Hello and welcome to this rather deadly danmaku crossover RP. Since there's a lot of info to go over, the nitty-gritty will be in the spoilers below, but I'll give you a quick rundown right here.

 

In this RP various characters from universes related to the danmaku/bullet hell genre of games are brought together to fight in gladiatorial matches. The RP will be split into two parts: A social phase where the characters can roam and do as they please. And a combat phase where they're pitted against one another in battle. The battles will be executed using a rather RNG-heavy mechanics system with an emphasis on positioning and customization. the RP as a whole will focus largely on the combat, but will also look to explore how the characters interact under these extreme conditions.

 

Setting Info:

Spoiler

~Bullet Hell~

Abyss's domain, rarely does one come to this horrible place by choice. It manifests as a small town in the middle of an otherwise empty purple expanse. The dim lighting and dull grey buildings don't help the dreary aesthetic. Those unfortunate enough to be sent here are forced to fight each other in merciless battles. Those who attempt to avoid fighting are tortured until they submit. Fights are scheduled irregularly and the matchups are decided only a short time before the battles begin. It becomes a challenge to stay sane, and many give in and simply accept their fate, joining in the cheering as more and more of their peers slaughter each other. Those who find themselves rising above the competition are given hope: should they win eight fights, they'll be brought before Abyss and given a choice. Should they choose correctly, they'll be set free of Bullet Hell.

 

But winning those eight fights is no easy task. And after losing, there's a chance on may die. This chance is based on an individual's "Death Counter," a number assigned to them that effects how likely they are to die upon being defeated. In the instant one takes fatal damage in combat, their Death Counter is checked against a random number ranging from 1 to 6. Should their counter be greater than or equivalent to this number, their death will be made permanent. If not, they will live on a little longer and their Death Counter will increase by one. Some have the ability to mitigate their deaths in various ways, but all still have to face the consequences of sending others closer to theirs.

 

~Danmaku World~

Danmaku World (and yes it is called that, the residents are aware that their world exists purely for the purpose of danmaku). Is a happy world where everyone learns to fight each other with their danmaku in light-hearted matches and tournaments in the hopes of becoming the strongest in the world. At a young age (usually 12), children set out on adventures to face new and exciting opponents and improve their skills. Their eventual goal being to enter in the World Tournament where they’ll face off against the best of the best in a battle to determine who is the best. This tournament occurs once a year, the final fight is always between the tourney winner and last year’s champion.

 

But everything is not as it seems. This world is simply one of many various worlds centered on this style of combat. And unlike most of its brethren which exist for their own purposes, this one exists almost exclusively for the purpose of feeding Bullet Hell. Those who reach the World tournament but fail to win are rarely heard from again and quickly forgotten by the world. The truth is that they are sucked into Bullet Hell with little chance of ever returning.

 

Danmaku World is rather small, being comprised of a largely circular mass of land surrounded by water. There are four major cities, three forming a triangle with the fourth precisely in the center. These cities are:
Magica - The northern point. Known for the users of magic that emerge from it. (Magic place)

Gun City - The southwestern point. Known for its many prominent gun wielders and technological advancement. (High-tech cowboys)

Masktropolis - The southeastern point. Known for its focus on training oneself and usage of simpler weaponry such as swords and bows, as well as the many animal-like residents. (Ninja catgirls)

Arena - In the center. The city where the world tournament takes place. Those living here are generally considered less suited for danmaku due to the general lack of training in favor of more traditional work such as running food shops. This doesn’t stop many a child inspired by the many tournaments held here from being inspired to journey to the other cities and learn to become a powerful threat in combat.

 

~Multiverse Stuff~

Bullet Hell and Danmaku World are but a small part of a multiversal cluster. As mentioned above, their exist many more danmaku-related worlds which exist for their own purposes. Thanks to Abyss's meddling, these worlds now feed into Bullet Hell and people from those worlds are just as likely to be captured as those from Danmaku world. Of importance is that these are not necessarily the true forms of these universes, but rather specific versions that more easily interact with Bullet Hell. (Basically, in-universe explanation of why this is all non-canon within the original universes unless someone who can speak for that canon says so.)

 

~Curtain Limbo~

As Bullet Hell is not truly Hell, many there still profess belief in an afterlife. This is often seen as nothing but an empty hope, but many still cling to it as they have nothing else to hope for. It's unknown where the concept came from, but this afterlife is often referred to as Curtain Limbo. It is in turn said that this itself is not the true afterlife, but rather a place where those who die in Bullet Hell are sent to be judged based on the results of their actions in the previous world. None have ever witnessed real evidence of Curtain Limbo's existence, as even if there is another life beyond death, there is no return to this life from death.

 

System info:

Spoiler

~Choosing Positions~

The board (for lack of a better term) is comprised of 40 space on either side. Each turn players select a space to occupy, a shot to use, and a focus point for their attack. The occupied space may be no more than four spaces away from the space occupied the previous turn (EX: if you occupied 20 last turn, the farthest you can move to this turn would be 24 and 16) and the shot’s focus may be no more than six spaces away from the occupied space (so from space 20 the max is 26 and 14). These choices will all be sent to the person running the fight via PM so that turns may be executed by both sides at the same time. On the first turn you may position yourself anywhere you like between spaces 10 and 30.

 

Note: You may choose to do this in your post using spoilers instead of over PMs, be aware that I won't be enforcing anything so you'll have to rely on your opponent being honorable.

 

~Determining Hits and Grazing~

Once the above is done, focus points shift to one of five spaces: the focus chosen or 1-2 spaces above/below its current number. Then shots are fired, you fire 1 shot+one extra per point you’ve invested in rate. Shots strike randomly within your spread area, which is half your spread in either direction from your adjusted focus (prioritizing upwards first). If an attack strikes your opponent or up to two spaces on either side of them, you have the potential to deal damage.

 

Grazing is a chance for you to avoid a bullet even if it’s aimed at you. A bullet aimed directly at the space you occupy has a 15+[Graze] chance of missing, bullets aimed one space over have a (15+[Graze])*2 chance, and bullets striking two away have a (15+[Graze])*3.5 chance. Successfully grazing from the first two cases grants Charge/2+5 Energy. If you fail to Graze the hit in any of these cases, you will take damage equal to the opponent’s Power+1.

 

Since all of that is way too complicated to do step by step every time, I wrote a program to do all of the work for me. It’s probably even more confusing than the above because I’m bad. Even if you can’t figure out how it works from my messy code, toying with the stats and running a few attacks should give you a general idea of what’s going on (if not, I am open for questions ^^).

~Bombs and Energy~

Bombs are more powerful shots that can only be used under limited conditions. Once you’ve stored enough energy you can choose to use a bomb in place of your standard shot. You gain Energy equal to your Charge stat+2 at the end of every turn you either take or deal damage (no sitting in opposite corners building charge :P) and Charge/2+5 Energy from grazing. Aside from Effects, there is no other way to gain Energy.

 

~Effects~

Effects can be virtually anything you want (so long as it doesn’t drive me completely bonkers), even to the point of creating defensive or utility-based shots. They’re here to help make your character more unique. Many effects can be added to character or shot for free, but oftentimes they’ll have a cost attached if you want to do anything really fun.

 

~Losing and Death~

You lose a fight when your HP is reduced to 0. If both characters are reduced to 0 in the same turn, the one with the most direct hits wins. If this is a tie it moves to side hits, and finally far hits. If somehow all three of these are tied, both sides lose.

 

Upon taking critical damage and losing a fight, a d6 will be rolled to see whether or not a character dies. If the number on the d6 is less than or equal to their death counter, they shatter into oblivion. Once killed a character may never be returned to life in Bullet Hell or the life they held before coming there. Death in this manner can be staved off by increasing your HP and using character Effects. You’ll also have a point subtracted from your death counter every three fights you win. If you manage to survive your death roll, your counter increments by one.

 

~Rewards~

Whenever you win a fight, you'll be granted a choice of rewards depending on how many fights you've won
1. New shot or 25 Energy

2. New shot or 50 Energy

3. New bomb or -1 to death counter

4. New shot or 75 Energy

5. New shot or 100 Energy

6. New bomb or -1 to death counter

7. New bomb or two new shots

8. 100 energy and access to the Choice

Shot

Rules:

Spoiler

• Keep calm. This RP is heavy on combat and there's a good chance you'll lose
• No godmodding, powerplaying, etc. These are general RP taboos and they shouldn’t be done here. I won’t be going over them here, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still a problem.
• No metagaming, do your best to separate your knowledge from your character's
• Keep Suism in check. Mary Sues aren’t truly a binary, off/on kind of deal. They are more fluid a concept. So please use your better discretion. I will let you know if you’re going too far in that direction.
• If you take more than ten days to post when your turn comes you will be removed from the RP (exceptions can be made under extenuating circumstances, so long as I'm informed ahead of time and not after the fact)
• Die horribly Have fun

 

Character Sheet:

Spoiler

Couple notes that didn't end up anywhere else

• Canon characters from danmaku universes are allowed (and preferred over expies of said canon characters)
• Characters may be from any danmaku related universe, usually this means video games
• Characters may be expies of characters from non-danmaku universes into a danmaku universe and then yoinked into Bullet Hell
• After you've been through at least one combat, you may submit a secondary character

Terumi is accepted (Note: Blazblue doesn't normally count as danmaku, but GoGRWBY convinced me to let this character specifically through)

 

EDIT: More changes

• Homing nerfed to one space to better come in line with Focused
• Accuracy buffed to not be garbo
• You now have to start between spaces 10 and 30, this way people don't have to spend three turns moving into each other by accidentally starting on opposite sides of the board and prevent characters focused on high spread shots from winning outright in the early game

-9/2/17- (No changes made to the OP/program as of this posting)

• Nerfed far Graze multiplier to 3.5
• Nerfed Restoration and Restoration analogues to cost 100 Energy. I originally designed it under the assumption that a 15-20 Charge character wouldn't be able to survive the 2-3 turns with hits needed to nullify the loss accumulated. I was very much wrong about this. Now a Restoration character will have a much harder time choosing between using a Bomb to attempt a win and saving their Energy to negate a loss. Also it's now impossible to double-restore off of one fight, which is something I didn't consider when originally designing the effect. (Despite the similar purpose, I won't be changing Self Observation.)
• Self-Healing nerfed to only activate on turns where there are hits. No one should ever getting anything for hiding in a corner

Edited September 28, 2017 by GodofGamingRWBY

[Shamitako]

Since fights are mostly over I've got more info to judge balance by.

 

Game balance:

• HP base and scaling are being massively buffed. Base HP is now 50 from 15 and scaling is now 5*Health from 3*Health. 30 Health now puts you at 200 HP from 105 HP
  • I've been wrestling with a buff for HP since before the RP began. The low base meant that without solid investment you were getting bopped at the slightest touch, which I felt fit the concept of danmaku and thus took measures to balance around. But Health, although requiring at least some investment was clearly inferior to Graze defensively. And with most turns dealing 20-30 damage, good turns heading up towards 70-90, average HP being 45 really doesn't cut it at all. 50 base HP means investing in Health is no longer required to not shoot yourself in the foot and the increased scaling will help make Health more worthwhile elsewise.
  • I'll be reevaluating effects related to Health, HP, and Death Counters in response to this change.
  • Due to fights naturally going longer, I'll be looking to rebalance Charge slightly in the future. The goal will be a buff to high charge but a nerf to average and low charge.
• Melee is being nerfed. Instead of canceling Far hits it now instead deals 50% damage on Side and Far hits
  • Far hits are rare enough that the current melee is effectively a better Beam unless the opponent has terrible Graze. Taking away damage from Side hits as well as Far gives it a much riskier cost.
• Self-Healing now heals for [Charge] from [Charge]/2.
• Homing now procs before your focus adjusts instead of after, this way if you aim directly at someone it doesn't end up functionally the same as Focused (and thus still superior for the same cost)
• Damage is now flat Power from Power+1. 0 Power shots don't hurt anymore so you'll have to dip at least 1 point to make them do so.

 

Character balance:

• Suguri SP's Counter no longer gives Energy
• Akemi's Death in Four Acts falls off immediately upon failing to land an attack
• Mokou's Phoenix Revive now costs 60 Energy from 40
• Mokou's Spontaneous Human combustion now scales based on maxHP rather than a flat value. It is now maxHP/([Spread]/2) from 15-[Spread]
