The Oddestsey II: Return to Odd

[alex_holt]

Well Ive been considering this for a little while now, so here it is.

Right now all I need are characters, one each and in theory Ill accept as many as are entered but I may pick and choose a little as to who is in the starting roster and then introduce others later depending on whim.

The only other thing is that I *might* manipulate this more by dealing with different players behind the scenes to make a better game, though of course if you tell each other then it wont work and things will be more boring.

Anyway a character entrant is as follows:

Name
Gender
Species Whatever you want as long as it is a maximum of 10ft tall. Doesnt have to be humanoid, can be your own creation or whatever. Obviously will need a description if not.
Physical description What your character looks like.
Clothing Whatever you want, though expect bulky armour to have a realistic effect on yor ability to move etc.
Equipment You may start with five items, one of which should probably be (but doesnt have to be) a weapon. Ammunition is counted with projectiles and anything dues ex machina will make me be unfair to you once we are in the story.
Abilities You may pick three abilities for your character to have, it can be anything - weapon skill, magic powers, super powers, technological prowess, psychic powers, or whatever. The only thing is dont put measures on it because Ill be interpretting those as well. Again, attempts at dues ex machina will result in me punishing you for it ingame.

Thisll start when I feel ready to start it and go wherever the whim takes me.... enjoy

I want to enter what will inevitably become a paragon of w00tiness but since I go away on Sunday its not really viable right now...

What are the chances of it still being going in September? I might be able to get involved then.

Who knows, itll be going as long as people keep enough itnerest to keep me interested or I manage to bring the story to a conclusion.

On a side note, I wont force the party to stick together or follow the option tree approach - you are perfectly able to attempt to kill one another. Its all going to be made up on the fly beyond a few ideas which I may or may not use. Im also intending to have overt dialogue minimized just to get a better flow to the story.

Players will also be encouraged to give their updates to me in private to further their own ends.

Expect at least three familiar faces.

Much as it would be amusing if he hit people with a (presumably dead?) samurai I presume you mean a samurai sword (katana?). If you want to keep it as just a samurai though thats fine, its more fun, lol.

Seems good though, the tree of life will do its job but probably not in quite the way you were thinking of. The seeing through solid objects is perhaps a little strong, but if you wanted to have something like it cant see through metal, requires great concentration to use OR can only see movement rather than detail then that would be perfectly fine, or if youve got any other ideas thats fine, but permenant x-ray vision would make it hard for anything to be a surprise.

i am getting these stats form a game i play on the xbox. enhanced vision is only used for about 5 seconds so its not permenant just used when needed. it can only see moving objects i.e. the enemy. yes a Katana . tree of life on the game is planted and stays there, so you cant take it with you. takes a while before you can plant another. and it has limited life span.

Since Alex has clearly put restrictions on entering myself in this, Ill reserve a spot while I invent a character :P

[alex_holt]

The Oddestsey II: Return to Odd

Awww... I was looking forward to writing someone using a samurai corpse as cudgel lol. But my idea for this tree of life definatly stays where its planted. But thats fine, you are in.

Frank: You can always tone it down a little to be balanced, for example, not knowing what will come out of the pockets and limiting to what would actually fit through an opening that size.

Leo: Looks good, you are in.

I was reffering to plot holes

[joey_picus]

The Oddestsey II: Return to Odd

Name: No official name, although generally referred to as either Giant Catfish or The Sucker
Gender: Male, although it doesnt make that much difference
Species: Plecostomus gigantensis sapiens, basically a giant (three metres long) suckermouth catfish with a brain capacity about one and a half times that of an intelligent human, very heavily armoured skin, and the ability to breathe air as well as extract oxygen from water. This is offset by the fact that he requires a small amount of moisture to survive, and his mobility on land is somewhat restricted.
Physical description: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Plecostomus_700.jpg/275px-Plecostomus_700.jpghttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...us_700.jpg/275 px-Plecostomus_700.jpg only bigger
Clothing: None as such, but does have a sort of neck pouch (if fish can have necks) which gives him some carrying capacity.
Equipment: An eight foot long wooden pole, two sets of underwater breathing apparatus, a petrol powered 35cc strimmer and a set of bound hardback volumes of Marcel Prousts € la recherche du temps perdu.
Abilities: Has psychic powers including strong telepathy, which is his main method of communicating with other beings. Can clamp on to and suck on things with an immense amount of force, and has an innate immunity to electric shocks.

Any problems?

Ready, with a little help from Alex:

NAME: Professor Reginald Fortescue Vengeance
GENDER: Male
SPECIES: British. Um, human
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 5ft 4, skinny figure, short brown hair, green eyes, pale complexion with occasional spots
CLOTHING: Black tuxedo with matching shoes, bulletproof top hat and high-collared cape. Oh and a bulletproof vest, just in case.
EQUIPMENT: A walking cane with a green gemstone atop, containing multiple weaponry like a giant Swiss Army knife. Screw the gemstone and a different weapon pops out. Was originally powered by a Chaos Emerald until a run-in with a disgruntled echidna. As such, the cane is now powered by a MarkMotor within the gemstone running at 36v and conceals a boatload of weaponry: a sword, helicoptor blades, a flamethrower, a laser rifle, a laser cutter, a feather duster (Dont ask), you name it, its got it. In case the cane backfires, the Prof also carries several small tools in his pockets to aid in tinkering.
ABILITIES: The Prof has the intellect of a criminal mastermind and is a technological genius, able to turn even random junk into a Doomsday Device of some sort; rather like the Anti-McGuyver. The Prof also happens to be a bit of a wimp. His jumpiness, however, gives him excellent reflexes and makes him rather tricky to catch. He is also a stickler for punctuality and prides himself on being witty.

On a side note, the Prof also has a particular hatred of magical beings, a mixture of prejudice and petty jealousy.
