[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game - Season II

@Castlemario
This happens. Most of us forum RPers are just busy with stuff. There will be days of silence. Especially since a good number of us are hooked on certain games. *cough* Fallout *cough* Warframe

Again, I advise that you don't multi-post. We've had this problem before and I'd rather we not do this again. Someone will read your revised Chara app and pass judgement. Just wait a while. Be patient.

@Castle

Hmmm...

Regarding the app, I looked through it and talked with others about it and have come to the decision that it will need more work.

One of the problems is that you chose a rather vague character, and what I mean by that is that in Undertale, there is not all to much information on him, possibly leaving you at a disadvantage when it comes to creating an app. It leaves you having to really look into the character and try and fill the blanks. At the same time, having simply, "Deceiving. If tricking anyone means more power, it'll happily do so.", as the personality leaves the character rather flat. You'll quickly find the character to be boring to RP as if that's his only personality trait. If you can't find any info on the personality, delve into the canon and dabble in the fan theories. Ask yourself, "what would Chara do if this situation happened to them, or that situation?" Give them flesh.

As for morality, We know he/she will try and possess people, but what about their morality? What would they do if they came across a small child in need, or are faced with a moral dilemma? It has to be elaborated upon.

Powers suffers the same problem. If possible, elaborate how this works and to what degree.



In the end, the app still suffers from a lack of information. It will need a little more work.

This place has tumbleweeds in it, needs some clearing out. So here's something I hate doing. Apps. So, here ya' go.

NPC Character of Choice: Red

Spoiler

Game of Origin: Undertale-Red (Tribute fan-game thingy)

Powers: Extremely adept with a blade that can slice through very, very tough things, seemingly able to slice the unsliceable.

Weapons: Her main weapon is a rapier-like shortsword, which she wields with extreme finesse, but, if truly needed, she can call upon a pair of powerful sentinels, capable of raining the battlefield with powerful energy attacks. Alongside those, she can call upon all kinds of gadgets, from bombs to large sawblades.

Weaknesses: She’s not invincible, and her stamina does have a limit. She prefers to end fights in a quick manner.

Appearance:

Spoiler

Normally, Red wears a mask over her face. This mask, although blank, can seemingly shift to accomadate facial features. Usually, the one facial feature visible is the eye. Her cloak is a bright red, the ribbon the same colour and the mask a pale white.



This is without her mask, with the same color as with it. Her eyes are a bright yellow, the tabard-like armor under her cloak being a dark navy blue aside from the symbol on it, which is simply white. The large runes to her sides are her sentinels.

Personality: Normally, they’re somewhat shy and prone to just leaving people be, but if you annoy her, she’s got a bit of a mean-streak. If you were to seriously fight her, she’d go all out, revealing a more serious, almost professional side.

Morality: Neutral Good

Biography: Not too much is known about her past, though she was mostly on her own when she wa young, later taken in by Undyne and the Royal Guard, with them being the only family she really has. Now in the outside world, she isn’t sure of any goal, or anything in general. She just feels a need to find her former Royal Guard, to find some sort of place to call home.

Traumas: They have a fear of being abandoned, after being alone for so long.

Notes: She occasionally likes watching anime (especially fight scenes), and has a voracious appetite after fighting.

NPC Character of Choice: Flowey

Spoiler

Game of Origin: Undertale

Power: Flowey can use magical attacks, extend very strong vines to encapsulate prey, and more potently, the ability to absorb human souls for power. If they ever got seven? They would become a god.

Weapons: Normally, no.

Weaknesses: On their own, they’re still just a flower. If you could get a good hit in, you’d probably be able to neutralize Flowey easily.

Appearance: Flowey is a large, 3ft tall golden flower (similar to a sunflower) with a face, which can shift on a whim to whatever Flowey chooses.

Spoiler

Personality: Flowey in terms of personality is fairly simple, spiteful, hateful, egotistical, sociopathic and with a god complex to boot (one which he can fill, if left to his own devices.)

Morality: Chaotic Evil

Biography: Beware, Undertale spoilers be below.

Spoiler

A long time ago, in Flowey’s universe, monsterkind were sealed beneath Mt. Ebott by a powerful magic barrier erected by seven of humanity’s finest magicians. As such, the only way to break the barrier would be to get seven SOULs.
A time after, and a human child fell into the Underground. Their name was Chara, and they were taken in after being found by one Asriel Dreemurr, son of the king and queen of the underground, Asgore and Toriel.

They adopted this child into their family, but Chara had other plans. Asriel and Chara grew to be close friends, and Chara exploited that to their advantage. Chara told Asriel their rather insane plan, and they reluctantly accepted.

Chara killed themselves, stuffing buttercups into their mouths. Before dying, they expressed one final wish to see the golden flowers of their hometown. Asriel absorbed Chara’s SOUL, and crossed the barrier, going out to the village. The villagers, seeing the dead child and thinking Asriel had done it, attacked them. Asriel survived, but was lethally wounded, as they returned to Asgore’s garden, fading into dust, it spreading all across the garden, where Asgore planted the Golden Flowers brought back in memory.

Skip to many years later. The royal scientist, after discovering the substance known as DETERMINATION, decided to have a little experiment. Injecting it into something that was neither human or monster, and of course, they decided to inject it into the very first Golden Flower which sprouted in the underground.

Asriel was reborn, as Flowey. Flowey the Flower. However, since they were neither human or monster… they had no soul, and thus, no ability to feel joy, or anything positive. And, with the added determination, they gained access to SAVE and LOAD, allowing them to manipulate timelines, and at first, they used it for good. But, as time wore on, they grew more resentful and spiteful, killing for fun, and soon enough, exhausted EVERY option, they did everything.

That was, until Frisk arrived. Frisk was but a child, but they possessed more Determination than they, cancelling out their ability to SAVE and LOAD. Before they could kill the child, Toriel intervened, and their adventure across the Underground began.

(Insert entire Undertale Pacifist/Neutral story here, yada yada yada)

After being transported to the real world, Flowey realized everything was a game. All that work and planning, and there was absolutely no way he wouldn’t lose. Though he had felt his past self, it faded quickly, spite, malice, and all around planning filling in those spots. He wa likely to be hunted down if everyone knew about him, so Flowey went into hiding, watching from the shadows, learning all he could. Turns out, he could go literally anywhere he pleased, long as it had some form of ground, and with the opportunities this world might have, he smiled.

He would become a god this time. He was sure of it.

Traumas: Flowey dearly misses their former and only friend Chara, but blots everything out with spite and insults.

Notes: None.

RED! <3
I was playing her game a couple of days ago and I adore her battle(s). Though I have yet to actually kill her nor can I even bring myself to do so.

I did it once and I hated myself for doing so. Still a good fight though.

I read through the apps and I think they are both good to go. Just need 2 more accepts for each.

@Mima

Looks all good to me.

@Mima
Was passing up on passing judgement on Flowey and Red because I didn't think it was fair for me to accept them, as I'd just returned. If no-one else has any objections, I'm ACCEPTING them.
There you go.

[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game - Season II

NPC Character of Choice: Chara

Spoiler

Game of Origin: Undertale

Power: None, for she is human.

Head canon/theory about this:
One might think that from her game that she would have something tied to a mystical form of "Determination" and the ability to "Save, Load, Reset, and Erase" but these are all relative to the medium which she was in as well as who and what she was interacting with.

Age: 19
Head canon keeps bouncing around when it comes to her age. Mainly because she can't be too old or too young according to my views. Also because other reasons. Now I'm running with the concept that she was 16 in the game and so tack on 3 years and you get 19.

Weapons: *Where are the knives?

Weaknesses: Physically she is like any regular human. Emotionally she is weak to certain situations and can snap accordingly.

Appearance:


Personality: Mischievous and an overall troublemaker who has a dark sense of humor that tends to enjoy others' pain. Easily set into a questioning mindset which causes her to reflect on what she has done.

She tends to "flip" between light and dark spirited comments.

Head canon/theory: I'm a believer of the "Narrator Chara" theory as well as the notion that Chara herself is not pure evil, rather that what darkness that is in her heart is either concentrated or removed depending on the actions of the player. Thus she is by default equal parts good and evil but leans more towards the dark side.

Morality: Chaotic Evil with a side of Neutral Evil

Biography: When she was pulled into the real world, she was confused. When she met others that knew who she was, she was greeted either with fear or uncertainty. When she found out why some people acted strangely around her, she found herself asking questions. "What am I?" Was the main one she had. The discovery about the fact she was pulled from a game where the only time she was portrayed physically was as some sort of demonic child confused her since her memories were of a different time. Her memories aligned with the other routes. She knew Frisk, she knew that she inhabited their body and helped guide them. She recalled the monsters they met, and the instances where they killed them. She didn't feel guilt as much as she probably should since she knew those were other timelines. She felt distant from it all. The memories sometimes felt foreign to her.

With everything she knew about her game and the world she now inhabited, she decided it was best to not try and draw attention to herself. She still felt a slight hatred to all humanity but there was nothing she could do about it. Suicide tempted her but she was now afraid to do it should that somehow cause her to turn her into the demon everyone thought she was. She dared not test it since she knew that there were other characters that could easily defeat a demon. Thus she lived a quiet life. She lived as a a character that was just a regular human.

But there are those that would not let her.

Chara lives in Germany, not far from the Cologne Chocolate Museum. With what gold she had she was able to settle into an apartment on the outskirts of the city and purchase a moped as her main mode of transportation.

Spoiler

Traumas: Troubled by what she heard about the "Genocide run" and her demonic alternative, she often reflects on the "what if..." Scenarios of what she could of been.

Notes:
Additional head canon stuff:
- good at both gardening and knitting.
- loves dark chocolate
- mentally narrates what she or someone else is doing, sometimes mumbling what she's thinking.
- loves puns
- loves dogs
- a natural prankster
- manipulative
- hates diets
- is secretly a nerd.
- will actively deny being a nerd.

Name: Tewi_Inaba

Timezone: EST

NPC Character of Choice: THE GREAT PAPYRUS!!

Game of Origin: Undertale

Power: Papyrus can summon a seemingly limitless number of bones to be used as projectiles or melee weapons. His blue atack prevents his foes from flying or hovering and just generally limits their mobility

Weapons: BONES

Weaknesses: Papyrus has all the same weaknesses of normal monsters from the underground as well as being too kind for his own good. Papyrus couldn't kill anyone, not due to a lack of power but due to a lack of any desire to harm them.

Appearance:

Personality: Papyrus is very energetic and enthusiastic. He loves to make and eat spaghetti as well as make and solve puzzles. He tries his hardest to be a "Cool Dude" by becoming a member of the royal guard so that people will respect him and want to be his friend. But despite how strong he gets or how hard he trains, he is never let into the guard due to him being to naive and kindhearted. Even when Papyrus manages to capture frisk, he doesn't realize that handing the human over to Undyne would essentially be a death sentence.

Papyrus believes that anyone can be a good person if they try hard enough and that no one is beyond redemption. He'll show mercy where there is only violence, kindness where there is only cruelty and love where there is only hatred.

Papyrus is also very child like. He sleeps in a race car bed and his brother reads him bed time stories every night before he falls asleep. He has a tacky sense of taste that most people would find silly or lame, but in his eyes are truly awesome.

Ironically, the only thing he finds to be uncool or nerdy are his brother's bad puns. although he still finds them funny on occasion he hates himself for laughing or smiling at them.

Morality: Lawful Good

Biography: After leaving the underground Papyrus and his brother went separate ways. Papyrus went on to find new fame as the mascot of a spaghetti company and lives out his days making friends with everyone and anyone who wants to buy his spaghetti. He often checks in on his brother and Toriel and Frisk to see how they are doing.

Traumas: Papyrus openly admits to being afraid of the human if they do a no mercy or genocide run and spare him. Papyrus would likely be afraid of any powerful evil character, but he would still try to help them. Papyrus would also be devastated if his bother Sans or any of his friends were to be killed.
