IC DOUBLE TROUBLE

[OOC thread]


Prologue (every character canonically goes through this when joining.)
(Waking up, faint light is all your confused eyes can see as they flutter open. As you adjust to your surroundings, you notice you're in an elevator of some sort. Plain grey walls, LEDs on the top corners of the room, and two closed metal doors are the only notable sights in your view. As you stand up, something doesn't feel quite right. Deep down in your stomach, you feel... empty. Incomplete. Before you can truly process your situation, static comes from seemingly everywhere at once. A robotic, dull, yet cocky voice echoes throughout the elevator.) "HELLO, FOOLS, AND WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME. WELL, LESS OF A HOME AND MORE OF AN ETERNAL PRISON YOU WILL SUFFER IN UNTIL YOU DIE. I AM !Trans-Universal Instructional System!, OR TUIS, ROBOTIC GUIDE OF THE OWELI FACTION'S GRAND !Parallel Advanced Research Facility! EXPERIMENT. HERE IN THE PERF, WE HOLD, OR WILL HOLD, THE WORLDS' MOST ADVANCED STUDY ON WHAT WE DUB 'PARALLELS:' TWO SEPERATE PEOPLE WITH ESPECIALLY STRONG CONNECTIONS TO EACH OTHER. YOU TWO HAVE MET OUR REQUIREMENTS AND HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE PERF. SUCH AN HONOR.”

“BY THE VERY ACT OF BEING HERE, YOU AGREE TO OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS. THESE INCLUDE:

  • I will not escape.
  • I consent to limiting my power.
  • I will be your lab rat.
  • I will be Soulbound to my Parallel.
  • I will not escape.
  • !No Breaking Entrance Door!
THESE MAY OR MAY NOT BE EXPANDED IF YOU FOOLS TRY TO OUTSTEP OBVIOUS BOUNDARIES THAT WERE NOT LISTED HERE.”

(A sudden jolt makes you nearly fall over vibrates through your veins. The lights on the top corners brighten as a ding rings through the box. The two elevator doors slide open, inviting you through.) “THAT IS A ONE WAY DOOR TO THE PERF. YOU WILL GET ONLY SOME OF YOUR POWER BACK BY GOING THROUGH IT. BEFORE YOU LEAVE, YOU MAY ASK ME ONE QUESTION, AND I WILL ANSWER IT IF POSSIBLE. IF I CANNOT, YOU CAN EITHER LEAVE OR ASK ANOTHER. A SUCCESSFUL ANSWER WILL PREVENT ME FROM ANSWERING ANOTHER. WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION?” _____

Name: Ethan1
Nicknames (Optional): "King of the Ethans"
Gender: Male.
Text Color:
d8701e.
Appearance:
New Piskel-1.png (29)-1.png.png

Personality: Can be a bit rude, very unpredictable, but if he enjoys your presence, he'll be very nice and kind. Once you get to know him, he's one of the bestest friends one can ask for. If you piss him off, however, you're :red:ed, as he holds grudges, never forgets, and can be very ruthless.
Equipment (Optional): A circular, sharp orange azure disk that does no physical harm but absorbs your life force, causing fatigue & an early death, that returns to him like a boomerang, & a toolkit which allows him to break/make machinery.
Theme (Optional):
Backstory (Optional): He was created by some deity to be used to play a video game, the game kept crashing, and the deity thought it was his fault so he created ethan2, who had no problems, so ethan1 was forgotten about. Out of jealousy, he invented a cloning machine to clone himself so he could kill ethan2, but in an attempt to stop him, ethan 2 jumped in the machine as well, but that merged their DNA to create almost NINE TRILLION CLONES. Eventually, they accepted their differences and became great friends. Ethan1 even ended up being crowned the "King of the Ethans".
Abilities: If he needs to, he can summon more orange azure weaponry. Also, he's VERY fast. All of the Ethans are fast, it's what makes them erratic.
Strengths: Intelligence, trickery, & unpredictability. He is a wild card.
Height: 3.2 inches tall.
Weight: Not decided yet.
Exploitable flaws: Height, poor defenses & their ego.
Extras (Optional): They have a single tiny beard hair on their cheek, and they're incredibly proud of it.
Name: ethan2
Nicknames (Optional): None.
Gender: Male
Text Color:
3b3b3b
Appearance:
ethan2(Arena)-1.png-1.png-1.png (3)-1.png.png

Personality: Usually likes to keep to themself, but is fond for those who stick by. He tends to go with the flow, changing very little
Equipment (Optional): A pre 1.4.4 Terra Blade & a cardboard replica of Fishron wings. Due to his craftsmanship, they work perfectly! He's now basically a big fly.
Theme (Optional):
Backstory (Optional): Same as ethan1, they essentially share a backstory & just take different roles.
Abilities: Flight, Speed (just like every other Ethan), & being fire resistant.
Strengths: Sneakiness, Craftsmanship, & Perception.
Height: 3.1 inches tall.
Weight: Not decided yet.
Exploitable flaws: Height, poor defenses & they can jump to conclusions.
Extras (Optional): They like to draw, but they suck at it.
Name: ethan1²
Nicknames (Optional): The Gradient
Gender: Male
Text Color: FF9C59, Bold.
Appearance: They' wear all orange like ethan1, but in several different creamsicle-colored hues. They have a mask covering their mouth, & have a long ponytail.
There's paint splatter on their face.
Personality: It's a mixture between both ethan1 & ethan2, as well, The Gradient forms when ethan1 & ethan2 fuse into one entity in a process known as "squaring". This requires working together, as well, both people share the singular body.
Equipment (Optional): A cardboard replica of the Solar wings from terraria (They work.) A tool kit, & a Paintbrush blade, which is essentially an upgraded combination of the weapons ethan1 & ethan2 have.
Theme (Optional):
Backstory (Optional): Same as the previous two.
Abilities: All of the abilities the previous two had.
Strengths: All of the strengths as the previous two had.
Height: 1 foot tall
Weight: Not decided yet.
Exploitable flaws: Poor defenses, Height, & requires working together to work.

... Uhhh
I have literally 1 oc, Rope god, time to make another one(or two)
 
Perhaps this is where he can come in. (would a tyrant of the seas oc be interesting?)
 
Name: Sunny Sun
Nicknames (Optional): Sunny Sun
Gender:
Male
Text Color:
eeee00
Appearance:
SunnySun.jpg

Personality:
Very friendly, but also very naive.
Equipment (Optional): Preposition cards. He can insert them into himself to teleport. So if he says "UNDER that tree!" and puts the UNDER preposition card into himself, he will teleport to be under that tree. However, after being nerfed, his cards can only be used with a successful DC 10 D20 roll or DC 5 D10 roll.
Theme (Optional):
Backstory (Optional):
Abilities:
He's the sun, so he's normally very hot and dangerous to touch, but after being nerfed, he's very safe to touch, just like how he is IRL. He can still attack with solar flares, but he has to get within melee range in order to do so, and the attacks are much weaker than they used to be. Previously, he could shoot them all over the place, but now his solar flares are more like a tiny flamethrower.
Strengths:
Being the sun, he's great at seeing, and he doesn't need to eat or drink. He still needs to sleep though.
Height:
6 inches
Weight:
I'm not exactly sure, but very lightweight.
Exploitable flaws:
He's very naive.
Extras (Optional):
His main method of movement, when he's not teleporting, is rolling around.
Name: Eau
Nicknames (Optional):
Gender:
Male
Text Color:
abcdff
Appearance:
A mage wearing light blue robes. He's not wearing a hat.
Personality:
Very cautious, unless his staff is in Hydrated form, in which case he's unusually reckless.
Equipment (Optional):
A staff that's tipped with a hygroscopic crystal. Casting any spell with it adds 1 Hydration Point to the staff, and reaching 100 activates Hydrated mode, where it functions as a melee weapon until the end of the page. At the end of the page, the staff runs out of water and reverts to its Anhydrous form, where it works as a staff again. Soaking it in water can add 2 Hydration Points per post, or fill it up to 100 if he soaks it in water during a timeskip. If Eau is hit by a water-based attack, the staff gets 1 Hydration point. If he gets hit by a fire-based attack, his staff loses 2 Hydration Points.
Theme (Optional):
Backstory (Optional):
Abilities:
Water magic. It's very weak, since he was nerfed. He actually only has two spells; one that shoots a blast of water, and one that summons a shield which adds +1 on a defense roll. Due to mana limitations, he can only use one spell per post.
Strengths:
He's very analytical, so while he can be slow to think, he usually thinks of logical and effective solutions to problems.
Height:
5'7"
Weight:
Idk.
Exploitable flaws:
Very weak when his staff is anhydrous.
Extras (Optional):

“BREAK A LEG, ETHANS. YOU TWO WERE ESPECIALLY ANNOYING TO CAPTURE DUE TO YOUR HEIGHT, SO I MEAN THAT LITERALLY. HOWEVER, I AM STILL OBLIGATED BY MY CODE TO ANSWER A QUESTION. OR YOU CAN LEAVE NOW. THAT WOULD BE NICE.”

There is a good set of options for the Parallel, and that’s what matters; therefore, I can’t judge yet. That is a good start, though.

Sorry if I’m being a moron, but I can’t exactly put my finger on what connects these two. Can you explain?

Uhh, We don't, but...
...The Gradient does.
[They square (aka fuse) into The Gradient.]
Can we have a ban on the nickname "creamsicle chick?" A lot of people jokingly call me that name just because I wear eyeshadow. And it pisses me off to no end.
 
Figured something out. I regret nothing.
The Pyrite Goose
Pyre
Male
Text Color: Fac51c
Appearance: A small goose, except completely gold. Or so you'd think. It's actually made of pyrite, or Fool's gold.

Equipment: Goose.

Height: 2 feet
Weight: 500 pounds (cuz solid metal)
Exploitable flaws: If you honestly think this guy would attack someone or hurt a fly without being provoked, you'd be wrong. Very sensitive about the fact it's not gold. Don't mention that it's pyrite and not gold. Can be put to sleep by an Antimagic Field.
Extras(connection to the other: Created by the same magic to be twins with the other, sharing the same form.
The Brass Duck
Bron
Male
Text color: Fba026
Appearance: A seemingly normal duck but made of Bronze. WRONG! It's made completely out of brass.

Equipment: Duck.
Theme: coconut mall but it's in a minor key
Backstory: Created by a Master Engineer 1000 years ago to be his intern. After his death, He waits in his tower, for another reckless upstart to show up to become the next Great Engineer, the highest title of the Engineer's Creed.

Strengths: Can withstand temperatures of up to 900°C, made of magic (not affected by anything that would destroy a mechanical thing)

This was originally gonna be a stupid meme duo but then I realized this is the start of my own little universe

"AH YES, THE DUCK AND THE GOOSE. MAYBE YOU'LL FIND YOUR 'GREAT ENGINEER.' AS A FELLOW ROBOT, I CAN RELATE TO YOUR LIFE. SOMEWHAT. NOT AT ALL, ACTUALLY. THAT DOESN'T MATTER, THOUGH, SO GET ON WITH YOUR QUESTION. IT BETTER BE BETTER THAN WHAT THE FIRST ONES TO ARRIVE ASKED.
 
"THAT IS WHAT YOU ASK? FOOLS. NO, WE CANNOT BAN THAT. I ENJOY YOUR SUFFERING. NOW LEAVE.
The Gradient sighs, before breaking apart into ethan1 & ethan2.
..See you later...?
[The Ethans leave, beginning their adventure in whatever area they're at.]

Yes, actually, I had a very good question.
Where are-

Do you sell any Grapes?
WHAT? WE GET ONE QUESTION AND THAT'S WHAT YOU ASK?
It was a good question...
YOU IDIOT!
 
[By the way, thanks for crediting me on both the OC application template & for basing TUIS bot on Statik! I'm glad I could awaken a passion of roleplaying in you!]

(This is a very interesting and unique concept...

Unfortunately I don't have a unique pair of ocs to go into this)
 
You can always make some!
(I could but coming up with character ideas is a nightmare and after that, you gotta explore them a bit before publishing)
 
{Frick, I missed this post. Although I feel it's a bit shaky, OCs that follow this ruleset are hard to make, so it is accepted.}
"THE SUN. THE RAIN. BOTH ARE ALWAYS IN THE SKY, YET THEY ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE. EXCEPT WHEN THEY'RE NOT. THAT HAPPENS SOMETIMES. I AWAIT YOUR QUESTION.
 
You know, Bread had a nice earthy rich taste.
What? No? It's soft and fluffy.
You're insane.
You're insane! Grains are earthy!
Bread turns the Earthy into Fluffy!
It stays earthy throughout the breading process!

*After much arguing about the taste of bread, they go through the door. Literally. They break though it just by walking.*
