Title: Current events in RP
Scarab Dynasty - August 10, 2005 12:36 PM (GMT)
People are welcome to place here all the current events that their character has experienced and wil lexperience in RP. it can also be a convenient little place to put down ideas for plotlines and the like.
Think I'll start off:
Mark:
As far as I can remember
Has been electrocuted by Random through the computer screen that time he got into the net – this has little effect on present events asides from the fact that Random is still stressing over it now and again.
Has had a hole blown in his roof by Sparx and Fear crashing through it at high speed. He didn’t find out WHO made the hole until much later…
As a result of this hole, Mark’s dad tried to fix a sky lift and ended up falling off the roof resulting in a broken leg. Mark was extremely angry about this and most of the anger was taken out on Staffhead. As a result of this, Staffhead ended up paying his household a visit.
Was given an extreme defensive superpower boost for approximately two hours after something weird happened to the amulet. No matter what attacks the bad guys there at him they bounced straight off, though his attacking power wasn’t changed. This resulted in him getting a very reckless streak and dicing with death in the carnival for a while, with Googler bouncing off the amulet-created shield. (The cause of the amulet malfunctioning has never been discovered – was originally believed to be Sparx who happened to be messing about in the program files at Chuck’s at the time. But it seems that it wasn’t her after all.)
Has just leant the central piece of the amulet to Sparx for her to give to Rick so that he can save the sixth dimension (and her family and friends) which is slowly falling apart.
Wow… I do more than I think I do.

Chuck:
Has recently given the entire CGI cast a RAM upgrade to restore damaged memory files. This resulted in them (and him) getting to see some rather harrowing “fake or programmed” memories of their past. This did not have a great effect on everyone.
Has also performed a clever bit of techno wizardry (especially considering my inability to do decent techno-talk :P) and with some help from the amulet pieces has free Lady Illusion from the sixth dimension.
Located a bug of some kin which the Master programmer attempted to implant in Random. It’s believed removed but there’s actually a back up copy of it still in Random’s head.. .what it’s gonna do is anyone’s guess.
Is currently housing Sparx, who I think has just moved out and gone to the carnival.
Caught a cold of his mother :P
Is currently offering program checks in an attempt to get Li to soften and have one herself following those “hallucinations” she thinks she’s been having.

Oh crikey! Looks like Mark and Chuck are up to their necks in madness. I can't imagine what the others are up too! Do you think I could use any of these ideas in my Season 3 fic?
Scarab Dynasty - August 10, 2005 10:27 PM (GMT)
Well I'm fine with that Rotgut :) you'll have to check with the other girls concerning their character RP's though.

Okay, what has Random been up to... (tell me if I miss anything <_< )
Found a cat in the junkyard that took a fancy to him. Ended up calling it 'Sprocket.'
Was trying to hack into Chuck's computer for kicks. Chuck sent him some pic of kitty cats or something and it knocked out Random's internet connection (crappy junkyard computer here, it didn't like downloads) causing him to get his mind trapped on the internet. He spent about a day running around the information superhighway like a kid in a candy store :lol: . Then went evil and electrocuted Mark over his computer. Ace got mad at him and convinced him to come back out.
He then got annoyed at everyone for fighting over LJ and confusing him, and dissapeared for two weeks. (I was in New Zealand :P )
Sparx then decided to test a theory that involved kissing Random. Random didn't seem to enjoy it.
Tried to get the Master Programmer to fix him/give him some upgrades that would give him more control. Chickened out half-way through because he suspected Rick was messing around and putting something in his head he shouldn't be. Chuck removed whatever Rick put in, but there's the very strong possibility he only got out a copy or a decoy.
Random whacked Sprocket, so Mark had to come and take it to the vet. Angst insued. :blink:
Got the cat back... after it used Mark as a scratching post...
I think that's it...
Sarah Frost - August 11, 2005 12:06 AM (GMT)
Okay, my turn.
Kilobyte. He returned from the Sixth Dimension, with Rick and (originally played by Anna) my OC Kellamy, as a minion. Rick escaped from him, though Kilobyte no longer needs his assistance as while in the Sixth Dimension he was able to download various useful programming information from Rick. He's made a lot of threatening noises, and tried to attack Mark, Rick, and LI as Chuck brought her back, but without notable success thus far. At the moment he seems to have largely disappeared from the radar, and he's probably plotting somewhere.
Rick. Escaped from Kilobyte, and demands the protection of the others despite his less-than-endearing personality. He's offered to use his programming skill on several occasions, but he attempted to implant a control device into Random while adjusting his personality, and his offer to bring LI back was also turned down as Ace and Mark feared a trap. He has also upgraded Lord Fear, once with a power boost and once with something called the 'smoke' upgrade, which enables him to transform into smoke and disappear through walls. The second one is not general public knowledge. He and Lord Fear have decided to form an alliance to destroy Kilobyte, Ace, and LI, and take over the world, and there are a lot of locked conversations between them. He has also offered to implant an extra command into Sparx' program to change her loyalties on the excuse of upgrading her, but so far Fear hasn't taken him up on the offer.
Kellamy. The personal creation of a member of the programming team, his origins can be probably traced to an avatar from a roleplaying game, though his programmed past casts him as distantly related to Lady Illusion and one of the 'lords and ladies', the elves. His weapon of choice is a sword; unlike Sparx', it lacks any special powers, though as a sharp pointy object it's capable of doing damage. He is also a teleporter, which is probably his greatest talent. In terms of power levels he's slightly below Sparx. He's idealistic and rather immature, and broadly agrees with Kilobyte's goals, though he values loyalty and possile glory-in-combat more than ideology. He's also talkative and self-inflated, though he's intelligent enough to attempt to be amusing. Oh, yeah, and he has nice hair. So far he's joined up with Kilobyte, accidentally revealed Kilobyte's location after a conversation with Mark, agreed to meet Sparx for the purpose of dueling, and attempted to flirt with the latter, more on the basis of 'female, and there' than on any deep emotion, and really is not having much luck.
Lady Illusion. She returned from the devastated Sixth Dimension thanks to Mark and Chuck, and she's been staying with Ace and trying to get a job as Felicity Fury. Recently she's been seeing Lord Fear appearing and disappearing at odd moments. She's worried about this, but doesn't think a program error is worth admitting weakness and having Chuck go through her program again. The memories were probably bad enough, and she resents the situation the program left her in.

Ooooh! But what about Staff Head. And who is LJ?
Sarah Frost - August 11, 2005 10:53 AM (GMT)
LJ stands for Live Journal, and Staffhead (played by Hyperpsychomanic) has mostly been annoying Mark and getting jealous of Sparx' relationship with Lord Fear.
Rotgut - August 11, 2005 11:00 AM (GMT)
hyperpsychomaniac - August 11, 2005 11:29 AM (GMT)
Yes, I must get back to doing Staffhead, he's been quiet for a bit... ^_^
Rotgut - August 11, 2005 11:32 AM (GMT)
Probably quiet because of Fear and Sparx's relationship. Imagine if you put the undead pet for Fear in it!
Scarab Dynasty - August 11, 2005 11:53 AM (GMT)
Staffhead does enjoy tormenting Mark :PI think he's made a hobby out of it.
And yeah - I say he's kinda jealous but who knows? ;)
Rotgut - August 11, 2005 11:54 AM (GMT)
Scarab Dynasty - August 11, 2005 12:30 PM (GMT)
Not crazy. Clinically insane. Have you READ his
journal?
Rotgut - August 11, 2005 01:07 PM (GMT)
Yp, you're right, he is. And he's obsessed with Lord Fear. He might be gay!? :o
Scarab Dynasty - August 11, 2005 01:15 PM (GMT)
Well it IS a pairing possibility ;) he is totally devoted to his master.
Sarah Frost - August 11, 2005 07:39 PM (GMT)
Oh, I'm sure he would be, in an all-human AU or similar, but one doubts that canon!Staffhead has the necessary hormones...
Scarab Dynasty - August 11, 2005 09:57 PM (GMT)
Oh details details :P enough with the canon already.
Who knows, maybe staffhead's an enchanted staff who was originally a walking talking person, male of female?
Sarah Frost - August 11, 2005 11:20 PM (GMT)
See also: Toad Prince. :P
I go with "demon-from-the-Netherworld" myself, but it's possible. I'd go with 'male', though.
Scarab Dynasty - August 12, 2005 11:20 AM (GMT)
Yeah I was thinking along demon lines. I dobut very much he was always attached to the end of a cane.
Sarah Frost - August 12, 2005 08:20 PM (GMT)
No, and it's interesting he seems to be 'moving away from it' as of second series. I had a backstory where he was Fear's power source: by some rather strange methodology sorcerer!Fear bonded a Netherworld demon (actually a lower-level imp) to himself, gaining vast levels of power from that realm, and Staffhead gets to remain in a more pleasant place than the Netherworld while Fear gets power.
Scarab Dynasty - August 12, 2005 08:44 PM (GMT)
Sounds cool... Nice story idea :) I think Staffhead's 'moving away from stick' is pretty much just a result of better graphics. I assume they got a higher budget for the enxt series (here's hoping someone offers them a lot of money to make another.)
There's a general assuption that sorcerers and the like were bonded to "familiars" - demons in the form of animals who were sent to them by the devil- that's possible for Staffhead I think.
FeArdantane - August 18, 2005 09:42 AM (GMT)
Ahh, the totem of terror. There is
something going on there, isn't there? :P
I thought I would pop by and give you a little update on LF and my dumb blond (otherwise known as Ace).
Lord Fear - - Currently plotting to take over the world (again) with Rick, which so far has got him a power upgrade, and a smoke upgrade which Sarah has already mentioned. This has meant of late he has been rather placid and reasonable compared to his former self, in the hopes of convincing certain people that Ace, Lady Illusion and possibly Mark and Random's fears about him are entirely unfounded.
- Of course, they're not as he has been using his newest (unknown) upgrade to torment Lady Illusion to a point that she is starting to believe she has gone out of her mind.
- Also currently 'in love' with Sparx, and sharing the Haunted House with her. He is using a combination of psychology and underhand tactics in order to turn her against Ace and her old way of life. He hopes to somehow convince her that them ruling the world would be an improvement on mortal government (which, no doubt, it would in some cases).
Ace Lightning -- Currently residing at the Thunder Tower with Lady Illusion. Still in love, still hopeful that someday they'll be able to get a little house in the 'burbs and live happily ever after.
- Has fallen out with Sparx thanks to her relationship with LF. Yes, he is being a bit of a jerk, but he is also entirely correct in all his assumptions. (Or is he?)
- Spends most of his time at the Thunder Tower and other locations with Lady Illusion attempting to stop her 'hallucinations' as Kilobyte is nowhere to be seen.
- Has next to no idea about Fear's alliance with Rick, though has a feeling (in his water :P)
