the chinese zodiac. most people believe it is just a way to explain there personalities. but the zodiac has much deeper meaning then that. for 10 thousand years the twelve animals, know as devas, have watched over to world. lead by the dragon, rat, and monkey, these devas have protected the world from the evils of the cat, who originaly tried to be a deva. but due to a trick used by the rat, the cat finished too late. the cat swore vengeces, and has been trying to concure the world using the mystic cats eye. while before he tried to destroy them, five days ago the cat realized the way to take the world was not to destroy the devas, but to trap them. and trap them he did. the twelve devas were trapped in a mystic seal the locked them in a stone tablet along the great wall of china. wtihout the devas, the world will soon fall into chaos, and with no one to stop him, the cat will soon take over the world. now, twelve humans have found the stone and have realesed the twelve devas. however, they are not strong enough to take a physical form. instead they each choose a human to be they spirit partner. an so our story begins...

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

OOC: um, i like this story plot...for the character, can we make it up?
 
Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

So do people get abilities based on their sign?
 
Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

this story is completly made up, so you can make up a character or pick one from somewere else. but no pokemon digimon or anything like that. and they actualy get abilitys based n the deva that choose them to be there spirit partner. and if the spirit partner has a severe injury that can't heal by normal means, its replaced by that deva. so if you had the phoenix ( in some versions the rooster is replaced by the phoenix) and you lost an arm, it would be replaced as an arm that can fire flameing feathers.*


* thats just an example. it's really up to you what the ability is. the only rule i have for this is it has to be something that could pass as a regular apendage.
 
Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

Name: Eliot Nadel

Powers stem from: Cat

Power: He has two of his father's powers: He's guaranteed to win any game he plays, from Monopoly to baseball to Halo to dice. Also, if a wager has been made, his opponent must give him it, even if it's not something one can normally give, like a year of their lifespan, or their skill in hand-to-hand combat. He has in fact used this function, and become quite proficient in the martial arts. If it's a tie, they must play either the same game or a different one.

Age: Is physically and mentally 15, but is chronologically 122.

Gender: Male

Appearance: An albino, he has long white hair, round, thick glasses, red eyes, and very pale skin. He wears a tuxedo vest, white button-up shirt, black slacks, and shiny black dress shoes. Due to his ancestry, he also has kitty ears. They make him look ridiculous.

Personality: He's kind of a jerk, and his decisions are mostly based on whatever he feels is most fun.

History: He was the cat's champion and bastard son, spending most of his days playing video games and eating catnip with dad. He was given the powers of a master gambler, destined to fight the others...but then decided it'd be more fun to help in the fight against his dad. Now, having met Kakashi, he spends his life fighting with the other zodiac guys against his father.

Extra: Carries a pair of golden dice. He takes comfort in the fact that they always roll the exact number he wants, and thus rolls them in times of stress. Also, since he's technically not a Deva, has no spirit partner, and all his powers are natural, he doesn't grow cat parts if the human bits are removed.

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

Uh, dude, the Devas aren't gods. You're thinking that from Pein's Deva Path. They're more like primal creatures.

Also, albinos don't have any pigmintation in their hair or skin.

*Name: Koma Takashi AKA Night Wolf

*Age: 17

*Gender: Male

*Power comes from: Dog

*Powers: Enhanced speed & strength and superhuman agility; senses on par with dog senses; retractable claws and pads on hands and feet

*Appearance (as Koma): Brown, unruly hair; fierce blue eyes; denim jeans; white shirt with 2 black bands on top and 3 black bands on the bottom reaching a gray sphere; black digital watch with analog backup clock; orange visor with silver lenses; sharp canine teeth; slightly pointy ears.

*Appearance (As Night Wolf): Biker helmet modified to resemble a wolf head; black two tailed long coat with a silver interior and wrist cuffs, with the Japanese kanji for "wolf" in silver cloth on the back and metal platings on the shoulders and sleeves; black leather shirt mixed with bulletproof material; black pants with a silver stripe on the outside made from the same material as his shirt; combat boots modified to contain deployable "nails"; wears gloves with metal knuckle braces and nails on tips of fingers; a iron belt buckle in the shape of a snarling wolf head.

*Personality: A loner, Koma defines the black wolf: a outcast of a normally social species. Dispite this, he's very loyal to his allies and will fight to the death to protect them. He also cynical, sarcastic, and flippant yet unflappable.

*History: Koma thought he was just another punk-to-be in a neighborhood filled to the brim with them, as he dislikes large crowds, ditched classes from time to time. However, a car accident that almost claimed his life instead changed his.

Waking up to find that his hands, face, feet, and ears bandaged and his teeth broken, he thought he was going to go through a painful recovery. Only that very night, his teeth healed and reconstructed, his ears slightly changed and hearing improved, his nose fixed and smell improved, his fingernails and toenails replaced, pads grew out of his burnt hands, fingers, soles, and toes. He escaped and discovered his newfound powers later on after he smashed his window with a table and managed to grab a tree branch in a three-story drop, and managed to get down onto the ground Olympic style in spite that he had no background training in gymnastics at all.

They filed him under Missing Persons and has been "missing" for two straight years. During so, he became a classic vigilante named "Night Wolf", a name he invented because of his canine-like abilities and he can go out at night so he won't be seen by onlookers looking for him. He never had a problem he couldn't handle, until he met Kakashi. Scoffing him off to be a Naruto fanatic, he was surprised that his powers come from the 12 animals of the Chinese Zodiac (though he was laughing mentally at the poor bastard who ever got the Rooster). And through Kakashi, he met fellow Zodiac members, so Koma decided to give the inprov team a name: The Zodiac Alliance, after hearing a classmate once making a comic book with a villian group bearing the same name. Only difference is, his version was using the 12 constellations, not the Chinese Zodiac.

*Other: Night Wolf carries a broadsword he named Thunderstrike, a round shield called Helios, and a whip with a daggered tip called Cold Front as his tools of trade. He also has a loose rosary bead necklace underneath his shirt, with each bead bearing a different religious symbol of various faiths around the world. He is also multilingual, and dabbled the most in Spanish, Japanese and English.

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

actually they are more of gods in this. and the devas are spirit partners. the are in no way related to the characters. they don't even have to have the same zodiac symbol. kakashi's zodiac symbol is actually the dog.

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

wait...can we have, lets say, two characters? or is it only one per person?
 
Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

Oh, my god.... SAY THAT BEFORE, NEXT TIME!! And another thing. His name is spelt K.A.K.A.S.H.I.
 
Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

wasn't the backstory enough? as for the characters, you can have a maximum of two. i have this set up on another forum and one person took half the devas just so we could start.
 
Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

Details like that need to be told to us so we don't come off as idiots. Also, another forum?

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

Re: zodiac: legend of the 12 beasts

*Name: Marianna Najera AKA Black Mamba

*Age: 17

*Gender: Female

*Power comes from: Snake

*Powers: Can streatch and flex limbs, torso and neck to incredible lengths; pits along lips allows heat vision; can grow fangs and can deliver venom from fangs with the venom varying in strength; forked tongue can taste the air much like a snake can; can emit a hiss if angered.

*Appearance (as Marianna): Denim jeans; classic karate shoes with socks; blue blouse with white edges on sleeve to resemble waves and a white sphere on middle of shirt that have three waves reaching from below and two waves reaching from the top; arm sleeves that are green with purple rhombus borders; a red and black scarf regardless of weather; tan skin; slitted blue eyes; natural blonde hair; 5'6"

*Appearance (As Black Mamba): Black full body combat suit; black-spray painted striped armor platings on lower leg and forearms; black kevlar-reinforced armoring cloth within shirt and pants; gray shin guards with a poised snake each; gray three tailed long coat with a black stencil of a snake poised to strike; metal plating on sleeves and shoulders of coat; black leather gloves; mask that resembles a snake head from aerial view.

*Personality: Reserved and quiet, Marianna likes to keep to herself. She's short tempered and will resort to violence once provoked enough. She is practical minded, so if something sound ridiculous enough, like a half-baked plan, she'll ignore it and try to come up with a logical plan. She is also a sadist, and loves to see someone suffer up to a point.

*History: Marianna was different when she was a child. She grew up snappy and moody, interfering with her social skills and life. Thankfully, she didn't grew up spoiled, just bitter. She never bullied anyone, but she gave bullies the feminine rage and fists that made little boys fled to their mother's side. The years passed and she mellowed out a little, though her temper was still blazing. She heard of a kid that went missing in a hospital but paid no heed to it. She should have, as she became the subject of a car crash.

Compared to Koma, she had it worse: moderate lacerations when the glass winder she was sitting next to her showered her with glass fragments, and broken bones from having a truck slam into the side of the car. As she laid on the bed, she felt miserable, as her mother died in the crash. Like Koma, that night, her wounds regenerated and renew itself. Getting up, she felt something go through her, like something slithering through her body. She made the mistake of flinching and moving when one such feeling went down her spine, making her move her hand, and it stretch and hit a cabinet shut a solid foot away from her position. Feared that she'll be picked on by her peers because of her newfound powers, she left the hospital and left, and didn't look back.

Two years later, she went into hiding. Along the way, she ran into the Night Wolf and the two became friends. He eventually revealed his identity and watch her become the Black Mamba. Together, the two handled threats left and right whereever they go. That was, until they met Kakashi. Putting him off to be a Naruto fanatic like Koma said, she eventually learned the truth from where her powers stem from. When Koma came up with the name of the inprov gang, she seconded the name.

*Other: As Black Mamba, she carries a set of short swords to render foes into pieces.
