Interest Thread: Devil May Cry - Fate of Two Worlds

[Katra Alexion]

Having recently finished the latest installment of the DMC series I wanted to see if their were any online rpg based on it. Imagine my surprise when I found there weren't many out there so I thought I give it a try here on Elliquiy.  The basic idea is this;

Two years after the events of Fourtuna Island, Dante learns that his twin Vergil didn't die at Mundus's hand but rather had used the last vestige of their father's power to rip open a portal leading to another hell dimension where he landed in the most unlikely of situations. Back in the human world Dante enlists the help of Nero who possesses Yamato to try and find a way to bring his twin back as their efforts are blocked by group calling themselves the "Exalted". It is unclear what their goals are but one thing is for certain - they don't want Vergil brought back and seem real keen on taking Yamato.

Meanwhile after being flung to another world Vergil awakens to find himself in a hell unlike any other he had seen before.  Unfortunately for him he was quickly beset upon by the denizens of this new realm and despite being sword-less he puts up an impressive fight with hand to hand skills alone, but even then it isn't nearly enough. On the cusp of defeat the half devil son of Sparda is rescued by a masked savior. In return for saving his life and tending his injuries his masked rescuer exacts a Debt of Honor that would prove most interesting.

Cannon and original characters are welcomed

[Vergil1989]

Name;  Vergil, Twin son of Sparda
Alias;  The Dark Knight, Nelo Angelo.
Age;  Unknown.  (Looks 25.)
Race;  Half demon/half human.
Physical Description; 

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Styles;  Darkslayer.
Powers;  Darkslayer Style of combat.  Teleportation, long range sword slashes, lightning fast strikes, and incredible strength even without using his Devil Trigger.  Major boosts to endurance, speed, agility, dexterity, and all the rest thanks to his demon half, Vergil is a force to be reckoned with even on the worst days.  Summoned Swords for long range attack when not using his Darkslayer abilities.
Personality;  Cold, sardonic, collected, and calm as glacial ice, Vergil is a warrior without equal or compare.
Strengths;  Incredible strength, speed, agility, dexterity, endurance, and senses even without using his Devil Trigger.  Some magical power as well is in his possession, mainly in the form of telekinetic blades he's able to summon at will.
Weaknesses;  Personality flaws abound in Vergil's character, the most obvious one being however is mentioning either his half breed nature or by saying his mother's name.  Either way, be prepared for Hell's full fury to fall upon your head for either transgression, but if you're able to exploit said weakness you might just gain the upper hand if used correctly.
Profession;  None currently.  (Will be another investigator however, much like his brother.)
Personal Possessions;  Besides the clothes on his back and the weapons he carries, Vergil does hold one personal item that serves no practical function for combat or anything else.  A small amulet, half of a larger magical amulet which his brother holds the other half which when combined along with breaking a couple dozen seals, can be used to open a path to the Demon World, where their father sealed away his own power within his sword.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Weapons;  None currently
Devil Arms;  None currently.  Yamato however is his chosen sword in any situation, capable of sealing or opening true Hell Gates or completely destroying them when not used to create them.
Personal History;  The last time he and Dante had seen each other had been in the Demon World, being left wounded and weakened by their last fight together which he had lost.  Something in Vergil's otherwise cold heart began to thaw, but it would be a long time before he changed for the better in any noticeable sense of the word.  Regardless, before all this happened, the blue samurai warrior of countless battles both on this side and the demon side of existence used to be just like Dante in every sense of the word as far as having a caring heart and a strong sense of right and wrong, but with the death of their parents, Vergil changed for the worst.  Now, at a bit of a 'midlife crisis', the man must adapt to the stirrings of his long dead heart or fall back into darkness....

[Racaro]

Name: Serene
Alias: No-face, though she detests being called that.
Age: 26 (146)
Race: Doppelganger (not sure what that falls under.
Physical Description:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

This is her most common appearance, though due to her nature she can appear differently.

Styles: Blade-Fist. It is essentially a form of martial arts, but the fashion in which she executes it allows and is enhanced by the addition of a blade attacked to the wrist, extending past the fist. On her main hand she utilized the blade, as it is her main hand, but on her off hand there is a different mechanism attacked. With a solid punch it fires a shotgun slug, into the target. The gauntlet on this hand is armored to prevent self-harm with the punch, and therefor also serves as her defensive arm.
Powers: Transformation, though at the cost of deep desire to claim the life of whose identity she has assumed, if they're not already dead. Telepathy, and enhanced empathy (can read surface thoughts.)
Strength: Due to her abilities, she can read and replicate nearly any type of personality. Her powers of deception are also quite prevalent.
Weakness: If viewed in a mirror or camera of any kind, she has no face. Anyone with slight psionic abilities is able to detect and even block her enhanced empathy. Powerful enough Psionic attacks are able to force her back to her original state, and sonic attacks disrupt her ability, often leading to a reversion to her true form. Also, a covering of lead is enough for any non-psion to block her. Is also very sensitive about her true form's appearance.
Profession: Espionage specialist, but also a moderately skilled assassin.
Weapons: Her dual gauntlets; one lighter with a blade attached, which extends about 4 inches past her fist, the other a bit heavier and more protected, with an impact compartment under her fist that fires it's loaded shotgun slug upon impact (can be manually fired with a wire inside the elbow.)
Possessions: Her coat, her weapons, and a journal. This journal is full of names a dates. These are the people she has personally killed and claimed the identities of, and the dates are when she killed them, so as to avoid using an identity 30 years old.
History: Serene has been wandering from place to place, being sure to avoid any highly populated area's that were strongly anti-anything not human. She'd been found a few times, once or twice on purpose in hopes of finding a job with which to earn money. Her skills earned her a decent reputation among darker circles of humans, and she is known by some devils or demons to be a deceptive whore, though she won't admit to being anywhere near a harlot.

[Vergil1989]

Well, other than some grammar issues, which are minor anyway, I myself like Serene but this isn't my game unless the gal in charge makes me a Co-GM or something lol.  Until then however, it's not my approval you need win, but if it was I'd go for this idea in a heartbeat.   ;D

[Katra Alexion]

Indeed Serene looks to be a fine character indeed.  ;D

And yes, Vergil you are being made a co-gm; I need a mind as devious as your to help out from time to time.  >:)

[Vergil1989]

"Drops jaw in shock then remembers that we had this conversation on YIM already."  Lol, I couldn't resist the joke there.  So yeah, what Katra says goes for me as well Racaro.  Good luck!

As a side note, Devil Arms can be created but I do ask, and I'm sure that Katra agrees with me on this, that they don't get too out of hand AND that you have a historical mention of them somewhere in your background history.  Beyond that, go nuts I say.   ;D

[Racaro]

The best I could figure for Serene would either be a mask of some kind that removes her weakness while strengthening her in some way... or a new set of gauntlets that up her combat prowess, but I dunno...

[Vergil1989]

Well, one of the other promised characters has already asked for Gilgamesh, and I'm looking for Beowulf as far as Vergil's concerned.  Still, a mask if found later on wouldn't be a bad idea if you want to go that route or another pair of custom made gauntlets and greaves as well so long as they are different from what's been made already.  Up to you though Racaro buddy.  In the meantime, welcome to E and I hope you have a blast here with the rest of us lol.  If you want, start spreading the word around by sending this interest thread through PMs to those you think might like this game to help draw more attention this way would be quite welcome.  Beyond that, relax and pull up a chair lol.

[Katra Alexion]

Just a quick question there Racaro: where would you like to start Serene off at? The Human world or Hell (Nyxvale)

[Racaro]

The human world, she was born there, and she's only slipping in and out of hell for very high paying jobs... but she's had very few of those. Though, what she'd gleamed from those small dives thwarted a devil or two from crossing over successfully.

[MissFire]

Name: Jacqueline Whitechapel
Alias: Jack The Ripper, The Ripper, Leather Apron, The Nemesis of Neglect, etc.
Age: 20's (120's)
Race: Half-Devil

Physical Description: Jack appears to be an attractive young woman in her early to mid-twenties. She has dark hair brilliant green eyes. Her figure is slender and athletic. She can usually be seen dressed in something comfortable with dark colors and patterns, though she is never seen without her signature bowler and umbrella. The umbrella, at a glance, simply appears to be a cheap black affair with a red rose charm dangling from the handle.

History: Jacqueline grew up in London, England in the late 1800's, the product of a half-devil mother and human father. When she was but a young girl, her mother slew her father during a heated argument and then fled their home, leaving the girl staring at her father's beheaded corpse. Alone, she had to fend for herself in a city that was notoriously rough at the time. But she did more than survive. She spent days working in factories (disguised as a boy), and many nights living in an alley over a heating grate while she taught herself how to read, write, work with machinery.. and fight. Jack spent her 'teenage' years searching for her mother - to murder her. Young Jack could sense low-level demons that loved to dress up as prostitutes and prey on the souls of men. She slew many of these demons during her quest for revenge, hoping that one of them would lead her to her mother. They never did. As Jacqueline grew up, her quest for revenge was put on the back burner and she simply satisfied herself with honing her combat skills and hunting down bigger and badder demons.

Styles:
-Cockney Clobbering: Jackie learned how to fight by watching bare-knuckle boxing matches and getting into street fights. She is adept at fighting in a boxing style, bobbing and weaving, and delivering all manner of punches. She can go toe-to-toe in this style, blocking, dodging or absorbing punches while dishing out her own attacks. The downside is that this is not a very mobile style of fighting, as she has to keep her feet planted.

-Rainmaker: Jackie fights with her umbrella in this style (see 'weapon' for more) and is very mobile. This style is of her own design and she has spent years upon years perfecting and honing combat with her unique little weapon. She is nearly adept with it as older demons like Dante and Vergil are with their swords. All told, however, the umbrella has shorter range than a sword and, while multi-functional, it's use as a weapon relies more of the opponent under-estimating her than anything else.

Powers: She has all the powers other half-devils exhibit; immense speed and strength, the ability to 'flash step' (moving so quickly she appears to teleport), leaping astounding distances, slow aging, astounding durability and stamina. She is, however, younger than either Dante, Vergil, or other half-devils - she has not unlocked any sort of Devil Trigger or higher powers that go along with her heritage.

Strength: Intelligent, studious, determined
Weakness: Arrogant, inexperienced
Profession: Bookstore Owner ("The Black Library", East End, London)
Weapons: "Rainmaker", Jack's custom-made umbrella. The parasol is made of astoundingly tough heat-resistant fabric that can be used to block all manner of weapons and bullets when it is open. Blades can pop out of the edges of the parasol if she depresses a hidden button, and the entire top can be made to spin at high speeds, turning it into a gruesome saw-type of weapon. The cap at the end is also multi-functional, it can be made to dispense flames, gas, a thin blade for fencing, or even a grappling hook. The little rose charm on the end is actually a grenade, which can be pulled off and thrown, or detonated by remote with a little button on her bowler (in case someone takes her umbrella).
Possessions: Bowler hat, Umbrella, Oyster card, about 50 pounds in money
Devil Arms: None

[Vergil1989]

MissFire, darlin, welcome to DMC!  At least, I love your sexy little number you have going here, but it's also up to Katra as well hun.  Still, good job, well thought out, and quite original on the weapon there lol.

[MissFire]

:P

Japanese games love unique weapons, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Then I found that picture and decided to make her into a historical serial killer. Hehe. Fitting for DMC's rather dark universe, I think.

[Katra Alexion]

Well the only thing I can say for your character Miss Fire... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!! :d:d:d

I never thought anyone would think to do a 'Jack the Ripper' but I must say that you pulled it off with amazing style. I wholeheartedly approved of it.

[Dorian Grandale]

Alright, here's the Red Disaster, finally.

Name: Dante, Twin Son of Sparda

Alias: The Red Disaster

Age: Unknown (looks 24)

Race: Half-demon/half-human

Physical Description:

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

History: Dante is the the youngest twin son of Sparda. After the death of his parents and the disappearance of his brother, Dante fully embraced his human heritage for a long time wanting nothing to do with the demonic influence that destroyed his family and drove his brother into becoming a vengeful power seeking individual. Dante's reluctance to having anything to do with his demonic heritage lasted well into his late teens when some friends of his accidentally got themselves involved in demon affairs forcing Dante to unleash his devil blood to save them. Once opening that door there was no going back for Dante, so he decided to put his abilities to good use and open up a Devil Hunting agency. Since then Dante has had some interesting fights to say the least battling some his father's old foes and preventing megalomaniacs from opening Hellgates. Along the way he managed to pick up a small group of like minded hunters that help out on various jobs, even managing to snag himself a lady fair in the form of quirk, devious sultry kitsune. A few highlights of his life is the supposed death of his twin brother Vergil and discovering an unknown younger brother, Nero. Right now it seems that a new power is on the rise seeking the Devil Arms and the power of the Sparda line in form of Yamato and the demon knight's progeny. Oh, well things were getting a bit boring as of late.

Styles: Swordmaster, Gunslinger and Trickster

Powers: Though not quiet as fast or exacting as his twin, Dante more than makes up for it in pure physical strength and endurance.

Strength: Strong, fast and enduring. Doesn't know when to quit and is intensely passionate and fiercely loyal to those few in his inner circle of what he considers family and friends

Weakness: Chronic flirting, pizza and strawberry ice cream. Cocky, arrogant and a consummate smart-ass. Has a bit of a sadistic streak in him.

Profession: Freelance Devil Hunter, Owner of Devil May Cry

Weapons: Rebellion, Ebony and Ivory

Possessions: Other than his Devil Arms, his trademark red coat, and his irrepressible attitude, not much else.

Devil Arms: Alastor

[Vergil1989]

It's time for the clown to bow out brother.   >:)  If you were ever serious about anything, you wouldn't have lost to me on the tower all that time ago.

Out of role now, I cannot wait to see what you can do DG.   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[MissFire]

I want to see a three-way fight between Vergil, Dante, and Jack. O.O

My eyeballs would melt at how epic it could be! I'm pretty sure mortal combat is how half-devils say 'hi'.

[Katra Alexion]

<Kei> *sultry shadow kitsune appears from the shadows of the Thread and looks at Dante* "About time you showed up handsome." *slinks over and drapes herself over against her Red Devil, affectionately nuzzling his neck*

Gm: Ah! Good of you to join us DG, was worried you weren't going to show up tonight.

Have to agree with you there Jack! It would be epic.

[Vergil1989]

MissFire, I have one even better for you.  You, Dante here, myself, and Nero in a four way slug fest.   >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:)

[Dorian Grandale]

*cackles* That would be awesome indeed. We'll see about it, yes. *rubs hands as he schemes*

<Dante> *hmms appreciatively* Hey babe, sorry I'm late.

[MissFire]

MissFire, I have one even better for you.  You, Dante here, myself, and Nero in a four way slug fest.   >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:) >:)

I almost feel sorry for poor Nero!

..almost

[Vergil1989]

(Vergil.)  If I had my Devil Arm right now, I'd gladly wipe that smirk off of your face brother.  Be it as it may, as soon as I find the one that holds it, I'll pry Yamato from his cold dead hands if I have to.

Translation;  As soon as he finds Nero, he'll carve off the man's demon arm if he has to just to get his sword back lol.

And, just to set the theme.  How about a bit of music?

Devil May Cry Anime Theme Song

[Katra Alexion]

<Nero> *scoffs at Vergil's statement with Yamato resting against a shoulder* "Bring it. Your not as intimidating as as you think you are. Seeing as your the one that got booted to a whole other hell dimension and all." >:) ;D "Sides, if I could kick the old fart's ass over there," *points to Dante* "You shouldn't be any harder."

[Racaro]

<Serene> Narrows her eyes in near disbelief at it all. Standing alone in the corner with her arms over her chest. "What children..."

[Katra Alexion]

GM: Yes they can be, but they are children with power to back up their posturing *lol*
