Big Honking Crossover - Bigger and Honkier

[forkinyoureye]

Intro more or less taken from the first game.

This is a game based off of the Big Honking Crossover, made by Quirk, who is currently running the other game.

You're going to want to read the master document up through the 1st Era.

Also, check out the FU system document, it’s what we’ll be using for characters and dice rolling and such. No FU points though.

Our setting this time around will be the city of Rapture, 2014 AD.

That's right, it's still around. It's been abandoned, though. You've gotten interested in Rapture for one of various reasons: sociological studies, potential living space, a new resort, what have you. You've each entered independently, but stuck around in the arrival docks. Information about Rapture is currently available to the public, but nobody bothers with it because why read about a failed social experiment when you could be working with Pokemon? Wouldn't you know it, you chose the same day as six others to come here. You welcome the company; it's really goddamn creepy down here. Not to mention you've been hearing noises; maybe it wasn't completely abandoned after all...

And that's seven! Still, let me know if you want to play; backup players would be nice.

Anyway, the setting intro is kinda crappy because I wanted this up before I had to go home. If I can figure out a way to refine it, I'll edit this post.

Without further ado, let the signups begin!

Hm, the document says it was destroyed in 1978. I don't see why it couldn't have been rebuilt in the late eighties or nineties, though, for historical reasons. And when people decided that they did not, in fact, want to live on the floor of the goddamn ocean (after all, the novelty of the idea would only last you so long), it's reasonable that they could have abandoned it then. I'd find that pretty funny, as it'd make Rapture just look cursed. XD

[MasterBlade]

Can we apply if we're already in the other one?

I might need to be the race minority again.

Damn homonculii...

Oh, heh, I didn't notice that. Then again, it's not like the doc isn't open for editing. Thanks for pointing that out.

Edit: MasterBlade, I don't see why not.

[Kocel232]

I'd just make sure to have it have been open for at least ten years or something, and to have the conditions down there be... Less than ideal. I'd imagine that you'd be cut off from the world, power would be a slight issue in some areas, while most of the city would have been cleaned and renovated back when Rapture was re-opened, there'd no doubt be places that would still be trashed...

Basically, it's a total-crapshoot that's barely running. Only the absolutely essential facilities would be functional, and most of the people living there are either a) there to make sure it keeps running, b) there out of historical interest, c) SCP Foundation personnel assigned to the location for research and monitoring purposes, and d) crazy/poor people with no other place to go.

But hey, it's your game, so it's ultimately up to you about how you want the setting to be....

[causticlyOptimitious]

In like a sleepy little ninja. Character when my brain feels less mushy.

[forkinyoureye]

-snip-

I do like these ideas, and I'll go stick some of those in the doc.

[Ross_Varn]

Oh hey brilliant, it's the perfect bit for a metasetting for any number of games...

Crossoverception!

[thunderheadSeeker]

Count me in! I'll be back with a character later tonight.

[Neopie]

I am totally going to be a foundation pony.

[NeonProdigy]

This sounds like it could be pretty fun, yeah.

Count me in.

I'll probably just play a human.

...Pokemon trainer maybe? Hmm...

*goes off to plan out his character*

[MasterBlade]

Name: Hoofy Sparklecorn
Gender: Male
Age: 1
Color: Pink (or Bold Black when disguised)
Species: Pony

Physical description:

Background: Shortly after pony homunculi were created, Anonymous hacked Pony Undergound databases for knowledge on how to create their own troll homunculus. Hoofy Sparklecorn is the result of said project. He is a representative of all pony hate, and a dedicated anarchist of Anonymous, performing cyber-attacks while using his innocent looks to draw away attention. Hoofy is currently in rapture on mission to crash several pro-ADAM facilities to prevent governments from re-initiating the Little Sister programs of the 50's. Of course, he is to harass any ponies he finds along the way.

Items: Lulsec Turbo Trolltop (Good item)- A laptop created by the higher ups of anonymous using the group's collective power. Is decked out with a crapton of hacking programs, rage comics, vulgar imagery, and has a direct IP connection to Habbo Hotel at all times. It serves as Hoofy's main tool against tech agencies.

V for Vendetta Outfit (Bad Item)- A symbol of anonymous, and a super-villain outfit of sorts. It’s quite intimidating and hides Hoofy’s identity perfectly (despite being the only pony in rapture). It is always in his possession, and would directly link him to anonymous if he were to be searched.

Laptop Bag
Collection of "cutie mark" temporary tattoos for disguise
A generous amount of funds from anonymous
Spiked cupcake

Stats-
Body: Equine
Mind: Calculating
Skill: Hacking
Flaw: Fingerless

MasterBlade, may I suggest hosting that pic at tinyurl instead of FileSmelt? I can't see it.

Edit: There we go.

[MasterBlade]

I posted two of the link in the same IMG tag. Doesnt like it :V

You sir, are a magnificent bastard for that pony.

No-one's getting in that pool, because it is so closed you have no idea.

[forkinyoureye]

No-one's getting in that pool, because it is so closed you have no idea.

I'm confused.

[Triangle Man]

I'm confused.

Just popping in here to say that it's a reference to the Habbo Hotel Raids that Anon conducted.

For related information, search 'Pool's Closed, Motherfucker'.

Anyways, I probably won't be taking part in this (for now), so you kids have fun in Rapture, okay?

*swings out of thread, breaks a window on the way out*

[forkinyoureye]

...God damn it, Triangle Man. You need to stop doing that. I'll give you a free pass this time, because you were helpful, but that's it.

There's this thing called a door, you may have heard of it? Hell, I'd be fine with you just opening the windows before you leave through them.

[Wiwaxia]

I don't think I'll take part in this one, as I don't want to hog all the crossovery goodness for myself, but I'll be watching it with interest.


Oh yes, I'll be watching...

[Triangle Man]

But breaking windows is my trademark ...

Seriously, though, good luck with this thing. May you be the most excellent Gamemaster and make what I assume will be glorious insanity awesome, Fork.

I'll probably do what Wiwaxia will be doing, see if I can't join in at a later time but mostly just see how this goes, okay?

[thunderheadSeeker]

Name: Evan Reiley
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Color: Orange

Description: Evan has a light tan, with wavy blonde hair and green eyes. He's about 5'8" and is slightly muscular.

Background: Originally from Seattle, Evan's family moved to Boston for his dad's work when he was in the 10th grade. He had already become a bit withdrawn in middle school, but not enough to seriously worry anybody. By the time he entered college at Miskatonic U, he only had a couple close friends. Otherwise, he had developed a reputation as being generally untrusting, anxious, and slightly paranoid. However, this does not seriously impact his work or daily life. Partly because of a weed habit he developed in high school. While he has seriously cut back since almost getting busted his sophomore year of college, he has never completely given it up. Currently, Evan is a researcher for the Anthropology department at Miskatonic. He's come to Rapture on a project documenting the fall and decay of Rapture, and the rumors of resettlement of the unrenovated sections.

However, while it may seem strange to others, Evan has good reason to be cautious. Back in fourth grade, his class went on a field trip to a Crockercorp baking facility. It was 1996-the last year they offered tours, for some reason. Evan, needing to use the bathroom, split from the rest of his class to find one. The next thing he remembered was being on the bus going back to school. He could not remember most of the trip, and none of his classmates recalled him leaving. At first, he just dismissed it. Then the nightmares started.

Frequently, he would wake up in a cold sweat, heart pounding and unable to scream. It was always the same-A strange, horned woman with pink eyes. A short man with a blank, white face. A green skull with flashing eyes. At least, those were the most consistant, memorable parts. Other odd occurrances would happen from time to time. Once, Evan blacked out in class, and woke up to find 6 1/2 pages in his notebook filled with the word "ALTERNIA". Another time, he was taken to the principal's office for yelling "HE IS ALREADY HERE!" in the middle of class, which Evan had no memory of doing. When he turned 13, he began to notice men in red jackets following him around. He could only figure it had something to do with the dreams and other bizzare shit. They never approached him, but he began to notice them wherever he went. Before moving, he found several bugs in his room. He managed to destroy them, but never told his parents. After moving to Boston, the jacket men appeared much less often, but never stopped showing up. At the same time, the incidents gradually lessened in frequency. It has been 7 years since the last incident, when Evan filled his roommate's drawers with pool balls (no memory-surprise, surprise), and 4 since he last had the nightmare.

Items:
Blackberry: Evan's trusty smartphone. It's fairly old and beat up, but it still gets the job done. He tends to store his notes on here.
Charger: Because a phone needs power.
Crank radio: A crank powered HF/AM/FM/Weather radio Evan takes on long trips. It's how he keeps up on the news, etc. when his phone can't get a signal.
Green polo, tan shorts, white sneakers: Already equipped
Two (2) small bags of marijuana: Evan only occasionally uses this stuff now, usually when he gets really whacked out. Lucky he didn't get searched.
One (1) small pack of rolling paper: Guess.
Lighter: Has a Gorillaz logo on it.
Small shake flashlight: Shake to charge.
Switchblade: Has a 4" blade and an alchemical seal on the handle, which seems to be purely decorative. Evan is pretty skilled with it, having trained himself to fight if necessary. He also considers it lucky. *GOOD ITEM*
Green stone: Evan found this on a shelf in the Miskatonic library a couple years ago. He took it mainly because he found it odd, but there also seemed to be a kind of 'pull' to it. The stone exudes cold, and there's something off about it that Evan just can't place. However, he just can't ditch it for some reason. *BAD ITEM*

Stats:
Body: Skinny, slightly muscular
Mind: Quick, can become flighty
Skill: Stealth
Flaw: Paranoia

[snoomanwaff]

Edit: Question retracted.

[MasterBlade]

Species: human, homunculus, poleepkwa, and pony are available for player characters.

Unless the doc has a significant edit to put them in, I don't think so.

[snoomanwaff]

Ah I see. Sorry.
I'll need some time to come up with something.

[causticlyOptimitious]

Hmm... still building my character, but what's the policy on starting with pokemon?
