You know what's cool? Original characters are cool. Ultimately, every fictional character is original to SOMEone. Here are mine:

Rafael "Superego" Cardenas - Teenage Superhero! When the world's greatest superhero went bad, he earned a spectacular amount of hatred. So it's for the best that most people don't know that he had a son. Rafael Cardenas is an alien/human hybrid superhero in training, trying to prove to the world that he won't follow in his father's footsteps. He's exactly as grumpy as you might expect someone in his situation to be, but still fights crime with his powerful telekinetic abilities.

Avanti Kadam - Battleship commander and part time Space Pirate! Kadam looked retirement in the face and decided she'd rather start a one ship resistance against an oversized private army trying to conquer Earth and all the space colonies around it. She won, faked her own death, and became a space pirate for reasons that made sense at the time. Calm under pressure and an unpredictable tactician, Kadam leads a ragtag crew of gundam pilots through the dangers of the Ascension Era. She'd describe herself as "Cool under pressure", but others might describe her as "Emotionally Distant"

Bai Lin - Perky Post-apocalyptic Punching Pollyanna. A warrior monk wandering the ruins of 22nd century China, now ravaged by nuclear war. Despite being surrounded by misery and suffering, Lin keeps a positive outlook on life. She firmly believes that no situation is so bad it can't be fixed, and she's good enough at beating up bullies, bandits and warlords that she can usually pull it off without someone killing her.

Kohaku Yuhara - Light Novel Fantasy Harem Protagonist. Kohaku was infested by an alien symbiote that grants her strange, superhuman powers at a young age, and thus ended up in Aegis Monster Hunters' Academy where she trained to protect others from falling to the same fate she almost did. Sarcastic, practical, perceptive, but bad at putting herself in other people's shoes.

Njall, Son of Erland - Immortal Viking! 1000 years ago, he was abducted by aliens that used their strange technology to make him immortal and unkillable. Ever since, he and his best friend have fought their way through the centuries for lack of anything better to do. Patient, easy going, weirdly casual about killing people, Njall continues to make friends with mortals because feeling sad when they die is better than feeling nothing at all.

Courtney "King" Wilkinson - Level 60 Gunner/Machinst! King played lots of full immersion VRMMOs to distract her from her life as a terminal cancer patient. So when she woke up in the game one day with no way to log off or return to her old life, she thought "You know, maybe this isn't actually a bad thing." She is technically her guild's leader, but she's more interested in blasting monsters in the face with shotguns than she is in planning raids or dealing with guild politics. She has an endless supply of bad ideas, but sometimes has difficulty expressing them due to being mute.

Why don't you consider tagging one of them with one of your OCs? We could have an adventure. If you need some inspiration for a thread topic, take a look at this list of words.

Rafael sat alone in his room, listening to a mildly distorted voice on a tape recorder. It wasn't quite as messy in here as it had been before Elena had come to town and started yelling at him about keeping things organized, but right now it could have been on fire and he barely would have noticed.

"-as a tyrant, there's nothing I wouldn't do to keep you safe. That is all."

The tap ended. Rafael hit the rewind button and listened to the recording again.

"This message is for my son, Rafael, when he is of an age to hear it..."

He wasn't sure how many times he had listened to it. His father's voice, speaking directly to a son who had never known him. A monster's voice, who had irreversibly taken the world down a darker path. A dead man's voice, speaking from beyond the grave without any awareness.

The tape ended. Rafael his rewind again.

[When you come from a post-apocalyptic wasteland dotted by the irradiated ruins of old cities, it doesn't take much civilization to impress you. Bai Lin, presented with a fairly ordinary city by present day standards (through the magic of Jamjar RP settings, we'll say), has stars in her eyes.]

I didn't think there was anything like this in all the world! It's so BIG! And bright! And clean! I've gotta get my list!

[She immediately starts digging through her backpack.]

-2-

[There was a furious battle, which you ultimately won. Your defeated foe lies before you, at your mercy, and you've decided to kill them once and for all. A final bloody solution.

The only problem is Bai Lin, who just stepped physically between you and them. She was on your side up now, but...]

The fight is over! You can't just kill them!

Okay so I know I said that this wouldn't get out of hand but-

[In the distance, you hear another burning building collapse, as riots in the street turn against the cruel regime that has ruled for years.]

When you get down to it, who can really know the future? That's the realm of knowledge not meant for mere mortals like us, right?

Avanti Kadam. Space pirate. Rebel. War hero. Savior. Traitor. Leader. She's been called a lot of things in the 34 years she has been a captain of various spacefaring warships. Someone once suggested she retire and no one ever found his body.

Originally from a Gundam AU game, but can be fitted into any setting in which battleships fire broadsides at each other, whether in space or on terrestrial oceans.

-1-

Kadam's ship, the Osiris, on which you are a crew member or possibly passenger, drifts along through the depths of space after an intense battle. The ship was more or less intact and repairs were proceeding at an acceptable rate, which gave Kadam some time with her thoughts. She stared out of the window of the officer's lounge at the stars while holding a mug of coffee which she would occasionally sip from.

She glanced over when she noticed you. "Quite the battle, wouldn't you say?"

-2-

Space battle. Things were exploding, people were dying, the numbers were against you. Yet through it all, orders continued to come down from command in a...well, not exactly a calm voice, but at voice that definitely didn't sound like it was panicking. It was a bit comforting to know that at least someone in this whole mess knew what was going on.

Your radio crackles to life with a direct transmission. "How do you feel about insane plans that might win this now or might backfire horribly?"

-3-

Kadam is from Old Money, and feels perfectly at home making small talk with the ridiculously wealthy. Her towering height, sharp uniform, and eye-patch makes her stand out from the crowd like a falcon surrounded by pigeons. At the moment she is in the middle of a small crowd of rich socialites and is sharing a story from her colorful career with them all. Apparently a story about an encounter with a band of space pirates. She finished the story up with, "So then their second in command hijacked his ship and turned tail and ran, leaving the pirate captain stranded in space in a disabled interceptor, swearing a blue streak."

There was some polite laughter, after which Kadam excused herself to get her drink refilled. Were you part of the group listening to the story? Curious about how much of it was true? Perhaps you're not used to fancy parties and want advice on which fork to use when. Maybe you just want to make small talk.

-Bonus-

Ever played a game of chicken?

Ever played a game of chicken with ten thousand ton battleships tearing eye-searing trails of light across the depths of space?

[Dang prefers not to deal with people when she can avoid it.

Today she can't. The scene is some kind of social gathering, and wow you have never seen someone wallflower quite that hard. She looks like she's actually trying to fuse with the wallpaper.]

[Out in the ocean somewhere. Your boat just came across another boat that is apparently dead in the water. Looks like a small salvage ship of some kind. The name "Penumbra" is stenciled on the side."

A voice crackles from your radio.]

Th-this...

[Short pause. The sound of someone clearing their throat.]

This is Dang Thu Mai on the Penumbra. I'm...I'm out of gas. B-but I have stuff. You know, for trading. I also have weapons, so y'know. Don't...don't get any funny ideas.

...Please help.

[Obligatory action prompt. Circumstances have put you in conflict with Dang. She's not one for direct confrontations if she can avoid it so she fled the moment you moved, and now you've lost track of her.

She likes traps, though.]

Or you know let's just make some shit up. Maybe there's some kind of goofy RP event involving getting stuck to each other. Maybe you need to work together to escape a burning building. Maybe you're watching a movie together at 2am. The only limits are the ones inside your mind.

1: The last roll - Or fighting over food. You both reached for the last of something at the same time, and now you're making dangerous eye contact
2: Wild West AU - Gunfights at high noon! Tense poker games in saloons! Daring train robberies! It's the Wild West!

Feast your eyes on the incomparable Akane Kowata: Professional witch and world traveler!

Here's a few things Akane gets up to:
1: Unexpected Visit - After wandering off into the world months (or longer) ago, your old friend Akane appeared at your front door, beaming.
2: Drinking - Akane likes her booze. Maybe you also like your booze. Maybe you needed her to do something. Maybe you just don't want her rolling around and making a lot of noise on the premises.
3: Showing off - Akane is a world famous witch, after all. Now's your chance to get to see some magic first hand!
4: Shop talk - Fellow magic practitioners only. Trade ingredients, discuss spell components, etc.

OR you can make up your own prompt, OR you can just leave a comment with some vague preferences and I will lovingly hand craft a custom prompt just for you! Let's RP!

[In the 40th millenium, there is only war. So the fighting prompt is the FIRST prompt instead of the last one.

The enemy artillery has moved on, finally, past the trench the remains of the 203rd Cadian were hiding in, only to be replaced by the quieter but still alarming rumble of the enemy ground forces incoming. As soon as she was reasonable confident they weren't about to be shelled into goo, though, Mira sprang out of the dirt and shouted.]

Don't sleep all day! Up and at them, lads, before they get bored and go home!

[The Imperial Guardsmen that still could sprouted up from the ruins of the trench and charged, lasguns sending cracks of deadly light across the battlefield and into the oncoming enemy force.

Are you charging along side her? Are you charging AT her? Either way, prepare for a whole lot of people to die horribly.]

-2-

[After a battle, in the mess hall of the 203rd Cadian regiment's transport ship. Losses were over 40%, but the Imperial Guard are still in high spirits, somehow. Mira raises a toast to the survivors.]

Here's to the best damn regiment this side of Terra itself! Ten million orks, traitor legions, and we sent 'em both packing with sweat and blood and lasguns! You do the impossible every damn day so that humanity is still around tomorrow to look death in the face and spit in its eye!

[A hearty cheer comes back.]

-3-

[In some hypothetical RP. Mira is looking at something utterly mundane, let's say a park, in confusion.]

Who designed this? The sight lines are all blocked off by those trees! A whole Leman Russ could hide in there and we wouldn't be able to get a clear shot at it until it was driving right down our throats.

[She dragged both hands down her face before looking over at you.]

I've always wanted peace, but now that I have it I find it to be a very strange thing indeed.

[Tsuyu sits down besides you and speaks without preamble.]

Hi. I always say what's on my mind.

[She's clearly gearing up to make some kind of comment about you, but obviously I can't write up that comment until I know who you are.]

-2-

[At some kind of party. There's a plate that used to be covered in that kind of cookie that you like, but now there's only one left. As you were reaching for it, however, there was a whipping sound and a blur of something pink stretching across the room, and then the cookie was gone.

Perched on a sofa, on the other side of the room, Tsuyu chews on something while staring at you with those weird eyes, as if she's DARING you to make something of it.]

Ribbit.

-3-

[It's August, and it's just miserably hot out. Everyone is beating the heat in their own way. Tsuyu is doing it by apparently just hanging out at the bottom of the swimming pool and never coming up for air while poking at her smartphone.

Eventually she notices you staring (because that really is a strange sight if you don't know her.) and surfaces.]

You really don't need to worry. I can breath underwater just fine.

[Hypothetical network post on modern day Earth (or something like it.)]

I'm saving up money to go on a backpacking trip across Europe. Mom and Dad are all nervous about it but I mean, I'm an adult. They can't exactly stop me.

I'll be straight, though, mainly I want to go to Boom festival. It's supposed to be really cool and also have a super chill vibe. Actually being there instead of just watching shit on youtube would be pretty goddamn cool you gotta admit.

-2-

[Tyabur is stoned and/or drunk. You probably are too. It's also like three in the morning.]

The point of the question isn't how many angels actually can dance on the head of a pin. No one cares about that. It's a question about the nature of angels. If the answer is a finite number, then whatever it is that must mean that angels have a physical component. But if angels are entirely beings of spirit, then the answer is infinite.

Infinite angels on the head of a pin. Break dancing.

Shit, that's a good band name. Infinite Angels.

[Sometimes on a college campus, you will see students setting up a tight rope between two trees. Usually only like two feet above the ground. It's less about actually learning how to tightrope walk, and more about just having something to do for an hour.

But have you ever seen someone doing a tightrope walk without the tight rope?

Tyabur has a look of extreme concentration on his face has he carefully plants his feet unsteadily on mid air, waving his arms around for balance. He rarely makes it more than a few steps before falling off, but even so...]

All Aboard The Lucky Queen Olivia

It's one of the many ships that sail the River with Ten Thousand Names, and if it's not the most luxurious and most famous ship in the whole of the multiverse, it's certainly in the top ten. For what other ship can claim its captain to be the centuries old brain of Mark Twain in a jar? Or to have the ghost of John Henry "Doc" Holliday as the first mate?

It's an unusual pair they make, but together they've not just kept what was originally a steam ship right off of he Mississippi together as it sails across the multiverse, but upgraded it into something almost totally unrecognizable. The Lucky Queen is now enormous. Almost half a mile long. It contains everything you expect to see on a luxury cruise ship, from swimming pools to shopping malls (yes, malls. Plural.), from ballrooms to arcades. It also contains fabulous distant technology that lets it sail just as easily in water as in molten lava or currents of empty air. It is on this ship that you have found yourself. Maybe you got lost in a freak transdimensional portal and hitched a ride, hoping to find your way home. Maybe you're on vacation. Maybe you just work here. Regardless, the marvels of the multiverse are just out the porthole, and the cream of high society is right here for you to brush elbows with.

Pick an RP Prompt and an Environment and test out characters who you think would work well in this setting:

RP Prompts
1 - The Ball: The orchestra is flawless, the chandeliers are sparkling. Hobnob with the ridiculously wealthy, dance with the extremely attractive, or just wallflower in the corner and enjoy the view. You have a crossection of the entire mulitverse dancing in front of you after all.

2 - The Break Room: This isn't just a vacation for you, this is your job. You just finished a long shift, possibly as a maid tidying up the hundreds of cabins, or a blackjack dealer getting threatened by hulking aliens who's language the auto-translators couldn't quite make sense of, or an engineer plumbing the depths of the ship which is pieced together from dozens of different kinds of technology and trying to make sure none of them explode. It's a lot of work, keeping a ship this big in working order, but now it's finally break time and you can chat with the rest of the crew while you catch your breath.

3 - Gate jump: It's always something everyone gets onto the deck for, for this is the most reliable form of interdimensional travel anyone has ever found. One moment you'll be in one world, the next you'll be in another. The gravity shifts, the air smells different, the sky changes color, the landscape becomes completely unrecognizable. Is this the first time you've seen it happen, or is this you hundredth jump? Will you calm your neighbor or be excited with them? (Pick two environments for this one.)

4 - River Raiders: Raiders sometimes attack the wealthy cruisers along The River to plunder their amazing wealth, and while the Lucky Queen has forcefields that can defend it, they aren't always enough. Are you crew? Are you a passenger? For once it doesn't matter. Stand to arms mateys, yer being boarded!

5 - Casino: High stakes cards! Slot Machines! Roulette! There's even a fighting ring you can bet on, or participate in. Security SEEMS light, but rumor has it that the ghost of the infamous gambler, gunfighter, and dentist, Doc Holliday, has a tendency to join the games of people who cheat. Such games usually do not end well for the cheater.

6 - Tours: While the ship has docked, the passengers are free to step off and explore whatever world you're currently standing on. There are usually guides available on the ship about the more immediate dangers, but they usually boil down to don't try any local cuisine until you're sure its chemistry matches up with yours, keep an eye on your wallet, and for heaven's sake don't sell your soul to anyone.

7 - Wildcard: Make something up that I didn't think up here.

Environments
A - Earthlike: Blue skies, breathable air, cities full of people. Most of you will feel fairly at home on worlds like this, but they're never QUITE like home, are they? The trees might have an oddly blue tinge to the leaves. The people might be unusually tall or short. The cities might have strange looking architecture.

B - Open ocean: No land in sight, just endless waves all the way to the horizon. The ship sways a bit more than usual out here. Hope you don't get seasick.

C - Noxious: This world clearly isn't meant for humans. Without the Lucky Queen's forcefields that keep breathable air in and poisons out (They can't quite eliminate the strange chemical smells that seep in.), humans would quickly die here. Expect truly alien locals, if anyone lives here at all. Is that a shoggoth waving to you from the shore?

D - Infernal: Did you hear the rumors that the Lucky Queen sails through hell? If it doesn't, this world is close enough that you can't tell the difference. The waters of the previous world have been replaced by bubbling magma. In the distance, you can sometimes make out obsidian cities, gleaming in the red light. Is that sound in the distance the wailing of damned souls or just your imagination?

E - Gas Giant: There's no ground here at all. The river becomes a river of air, and the anti-grav impellers that were installed keep the ship sailing along just fine. Gaze upon pillars of clouds larger than smaller planets. Witness lightning bolts bigger than the Empire State Building. Thank that forcefield that keeps the horrifically potent rainstorms from washing you all off the decks. There are probably sky whales swimming across this world's skies somewhere.

F - Depths of space: Why does the river go through here at all? Who knows, but the view sure is nice. Ten times more stars than you'd see from anywhere on Earth, and also orbital commercial space stations trying to make a quick buck off of wide-eyed tourists.

G - Wild card: Make up your own planet. We're all creative people here, right?

You are in a room. You do not recall how you got here.

There is a button on the wall, underneath a bronze plaque that reads "Press button to create world."

[Pick some aspect of our modern culture. A TV show, a video game, a sport, whatever. Be creative. I shall have Rider experience it and give his thoughts on it.]

[The best time for soul searching is at the tail end of a massive party when everyone is slightly drunk. Rider, a goblet of wine in one hand, addresses you seriously.]

This is a fine revel, but that alone does not let me know your measure as a man/woman/individual [select appropriate].

Tell me, what would you say is the most important thing in life? What ideal do you value above all others?

[Battle is joined! Or at least, it will be in a moment. First, the enemy would have a word with you, under the flag of parley.]

This need not come to violence, my friend. You need only surrender and join my cause. Surely a peaceful resolution would be best?

[Despite his conciliatory words, he IS still addressing you from a massive chariot.]

Just respond to this post with a character, either making up your own scenario or just leaving the comment blank. If you leave it blank, I shall do my best to come up with an entertaining situation for the characters involved.

[Ekko wants something from you, but he's just some punk kid with some kind of glowing bat, and you are some kind of amazing badass. There's no way he's gonna come out on top here.

Looks like he's gonna try anyways.]

Come on, let's see what you've got!

-Second Attempt-

[A brief sensation of deja vu, that fades as quickly as it appears. Ekko wants something from you, but he's just some punk kid with some kind of glowing bat, and you are some kind of amazing badass. There's no way he's gonna come out on top here.

Looks like he's gonna try anyways.]

Okayyyy...Take two.

-Fourteenth Attempt-

[A brief sensation of deja vu, that fades as quickly as it appears. Ekko wants something from you, but he's just some punk kid with some kind of glowing bat, and you are some kind of amazing badass. There's no way he's gonna come out on top here. Especially with how beat up he looks.

Looks like he's gonna try anyways.]

Gotta get it right sooner or later!

It was mentioned once that it would be weirdly fascinating to watch someone else play one of your OCs. I agree with this sentiment, so I propose that we all make journals for each other's OCs (or if it's someone you trust, you can just actually lend them the journal or something.)

Respond to this post with your Original Character's journal, describe them, and link to a few threads they've done that really showcase what this character is all about. Then look at other people's entries and pick one you like! We'll do some kind of musebox THING with them and it will be weirdly fascinating!

[Bruce Banner turns into a giant green rage monster known as The Hulk when he gets angry, or so the rumors say. This interests you. Maybe you want to fight it. Maybe you want to kill it. Maybe you want to hire it. First thing's first, though: talk to Dr. Banner.]

You want to- What? You actually want to meet the Other Guy?

That's...ohhhh that's a really bad idea.

exmarine_exbride

Sgt. Major Melissa Mao ran away from an arranged marriage as a teenager to join the Marines, and since then ended up as part of a secret army of do-gooders known as MITHRIL. She drinks and smokes, she yells and swears, and generally doesn't act very lady-like.

Reply here with a scenario if you have something in mind, or with just a one sentence description of your character and I'll cook something up for a thread myself!

Likely scenarios:

Counter-Terrorist action - Bad guys have some hostages, or are gonna blow something up, or generally cause some mayhem. Mao and you have been deployed to deal with it, either on foot, or in GIANT ROBOTS.

Boot Camp - Mao trains newbies. This usually means brutal obstacle courses, combat drills, wilderness survival, and endless endurance training, all overlaid with a seemingly endless stream of inventive verbal abuse.

Bar hopping - Mao likes her beer, her gossip, and her venting about the day's woes. Do you?

Teasing - Someone's got a cruuush~. Or has some other romantic news and Mao heard about it. She now proceeds to make their life awkward and embarrassing.

Wild card - Anything that doesn't fit in the above categories but seems fun anyways.
