Cutstuff War Part 2: Re-opening Characters

[HD_]

Clues and reveals please.

HD must have his spoilers.

[Solar Equinox]

Keep it random if you give hints or not, surprises are always nice.

[Jman]

A small announcement.

There are a handful of characters that won't be appearing in this for one reason or another. I won't list anyone as final decisions haven't been made. But it's just a heads up.

If Soren does not appear then i'm going to cut off your head and organs then sell them on eBay

I have the same feelings... except I have different plans in mind

[Dr. Freeman]

So, a new thing. If someone has a question about anything, because I either forgot something, purposely didn't add something, or my writing is just confusing. Ask something and I'll probably answer it.
Probably.

[Solar Equinox]

A bit of a necro-bump Please don't kill me but I gave Stryker an appearance description.

[Dr. Freeman]

So I've been brainstorming, and I have a good idea of what is going to happen so now I have the post the list of characters that won't be appearing.

If some of your characters happen to be on this list, I'm sorry. It's not because the character is bad (Half of the characters that are cut are actually pretty decent) but I just don't have a good way to put them in the story. I hope everyone understands.

Cogahsah Tahtahrah
Tenshee Heenahnawhe
Oliver Lenheim
Joshua Ashtray
Rin Crosner (I believe Sora didn't want his other characters to show up...)
XXKSXX1
Mary "Su" Suwako Violet
Prince Ming Chen
Stryker

I believe that's the whole list. And once Thatguy finishes up his chapter (He's been busy, so it's all cool) I'm going to try to get back on track with this thing.

[Dr. Freeman]

...Insert awkward chuckle here?

OK, let's talk necrobump but whatever. Here's what's happening.

1. Thatguy was writing a chapter that was really well written compared to my crap. But things take time before motivation and busy with life and various other things.

2. In September I took the time to make a basic outline of my original idea for the rest of the war. There was some game changer around Round 11, I liked it for a couple of months but I found it too gimmicky after that

3. Time passed until late December where my old laptop died, killing my outline. RIP. Thatguy's still writing and I don't remember half the stuff.

4. I realize that I don't know where I'm going with half the plot points I have introduced, and I hate that I brought in an entirely original group of characters that need to do stuff.

5. Thatguy is almost done and I realize that the only way I'm gonna be satisfied is if I rewrite 90% of the plan for the rest of Part 2.

6. I realize the last update was in August and a lot of other crap has happened on the site, and new people have showed up. With the combination of that and the rewriting I decided to reopen characters for people to submit. If you already have 4 characters, then you're full yay. But if you don't, feel free to make some. Besides, I figured that the more characters I have (that are hopefully decent) the less cop out battles I can make.

Can I submit?

Name:The Bot Commander
Appearance:A human who is 39 years old. He looks like(and was) a military character, with a green military jacket, leather gloves and heavy boots. His attire is cloaked by a buttoned-up lab coat, except for his cap, which he wears at all times. The cap is round like a helmet, but flat on top. He has short black hair and dark magenta irises. He also has a scar... When travelling outside his base, he wears a hat that resembles a large white fedora over his cap to hide his identity further. Secretly, he is also a bit of a cyborg because under his attire, an arm and a foot are mechanical. They are hidden by skin-coloured casings shaped like organic versions of the corresponding parts and they do not make sounds whatsoever whenever they move. The casings fit nicely on the joints. Besides that, despite him seldom going around places these days, he is still very fit though he does not do too much large-scale fighting these days.

Personality:Not much is known about him except that he is a genius and likes to stay low profile. He is always interested in new technology as long as it has benefit. He used to be fierce but these days, he is weaker and relies on weapons for only self defence. When people recongnise him as the former Battle Intel, he will be surprised an question that fact.
Backstory:He used to be a fighter. Back then, he was called the "Battle Intel" because he was, and is very smart. He also seemed to be an unpaid mercenary since he never stayed in one army his entire career. One day, however, he retired due to severe injuries(which is also why he became a cyborg). He now lives in a building he made by remodelling a ruined shack which was in what used to be a battlefield that he went to. He created the 3 ScoutBots to travel the world for him(and eliminate threats to their owner on the way). He rarely goes out these days, mainly to find basic needs such as food and materials or to do his own investigations while the ScoutBots are busy. He once also contacted aliens to lend him tech for his survival and good life.
Weapon/Other Abilities: He still has some of his good military skills. Besides that, he also has:
Mechanical parts: His mechanical parts mentioned before are special though they do not grant any kind of superhuman abilities. They are coated with durable stainless alien alloy and function using nervous simulations. However, this also means they have artificial receptors, so when they get damaged, Bot Commander reacts as if he was in pain. The up-side of these receptors is that he can feel what he touches with said parts. The casing on his parts do not interfere with the receptors.
Ray Gun:He carries a pistol sized gun with him at all times in case of emergencies. It fires a powerful beam of compressed energy made mainly from light and heat. The gun is dark green, the front end and rod where the beam comes out are grey. The back part of the main body is grey. Like a pistol, the trigger is in front of the handle under the body but doesn't need to reload.
Force Field Projector;He carries this as well. It goes on his left forearm like an armband and he can project a force field by holding it as if he was erecting a shield(This 'shield' is the kind that is strapped to the user's arm). It can nullify most attacks.
Communication System:He uses 3 large screens to see what the ScoutBots are seeing and give commands. He also has a miniature version that can fold up and fit in his pocket.
Turret Sentry:Alien tech turrets surround his base and they only attack threats.
Retrieval Button:He can send the ScoutBots back to base in a second. It uses special warping tech that can work even if the subject(in this case, ScoutBots) is in any dimension at all, including dark places where they should be trapped forever.
Escape Tool:He can teleport back to base anytime and anywhere with the voice-activated command "FLEE".
Cloning Device:It scans data of atomic and molecular structures and saves them. This data can be used to project perfect copies of the material anytime, even if the actual material is absent. Bot Commander uses this to create replacement parts for his ScoutBots by duplicating the metal.
Live Holographic Globe:In his base, he has a hologram projector shaped like a globe stand. It can project a hologram of any planet. The projection changes when the said planet's surface changes shape majorly. When he does not need to see other planets, he sets it to the home planet.
Unity Remote:An infinite range remote with four buttons; grey, brown, blue and green. When the grey one is pushed, ScoutBots will come to Bot Commander's location. The other three buttons will tell two ScoutBots to reunite with the one corresponding to the button colour.(When brown button is pushed, Marine and Aero will come to Geo's current location, blue will call them to Marine's location, green to Aero's location, if flying the other two will be on the ground below.)
Intelligence:Bot Commander is very smart. Even smarter than a normal human after his meeting with the aliens. He uses this knowledge to rebuild/repair his ScoutBots, make useful gadgets and so much more. If the ScoutBots were somehow broken beyond repair, he can rebuild them from scratch with the exact materials, look, equipment and memory.

Other:He never and will not use bad words or profanity. He refers to his ScoutBots using "ScoutBot <serial number>"(e.g.: He calls Geo 'ScoutBot 01'). He also speaks British... Not the accent, but the language, as in how he spells and pronounce words and also his vocabulary. After his demise, the ScoutBots will panic and search for a new leader to give them commands and rebuild them every time they are destroyed... Every piece of high tech he uses, including the ScoutBots' contents, have NO magic what-so-ever AT ALL, just advanced alien tech. He is also so smart, he can rebuild the ScoutBots no matter HOW they are destroyed.

Name:GeoScout
Appearance:It is a robot about the height of Mega Man X with a bipedal humanoid form and two arms. The torso is brown, the forearms and forelegs are orange. The upper arms and legs are brown too. The hands are grey and the feet are brown. Its head is a grey sphere shape with details. The details are protruding brown earpieces on the side of its head. It has two glowing sky blue eyes and an orange mouth piece that resembles the one on a NormalNavi. It also wears a brown and orange mining helmet, the bulb flashing a sky blue light whenever on. It carries a large brown and orange inventory pack, an orange utility belt and the back of the head has a tempreature control system. All three ScoutBots have their respective serial numbers on their right forearms, Geo having 01.

Personality:It is a hardworking, efficient and obedient to its Commander. It once had a bad run-in with AeroScout. Geo is 'neutral' in the sense that it will only react once the possible enemy acts first. e.g.: If an enemy attacks GeoScout, Geo will fight back with fast reflexes.
Backstory:Bot Commander's first complete ScoutBot model, made to navigate land. AeroScout once accidentally blew it up with a heat seeking missile. After being rebuilt, it remembered that fateful day and had a distrust torwards Aero.
Weapon/Other Abilities:GeoScout is made of a light and durable alien metal. It has great travelling skill and can literally do parkour with its pack full of rocks sucessfully. The tempreature control system makes it survive most climates. It also has some things...
Machette:GeoScout's weapon of choice. It is used to cut tall grass and other things, but also used as a weapon.
Drill:Geo's main mining tool. It can break diamond. In case of emergencies, Geo uses the drill to impale enemies. The drill also stores rocks to use later.
Flamethrower:This is self explanatory. Besides that, as shown by Aero's accident, it is Geo's main source of weakness to heat seekers.
Grappling hook:Do I need to explain this as well?
Diamond maker:It is a mobile super-heater that pressurises carbon into diamond in any shape that Geo can use.
Geo makes combos with Marine and Aero:
Sky-chette:GeoScout's signature combo. Marine launches Geo with the Harpoon Gun and Geo uses the Grapping hook to cover more distance. Aero catches Geo and drops it. Then Aero uses Bomb Rain to distract the enemy, then Geo dives down with its machette and goes for the win!
Rocket Slash: Marine throws Geo into the sky and Geo performs flips to stay mid air until Aero catches it. Aero then jets forward at full power with Skycutter and Geo slashes the target with its machette. Whether the target is down or not, Geo and Aero pass through the enemy as if doing a quick draw.

Other:Serial number is 01. It cannot talk. A.KA. Geo. It will panic when Bot Commander is deceased. A few things inherited by Geo are shared by Marine and Areo. The three ScoutBots use alien tech, some of which are their weapons and tools, which can be easily turned to a small piece for convenient storage. Geo's current goal is to help the Bot Commander investigate the land for any inhuman odds of geology or biology. Another note shared by all ScoutBots; despite their conscious A.I. and the partial ability to think on their own(they still follow orders exactly), they have no A.I. gender due to their android-like appearence and inability to speak. A ScoutBot should be called 'it' when referred to in the form of pronouns.

Name:MarineScout
Appearance:It resembles Geo except it has blue instead of brown and aqua instead of orange. Instead of an explorer cap, it wears a blue scuba diving helmet without a face piece. The ear parts are aqua. In place of an inventory pack, it has an air pack to store matter. At the back of its head, it has a pressure control system. The eyes are yellow and there's a 02 on its right forearm.

Personality:It is obedient to its Commander. Marine is a 'coward' in a sense that it will try to flee from a fighter that is too formidable. When seeing something very unusual in the sea, Marine will get curious and try to investigate it.
Backstory:Second ScoutBot model made for the sea. It has an AI that tells it to flee from danger too tough for it.
Weapon/Other Abilities:MarineScout is made of the same metal as Geo. Marine is a skillful swimmer and can swim as deep as it wants without breaking because of its pressure control system.
Harpoon Gun:MarineScout's main wep. It fires a harpoon attached to a rope which can be drawn back. The tip is a good electric conductor.
AquaClean:A mobile tool that cleans the area of water around it. Mainly for pollution clearing, it can be used in combat by cleaning the water against the enemy's favour.
Propellers:Located under the feet, Marine sometimes uses this a form of increased mobility. The propellers are weaponised with razor blades. When not in use, they are compiled to a small size and stored in a compartment inside the feet.
Cryogenic Hands:Marine's palms can freely turn water, steam and vapour into ice using a special gas that can go -100 Degrees C without condensing. The gas is not stored, but made from common air in the air tank using a special device. This also makes Marine's weak point the hands. When the part where cold gas comes out is blocked by un-freeze-able solids while Cryogenic Hands are being used, there is a chance that it could freeze itself to unbelieveable tempreatures. When used underwater, it will not freeze the entire body of water, but increases range of freezing a bit. It also fills up the tank with water, giving Cryogenic Hands a new ability; If used while the air tanks are filled with water, they will create freezing fluid(Cryogenic Slime) that works a bit like Chill Spike in the sense that it is cold liquid that freezes and like the gaseous form, it cannot freeze an entire body of water. This ability is also the reverse of the gas form; when used above water, the 'air' tank will run out of liquid.
Taser:It electrifies the small(about 10 metres or so; range is a lot larger when underwater or wet) area around Marine. Marine's eyes also glow with sparks while this is used.
Makes combos with Geo and Aero.
Sparpoon:MarineScout's signature combo. Geo throws a diamond and Aero fires a blast of air, each with one hand. The other hand of each robot carries Marine, who is then thrown. While falling, Marine uses the taser on the harpoon and fires it violently torwards the enemy.
Frozen Block Smash:Geo and Marine pull the target in unison using their Grappling Hook and Harpoon Gun respectively. While the target is good and subdued, Marine engulfs it in ice and forcefully kicks the ice like it was a soccer ball. Aero crashes into the enemy, knocking it back and breaking the ice. The target likely gets injured from it.

Other:Serial number is 02. Cannot talk either.. A.K.A. Marine. Panics after Commander's demise. Marine's current goal is to investigate the sea for new discoveries. It also has a personal side goal to keep the sea clean. Since MarineScout is made for sea travel, it should be worth mentioning that the ScoutBots' metal is immune to rusting, stains and most corrosive chemicals(with the other few substances being lethal and in-humanly out-of-this-world. However, ScoutBots can still be rebuilt even after being dissolved by said chemicals...).

Name:AeroScout
Appearance:Resembles Geo too, with green parts instead of brown and lime parts instead of orange. It has red eyes and wears a different helmet, which is a green and lime helmet that resembles the ones worn by air forces. The shades or whatever you call it are tinted red. Instead of inventory pack, Aero carries a jetpack. It has an anti-gravity system at the back of the head and a '03' on its right forearm.

Personality:It is also obedient as well. Aero is 'fierce' because in a battle, when the enemy hits hard, AeroScout will try to counter harder. Despite its fighting spirit, Aero feels guilt seeing friendly fire due to its little accident.
Backstory:Third ScoutBot model made for air travel. One day, when out on a battle, AeroScout once accidentally blew up GeoScout with a heat seeking missile, which detected Geo's flamethrower. Aero also seems like the ScoutBot with most utilities made for combat. It also has an AI that increases its fighting capabilities when hit hard.
Weapon/Other Abilities:Like the other ScoutBots, AeroScout uses the same type of durable alien metal. The jetpack and anti gravity system help in Aero's amazing flight abilities.
Heat-Seeking Missiles:Considered as AeroScout's main wep, it seeks out the warmest objects, making it a threat for anything that uses high heat. The missiles come from the palms and do not need to reload though it needs to cool down after 99 shots; medium rate of fire.
Wind Cannon:Fires a strong force that can send a 10 tonne weight flying 120 miles/hour(but it can still send anything heavier flying that fast, 10T isn't the max weight it can blast and Bot Commander's base is immune to the force). Despite that, Aero can control what it hits. This can also be used to cancel out tornadoes, clear storms and create mini tornadoes. The catch is that the weapon gives a great recoil and Aero will temporarily stagger to any hits it takes instantly, but damage doesn't increase. When the Wind Cannon is equipped, Aero's forearm guards unfold into five plates per arm, then they cover the hands and slide back to the arms to make arm cannons. The process is reversed after use and the other side of the forearm plates also have 03 on them.
Bomb Rain:Circles the enmy and drops explosives, this can really bombard helpless enemies. It takes a fair amount of time to recharge.
Machine Gun Fingers:When Aero does an imaginary gun on its left hand, the fingers can fire rapid rounds of bullets. However, they do the second least damage of all the weapons, only to Wind Cannon, which is just a blast of force.
Skycutter:A pair of wings that are normally stored in the belt if inactive. When used, the wings go to the back and open up to reveal a 10 ft. long wingspan. With this on, Aero can travel through the skies at supersonic speed in times of need.
Makes combos with Geo and Marine too.
Destructive Twister:AeroScout's signature combo. Geo will grab the target with the Grappling Hook and throw it to Marine who uses the Taser before forcefully passing the target over to Aero who uses the Wind Cannon to create a small immobile tornado to trap the enemy. Marine and Geo will attack the target twice with their signature weapons and as the tornado fades away, Aero throws the enemy with an uppercut and uses Machine Gun Fingers and Heat-Seeking Missiles.
Dive Bomb Crush:Geo and Marine both team up and grab Aero by the arms. The trio then fly up, and forcefully dive down at the target. The impact is strong enough to break even diamond. Fortunately, the ScoutBots' metal is stronger than that. This can be deadly if the Skycutter is in action.

Other:Serial number 03. Unable to speak too. A.K.A. Aero. Panics after Commander's demise too. Aero's current goal is to investigate the air for oddities as well. Since it has more weapons than the other ScoutBots, Aero has a side goal to eliminate threats to its owner.

Edit:140% more legit!

[Hallan Parva]

I imagine these robo-scout guys being derpy and circular like the Nagagogs in Subspace Emissary


there's three of them so they could even have the yellow / blue / red thing going for them

[Gumballtoid]

The fact that I didn't know this existed last year is beyond me. May as well take the opportunity proffered.

Name: Gumballtoid
Appearance: Nobody has actually seen his face, as it is masked by his hood. He can be described as quite lanky. He wears sturdy cloth "armor," with a cape/hood garment.
Personality: Headstrong, tends to not think his maneuvers through. Somewhat of a klutz. Hosts a slight disdain towards technology.
Backstory: His origins are unknown. He makes his living pillaging passerby in heavily wooded areas. Never stays in one place for too long, for fear of being found.
Weapon/Other Abilities: A skilled thief, he is agile and stealthy. He carries a dagger, and infrequently wields a bow. He is thrifty and can create arrows using his dagger and any materials he may come across. Carries a small vial of poison, which he can use to poison his arrows if the need arises. Also carries a smooth stone to sharpen his dagger, should it dull.
Other: Skilled in one-on-one combat and stealth attacks, but is easy to overpower when confronted by a group. He is also physically weak, meaning a good hit can put him out cold. He insults his victims with his trademark evil laugh. Likely a minor character.

[DarkAura]

Do you really think they would retain the memory of me for so long?
Nonsense! Several people should remember ya...I think...
Well, I'm fairly certain that I'm not the only being in existance with a strong, social memory.

Name: Lament (Lithium Alloy Mechanized ENTitiy)
Apprearance: A robot modeled after Dr. Wily's second Dark Man model with purple LED eyes, a silver crescent adorned on his back instead of a skull, and an orb of concentrated moonlight replacing the heart in the glass head dome.
Personality: Works alone most of the time, but will assist anyone in need if they call out to him. At every passing midnight, he would force himself to forget all the memories of every person he meets except for the people he was programmed to remember. He is unable to do so if in the midst of a battle as a fail-safe. This is so Lament doesn't develop "feelings" for others so that he doesn't get affected by emotions, which he wasn't programmed to show.
Backstory: Lament was created by Professor Wolfchild as a second, temporary, avatar for the world of CutStuff when Aura suffered major head trauma during a fight that greatly spiked his emotional sensitivity. The community showed a bit more praise towards Lament by acting like a completely different person than Aura. However, once Aura was completely healed and eager to get back into the community, Lament was forced to reveal his identity as a temporay replacement for Aura and returned to reality. He wasn't mentoned much since Aura's return, but now Lament wants to keep the memory of the community alive by any means possible...by turning against his creator's "memory-erasing" order.
Weapons: Lament specializes in elemental materializations, turning the elements around him (even elements from his enemies' attacks) into the weapons he needs to fit any battle:
Anima Buster: A buster that fires concentrated shots of pure energy. Can be altered in type depending on Lament's current dominating attribute.
Brimstone Cudgel: A mace made of molten lava with an obsidian handle.
Fire Special - Infernal Tower: By slamming the mace's handle into the ground, a tower of fire is erected from the earth that spews fireballs in nearly all directions.
Shiver Shivs: Daggers made of ice that is cooled to roughly -25 degrees. Can be thrown as a ranged attack.
Ice Special - Shrapnel Blizzard: Lament crushes all the Shiver Shivs into a sharp dust and pulses them foward in a large, misty stream of cold shrapnel.
Hallow Gungnir: A white spear made of the hottest lightning bolts.
Electric Special - Indignation: A large explosion of electricity created by throwing the Hallow Gungnir into the ground.
Terra Greenblade: A sword with a blade as thin as a blade of grass and the indestructability of an ingot of pure Orichalcum.
Earth Special - Oaken Caltrops: Returning the sword to it's loamy origin by sheathing it in the earth creates a wave of tree-sized pikes that burst from the ground.
Artemis Bow - A silver bow paired with a quiver of light-emitting arrows.
Light Special - Holy Rays:  Lament launches all the arrows into the air at once. The arrows then transform into powerful beams of light when they fall to the ground.
Blackheart Scythe: Lament's signature weapon. A scythe made of the specific darkness that looms in people's hearts. Since he does not store darkness within himself and since CutStuff's night sky doesn't contain concentrated darkness, Lament cannot materialize the Blackheart Scythe unless it's from an enemy attack.
Darkness Special - Annihilation: Lament creates a massive shockwave of darkness designed to split any un-armored being in half.
Other: I can't really think of an "other" topic. I think I lazilly described everything that's needed for this :l

[Bacon]

Name: Cutmut
Appearance: My cutmut sprite
Personality: He is a robots best friend, but may appear cocky. Everyone hates him so he lives in exile, but occasionally shows up to see if anyone remembers him.
Backstory:
Weapon/Other Abilities: A rusty rolling cutter, his true powers are yet to be undiscovered. he is a very unskilled and inaccurate fighter, but when he lands a hit, you know you'll be in for a whallop.
Other: inb4 declined or killed off early

[Galactan]

(click to show/hide)

Name: Xerenn
Appearance: Constantly walks around in a giant blue suit of armor that seems to radiate with light occasionally.  Nobody can see his face.
Personality: Prefers silence, both from himself and from those around him.  When he does speak, it's usually in a neutral tone, as if to say "do whatever the hell you want, I'm just going to watch you fail."  He hates seafood eaters.  Fights on the side of justice.
Backstory: As a child, Xerenn would often go missing for days at a time, only to turn up in his bed with a few new fish in his aquarium.  He always took very good care of his fish.  One day, Xerenn walked out into the ocean and wasn't seen for many years.  When he returned, he was wearing a hulking suit of armor, which he refused to take off.  His parents panicked and sent him away from their house.  He traveled the world, occasionally stopping at different towns to help them with anything that he could help with.
Weapon/Other Abilities: Can generate and control water using his armor.  Unfortunately, it cannot be used for offensive purposes by himself.  He can, however, create an ice sword or other weapon and give it to someone else.  He can also hinder his opponent's movement by affecting the terrain around them with water.

Name: Sendrel
Appearance: Tall and lean, Sendrel is actually 95% robotic.  The only organic part of him is his brain, which has several electronic implants in it that aid with his calculations during combat.  Robotic parts of him are mostly transparent.  Only the muscles are actually visible.
Personality: Sendrel is blunt about everything he talks about.  He enjoys knocking down doors, and will occasionally stop whatever he's doing just to find one.  He talks a lot.  He fights for his own betterment most of the time, but if The Lightning Plant is in danger, he will always choose to protect it.
Backstory: Sendrel was born from the greatest minds in Aeropolis all working towards the common goal of creating the ultimate defender.  They succeeded... but he wasn't the best defender for Aeropolis.  His sound powers broke every window within a mile radius almost daily, and he was eventually assigned to protect the Lightning Plant.  There, he flourished in the constant thunderstorm, honing his abilities by studying the thunder.
Weapon/Other Abilities: Carries a "Sonic Staff," which he uses to control sound vibrations around him.  All of his abilities can be rebounded off of terrain.
Silence: Sucks all noise in the area into his staff, supercharging his next attack.
Sonic Cannon: Fires a wave of sound from his staff, which physically affects his target.
Shepard's hell: Emits descending Shepard tones from his staff, unsettling his opponents.  Generally only used while he is unseen.
Distorted melody: Hits his opponent with a supersonic blast focused on the ears, which may cause them to experience extreme vertigo and ear bleeding.
Sonic filter: Vibrates the molecules in his own body to the point that he can pass through things.
He is also extremely skilled in staff martial arts.  He uses sound to increase the impact of his blows.
Other: He feels no pain except during blows to the head.

[Solar Equinox]

Because of the last few points does that mean that the characters who on the "not going to be in this" list are still going to be left out of the story?

[Dr. Freeman]

Most likely they will, I just don't have ideas for them, but things can change.
