Onimusha:  They Shall Rise

Onimusha: They Shall Rise

0 INK

The war between the Onimusha, Destroyers of Evil, and the demonic Genma rages on. It shall begin again in modern times, and this time, the outcome is uncertain...

1,258 readers have visited Onimusha: They Shall Rise since Vergil1989 created it.

Introduction

Forgive me since this is my first RP on this site. Also, this was a work in progress when I put it up on RPG Forums and so far it has gotten no replies but plenty of views since yesterday.

"One has fallen, without realizing the final hope. One has fallen clinging to his fate. One has fallen leaving the fate of the future to his companions. History is riddled with the waves of destruction and rebirth. These waves roll onward far into the future. Much has been destroyed. Many have perished."

This tale that is about to be unveiled shall be forever etched into our history so that past sins are not repeated...

That is what the inscription on the 'Genma Stone' said anyway when it was unearthed, along with hundreds of skeleton remains in a dig deep in the forests and jungles of Africa. It told of the legend of the Oni and how they would rise again when the world was thrown into chaos by the rise of their most hated enemies, the Genma. Both races have been at war for countless years, the Genma always striking first against the humans they see nothing more as slaves and food for their ever growing legions of followers. The Oni artifacts, mixed in with the fallen warriors of their order were taken to American shores to be studied for many years. A dark orb was also uncovered within the Genma Stone that bore the legend, and it was soon discovered that it was a key to the Genma's release. The lab it was stored away in after the discovery was made was broken into and the dark orb stolen. It is appearant that another Genma War is on the rise, but when it will begin and who will be there to stop it is unknown.

Name;
Gender;
Race; Human, Genma, Oni. More details shortly.
Occupation; Human and Oni only for the most part unless you have passed off as human
Appearance;
Weapon of Choice and its base element; (Light, Dark, Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind.)
Fighting Style; Fist, staff, whatever and/or a style of Martial Arts
Personality;
Bio;

There's a couple of military branches and R and D divisions in the government that study such artifacts as the Oni and the Genma to better understand how they operate. If you're an agent of said branch, I'll go for that but for the most part what I want to worry about is the Genma and the Oni fights.

Onimusha are humans on the outside, but given the right trigger and enough power stored away, they can become so much more powerful than any force of nature this side of the divide. Most true Oni that I know of glow like a light bulb and have power arcing across their bodies, matching whatever element they are based on. Their faces become pale and their eyes glow and become uniform pits. Some become wild animals in their attacks while others become still and calm, both attacking with lightning quick movements that the enemy takes a few seconds to realize had ever found the mark more times than not. Only three CS Sheets will I take in this category.

Humans that come into possession of some magical power or weapon will be able to fight the Genma, but I'll only allow one such person, or two at the most that fit this category.

Pure Genma are evil, through and through. It has been recorded though that a few people born of such darkness have powers rivaling that of the Oni, and a few of these rare people have fought with the Oni against their own kind. Genma half breeds are human in nature, and very rarely do they look anything other than human except when they fight at full strength. The power they wield and said transformation, if they do transform at all, varies from person to person and how they fight as well. Genma Lords however, are an entire different breed of monster. Most Genma are soldiers to be used by the more powerful members, but the Lords are the rulers and the 'Gods' of the dark legion. Only one Lord will I allow to control the others as they see fit, and at least two lower level Genma bad guys under said demon commander. As for half breeds, two to four at the most.

I'll be adding a couple of pics and vids to illustrate what's what. For now this is what I have so far since my idea formed in my twisted little mind the other day lol. I hope this gets a lot of interest and we can kick off with a bang my arrival here. While I am on the subject, here is my own CS Sheet I created for this OOC today.

Name; Tenkai Nankobo
Gender; Male
Race; Long lived human
Occupation; Wandering wise man and chief researcher to what he would call Oni Labs.
Appearance; http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e82/S ... kobo-1.jpg
Weapon of Choice and its base element; Ice
Fighting Style; Staff, (unsure of style.)
Personality; Tenkai Nankobo is a wise and strong warrior. Throughout his eternally long life, forever gifted to walk the Earth as long as he is needed, Tenkai guides others with a gentle yet firm hand when need arises for the Oni clan to walk again.
Bio; Having come to America around the time its conception, Tenkai has watched from the shadows the beginnings of the fledgling country. While the world changed, Tenkai remained the same, blending into the modern day era as he gained new knowledge and experience as the years passed by. Modern day New York, and Tenkai has found his way into what he would call Oni Labs, the center of where all the Oni weapons, armor, and other artifacts are studied, but never without him present since most of said artifacts have not lost any of their power despite the years of being buried and forgotten.

Toggle Rules

1; I don't take anything less than four sentence a post. I want this to be full of detail and character development as it can be.

2; Absolutely no auto hits or instant kills against other PCs unless worked out before hand.

3; The series of games since its conception, and I'm not talking about the spinoffs but the actual true and tested story of the Onimusha and Genma Wars have been rated M, and this shall be no different for the blood, gore, and strong language. Keep in mind however I don't want every other word to be an F Bomb or whatever.

4; Have fun with this my friends and may this last as long as the legends themselves.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Sorry for the delay guys and gals, I couldn't get into the site for a couple days. As for your question Incog, easy as pie, the harder ones I'll send after the first wave and you will hate me for it lol. Soki, glad to have you back on your feet and I'll check the posts after I get out of the shower. For now, again, sorry for the delay.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Soki is feeling better and has made his second post

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Verg, how hard should these drone Genma be that AMANDA is fighting? We talking easy as pie rip em to shreds with little effort, tough to kill bastards who don't seem to die but do little damage, or seriously badass Genma with a taste for death?

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Eastep, don't be saying that just yet. Soki is sick as well so we are probably going to end up held up as it were anyway. You two, get better as quickly as you can, then worry about this later on. Incog, PJammaz, get a post up as soon as you can unless you're sick and dying. You two are the only ones that haven't said much except for the one time.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

O.o
I guess you learn something new every day!
I had a feeling that this was based on a game, I just wasn't sure. What's the name of the game? I'm curious...

Sorry I've been missing, I caught a summer cold, or something. I'm still not over it, so don't wait up for me guys. I dont' think I'll be on here enough to take part in the roleplay. :(

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Hey, that's why we have OOCs lol. Don't worry about it my friend and get a post up when you can. Your character looks good Shadow and I dread the first encounter with her and Tenkai lol. I'll be posting here in a second, so be ready everyone is all I ask. AMANDA looks good as well Incog, and considering she just woke up and already has the beginnings of an attitude is funny in a way, scary in another lol.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Oh I didn't put enough detail in the Bio. I will go back and fix the info in a little bit. Kinda spammed with things to do right now. So much to do so little time to do it.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

hm Vergil my post is coming up I hope it's alright still feeling rather sickly sick

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Yes. The way a Genma attains power, if they are capable of doing so anyway, are by absorbing souls from those they defeat, the same for the Onimusha of course but the Oni only absorb the souls of the Genma if they can help it. Given the choice though, I'd rather be absorbed by an Oni myself lol. Anyway, personal preference aside, you are right in your assumption, although in the games that wasn't entirely true. They just sent bigger and meaner variations against the player in predetermined waves, but I figure it was time for the Genma to get a bit of an upgrade given the times lol. But you can fight as you see fit my friend. The soul thing I won't force on anyone, but I don't want your Oni powers spammed to death is all I ask until we face off against Shadow's Genma babe. Then we'll need to go all out more than likely. I have a question though Shadow; did Kima become a Genma by choice or was she always a demon or what is her story?

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

That is perfectly fine. You actually cleared up a big question I was about to ask you about the minions. You said on the chat what you said above and it got me thinking. So if I send out, let's just say 10 low level minions, they would be considered mindless and be easily delt with but if I sent out 3 low levels and 1 mid level minion they would be more organized and therefore more powerful?

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Very scary Shadow. You are good to go but be advised however that until you open the big portal or whatever it is that allows the Genma to come to our realm is open, keep your minions low is all I ask. Besides, most of the characters involved don't have a lot of experience against these guys. Also, on a side note, the Genma Lord is not a military rank persay in that sense, but rather a level of power a Genma may attain if they aren't a simple minded drone or anything like that. Most Genma that are below a certain level are mindless abominations, and are only concerned with wiping out everything in front of them unless a commander or higher type of Genma monster is nearby, then they become more dangerous in that sense. Sorry, I ramble I know lol.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Name:
Kima

Gender:
Female

Race:
Genma

Appearance:
Human Form
Image
Demon Form
Image

Weapon of Choice and its base element:
The Wind Stealer
Image

Fighting Style:
Kima prefers to fight with speed and agility. Lots of quick and tiny cuts to inflict maximum damage.

Personality:
Kima is a ruthless killer that prevels with her rezilent determenation. Kima never gives up on anything and is very vindictive. She brings a whole new meaning to the term "Hell hath no fury like a women sqorned." She does not let up or back down from anything.

Bio:
Kima has worked her way to be the Genma Lord through her sheer determination and force of will. She never backed down from a challenge and never intends to. Kima fought her way up the ranks with cold, calculating, movements that make the most disturbing people cringe. Starting out as one of the lower Genma, she slowly found that she could out think almost any other Genma and the ones she couldn't she quickly had dealt with with the few other Genma that followed her already. She rose quickly because she could think and act with strength beyond her when needed. She would trick, counter, and decieve her enemies to win. She has no boundaries she will not or has not crossed and does not intend to let anything so "weak" stop her from coming out on top.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Ok thanks. Sorry I didn't see that there was a first page. I will get to work on the Genma Lord and I want to know is there a limit on how many minions I can have? If so how many because I do not want to blow it out of porportion. I tend to do that when I do not have a limit. I really am surprised that I missed the first page but it's whatever. I will get straight to work with my character and his minions.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Shadow my friend, there was a CS Sheet on the first page.

Name;
Gender;
Race; Human, Genma, Oni. More details shortly.
Occupation; Human and Oni only for the most part unless you have passed off as human
Appearance;
Weapon of Choice and its base element; (Light, Dark, Fire, Ice, Earth, Wind.)
Fighting Style; Fist, staff, whatever and/or a style of Martial Arts
Personality;
Bio;

I hope this is enough for you and you being the Genma Lord is good, so long as you have both human and Genma minions both since there has been recorded cases of our own kind selling themselves or becoming possessed by Genma, either willingly or otherwise, and becoming that much stronger in either case.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

I am reserving the Genma Lord. I will have a character up when I see the Skeleton for the characters. I will also have a description for each of my minions. I have never played this game but I like the story so I am giving it a try, if I mess up, correct me on the OOC and I will edit my post on the IC. If that's fine then I will be one every now and again, since I am out of school now. I intend to get back in the hang of this since I have been gone for little over a year now.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

glad I already played it enough to know how each one fights XD so i'm good seeing as my guy's a decedent of the original Black oni Hideyasu ^^ and sorry for not posting yet been sickly sick anyways i'll be working on my first post right away

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

I finally found a good video of the first fights in Dawn of Dreams, as well as Tenkai fighting against one of the Genma Generals serving under the Lord. Please, study their arts well if you wish to survive in my RP. Lol, seriousness aside, I just wanted to point a few things out. The instant kills and the magic mostly, but the Genma that Soki is ripping apart at the first stage of the game. Darkness should have really been called lightning, but oh well. There are a couple of ways to do an instant or near instant kill attack. Use magic, block right before an enemy hits you, or attack right before their own lands, otherwise you're gonna get hurt.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhqQk5dz6j8&feature=related

But as for the RP goes and you don't know how to fight all that great, this should help a little bit in that area, as well as show what Soki looks like when he becomes an Onimusha in the second part. See ya!

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

Lol, anyway, the IC is ready for you guys and the link is working just perfectly now. Let's get this show on the road. Keep in mind that the actual outbreak of Genma has yet to happen and won't for a little bit is all I ask. I like to set the stage before allowing all Hell to break loose lol. That's just me though, and I hope it works out for ya guys and gals.

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

ah alrighty then o.o -blink blink blink blink-

Re: [OOC] Onimusha; They Shall Rise OOC/Interest Check

That's just the character I made to get into the Multiverse. My actual PC I'll be using for the RP is Tenkai.
