[CASTING CALLS] Vanguards of Hope (Sentai, Riders, Cures)

Havoc: Hmmm an Avatar of a cosmic lord would be fine. While a seperate entity Byakko is still directly connected and influenced by the cosmic lord in question. They are seperate, but one and the same.

Icefish: Good to hear. Looking forward to it frostbass.

Guardian: I'll start reading it shortly. I let you know stuff soon.

He looks really promising and I want to read more about him...which is why his history is kind of disappointing ^_^'
But the way it sounds he has ALOT of secrets to him so just compile that info into a PM for me to look over and I will let you know what I think. So far though he sounds interesting, so he is in until further notice.

You may also want to go into a bit more detail regarding his first fight. That way I can get a better idea of what sorts of foes to send at him to help him develope and it will add a little meat to his public profile. The way it sounds he has alot of self destructive tendencies...or rather he seems to not care about his own existance. Other people, however, are important to him for some reason and he is more then willing to sacrifice himself to protect them. I have this feeling he is gonna be one part Den-O, one part Koyomi...but I won't pry deeper than that as of yet. Looking forward to seeing more from him.

First off, thanks for the feedback.

I'll be making some changes in the bio later. Based on your impressions, it seems like I'm holding too much back, so I'll try to expand some things, and make his motives more understandable. And probably tone down on some stuff:sweat:.

Going into a little more detail on his first fight, I assume you mean elaborate on his abilities and fighting style? Or do you have more that you want expanded upon?

Like I said, you don't have to give too much away and can always PM me the details if you want it to be a mystery to the other players. As for the fight, you hit the nail on the head. It doesn't have to be blow for blow, but just enough detail to give me an idea of how he fights, his abilities, and how he carries himself. That sort of thing.

Received Icefish's info and it is really good stuff. :thumbs:

I hope its not too late to join this but i wrote a bio for this, please let me know if there are any problems with it. I tried to go for a science rider if only to see if I could make it fit with the general premise of the RP so if he isn't too suitable I'll change him out for some other rider/ranger.

[HIDE]Name: Hayato Oshiba

Age: 24

Nationality: Japanese

Appearance: http://www.anime-planet.com/images/characters/tsuyoshi_shinjo_22018.jpg

Alternate Identity: Kamen rider G1

History:
As a young boy Hayato was very outgoing and adventurous, the only thing that quite his attention more than his robot toys was his love of climbing, he would climb almost anything and everything taller the he was, purely out of sheer curiosity and though his parents over protective nature meant he was more often than not scolded for such behaviour.

One evening after being yelled at for climbing on top of a small tree in the garden Hayato in a tantrum decided to climb up a particularly large oak tree in the local park and see the sunset at that height. By dusk his father was already there and in a panic, demanding he come down, to spite his father Hayato began to climb higher and higher.

His father tried everything to convince him to come down, from bribing with sweets to letting him stay up that night, but Hayato knew he was only lying, thing got worse when his father in a last ditch effort told him there a was creepy monster hiding at the top that ate naughty children, Though a little scared of the idea, Hayato’s became curios about such a creature and began to climb higher. All his father’s anger and fear somehow conglomerated at the peak of the tree manifesting itself into a sickeningly white inhumanly elongated hand that grew from a small hole just below the top at first the hand tried to grab the boy but once his father tried to intervene climbing the tree as fast as he could while yelling at the arm to leave Hayato alone the arm almost growled in anger at its “parentâ€.

The arm almost seemed to grow out impossible long from the hole grabbing Hayato’s father by the head and throwing him back down to the ground, shaken in disbelief Hayato rushed down the tree to his unconscious fathers side and threw rock, sticks, whatever he could at the arm in an effort to defend the injured parent, undeterred the hand grabbed Hayato by the neck and raised him up to an impossible height. Then as a mouth appeared at the peak of the try the world around Hayato began to slow to a crawl and a woman made of marble fell from the sky, freed Hayato and carried him down to safety. Wasting no time the marble woman threw a globe-like sphere at the arm causing it to erupt into nothingness.

The woman introduced herself as Urani, Hayato though speechless vaguely remembered the name in class as belonging to the muse of science from Greek mythology. Hayato briefly greeted the muse, before quickly checking on his father, though he seemed only bruised, Hayato burst into tears at the sight of his father thinking him far worse injured. Urania quickly re-assured Hayato that his father would be fine soon enough and praised his bravery and selflessness in trying to defend his father from the manifestation, Hayato still crying only blamed, saying it was his fault in the first place for wanting to see the top of the tree.

Urania told the child that his immense curiosity was the foundation of a mighty power could help save lives that he could truly help protect people from creatures like that hand if he sharpened his mind. Before Hayato could say anything else she vanished and time seemed to return to normal. Hayato’s father awakened not sure of what had happened but also more forgiving of his son’s actions. Hayato was left unsure if he this had happened at all.

Over the next few years Hayato grew into hard working Robotics student, often praised for his novel applications of existing knowledge, Hayato’s life at this time centred around his few close friends and his study. It wouldn’t until after he received his PHD in robotics that he would think again about Urania’s words to him.

On first night of his supposed break for studies, Hayato went to check on friends in the lab before going on holiday as well as do a small bit of last minute work on his pet project a heavily re-enforced exo-suit designed to aid and protect rescue worker in earthquake ruined landscapes. What started out as a brief check of systems lasted long through the night, it was only around 3 am when Hayato’s friends and he finished his work that he decided to leave for home, that night Hayato ran into the last person he wanted to see one of his peers Dr. Arthur Pentinton.

Hayato on earning his dotourith had also earned a large amount of additional funding for another project from the university, of course this money had to come from somewhere and the main source seemed to be the funding for Dr. Pentinton’s ESP research. Since learning of this Hayato had done a good job at avoiding the particularly competitive and short tempered doctor. Seething with an almost inhuman rage, Arthur only growled with fury as some invisible force pushed Hayato back into a wall.

Arthur’s jaw readjusted itself revealing set of razor sharp teeth, his skin flaked off revealing reptilian scales as his hair fell. Hayato hoped up and ran back to his lab barricading the door with whatever was at hand proved mostly ineffective as the door began to be break apart piece by piece. In desperation Hayato charged toward his exo-suit and quickly put it on. Only just in exo-suit Arthur had already gotten past the barricades and looked far more like a crocodile then a person.

The beast charged at Hayato only to be caught in a grapple, even without combat experience the exo-suit still bolstered Hayato’s strength enough to help him pin Arthur against a wall, suddenly computers, chairs anything not pinned to the wall were flung at Hayato and in the confusion Arthur barged him through the walls of the laboratory and outside breaking the protective casing of his exo-suit and exposing the circuitry.

Hayato beaten and bruised by the beast got up gasping for air, while Arthur stood above him jaw wide above about to snap, acting on instinct Hayato punched Arthur in the gut, electrocuting the creature on contact and knocking it out and returning him to his former self.

Standing there in disbelief Hayato caught his breath while a familiar woman walked up to him. Shocked to see Urani once again after all this time, the marble woman explained it was merely an identity she had taken and that her greater role was that of a cosmic lord, repair the damage Arthur had caused and erasing any trace of the fight, she asked Hayato to help protect humanity from more of the bizarre monsters and those that would use them.

Though hesitant at first he complied feeling that this is what he had truly been working toward for all his years. Provided with a strange brief case and knowledge that the university will consider his leaving as a simple holiday until he returns, Hayato left following Urani’s instructions of where to go next already planning out a new exo-suit designed to aid him in his fight.


Personality:
Always with a wide smile, Hayato is an eternal optimistic and seems to have a positive comment about everything, that’s not to say he’s uncaring about other people’s feelings more a case of he doesn’t like to leave people depressed.

Hayato is terrible at multitasking and prefers to stay focused on one task at a time, however this single minded nature and his good work ethic seems to help him complete these tasks fast most of the time. Though he’s grown a bit more cautious since his childhood he is still quite naturally curious about mostly anything and hates being totally ignorant about anything.


Likes:
Self improvement
Machinery
Rock climbing


Dislikes:
Pessimism
The sight of blood (he tends to be a bit squeamish)
Ghost stories (they have lost most if not all of their effect)
Trying to explain how his brief case works (he just can’t)


Relationships:
Urani: Urani prefers to leave Hayato to his own devices as opposed to simply pointing out what he needs to do, though this can be annoying at times Hayato is still grateful for all she’s done for help him and still treats her.
Toru Oshiba: Hayato’s father, a hard working bank teller, he’s relieved his son became a scientist as opposed to a more dangerous occupation.
Masako Oshiba: Hayato’s mother, a social worker who while happy that Hayato has earned his PHD still wishes he became a surgeon, like her husband she has yet to learn Hayato’s secret.


Extra:
The brief case has a near infinite level of storage well beyond its small appearance and light weight. It seems to act as storage for any number of man-made tools and materials as well as his own armour (which in turn has a small area in the back plate to house the brief case when Hayato is suited up.

G1:
http://0-media-cdn.foolz.us/ffuuka/board/m/image/1341/31/1341313998838.jpg
Shaped by the experience of his fight against the transfigured Arthur, the G1 armour is a durable close combat armour which greatly enhances Hayato’s natural strength while offering him impeccable defence against physical attacks. The armour’s right fist is equipped with a series of non-essential circuit designed to release a massive electrical charge as a finishing attack known as the “shocker punchâ€. The armour is still far from perfect and fails to improve his speed significantly beyond this the shocker punch is also known for wasting power energy excessively and hasn’t always worked properly in testing. The G1 is still far from perfect and Hayato has already started sketching out design ideas for G2.

*Stares at the new guy...then smuthers him with love.*

You magnificent bastard!!!! He's in..he just is.

He has alot of Ironman influence, but no where near enough to take away from his own identity as a characters. Your use of the fiends and Cosmic Lords is spot on and you left things open enough for me to put him where ever I want him. I can already see him getting along with most characters while possibly clashing with others. He is great!

Only one complaint....

*Throws down a bag of punctuations*

I'm an expert on run on sentences, so I know one of my own kind when I see them. Just watch out for that from now on and we shouldn't have any problems.

So yeah, great profile. Hope to see that same level of creativity from you in the future.

Guess I better write up a character list soon of all accept characters.

Also I've decided, for sake of...stuff, that monsters born of the Writhing Things and their powers will be called Fiends from now on. The Writhing Things are still the Writhing Things, but everything else can be called a Fiend if you guys want.
 
sorry to ask for a reserve so late in the game but i've finally settled in on a concept i really like for this game but am too sleepy to type it up right now. Sides thats what works for :P So if possible I'd like hold faiz for a day or two.
 
So, by my count of all present profiles, we have:

3 Riders
2 PreCures
1 Ranger

3 Males
3 Females

Hmm... I know there's still a few people who have expressed interest but haven't submitted a profile yet. Depending on how things go, I may develop another PC in order to help break up the Rider block.

Yeah, I can come up with another Ranger character as well to try and even things out. I'm thinking I wanna do a Ranger with a bow...

Also, I'm not too familiar with the Cure characters (the basis I mean). Anyone have a link they can provide so I can read up about them? An AMV or some other kind of video would help out too.

I can't send links froms work, but I am sure someone else will when they see this. There is always the Pretty Cure Wiki for more info. That is where I learned most of what I know. Kaji also has a really good FanFic over at the Fiction thread called "Shining Hearts Pretty Cure". Worth a read to get a feel for things.

Basically though they are Magic Girls that use martial arts and shonen style powers to fight various evil forces. They change every season, like Sentai and Riders, but some key concepts always prevail, like purifying evil and helping people with their problems. I have yet to watch a full series, but it feels like a very nice counter balance to the manliness of rider, and the middle ground of sentai.
