearances, Ryu carries around a large, white duffel bag containing items important to his travels, such as clothing, plane tickets, passports, and local currency.
     
Personality:
Ryu is usually a silent, humble, and serious individual. He wanders the globe with the goal of complete mastery of his martial art, and takes both travels and training very seriously. Though he does not seek the role of a hero, he possesses a similarly strong sense of justice as well. Due both to this "wandering warrior" persona and being raised far away from modern-day culture, Ryu often appears boring or detached to others. Deep down, he is a kind and good-hearted person who, on rare occasions, shows a sense of humor. He also respects others with skills equal to his own.

There is, however, a dark side to Ryu: His drive to improve himself, no matter the difficulty, risks developing into a drive to win and to be the best at any cost. This darker drive is fed by (and in turn feeds) the Satsui no Hado within him, an influence which Ryu must constantly fight to suppress . In times when his inner darkness threatens to overcome him, Ryu relies on his friends and rivals to keep him grounded and snap him out of it.

Ryu is somewhat friendly; while still very quiet and reserved, but is willing to greet people with a smile and some kind advice, very much like his master Gouken.

History:
As a very young child, Ryu was orphaned and left with no memories about his parents, and whether they were still alive. He was found and adopted by a man named Gouken who raised Ryu in his secluded dojo and trained Ryu in the ways of his martial arts. Shortly afterwards, Gouken would later train his best friend's spoiled son, Ken Masters. Ken served not only as a sparring partner, but also gave Ryu a friend in the form of a boy his own age. Ryu looked up to Gouken as a father figure, and regards Ken as his best friend and surrogate brother, a relationship which remains to this day. When Ryu was 23 years old, Gouken believed that Ryu was ready to travel the world in order to test and hone his martial skills against the best fighters from around the world. With this, Ryu left Gouken's dojo, and headed to fight in the World Warrior tournament.

Througout most of the street fighter saga, Ryu has gained vast experience versus many different styles and individuals. Fighting most of the world's greatest contenders he has met and suffered upon the various challenges that comes with dynamics of the world. Ryu has found many foes and has summarily had his own troubles, such as acquiring the Satsui no Hado from his inner dark self and M. Bison's brainwashing. Though with the help of his friends and allies, Ryu has been able to keep his inner dark self held back with discipline and utilizing his Power of Nothingness, quelling his murderous urges.

Current Situation:
When Ryu's home world became lost to the legion, Ryu simply moved on. Now finding that there were other worlds to develop his martial arts on. His ever burning desire to improve himself bringing him to G.P.A.W. Were Ryu is sure to find great challenges and obstacles to bring him closer to his goal. 

Weapon: His Ansatsuken or "Assasin's fist" fighting style is his trademark martial art, which originally designed as a means to kill, Ryu's personal take on the art being based on Karate, judo, kempo and not killing people. Most notably his trademark attacks include:

Shoryuken-"Rising Dragon Fist":  A great uppercut that can demolish foes, easily being one of Ryu's greatest physical attacks. The Shoryuken is primarily used as an anti-air move. However, with some practice, it is possible to use it to counterattack almost any move. The trade-off for this is that the user is completely vulnerable to attack as they fall back to the ground, and for a split second after landing. If the Shoryuken connects with the opponent at the deepest point of impact (i.e. while the user is still standing on the ground), it will inflict substantially more damage.
Hadoken-"Wave Motion Fist":  The basic type of Hadoken is a surging punch in which a fighter's willpower is utilized to focus energy into and through the palms. As the palms are thrust outwards towards the target, a surging energy wave is expelled that results in a punching force traveling through the air in the opponent's direction.
Tatsumaki Senpukyaku-"Tornado Whirlwind Leg":  A combination of centrifugal force and kicking, this move can hit the person up to 3 times in a row and also avoid ground attacks.
Joudan Sokutoger-"High-Level Leg Blade Kick"i:  The attack is a simple, yet strong, forward-stepping side kick. If it hits, the opponent is sent flying. Typically used at the end of attacks as it is easy to dodge or parry.



Stats -

Strength - 2
Agility - 2
Stamina - 2
Power - 2
Reputation -0

Special Powers:
Satsui no Hado-"Surge of Murderous Intent": This is a form of ki based around man's evil nature. Greatly increasing the speed, power, and ferocity of it's user which grants the most fatal Ansatsuken technique:

The raging demon

Very powerful, but fatally dangerous technique taught in the original principles of Ansatsuken by Goutetsu. When performed, the user of the Satsui no Hado would rage out of control, turning them into a bloodthirsty berserker that rampages until their opponent's death, and even their own if the user's body is not prepared.

As this move usually defeats the opponent instantly or kills them, the basis of the attack is said to be linked to karmic forces drawn from the influence of the Satsui no Hado, channeling an infernal punishment in which the weight of sins and evil the victim has committed destroys their soul. While immensely powerful, this attack cannot work on artificial life forms or people who lack souls, and it is often through the latter method that some characters have survived its wrath.

Also it gives Ryu the ability to phase through attacks similar to Akuma. Ryu does not consciously use this power, but it can have an addictive quality, making it harder to turn away from it. In appearance, Ryu's hair turns red, eyes glow white, and teeth to sharpen.

If he can resist the temptation of this evil power then Ryu reaches an alternate state of conciousness which also boosts his speed, power, and reflexes. The power being named:

The Power of Nothingness: Only obtained through detaching himself through all emotion. More focused than the Satsui no Hado, it's appearance is similar to states found in Buddism (for example Avater form). It brings hyper-awareness of the universe to the user, Boosts one's strength, speed, and clarity of thought, causes eyes to glow blue-white, and can be used to withstand the Raging demon. This power grants Ryu complete control over his mind and body.


Strengths:
His main strength is his intense focus that he has in fighting situations. He can channel the inter willpower that is Ki, which can instill different properties to their user depending on intent. Through Ryu's experience he has attained great wisdom through his travels and uses it to provide support through most of his decisions.

Weaknesses:
Though he may have great wisdom, he's not very smart. Ryu does not have intelligence and can fall short of understanding situations or technology.
Ryu is constantly at war with the temptation of the Satsui no Hado and this can alter the flow of his combat ability, leaving him prone to weakness in short moments. He does this to ensure that he does not kill his opponents, or else the Satsui no Hado influences him and takes over his personality.

"Blue Mary" Ryan

Current Occupation
Private Investigator - New York City isn't so very different from South Town in some ways.  It's a big urban area, host to a wide assortment of people with problems they can't handle for themselves, and no small amount of violence and crime lurking in the dark corners waiting for the unwary.  So, Mary picked up where she left off, becoming a licensed and bonded Private Investigator for New York and going into business for herself.  It wasn't easy, of course, her instincts were honed in a world where massive criminal conspiracies are the norm, and she'd lost her contacts, but ultimately it wasn't much different than any other detective hanging their sign out in a new city.

Home World Information
King of Fighters - Outwardly, Mary's world greatly resembles the real one.  The level of technology is much the same for the average man on the street, globalization proceeds apace, and urbanization continues in developed nations even as the march of history leaves blights of decay forgotten in it's wake.  It is, however, a much more spiritually active world.  Ancient gods stir, scrolls the detail the route to immortality exist, and those who dedicate themselves to the pursuit of martial combat develop abilities that are superhuman in scope.  The cutting edge of technology borders into the realm of the supernatural, with flying stealth fortresses, genetic manipulation, orbital death lasers, and cloning all established but in the hands of shadowy conspiracies.  The opportunity to see these champions of martial talent in action draws massive crowds of excited onlookers, and tournaments are frequently held where the backstage strife is even more intense that what happens before the viewing public, but no Kumite is better known than the King of Fighters tournament, which hosts talents from across the globe...and which has determined the fate of the world more than once.

Perhaps, in that context, it's not so surprising that Shao Khan, the conqueror of Outworld set his sights upon the world.  So much like his coveted Earth Realm, but without the protection of the Elder Gods or the structure of Mortal Kombat.  Once the inter-game invasions began, the armies of Outworld flooded into the world, dragons, giants, and worse crushing the world's mundane resistance.  Though Shao Khan's forces rule the world at large, there are a number of hold-outs in places that had a particularly strong martial tradition.

Chief among these is South Town, sometimes called "Second South" after the reconstruction efforts that followed NESTS's devastating orbital strike on the city in 2000.  Kain R. Heinlein had already schemed to have the coastal city declare independence from the United States after the King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem tournament (after reclaiming legal rights to the venue's title as Geese's brother-in-law from the Bernstein family), the invasion of Outworld only provided an opportunity to do so while the government was busy with more pressing matters.

The King of Fighters world has crossed over with other settings before (indeed, it was originally comprised from several game lines that ostensibly took place in the same world), so it has some familiarity with game hopping.  Though Kain himself insists on maintaining South Town's independence from the G.P.A.W. and Alliance, there are those who've elected to fight the war on wider grounds than their own back yard, including the mercenary Ikari Warriors.

Appearance / Style Description
Blue Mary stands 5'6" with vivid blue eyes and blonde hair kept in a bob cut which she periodically has to brush out of her face.  Her physique is lean but well-sculpted, giving the appearance of power without weighing her down or diminishing the flexibility required of a dedicated grappler like her.  Mary tends to dress briefly, favoring a red croptop to fight in, as well as baggy blue fighting pants with a circle and star imprint on the right leg, strapped leather shoes, a loose brown leather belt, and fingerless gloves rounding out the outfit.  Though she doesn't fight in it much these days, it's rare to see her without the keepsake of her departed lover, a green leather riding jacket with racing stripes and the number eight emblazoned on the back.

Personality
Mary is the sort of woman who's friendly towards everyone she meets.  She has a great deal of energy and tends to express herself physically, gesturing when she speaks, or pushing and pulling on people she's on particularly good terms with.  Mary is the sort who enjoys causing a ruckus, and prefers to surround herself with others who have a wild streak.

Though it may be difficult to believe now, they once called Mary "The Woman Who Never Smiles".  She's experienced the pain of loss, violence having claimed both her father and the love of her life.  Time and good friends have helped her come a long way in healing those wounds, but she has a protective streak when it comes to her friends.  She's also hesitant to fully open herself up to anyone, as evidenced by her long running off-again-on-again relationship with Terry Bogard.

Mary takes a great deal of pride in her professional reputation.  She plays hard, but anyone those who knows her knows that she always puts work first.  Some suspect that it's just another way to keep a comfortable distance between herself and others.

History
Blue Mary remembers the months leading up to the invasion of Outworld rather well.  She was on a strange case, investigating an increase of anti-establishment criminal activity taking place along the southern United States.  The perpetrators were secretive for sure, and seemed to have an in depth knowledge of police proceedure, but Blue Mary hadn't gotten her reputation by giving up easily.  When she caught wind of Kain Heinlein entertaining some new heavy hitters intent on supporting his scheme for South Town's secession from the United States, that was her first encounter with Kabal's resurrected Black Dragon Clan.  She had the sense that things were about to become interesting in South Town once again ... but she couldn't have known how right she was.

The invasion from Outworld was largely unprecedented.  Oh, Mary had been involved in fights against superhuman demigods before, but Outworld's warriors seemed to pour out with sadistic variety and endless numbers.  Such a large scale invasion, appearing out of nowhere caught the whole world by surprise, and for all her talent, Mary was no soldier.  The fighting spilled into the streets, and she fought alongside Andrew Rian's special SWAT team to maintain the rule of law as best they were able.  Ultimately, however, it was apparent that even if South Town held out, the world as they knew it was doomed.

Mary settled into New York City, figuring that she could at least make herself easy to find in case any of her old friends ended up in the Real World.  Years have passed in relative quiet ... but Mary knows it won't last forever.  If nothing else, there are rumors that the shadow of Geese Howard has emerged from the underworld to terrorize men once again ... and if that's true, it's only a matter of time before the long awaited reckoning between father and son comes to pass.  It might've been necessary to establish a life, but Mary can't shake the feeling she's sat on the sidelines long enough.

Current Situation
Though she had to take a pay cut to compete with New York's more established P.I.'s, Mary's done pretty well for herself after the invasion of her gamerealm.  She has a mid-range apartment on the border of the little corner of the city the game refugees claimed for themselves, and she's managed to get her hands on a new Harley to replace the one she lost during the chaos of Outworld's invasion, even if she had to half rebuild it herself.  One could say she's an example of successful integration into the real world.

Of course, that doesn't explain why she spends so many nights down at the club that Juri bounces for.  Part of it, of course, is that hanging out with her fellow refugees helps her feel a little less alone in the face of what's happening.  Part of it is also that the music and the drink do a passable job of distracting her from the fact that she's lost it all again.  The key reason, of course, is that she's bored.

New York's "tough guys" would barely even have registered in the public conscious of South Town, and with her inhuman recouperation abilities she can't even compete in a formal environment without blowing her cover.  The club is a convenient place for her to meet with representatives from the G.P.A.W. when they need a little discrete intelligence gathered to help their worthy cause ... and the fact that it puts her in the kind of situations that really get her blood pumping again is just a bonus.

Weapon
Blue Mary's weapon of choice remains her own fists.  She practices a form of martial arts that she calls "Commando SAMBO" which was taught to her by a secret serviceman (and her deceased lover) Butch.  Commando SAMBO is an agile grappling form of unarmed combat that combines unchambered kicks and combination attacks with a variety of joint-locks and submission moves.  Mary herself tends to shoot in close on a target with a diving kick before transitioning cleanly into the chain hold and going directly to break the limb, though the resiliency of videogame characters makes this more painful than debilitating.

Though her fists are surely formidable, Mary's reputation doesn't always precede her.  When she's on a case, Mary carries a 9mm automatic pistol and stungun.  They're primarily tools of intimidation, though Mary is practiced in their use.

Special Powers
Ignore Weight - A combination of technique and internal ki manipulation, Blue Mary can throw her targets regardless of their weight.  To date, her most impressive target remains the giant Chang Koehan, weighing in at 675 lbs, however she's looking forward to matching Sabin's effort and suplexing the Doom Train at some point.

Ki Control - Blue Mary is no stranger to ki manipulation.  Though she hasn't incorperated them into her regular kicks and grapples since '97, when she uses her Super Moves it becomes apparent that she merely prefers to internalize this energy and express it explosively as needed.  Her preferred manifestations are moving quickly enough to leave shadowy afterimages, circling contrails of cutting force following sweeps of her open palms, and an impact that looks much like a bursting rose blossom.

Strengths
Detective Skills - Mary has a talent for investigation and long years of experience to back it up.  Though her forte is in deep background checks, she's also skilled at crime scene investigation and interrogation.  Until Batman shows up, Mary's one of the best intelligence gathering tools the G.P.A.W. has access to, at least until they find a reliable way to get Phoenix Wright in and out of hostile territory.

Motorcyclist - Mary has long been associated with her Harley Davidson motorcycle, and is a skilled driver when she has the occassion to show it off.  Easily good enough to survive the mean streets of Liberty City or Steel Port.

Team Player - The King of Fighters has been a team event since the Bernsteins took control of the licensing.  Mary has participated eight times, however she's changed teams regularly, and twice now she's teamed with a pair of murderous criminals who'd have been just as happy to have her dead.  Suffice it to say, Mary's used to adapting her fighting style to work in tandem with others' strengths, and can feel out a new team mates style relatively quickly.

Singer - Not the kind of skill that comes up often in her line of work, but Blue Mary is a skilled if amateur singer in her own right.  Though she prefers rock and ballads, she was better known around South Town for a haunting blues number she'd performed at a club.

Weaknesses
Blue Mary's Blues - Mary's got a melancholy streak to her.  She usually does a pretty good job of covering it up, throwing herself into her work, enjoying the night life, or just lavishing attention on her dog Anton.  That said, when the lights go out and the night is quiet, Mary's got a tendency to turn self-reflective and somber.  There are more than a few creatures out in the Gameverse that can tap into or feed off of those hidden self-doubts.

EX Blue Mary - One of Blue Mary's particular hang ups is that she feels that, with her cheerful nature, people don't take her seriously.  When those insecurities rear their head, Mary's normally suppressed sadistic impulses become more pronounced, reveling in the control her articulated grapples give her over an opponent almost as much as the feeling of bone and cartilage giving away.  When in this state, Mary isn't above fighting dirty and using hidden weapons such as her Stun Gun either.

Alcoholic - Though she prefers a fairly upscale kind of establishment, the fact remains that if you want to find Mary during her down time, odds are good you'll find her near a bar.  Whether she's drowning her sorrows or indulging in a little social lubricant, she's spent enough time in bars to be named after a cocktail.

Dante (Work In Progress)

Current Occupation: Devil Hunter/Bounty Hunter
Home World Information: Devil May Cry/D.m.C

Personality: Dante is arrogant and sure of his abilities. However behind that arrogance is a much more compassionate soul than most ever see. As much as Dante claims he doesn't give a damn he does though it's hard to tell sometimes. He loves to talk smack to the bad guys and piss them off and he has a deep rooted enjoyment of showing off. When it comes time to throw down and get serious however Dante can put aside a lot of bullshit and get things done. He has absolutely no problems thriving in difficult or outright impossible odds and honestly he wouldn't want it any other way. He loves his job, he loves his strawberry sundaes and he loves his pizza and cherry coke. Hates it when someone wrecks his establishment and when someone talks more than he does. Because the real world is similar to his own minus the demons and such, Dante has been able to adapt considerably well to life outside the gaming world.

History: (After Lammy Lamb's Backstory...) Dante wound up in a kind of purgatory after someone claiming to be Dante banished him into a twisted world of the modern era in an attempt to take his place amongst the protagonists. However the exceptions were that Dante in this world was called Nephilim, offspring of Demons and Angels and that someone who claimed to be Mundus, the king of demons was running this universe with an iron fist. Worse still was that Dante was mistaken for his impostor and repetitively dragged into a warped dimension called Limbo. The whole journey kind of sucked for him sure but if anyone was going to restrain him in such a crappy dimension, they had another thing coming… He went with the game's story gathering both angel and demonic weapons and a new way to circumvent obstacles and dealing a bloody nose to that incarnations version of Mundus and Vergil. Once the game was finished he sought his way out of that purgatory by literally driving all the way through Limbo and into Hell itself.

Current Situation: Currently World Jumping and En Route to the Tournament...

Weapons and Equipment: The Devil Arms - These weapons are a multitude of demonic weapons Dante has acquired over a vast career of his life. Each weapon is awesome in its own regard and each weapon has it's own unique style and strengths. Much like Dante, each is of a different demonic aspect, each is a strong demon's soul materialized as a weapon, with each bringing it's own powers and style to make Dante all the more dangerous. There are so many different devil arms that going through them all would be a chore in of itself. Also thanks to his adventures in a more "crappy version of his universe" he has gained a number of angelic weapons and an amazing grappling hook allowing him to latch onto both enemies and terrain and pull himself across or pull enemies towards him.

Devil Arms: Rebellion, Arbiter, Alastor, Ifrit, Cerberus, Agni and Rudra, Beowulf, Gilgamesh, Lucifer

Angel Arms: Osiris, Aquila

Arsenal of Firearms - Outside of the supernatural Dante relies on a ton of modern era weapons and some specifically customized to take advantage of the Devil Hunters incredible strength and dish out the punishment to his most common enemies. Ebony and Ivory are dual customized pistols meant to bring the pain to any devil or demon foolish enough to get in their path… or anyone else for that matter. Then there's the Coyote-A, a sawn off shotgun with a masters degree in stopping power and another of Dante's staples. A Grenade Launcher with tremendous punch and a most volatile disposition in the hands of the Devil Hunter. Artemis is a firearm from the demon world that fires off arrows of demonic energy and rains down from the sky for a zoning effect. Kablooey is a firearm of demonic origins that shoots explosive needles, up to a maximum of six, into an opponent which have to be remotely detonated and the damage is dependent upon how many darts have detonated upon a target. However the ultimate firearm at his disposal is Pandora.

Pandora - Pandora is a briefcase initially but is able to transform itself into a 666 kinds of weapons, each one getting stronger the more the disaster gauge is built up. Dante only used seven different forms. Initially Dante can use a bow-gun, bazooka, a laser cannon, and a gatling gun with Pandora but as the disaster gauge fills up it can transform into boomerang which seeks out a target slicing it into ribbons depleting the disaster gauge as it is used, a mobile missile battery which fires off homing missiles, which depletes the disaster gauge by half or Dante can momentarily open Pandora's box to unleash the Omen to damage all enemies with a flash of a violated taboo which depletes the disaster gauge completely.

Firearms: Ebony and Ivory, Coyote-A, Grenade Launcher, Artemis, Kablooey, Pandora

Special Powers:

Demonic Durability & Regeneration - Dante's otherworldly origins have yielded astounding abilities to take punishment. He has been shot in the head, electrocuted by supernatural lightning, has been impaled on numerous occasions, yet can resume the fight has if nothing happened. Furthermore Dante has shown to be able to no sell a number of these attacks without so much as flinching. Coupled with an insane healing factor in which he has literally pushed himself through a sword starting prone and off and recovered from it and Dante is one tough son of a bitch to put permanently down.

Hyper Moves - From his cameo in Marvel vs Capcom Three, Dante has managed to acquire some badass skills and is one of the most complex characters in that game just from how many moves he's got. His combos are extensive and versatile, but the most important thing he acquired from it was a Hyper Gauge. He's kept it with him and through his menagerie of combos he brings serious pain to anyone wanting to get in his way. The Devils Never Cry but Dante's Never Done... First there is the Level 1, Million Dollars, where Ebony and Ivory go out on a night at the casino ready to deliver and collect a jackpot to anyone Dante has in his sights, which is a good setup for crossover combos and has extensive long range. Second is the Level 3 Devil Must Die, a mid range onslaught of empowered stinger strikes using Rebellion punctuated by a full on impale so powerful it launches the victim straight off the sword.

Devil Trigger - Dante can increase his abilities further within Devil Trigger, a mode specifically born from is heritage and awakened from being impaled by his own brother Vergil. This brings the full strength of the demonic heritage within the Devil Hunter as Dante's speed, strength, powers, durability and regeneration all increase in this state and whilst at best it can only last a short while, it is an eternity of hell for Dante's opponents. His weapons are empowered and his devil arms (depending on what he is currently using) also add to his strengths.

Strengths:

Smoking Sick Styles - Dante has the skills to match his incredible arsenal and supernatural endowments in the form of several unique fighting styles, granting him much more versatility. Gunslinger allows him to do more damage with his guns and make use of a multitude of other tricks as well as sustain his combo and hyper meter. Speaking of tricks, Trickster allows him to become a lot more maneuverable, allowing him to air hike, wall hike, air dash, double and triple jump and pull off sweet dodging better than normally permitted. Swordmaster augments Dante's close quarter weapons allowing him to build his combos and hyper meter up much more faster and as a result bring much more flair and bite to his attacks. Royal Guard is perhaps one of the strongest styles but also the most difficult to make use of as it allows Dante to build up a "Rage Meter". This fills up faster depending how well timed Dante's blocking is, perfect blocks allow him to negate the damage dealt to him from an attack and greatly fill up the meter. When unleashing this pent up rage can cause intense damage to the next opponent he blocks, and should he perform a critical block the damage is increased exponentially. A high risk, high reward style at it's finest.

Weaknesses:

Arrogant Bastard - Dante has no shortage of ego and as such he tends to be extremely rude to opponents. He has a sharp tongue and where cooler heads would prevail, Dante will often provoke someone to the point they might attack them. He has been shot in the head once  Secondly this can lead to his own allies butting heads with him and has in the past caused Dante to be tricked by someone with ill intentions. Arkham did this to both Dante, Vergil and Lady in the past and when he first encountered Lammy he initially thought she was a demon and nearly made the mistake of killing the poor girl. If Dante knows a fight will be tough however expect the gloves to come off.

Depowered - Because of the antagonist and because of his rebooted doppelgänger, Dante does not have every single devil arm at his disposal and has lost a good amount of his powers as a result. Since every Devil Arm makes him stronger in various ways and improves upon him, this dramatically limits Dante's full potential. He will have to reclaim his Devil Arms if he wishes to regain his full potential.

Ratchet and Clank

Current Occupation: Mechanic/Inventor/Pilot (Ratchet);  Computer Programer/Hacker (Clank)

Home World Information: Although Veldin is not Ratchet's or Clank's native planet, it is the one that they live on and call their home.  Veldin was a desert planet with a vast rocky terrain. It only had a few large bodies of water. Only one moon has been seen orbiting Veldin. It also had quite a few high tech buildings built into the features. Because of the heat of an arid desert planet, all the buildings are made of light metals and color. This would resist heat far better than a dark brown color and heavy protective metals. The main species of the planet is unknown as it is the planet that anyone can go live on, but it hosted a relatively small population. It was large enough that it became an important target for Dr. Nefarious.

Appearance/Style Description:  Ratchet is 5 feet tall (152 cm) and weighs 97.5 lbs. (44.3 kg.).  As a Lombax, he is covered in a short fur that is yellow with light brown stripes.  He obviously has a tail and has green eyes.  Clank, on the other hand, is just over two feet tall and normally has green eyes, but they can turn blue or red depending on the circumstances.  Ratchet usually wears various forms of armor, but he wears just a pair of pants when not in battle.
     
Personality: Ratchet is a street-wise, wrench-swinging guy who always liked to get into an adventure without really thinking about the risks or odds. He made many sarcastic comments or jokes and sometimes doesn't take things personally, but over time, Ratchet has matured and become more serious. He enjoyed swinging down Zip-lines and using his Swingshot.  Ratchet, like many Lombaxes, is also known to have invented some items, some were more successful than others. These items included Stunderwear, for example.  Ratchet is also fearless, able to take on any enemy with almost no signs of fear.  However, Ratchet usually doesn't strategize and charges into battle before thinking things through.

Clank, on the other hand, often acts as Ratchet's voice of reason against Ratchet's brash personality. He is quite knowledgeable in a variety of subjects, which he never hesitats to show.

History:

History leads up to Deadlocked as that is how far I have played

Birth of a Hero:

Ratchet was born and for a time lived on Fastoon in the Polaris galaxy, but was later sent to the Solana galaxy by his father due to Tachyon's attack on the Lombaxes.  As Ratchet was brought up on Veldin and managed to secure a garage as his living place, he dreamed of exploring the galaxy and looked up to the Solana Galaxy's greatest heroes at the time; Captain Qwark, whose adventures Ratchet followed through the radio, and Ace Hardlight before his disappearance.  Eventually, Ratchet began constructing a ship out of scrap metal which was held together by gum and rubber bands, hoping to use it to explore the galaxy sometime in the future.

Before the beginning of his first adventure, Ratchet was finishing the construction of his ship. Dreaming of wild adventures in the galaxy, the Lombax was quite disappointed when HelpDesk informed him that he would need a robotic ignition system to start his ship. However, Ratchet noticed a ship falling from the sky which crash-landed onto the Kyzil Plateau, and upon exploration of the debris, found an unconscious Clank. The diminutive robot showed (after startling the Lombax by suddenly waking up) Ratchet an Infobot video of Chairman Drek's plans of destroying the planet Novalis to make a new planet for his species, the Blarg. Clank helped Ratchet start his ship in return for a trip to Novalis, where the little robot began looking for the hero Captain Qwark, in order to stop Drek's plans. Ratchet decided to go along for the adventure.

Ratchet's ship crashed on Novalis, but nobody really knew why. They got to talk to the planet's chairman in order to borrow his Courier Ship and obtained coordinates for the capital city of the planet Kerwan, Metropolis. After talking to the Plumber, they also received an Infobot of Skid McMarx and his agent being shot down over the planet Aridia.  Ratchet completed Captain Qwark's physical fitness course (with the help of Clank's Heli-Pack ) on Kerwan and should have won a Swingshot from Helga for his efforts, but after "disgracing" the course, she made them pay 1,000 bolts for it. After finding out from Big Al that Captain Qwark was no longer on Kerwan, Ratchet received an Infobot for planet Eudora.  The pair had several adventures together and generally got along well, until they met Captain Qwark at his base on Umbris. Ratchet felt that something wasn't quite right, but Clank was eager to trust the Captain. Qwark betrayed them and left them to be food for his pet Blargian Snagglebeast. After defeating the Snagglebeast, Ratchet became increasingly bitter and hostile towards Clank for leading him right into a trap, and obsessed with getting revenge on Qwark. After fighting Qwark in a Blarg fighter at the Gemlik Moonbase and seeing the devastation of a nearby planet at Drek's hands, Ratchet finally realized that Drek had to be stopped and made amends with Clank. Upon learning that Drek planned to move his new planet into the space now occupied by Veldin, which he planned to destroy with the Deplanetizer, he became determined to stop the greedy psychopath.

After fierce battles at Drek's starship fleet and on Veldin's surface, Ratchet sent the Chairman flying up to his newly created planet and destroyed it. Flaming chunks hitting the Deplanetizer's control pad knocked Ratchet and Clank off, and only Clank's quick thinking stopped them from hurtling down to the Plateau below. However, the servos in his arm were broken from supporting Ratchet's weight and they both fell. Once again, Clank saved Ratchet's life by using his Thruster-Pack upgrade (installed by Bob on Pokitaru) to break the Lombax's fall. Ratchet then started to walk on home (thinking Clank would follow) but Clank, disappointed, walks away thinking otherwise until Ratchet returned, stating that he needed to repair Clank's broken arm. Ratchet and Clank headed home much to Clank's delight.

The Protopet Crisis:

Ratchet and Clank were doing an interview with Behind the Hero, talking about what had happened after Drek was defeated. Ratchet said there were parades, press conferences, and even "fancy dress balls", while Clank mentioned a wiener roast at Al's. After that, Ratchet said, everything returned to normal. Suddenly, he and Clank were teleported to the Bogon Galaxy by Abercrombie Fizzwidget, the president of Megacorp. Ratchet was offered an opportunity to undergo training to become a Megacorp commando, while Clank was offered an apartment in Megapolis on planet Endako and a job as an accountant.

Two weeks later, Ratchet headed to planet Aranos to infiltrate a Flying Lab, and then attempted to retrieve a stolen Protopet, an experiment of Megacorp's, from an unknown thief. The thief evaded Ratchet persistently, capturing Clank from his apartment and holding him hostage. The two soon reunited when Ratchet repaired Clank after he had been electrocuted by the thief and Clank in turn, escaped through an air duct in order to help Ratchet escape from the locked room and eventually retrieved the experiment on planet Siberius. After meeting with Fizzwidget, and "accidentally" being ejected from the ship on planet Tabora, Ratchet and Clank met up with the Thief to learn about the true means of the experiment, also learning that the Thief is actually a female lombax known as Angela Cross. The two investigated the Testing Facility on planet Dobbo, and found more and more information, culminating into the true means on planet Todano, which the duo attempted to put a stop to in Silver City by talking with Fizzwidget. Ratchet then made the mistake of threatening a robotic copy of Fizzwidget with the Thugs-4-Less leader watching, who arrested and sent them to the Flying Lab ( which they had by then taken over). After they broke out of jail and freed Angela on planet Snivelak at the Thug Headquarters, Ratchet and Clank then investigated a Distribution Center and found out that Allgon City was undergoing a disaster, and may had lived up to its name at the hands of rampaging Protopets. As well as that, they headed to planet Grelbin to find Angela, who gave them the key to get into a Protopet Factory, in the heart of the Megacorp Headquarters on planet Yeedil.

Once there, they soon found out that the Fizzwidget they knew, was really Captain Qwark (the real one was put in a supply closet by Qwark). He accidentally mutated the real Protopet into a giant monster that soon after ate him. Ratchet defeated the Mutant Protopet, at which point it coughed up Qwark and Angela's Helix-o-Morph. She then used it to cure the Protopet of the Monsterpropanase in its system, later using it to cure all the Protopets in the galaxy.

Return of a New Enemy:

Ratchet hastily flew back to the Solana Galaxy to help defend Veldin, where he was mistaken for a Galactic Rangers sergeant and quickly pulled into the story. Captain Qwark often placed Ratchet in the more dangerous scenarios in his Q-Force plans, although Ratchet never received any credit. Most people who had never heard of the Lombax simply remembered him as Secret Agent Clank's chauffeur.

Ratchet was occasionally slandered by Qwark over the Starship Phoenix intercom, as Qwark told him he needed to change into his "green regulation  Q-Force tights" or he would write him up for a dress-code violation. For most of Captain Qwark's plans, Ratchet was the one made to do the hero work, while Qwark took all the credit for the missions, much to Ratchet's annoyance. Despite this, the Lombax felt grief and discomfort at Qwark's presumed death.

On planet Kerwan in Metropolis, Ratchet saw the Biobliterator for the first time and he quickly hid. At the same time he witnessed the transformation of a Tyhrranoid from an organic life form, into a robot. After freeing Clank from the clutches of Dr. Nefarious, who had replaced the robot with an evil, impostor clone named Klunk, Ratchet, Klunk and Captain Quark got in Nefarious' ship, The Leviathan. There they found Dr. Nefarious who initiated the auto-destruct sequence and Ratchet and Klunk managed to escape believing that Captain was dead, but he was in fact hiding in his hideout in the Thran Asteroid. Ratchet, Clank and Skrunch found the fraudulent superhero, where Ratchet dubbed him as 'pathetic' and 'a cowardly wuss'.

However, later on, Ratchet teamed up with Qwark despite his earlier statements, to defeat Nefarious and to destroy the Biobliterator. After that Nefarious and Lawrence ended up on an asteroid alone in space.

The Dread Zone:

Sometime after the incident with Nefarious, Vox News commentators Dallas and Juanita made many statements about Ratchet and his friends, including Clank and Sasha. During the events of the game, these continued. The Vox coverage of Ratchet was generally unfavourable and many of their reports were incorrect. Among the many stories covered by Vox News, one reported that that Ratchet and Sasha decided to no longer speak to each other, following a heated argument in which Ratchet admitted to voting against her father for a previous Presidential election, and that diverging career paths forced them to spend long hours apart. They were also referred to as "Sachet" by Vox News. Other stories covered included that Ratchet and the Starship Phoenix crew (Clank and Big Al) were plotting wrongdoing; that Ratchet was of a dangerous species and a threat to civilization; that he destroyed civic properties and that he participated in illegal Hoverbiking

Ratchet had been commended as the new captain of the Starship Phoenix, as Sasha had become the Mayor of Metropolis. Sometime, the Phoenix picked up a distress beacon from Quadrant J0713, an uncharted part of the Solana Galaxy thought to be devoid of any form of life. They travelled there at warp speed, however, it was actually a trap set up by DreadZone to capture him away from the Galactic Government's territory to avoid breaking their laws.

Ratchet was kidnapped by the Vox Empire, along with Clank and Big Al, as "Subject 209" while aboard the Starship Phoenix. All three were then fitted with Deadlock Collars, which with, at the press of a button, would explode, killing them in the process. Big Al managed to salvage two old combat bots, Merc and Green, to help Ratchet in his adventures as a forced contestant in DreadZone. Ratchet and the two bots then formed the complete Team Darkstar.

Later, Ratchet defeated Ace Hardlight, captain of the Exterminators, and afterward Gleeman Vox offered him the chance to become their new captain. Ratchet refused the offer, telling him that Vox was not just corrupt, but also stupid. In the final events of Deadlocked, despite Vox's attempts to kill the Lombax, Ratchet, Clank, and Big Al escaped DreadZone Station right before it exploded, killing Gleeman Vox.

Current Situation:  Defending three galaxies is tough, especially when strange, regenerating creatures that were found to be called 'Necromorphs' invaded.  Luckily, the numerous robots that made up a large portion of the galaxies cut the deaths some, but it was a thin thing.  Ratchet and Clank, needing to find the cause, built an experimental warp drive on their ship to find some answers.  Where it led them was so far from their world that they had no choice but to defend themselves against an attacking fleet of Sith forces before they could warp again, this time to an unknown location.  Somehow, they managed to destroy one of the fleet's ships and escape, jumping to a random set of coordinates......

Weapon:   Ratchet and Clank have numerous weapons and gadgets that he can use, leaving them with a wide range of offensive and defensive options.

List of all weapons Ratchet and Clank have (There's a LOT)

OmniWrench 8000:  The OmniWrench 8000 was a Gadgetron weapon (technically an item) used to repair things, turn bolt cranks, and attack enemies. It was also magnetized, enabling it to pick up bolts (money).
Bomb Glove:  The Bomb Glove was a weapon created by Gadgetron that enabled the user to throw a bomb at enemies from a short range. The bomb exploded when it had contact with an object, enemy or the ground.
Pyrocitor:  The Pyrocitor was a short-range flamethrower. It could shoot out short bursts of flames or long continuous ones. It was very useful for close-range combat with swarms of small enemies, such as sandsharks or anklebiters.
Blaster:  he Blaster  was an auto-targeting blaster manufactured by Gadgetron that used energy bolts as ammunition.  It was a great all-purpose weapon. Although its range was limited, its high rate of fire made it ideal for taking on tough enemies at close and medium ranges and the bolts ricocheted off surfaces.
Mine Glove:  The Mine Glove was a glove that threw hovering mines that would stay stationary until it detected an enemy. At that point it would home into them and blow up. Despite being rather slow, it is quite effective. It is also a unique weapon in that it is capable of launching many types of enemies high into the air upon blowing them up.  The mine glove, used in conjunction with the Taunter, could be very effective. Setting a few mines close to, but out of range of the enemies, then using the taunter would cause the mines to actively seek enemies at a longer distance.
Taunter:  The Taunter was a Gadgetron weapon used to emit jarring sounds in order to attract enemies. Enemies could then be lured into traps or destroyed by another weapon.
Rip You a New One (R.Y.N.O.) Original:  a devastatingly powerful auto-targeting missile launcher developed by the Blarg that was extremely rare and expensive. It fired nine individual missiles simultaneously, which immediately sought and destroyed various targets. It also had a high rate of fire, despite its size and caliber.
Walloper:  The Walloper was a Gadgetron-made weapon that resembled a large white punching glove.  it was three times as powerful as a normal strike of the OmniWrench, and created a temporary blue forcefield around the glove when it was used, protecting Ratchet from attacks. It was also a unique weapon in that it was capable of launching many types of enemies far away upon impact.
Visibomb Gun:  The Visibomb Gun was a teleguided missile-launcher that had the ability to see through the rocket's eye and allowed the user to control it. The weapon was generally used to pick off enemies at a distance, and although the user had to guide the missile themselves, they did not need to have a large amount of skill to use it successfully. Some individuals who could not handle close combat, could fly this throughout a world, and pick off almost every single threat without actually advancing throughout the world, since the Visibomb's rockets can do at least three times the damage of a Devastator rocket this meant they could stroll through with no trouble.  Also, approximately 50 seconds after launch, the Visibomb would run out of fuel and the signal would disappear suddenly.
Drone Device:  When activated, it released six hovering bots that protected the user from incoming attacks or enemies.  Once equipped, these bots would circle around Ratchet, and would take any damage from enemies he would have otherwise sustained.  If he got close to an enemy, one drone would home into the enemy and self-destruct, killing the enemy, or at least dealing large amounts of damage.
Tesla Claw:  t generated static electricity at the front and progressed through an electro - vortex in between the two ends of the claw, this allowed Ratchet to aim the beam. It was most effective against large numbers of small enemies, or a few stronger ones. The technology for the Tesla Claw was later used to develop the Clank Zapper.
Morph-O-Ray:  The Gadgetron Morph-O-Ray, also known as the Morph-o-ray or Morpharay, was Gadgetron's failed attempt to create a disintegration ray. Their failed result emanated a colorful ray that turned enemies into giant (~6ft tall) chickens. Larger enemies took longer to transform.  Chickens will explode violently when dealt enough damage by enemies.
Blitz Cannon:  The Blitz Cannon was a pump-action shotgun manufactured by Megacorp, being the upgraded form of the Blitz Gun. It had a wider blast radius, incorporated electricity into the attacks and its shrapnel launches were much more damaging.
Heavy Bouncer:  The Heavy Bouncer launched an even bigger bomb than its predecessor, which exploded into bombs about the same size as the normal Bouncer shots.
Multi-Star:  The Multi-Star was a weapon manufactured by Megacorp as an upgraded version of the Chopper. It shot out a blade that, upon hitting an enemy, would split into 2 blades that bounced around, ricocheting off other enemies and walls until they disappeared.
Mini-Nuke:  The Mini-Nuke was a powerful Megacorp-produced grenade launcher that released a miniature nuclear bomb when fired. The nuclear bomb created a miniature mushroom cloud when the bomb touched the surface of an object, causing heavy damage to any enemies nearby.  Ratchet and Clank are able to resist the negative radiation effects and are effectively immune to it.
Megarocket Cannon:  The Megarocket Cannon was an auto-targeting rocket launcher manufactured by Megacorp and was the upgraded version of the Minirocket Tube. It could be charged up to fire up to four rockets at a time, causing massive damage and devastation.
Megaturret Glove:  The Megaturret Glove was the upgraded version of the Miniturret Glove. It released more powerful turrets which shot out small rockets instead of bullets. When the turrets ran out of ammo or targets, they self-destructed, which does damage on a very small radius.  Also, when the turrets ran out of targets, they could teleport a short distance to more enemies.
Plasma Storm:  The Plasma Storm was an auto-targeting weapon manufactured by Megacorp as an upgrade to the Plasma Coil. This devastating weapon shot an orb of plasma energy, which zapped nearby enemies with tendrils of searing electricity. The plasma orbs could ricochet off surfaces several times before dissipating.  The Plasma Storm was very useful for clearing out areas of small or medium enemies, usually only requiring 1 or 2 shots. Its usefulness stemmed from the fact that it could kill hordes of enemies without actually touching them—the electrical tendrils made short work of any foe unlucky enough to be within the plasmatic orb's disproportionately-large reach. The orb itself was extremely powerful.
Vaporizer:  The Vaporizer was an upgraded version of the Pulse Rifle. A red sniper rifle with exploding bullets that could deal damage to enemies nearby the unfortunate vaporized target.
RYNO II:  The RYNO II, or Rip You a New One two was a massively powerful auto-targeting missile launcher manufactured by Gadgetron, as an update to the original RYNO.  Unlike the original RYNO, it fired out missiles at a much faster rate, but this speed came with a penalty: It only fired one missile at a time.
HK22 Gun:  The HK22 Gun was the upgraded version of the Seeker Gun. The HK22 Gun fired out three closed seeker barrels at once. The seekers flew slowly until they locked on to enemies, then opened up and homed in.
Black Sheepinator:  The Black Sheepinator was the upgraded version of the Sheepinator. It transformed enemies into black sheep that other enemies in the area would attempt to attack. However, when it was touched, the black sheep would explode and damage, if not kill, the enemy.
Tesla Barrier:  The Tesla Barrier was upgraded version of the Shield Charger, a protective weapon manufactured by Megacorp. It offered more protection than the Shield Charger both lasting longer after activation and also having a higher voltage electrostatic component, allowing arcs of electricity to shock nearby enemies. These shocks used the shield's power, depleting it more quickly.
Tankbot Glove:  The Tankbot Glove was an upgraded version of the regular Spiderbot glove because it launched a larger RC spider equipped with a turret on its back to shoot enemies with and a machine gun and a bomb thrower.  The Tankbot has a 30-second 'lifetime' before it detonates in a high-explosive manner.  If an enemy touches the Tankbot, it will automatically detonate.
Zodiac:  The Zodiac was an extremely powerful weapon created by Megacorp.  fired a charge of lightning that franticly decimated all enemies within range. However, the weapon had some depreciating downsides. It had four ammo slots and can only be fired from a standing position (The user cannot be moving to fire it).  It was useful against swarms of enemies, but it wasn't effective against bosses. If any single enemy moved out of Ratchet's line of vision, it would be unaffected.
Agents of Dread:  Agents of Dread were the upgrade to Gadgetron's Agents of Doom. When a canister was thrown four robots were deployed but, unlike the agents of doom, they carried a missile launcher and could fly using built in jetpacks. Once they ran out of ammo, they would land, run up to a nearby enemy, and detonate in a mini nuclear explosion in the form of a mushroom cloud, similar to the explosion of a Mini-Nuke.
Decimator:  he Decimator was the fifth and final upgrade to the Annihilator. When a missile came into contact with any enemy, including bosses, it exploded and released seven mini-missiles that damaged nearby enemies.
Multi-Disc Launcher:  The Multi-Disc Launcher was the upgrade to the Disc Blade Gun. When a shot was fired, it split into sixteen discs, which targeted and tracked nearby enemies until they disintegrated in a small and harmless explosion.  Very useful for clearing a room of enemies.
Infecto Bomb:  The Infecto Bomb, also known as Infecto-Bomb was gained after the Infector was upgraded to level 5. The weapon fired a massive globule, which exploded into 4-5 smaller globs that tracked enemies up to 5 seconds before exploding, hence the name "Infecto Bomb". Weaker enemies were destroyed, due to damage, before the infection occurred.  The globs allowed you to infect your enemies with a brainwashing serum, causing them to turn against each other. This worked via proprietary "nano-virus globules" which, when shot at an enemy, got into their bloodstream through the membrane, which was a mild cause of poisonous dementia. However, the effect was not permanent and it would eventually wear off.
Liquid Nitrogen Gun:  Liquid Nitrogen Gun was the upgraded version of the Lava Gun, that was apparently modified from the original Lava Gun by Slim Cognito. It fired a stream of liquid nitrogen that froze enemies on contact, and smashed them into little ice crystals. Larger enemies took longer to freeze.
Qwack-O-Blitzer:  The Qwack-O-Blitzer was one of the more unusual weapons in Ratchet's Arsenal. As the upgrade to the Qwack-O-Ray, the Qwack-O-Blitzer fired an energy beam which turned the first enemy it came into contact with into a flaming phoenix/duck combination, which followed Ratchet around and attacked enemies for a limited amount of time. However, only one of these birdlike creatures followed Ratchet at a time. When you used the Qwack-O-Blitzer while the bird was following you, the enemies turned to V4's ducks that laid egg bombs.
Rift Ripper:  The Rift Ripper was a powerful upgrade to the Rift Inducer. Black Holes launched from the Rift Ripper shot lightning bolts at enemies, damaging them.  The black holes could combine into a bigger one if more than one black hole was close to another.
RYNOCIRATOR:  Upon firing it, the destructive weapon sent multiple missiles ahead of the user, which converged into a single point and caused a flash of white light, instantly turning most enemies into ash while any enemy that touched the missiles would still be disintegrated.
Shock Cannon:  The Shock Cannon was the V5 upgrade to the Shock Blaster. If the user held the trigger and released it, a massive charged up energy beam was fired that severely damaged most small-medium enemies which costs 10 units of ammo.
Tempest:  The Tempest was the most useful upgrade to the Spitting Hydra. It could target up to seven enemies at once, and release a barrage of lightning bolts on a single opponents.
Vortex Cannon:  he Vortex Cannon was the fully upgraded version of the Suck Cannon. It could be obtained when the Suck Cannon reached Level 5. It spat out its contents as flaming comets that ignited any enemy they hit, and could also suck in crates, however, without releasing its contents.
Omni-shield Launcher:  The shields blocked bullets and some energy beams, as it could block melee attacks from regular enemies with the exclusion of bosses. Enemies who touched the shields would receive damage. This weapon could only release four shields at a time.
SuperNova:  The SuperNova was Vox Industries' powerful upgrade to The Harbinger. It caused many meteor-like strikes to rain down on the area in front of the user, wiping the said area clean of enemies and leaving craters in their wake.

Special Powers:
1).  Weapons:  Ratchet has a crapton of weaponry and gadgets.  Without them, he's stuck with just his wrench or whatever machinery he is behind the controls of,
2).  Giant Clank:  Arguably the two heroes' greatest weapon, Giant Clank is a device that turns Clank into his Ultra-Mech form.  In this form, Clank could shoot rockets from his arms, launch energy bombs, knock enemies out cold with one punch, and crush opponents under his huge weight. He was around 50 times taller while being giant (around 110 feet or 33.5 meters).  The ability to do this is restricted to once-per-day as the device requires a massively long recharge time.  Clank can stay in this form for up to 8 hours before he is forced to change back.  Clank can change back to his smaller form at will.
3).  Ammo Calldown:  If Ratchet is low on ammo, he can use his massive reserves of cash (saving galaxies does come with benefits) to instantly restock on all the ammo he needs.  If someone wants to use the calldown to refuel their supplies, they'll have to use their own money as calldowns have jacked up prices.  Literally, ammo costs 10x the normal price!

Strengths:
1).  Weapons:  If it can be used to destroy things, Ratchet and Clank will know how to use it extremely fast.
2).  Durable:  If a foe thinks they are down, then they aren't.  They have survived the explosions of planets, giant mecha, swarms of enemies trying to kill them, and deadly arena combat.
3).  Teamwork:  These two know the value of teamwork.  They can be followers or leaders when the situation calls for it.
4)/  Master Pilots:  If they can't fight, they can fly.  Between Ratchet's long experience as a pilot and Clank's hacking skills, they can turn any vehicle into a weapon or getaway vehicle.

Weaknesses:
1).  Reliant on weapons and gadgets:  Without his weapons and gadgets, Ratchet is not physically strong, nor is is super fast.  Sure he can lug a big gun around or throw a wrench into someone's face, but he really needs his guns!  Plus, Clank's only two feet tall when not in his giant form.



Okay, this is what I have so far.  I am still somewhat confused on the stat system, so I likely messed things up.  Blue, if you have any suggestions, that would be appreciated.  If anyone has comments or ideas to fix things up if there are issues, I would appreciate that.

Thanks!

Well done Serperior!

Well done Serperior!

Thanks!  I figured that, due to the number of defensive weapons that Ratchet and Clank have as well as Clank's ultra-mech form, that the lower stamina and Agility stats would be somewhat negated a little.  Plus, since I consider the Omni-Wrench to be a weapon under the special power, it's "basic" class could be ignored. 

My question is, relatively, how does each stat compare to actual events that may happen?  I mean, how does a rank 2 stamina compare to something that can happen ingame?

[scribus1000]

Do I need to play a specific antagonist, or am I free to choose?

Thanks!  I figured that, due to the number of defensive weapons that Ratchet and Clank have as well as Clank's ultra-mech form, that the lower stamina and Agility stats would be somewhat negated a little.  Plus, since I consider the Omni-Wrench to be a weapon under the special power, it's "basic" class could be ignored. 

My question is, relatively, how does each stat compare to actual events that may happen?  I mean, how does a rank 2 stamina compare to something that can happen ingame?

stats are guidelines, rough estimates when comparing to another person with stats.

If a level 1 went up against a level 3 in an arm wrestling match. You would think the level 3 would win...
Unless the level 1 had 7 STR, and the level 3 had 2 STR. Then we know who is focused in that stuff.

Do I need to play a specific antagonist, or am I free to choose?

You may pick, or even make one of your own as long as you run it by me first. You just cant play Shao Khan or Akuma obviously.  >:)

Ehe....hehehe...Bwahahahaha!!!

(Translation: Looking to make my choice now.)

Dante is ready for a bit of inspection. Let me know what Devil Arms you'd want missing Blue. Dante has a gigantic and powerful arsenal at his disposal. Also if anyone says I'm missing some kind of weakness or strength in Dante let me know. I tried very hard to cover everything he has.

Alrighty, that makes perfect sense.   ;D  I'll send these two over to the character thread then.

[Laughing Hyena]

If you'd like I can send over a villain as well or play one so that we can make sure to divide the things up more easily. And I have the perfect candidate for said villain. His favorite game is tug of war… and he plays for keeps.

Did you guess right?

[scribus1000]

Oooh, damn. I need to build up my villain too, soon. Though the Colosseum won't start for quite awhile, as I understand it.

[Angie]

Found it! Well anyway, I will also be making a new character...but a new hero that is!

Also, if you are in the slightest interested, new players, come on over and talk with us! We're happy to get new blood!

DJ Sona

Level 1 Bard

Current Occupation: Club DJ

Home World Information: Runeterra, a place of magic and technology. Back home, Sona was a child prodigy of music, and thousands flocked to see her performances. The League of Legends at the Institute of War was also a natural fit, after Sona honed her musical craft to be magical in nature. But then came the Reapers, and down went Runeterra...

Appearance/Style Description: Sona is entirely mechanical at this point. She can remove her faceplate to show off a plastic facsimile of her original face, but prefers the full faceplate. The outermost ‘layer’ of her skin is a latex bodysuit that hides the more mechanical parts of herself. Most of the mechanical layer is a metallic skeleton with wiring EVERYWHERE.
     
Personality: Sona is incredibly sweet and caring, almost to the point where she seems incapable of hate. She still loves music, however, and is turning to it as a way of coping with the many mental issues she’s developed as a result of the robotic conversion.

History: Sona never knew her parents. She was found on an orphanage doorstep with a grand instrument known as an ‘etwahl’. The adoption house took her in, marveling at her great behavior and compassion...though they soon discovered that she had been born mute. Sitting in hopeless silence, she watched as others were adopted. Her caretakers sold the instrument, hoping to build a fund for Sona, though for whatever reason, it would always be returned.

Then came Lestara Buville. She learned of the instrument, came to the Ionian Orphanage, and adopted Sona without hesitation, and also left a large sum of money for the orphanage. Under her guidance, Sona developed a deep connection with the etwahl, learning its magical craft. She developed the ability to still and quiver the hearts around her with her melodies...and also how to use the music to fight, slicing objects with simple vibrations of the strings.

She joined the League after she developed her talent more fully. When the Reapers came, she had been in a battle with a new arrival, Bard. As soon as the Reapers made a landing, Bard immediately offered a truce and opened a tunnel of light to take Sona to safety. Sona agreed, but before she could make it into the tunnel, an explosive found its way to her.

“Bits” was not an accurate way to describe her. She was mostly intact...but bleeding from a thousand places, every bone broken, and the most excruciating pain she had ever felt. The Etwahl was shattered, and without it, she could not even call for help. It seemed she would die right there…

As Fate would have it, she was saved. Somehow, someway, she had been flung through time and space to the world of Mega Man. She was found by the robot boy, and brought to Dr. Light. “Can you save her?” He asked. “I will try.” The good doctor replied.

For days, he worked. Sona’s mind was uploaded into a storage unit while he created an entirely new body for her. Her human body was so damaged that attempting to heal her would have left her forever crippled. When the new body was finished, Dr. Light downloaded Sona into it...an operation that could have failed horribly, but once again, somehow, someway, Sona survived. What helped, however, was the curious addition of Eggman and Dr. Wiley-certain events had happened to force them together. Sona never asked, she didn’t feel it appropriate.

And as one more gift, Mega Man had built a new Etwahl for her. This one looked more like a DJ soundboard then her wood and string instrument, but, thanks to Megaman incorporating whatever parts of the old one he could salvage, Sona took to it quickly. Even more impressively, if she held it and used it, she could, for the first time in her life, speak.

Had her story ended there, it might be heartwarming. Complete strangers from across time and space coming together to save a life-no matter the form, some life is better than none. But the Legion, of course, would not rest. Sin itself-that is, the giant beast from Spira-dropped in for coffee, thanks to the arrival (and rebuilding) of Cid Highwind. The city was pounded by constant Sinspawn and Sin itself letting loose massive death rays. Dr. Eggman saw this as an opportunity-he grabbed whatever Sinspawn he could and forcibly converted them, turning the grand monsters into loyal robot slaves.

Dr. Wiley and his Robot Masters, along with Cid, split from Dr. Light, his most faithful creations, and Sona. After many, many, many, MANY misadventures, Dr. Light and Sona managed to make it to New York. Sona is still having difficulty adapting to her new robot body, and Dr. Light has promised to help her and also continue his work.

Current Situation: Struggling in New York, like every other starving artist...currently selling herself as a “female Daft Punk” act. It works. She was offered a chance to join a group called the Back Yard Band by a very drunk Olaf, but after seeing the Back Yard, she ran like hell

Weapon: Her only weapon is the now cybernetic Etwahl, which is loaded with pretty much every piece of music known to humanity, and capable of sending out waves of damaging musical notes.

Notable Items: She carries a small charm of a Chrome musical note, made for her by Mega Man as a token of friendship.

Stats

Strength 1 (even robotic, she has wimpy arms)
Agility 1 (She can float...and not much else)
Stamina 2 (at least she can take a few hits…)
Power 4 (Magic is what she does!)
Reputation 0 (She DID just show up)


Special Powers: Robotic Form: Her body is mechanical now. She can be repaired quite easily, and even with full destruction, her mind can be recovered and uploaded into a new body.

Magical Music: Sona’s music has three different effects: An inspiring Hymm of Valor that enhances allies damage, a soothing Aria of Perseverance that heals allies and shields them from a small amount of damage, and a Song of Celerity that makes everyone move faster. These auras all affect Sona as well.

Crescendo! Sona plays an irresistible chord that forces enemies to dance (effectively stunning them) and damages them.

Strengths: Musically Inclined: Befitting a bard, Sona is well versed in musical knowledge and theory. Sound based puzzles fall before her trained ear.

Soothing: Even without the Aria, Sona’s presence is calming. Just by being around, she can make other people feel at ease.

Hard to Hack: Since Sona’s mind is moving at the speed of thought, getting into her head and altering her programming requires getting past the best security Dr. Light could set up and also fighting Sona mentally. You have a keyboard, she moves at the speed of thought to eject you. Good luck. Not impossible, but would require essentially a fellow AI to do the hacking.


Weaknesses: Mute: Technically. She can communicate as long as she uses the Etwahl to do so, making her voice more or less completely synthetic. Additionally, her mouth doesn’t move while she speaks-not a big thing with the faceplate on, but it launches right into Uncanny Valley if she ever removes it.

PTSD: Well, you don’t come that close to death without picking up a few scars. Explosive devices make her edgy, and enough stuff that sounds like an explosion could send her into some dark places…

Not my form: She’s still getting used to the new robot body. Sometimes her body does things she doesn’t want. Say she’s sitting by a fire for some reason. Her right arm might suddenly dart for the flame before the left arm grabs it and pulls it in.

[Outlaw Fallen]

Katarina Du Couteau
"The Sinister Blade"
Level 1

Strength: 3
Agility: 3
Endurance: 1
Power: 1
Reputation: 0

Current Occupation: Assassin

Home World Information: Runeterra is the world of the League of Legends. The Institute of War had turned conflicts that might have once cost hundreds or thousands of lives into a competition of sorts that could be settled by the League of Legends. Beings with otherwise questionable abilities and talents were the kind found in their ranks, becoming known as champions. Summoners could call upon these champions to wage war on predetermined battlegrounds in order to settle a dispute of land or wealth. An otherwise peaceful world, Runeterra's technological advances built on magic and crystals were no match for the Reapers that came to destroy it.

Appearance/Style Description: Katarina is curvy and athletic, standing at an average height of 5'5". She has a head of thick crimson hair that has grown long over the years, easily coming down to her butt. Her eyes a bright jade, almost reptilian green, which only adds to the effect of her gaze. Her left eye sports a scar in a straight line down from her forehead to her cheek from an attack that very well might have blinded her.
When it comes to clothing, Katarina loves the classics; namely, tight leather pants and a bare midriff. A tube top (also likely made of leather) keeps the girls indoors while she works, and a small leather jacket finishes off this assassin's look. On her stomach and side, a black tribal looking tattoo can be seen, though it disappears behind clothing in both directions, leaving one to wonder just how far it goes.

Personality: Katarina is one of those girls. You know, the kind that can probably kick your ass? She is a hard believer in what she does, and she has fun at it. She's not your typical woman with any instinct to have children or nurture in any way, shape, or form. Despite her proper raising, she still has a tendency to be crass and even suggestive. While she enjoys her work, she also takes it very seriously. She's extremely competitive and ambitious, always seeking to elevate her status and that of her house. Her enjoyment borders on what some might qualify as bloodthirsty. As a teammate, she will sooner leap to make a kill than to save another's life.

History: Katarina came from a powerful family. As the daughter of a Noxian general, she had the choice to do or be anything she wanted to. Yet, she picked up her blades and chose to become an assassin. Somewhere between the rush of drawing blood and the thrill of testing her mettle against others, she had found her place in the world. Only when she could no longer be challenged as a soldier in the Noxian army did she join the ranks of the League of Legends.
Here, she was able to pit her skills against the greatest in all of Runeterra as a champion. She grew quite tired of the abounding rumors that grew around her over the years, though. Yes, Garen had been the first to challenge her. Yes, he pushed her to her limit. Yes, she has had plenty of opportunities to kill him since. No, she never had a thing for the boy scout. No, she hasn't not killed him because of this nonexistent... thing. Yes, she did kiss Lux on a dare just to mess with Garen's head.
In truth, Katarina's personal code of honor kept her from ever singling out Garen and killing him and she would never classify him as a rival. In her mind, when one of them was to die to the other, it would be on an open field of combat with both of them armed and facing each other. There were plenty of others who tested her more than Garen, though, as she grew within the League's ranks. Diana was one such opponent, as was Yasuo. Even the Ice Queen held some of Kat's respect.
Akali was an opponent that she loved to see in the arena more than any other, though, given the war their nations had gone into. Yet, as time passed within the League, Katarina learned that it wasn't about their nations anymore, but about the clash of forces within the arena. In time, she had come to respect her as a strong opponent with skills not so different from her own. There might have been a time when she called the ninja 'friend'.
Of her past-times within the League, none was more amusing to Katarina than to hear the outrageous and often silly rumors regarding how she came to have her scar. Not surprisingly, many involved Garen. "Kat got the scar from Garen, duh! She didn't make his **** sandwich correctly. SPIN SPIN SPIN MAKE MY SANDWICH!! Why you think they are always fighting?" "She got it while practicing her bouncing blade. Turns out that her blade was once able to bounce off of her face if no other targets were available." "She 'face-checked' a bush...literally."
This life, full of small pleasures like killing people and scar-jokes, came to a jarring end when the Reapers invaded Runeterra. It wasn't easy to fight against these invaders, even for the League champions, and it wasn't long before they were overrun. Luckily, Katarina had won a transdimensional device gambling in Zaun some years before. It hadn't been her preferred method of being paid, but she had taken it off of some goof that claimed that it could send her anywhere... or possibly kill her. That he had emphasized the possibility of death is what had sold her on its legitimacy.
When Katarina found herself cornered by some reapers, tired and injured from having fought and run for so long, she decided it was worth the gamble to see if this device functioned or not. The device opened a portal which the assassin decided to brave instead of accepting defeat and dying. When she came through the other side of that portal and realized it hadn't killed her, she found herself in a strange world. A couple of Reapers were able to follow her through, but she was quickly able to dispatch them with what energy she had left.
From there, she would go to explore this new world and what adventures it held for her.

Current Situation: Joining up with GPaW under whatever circumstances allow as an excuse to continue seeking glory and the thrill of combat, as she has found this world terribly lacking a need for people of her trade.

Weapons and Items: Suffice it to say that Katarina is never without a blade... or a fair few of them, at least. Aside from her daggers, she also has plenty of shurikens. Aside from that, there are multiple enchanted items that she has kept with her from the League.
Mercury's Treads - Enhance her movement speed and helps reduce the effect of spells/abilities that inhibit her movement.
Rylai's Crystal + Liandry's Torment - Liandry's torment burns enemies with a DOT effect, which is doubled by Rylai's slowing effect on enemies hit by Kat's abilities.
Nashor's Tooth - A blade of great design with incredible attack speed. It's enchantment also allows her to use her abilities more often.
Hextec Gunblade - This weapon gives Katarina some spell-vamp in her attacks, giving her a little more sustain against her enemies, not to mention the added damage from using it. The spell-vamp is activated by her abilities, giving a portion of health back to her whenever she damages her foes with them. The gunblade also has an active ability that causes some extra damage and slows whomever is hit with it.
Luden's Echo - Aside from being a powerful artifact, this enchants Kat's weapons so that when it is charged and she attacks an opponent, its charged power scatters through nearby enemies for extra damage. It also increases her speed.
Zhonya's Hourglass - An excellent defensive item. This trinket allows for a few seconds of invulnerability in those most dire of situations.



Special Powers: Katarina does not depend on stamina, mana, or any other sort of power pool. She doesn't even depend on a limited number of blades... because, magic.

Bouncing Blades - Katarina can throw her daggers at enemies, which will bounce to several other enemies. Each enemy hit by her blade will be marked. Any enemy she hits (with an ability or regular attack) that is marked will receive bonus damage.

Sinister Steel - Katarina whirls her blades around her, causing damage to nearby enemies caught in the flurry. After using this attack, Katarina gains extra mobility for a short time.

Shunpo - Katarina can teleport a medium distance, or break up these lightning steps into a few short jumps. After teleporting, she gains a temporary boost in her defense for a couple of seconds.

Death Lotus - This is Katarina's most powerful attack. She spins in place like a top and hurls a torrent of blades at multiple foes.



Special Abilities: These are special abilities that Katarina will have learned that are not germane to her original training or the League of Legends universe.



Strengths:
- Whatever else anyone might say about Katarina, she is fast and more than adept with her blades. As such, she as able to put out maximum damage in the shortest time span. She is also incredibly flexible and agile, depending on her reflexes to dodge an opponent's attack or block it since she has next to no armor.
- Katarina's attacks are augmented by her items to further increase the damage she deals to an opponent.
- For all of her flaws as a person, Katarina is extremely charming and persuasive... when she's not trying to kill you. It is feasible that she could talk the gold out of Ft Knox. Of course, if the silver tongue ever fails, she can always default to intimidation.

Weaknesses:
- Katarina is built for speed. The most armor she wears is bracers and pauldrons. While it keeps her mobility at its maximum potential, it also leaves her quite vulnerable to damage.
- Katarina is incredibly competitive and prideful. While this may not be a big issue outside of combat, it will most certainly show itself in a fight. She will not be very chummy or teamwork oriented on the battlefield, and will overlook a teammate in need to go for another kill. This can lead to friction among her teammates and often gets the enemy's attention focused on her.
- In the same vein of her being competitive, she is incredibly ambitious to further her name and reputation. In the world she comes from, this means kills. The more bad guys she takes down, the more recognition she will receive. Because of this, she will not hesitate to shoulder teammates out of the way to end a fight with her own blade.

V-13

Sword of Destruction

Level one

Home World Information: Not so long ago the world as it was known was beset by the calamity they called The Dark War. The Black Beast An nigh unstoppable horror from somewhere between worlds emerged. It took the efforts of the entire planet and six legendary heroes to put down the beast and by then the world was half way to ruin. In the wake of the calamity the planets surface was poisoned. Coated in an arcane radiation known as Seithr. This forced the majority of the population into massive tiered cities, towering high enough in the sky to be above the clouds of the harmful magic miasma. In this state life continued on. Governed by the enigmatic Novus Orbis Librarium, custodians of all nearly all magical artifacts in the aftermath of the Dark War. The worlds powers sit on a tipping point. Waiting for the onset of another calamity trigger.

Appearance/Style Description: A deceptively fragile looking young woman, she stands in at 5'1” and weighs just over 99lbs. Her very long silver hair is tied in a long braid held together by a single blade. Nu's eyes are a deep scarlet, with her right eye is hidden behind a strage eye patch. Nu wears a form fitting blue jumpsuit that ends just above her knees, and a large ornamental cloak.
     
Personality: V-13, Or Nu. As she is more commonly known is an artificial human, created for reasons she never knew. And never sought. Nu's emotions were sealed away, becoming little more than an emotionless machine who kills anyone that obstructs her programming or whom she determines to be hostile.
At heart, however, Nu is a sad and lonely girl who has endured years of nightmarish torture, clinging to her memories of a man named Ragna to give her hope.
Though largely lacking in emotional capacity, Nu is far from lifeless. Having been a test subject for literally her entire life she is desperately curious about those who live outside the cauldron. Though shes hopelessly out of touch with humanity, with a little human compassion and a bit of patience she could potentially become more than just an emotionless killing machine. And then there is a certain someone, lost somewhere in the space between worlds, who holds the key to Nu's rather darker, rather livelier side.


History: Nu is what is known as a Boundary Interface Prime Field Device. An artificial human designed to explore the other side of the Boundary, a place between worlds, and between time. It appears as an infinite dark empty space that is illuminated by anything living that enters it. To this end her life until this point has been a long series of trials. Tests and experiments akin to torture. All her life Nu has known very little in the way of human interaction. She is the thirteenth such unit, and is from this that she derives her name.

Current Situation: The Invasion of an outside threat so soon after the Dark War devastated the recovering world. Though it would not go down without a fight. Though divided, the six heroes would all have parts to play in the fight against the enigmatic legion. Somewhere in the chaos the thirteenth hierarchical city of Kagutsuchi came under attack. The Cauldron where Nu slept was shattered. And V-13 was released into a strange world. Aimless for the first time.
An incredibly deadly and capable fighter, Nu doesn't need emotion to reduce a foe to red ruin. Although alone against the Legions forces her considerable power could only achieve so much. Through trial and error she quickly discovered that the best odds of survival would lie in seeking refuge with others. And so when offered sanctuary by strange, co-operative beings from another world, she agreed.

Current Occupation: Automated telephone receptionist

Weapon:Lux Sanctus Marakumo. Though fairly docile in appearance most of the time, when Nu detects a threat she calls to her a powerful Marakumo Unit. A colossal mechanical sword, she can pull from the boundary itself. This half machine half arcane artifact is designed to interface with her directly. Warping it's shape in a brilliant flash of light to cover her body in a suit of blades. And granting her limited powers over gravity and the ability so summon half corporeal energy blades from seemingly nothing.
In combat V-13 specializes in delivering highly lethal attacks at medium range from unexpected and impossible directions. She can fold space and teleport herself or her blades short distances.
In battle Nu levitates several inches from the ground at all times, allowing her to make full use of the massive blades attached to both legs and arms.
In addition the eight suspended swords that make up her bladed wings can act completely independently withing a short range. Proving versatile weapons for both offense and defense.
This highly irregular arsenal makes Nu a surprisingly worthy adversary even against foes much stronger of faster than she is.

Stats -
Strength – 1
Agility – 2
Stamina – 2
Power – 3
Reputation - 0

Special Powers:
Sword Summoner: V-13 is capable of pulling blades of semi transparent energy from seemingly nothing and sending them flying with lethal velocity towards her foes. These blades can come from virtually any direction within line of sight. She is capable of doing this with seemingly no limit, and will often chain together dozens of swords in rapid succession to distract a foe and whittle down their defenses in preparation for a killing blow.
Gravity Seed: V-13 Can distort the effects of gravity on a space roughly six feet in diameter. Causing those caught in the well to levitate slowly upwards for several crucial, vulnerable seconds.
Legacy Edge: V-13 triggers a portal through which she summons a harrowing barrage of hundreds of her energy blades. Sending them forth in a tight cone to devastate anyone directly in the line of  fire.
Calamity Sword:V-13 closes t he gap for a single point blank range high risk high reward attack. Pulling the massive Calamity sword from the sky above her foe, and driving it into the ground at her feet. This attack Is costly to preform but deals incredible, often lethal damage.


Strengths:
- Threat Assessment: V-13 is a calculated killing machine in combat. And is capable of running fairly accurate threat assessments of known or documented opponents.
- Light Frame: Her manipulation of gravity and light frame combine to make her exceptionally agile while airborne for any reason. And her combination of attacks are equally deadly against airborne opponents.

Weaknesses:
- Fragile: Though bolstered by the Marakumo Unit, Nu is herself still mostly human. And her body itself is far from indestructible.
- Difficulty communicating: Nu feels more at home communicating with a screen than a human being. She has issues expressing herself properly in and out of combat.
-  Hopelessly Naive: In relation to any concept outside  of combat. Living out everyday life in a calculated and sterile fashion without really knowing any better. Shes lonely and desperately in need of a friend. Without really understanding either concept.
-Calamity Trigger: "...Ragna, Why don't you understand? It's such a beautiful Thing!"

[Rel Mayer]

BlazBlue! So cool! Eep! :) :D

I loved that character, although she was so OP in the beginning!

[Blue Nova]

Excellent, Just in time too. Also really good pick. I will approve this, I would like it if you had 1 physical and 1 mental Strength, and 1 1 physical and 1 mental Weakness. Though it is not required.

You can post here, with your character, as part of the Ragnarok Crew.Main Story Thread - Coliseum: The Ragnarok

Also go ahead and move your character sheet to the Approved Character Sheet Thread.

[Sorrow Singer]

Thanks guys, glad you like her. I cleaned it up a bit and expanded on the strengths/weakness' a little. looking forward to getting her in the game. Nu's always been one of my absolute favorite characters.

[Blue Nova]

Looking forward to seeing Nu in action.

Eddie Riggs

Current Occupation: Roadie

Home World Information: It is a world of Heavy metal created by the mighty god Ormagöden. The place is looks like it's the cover art for a metal album all the time and until Eddie saved the day it was ruled by demons who enslaved the metal loving humans living there. Everything in this world wants to kill everything else in the most awesome way possible.

Appearance/Style Description: Eddie looks the same as he always has with demon form when he is in battle and all.
     
Personality: Eddie just wants to help people and look as cool as possible while doing it. Or help the real heroes look cool. He sees himself as just the Roadie. the guy in the background no one should focus on while he sets everything up for the hero to win. However if he is put up to being the hero he will not back down and will do the best job he can at it. He is kind to others although always a little sarcastic.

History: Eddie started out in a human world as a Roadie until he almost died and was brought by Ormagöden to the heavy metal world. There he was called the chosen one but stepped down to help a true hero shine. Eventually he became the main hero and killed a demon named Doviculus that was enslaving humanity in that world. The demon however didn't truly die as it became stronger only to leave this world to find other villains to work with. Eddie learned it lived and tried to follow it and found himself here.  For all he knows his world is not taken as it's unlikely even the Legion could deal with  making that worlds united humanity and creatures it's slaves. They might have shown up and have a presence there but humanity isn't likely to be enslaved again and the animals of that world never will be. It would be one world putting up one hell of a fight. Eddie has no clue now though and is focusing on helping out the rest of the heroes as best he can.


Current Situation: Helping where he can and wondering what the hell is going on here.

Weapon: Clementine: His basic flying V guitar imbued with the powers of the Heavy metal world he saved so that playing on it does magical and epic things. Like calling down lightening when he plays notes and summoning animals form his Heavy metal world if he plays the right song. Or even summoning his  car from that world known as "The Deuce". He can keep using the powers of the guitar until it heats up. This means he can't rock out for more than about half a minute before it becomes too hot.

The Separator: A large broadaxe that is great for killing the shit out of things. His weapon of choice when he his guitar is too hot. It can be given special qualities but since showing up here he lost all the ones it had. Now it's just a heavy axe he wields with one hand




Stats -

Strength - 3
Agility - 1
Stamina - 2
Power - 2
Reputation - 0


Special Powers: Summon the Deuce: Eddie plays a short song to summon his Hot rod to this world. Not upgraded yet but it's still a large and fast car and still packs a punch. Even if destroyed it can be re-summoned. (Once per fight)

Wild call: A short song that summons Razor deer to fight for Eddie. These things could kill a normal person but are pretty easy to take down if you have the skill. (Once per thread)

General guitar magic: Calling own lightening by playing random notes and making the earth shake once by playing one strong one. Not super useful and the lightening acts like normal lightening with no focus to hit his enemies it just won't hit him. (Once per post)

Strengths: Trained with the Axe: He can fight with his Axe and do it well

Can play guitar: Has magic through his skills that he already had in guitar.

Can drive well: He is very good at driving and can keep up with driving an inhumanly fast vehicle.

Worlds greatest Roadie: He can make a stage in about half a minute and any prop a show might need as long as he has some random things lying around.

Weaknesses: Dangerously cocky: While Eddie may make great plans before a battle he can loose himself in the show and the moment and do very stupid things that put himself and others in danger.

His guitar heats up: While he can do a lot of magical and amazing things with his guitar if he messes up a short song then it heats up dangerously hot and he can't us it for a bit. Or he is uses it too often by using a once per post power more than once per post it will overheat and will have to wait for it to cool down before he uses it again.

[Rel Mayer]

Really awesome to have Eddie enter into the group! Should give it a pretty awesome dynamic! ;)

[Lustful Bride]

Were going to have Eddie Riggs in the group?.......*fangirls so hard*

[Juggtacular]

You should totally keep his half-demon powers. Spawn of Succoria and all that.

[Outlaw Fallen]

Haha... I forgot that you were picking up a really popular character, vatovie xD

[vatovie]

Oh I will but that doesn't do much other than flight.

[Angie]

FUCK YES! Eddie goddamn Riggs! Now we've got a band!

[Lustful Bride]

Him and Lammy will put on such awesome concerts!

[vatovie]

Didn't realize everyone would like Eddie so much. Also he will rock out with Lammy most likely after a rock off. Or he will just makes stages for her to fight bosses with. Powerful as fuck in the right hands. Maybe even having the same effect they did in the game and summoning an army. So, many rock type ideas.  >:)

Then Sona comes in with the Hymm of Valor, and when everyone gets a boost to attack, you will understand why the music is so angry: When the music is angry, YOU HIT HARDER!

[Blue Nova]

I'm sensing a Protag Pentakill band forming  >:)

Also, good job vatovie. You covered everything that needs to be on the Character sheet. I can Approve this immediately, and rewrite him into the Ragnarok Crew, since it still just started.

You can post here, with your character, as part of the Ragnarok Crew.Main Story Thread - Coliseum: The Ragnarok

Also go ahead and move your character sheet to the Approved Character Sheet Thread.

[vatovie]

Okay an thoughts of where to post first or what team I'm on for this next mission.

Welcome to the madhouse.

[Lustful Bride]

"War...War never changes"     

-Fallout

I vote that in our continuity it was War saying those lines all along. Think about it.

[Angie]

Oh god I just imagined a cheesy romance novel line: "Never change, War." "Don't worry, my dear," I said, cracking a smile. "I never do."

War, Horseman of the Apocalypse

Level 1

Current Occupation: Gladiator/Vigilante

Home World Information: As both a Nephilim and one of the Charred Council's peace keepers and weapons of judgement War travels to any world touched by the Tree of Life/Death but had no world of his own to call home. Recent events saw the destruction of the Middle Kingdom, a realm of Earth, and led to War breaking ties with the Charred Council and setting out to restore the Balance on his own.

Appearance/Style Description: The Horseman War has charged into countless battles astride his spectral steed Ruin, leaving trail of blood and bones in his wake. His eyes and hair are as white as the chill he casts on angels and demons alike, for the fury of his massive sword is unmatched in combat.

Personality: As unyielding as time itself, War is both honorable and savage.
History: War is a Nephilim, a race made by blending Demons and Angels, who took part in that race's unstoppable rampage across the cosmos and put many realms to the sword. Tiring of the endless slaughter War and his siblings, Death, Fury, and Strife, gave their service to the might Keepers of Balance known as the Charred Council in exchange for almost unimaginable power. Their first task? Slay the Nephilim.

Thousands of years later, after long and deadly service to the Balance, War was summoned to Earth for the Apocalypse before it's time, then blamed for the destruction of the Middle Kingdom that Resulted. Banished to the demon-claimed ruins of Earth he launched a quest for justice to restore the Balance and clear his name, that he might Reclaim his Honor. During this quest he discovered that the early Apocalypse was the result of an Angel's plot... and that the Charred Council had known of his innocence all along and both blamed and tormented him in punishment to save face. He cut down all responsible only to discover that the Demons who manipulated the guilty angel had aid from beyond his realm.

Having broken ties with the Charred Council that betrayed him, he set out into the cosmos in search of this mysterious 'Legion' and was drawn to a hellish place known as the 'Nether Realm' and a great tournament that was being held there. Upon finding that the Legion had warriors in the tournament he joined and has so far climbed out of the lower ranks, despite being a solo combatant.


Current Situation: Hunting Evil in a gladiatorial tournament.

Weapon(s):
Chaoseater - Chaoseater is a sword unlike any other. This unforgiving weapon has slaughtered countless enemies, their fate foretold by the death-masks artfully etched along its massive blade. Any many a battle has been decided by Chaoseater's viciously honed edge, which can slice through the thickest demon bone as if it where candle wax. As with many ancient arcane weapons, Chaoseater's true power can only be unleashed by a master equal to its blood-stained legend. Such a master is the Horseman War.


Crossblade - There are many profane weapons scattered about the ash of Man's kingdom. Few can match the speed and lethality of the Croassblade. It is a cluster of four blades that can be thrown with brutal force. After arcing deep into flesh, the Crossblade returns to its wielder's hand, ready to be thrown again. And if that were not enough, the weapon carries an additional, malevolent secret. The Crossblade can absorb the properties of certain elements it passes through - such as fire and plague - and translate them into further mutilation. Even the mightiest of the Dark One's legions would dread a warrior who brandished a weapon of such devastating power.


Abyssal Chain - Death is not always a cacophony of death cries and armor-beating. Sometimes it is a muffled tchink... a silent pause... and a sharp point through the heart. The Abyssal Chain is a supernatural gauntlet forged to deliver such a fate. It fires a spearhead out of its engraved mouth with blinding speed, unspooling a chain behind it. This chain can be retracted to drag a dying foe to an even fouler fate. Or, it can pull the Hook and its master skyward to swing across the wastes.


Stats -

Strength - 3
Agility - 1
Stamina - 4
Power - 2
Reputation - 0 (Not yet recruited)


Special Powers:
Wrath Powers:
Blade Geyser - War slams the ground, causing blades to sprout up around him, dealing damage to anything in the vicinity.

Stoneskin - War's skin becomes as hard as stone.


Shadow flight: War grows wings of shadow allowing for short periods of gliding.

Block: If properly braced against his target War can negate almost any attack and, with proper timing, counterattack almost instantly when their failed strike leaves them off guard.

Strengths: Powerful, tough and implacable. War is as deadly and unstoppable as his namesake and just as prone to leaving ruined fields of corpses.
Weapons Master: War can weld any weapon ever made, by magic or technology, with the skill of a master.
Heavy Armor: Angelic cannons, demonic axes, and massive golems... War has been struck by them all and walked away with nary a scratch.
Channeled Rage: War can channel his rage to loose devastating magical attacks.
Soul Collector: War's time in the ruins of Earth led him to master the skill of collecting souls to heal his wounds, empower his magics... or sell for weapons and power.

Weaknesses: Slow and unwieldy. While War makes an excellent battering ram a dancer he is not.
Lumbering: While War can get up to impressive speeds in a pinch, agile he is not. Jumping is straight forward, climbing slow and meticulous, and don't even think about wall running.
Honorable: While his honorable nature means War is loyal to his friends and respectful of his more honorable enemies it can also lead him into trouble. Like suicide missions to ruined worlds and duals to the death.

((Thoughts?))

[Juggtacular]

I'm not a GM, but he looks pretty good. Just I think you should add his War Form if you hadn't intended to. It's a pretty big part of his power set and could help out in a pinch.

[Blue Nova]

Awesome! I love the Darksider characters, they are so cool!

Though you did spend too many points for your Stats, here are the starting point rules. Which will grow with time.

Other than that the character sheet looks great. Your also just in time to post in the Ragnarok Thread, as they just crashed, and they are taking a roll call of everyone who survived. War could show up while this is happening... something like this -->
<_<   >_>

Once your stats are corrected, move him over to the approved Character Sheets Thread!

Saric and I discussed gaining the War Form as a Level Up, so its much more potent.  >:)

If you would like him to enter a specific way within the thread, please contact me in PM and we can work something out.

:) Looks good though!

Sorry, I did read the rules on starting stats, I just apparently lost count.

And as Nova said we planed Chaos Form as his first Level Up since it's such a Huge buff.

If you would like him to enter a specific way within the thread, please contact me in PM and we can work something out.

:) Looks good though!

I did specify that he's at the tournament as a contestant, is there a specific way you want him to enter? I haven't read through the thread yet to find out exactly what's going on myself.

He's going to have to enter with the group that is in the thread that was linked above. Currently the protagonists are in different groups, so since the party he would be in has already landed - he could join them up while they venture to the colosseum.

You will want to be part of that thread, because it will get you a level up before entering the colosseum fights.

[Saric]

Hmmm... Would you prefer the badass slow walk out of the clouds of sand or the flaming meteor crashing to the ground with him rising from the crater? Those being his primary modes of travel when alone. Or there could be a flaming meteor crashing to the ground out of sight followed by the badass slow walk out of the clouds of sand!

War is nothing if not flexible in his approach to being a badass.

Entrance made and made epically! ;D

[BruceTheCat]

Here is my character for consideration!

Daniel “Danny” Forest

Current Occupation: When Danny came to New York he was shocked to discover that his Pokemon badges did not qualify as a “appropriate education” for a boy his age. He is currently attending High School as a Senior student. Sadly this is only because of his age. His rudimentary understanding of things non-Pokemon oriented, like long division and the American Revolution, have him in a number of Special-Ed. Classes.

Home World Information: Danny comes from the Pokemon Home World, specifically the Unova (Black and White) Region where he was questing to become a Pokemon Master! While Nuvema Town might be where his mother lives, and the place where he grew up, Danny has ventured to and captured Pokemon in a number of additional regions since starting on his quest. Though most of his time has been spent in Unoiva, Kanto, and the Johto regions.

Appearance/Style Description: Danny appears as an older teenager, though his plucky demeanor and energetic personality often make him seem more childish. He has a shortly cut dark hair along with one of the trademark Pokemon trainer baseball cap perched on his head. He wears a red and black zip up hoodie that he earned by getting to the semi-finals of the Pokemon World Tournament. Coupled with a vest, and a set of weathered looking jeans.
     
Personality: Danny has a bright-eyed, smiley personality. Never having really experienced hardships or true tragedy in his lifetime. He thinks out loud quite a lot, and openly admits that he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He loves to laugh, loves his Pokemon,

History: Several years ago Danny left his home in Nuvema Town to begin his journey in becoming a great Pokemon Master. Ever since he was little all he thought about or dreamed about was the future. The Pokemon he would capture, the friends he would meet on the way to Victory Road, the adventures, the victories and defeats, everything that he'd read or learned came along with the trials and tribulations of the best trainers in the world. While every kid his age yearned for the day when the received their starter Pokemon, Daniel Forest was a grade above the rest. At least he thought so. For his starter, the boy chose a Ditto. At first, he was disappointed that this was the only Pokemon that Professor Juniper had available. But now, Ditto and him are best friends. Making it one of his strongest Pokemon.

It has been years since Danny took that first step out of Professor Juniper's office. Danny has collected many badges, tons of Pokemon, and bonded with several other trainers whom Danny considers his best friends. Due to his determination and the trust of his Pokemon, Danny has become a great trainer. He has won tournaments in many regions, both local and national. Likewise (in some circles) he is known as a memorable, if not a bit unusual young man.

This is not to say that Danny has not made some enemies! Specifically Team Rocket, one of the major criminal organizations of the Pokemon world has attacked Danny and tried to steal his Pokemon on many occasions. Luckily, at least for now, he has always managed to trick or beat them in a Pokemon duel.

Perhaps due to his lack of overall confidence in his abilities, Danny has not yet taken the plunge down Victory Road to challenge the Elite Four. Even though he has more than enough badges to qualify. Or perhaps he feels that finally being known as a Pokemon Master by succeeding would mean the grand epic of his tale is finally drawing to a close. Who knows!

Danny has put his training on hold for a very different sort of adventure. What is happening in the different Home Worlds, and the effect of the Legion is known to the man. So, gathering up his Pokemon, Danny has ventured to New York to try and join the resistance fight. Maybe he can even capture a few new types of Pokemon along the way.

Current Situation: Danny is currently in New York, going through school while trying to join in on the fight with the Legion.

Weapon: Danny uses his Pokemon as weapons. What I would like (pending GM approval) is to not be specific about which Pokemon Danny has, that way I can sort of switch between them at my leisure for creative freedom. However, in my “Special Powers” section I will call out specific Pokemon as being his strongest team members. Also, his “go-to” fighters for the more challenging encounters.

Current Team of Pokemon:

1. Ditto -

Special Powers:

Pokedex – In Danny's world the Pokedex is known for reading off interesting information, history, and the special abilities of Pokemon that it scans. After leaving his Home World, he has discovered that it is capable of doing the same thing when scanning friendly Protagonist or enemy Legion members. If Danny has a chance during battle, he can produce his Pokedex and use the thing to size up his opponents. Gaining useful information that typically assists in the capture, or defeat of his opponent.

Ditto – Being Danny's starter Pokemon, Ditto is the most powerful Pokemon in Danny's entire arsenal. It's ability to morph has expanded greatly ever since entering New York, and combating the Legion. Ditto can change in to a less powerful version of any person/thing it has previously morphed in to. Adopting some of the attacks and special maneuvers of the thing.

Master Ball – This is a one use Special Power that Danny has in his arsenal. The Pokemon Trainer has found a single Master Ball in his journey, and has yet to use it. If used, the Master Ball automatically captures whatever is the subject of his attack. If Danny chooses to use this Master Ball, he may never use it again, and must keep the thing that he has captured.

Strengths:

Pokemon Loyalty – Danny's Pokemon are extremely loyal to their Trainer. Especially those in his main team.

Optimistic Demeanor – Danny has a very positive outlook even in the worst situation. In his mind, hard work and determination will win out every time. He truly believes that good will conquer evil, no matter what.

Weaknesses:

Team Rocket Version of Evil – Danny is extremely naive. Team Rocket, one of the most “evil” organizations from his Home World has several lines they do not cross. As a result, he has a strong belief that bad people are really good at heart. Everyone deserves a second chance, and killing is absolutely wrong. This makes him troublesome in combat considering he would rather let a powerful enemy escape with his life, then kill him. Only to encounter them later stronger, and much better informed as to Danny's abilities.

Trainer, not the Pokemon – Danny is not a fighter, he is a trainer. With the exception of the natural resistances that he gains for just being a Protagonist he has no personal means to defend himself against direct attacks.

[Rel Mayer]

Ditto is such a cool idea!

Just curious, did you want to associate a level with the pokemon? Or assume they level up like him. Just wondering for future reference.

[BruceTheCat]

To be honest I don't really want to treat his Pokemon like their own unique character, except for RP purposes.

When Danny levels up, I will expend the power by giving him or his Pokemon a appropriate power. But effectively I will just treat them almost like Danny's sunmons. Their stats would be reflected in his stats.

It would almost be better to say (stat wise) that all of the numbers represented in this sheet are the stats of his Pomemon, except Reputation. While Danny has 0 in all of his stats.

Does that make sense?

[Rel Mayer]

Mmmhmm. But Ditto will be his strongest, since you're using it as a special power.

I'm wondering if you can tie reputation also into loyalty. For instance, the higher Danny's rep is - the more his pokemon are proud of him and have chances on super effective moves.

[BruceTheCat]

That would be really cool!

[Blue Nova]

Looks great but you need to add 4 starting stat points to your character!

Once you do that, you're approved!

Then post him in the Character Sheets thread.

[Mr L]

I remember both Red and Avina needing points in Power to make their pokemon more effective. Just a thought :)

[BruceTheCat]

That makes sense Mr. L.

I would think that the physical attacks of your Pokemon would be based on your physical stats (Scratch, Tackle, etc.) while attacks like Flamethrower, Water Gun, Psychic would be based on Power. Since they are sort of like Pokemon spells.

What do you guys think? If their strength is just based on Power, that would be easy to only have 1 stat to determine how strong my Pokemon are. But I could see that being really rigged in my benefit. Which would be unfair to everyone else.

At the same time, if you do think of them like summons, they're power would be based on your character. It wouldn't be a whole lot of difference between him and Peach, since they'd both rely on their power stat (pokemon/magic respectively) and take away that source and they're way out of their element. At least that's how I'm rationalizing pokemon using Power. If Peach learned to conjure things to fight for her and her magic went away, they'd go with it.

[BruceTheCat]

That's is a very good point.... Like if you summon a Balck Paladin kind of knight, the strength of his attacks would not be based on your Strength. It would be based on the power of the summon (your Power).

Alright, thanks for the advice! I'm going to run with Power.
