[SP] IC Report on the Core...
Mar. 12th, 2012 10:35 pmTHE CORE
CORE LOCATED BELOW THE BASEBALL DIAMOND AND PROTECTED BY VOIDS AT ALL TIMES. ACCESS TO CORE PROPER HAS BEEN PROHIBITED. CORE PRODUCES INTENSE RADIATION. HAZMAT SUITS REQUIRED WHEN BELOW THE DIAMOND. THE ONLY THING THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO SEE IS A CLOCK THAT READS THE CURRENT DATE AND TIME. UNKNOWN WHAT THIS CLOCK'S PURPOSE IS- HOWEVER, IT APPEARS TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE ENTIRE ISLAND; WHEN RESET BY A NEWCOMER ACCIDENTALLY, IT CAUSED A LOOP IN TIME-SPACE. MAKES SENSE- IF THE CORE IS REACHING OUT OVER VARIOUS SPACES AND TIMES, THEN CLEARLY AN OVERLOAD OF THE SYSTEM COULD BACKFIRE ON THE ISLAND.
RESPONDS TO MANMADE STIMULI (SEE: TIME LOOP CAUSED BY NEWCOMER- SOME SORT OF LIVING COMPUTER VIRUS??). CORE IS LIKELY A NATURAL STRUCTURE. CORE MOST ACTIVE EVERY OTHER MONTH- REPORTS SAY IT HAS DECREASED ACTIVITY SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR, YET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARRIVE EVERY FLUX.
NEWCOMERS CAN RETURN TO THE ISLAND EVEN AFTER DEATH- THE PULL CALLS THEM BACK TO THEIR WORLDS WITH NO LOST TIME AND THEN DROPS THEM BACK AT THE BASEBALL DIAMOND AFTER A TIME- AN AFFECT OF THE CORE ON THOSE WITH TRACES OF RADIATION ON THEM? THIS DOES NOT AFFECT PEOPLE NATIVE TO THE ISLAND.
THE DARKNESS
Unknown if connected to the Core. No concrete facts, only theories. Is heralded by the Sirens every night, but reports have said that it has occurred in the daytime and the sirens have malfunctioned. Could be connected to the lighthouse. Are the Core and the Darkness related or merely existing in the same space?
The Darkness does not attack those with traces of Core radiation more than natives.
Darkness is characterized by a foul smell, a feel of rot and decay, and monsters of various types. It is generally to be avoided at all costs.
sirenspull Washu's Lab
Oct. 11th, 2011 11:58 amAs stated, the lab's front door is Szayel's closet- the only people who can safely enter and exit through that door are the residents or anyone who happens to be immune to the effects of the spiritual energy. There's also a "back door" located inside a closet in Washu's office at SPU, which allows people to enter the lab at Washu's bequest without being harmed- however, due to the pressure, there's concern of humans getting sick from spending too much time inside it. These two doorways between her lab allow her to commute between work and Los Noches freely.
The lab is much smaller than she's accustomed to- roughly the size of a small house- and contains only what Washu's managed to build and find for herself, which isn't much. Washu can't just manifest materials out of nowhere, but she can change the scenery of the lab. Occasionally, it'll look like a relaxing lounge with reflecting pools and plant life and other times it'll look like the cold metal structure you'd associate with labs.

Character Information
General
Canon Source: Tenchi Muyo Ryo-Ohki OAV
Canon Format: Anime
Character's Name: Washu Hakubi
Character's Age: 20,000 in this form, although physically twelve by choice. She's also actually billions of years old, being one of the supreme deities of the universe, but... That's not something she broadcasts.
Conditional: If your character is 13 years of age or under, please clarify how they will be played.
What form will your character's NV take? Her holographic laptop, seen here. It can be summoned with just a thought and can do pretty much... Anything technical within the realm of anime science (so pretty much anything), but if she encounters a Null or a Void, the computer's functions will be limited to just video/text/voice messaging like any NV.
Abilities
Character's Canon Abilities: Not counting the general powers of a goddess, which Washu doesn't possess when not in contact with her gems, Washu is... Well, she's kind of a godmod even without the whole goddess reveal.
She has some telepathic abilities- at first believed to only be a telepathic bond shared with her "daughter" Ryoko, but it's revealed in the third part of the OAV that she can read minds, as she was capable of reading Nobuyuki's mind long enough to tell him to "stop internal monologuing." This is the only time she displays this particular power with anyone other than Ryoko, however, which may be because reading minds is "too easy." Or maybe because it was a gag. Who knows?
She's also a genius, capable of creating extremely complex technology, having made Ryoko, her ship Ryo-Ohki, and Kagato's supremely advanced ship, the Souja. Given the right materials, some time, and a little bit of power, she can create anything she pleases, but since she's cut off from the dimensions and universes she's accustomed to, she'll have to resort to building shit the old-fashioned way and nothing overly complex or world-destroying. Really.
It's revealed in the third part of the OAV that she's a skilled melee fighter, due to the fact that the Royal Space Academy used a special form of it to settle debates. Although we never see what the style looks like, Washu is capable of taking out thugs twice her size with absolutely no effort doing it.
Conditional: If your character has no superhuman canon abilities, what dormant ability will you give them? HAHAHAHA. SEE GODMOD.
Weapons: Her brain. No. Really.
History/Personality/Plans/etc.
Character History: HERE
Point in Canon: The end of the second OAV, after successfully defeating Dr. Clay and merging Ryoko with her clone Zero.
Conditional: Brief summary of previous RP history: N/A
Character Personality: Washu is that bizarre mix of being completely uncomplicated with an extremely complicated candy center. At first glance, she is what she is- an unhindered, uninhibited, and completely tactless scientific genius. She has no qualms at getting in people's space, stealing genetic samples for her experiments (either by pulling hair out or more... Convaluted means- she coerces Tenchi into her lab and hooks him up to machines to take samples from him, after becoming fascinated by his manifestation of Light Hawk Wings, for example), and openly admitting that she's doing all of this in the name of science. She's blunt to a fault, never sugarcoats anything, and when she knows a situation is bad, she will flat out tell you so. Generally, however, she always has a plan to fix things, so even as she says you're screwed, she's working on a plan to fix it. However, she can also keep quiet when she suspects something is amiss and while she's generally the first to figure out a trick, she's the last to point it out, usually preferring to see it run its course out of scientific curiosity- Washu is generally motivated by that, in all respects.
Conditional: Personality development in previous game: N/A
Character Plans: Washu will be dedicated to finding out what the Core does and reversing it and I feel with her intelligence, her general disregard for anyone below her intelligence and her experience in the fields of dimensional travel, she'll likely make herself an enemy of people like SERO who would either want her brain, her research, or her head on a pike.... Plus, she's hilarious and fun.
Appearance/PB: A pseudo loli with crab hair.
Writing Samples
First Person Sample [This is no accidental feed you're seeing. Oh no, this is deliberate. The adolescent girl onscreen is typing furiously, so clearly you're seeing her broadcasting from a computer. Behind her are the familiar sights of SERO personnel and their ilk. She seems unperturbed by them. They seem pretty weirded out by her. I mean, who just randomly appears some place, busts out a holographic computer and starts doing scans like this is normal.]
Huh. It looks like my systems have already been re-calibrated to this universe. Now to just scan for the anomaly that caused this- [There's a ping] Well now. We seem to be right on top of it.
[Someone grabs her shoulder and she flicks it off.] Settle down now. I'll be finished in a minute. Oh. Hold on! [She jumps up and yanks a hair off the man's head and giggles estactically.] Thank you for your contribution to my research.
[There's some maddening beeping going on from the computer and suddenly she looks panicked, her glee cut short.] What?! How can it be overloading my systems? Nothing does that! [She glares back at the SERO personnel.] Okay, which one of you idiots can explain this?
[The feed cuts off. A few minutes later, it pops back on, showing a different location. Washu looks huffy. Obviously, things did not go well.] Those amatuers. Don't they know who I am?
Third Person Sample Building a subspace lab in the closet of the starter apartments turned out to be harder than Washu anticipated. The Juraian energies surrounding the Masaki house and shrine made them ideal for powering her systems, but being close to the Core had the opposite effect. Fluctuations in the Core caused the opposite effect and it was extremely annoying when your little piece of subspace imploded upon itself every time someone new arrived.
Washu crashed out of the closet, panting as the subspace fell apart unexpectedly, rendering her experiments useless, nearly taking her down with it, and reducing the closet to exactly what it was meant to be. She growled at the open door as if the empty closet was mocking her, and tugged at her hair.
"Argh! That's the fourth time this week!" She wailed, following it up with another frustrated growl. Without giving into her desire to throw a tantrum- because that wouldn't get anything done- she got up onto her knees and summoned her computer, her calm and zen returned in the face of finding a scientific solution to her problem. "Hm. There has to be a source of energy around here far enough from the Core I can use. Huh?"
Something pinged on the little map on the screen. She leaned closer and zoomed in, clicked a few buttons to get a decent scan going, and....
"Hah! That's perfect!" She exclaimed with delight, grinning wickedly.
