Forum Wars: The Pebble Version Forums Roleplay

[Kaida]

Maybe slight then, kindda grew to like what I had. ^_^

[Giga-Gar]

Slighty darker gold?

[Stevenson]

Much better. I'll probably post the intro tomorrow at some point. Spoilers, it will involve you guys being forced to go in to the Introductions area first.

LATE ENTRY COMETH

(I can't pass this up... Not for all the time in the world.)

Name: Simeon
Character Type: Semi-NPC (I will play as him as needed, but I trust you guys not to do anything with him that I wouldn't do if I were active while I'm off dealing with life and stuff.)
Appearance: His usually infamous furry appearance -- Big, black-furred mutant lion-furry with two tails and owlwings (with a 12-foot wingspan).
-- Dark blue irises on brightgreen sclera (colors trade places in berserker mode)
-- As a furry, he's used to wearing minimal clothing -- Denim knee-length shorts, gauze ankle and shin wraps (being a digitigrade bipedal is brutal on the shins and ankles,) simple gray t-shirt, a simple wood-bead rosary wrapped around his left wrist, and his now infamous faded royalblue "lurker's cloak"
-- Carries a small, very "Bag of Holding"-esque, canvas gunny-sack. It's a necessary luxury for any forum transient.
Weapon: Iron-shafted naginata spear with titanium inverted katana blade (think giant switchblade). Three modes - retracted, reverse-edged naginata, and scythe.
Sub-weapon(s):
-- A pair of kama-sickles (boomerangs!)
-- ... and his built-in weapons. (what? He's a lionthing. Teeth and claws are a given.)
Special Powers: (note -- Simeon has lost the majority of his RP-based powers due to his lack of presence in the forums.)
-- Mild Shapeshifting (Can shift away his usually bulky and cumbersome owlwings or his extra tail; can hulk-out if needed... especially in berserker mode.)
-- 5-foot Limited Telekinesis (yes. That's a thing.)
-- Invisibility (He's a lurker, and as long as he has his cloak, he can go invisible. Only other mods and admins can see him when this power is active.)
-- Time Manipulation (There's a reason why his arsenal is scythe-based. He can slow down and speed up time around him as needed at the cost of his concentration and stamina.)
-- Minor Healing Powers (enough said)
-- AoE Consecration (something he picked up from his travels beyond the forums; an ability that purges darkness from the area around him, healing allies, damaging foes, and creating a temporary safe haven for the party.)
-- Berserker-Mode: This is the one time he'll be able to use his old RP-Movesets, but he won't be able to control himself until his stamina is totally spent. Berserker-Mode is only activated through two means: a) as a Deus Ex Machina; or b) Simeon has entered a state of meditation and is royally interrupted.
Text Color: Jade (408040) (because Olive, Dark Blue, Teal, and Steel Blue are already taken.)

Need to knows:
-- Simeon has been away for a while. While he'll recognize some places and some faces, he's going to need some reintroduction.
-- He is aloof and a little detached (he's a lurker, after all,) but he knows his place and enough ettiquette to be comfortable in social situations.
-- He will zone/zen out often (due to being afk... and sometimes at the worst times.) If he refocuses to find his team a mess... well... Cue the rawr.
-- In his history, he's been something of a Papa Wolf-type character towards his teammates once he's attached to them, so don't get annoyed if he gets protective

[Stevenson]

<<bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz>

You all awake in a strange room. You certainly don't know where you are, you only remember falling asleep at the computer suddenly. The floor is an opaque white plastic, and the room is dark.

"Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one here. And oh boy, you aren't birds."

You can't see whoever is speaking, as it is too dark.

"I can't even get the stupid power to turn on on this console here. Just one door."

A light flips on, and you see a large doorway with a sign above it that reads "Introductions".

{{Obviously, you guys don't have to go through the door right away}}

[Prancing Mad]

The short one in the group was the next one to stir. He woke up and rubbed his head. "Damn... guess I shouldn't have stayed up so late watching youtube." He proceeded to stand up and looked around.

"Well, this is an odd turn of events. A dark room, that obviously isn't my house."

"Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one here. And oh boy, you aren't birds."

He blinked some, looking around for the source of the voice, but couldn't find it in the darkness.

"I can't even get the stupid power to turn on on this console here. Just one door."

"Well, you could start off by saying who you a- Gah!" He quickly covered his eyes as the lights came on.

[Stevenson]

A green and purple parrot flew down and landed in front of the kirby.

"I suppose you'd best call me Stevenson. And using my incredible deductive powers, I assume that you go by Matrix Kirby? This may come as a shock to you--it certainly did for me--but we appear to be inside the Pebble Version forums. I don't know how, so don't ask. But I figure these guys--" here Stevenson gestured around with a wing "Are also users. We got pulled in here, I dunno, some kinda ROM thing. This console seems like it should control this area, but it isn't responding."

[Blastotoise]

Marley was the third one to wake up, rousing from his slumber upon hearing a conversation he wasn't the exact center of.

"You say users like we're in the grid from Tron or something. Which, I guess technically, is a very astute observation. I can't wait to meet Clu-Josiah and...whatever passes for the MCP around here. A giant Torchic maybe? That sounds fun."

He looked quizzically at the talking bird identifying itself as Stevenson

"I can understand MK being a Kirby but...why are you a parrot?"

[Stevenson]

Stevenson sighed. "It's a long story. Go play the Muppet Treasure Island CD-ROM game." he flapped back on to the console, putting himself at approximately normal human head height. "But yes, as far as I can tell, it is more or less a Tron-type situation."



{{My lord, how did I not notice how bright your text color was?}}

[Simeon]

Curled up in another corner, blithely snoring away, is a large, humanoid mass of black fur and muscle clutching close to his mane what looks like a beat up canvas bag.

"Five more minutes, mum... Zzzzz."

He rolls over and burrows his snout into the wall... an act that amplifies his snoring.

[Saber Knight]

"Mmmffff... must... study... physics... Lorentz Force... Right hand rule...."

Groggily, Saber opened her eyes, equations from her textbook still dancing through her head. For a moment, she sat, dazed and silent, as she thought through the proper way to create a Gaussian bubble until it registered in her head this was not her dorm room. In fact, it was no where she ever remembered being before.

It was another moment before she realized she was not alone.

Blinking a few times as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she surveyed the room around her. Okay, an articulate parrot claiming that we're inside PVF... still not the weirdest situation I've been in. And I'm still not tossing out the idea of this being some absurd, sleep-deprivation induced dream.

"Urf, well, hallo thar," Saber greeted the other awake members. "Saber Knight here, in case that was a point of confusion." Here, she gave a vague mock-bow. "Any idea how we got into this situation and or how we're gonna get out of this situation?"

[Josiah]

Josiah blinked and looked around as the lights came on.

"Did I fall asleep? Wow, didn't think I was that tired... Oh wow..." a bemused smile spreads across his face and he takes in the other figures in the room, recognition quickly dawning. "Hey guys! This has gotta be the coolest dream I've had in ages! And the first one where I haven't woke up the moment I realized it's a dream."

He spoted a gunblade on the floor next to him as he rose. Picking it up, he grinned and twirled it experimentally.

"It's not quite real life, but meeting all of you in a dream is still awesome. I assume you all know who I am?"

[Giga-Gar]

"Urgh...no more all-nighter papers for me..." was the first thing Gar said when he woke up. His sleep addled state-of-mind took him a while to understand where he was, especially with all the voices. He recognized a few familiar words and names, like 'forums' and 'Stevenson'. What woke him up fully was the face full of lion in front of him.

"GAH!" He lurched backwards and sat up. Woah, where am I? he thought to himself, which due to good timing on his part was explained by a talking purple and green parrot called Stevenson. Looking around and finding the door to Introductions, he said to himself, "Oh... I think I know where this is headed."

[Silver]

"Good morning, guys! I tried to make breakfast, but all I found in the cupboard were these introduction topics. I've made a nice sauce out of them. But that's not much, and we don't want to starve, so now we need to decide which one of us to eat. So, any volunteers to be fried and eaten... in intro topics... oh. Forget I said anything."

Silver had awakened before the others and analyzed the situation quickly. He thought he had come up with a decent plan for survival - but is not known to do his best thinking early in the morning (and thanked his lucky stars that Neo didn't seem to be around).

"So... cousin. You, uh... look a bit different from the last time we met. ...New haircut, I guess? Hmm... anybody else notice something different about Stevenson...?"

[Stevenson]

Stevenson glowered, inasmuch as such a thing was possible, given....well, parrot. "Something like that. Although we have a Kirby here as well, so at least I'm not the only one who got screwed. Still, I'm not really sure what good this is supposed to be." He flapped his wings in a frustrated manner. "And I don't think this is a dream, but you could always test it out. Plug your nose and try to breathe through it. If it works, congratulations! We're figments of your imagination." He looked in to the corner, where Simeon was sleeping. "Could somebody please wake up....I guess it's probably Simeon...black lion, I think that's him...I'd do it, but I'd be liable to get eaten. And I really don't want to know what happens if you die in here." He then went back to fiddling with the console with his feet. "I'm trying to figure out how this craziness happened...unsurprisingly, I haven't come up with anything yet...but something sure as heck happened."
