=====================================================================================
In the year 2020, the inevitable destruction of humanity looms. Terrorism and wars are at an all time high, a state of anarchy is spreading across the globe like wildfire, and villains from lore and legend are emerging to attack innocent people throughout the globe, each striving to establish their own domain. The god's themselves have become divided, with one side supporting the chaos and feeding it, and yet another side opposed to it, then with a third neutral party, determined to let the other gods hash the battle out, and fix whatever is left.

The evil gods have been the ones summoning the villains from myth and legend to battle. Those such as Morgan Le fay, Mordred, and Vlad the Impaler being among them.

However, the gods who have sided with the good have begun drawing heroes from the past to battle these villains. Heroes such as King Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, and other members of the great legends of heroes are emerging to do battle with the great evil that besets the world. These heroes have been given newer, younger reincarnated forms, and sent to a place known as the Hero's Banquet Hall, an uninhabited island which has been repurposed to serve as a training and staging area for the new force of heroes.

Together with regular soldiers from the nations of the NATO pact, the Heroes of the past have been preparing to take the battle once more to the enemy. Only one side can win. Order or Chaos.

====================================================================================
Hello, I have a few things I'd like you to know before you continue any further.

First off, this rp has minimum requirement of one paragraph (5-7 complete sentences) per post with a character, so if your not willing to satisfy that condition, my recommendation is to go ahead and click out, it just isn't worth wasting your time.

On that note however, assuming you do create a character it is important to note that it becomes "canon"
permanently, even if you leave this rp and vow never to return to it, please understand that I will be using them as a GM tool from there on out. If you don't think you could handle someone else using your creation after you leave, it's probably best not to look past here.

On a third note, as there will be minors involved, there will be a zero tolerance for any libertine type roleplaying. That isn't to say you don't have your cutesy hand holding, and maybe up to a bit of kissing, but for goodness sakes, if you wouldn't want your mother to read it, don't put it here.

And on a fourth and final note, there will never be a limited amount to the amount of rpers that are capable of
participating in this rp.

Thanks for reading.

Rules:
  1. The usual Iwaku rules
  2. No metagaming, godmodding, or creating Mary Sue characters. (I believe this is self explanatory)
  3. As stated in the disclaimer, always make certain you have a minimum of one paragraph (5-7 complete sentences) in your posts. However, i'd also like for it to be good quality as well, don't just shitpost, even if it takes you a bit to post
  4. If you plan to curse, do it sparingly, or if you plan to make a character that falls under the "CursesAlltheTimeforNoParticularReason" category, make sure it's a light swearing, avoid F-bombs, and higher tier swears. Because precision F-strikes work so much better.
  5. Include the name of your character at the top of your post, that way we know just whom your posting with. It should look like this:
Name of character

Post: posiknaonfonaksoif. oamsinf uanojkenf naiunf ksfn. inaoisnf inaosjnfolainnsf mia mniosnfais nnkvianmsof inaosjnf lkjkn kamsimf imai ijminmkajnso. kmiansijnf km iansi kmanjsnkfn im, kjnknajks.

  1. If you post in character, make sure you wait two posts before you go about posting again.
  2. IC drama should not become OOC drama, if you have a problem with a recent post or facts, or spotted something I missed, please make sure to notify me in pm, I will solve the problem accordingly.
  3. I feel as this is a very important thing to state, A GM's word is law. Please do not attempt to defy myself or any GM that I choose to work with me.
  4. Use common sense. If it isn't in the rules, but you think it's probably something you shouldn't do, don't do it. Better to ask me first.
  5. At the bottom of your character sheet please post a color of your choice to show you have read the rules.
  6. Good grammar and spelling is a must! If need be, you can run it by @conman2163, for help with spelling.

We have two systems for combat here. The first main one, which is the classic, on your honor, acknowledge the hits your opponent makes system, and a secondary optional system, that if given a majority vote in favor, allows the system to be used, the system is as follows

Combat Hit System

To keep things fair and ensure no problems occur out of people going back and forth attacking, The person who initiates an attack will roll a single die, using the "more options" tab, in the OOC in a post they make there. The number you roll will determine if it the attack lands, and if it lands, whether or not you get the full hit you describe. For these purposes, there will be no "one hit KO" unless the person taking the hit wants it to end that way, however, successive hits will mean that you are forcibly incapacitated by the GM if you don't acknowledge the damage. (The human body can only do so much ya know?) What you roll determines what you get, and this is the scale.

1 = a Critical Fail

2-5 = Fails how you interpret this fail is up to you

6-10 = You got it, but missed some details or something, what is missed is determined by defender, though it can't be too many things.

11-15= This is the middle of the road, little to no failure

16-19 = Little to no failure

20= Epic Moment

The person who makes the attack can roll a die, determining whether or not that hit lands. However, to keep everything equal, if the number that the person who attacking rolls is undesireable. Say they got an epic moment, the person defending from the hit may "reroll" the die in the OOC. However, the number that is rolled will take a +3 penalty modifier, meaning that even if you roll high, it could still have a chance to take you up on the scale, and therefor hurt you. Risk = Reward but Risk = Penalty too.


=======================================================================================
Prior to creating your character, check the bottom of this sticky post to see what legends and myths have been taken. In this RP, all legends and mystical heroes in every existing religion and lore exist. Please avoid any "Biblical" Type heroes though, I will not approve them to prevent arguments.

Appearance: (A preferably anime, fantasy, or drawn type picture, though I suppose a "Real Person" picture will do.)

Name:

Age:

Gender:

Weapon/tool: (It doesn't have to be something that harms someone else. Maybe you can support someone/something with your weapon? Maybe you have a weapon already associated with your character?)

Power: (This ability should start of as relatively low in power for plot and advancement reasons. Plot wise your character was just summoned from the afterlife to fight in a war, and them being summoned will take a lot out of them. They'll have to work their way up. If you'd like an example starting power, this would be it:

Subject A has the ability to summon fireballs at will. They can summon and throw up to three of these fireballs in a single post. However, summoning these fireballs takes a lot out of them, so they can only summon a maximum of twelve in a single battle)

Skills: (Are you a good tactician? Are you great at counting cards? Perhaps you are a great cook?)

Personality: Minimum of twenty words please.

Bio/legend: (You do not have to use a person from a legend if you don't want. You can create your own original character; a legend from the future or present, here as well. If you choose this route a bio with a minimum of 40 words is needed. If not, a link of the legend will suffice)

==================================================================================
So it may be confusing over how your character will get more powerful. When you character trains under his/her respective founder, after the end of each training session I will post a list of characters that are eligible for being upgraded power wise. Every time you upgrade you character you can choose either to add an extra ability that must start out on a base level, or to choose to up your current power a bit. So if you had a character who was able to throw fireballs to start with goes up in experience, no instead of just throwing one, maybe they can throw four, or if they could already throw multiple, maybe now they explode on contact with a surface.

It sounds a bit confusing now, but if you have more questions I'll answer them when the time comes for you to "upgrade" your character (Or just PM me of course), you'll post the following when you get to upgrade or add an extra ability.

Previous Power:

Upgraded power/ Added Ability:

Then from there I'll approve it or ask you to modify it.
But once again, you won't need to worry about it in the beginning. (Not that the "beginning" will last too long)

While your character is still approved, I need you to edit the seconds part in your power so that it is rated by posts instead.
 
Nevermind, I think I understand. Is that the part where you talked about the Combat System?
 
!kName Rama aka Parashurama

latest

Age Physically 16 real age unknown

Gender male

Weapon/tool: Divine weaponry
parshu ax

The Parashu (axe) was an unconquerable and indestructible divine weapon given to Lord Parashuramaby his Guru Lord Shiva along with other divine weapons due to the extreme devotion of LordParashurama. Lord Parashurama later gave this axe to Lord Ganesha. Parashurama means Rama who wields the axe as Rama was the name Lord Parashurama was known by till he acquired the axe from Lord Shiva.


, Vishnu's bow,
Sharanga is the bow of the Hindu God Vishnu. Other weapons of Vishnu include the Sudarshana Chakra, the Narayanastra, the Vaishnavastra, the Kaumodaki mace, Nandaka sword.
This bow was crafted by Viswakarma, the Cosmic architect and maker of weapons, along with the Pinaka, the bow of Lord Shiva. Once, Brahma wanted to know who was a better archer, Vishnu or Shiva. So created a quarrel between the two, which led to a terrible duel. The impact of their fight was such that the balance of the entire universe was disturbed. But soon Vishnu was able to paralyze Shiva with his arrows. All the Devas led by Brahma himself begged them to stop, declaring Vishnu the winner as he was able to stun Shiva.[1] [2] Enraged, Shiva gave hisPinaka bow to a king, who was an ancestor of King Janaka, the father of Sita. Vishnu too decided to do the same, and gave his bow to sage Richika. In time, Sharanga came into the possession of Parashurama, the sixth avatar of Vishnu and Richika's grandson. Parashurama gave it to Rama, the next incarnation of Vishnu after fulfilling his life's mission. Rama used it and gave to Varuna, the lord of the hydrosphere. In the Mahabharata, Varuna gives it to Krishna(ninth avatar of Vishnu) during the Khandava-dahana. Just before his death, Krishna returned it to Varuna by throwing it back into the ocean, Varuna's domain.
Sharanga again appears in the tale of duel between Lord krishna,the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu,and Shalva,the demon of mystical powers.Shalva is at one point,able to strike Krishna's left




Brahmas arrow

n Hindu History, the demi-god Rama (Ramachandra) faced the demon king of Sri-Lanka, Ravana. Rama shot arrows and knocked off each of Ravana's ten heads, but new ones grew immediately. The new heads doubled Ravana's strength. Finally, Rama fired the arrow of Brahma that had been imparted to him by Agastya, a sage and heavenly historian, while Rama,Sita, and Lakshmana were exiled in Dandaka Forest. The arrow of Brahma burst Ravana's navel which contained the elixer, and returned to Rama's quiver.

Divine Sword of Salvation, Mandala,Excalibur a weapon known by many names it eventually passed into the hands of Arthur Pendragon but as previously wielded by Rama which allows him summon any single weapon from his arsenal. this function can only be used twice a day.
Astra (weapon) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Power:
Divine Possession channel Divine power through a human body for a short time with a backslash of needing rest for a period of time


Incarnation manifest various aspects and skills of the avatars of Vishnu

having all his memories of his various lifetimes in this world has given him a wealth of skills and knowledge that have passed on to his current form but lacking the body he once had has weakened him .

Buddha avatar this is Rama's core avatar through this avatar he retains the memory and experience of the other avatars.

Parashurama warrior/priest mantras for summoning weapons and armour of the Divine origin as well as curses takes two posts to four posts to activate


skills:Tactician,junior weapons master,priest





Personality: beneficent and eloquent tempered by centuries of existing in both mortal and immortal forms experiencing the heights of royalty and the underside of suffering. He is a sympathetic and intellectual tempered by philosophy and wisdom. As Parashurama and Rama, he was a warrior of incredible prowess, and as Krishna, he was a caring and loving monarch. As Buddha, he learned transcendental meditation to acquire a higher level of existence to attain enlightenment and self-discovery.


Bio/legend: formally an avatar of Vishnu he retains the memories of his past thanks to his transcendent soul
Ravana's immortal reign subjugates the people. Shiva's boon grants the demon-king invulnerability against gods and beasts. Only mortal men stand a chance of defeating him, but Ravana's might is too potent for a mere man to overcome. All seems lost.
To save us, Vishnu took human form. Rama, prince of Ayodhya.
At age 16 he was already the perfect embodiment of man. Strong, humble, handsome, patient, devout; he is what mankind strives to be, yet, for all our flaws, can never reach.

i got the last song on his profile. For Aubrey despite the other 2 theme songs, I'd like people to focus more on the last song for Aubrey
 
I have a request, may I be a villain because i'm just really at a lose for a hero style character.
 
@Clyde holy crap that's a lot man. Really awesome stuff!
First off thank you.


I was really damn inspired.

It be nice to make Kaiser as a villain as well
 
So time for some fun with names;

Ambros in German means Immortal

Aubrey means "elf ruler" and Weiss was my romanticize of Weiß which technically means "white" all though I meant in this case white as in snow [schnee] and winter. Thus the Elf Ruler of Winter

Kaiser means to Severe

edit-

and technically the Elfey villain would be Kaiser's son who believed all the evil about Ambros

All I mean by rated by posts is the duration of the attacks need to be in posts instead of seconds.

@Dakota K5

I actually have a perfect role for you then. I ask that you PM me.

@Clyde

For now, I'll only be needing a singular villain. Since Dakota K5 is asking to only be a villain, ima give the role to him for now, but don't worry, there will be opportunities in the very near future. Straight out of the first event i'll have the heroes jumping into a second event, and that's where there is potential for several new villains.

However, I was curious as to whether or not anyone will chose something out of Arthurian legend, or Greek mythology. King Arthur had an entire round table of knights who qualify to be "heroes" after all, not to mention Arthur him/her self

I know right. What about Merlin.
 
@conman2163 I've edited my bio now :) I'd like to ask though, can my strongest attack go up to 3 posts or is that borderline OP for you? Perhaps it can even go up to 4? What's the max amount of posts until the effects of my character's attack wear off? And are these "posts" their posts, or anyone's posts?
 
Actually in some slightly obscure references Rama is tied to the legends of king arthur mind you this just talking about the back stories only because of the similarities of how they grew up
 
I'm interested in this and I'm halfway done making a character sheet. I'll be using someone from Greek Mythology.

To everyone involved,

Given that their is now 9 rpers total in this group, and that I am not on 24/7, I plan to take on an extra GM to keep things running smoothly. Anyone who is interested should notify me in PM. Please provide me with a paragraph (5-7 sentences) of reasons why you would make a good CO-GM. I will then review and select someone on a non biased basis. Anyone may ask to be CO GM.
