Hello guys. This is an old rp idea I'd been working on for the past year or too, but haven't gotten to really use. So, I thought I'd try it here.

Premise
This is a co-op adventure rp set in a semi-futuristic Earth. This setting combines by real and fictional regions from various fandoms, such as Equestria or Hogwarts Academy and so on. The overall goal is to travel to different parts of the world that have been occupied by a powerful army led by a mysterious being and liberate them.

The Story
Life so far has been rather peaceful on your end, aside from an occasional mishap. However, there have been several reports of people going missing all around the world, and several others being found dead. While the cause of this is unknown by the media, you have heard rumors them being connected to a group known as 'The Collective'. You also hear this group is recruiting people for a plot to take over the world.

You don't believe these rumors at first. However, you are approached by a group of suits, lead by a man referring to himself by the rank of Ace, Blademaster, Commando or Priest. This man will explain that he represents the 'collective' and they have taken great interest in your skills, be it combative or otherwise. They offer you power and privilage in the new world order they hope to establish in the near future.

For whatever reason, you refuse, and this does not bode well with them. Hence, they attempt to kill you, forcing you to defeat or escape them. However, a few days later, the nations of the United States, China, United Kingdom and Brazil are attacked and quickly conquered by a force calling itself 'The Collective'. With four of the most powerful nations taken over, the Collective's influence is quickly spreading like cancer as neighboring nations also fall to its dominion.

During the fighting, you escape to Nubia, Africa where you and several others gather to plan a counter attack. While the coming days seem perilous, you refuse to give up the world without a fight

Knowing your enemy
In this rp, you will face a The Collective, which is a force made up characters from various fandom as well as original characters. They are as follows

The mysterious shadow-leader of The Collective. Until today, many have questioned whether or not he, she or it even exists. While it is unknown how The Collector managed to keep its presence and actions hidden until now. One thing is certain, The Collector intends to rule over Earth and then the rest of the universe as its god and it has many powerful people and weapons at his disposal.

The Grand Four is The Collector's four generals who also act as The Collector's governors for the regions The Collective had taken over. Each member of The Grand Four represent one of four combative skills; melee, marksmanship, mysticism and mecha.


Also known as 'The Ogre', Yujiro is widely considered the most powerful martial artist, if not the most powerful being on Earth. He has mastered many fighting arts, including-but not limited to: karate, boxing, taekwondo, judo, jujutsu, wrestling, street-fighting.

From fighting and defeating both Vietgong and US forces in Vietnam with his bare hands, to stopping an earthquake with a single punch; Yujiro's abilities far exceed what is physically possible by even some of the most deadly animals on Earth... Which he makes sport of killing with his bare hands as well.

Yujiro is in charge of the US, the Carribean and Canada and is currently making short work of Mexico and Puerto Rico.



Forget everything you thought you knew of this seemingly cute and innocent mouse. While regarded as a beloved mascot by the general public, the magic community know Mickey as possibly the most terrifying mage in existence. However, some argue, "But, Mickey Mouse is a swordsman, not a mage! He has never been seen using more than a keyblade or a gun to some lesser extents!"

These scholars often forget, that Mickey was once the apprentice of the legendary sorcerer, Yen Sid, until his untimely death by the hands of said pupil. This was the first and last time Mickey found himself needing to use magic in battle.

Under The Collector, Mickey currently heads The Collective's territories in the United Kingdom, France and Germany, and are heading for Switzerland.



Not much is known of 'The Three Armed Gunslinger'. But, what is known is that his skills as a gunslinger are unmatched and he, or better it are nigh destructible. Everytime Justice is killed, it merely needs to absorb blood and it will regenerate back to a state of perfect health.

Justice currently governs The Collective's Brazil territory and is quickly spread it to Colombia, Bolivia and Peru



The formerly known as 'Megatron', Galvatron was reconstructed by a being known as Unicron before being destroyed again by Optimus Prime. Since then, Galvatron was found by The Collector who restored him to his former power... For a price.

In robot mode, Galvatron is armed with an accelerator cannon that can fire electrochemical energy, particle beams and other types. When transformed into his Howitzer Cannon mode, his destructive power is further enhanced. Galvatron also possesses great strength and combative skill, but his sanity is extremely questionable...

Galvatron is in charge of Collective occupied China and Korea and is currently attacking Japan and Thailand.

The Collective's army is broken up into battalions of five; four common soldiers under one leader. These battalions come in four categories:

Soldiers who specilize in close quarters melee combat. These battalions have three classes;

-One of two types of common melee soldiers. Legions are heavily-armored warriors wielding giant greatswords [http://www.wiids.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/tenebra.jpg] which they can also use as cover from projectile fire. Beyond this, Legions are skilled unarmed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MapBDWicGco&t=2m18s] combatants. However, running around in dense armor and carrying a large and heavy sword makes them somewhat slow and lacking agility.

-Shadows are much stealthier soldiers that wield a kusarigama and have blades attached to their wrists and feet. While much faster and more agile than their Legion comrades, their armor is much lighter, making them more susceptible to damage and not as physically strong.

-Highly skilled warriors that lead battalions of either four legions, four shadows, or a combination of the two and are able to use the skills of either class. Blademasters are dressed in a medium armor and are only given a single dagger as a weapon. Blademasters, as well as mastering various martial arts involving both armed and unarmed melee combat, they are also masters of alchemy. This allows them to reform or reshape their armor, weapon and even common objects as they see fit.

These soldiers are very proficient in the use of firearms and are nearly identical to melee soldiers in terms of ability. They come in three classes;

-These heavily armored troops are dressed in high durability armor and are armed with an assault rifle [http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/30738/1848307-golden_retro_lancer_replica.jpg], combat shotgun [http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h3/world_of_dragons/RP%20stuff/?action=view¤t=BoomstickShotgun.png] and frag grenades. While a bit more agile than their melee counterparts, Shock Troopers tend to be lacking in melee combat, making them vulnerable up close.

-Just like Shadows, Snipers are lightly armored stealth fighters that pick their opponents off with a silenced collapsible sniper rifle [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120317191852/masseffect/images/1/1d/ME3_Widow_Sniper_Rifle.png], a repeater pistol [http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h3/world_of_dragons/RP%20stuff/?action=view¤t=FiveseveNCustom.jpg] and flash-bang grenades. However, their lighter armor makes them more easily killed, especially up close and personal.

-Commandos lead battalions of four Shock Troopers, four Snipers or any combination of the two and can use the same skills of either class. Commandos are armed with a powerful arm cannon [http://s60.photobucket.com/albums/h3/world_of_dragons/RP%20stuff/?action=view¤t=39993fcfdde5107308d2a2ac2308ac9f.jpg] which include automatic, long-range, wide-shot, plasma projector and explosive firing modes. Their armor also includes a cloaking device. But just like any soldier of the marksman category, they're vulnerable in extreme close quarters.

These soldiers are skilled in the use of magical energies. There are three categories

-Having studied and mastered forbidden Qi-gong arts, these mystics have turned their lower Dan-Dian into burning cauldrons of hell-fire and demonic energies. The Mancers' Qi-based [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRcW6makqts] arts allow them to destroy enemies from without as well as within and can even use such techniques in close-quarters utilizing a form of dim-mak. However, these soldiers lack defensive techniques and their lack of physical prowess or armor make them easily killed.

Sometimes called 'Conjurers', Summoners are more supportive mages who have mastered the art of conjuration [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6Joap_qXkc]. As such, they can summon thralls from the underworld to do their bidding and swell temporarily swell their battalion's ranks. However, Conjurers lack any offense outside of their thrall and robes don't make for very good armor...

Priests are higher mages that command either four Mancers, four Summoners or any combination of the two classes and have similar skills to both. Priests are also masters of forbidden magicks such as Necromancy [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhl-ChHFh6k&t=12s] and Blood Magic [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt-pxd89BCc] to enhance their spell power. While their robes have a light armoring to them, they are still vulnerable to damage.

Mecha are soldiers who pilot towering mobile suits. Unlike the other soldiers, their battalions only come in trios, but they are still quite deadly. Their classes include;


-Blades are very fast and agile close-combat mobile suits that can use either dual swords or a sword and shield combination. The head also contains a series of vulcan guns to deal with targets too small to hit with their swords. However, beyond the vulcan guns, these mobile suits lack any long-range offensive capabilities and can be easily damaged.

-Much larger and heavier mobile suits, Cannons are dual wield a rail gun and pules rifle as well as a back mounted mortar gun. While much heavier and more durable than blades, they are much slower, making them vulnerable against faster opponents in close combat.

-Aces lead a battalion of either two Blades, two Cannons or one of both. Armed with a lance and a laser cannon on the tips of its wings; Aces can occupy any skill of its subordinates, but doesn't seem to excel in either field

Your Character
Considering the nature of this rp, you are free to be nearly anything or anyone you wish-within reason, be a character from a beloved tv, anime, movie, etc, to an OC that you create yourself.

I'd like to tweak a character I used for Shadowrun a while back. I always wanted a reason to use him again.

Hope they are not excluded. Snarky characters are more memorable.

Here is my entry, I think you'll like it.

-Name: Victor Zaitsev [http://vanquish.wikia.com/wiki/Victor_Zaitsev]

-Fandom: Vanquish [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanquish_%28video_game%29]

-Appearance:

-Background: Victor Zaitsev was born and raised in Russia where he became a leading commander of the Russian Air Force. He and some of his fellow commanders formed The Order of the Russian Star which succeeded in a military coup and took control of Russia. As the chief of the Order, Zaitsev has used his position to recreate Russia as a technologically advanced totalitarian state with an array of hyper-advanced robotic weaponry. When China was taken over by the Collective, he and the mechanical forces of Russia engaged them at the border, begining a destructive conflict that doesn't look like it will end soon.

-Equipment & Weapons: The Remote Piloted Battle Suit shown above. It is equipped with flight systems that can break the sound barrier, a laser-edged armor piercing blade that folds out of the bottom of the rifle, and a devastating high caliber laser rifle that can blow a hole through a man's chest, or atomize a tank after being charged.

-Abilities & Talents: Victor Zaitsev is a technological and tactical genius. His I.Q. is over 200, he is utterly without mercy and he will pursue the goals of Russia with daunting tenacity. **IMPORTANT NOTE**: Noone knows that the Slave Battle Suit is remote controlled. It is belived by those who have seen it in action that he is piloting it from inside because it's performance is so flawless, which makes it all the more impressive that he can control it remotely to such a high performance standard

o.o Holy crap, I forgot all about this thread since I didn't get much attention before.

Oh, and to answer Punky, you can play a Snarky character. What I meant was the players need to be respectful to themselves. I tend to get enough drama than rp in IMVU, so saying it was kind of a reflex.

Here's mine. I believe I have perhaps one or two cs that I'm waiting for, so I'll post the list accepted characters when I get it. Other than that and the fact I need to update some of the info and make corrections, I'm still awaiting for someone who wishes to Co-GM with me.

-Name: Unknown, goes by the penname 'Black Dragon'

-Age: 21

-Appearance:



-Occupation: Dragon is a college graduate and columnist for a magazine website, specializing in movie reviews and rants ranging from pop-culture trends to politics. However, Dragon secretly operates as a vigilante, cleaning up the streets of crime and the occasional martial arts or supernatural related problems plaguing Japan.

-Relationship Status: Dragon is currently single, though he's trying to change this.

-Background: A few months after graduating community college and suffering the hell of working his former job's summer camp, the young man now known as Kuroryu, or 'Black Dragon' headed to Japan to partially live out a personal dream while taking a job as a columinist for a magazine website. His movie reviews and rants have gained some attention and the job pays decently enough, but life was rarely simple as it was easy for Dragon to be sucked into some weird adventure from fighting ancient ghosts and demons to putting some local Yakuza out of business permanently.

One day Dragon was approached by some goons lead by a 'Blademaster' who wished to recruit him for his fighting skills. Dragon responded by politely telling the group where to shove before having to fight them off. He thought nothing of the encounter afterward until a few days later he hears the news of The Collective's attack on the world. Not much longer, forces commanded by Galvatron are beating down Tokyo and Dragon recieves a call from a man claiming to know his father, instructing him to come to Africa. Dragon wastes no time and heads there...

-Equipment & Weapons: Wallet containing a debit card with 120,000 yen (120.00 USD), a cellphone. A pair of OSC San Mai knives and collapsable batons. Dragon did have a katana, but was unable to get to it during the attack.

-Abilities & Talents: Expert martial artist using a style called 'Shapeless Fist', which combines Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Judo, Jujutsu, Arnis and some Muay Thai. Dragon has also learned to harness his Ki into powerful fajin, fire and lightning bending attacks, as well as mental focus to increase speed, sensory range or ignore pain. However, Ki-based and mental-based techniques can not be used at the same time.

Perhaps, but we, for the most part wouldn't be going up against tanks. But I will say that perhaps you should tone that down a bit, like say the weapon needs some cool time after a fully charged blast or something to that effect.

-Name: John Vek

-Age: 28

-Appearance: Slim but muscled, he is very rarely seen out of a black suit although since the change special efforts have been made to keep it clean during combat. He has short, gelled back black hair with slightly tanned skin. Other than the suit he also wears clear glasses.

-Occupation/Bio: As the appearance in meant to show he ran a large business chain earning millions, living the high life, after he gained his powers his board members removed him and took over in his place. He gained his abilities during a city-wide phenomenon in which others found similar changes happening, after a shaky start and a near-death experience he managed to survive his first encounter with equivalent enemies and lived to improve since.

-Equipment & Weapons: Other than basic clothing he always carries an emergency pouch of iron fillings incase the environment is lacking movable materials.

-Abilities & Talents: He has the ability to manipulate earth, stone and metal on varying scales depending on his concentration, that mixed with improved reflexes and strength after some years mastering himself his ingenuity in combat makes him a difficult opponent to match.
