No need to fret! I def haven't read as much fan fiction, but I feel you on the whole hardcore potterhead thing lol. I have zero intention of using magic in an OP way (though if you feel that I do end up doing something silly, obviously feel free to let me know and I will happily change anything that needs changing), but yeah haha I'm also a HUGE Harry Potter fan~ xP

As for the five possessions -- I'm still deciding on them... That's why they're not listed yet, haha I've gotta think about it a little more. But I know the wand will be one of them, so I listed that one. When I decide on the other four, I'll let you know!

And in regards to the houses thing -- that is so true! My friends and I are always talking about how we think everyone has, like, a "secondary" house, if you will. :P Anywho, I'm really excited to play an HP character in a not HP universe. Dis gon' be fuuuuuun~

Oh Soul Eater, I love that show because it's so out there but it's so well done. It's a concept they made up and made up well.

As far as your character, you're approved. :)

I like it, if confused about how stands and everything work. However, if a stand is a physical item it needs to be one of his possessions. Once that's cleared up I'll say you're good to go. :)

Oh, think of a Stand as like a spirit. It's something the user can summon from their bodies. Like this.

It wasn't in the Rules of Stands for some reason, but they can typically only be seen by other Stand users. For the sake of the RP we could say anyone can see them, though, depending on what you want.


Just ask if you want clarifications on Hamon/Stands.
 
eeuuggh I just realized how similar Paul is to Dave Strider

I swear it wasn't intentional, Paul was adapted from an independent OC who was created before I even knew what Homestuck was ;-;
 
Moogle-Girl said:
Thanks! This is gonna be a long one, sorry. c:

Name: Paul Derick
Age (18-22): 18
Gender: Male

Looks: Paul keeps himself looking good at all times, with clear skin, lint-free clothes, and a movie star smile. The only thing he can't seem to manage is his short brown hair, which tends to do whatever it wants; he keeps it covered at all times with a poofy orange hat emblazoned with a bold black "Q". He is fairly short for his age and somewhat pudgy-looking, with a small, rounded nose and large, expressive blue eyes -- not that you'd ever know, since he always keep them covered as well, this time with a rounded pair of sunglasses with dark, shiny lenses. Everything about him, from the way he dresses to the way he carries himself, says class and importance. He especially likes to call attention to the jeweled rings on his fingers.

Fandom/Universe: Homestuck
Fandom/Universe Short Description: The core of HS's universe is an interdimensional computer game called Sburb. Its origins are impossible to trace, but in short, it is the way that universes propagate. When you play the game, it becomes real, and your home planet is destroyed by meteors -- but this is only a small sacrifice. Should you conquer the innumerable trials set before you, your victory will be rewarded with free reign in an entirely new universe of your own creation. Time shenanigans, silly terminology, convoluted plots, and video game mechanics made real abound.

Family: Due to Sburb's aforementioned destruction of his home world, Mundus, Paul's only surviving family is his 16-year-old brother, Patrick (Patt for short), who is also playing the game.

Current Relationship Status: Single and ready to mingle, but starting to face terrifying paranoia that he might be gay. Do not bring it up. He'll probably get super defensive about it if you do.

Biography: Before Sburb, Paul worked in a novelty pizza restaurant called Pizza Palace. Though his brother got fed up with the business and quit some time ago, Paul always loved his job. He apprenticed under several local chefs, even tutoring briefly under the world-renowned Chet Flambi, and eventually climbed the ranks to become Pizza Palace's head chef. Pizza was his life.

Until the game started, of course. Paul didn't have much say in the matter, nor would he ever want to put his comfortable life at risk; someone nearby started playing the game, and suddenly there were deadly meteors flying for his house. At that point it was either acquire a copy and enter the game, or die. Luckily Patrick was around to help him with the initial fights until he found his footing. The world they originally came from had plentiful magic and no official law enforcement meant that fighting skills were a must, but Paul had always gone out of his way to avoid all that crap.

Your Role Play Schedule: I check in several times a day, but I only write posts when inspiration and motivation hit me. This usually averages out to once every 2-3 days.

Powers/Strengths:
Fetch Modus: In the Homestuck world, everyone has an inventory called a "sylladex." It basically functions like any classic video game inventory, just with silly terminology -- items are "captchalogued" into "captchalogue cards" and can be retrieved according to rules set by their "fetch modus." Modii often resemble data structures, but they can also mimic board games or something similarly esoteric. Without going into too much detail on Paul's modus, what this means for the RP's sake is that he can carry up to ten things of reasonable size (another person would be too big to captchalogue) without being "weighed down" and retrieve them from thin air at will. Just think of it like a small video game inventory, only real.

Title: All Sburb players are gifted with a "class" and an "aspect," which together form their title. You can think of the class as a type of RPG character, like warrior or mage or healer, and the aspect like their element -- one details how the powers are used and their overarching role, and the other governs the nature of the powers themselves. Paul's role is Knight of Mind. Knights exploit their aspect as a weapon, and Mind deals with decisions, mental energy (as opposed to physical energy), and direction for oneself. All Paul figured out before he was zapped away (again) is that his role deals specifically with alternate timelines, and something about mirrors.

Communication through dreams: Those who are destined to play Sburb have a physical "dream self" that wakes up on a different planet -- in Paul's case, Derse, the kingdom of darkness -- when they go to sleep. This makes their dreams particularly lucid, and always in the same place. But now that Paul is out of Sburb's "reach," so to speak, wherever he dreams now, it sure as hell ain't Derse. Just some endless black void. But soon he'll figure out that he can pull others into this void too, and whatever happens there sticks in their memories even after they wake up.

Street smarts: Working in a popular pizza restaurant on a planet known for its species diversity, Paul has seen all kinds of crazy customers, from battle-hungry five-year-olds to literal dragons. He's jaded to the idea of magic, so it's not easy to catch him off guard. And since he actively avoids getting himself into insane quests and mystical journeys, he knows his way around an ordinary city block.

Weaknesses:
Fistkind: Paul doesn't have any formal weapons training, nor does he really want it. When he fights, he does so with his fists; while Sburb has artificially increased his strength slightly to give him a fighting chance, he's obviously at a huge disadvantage against people with more experience.

Poor attitude: There's no mincing words, really. Paul is kind of an asshole. Lording over others is where he feels most comfortable. When other people don't give him what he wants, he's not above striking up an argument. When faced with tough challenges, however, he buckles into cowardice, often choosing to back down and let other people handle it for him. While still trying to appear as cool as possible, of course.


5 Possessions and Clothing:
Clothes: Since Sburb supplies a process for combining objects together in insane ways, Paul was able to fashion the perfect outfit for him. He wears a dark orange suit tailored especially for him, complete with a black tie, fashionable shoes, and jewelry adorning his fingers. And as mentioned in his appearance, you'll never see him without his poofy orange hat with the Q on it or his impenetrably dark sunglasses.

Possessions:
Paul has no need for a bookbag; everything he has on-hand is kept in his sylladex.
- A small pocket mirror
- A spare suit, this one a dark blue color instead
- A turtle skull
- A slice of novelty chocolate pizza, kept fresh by his sylladex
- A wallet containing a few boonbucks (Sburb currency) and about 70 aurums (Mundusian currency, now useless)


Current Occupation: He doesn't like to think about Pizza Palace being destroyed by meteors. Please don't mention it to him.

OKay so I went to see what the whole homestuck deal is yesterday when I read that you wanted to use that fandom. I'm not gonna lie, it makes me nervous. The concept of Homestuck is a good one, and though I didn't get very far before deeming it 'eh' I feel like it was well written However, Homestuck is largely illustrated, and it is just one perpetual joke. I'm not sure if that medium will work well with what is inherently a romance. However, I assume you know better, so as long as you write like a normal RP-er in the game, I'm fine, and you're approved.

Nope, I think I've got it. You'll probably end up explaining it to the other characters though, xD

Then can she have a pet owl then? I was kinda thinking that Fianna is having trust issues so iif she have a pet, she'll be having episodes where she was just constantly talking to it and telling the owl her secrets. Anyway, I can change the dragon and choose a completely new possession.

As for the hair, I'll just say that she started dyeing it at the age 15
Click to expand...
No... Sorry, I've read the first 3 books and I just don't see pets being a part of it. Honestly, how would she have time for a pet? Where would she get a pet owl? She's basically from our universe, and we don't have pet owls.

As far as the hair, sounds good.

Just get these edits made and you're good to go. :)

Can...can I make a female?

I notice that you have a male character approved, and we're at the max for people so I'm going to have to enforce my one character per player rule, sorry, :(
 
Yeah I misread something. Meant to delete that question, as someone answered it for me.
 
DapperDogman said:
So...Assuming we don't get paired with someone who mutually wants to be with us, is going off script an option?

Or are we really going to be stuck with someone who our characters won't like as much?
Click to expand...
I'm going to pair the characters after they've played for a bit, and not all at once. Part of this is so I make sure that they are compatible. So yes, my rule is god on that, but you just have to end up with your match, you don't have to start there.

That being said I will try and make sure that everyone is compatible.

Name: Rosalyn Peterson
Age: 18
Gender: Female

Looks: (Friend drew this for me, hah)
wa3ez4.jpg
(Dress is yellow and brown, hair is a dark auburn, kthnx)


Fandom/Universe: Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Fandom/Universe Short Description: In a world deteriorating do to the effects of entropy, an alien race known as the Incubators invented Magical Girls as a way of producing energy. When a Magical Girl falls into total despair, she will become an extremelyy powerful Witch that no longer fully exists in our dimension, only being able to be seen and attacked by magic users... but most Magical Girls are unaware of their eventual demise.

Family: Rosalyn has no family to speak of, having grown up an Orphan in the middle of New York.
Current Relationship Status: Single

Biography: Rosalyn was a simple girl in the middle of New York, going from foster home to foster home, taking advanced courses in school, and dreaming of a day when she could finally be happy. An incubator known as Nibeey came to her one day, promising her that with one wish she could have her innermost desire fulfilled, but in return she must lay down her life fighting witches and saving the universe. She more than happily agreed in an instant, a smile plastered on her face as she remembered every foster parent she loved, ever friend she made before everything was ripped away from her. She wished that no matter what happened, nobody could take her happiness away again. Now she lives her life destroying witches with Thunder and Lightning at the tip of her deadly lances. Unbeknowingly, her wish made it nigh impossible for her to ever become a witch, so for 6 years she has been one of the most stable Magical Girls to ever exist, and by extent being very powerful for her universe.
Over the years, despite her happiness keeping her company, she's turned the route of a loner, making few friends and constantly looking for new areas to explore. One night she fell asleep and dreamt of her heart bursting with love, and woke up in a strange, strange world.

Your Role Play Schedule: Pretty much online all the time, will post weekly when needed as the rest of my roleplay's schedules permits

Powers/Strengths:
- Lance Magic: Can summon lances of various sizes and shapes to fight with.
- Thunder Magic: Can create and control electrity at will
- Virtual Immortality: Her body can be repeatedly healed to peak condition as long as her Soul Gem remains in tact.
- Unbreakable Smile: Do to her wish Rosalyn's happiness and joy cannot be extinguished by typical means

-In case of Witchification, Rosalyn would gain the power to create a pocket dimension known as a labrynth and countless minions, but lose the ability to think straight if even keep her sanity.


Weaknesses:
- Soul Gem: Her soul has been bound to a physical crystal called a soul gem, if it is destroyed she will die
- Witchification: If she grows a "curse" or a strong negative feeling inside her heart without purifying her soul gem via grief seeds she will become a witch and lose control of herself, both gaining power and losing an extent of psychological soundness. Due to her wish, however, the liklihood of this happening is small.

5 Possessions and Clothing:
- Soul Gem
- 2 Unused Grief Seeds
- Needle
- Thread

Current Occupation: Student/Magical Girl

Ahh Magical Girl! This is great! :D

Yes, she's approved!
 
So would sign ups be closed for males?
 
Honestly, Star Platinum would be one thing I'd have said would have to be...well...nerfed

Given it's full potential powers, I'd hate to spoil the series, so I won't say it aloud, but yeah...

We're probably going to say Joshua doesn't know about that last little trick and leave it at that

Homestuck actually isn't an elaborate joke, it's actually fairly serious, it just throws some less than serious shenanigans out there to break some of the tension. The fandom pretty much circulates around shipping characters and the relationships between them. Romance in Homestuck is actually a pretty big deal and the characters tend to deal with it seriously. You have no need to be worried, hun,

I already spoiled it in the CS, though put a warning at the top.

Eh, given we have a DBZ character in here, 5 seconds of ZA WARUDOing isn't so bad. Especially if he can go SSJ2. Solar-system destroying Kamehameha waves...

Skill Killer is going to be the bane of everyone with an excessive amount of power XD

Simply put "The bigger you are, the harder you fall" sums the skill up perfectly
