PTW I can't really think of a name for ether besides that we should be a doctor.


Also really tempted to say that the rival should be called Captain Cunt, but I'm sure someone else can come up with something better.
If there are no better suggestions, I may go with that.

Pictured above: the average Cat

Pokémon: Infinite Fusion is a fangame created by a developer named "Schrroms" and featuring the talents of a large amount of spriters and volunteers, based on a modified ROM of Pokémon: FireRed. The main draw/gimmick of Infinite Fusion can be seen right in the above screenshot, featuring the horrifying trespass of God that is "having combined a Persian and a Cubone together." Any two Pokémon you capture can be combined together using a brand new item known as the DNA Splicer, creating a new Pocket Monster with combined stats and movesets. In addition, more Pokémon than just Gen 1 (Red and Blue) or Gen 3 (Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, and LeafGreen) can be obtained: my casual playthrough has a Sylveon. Well, a Sylveon crossed with a Monferno to create Moneon.

But this is no casual playthrough, fellows. Not only is this a Nuzlocke, and not only is this actually my first attempt at a Nuzlocke...ever! But most importantly of all:



It's a Ranlocke.

Nuzlockes are already hard enough. The rules are simple enough, even if they make these Children's RPGs into nightmares: you can only catch the first Pokémon you run into per route, it dies if it runs out of HP and must be permanently boxed or released, and if you black out by losing all Pokémon, you have to restart. And as said before, I've never done one, so already you would expect added challenge. But the kicker is that this Nuzlocke is randomized. Not fully, but Starters, Wild Pokémon, Gift Pokémon, and the Types and Teams of Gym Trainers are all shuffled around. We could find Arceus at the very start or in a bush, or we could track down one of the Legendary Birds only for it to be a Dunsparce.

If the idea of a Nuzlocke noob diving headfirst into Hell sounds appealing, come join in!
We need:
Our Player Character's Name
Our Player Character's Gender
And Our Rival's Name


Comply with Forum Rules, but otherwise, you can call the Rival Headass or whatever. It's going to be impossible to take the game seriously now anyway, XD

Lando holds his hands up. "Easy, boys, easy," he starts to explain. "I'm a victim here! I just happen to look close to this guy, Rando or what have you, and these ruffians are using me as a body double for some kind of scheme." As he says this, he begins backing away from the group. "Arrest them, please save me, I'm just a victim here!" [Persuasion: 1+2 (Charming Demeanor)] The Stormtroopers collectively don't seem to buy it. One guard pulls a pair of bindings as the leader of the group holds Lando at gunpoint. "Nice try, Rebel Scum! Lando Calrissian, you are under arre-" And that's when V1 darts towards the handcuff grunt, shotgun in hand. [10 v 7] A single blast of burning metal and the man's abdomen seems to burst with red, sending him sprawling on the ground. Not dead, but very clearly heavily wounded. "CONTACT, CONTACT!" the Leader shouts.

COMBAT!

Spoiler: Initiative (click to show/hide)

Acting first, one of the enemy grunts backpedals rapidly, firing his blaster at the violent droid in front of him as he takes cover. [2 v 9] His blaster shots fly wildly, not even touching V1 with his quick reflexes.

While their attention is held by the machine, Lando quickly draws his blaster and fires at the Captain three times. [10 v 10] The first two shots fire wildly as he ducks for cover, but the third is quickly blocked by the stock of his own blaster, allowing him to quickly counterattack. [8 v 4] With a blast, Lando takes a bolt of energy directly to his left shoulder. It doesn't disarm him, but the pain is immediately evident.

V1, coldly and clinically, aims his revolver down to the wounded man, and fires once into his head, finishing that Stormtrooper off.

Pyro, immediately seeing the argument the group of friends is having in front of him, aims to solve the issue with their patented bubble blower! [9 v 2] [3 v 4] One of the masked baby-men is coated with bubbles, making him laugh and giggle like crazy. The bubbles are sticking to his mask and cute little gloves! The other naughty one, however, runs off with a mischievous twinkle in his eye!

Sub-Zero, in the real world, sees one of the grunts get set alight in what seems almost like hellfire, screaming as the fire sticks to his armor while his close partner darts away. He sends a hand covered in frost down to the ground and sends it across the grunge-covered soil to the fleeing soldier. [2 v 6] He manages to dodge the frozen floor and the resulting bed of spikes.

The last Stormtrooper not having fired or having been attacked takes cover, close by his Captain and the other fellow waiting man. "This is too much!" he yells out, but peeks out of cover to aim and fire at the strange, murmuring arsonist. [8 v 2] A single bolt strikes the Pyro in the side, sending a wheeze out of them as they stumble. One of them just poked Pyro with a sharp stick! That's not fair at all, not fair!"

Soldier is having the time of his life, laughing as he aims his rocket launcher towards the men in cover. "That's it, boys! Give 'em hell!" [10 v 9] [10 v 10] [2 v 8] The loud blast of the rocket being fired gives them just enough time to fall back, dodging the explosion just in time. The Stormtrooper who fired at V1 then procures a flashbang from his belt, and tosses it Soldier's direction. [1 v 9+2 (Helmet-Head)] There is a bright flash of light, and then Soldier lets out a louder guffaw of victory. "You think your commie firework can blind me? I see only America!"

"What the hell is he talkin' about?" The other grunt asks, before the Leader notices something."Wait...where's the alien?" [Stealth: 3+2 (Invisible)] A light shimmer catches one's eye, but it ducks behind scrap. "To our right, I think! Just saw somethin' move." [10 v 1] Suddenly, something leaps on top of the Captain, tackling him to the ground before his stomach seems to open on it's own. To his grunts' horror, invisible blades begin tearing organs free, leading to the Captain's swift death before the creature disappears.

Burning alive, the Stormtrooper Pyro caught alight begins to tuck and roll. [Extinguish: 7] He manages to stop the fire with a bit stopping and dropping to the ground, but if his unsteady breathing means anything, he's burnt pretty bad.

The final one, running for his life, looks back to see the carnage, before  running off into the scrapyard, presumably to retreat or for reinforcements.

With the group quickly coming into agreement that the fastest ship would be the best for clearing up this mayhem, they arrive to the door of the oxygen-dome. Lando clicks off a few safety switches, and the blue, shimmering gate fades away like it were a lightswitch in a small room.

As they step out towards the ships, they immediately taste the pollution in the air, oxygen low compared to the carbon dioxide and harmful chemicals wafting through the surface of every inch of Raxus Prime. The less-armored ship, codenamed "Zipper", stands proud despite rusted plating and a less than stellar sheen. But before they can successfully open the doors and board the ship, they hear rough and tumble voices from their right. "FREEZE!" one shouts. A squad of about six people, clad in black and white armor and wielding firearms, step out from behind an ambush spot around the heavily armored vessel. "This area is restricted! Move back in the shelter and wait for processing. No one's supposed to be here, least of all armed! We need to take you in for questioning of being scavengers!" [Spot: 5] One of the lesser grunts behind the main man whispers something to the head honcho. "...You." He says while pointing to Lando Calrissian. "You look like a known Rebel fugitive. Explain yourself!" The other Stormtroopers, getting antsy, step back and click the safety switches on their blasters.

I've noticed that my name has been misspelled as ReversedArcana. Could you please fix that next time you edit the OP?

Done so! Super my bad, I'm sorry.

While I did that, I also updated the IC thread and added four more characters: Sonya Blade from Mortal Kombat, Astarion from Baldur's Gate III, Isaac Clarke from Dead Space, and a character from a long-game game I ran: Wiki-Warfare: Cataclysm.

(Sorry! Yesterday was D&D Day, I completely lost track of time.)

When you shake away your mental cobwebs and first lay eyes on your new traveling party, your mission objective and basic information dragged into your brain like a body bag dragged to a hearse, you take a moment to look over them all. In total, six strangers now stand as one unit: a charismatic Rebel general and the only native to this galaxy, a Machine designed to drain blood from the living, a tall and strong alien trophy hunter armed to the gills with weaponry, a GI Jarhead with a big gun and his pyromaniacal compadre, and an assassin with the ability to freeze.

The environment you find yourself in is a sealed, oxygen rich dome. The outside world is a toxin-choked junkyard. [Investigation: 3+2 (Native)] Lando knows this planet, though only from star maps and stories: Raxus Prime, a world ravaged by industrialization during the Clone Wars.

Within the large dome is a door sealed by plasma. Just outside, miraculously, appear to be three spaceships, each one large enough to accommodate the six and with enough room to hover up and take off. One is a zipper of a ship, small and weakly armored but clearly packing serious thrusters. One is a gargantuan battle cruiser, slow but tanky, armed to the teeth. The final is a blend, a simple transport cruiser with utterly average armor, weaponry, and thrusters.

The floor is yours. Talk amongst yourselves and vote on a ship to escape and begin your mission.

I suppose you can throw me in the waitlist. I was going to offer to join anyway if you didn't get all 6 players. Just didn't wanna take up a slot from a potentially more enthusiastic player.

Understood! I penciled you down as Cyan Ori since you already wrote that down, essentially.

The IC thread is up, and the link will also be added to the OP!

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Roll to Dodge Emperor Palpatine (IC Thread)
« on: September 19, 2023, 09:28:53 am »
Inspired by games like Roll to Dodge Princess Celestia and Los Cazadores...

A blinding flash, a brilliant light, and then you arrive in a galaxy far, far away. The tyrannical Galactic Empire, headed by former Republic Chancellor and Sith Lord Sheev Palpatine, controls the known universe with an iron fist. Enforced by his army of Imperial Stormtroopers, the hunters of the mystic known as the Inquisitors, and his black right hand known only as "Darth Vader," the traitorous Darth Sidious has attained unlimited power, backed by a universal "Force", an energy that binds all life together.

You have arrived here, or perhaps have lived here for some time, with one goal in mind. Free the Galaxy. On your journey, you will face not just the Empire, but random encounters across the multiverse, your personal demons, and even yourselves. Between bouts, you may relax and strategize, but your goal shall remain the same.

Palpatine and Darth Vader must be removed, killed, erased, or impeached. Tyranny cannot survive in this blackest sea.


That description makes it sound a lot more serious than I'm sure it will be. Welcome to yet another RPG by me! In this game, you will be playing as a set of characters from across established franchises, and fighting and roleplaying across the Star Wars galaxy in an attempt to defeat the entire Galactic Empire!
Spoiler: Rules (click to show/hide)

All six slots filled and we are now up to forty-four playable characters with more to follow! The IC thread and the first post will come up tomorrow!

I'll take Yellow.

Also the way this game is set up with all the random characters reminds me of a game you did quite a while back.

That would be the game I ran inspired by a YouTube Poop, of all things. It was fun, but my whims called me to this.

Also, I will be making it Blackglow Yellow to make it easier to see for users in Light Mode.

PTW i guess, seems like a cool idea. It'd be fun to drop a character like Ori into another world and see what happens (the only reason i'd join). Shame it's an RTD though, as i've pretty much resolved to never play an RTD again—I don't like the excessive randomness.

I had no idea that you could abbreviate text like that nowadays.
I'll consider adding Ori, actually! Sorry you don't feel like playing, though. I know RTDs aren't everyone's cup of tea.

Put me in as Sub-Zero (teal) please.

This seems fun, I’m excited to see where it goes!

Glad you enjoy the idea! Adding you to the list!

claiming lightgreen
as for character just give me something with a gun and something else that will help with being a murderhobo

Will do! I'll add everyone else to the list, drop one more big-ass batch of characters (finishing off TF2, adding a few other characters from here and there), and then add you based on that last revision. Just in case I'm adding someone particularly murderhobo-y. :)

27
Absolutely!

28
Updated the OP with eighteen new characters.

29
Odo Nobunaga is from "actual history".
I don't know for sure, but if my memory of Zero Punctuation serves me right, Kazuma Kiryu is from the actual video game "Yakuza", and I would guess the other guy is too.
Had a feeling that some of them might have been from that game, makes me wonder why there are two random historical figures in the list now.

I wanted a wide range of characters from essentially all over to give as much choice as possible, but I had literally been on and off the OP so long that I just wanted to get it out the door. I'll add more TF2 characters, other characters, and historical figures later on.

In any case, any colors in mind for Egan's V1, King Zultan's Predator, and Spin's Lando?
