[OOC] App post
Name: Yami no Bakura
Series: Yu-Gi-Oh!
Age: 3000+ (looks like a teenager)
Canon: Yu-Gi-Oh is the touching story of a high school boy obsessed with games and the dead Pharaoh who lives in his head. When Yuugi solved the secret of the Ancient Egyptian artifact known as the "Millennium Puzzle," he released the spirit that had been trapped inside it. Together, they fight crime! Or at the very least, kick ass at games ranging from dares involving scorpions to highly-popular card games that can actually result in death. Along with his friends, Yuugi finds himself forced to deal with a variety of villains: some want his cards, others his Millennium Puzzle, and some are just plain crazy.
Yami no Bakura is one of those villains. Like the Pharaoh, he's an ancient Egyptian spirit (he was a tomb robber in life) contained inside a Millennium item: the Millennium Ring Yuugi's classmate and friend Bakura Ryou received as a present from his father. In any case, Yami no Bakura is a sadistic and unhinged egomaniac with a penchant for tabletop RPGs. This love of D&D-like games is only helped by the fact that his Millennium Ring actually allows him to put people's souls into objects-- meaning that that the figurines of his NPCs are a little more than just figurines. Oh, and there's also this whole thing about him wanting to revive the Dark God Zorc through one of those games.
To this end, he's prone to over-the-top (and inevitably foiled) evil plans and bouts of maniacal laughter. However, the complicated nature of his plots often result in interesting twists to his character: though he couldn't care less about his host, Bakura Ryou, he's saved the boy's life before due to needing his body. And despite his hatred for the Pharaoh, something in those plans means that Yuugi's continued survival is necessary, too... making him an odd sort of unofficial babysitter for the cast, beating up their enemies so they don't have to.
NOTE: Yami no Bakura is being apped primarily from the manga and his voice reflects this. For more info, please check here!
Sample Post:
Listen up, you shambling pieces of cannon fodder! I've got an announcement to make.
Apparently there are people who say D&D is the game of Satan! You know, that it's going to lead your children astray, make them devil-worshippers and lead them into Hell. Look, that's just silly. Everyone knows that a game isn't real. You'd have to be an idiot to think a game could suck you in like that. And lucky for you ignorant masses, I'm here to show you just how much nice, wholesome fun you can have pretending to be made-up characters having made-up adventures in a made-up world!
First things first: you have to create a character. You wanna be a Paladin, huh? I wouldn't have picked you for the holy type, what with the bits falling off you and all. What religion? Jenova's Witnesses? Church of Zorc of the Latter Day Saints? Disciple of Marcy? Scientology? Don't be stupid, that last one isn't a real religion. Whatever. Let's move on. Once you've got your character sheet, let's pick you out one of these shiny new pewter figurines. Pretty cool, huh? Now close your eyes, and...
Whoops, did I say you couldn't get sucked into a game? Guess what. I lied. And I think it's about time for you to learn the real fun of D&D. Let's see. You enter a... zombie infested swamp. It's dark. You're likely to be eaten by a Purple Gruerilla. Next thing you know, there's a spout of flame and the area around you lights up-- "Holy crap, that serpent's breathing fire!" you might say. Except it's not a serpent. It's a dragon.
You know how there's that joke about, "You don't have to outrun the dragon, you just have to outrun the halfling?" Weeeeeell, I don't think that's strictly true, per se. Because, see, the halfling is too small to really make a filling meal for the dragon. So maybe you'd gain a little time while it was chowing down on Hobbit flambé, assuming you could still bring yourself to run after hearing your poor, departed party member's screams and the crunching of their bones. And after that, the dragon's going to come after you for the main course. Maybe if the dragon botches its roll, you can get away.
But it just rolled a natural 20. So say goodbye, Mr. Paladin. Where's your god now, huh? See, this is why you should've chosen Disciple of Marcy-- not only do you get a +10 defense against rape, you get a bonus water elemental attack. Useful against those pesky fire-breathing dragons. But I guess it's too late now, huh? That's what you get for being, dare I say it? Brainless! Hah! Hahahaha!
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA-- grk-- haha-- sfjklsdf I think I swallowed a fly.
