I accidentally closed this tab after writing a fancy explanation of the big twist ,so now I have to summarize.
Disgaea is a Strategy RPG made by Nippon Ichi Software, originally made for the PS2, the game received a DS incarnation. We will be playing the DS incarnation.
This LP will be interactive, after the "tutorial" I can create several characters assuming I have the mana. You, the audience can request a character.
Name:
Class:(I will use hax to unlock most classes)
Bio:Optional, I can post Descriptions of Classes if you want to be "lore" friendly
Well, I guess that explains everything so far. I'm still working all of this out. Feel free to ask questions.
Sorry about the "twist", but I'm just allowing character requests now.
I will be taking screenshots of battles mostly, You can get voiced cut scenes from you tube separately. Taking Screenies of all the cut scenes gets annoying after a while.
I will post annotations and a few screenies of cut-scenes, just in case you want to know whats going on.
Without further ado, lets get on with it!

Laharl:ZZZZZZZZ
Etna:Prince!
???:ZZZZZZZZ
Lahral:PRINCE WAKE UP
???:ZZZZZZ
Etna:This brat just wont wake up! Well that theres only one thing left to do.
(http://tnypic.net/images/smmqh.png)
Etna prepares to bust a cap in our ass, right as we begin to wake up.
Etna:Oh prince..heh-heh
Etna procedes to give Laharl(Purple headed guy) the low down on whats been going on since he was sleeping. You might be wondering "Why would she need to do that", well Laharl has been sleeping for TWO GODDAMN YEARS! During those two years two things happened.
Laharl's father, the Overlord(think Demon King), got Iced by...something. The local demon rulers caught wind, and instead of pissing themselves at the prospect of an entity that could kill a Demon Ruler that pretty much rules by force, they bicker and fight over the throne because Laharl went MIA.
(http://tnypic.net/images/34l1j.png)
Naturally, Laharl is pissed. He decides to embark on a campaign to loot, rob, and figuratively fuck his way to the throne.
(http://tnypic.net/images/wcs27.png)
Etna decides to tag along.

Dark Assembly, You make characters and pass bills here. Bills provide benifits such as better shop stock, enemy strength, and unlocking bonus levels. We'll get into the hellish world of legislation later.
(http://tnypic.net/index.php?module=thumbnail&file=t8oih.png)
Hospital: Like the Pokecenter, but they will nickle and dime you for every scrape you get. Occasionally gives away prizes for getting fucked up bad/often enough.
(http://tnypic.net/index.php?module=thumbnail&file=isqwh.png)
Dimension gate: Stage Selection
Not Pictured:Rosen Queen:Netherworld Branch, the shop where you buy weapons,armor, and consumables. I will go into items later.
Name: Alkhemia
Class: Mage yes I know it a girl but w/e reincarnate to a Magic Knight after getting star spells nvm that 50 forgot just the Omega of Fire, Ice Wind and Giga Star since your not going to get the Tera spells unless your going for Baal though he not as hard a the one in 3 with 400 million HP and around 50 million in each stat.
Staff ofc then Sword
Tiers or just classes
I'm still in the middle of unlocking everything. I want to get classes and such out of the way.
Classes, I've unlocked all humanoids barring Celestials and Majins.

Goddammit, I just got through divvying up the Hl, and killing off the level slaves.
I'll work on summoning up your character. Weapons don't have elemental affinities in this game.
This comes up much LATER in the game, but your characters deeds would have gotten her Prinny-fied. Suicide is a big no-no in this universe.
I'm planning on taking Normal Mode, Etna Mode, and Post Game Content(At my own pace)
Speaking of progress, I just got through with Blessed Court.(Spent more time Ddviding up payment that actually playing.) An update will come shortly.

During my little grinding session, we decided to beat up a local lord. Etna begins to size up shit to steal, Lahar is too prideful for petty thievery. Etna calls him a pussy and...
(http://tnypic.net/images/0n17b.png)l
Laharl turns out to be Tsundere for pillaging
(http://tnypic.net/images/zmv39.png)
Que Ass-Kissing
(http://tnypic.net/images/vzgtz.png)
Doesn't look too bad...
(http://tnypic.net/images/79zkd.png)
The yellow bands and pyramids are geopanals and symbols respectivly. In short, standing on a panel results in you(or any unit) gaining different properties. A Geo Panel only works if there's a geo symbol on ANY panel of that color(Symbol color doesn't need to match). Each Geo Symbol has a different effect. Some make your life easy others will break your army in half. This set is beneficial, provided we can get two melee units on it. Whoever sits on that panel will get a 50% attack buff, and can attack the same target twice.
(http://tnypic.net/images/9upkz.png)
A bunch of Ghosts and Faeries, and a couple of fighters.
This battle was pretty uneventful.
(http://tnypic.net/images/9prn1.png)
Laharl and Sanya had some pretty good synergy.
(http://tnypic.net/images/mu4w8.png)
(http://tnypic.net/images/i3cvr.png)
I wanted to get kill pictures for everbody, but just replace the ghost with a faerie.
Basic, battle nothing really special happened.
There isn't really a need to buy anything. I outfitted you guys with the best equipment in the Rank 1 shop for the most part.
I'll post screens of my inventory, if theres anything you want to buy, speak up.
Blessed Court Inventory

That's everything worth seeing, I'll sell everything for about half of what the shop will buy it for.
I noticed the 'problem' and was about to have a joke "ULTRAVATICAN WHY U NO LIKE MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER OF TEAMMMM?!?!" but then I realised as I probably wouldn't be fighting much I wouldn't need as much cash.
I sorta wanted to leave character development up to the audience, but I'm planning on teaching your Character some Elemental Spells, so you won't be completely defenseless. Healers don't gain exp just from healing/buffing(that was changed in Disgaea 2).
Also, are there any bonuses/penalties that you'll implement in case we make pupils of other people's characters?
Well, at the moment all characters created for the audience are products of nonpersons or story characters(Sanya is Etna's pupil) if I recall. I'm planning on using story characters to create new troops.
Laharl 4
Scatter2
Sanya 2
Alchemia 1 (Team Attack with Laharl)
Total Money Earned:617
Total Characters Deployed:6
Where are the bonuses? Well, I'm changing the payment system for a couple of reasons. A. The bonuses people are receiving are fairly miniscule, and since everyone gets ten percent of the pie, the moment we get a "full" party everyone will get zilch in bonuses. So I'm implementing a "head" system.
For the early chapters every character will recieve 100 Hl per kill, this number will readjusted as shop prices increase.
I'll update with the actual report later. This will probably be the last change to the system, unless another problem crops up.
I wont post shop listings until I switch to rank 2 shop. You all have the highest gear for rank 1.
If any one wants it, I have an Imperial seal that I'm auctioning off, starting at 500 HL.
(http://tnypic.net/images/hrjh7.png)
The "main" force of enemies include archers, ghosts, a mage, and a warrior. Wait, a minute. Thats not just any old warrior....
(http://tnypic.net/images/2dczl.png)
Thats MOTHERFUCKING SIR.LANCELOT. GAME OVER MAN. GAME OVER. gg no re
(http://tnypic.net/images/jwi0i.png)
We start off with a set of geo symbols next to us, they're really inconsequential at this point.
(http://tnypic.net/images/zyncw.png)
But the symbols will allow you to bathe in a fountain(?)/pool of water that drains off into the aether.
We pretty much butcher the enemies with little trouble.
(http://tnypic.net/images/9lc49.png)(http://tnypic.net/images/w8jhg.png)(http://tnypic.net/images/zknko.png)
Come to think of it, doesn't anyone think that Laharl only having combo attacks with girls so far seems a bit odd considering his... condition?
Which is?
(http://i.imgur.com/Hukh6.jpg): Commander Laharl.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): That's Overlord Laharl minion. What are you standing around for? These treasures aren't going to pillage themselves.
(http://i.imgur.com/Hukh6.jpg): Ah well... there have been err... questions about... well...
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): Either spit it out or stop wasting my time!
(http://i.imgur.com/Hukh6.jpg): Is it alright for your lordship to be spending so much time in combat while paired with... certain members of our group?
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): Huh?
(http://i.imgur.com/hl8So.jpg): He's talking about m'lord's weakness to sexy women.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): HEY! That's not supposed to be said until Chapter 3! Who died and made you exposition fairy!?!?
(http://i.imgur.com/SXMvR.jpg): Our bio's haven't been fleshed out yet, so the poster is using us as aids in lieu of actual writing ability.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): Oh fer- Can SOMEONE get of their lazy butts and write these two some material!?!?
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): And you!
(http://i.imgur.com/Hukh6.jpg): Me Sire?
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): Get your writer to give you some bloody backbone an-
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): GAH! I just used "Bloody" in a manner which has no relation to blood whatsoever!
(http://i.imgur.com/Hukh6.jpg): To be fair Overlord, my bio also has yet to be written, so the poster is basically resorting to artistic license.
(http://i.imgur.com/hl8So.jpg): The storyline is basically half-asspull and half 4th wall antics anyway; the upcoming boss is n-.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): Stop giving away plot points! If we give away all the juicy bits there won't be anything worth watching the LP for!
(http://i.imgur.com/Hukh6.jpg): Love and Peace.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): STOP!
(http://i.imgur.com/hl8So.jpg): Rangers.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): SHUT UP!!!
(http://i.imgur.com/SXMvR.jpg): Horse Wiener!
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): DO SOMETHING EDNA!
(http://i.imgur.com/ka1cF.jpg): Sorry, I'm too overleveled, and you haven't even got a boulder badge yet. Your on your own for this and most of next chapter.
(http://i.imgur.com/zuffy.jpg): ARGH! RAEG ANGST AAAAAAAAL CAAAAAAAPS!!!!!!
So yeah.
Also, what does that Imperial Seal do?
IIRC, it gives +10 to all stats aside from HP, which gets +20.
Thank you for your understanding now ON TO THE SLAUGHTER. We absolutely curb stomp the final stage of Chapter 1.

I don't know who the hell you are, but this is an ENGLISH speaking Neather World, Frenchie.

But, you just appeared....

Considering the following fight, I have a hard time imagining he knocked off anyone.
(http://tnypic.net/images/sy9ya.png)
(http://tnypic.net/images/0pl8y.png)
We'll, he has his father's curl/antenna things.
(http://tnypic.net/images/1b33a.png)
And are you blind to the ghosts haunting you're castle?

The game tells him to sit down and shut up.
Now, before we kick Mid-Boss's ass into the next few chapters, I guess I should talk about briefly about The Dark Assembly.
Despite being royalty, Laharl will need to implore other demons to pass certain bills in order to obtain certain benefits. This will cost mana,(the stuff you get from killing stuff), and you will need to go through a vote. This Vote is the games way of telling you to go fuck yourself. You can bribe Senators with shit in your inventory(I use candy), to make them inclined to vote for you, but they ARE demons and they WILL vote "nay" for shits and giggles. If by chance your bill doesn't pass(Because you didn't try to pass the bill "Lets end the assembly and order pizza), you can try to force the bill by force. I've only done this once on my first play through. Senators are powerful, and they will wreck your shit in.
Now, in order to suggest certain bills, your character will need to pass an exam. No, you don't have to answer questions, you just have to be able to kill stuff.
(http://tnypic.net/images/a36af.png)
Just select promotion exam...
(http://tnypic.net/images/yssk7.png)
We can take 'em. Note of caution: There is NO base panel in exams, only the selected character can fight. If you lose, it's game ogre.
(http://tnypic.net/images/sznvr.png)
We wipe the floor with them.
(http://tnypic.net/images/yqlrd.png)
You have to pass bills in order to keep the shop's equipment level sufficient. We don't want to fight demon barons with 9mms.
(http://tnypic.net/images/ymtaz.png)
This is the most agreeable assembly, I have ever seen. Don't get used to it.
(http://tnypic.net/images/8jmzg.png)
Despite most of them being fractious as hell, these demons are able to get more shit done than congress.
(http://tnypic.net/images/zt877.png)
(http://tnypic.net/index.php?module=thumbnail&file=srm1k.png)
Fresh Meat.
Now, time for your scheduled Midboss-Asskicking.
(http://tnypic.net/images/4bifs.png)
2x Magic Attacks will ruin your day
(http://tnypic.net/images/y77r9.png)
It would be prudent to destroy these
(http://tnypic.net/images/s8wec.png)
lolbladerush
(http://tnypic.net/images/o9cwz.png)
Laharl has the Ninja Sword, a rank 2 weapon, Everyone will be outfitted with a rape machine of that caliber shortly. At this point, any good weapon is overpowered.
(http://tnypic.net/images/7700u.png)
(http://tnypic.net/images/g7rhw.png)
(http://tnypic.net/images/dt1m9.png)
Mid-Boss pisses himself, and hides behind the couch.
I love it when they try to hide.
(http://tnypic.net/images/6oy44.png)
MidBoss moves right next to Laharl...and proceeds to do nothing.
(http://tnypic.net/images/hykg7.png)
That's all she wrote.
(http://tnypic.net/images/hvzev.png)
(http://tnypic.net/images/4ljb3.png)
Midboss magically heals, and leaves.
Etna says she has to go powder her none existent nose, and leaves.
She then procedes to give an update to some other demon, about the prince.
(http://tnypic.net/images/bzj1z.png)
Laharl tells the prinnies to pack up and move out.
(http://tnypic.net/images/wma0b.png)
They give him some lip(beak) about it.
(http://tnypic.net/images/de8qf.png)
(http://tnypic.net/images/zrfu7.png)
Oh fuck, everyone's getting ready to rebel.
(http://tnypic.net/images/zrfu7.png)
Next time on Makai Senkai Bootikai Tenkaichi Gt Disgaea: Laharl gets assassinated, and we beat the shit out of some imps in a frozen hellscape.
