OOC - Welcome to the Real

Okay, I've always wanted to do something like this.

For an indeterminate ammount of players and for a plot that is just going to have to be player driven, here is the challenge: pick a character from any fictional work, at any point in their canon story, and pull them into the real world.

No, I'm not going to explain how this happens. That's not important. I just want to see some interactions between fictional characters that otherwise wouldn't make contact with each other. I want to do the ultimate crossover.

Any ideas?

bump

Where am I? ok, I'll be back

Does it need to be well known cannon or recognizable cannon? By that I mean am I limited to say Superman, Wolverine, King Arthur and other people that I should expect the average reader to recognize or can I play Kusanagi (Blueseed Anime), Clock King (Batman) or Alec Trevelyon (Goldeneye) or can I play charachters from my own fictions?

How do you want powers to function in the real world also is kinda important? Even if the how and why isn't instantly apparent it seems that you should have a plan.

Okay, yes they do need to be nominally recognizeable, but I would think that 006 would be fucking awesome for something like this. As for powers and such, well, it all depends on whether or not this will evolve into a super-hero play, which, as I said: player driven plot. What do you want to play?

Oh, and Brightwell, the characters will not be aware that they are/were fictional. That should be part of the soul of the story. If anyone of you reading this has ever seen Fushigi Yugi: The Mysterious Play, then you know how much it can possibly wierd someone out to be told that they are just a character in some book, or a movie in the case of Last Action Hero, even though Arnie's character seemed to just move on as if oblivious to it all.

Would a T 1000 be stretching it?

If not, I could play a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101... either way it would kick ass.

can i play deadpool and his little yellow boxes?

I'll give it a try, I think I'm gonna try out David Xanatos of Gargoyles.

You'll be consigning yourself to the role of villain unless someone wants to pla one of the Connors clan, but I don't see why not.

You're going to have to explain that one. Deadpool, I know, but...little yellow boxes?

That's awesome. Coolness.

Well, we don't have a villain yet, so that would work out just fine.


Unless, someone has a wicked idea to take a T1000 and reprogram it for the benefit of their own character? I'll take any decent idea people wanna throw out.

David Xanatos is a bit of a tweener to be honest, easily enough switched into an evil role if we need an antagonist.

How much of our support structure comes with us to the real world? I mean the T-1000 (which seems cool if awkardly personalityless) Just what we are wearing I would assume?

I'm asking because people like Lex Luthor and Xanatos (and even Batman once he runs out of whatever was in his belt) are considerably weaker without their fortunes. Many other charachters have similar power sources Green Lantern for instance becomes a normal guy after just a few days if he can't recharge the ring.

That is what the experiment is basically going to be all about, because, yes, those are very good points you have there.

And Pooh, you just HAVE to play that, because it's just too awesome not to, now that I think about it.

Oh, and I started the thread.

I guess we'll figure it out eventually as too how much information we get.

You know, I would have no problem with this being one of those stories that has no good guys. In fact, that would be fucking awesome.

Can I play Q?

If you have no problem with him not being Q anymore, sure. Sorry, but that's just a little too much power. However, it would definately be a shock to his system, if you really want to have to play that.

Ok your right, I will think of someone else, I don't think I could play Q as not Q properly.

Ok here's the joke question before I get serious, Can I play a Tribble? HAHAHA, yes that's a joke.

Now on to the truthful one to play.

I would ask to play a Post 7th year Harry Potter, but I don't want to give any spoilers for people that haven't read the book yet, so how about one of the following.
1, James Bond
2, Dr Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk
3. Matt Murdock/Daredevil

I think 007 would be best, because when it comes right down to it, James Bond is SO not a nice guy.

Unless we are in a straight drama good guys and bad guys will natrually develope. Even in Jason vs Freddy somebody started it.

That said I think we need solid idea on how much power is too much power. You shot down Q but we have a T-1000 running around and a guy in a cyber suit that flies and shoots lasers.

That cyber-suit is going to run down on power really soon, and he is about to have a very rude awakening when he tries to go home to his office. He is basically going to have to start back over from scratch.

As for the cyborg, we are pullng out some incredibly smart people here. Sarah Conor's big problem was her inability to adapt to the situation. Reese had to drag her along for the first 3/4 of the movie. These guys aren't going to have that particular problem. We have some very proactive characters so far. If we had a T-2000 or a T-X, that would be a problem.

The reason I shot down Q is that he is a god. Pure and simple. I'm sorry, but no. That would just be too much.

I've been running games of one type or another for long enough that I'm a pretty good judge of wat is over-powered and what isn't. If you disagree, let me know, and I'll try to explain my logic.

I will keep my arguing to a minimum as long as thing run smoothy but I'll be honest.

I was pretty much planning on the suit running down sooner than later and him working on reparing it being his primary motivation atleast in the early going of this RP.

Duh, he's in the real world and has no support structure, all he's got is the money in his wallet (which I figure for someone who is supposedly a Bill Gates equivalent claiming he has a solid thousand in cash isn't unreasonable. His credit is now useless though.

The Q is no more God that Batman or Xanatos, he can make damn near anything he needs givin, a great Research and Developement lab powered by the entire British Economy. Hell my charachter is better than Q. In addition to being a genius who builds whatever he wants he's also well versed in the mystic ad martial arts. Xanatos>Q any day of the week (unless we are comparing number of times on the big screen)

To top that off we have a T-1000 that even with the suit Xanatos would be hard pressed to beat and without it the only reason he wouldn't just kill us is because he doesn't want to.

You are mistaking the T-800 (Arnold) with the T-1000. We have a liquid metal monster that can only be killed (so far as we know) by being dumped in lava. Anything else he's gonna recover and damn fast. he can run at 60mph (at least) so we can't esape, barely in cars. He can disguise himself as anybody (if we have bad roleplayers that won't matter, but we have super strong, super fast, shape shifter who can make weapons out of his body. Oh yeah and other generla shapes, like turning into a floor or oozing through a keyhole.

That said I just want you to consider it, this is your RP and I won't fight you on how you want it run when all is said and done. I would like to find an RP that is long running and successful and I feel that this has potential, if not for that I'd just STFU and abandon thread as I probably will with another thread I'm in cus nobody can RP to save their lives.

No problem. I enjoy intellectual discourse, and this is just that.

Indeed.

Duh, he's in the real world and has no support structure, all he's got is the money in his wallet (which I figure for someone who is supposedly a Bill Gates equivalent claiming he has a solid thousand in cash isn't unreasonable. His credit is now useless though.

If you want to run it like that, sure. If he has the money, he has the money, but just like Bill Gates, its entirely possible that he doesn't carry that kind of cash on him, especially to a fight, which is where he was just prior to transport. In any case, that is your call.

The Q is no more God that Batman or Xanatos, he can make damn near anything he needs givin, a great Research and Developement lab powered by the entire British Economy.

Dude, different Q.

To top that off we have a T-1000 that even with the suit Xanatos would be hard pressed to beat and without it the only reason he wouldn't just kill us is because he doesn't want to.

You're right, I was confusing the T-1000 with the T-800. Pooh, you are going to be playing the meat-wrapped robot, right?

I hope that doesn't become an issue. And I'm sorry to hear about your other project.

If it is a question of power, I can play the 800 model, that is no problem. I don't want anyone pulling out because one of the bad guys is just too overpowering.

It's been proven several times that a T 800 can be killed by humans with today's technology, so he is a defeatable foe... not an easily, but possible.

Especially if you know what you are up against.

I'm glad you don't mind people making their own points.

I figure a thousand isn't THAT much, not when you take into account that he doesn't have a bank account or anything else. The alternative is him just jumping the first couple people he meets afterwards, but unless we are going to have a "god" charachter that handles things like cops and random PC's I figure I should keep i clean and concentrate on interaction and thus try to speed to getting us together. Hense my being in Chicago rather than New York or you know, anywhere.

You're right, I was thinking of a differeng Q. Since I'd brought up Alec and somebody else had been talking about Bond I assumed that it was the Q from the Bondverse, (also I don't watch Star Trek so I didn't even know they had a Q) We'll call it even since you were thinking the wrong model of Terminator and a T-1000. Like I said the T-1000 is a MUCH bigger deal for any number of reasons than the meat wrapped robot. Meat wrapped robots fall in holes, they might get caught in snares, walls are barriers for them not something to punch a hole in and ooze through.

That said as long as the T-1000 is the best/ one of the better RPers on the thread he could server very well as that sort of "god" villian that keeps the rest of the villians who (like mine) are going to be largely on the defense for a while from being evil. Sort of the force of nature that creeps up if all else slips. If not you as the thread starter might want to pick up some kind of rediculously overpowered charachter as the prime mover of the sl.

Edit: To be fair even the T-800 is a tough customer it takes several humansw who know what they are up against and are under semi-ideal circumstances. It's not like Reese had a plan other than run and pray and he knew what he was fighting. Hell if nothing else a headshot for my charachter (maskless) would kill him, the same is true of any Terminator.

More it wasn't really qualified what kinds of fictional charachters are we allowed. Don't forget that Superman, Doomsday and Darkside are all part of teh same universe as Batman. My big point being that the power roof if not set in stone is gonna get pretty extreme rather soon.

At least judging by the first two posts (one of which is mine) it sems that we have actual RP'sers with some knowledge.
