[Interest Check] Bullet Hell


Shamitako

Recommended Posts

A flash of light and it was all over. Hours of precise dodging down the drain as a glowing red shot smashed her to bits. Her opponent, some nutty clown bitch, received a round of cheers from the watching crowd. It still astounded the girl how they could cheer like that when any one of them could be next. It was no surprise she'd lost, the nutcase across the way was undefeated. There was no way some girl who could barely comprehend her situation was going to best a veteran. That hadn't stopped her from hoping she might have some chance. Back home she was actually known for being a pretty good fighter... but back home you didn't play for keeps. As the last gasps of her consciousness shattered into oblivion, her eyes met with those of this land's ruler. Those ever empty grey eyes showing no emotion whatsoever as another poor soul was dispatched into nothingness. Somehow this gave the girl a sense of peace, at least she would finally be escaping that madwoman's hell.

Welcome to Bullet Hell, an insane land ruled by the heartless Abyss and her evil whimsy. Those unfortunate enough to be sent here are forced to fight in gladiator style matches against one another using their danmaku or face endless torture. It's not a completely hopeless deal, however, those who win enough matches are given the Choice by Abyss. If they choose correctly they are set free

 

Characters may hail from any danmaku-related universe. An original and very open setting will be provided for those who want to get real crazy about it. Both OCs and canon characters will be allowed.

 

This will be running mechanical fights instead of my usual freeform. I need to iron out the system some more, but the general concept is done. You can expect high customization and a fuckton of RNGesus. At the same time, I hope to at least vaguely emulate the feeling of careful positioning being a significant factor.

 

The RP will be largely PVP, but I do plan to include a social phase of some kind to allow for character development. On a related note: There will be permadeath, but I plan to ensure that a character has been around a little while before they're eligible to die. Want people to get attached before they get crushed.

 

Pls be interest I've put too much work into this monster for it to die owo

 

With Hope,

Lexi

 

EDIT: Sheet and system here

 

EDIT2: Example NPCs

 

EDIT3: Generic Setting

Lol when I saw this I thought you were talking about the game genre because you can't see what forum section it's in when it pops up on the side

Not for me, but sounds interesting so hopefully it goes well for you =).

Generic Danmaku World description tossed in up above. Also added a couple more things to the NPCs. Planning to have all but Kyoko in the 

 

Here's a few generic shot effects to help you get started:

Spoiler

Bullet[0]: +2 stats (Note: Pretty inefficient compared to what I'm giving on other effects, but sometimes you're just gonna need a normal shot and I didn't want people to get nothing out of it, so this is the "default" shot effect)

Beam[0]: Deals 1.3x damage on direct hits

Melee[0]: Direct hits deal double damage but far hits are canceled out

Magic[0]: One graze per turn is turned into a hit, prioritizing direct>side>far

Homing[1]: When adjusting, focus automatically shifts two spaces closer to the opponent

Focused[1]: Focus can only adjust one space to either side instead of the usual two

Explosive[1]: If hit by this attack, the opponent can move one less space next turn

Wave[8]: Hits everywhere within its spread area at halved [Power] and [Rate]

Ballistic[8]: Direct hits cannot be grazed

Missile[11]: Direct hits cannot be grazed. If hit by this attack, the opponent can move one less space next turn

 

And the current draft for my PC

EDIT: Oh, also, expect OOC Friday/Tuesday. Maybe sooner if I can but unlikely if not tonight Looks like I can actually manage it tonight, I'll have it up shortly
