Y4: Journey for the Ecstasy Egg - SIGNUPS!

[Tempest]

In a secret lair somewhere..
A shadowy figure emerges from the darkness. The shape of this figure reveals that is is indeed a Yoshi. The figure is wearing a long hooded trenchcoat that hides it's face, and it clutches a large dusty book in it's right hand. It slams the book on a table, and opens the book with some arcane source of wind. It flips to a page all about the history of the Yoshies.

The Ecstasy Egg is the key to the joy and happiness of the Yoshies. Hidden for centuries by ancient sages, researchers say that the Ecstasy Egg has some kind of connection with all the Yoshies in the world. The location of this mystical talisman is still unknown to the world today, but it is said that those Yoshies who hold one of the Yoshi Bliss Sceptres will be blessed with the knowledge of where the Ecstasy Egg is hidden...

The paragraph went on, but the figure had seen enough. It closed the book, and smirked, as if concocting some kind of plan...
-------------------------------------------

A Yoshi Bliss Sceptre was reported to be stolen from the Metropolitan Museum of Mushroom Kingdom last night. Whoever the culprit is, they are on their way to the Ecstasy Egg, and if this precious talisman lands in the wrong hands, it could mean the end of joyful times for all of Yoshikind..! Tempest has gathered a crew of adventurous Yoshies to find and stop this culprit, and to protect the Ecstasy Egg! Let the journey begin!

--------------------------------------------

Welcome to the fourth installment of the Y RPGs. Now, for those of you who have participated before, you know this isn't like most RPG's, where you can post 2 line posts and expect it to be good enough. We want this to be a serious and successful RPG, so we will be holding tryouts - meaning you MUST post a sample RP along with your sign-up form, using the SAMPLE SCENARIO PROVIDED. Either myself, Tempest, or Frog, the co-leader of this RPG, will deem you worthy or not. Don't worry, we won't be too harsh. Just try to have correct spelling, decent grammar, and lengthy posts. We don't want essays, but we don't want two word entries either! Use your judgement! Also, we don't want God-moders, or anything. Don't make your character a super powerful Yoshi that can blow up planets with their eyes. That's not fun.. Trust me. When we do this thing right, it'll be a LOT of fun! So give it a try!

[Tempest]

My own sign-up.. Just to be fair. ;D

Name: Tempest Stormrage
Age: 21
Appearance: digistorm.fractalhosting.com/tempestart/40.jpg
Special Abilities: Tempest is blessed with the power to control the weather around him and beyond. He can create any figment of weather, and bend it. He also can teleport at will, leaving a cloud of Sulfuric Acid Fog cloud in his absence, making a 'BAMF!' sound. He is also able to become intangible at will, for as long as he can hold his breath. He has a spaded tail that acts as another appendage, allowing him to grip things such as railings or small weapons
Special Weapons: Tempest also has access to tap into a 'Tetra Forge', where he creates solid lightning weapons, his favorite being the Tetra Talons and the Tetra Gavel.
Personality: Very serious and self-centered. Does not like to show a lot of emotions, and releases his emotions through weather (Sunny day = Happiness, Overcast = Gloom, Thunder = Rage, etc)
Other: Is a General of Nature that keeps in contact with Mother Nature.
Sample RP:

Tempest strolled down an alleyway, enjoying the brisk night sky. The air felt refreshing and crisp as it entered and left his lungs in soft sighs. He stopped next to a garbage can, hearing something peculiar in the background. Something was not right.. He turned around slowly to see two glowing devilish eyes in the darkness. Two vicious canines stepped slowly into the light, their paded feet slowly pawing the ground. They were bloodhounds, and drool dripped from their large stained fangs. Tempest turned to run, but the canines were faster. They lunged at him, and Tempest knew he could not escape them on foot. They had four feet to his two. Thinking quickly, Tempest reacted by gripping the nearest garbage can with a magnetic charge, flinging it in front of him like a moving shield. The dogs yelped as they jumped into the moving metal can, stunned for a moment. Tempest started sprinting down the alley. He couldn't fly now. There was no jetstream available in this narrow alley, and he couldn't summon one without at least concentrating for 10 seconds, and he did not have seconds to spare now. Looking back, he saw the dogs had rebounded and were leaping after him, barking loudly. Tempest continued to run, knowing he could not keep this up. He looked up at the sky, and started to concentrate. His eyes burned white, and then started to glow a faint electric blue. Thunder stormed above, and lightning shot out of the sky like a bullet, right behind Tempest's long dangling tail, where it struck the ground, not only creating an electric pulse that shocked the feet of the dogs, but created a sizeable crater. The dogs, losing their balance, fell into the new crater, and yelped helplessly as they tumbled. Tempest cursed under his gasping breath, and left the alley. Lightning streaking into an alley? His cover was absolutely blown.

Well, let's see...Should I use myself again?... ... ...Yeah, me. And a couple partners.

Name: Lava Yosh
Age: 15 (soon to be 16)
Appearance: Dark-blue with blond hair, gold helmet stretching to neck w/big screw in top and each side, light-blue high sleeveless shirt w/L and Y in pink, yellow shoes, 4 red marks on belly, 2 red scars across top of nose, green triangle on cheek, yellow star on each arm, light-blue triangle on each knee
Special Abilities: Fire breath, throwing ice magic, casting thunder from helmet, firing a simple laser from the pupils
Special Weapons: Yosh Spirit Keyblade, but sometimes switches to a blitzball, a Mini-Mario, or a rainbowy sword
Personality: Autistic, farsighted (but eyemask has lenses on it), sticks up for justice (unless it gets too annoying for him to defend others)
Other: He originates from the world of Staramado. Upon hearing about the Bliss Scepter's theft, he had to leave in order to stop the fiend behind it all.

Name: Wakka
Age: 23
Appearance: Besaid Auroch outfit, orange hair w/big long curl up top, blue headband
Special Abilities: Throwing his blitzball like a maniac
Special Weapons: Blitzballs. SPIKY blitzballs, to be exact.
Personality: A very wanky guy. He often acts slightly immature, but manages to keep a serious, stick-to-the-mission attitiude.
Other: As a friend of Lava, he wants to help guard the Ecstacy Egg from the perpetrator.

Name: Gothpuff
Age: 14
Appearance: Purple Jigglypuff w/red eyes, eyelid piercings, and blue earrings
Special Abilities: Necromancy (but for good purposes), shadow magic
Special Weapons: She holds a silver stake and a golden cross.
Personality: Very dark and quiet, like a Goth.
Other: She's also a friend of Lava's but doesn't socialize much. Her happiness was stolen by a terrible monster years ago.

Sample RP: Lava, Wakka, and Gothpuff try to run, but are trapped in by big electrical fences. Even Lava couldn't withstand the shock. So they had no choice but to fight the dogs. Wakka started by throwing his blitzball in a way that it befuddled the first dog. Lava then spit fire on both of them. Gothpuff followed up with a dark hand rising from the ground slapping one of the dogs until that dog retreated. The second dog then mauled Gothpuff and threw her into Lava, making them both dizzy. So Wakka used a Tasty Tonic for Gothpuff, who then used another for Lava. Then, Lava threw a blisteringly-cold iceball at the dog, so it fled.

[Tempest]

Lava, thank you for your interest. I think you misunderstood my instructions, however. You need to use the scenario I provided [being attacked by two dogs in a dark alleyway.], and create a sample RP. Just role play like you're being attacked by two dogs. You can use all three of your characters in one paragraph. I'll let you know if you're accepted based on how good your sample RP paragraph is.

[UMS Author Lava]

OK, edited it. The paragraph's a bit long.

[Moot]

Looks I need to dig out that really old biog again ::)

Name: "British" (Never tells anyone his "real" name.)

Age: Unknown

Appearance: Dark Purple colour, wear a full length leather jacket, black headband, and dark glasses whatever the weather is, day or night. Glasses have built in night vision, infra red etc so he can see in the dark anyway. Can also zoom, for the ultimate convenience.

Special Abilities: Weapons proficiency, computer skills, being a classy badass.

Special Weapons: ASMD Energy Rifle complete with Scope, long range weapon. Fires a piercing blue energy beam that totally gives away your position, Thanks to the energy trail that is left behind breifly after the weapon is fired. Can also launch a "seed" shot, which can either be left as is to cause electrical disturbance on impact, or detonated with a well placed shot of the Beam to blow it up rather spectacularly. Always wear safety goggles, kids. A special modification also allows it to fire a concentrated energy steam that will toast pretty much anything but will burn through the battery.

FN P90: 50 round SMG modified, armour piercing capabilites. Small size and light frame as not to be too heavy or awkward to carry.

FN Five-SeveN: Last resort pistol.

British' weapons have been modified to run off the same enery source, a Self-Recharging Power Cell that draws in energy from the surrounding area and converts it into a form useable by his weapons, as well as being useful in other situations. As long as there is an energy source and time British cannot run out of ammo. Of course should they all run out, you can always club somebody with the stock of the ASMD.

Personality: British is pretty much a mystery. Keeps himself to himself, except for a small select group of acquiantances. Tends to be a little anti-social, and apathetic, but can and will stand up for the 'right thing' (notice this is in quotes.) Believes actions speak louder than words, and isn't know for backing down or taking crap from people. Also as stubborn as a mule. Doesn't exactly do a lot of talking, so most people he meets tend to regard him with an air of suspicion, except Tempest who has met with British on various other occasions.

Other: No Powers or anything to speak of, just your run of the mill guy with a taste for firepower. More agile than most, relies on speed mostly to get the upper hand. Tends to wear a di-tanium blend armour vest which stands up to most anything. Nanomachines will eventually repair damage to it, working from the Recharging Power cell when not in use refilling ammo. Is also sexy. Mercenary for Hire, most of the time.

Sample RP:

British quietly slipped into the alleyway, on the way to wherver ever he was meant to be going that night. Nobody had bothered to give him any more information, but that wasn't out of the ordinary for the work he was used to doing.

There was almost total silence, except for a quiet buzzing sound that British could hear, but couldn't quite place where it was coming from. He toggled a switch on his glasses to change the view mode to focus on the infra red spectrum. Much to his surprise the whole alley was was crossed with laser trip wires, which would obviously cause nasty things to happen were one to be tripped acidentally.

"Brilliant. They set up a light show for me." Almost by chance, he noticed a fire escape that quite strangely was not covered by the tripwire system. "Amateurs." He climbed up the ladder, and went to vault over the side past the tripwires. Just as he was about to jump over the side, the whole thing gave way and spectacurly crashed down through most of the tripwires. There was no alarm siren, so it must have triggered something elsewhere, but naturally it was well hidden so it wasn't exactly obvious what mess you had just gotten yourself into.

British flipped the view mode onto Night vision, as the alley from that point onward was pitch black. In the distance, he noticed a couple of heat signatures coming straight towards him. Zooming in with the glasses still processing night vision, he could just make out a couple of dogs. OF course by this time he could also hear them. "Not much of a welcoming party... I guess the only way forward is through these guys. " HE pulled out the ASMD, and started to line up a shot, but before he could squeeze the trigger one of the dogs had already made it way up to him, and lunged in British' direction. Narrowly missing his face, he spun round as the dog jumped past him and smacked it with the stock of the ASMD sending it crumpling into a heap of old garbage.

The other dog by this time had stopped running as it has just seen the fate of its partner. There was face off between the two briefly as they both stood at each end of the alleyway. Just behind it, British could see the doorway that he was probably meant to be going to, but not until this dog had been taken care of.

While he was concentrating on how to get there, the dog suddenly started to run for BRitish, much like the last dog. However before it could get within any serious distance British quickly took aim and blasted the dog with a Beam, vapourising most of it. "However did this gun stay legal?" BRitish slung it over his shoulder and started walking.

Making his way down the once again silent alleyway, apart from the sizzling remains of an ex-dog, there was no resistance whatsoever. The door inside was padlocked, but that was nothing a quick smash with a brick would take care of, this particular lock was practically rusting off of the door anyway. It hit the ground with a dull clang, which echoed all the way down the deserted alleyway. The last sound anyone would hear -- had there been anyone there-- was the sound of the doorway closing behind British as he crept inside.

Looks like I still got it :D

[Tempest]

Okay, frog OBVIOUSLY made it. XD

Lava, we're gonna accept you, but you can only use one character, alright? One seems sufficient for now, and three would just be confusing to keep up with. So just pick one, mkay?

[Wildfire the Dragon]

Name: Jayshi Tanoshi
Age: 14
Appearance: www.deviantart.com/deviation/20961596/
(Shoes have been changed into Blue Rocket Shoes(Like Shadow the Hedgehog.)
Special Abilities: Yoshi, wind and Dragon
Special Weapons: Shoes and Sword
Personality: Depends on Mood. Usually Happy or Aggressive


Other: a Local Kid from Tokyo, Japan. Somehow got transported into the gaming side of the world and earn special abilities of Wind and Dragon.

Sample RP
I was running away from a pack of wild dogs. I desparately tried escaping. I kept running and found a trash can, I kicked it and rolled it, hitting one, but more came.

I came across a dead end. I could'nt transform and fly, otherwise others will see me. One dog quickly tried to charge and bite me, I barely dodge, but one came and scratched me on my arm. They all came for a frontal, getting piled up. I got upset, biting and scartching kept coming. I wasn't going to get killed by a bunch of Dogs. I quickly realeased my wind energy, knocking them around nto the walls. I quickly wall jumped to fire escape and ran on a building to escape.

[Moot]

How many characters are you using, here?

I think its best to stick to one, really..

[Wildfire the Dragon]

Well, I'm using one. It's just that I can transform into them. I can be still called Jay, or any of those names.

[Enrique]

Name: Enrique
Age: 16
Appearance: light blue yoshi, black-and-white striped hat, white shirt, green shoes, green eyes
Special Abilities: quite intelligent, especially with math and computers, can act like McGyver if needed
Special Weapons: doesn't really use that many special weapons; usually an odd or end if neccessary and found
Personality: not really much of a fighter, however will fight if needed, and doesn't like to be known as a wimp. Doesn't get on an angry streak real easily. Has the tendency to ramble on about something geeky-sounding on free time.
Other: Just an ordinary geeky guy for the most part

Sample:

It is past midnight, and Enrique roams the city. A small cloud of fog starts to develop along a small alley in which he is travelling. Suddenly, he hears something. It sounded like barking. The sound seemed to get louder and louder by the minute. With each time a bark was heard, it sounded angrier and angrier. Enrique turns around, only to see a small pack of dogs charge at him. At first, he is terrified; he jumps about six inches off the ground in fright; his hat almost jumping off his head. All he could do was run. He ran and ran; the dogs seemed to get closer with every step. He comes to a dead end. All he could see were the dogs coming closer and closer. He sees a dumpster nearby, and jumps on it. He started climbing the nearby building, by the open cracks in the bricks. He hopes not to slip, for if he does, it will be the end of him. With every motion he makes with his arms as he climbs, his arms become more and more tired. Finally, he reaches the top of the building. He still has no idea how he made it, but he did.

Yeah, but its still technically 4 characters, I personally think you'd be better off choosing one then going more in depth into that one guy, as well as your sample, the details look a bit thin on the ground,

Then again looking at my huge post I would say that

[Tempest]

Enrique, you're accepted. Nice post.

Jayshi, we will accept you on one condition: You stick to Jayshi - the Yoshi form. This is a Yoshi RPG, afterall. No transforming, because thats essentially having 4 different characters. Alright?

[Moot]

Nist post there, always a change to see someone who doesn't insist on fighting their way through everything

[moshi5694]

Can I have the power to transform into animals and a dragon?

[Tempest]

As long as they don't all have separate personalities and powers, etc, then yes. If it is your Yoshi's power to shapeshift into animals, that would be extremely cool. Dragon might be pushing it, but animals is A-Okay by my book!

Sample RP:

The sun was finally lost on the edge of the horizon. Leonidas stretched his legs and arms, he had been standing in the same, unmoving position for his twelve hour guard shift. Wanting to avoid the typical hassles of using the main roads of the small town, he chose to back up, the turn and walk down the alley he had been standing in front of, pulling the secondary tip of the xyston out of the ground with an audible *tchk.*

Whatever light there was on the main road was halved in the alley, he took a deep breath and brought the primary point of the xyston down in front of him, stopping as he heard low growling change into frenzied barks. Two pairs of teeth flashed in the fading light with the skittering of paws, he was getting charged by dogs. Without a moments hesitation he adjusted his grip on the xyston, thrusting it forward and pinning the dog on the right to the ground through its chest. The other lept into the air, then was knocked right to the ground, yelping as Leonidas swing the shield down onto its head once, then again, crushing its skull against the ground.

[Wildfire the Dragon]
