[Total Conversion] Under Siege

[tsukiyomaru0]

Tsuki, how do you intend for Eigil to be pronounced?

E-jool, Eh-gill, Ai-jel, or Ai-gill? Or something completely different?

More like Ee-Gill. Looked up some old norse phonetics and the "E" is pronounced in the same way as fEEt, pEA...

[Rozark]

Fixed a few things, such as making the previous ultimate an actual skill. This removes the ultimate, however, I believe that adding the "If first maxed" gimmick is similar to an ultimate as it would apply powers similar to such. So yes, all three abilities are available from the start. I also somehow forgot to add the autoattack upgrade in the previous version, so I added that under the upgrades as well.

I didn't actually count the levelups, but do note that the autoattack upgrade is a one time use. The remaining three skills are to be leveled normally. Hopefully this equals/reaches the highest level as intended.

Dr. Clyde von Belmont
(Melee, Magic, Caster, Disabler)
-----------------------------
Appearance:
A fancy gentlemen who wears such things as a Tophat, Monocle over the left eye, and a brown
labcoat.
-----------------------------
Auto Attack: Capital Punishment
Clyde has determined that the best way to get things done is a whip. Not a trusty shotgun or
dog; No, his whip. It is to be noted that this is not a Capital Science product, rather, a family
heirloom passed from who knows where.
-----------------------------
Passive – Capital Science
If you've ever looked at the ingredients label, you would know that we have ingredients listed
on it. However, if you look closer on the fine print, it makes a note of how we have no idea of
what is in our products. As a result, all Capital Science products are to give a random status
effect or disable upon use for a very brief duration.
-----------------------------
Skill 1 – Jack's Grow
Description: All you hair fetishists will be happy to hear that this item has made it into the
metagame as the world's strongest hair growth tool. If you even consider having hair, you
should probably shave it off and replace it with this stuff. It's the best.

Skill Description: If Johnny Appleseed has ever taught us anything, its that populating the world
with your seed is the best thing a man could have ever done. This Capital Science wonder will
be thrown on a target location only to shortly send a spike of hair upwards damaging the foe.
Uses Magic/Ability damage.
-----------------------------
Skill 2 – Chainsaw Rifle
Description: We wanted less killing and more ham sandwich action that many people seem to
don't actually get. We want ham sandwich action. Bring it to us. If instead you bring us turkey
action or ham on turkey action, this may or may not be acceptable to the children.

Skill Description: Thanks to customer feedback and crying over split milk, we have decided to
lower the range on this item for more epic close combat situations. Now your point, click, and
slice experience will be smoother and more fulfilling thanks to less motion controls. Uses
Magic/Ability damage.
 -----------------------------
Skill 3 – Toasty-O's
Description: We want everyone to know how a balanced breakfast is supposed to work. We
also want them to experience the amazing toast pleasure that they enjoyed so much as a child if
they were ever a child. Capital Science aims to bring you the world's first balanced cereal.

Skill Description: Did you know that for every breakfast that isn't eaten some other kid also
doesn't eat their breakfast? Its true. How do we fix this you ask? Lets throw tons of cereal bits
into their mouthes to catch as they enjoy the various tastes that this cereal offers. Uses
Magic/Ability damage.
-----------------------------
UPGRADES LIST:
Volcano Fluid: To be used with Capital Punishment. Rainbows. Just Rainbows. Look at them
all. Double Rainbows? Perhaps, just perhaps. Can you feel the sunshine? More importantly,
can you feel the magic? Can you feel the increasingly painful burn of the rainbow flames that
you're being smacked with now? A first bonus does not apply to the weapon/does not count if it is
maxed first.

It's Yours My Friend: To be used with Jack's Grow. You reach into the bag, and, surprise! You
add one more throw before it goes on cooldown per rank, you know, because instant refills. If
the first skill maxed, Capital Science commends you for your courage and awards you an
increased radius of the hair.

The Ripper: To be used with the Chainsaw Rifle. We almost forgot that we added a chainsaw
to this thing. We then decided that a chainsaw should deal increased ripping damage per rank
using extremely sharp blades that are suitable for children.  If the first skill maxed, Capital
Science commends you for your power and awards you increased range on your slicing
experience.

TOASTY!: To be used with Toasty-O's. Dry cereal is only eaten by toddlers and some small
children. You're a man. I'm a man. That woman is a man. Men eat cereal with milk. We'll
penetrate their magic resist with more milk per rank. If the first skill maxed, Capital Science
commends you for your knowledge and awards you an increased passive effect on this skill because
of the sheer variety of toast types.

[Balrog]

Probably going to catch hell for this, but why hasn't the Skulldro thing been added to the list with the others?

[xColdxFusionx]

I didn't add it because it didn't look quite finished, but I can throw it on the list, I guess.

Also Clyde now gets a link. The Udyr-style "No Traditional Ultimate" is actually pretty cool, though it does leave Clyde with no use for Gold Shards.

Also, we're starting to enter carry overload. Any more carries will be tossed onto the waitlist. And I might push a couple of the ones on the mainlist to the waitlist if we get more ideas for other classes.

There's only like, two carrys.

Also, if we can get something done on my new, yet unfinished champion, that'd be great. Some tweaks and actual names. We can probably call it Guardian Unit.

[Rozark]

3 of the currently accepted 7 characters are carries.
Based on statistics, i'd say that would lead to a large chunk of future characters to be carries.

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

Well, I'm back again.  Tried to stick more to a general theme this time and fudge fewer things.
Here's what I got.

(click to show/hide)

Shalein, Purveyor of Order
(Melee, Physical, Tank, Support)

Appearance
Shalein is a tall, fair man with pale white skin.  His purple hair is tied up out of his deep black eyes.  He wears a strong, ornate gray armor, but nothing more; not even a helmet covers his face.  In his hands, he carries his twin blades, Unity and Harmony.  The Good blade, Harmony, is made of a pure off-white metal that glows a bright blue.  The Evil blade, Unity, is made of a writhing black energy with a reddish suppressing aura surrounding it to keep it in line.
This is a rough idea of what I'm talking about, except ignore his weapon and his wings.
I also have this 8-bit sprite of his head laying around if it's of any help.

Passive – Undying Spirit
Though Shalein's body can still be physically harmed, his spirit cannot be killed—and given how powerful his soul is, this helps him repair himself.  Shalein slowly regenerates health continuously, at a pace that accelarates outside of combat and is reset whenever he takes damage (If all people regenerate health, be sure Shalein does it noticeably faster).

Weapon 1 – Unity and Harmony
Shalein hand-crafted these two swords himself, and uses them as his personal weapons to represent the alliance of Good and Evil within himself.  He alternates swinging with each,  both doing a fairly strong amount of flat damage.  Note that Unity should be slightly stronger against any Light-based enemies; and same goes for Harmony against Darkness-based enemies (If there are any).
Skill:  Crossed Swords
Shalein sharpens his sword edges against each other, charging them with their opposite energies.  He continues to alternate swings, but energy formations now accompany the swinging of the swords.  Swinging Unity now shoots a ray of light, which flies straight forward fairly fast and hits for fairly heavy damage.  Swinging Harmony sends out a shockwave of dark energy, radiating out in a circle from Shalein over a wide area but dealing little damage.  Each swing costs a little mana.  Pressing the altfire again will dissipate the charged energies and return the swords to their normal states; however, Shalein can only keep them like this for a certain amount of time before the energies are forced off and he must wait for them to cool off before charging them again.

Weapon 2 – Gray Magic
When Good and Evil are at peace, as they are within Shalein, a new substance comes into existence in that spot–Gray, the Essence of Creation.  Its usefulness is nearly infinite, and it is believed to be the substance the Old Creator used to build the Multiverse.  Shalein wields this in a way similar to how most others would wield magic–here, he uses Gray to generate an arrow that he then promptly fires.  The arrows are weak compared to Unity and Harmony, but shooting an allied force heals it for the amount it would have damaged a foe or neutral party.
Skill:  Regeneration
One of Gray's most useful applications is as a healing agent.  Using this burns up all of Shalein's mana, in exchange for placing an aura around him that heals himself and all friendly minions inside it at a fair pace.  This lasts a fairly long time before dissipating, but its recharge time is even longer, so it had better be used only in a pinch.

Skill Mods
Chaos Killer – Shalein's vigor for destroying those keeping Good and Evil from uniting increases.  With each upgrade this stat recieves, he can swing Unity and Harmony at quicker rates.
Blending the Colors – By practicing more and more with the slightly unstable results of Light and Darkness, Shalein learns to control them and apply them more efficiently.  The amount of time for which Shalein can use Crossed Swords before being forced into cooldown becomes longer.
Grayed Enchantments – Shalein discovers better, more efficient ways to generate his Gray Arrows.  Upgrading this increases the amount by which shooting an ally with a Gray Arrow heals it.
Gray's Second Coming <Ultimate Mod> – Good and Evil unite within Shalein, and he unlocks his full potential as The Gray, the Spirit of Creation!  This allows Shalein to utilize his Regeneration skill.  Subsequent upgrades will allow him to use Gray energy in other various ways:
> Rank 1: All-Encompassing – Shalein gains the ability to heal ally Champions with Gray Arrow and Regeneration.
> Rank 2: Perfection in Togetherness – Shalein's killing of neutral parties with an attack with Gray in it now results in them joining his side, though with significantly reduced health.
> Rank 3: New World Order – Gray energy now accompanies each and every one of Shalein's sword-swings, making each stroke he makes with the sword do notably more damage.

Also, still looking for a general response on Gated Fortress...didn't hear any "yeahs" or "nopes" tossed around.

[Orange juice :l]

I reskinned everything because CF wanted me to so here you go
Communist Mage was just renamed Archmage Karl so I didn't bother posting him

(click to show/hide)

MAPS:
--------
Shattered World WIT
This once pure landscape has been washed over by two warring elements: The Consecration, and the Blight.

This map has Two Lanes.

UPPER LANE: The Consecration
A land of peace and benevolence, this lane is well-defended against enemies who see it as an easy route into your base. It has Two towers. Neutral Creeps are weak and drop moderate gold.

LOWER LANE: The Blight
A fearful, corrupted area, left unguarded as it was not thought that anyone could survive. The lane is full of aggressive neutral creeps that will most likely kill anyone under level 10, and seriously harass anyone who isn't level 20+. There is only one tower.
This lane is home to the High Necromancer, a large boss that will provide a buff to the team of whoever kills it.

--------
Monolith Ramparts
At the heart of the world itself, the two warring factions now seek omnipotence by laying claim to the enigmatic Monolith.

This map has Three Lanes.

The top and bottom lanes are standard, with two towers each and neutral creeps.

The middle lane CANNOT be used to access the enemy's base (One way door/teleporter), but instead serves as a KotH style capture point. Whoever holds the point procures a strong buff for his team, and allows them to move between top, middle, and bottom lanes through a shortcut circumventing the Monolith.
Baron Nashor, eat your heart out.


CHUMPIONS:
--------
Thrashwerk
(Mixed, Carry, Pusher, Disabler, Physical)

Appearance:
A four-armed behemoth with rotting skin.

Passive:
Red Hat: When you die, you drop a red hat. Anyone who touches this hat will then have the hat appear on their head, and they will drop it if they die. Whoever brings the hat back to their respawn point obtains a small gold bonus.

WEAPON: BONE SAW
One of Thrashwerk's four weapons, the saw-bearing arm flies out in front of him, dealing damage to any enemy that touches the saw. Similar to Rolling Cutter sans ripper, honestly, but the arm can take damage for Thrashwerk- fire carefully!
WEAPON: NOXIOUS GRENADE
Thrashwerk's second limb fires toxic vials that are affected by gravity and afflict a poison effect.
Skill: CRUSH GRIP
Thrashwerk's muscular third arm immobilizes enemies as it crushes the life out of them. Long cooldown.
WEAPON: PLAGUED BOLTS
Thrashwerk's fourth arm bears a crossbow, which fires projectiles unaffected by gravity. Heavy mana usage.

UPGRADES:
Proliferation
Noxious Grenade now fires an extra projectile at a slight angle every [fifth/fourth/third] attack.
Quadridextrous
You can change weapons [66%, 33%, instantly] through Crush Grip's CC duration. Enemies affected by Crush Grip are still invulnerable to outside damage.
Soul of Fright
Hitting an enemy with [10, 8, 6] consecutive bolts with a delay no longer than 10 seconds between shots will fear them for a short time.
Hooked Blades - Ultimate
Bone Saw's teeth become hooked, gripping any enemy it hits along the path of the saw.
LEVEL 1: You release the enemy at the apex of the shot.
LEVEL 2: The enemy will come into contact with you.
LEVEL 3: The saw deposits the enemy slightly behind you and causes them to bleed for a short duration, causing damage proportional to the distance they travel while bleeding.

[Korby]

...I'm going to be really blunt here, but this guy looks like something out of a terrible fanfiction.

I'm sorry[I'm not.], what? You let volitryndagarefiora in and an OBVIOUS joke character like Belmont in, but when something interesting and, most importantly, original, was submitted, you turned it down?
And you asked why I left!

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

...I'm going to be really blunt here, but this guy looks like something out of a terrible fanfiction.
...And these sentences don't help.

Yes, I get it.  In truth, Shalein did originate from my times playing AdventureQuest Worlds (If the profile picture didn't make that horribly obvious)...in which, Chaos, a third independent force separated from Good and Evil, has reared its ugly head on the world and is attempting to throw the world into anarchy.  Good and Evil are in an alliance, no matter how small, in order to defeat this greater foe—and that's where Shalein comes in.  He's always had the "Why can't we just get along" attitude, but in a situation like this, he has a chance to make a point for once.  To counteract Chaos, neither Good nor Evil, he became a man of Order, both Good and Evil—and, well, you know the rest.

In truth, it probably would be better if I put forth one of my completely original characters instead of leaning on some of my favorite inspired ones like a twisted, gnarled crutch, but every time I look at my OC list, I think that they're either too boring, or they wouldn't translate well into this sort of sheet (Either too few powers to fill out the whole list or too many).  Jack, the Reaper of Tears, is boring and lacks originality; Zion Takure, the Last Wielder, has too many powers of the normal variety and not many aspects about him to upgrade; Soire and Jenzi, Gemini Unit Five wouldn't be able to even function without crazy coding; The Dean, Master of Role-Play, is by definition ridiculously overpowered; I could be here all day (And by all day I mean until I run out of characters).
Also, I noticed a lack of medic-type Champions and the only good matches were Heart-Man or Shalein.  Standard-issue Robot Master, or innovative man of legend?  Not a hard choice to me.

I thought I already told you this wasn't a thing.
It's not only because stealing enemy units is broken; it's also because it would be incredibly obnoxious to have to code.

My mistake; I thought that referred to seizing control of enemy Champions in specific.  Scrap that bit.

The issue here is that, while Shalein is original, I can't bring myself to like him. His flavor feels really, really heavy on the "I am a super cool character and you should like me" end of things. If his flavor were tweaked and some of his attacks were spruced up to be a little more interesting, I might consider adding him. But as he is, I can't bring myself to allow him onto the roster.

I do admit, that might have been a little harsh. It was kind of a heavy gut reaction, and I apologize for that.

-snip-

That does explain some of it. RPG's are very heavy on trying to make you uber-powerful, which (unfortunately) often translates to your character becoming too "awesome" to really fit anywhere reasonably.
Here's an idea that might help; try thinking more along the lines of a "low-level" version of him; don't think of him as a "chosen hero", but instead as just some guy who happens to have some minor magic powers and wants to use them to help maintain balance in the world.

S'ok, miscommunications happen.

[Colonel ServBot]

erm... i have a question....
are we also doing characters from other games? or just community based characters. either way, i have great Character ideas. one from a Video game, another, is a character i created playing through Dragon Age....
just curious. sorry if i'm being an annoyance.

[xColdxFusionx]

Characters directly taken from another video game are right out.
The Dragon Age character might be worth a shot, though. Just remember the tip I gave C_F regarding RPG character conversions.

[Rozark]

Less joke and more innovative.
If he appears as a joke, that wasn't intended, its just his personality.
Also, just because he has the last name Belmont doesn't mean he's related to those vampire hunters.
That whip segment could be relatable, but hey, I like chain whips. He usually uses a cane with that whip being prized/mounted in his mansion. However, after -insert plotline here that i'm not revealing- occurred, he had to defend himself somehow.
