I dunno... He's kinda a betweener. Debatable. We really didn't have that many attrocious newbs. Though Trolls also make good foes.

I think that may be something that occurs for your abilities, especially since V101 will have some of your Plothole mojo applied to her skills, so another diffrentiating factor is needed. Though a few of my attacks may reference YTMND. Such as "Lol, Exodus!" which is a cutscene attack involving flying on a tennis racquet at supersonic speeds.
Right now, abilities are looking to be cued to: -Lee: Administrative powers/various in jokes. -Photu: Mostly abilities cued to various forum events he has led, such as Hurt And Heal, and Master Mod. -Loogs: Still "Calling in Cameo Airstrikes" essentially. -Choobs: More references to hacking and teh intarwebs, though his plotholiness will remain. -V101: Undetermined, though I think her ability to nonsequiteur will be a prominent one, as well as various firey things. Because, you know, hawtness. -Kaz: Not certain. I'm thinking he'll pick up a lot of the Exodus related things that didn't fit Photu (Since Mafia Assassinations are rather UN-Knightly), but he's the most up in the air.

Don't forget sarcasm.
My ultimate attack should be "Sargasm."
It's description will be "An orgasm of snark."

Hurt and Heal? You must mean Mafia.
Yeah. Mafia, the Sniflish Invasion, the website... Wait, I posted all the shit I've done for the forum somewhere. In the Staff Bios thread, maybe. That there is potential for a moveset.

Hmmm... Photu is a superhonorable knight... How to make Mafia fit?
And Kaz needs his Chestburster move from Mafia. It was him, right?

Not by stabbing anyone in the back myself, but by using my cunning rhetoric in the Host persona to sow discord among my enemies. It's all for an honorable cause: the heroes.

It's an RPGMaker project we're working on to create a sort of "Dramatization" of the history of the Exodus. It's a standard FF style RPG with heavyhanded humor and cameo appearances all over the place.

Pope needs to have a skill that turns the whole screen white for a few turns if he appears as an enemy. That would be sooo awesome.
"Errr... Who's up?"
*slashing noises*
"Lee?"

Kevin typically shows up as an NPC with a lot of lines (Not a big plot character, but really, almost only Staff are those.) (He was in line to be a PC, but three other Oloysians cut him off)
By the way, Pope is the opposite of a Grue. He resides in pure, blinding whiteness.
And finally, I've put in a few good hours of work. There'll be eight party members, and nine characters in the playable cast (with possible guest appearances, mayhaps...). I have decided seven, but must know if Loogs is considered Ulaich or Vashval. Depending on which, I'll decide between a few options on the last character. And then I'll tease you guys with bits of info and screenshots.
BTW, I'm trying for a style similar to Guilty Gear. Not artwise, but themewise, with the whole "Ridiculously over the top, awesome attacks, and a setting that SHOULD be grim, but begets hillarity." So yeah, expect awesome.

Okay, well, reviving this idea again even if it's back burner, since I'm conceptualizing...
Eight main characters: Oloysian: Photu Choobs
Vashval: V101 'boom
Ulaich: DL & Bulbs (Ice Climber style) Loogs
Alryst: Lee Kaz
And I've figured out the way to plot it out so that the climax DOES come after Ellzilla, so that's handled. I've gotta sprite for everybody there anyways, so expect to see new/revised sprites coming up before the end of January.

Moreso that the Headiness of DL overpowers the non-ranked Bulbs. I'm happy that there's room for all the house heads, although a small bit of my mind is saying I shoulda found a way to work in an extra girl or two, or an extra noob.
Though I am considering having guest characters appear at certain points. I was considering having 'boom be one, but then I realized he was non-staff, and that helped our equation out. Hmmm... I'm thinking that the guest characters will come in at various points where you're party deprived. They wouldn't be too hard to do, since I'd only need to do like five minor edit sprites and a handful of techniques. People considered for guest slots: Kimishiro, Babs, Kara, Ch@n.

Why are the guest characters so obscure, except for Baboon? If you're looking for girls and noobs, why not SV and Blood? And Elliot? And, I don't know, Clicker maybe? Or Kevin?

Because otherwise, I'd either need to drop Choobs or Photu, or add another character from each House in order to make the House system work.
And as for the guest characters, they span multiple eras. Since the game starts with the Pre-Snitz, it means that Kara and Ch@n will be guest characters durig the Pre-TCGPlayer days, and that Babs and Kimishiro will show up after TCGPlayer. (Though you were a little late for it, I think, Kimishiro was actually one of the main people setting up the Exodus with Steph and I in the beginning. And since one of the major portions of the story is the caravan to set up Archipelago Exodus, he'd naturally get a role.)
I think that Ch@n may bear changing, really, since he doesn't have any big influential stuff that's up with him. Really cool guy, but not sure on his historical significance. -Babs: Huge player on the old boards, and important in establishing the Exodus. -Kara: Among the longest lasting members still around (up there with BB/DL/Gil), and was one of the staff in the ancient days. -Kimishiro: Alongside Steph, El, and me, caused the whole "Exodus" thing. Vanished about a year later, but hey, that happens.
I suppose you could make a case for El. That'd actually work. He'd probably guest during the Snitz. As for the others? Well, sorry to say it, but nobody else on the list has really influenced board politics. All are excellent contributors and really fun, but they don't get ensnared in the E-Drama or anything like that. Clicker and BloodWolf are eyeblinks, both with only one E-battle to their names, and Kevin has stayed reserved to mostly Art/RP/just talk, so he stays out of conflict (Not to mention being one of the top-starring Good NPCs, so it ties him up a little bit.)(On top of that, all three of them have appeared in other games I've made, so it'd be a bit unfair to feature them again.) SV falls under the same area as Kevin. Great contributor, but not one to get caught up in fights/politics. Not to mention that SV and Kev both are Oloysians, which we already have three of in the main party, and a guest (Kimishiro was never actually Oloysian, but I'm totally sure he'd be one if he was around at the same time as it.) (Yes, I'm trying to keep the guests House split, too. Though that does make Babs a Vashval slot, technically.)
So, the revised NPCs probably will be: Part I: Kara El Part 2: Kimishiro Babs
As for 'boom's question, Edgar will probably show up for a few of your techniques. And during them, he will indeed kick butt.
Finally, an idea I want to implement but know would never work is in-combat voice acting. It'd be incredibly cool, but I dunno if we could get the whole main cast to turn in voice clips. (Likely: Lee, Photu, Bulbs, DL) (Unknown: Kaz, 'boom, Loogs) (Unlikely: Choobs, V101.) It really wouldn't be that much work (Voice acting for about thirty attacks, each less than fifteen seconds long), but still... Guest characters? Well, they'd be tricky. Don't have any idea what I'd do about Kimishiro, or Babs, though I'm sure Elliot would lend his vocal gifts and I think Kara wouldn't mind either. Voice acting is like the holy grail of RPGMaker, other than Caterpillar system overworld movement, but you can all see how tricky it could end up.
