Let us know) <b>Timeline Pull Point:</b> (Please give us as much context as possible, such as including a short summary in addition to the episode/issue number.) <b>Canon History:</b> (We will accept links to a wiki for Canon Characters. However, in lieu of a link (for characters with short wikis or without much canon information), we would like to see a summary of the character's past in your own words. Try to include as little headcanon as possible. In the case of OCCs, we will obviously need more than just a wiki link!) <b>CRAU History:</b> (If your character is coming to KL with previous game history (CRAU), then we need to know what their history has been since pulled from canon. If your character is straight from the regular canon, you can ignore this section.) <b>Personality:</b> (Please be clear, concise, and complete. We're looking for at least two or three paragraphs to show you know this character well.) <b>Powers/Abilities:</b> (What special abilities does you character have? Assume we know nothing about them or their species. Please include any skills or qualities of note, ex: "experienced sniper", "genius level intelligence", etc. Please note that overly powerful characters will have some of their power dampened. Please still list ALL powers and abilities, and if you have suggestions on limitations or how to dampen the character's power, please include that as well (they may not be necessary). We will inform you of any further changes needed to powers if it is deemed necessary.) <b>Inventory:</b> (What is your character coming in with.

The samples should be visible on your app.) <b>First Person Sample:</b> (A first person sample should show us how your character communicates, be that text, audio, or video. This could be their reaction to waking here, them calling for assistance, or some other such scenario. We're not looking to just see reactions, though, we want to know how they talk to others, so this sample should be one in which they're aware they're talking to others on a network, or at least trying to communicate with a certain person.) <b>Third Person Sample:</b> (This should be a few paragraphs of prose-style action. It should focus on your character, and should offer some insight into their thought patterns, the way they interact with the world, and overall should give us an idea of both them and your own writing style. We like to see creativity used here in preference to the rehashing of a canon scene. This is your opportunity to show us how your character thinks and acts within a scenario of your choice.) <b>Final Notes:</b> (Need to cover anything that hasn't already been covered? Use this spot.

Have they become the villain instead of the hero? What's their story now? Fandom OC? Where do they fit into canon?

Comments

[dickgrayson]

Why am I the first? ;a; Well here you are! XD

Player Information
Name/Alias: Prowl
Your Journal: starrscream
Age: 25
Contact Information: dm starrscream
Characters already in the game: N/A

Character Information
Character Journal: ninjashadow
Character Name: Shadowmaru
Character Canon: Brave Police J-Decker AU
Age: I think around 1 year old but acts around 18-40 I would say [robot]
Race: Brave Police line robot made by the Japanese Police Force
Timeline Change Point: Brave Police J-Decker is done the last episode has taken place. Around a week after the last episode Kagerou has been brought back and is a shaky part of the team.

World: Brave Police takes place in future Japan to the time now. The politics and worlds seem to be the same. The world is over all normal but robots are used everywhere (cars, cross walks, hot plates, ovens, etc) and most "parrot talk." The Japanese Police Force has made a robot (about 15 feet tall) with an AI "brain," the Brave Police line. Yuuta, a 12 year old child, by accident met the robot. The robot's name is Deckerd and from interactions with Yuuta the AI Deckard has becomes a super AI. This made it to where the Brave Police line has super AIs with give them human emotions.
Canon AU? The whole Brave Police J-Decker story has taken place. The change is at the end after episode 48. A week later Kagerou’s super AI chip is found. The frame Shadowmaru killed, was fixed, and stored in episode 11 is taken out of storage. It takes work (getting the super AI to link with the frame, helping Shadowmaru believe and help with the drawing out of Kagerou from his imprisoned mind, getting Kagerou to hear humans and do as they asked) but Kagerou is back and is part of the Brave Police team. The first meeting with everyone was awkward but Deckard (as always) helped Kagerou feel welcome. Shadowmaru also helped to ease Kagerou into life with the Brave Police.

History: Shadowmaru was made to be an independent unit of the Brave Police to gather information. Shadowmaru was trained by Kagerou. On the day Kagerou finished with Shadowmaru’s training Kagerou left. This lead Shadowmaru into early servus. Kagerou went around breaking talking robots. He was protecting his reformation and losing the memories that made him who he was. Shadowmaru and Kagerou talked about what was on Kagerou’s AI while Kagerou held Yuuta’s sister hostage. In the end Shadowmaru understand and let Kagerou leave to wonder and do as he wanted. Shadowmaru had meet the Brave Police right before talking to Kagerou and went back to the Deckard Room with the Brave Police team.
Sadly the next day it was found Kagerou was again destroying property but this time he was causing more much damage. The Brave Police went to stop Kagerou but Shadowmaru blocked them and tried to talk to Kagerou. The talking did not happen and in the end when Kagerou attracted Shadowmaru, Shadowmaru defended himself and killed Kagerou. Back at the Police Headquarters Kagerou was checked and it was found Kagerou was not there. His AI had been taken and the frame was only a mindless program.
Kagerou had been kidnaped by Ken Shinjo. Shinjo had removed Kagerou’s AI chip and used it to copy Shinjo’s mind as well as control the submarine. Shadowmaru found the submarine and tried to take Kagerou back only to learn Kagerou was gone. When the other Brave Police came to help the ensuing fight left the submarine badly damaged. Shadowmaru was going down with the submarine when Kagerou voice came and told Shadowmaru to live. To give Shadowmaru a way to live an escape pod Shadowmaru could get into was show and Shadowmaru left. At the dock Shadowmaru told what Kagerou said and Yuuta and the Build team said they would build him a doghouse. Shadowmaru said he was a wolf. Yuuta said they would make him a den… Shadowmaru was annoyed and spoke out but he did join the Brave Police.
[AU Unknown to anyone Shadowmaru had taken the AI chip that Kagerou had been on. He told no one as he feared they would take Kagerou’s AI from him and reformate it. There was also the trouble that the AI chip was on a submarine that was not Japanese government property-it was privet. Shadowmaru could not stand for Kagerou to be crushed or in freezing water to rust and disintegrate. Shadowmaru carried Kagerou’s AI with him.]
With the Brave Police Shadowmaru was many times on missions and missed when new members showed up or some of the larger battles. However he always placed a key role in information gathering. When the alien came to take over Earth Shadowmaru gave his all but it was not enough. Shadowmaru was killed but revived by another alien race. Not only was he revived but given a new alt as well, he gained the canon form. The canon is what was used to beat the alien from taking over. Soon after the final battle of the Brave Police J-Decker took place, during this Shadowmaru helped with information but really the big change was Shadowmaru and the other Brave Police gained real life and while “off” came back on to help.
After the battle was over life went back to normal for them. But there was one very big change still to come. Kagerou’s AI had sparked when the memories all super AIs have of Yuuta were triggered. This caused Shadowmaru to ask the maintanise crew to look at Kagerou’s AI. It turned out Kagerou’s AI was back. The frame Shadowmaru killed, was fixed, and stored in episode 11 is taken out of storage. It takes work (getting the super AI to link with the frame, helping Shadowmaru believe and help with the drawing out of Kagerou from his imprisoned mind, getting Kagerou to hear humans and do as they asked) but Kagerou is back and is part of the Brave Police team. The first meeting with everyone was awkward but Deckard (as always) helped Kagerou feel welcome. Shadowmaru also helped to ease Kagerou into life with the Brave Police.
Kagerou and Shadowmaru were out on a recon mission. Shadowmaru was in his wolf form going to meet back with Kagerou when he walked though barbed wire. It became tangled in his wings. He was just about to comm Kagerou when he looked so see he was in a new place.

Personality: Shadowmaru was created as a ninja and that is how he wants to be thought of when he wants to be seen. He is most times on the edge of the group and listening to what the others say. He normally only comments once and the comments are to say what he is about to do or helpful advice. He is most commonly not found in the Deckard Room. This is because he is out gathering information. He gives the impression of being reserved and quiet…a shadow happy to be helpful and not worried about credit or showing off his skills.
However Shadowmaru is not fully what he seems, just like a ninja. He does like to gather the information the rest of the Brave Police use to take down the rogue robot or human but he also want to have the praise and credit the others receive after a fight. He is not as reserved as he would like others to think. He has moments where his ninja calm and cool attitude fall away and childlike actions are shown.
[Headcanon: This is because Shadowmaru was taught by Kagerou and Kagerou is naturally quiet and very reserved. For all Shadowmaru’s trying he is not naturally the same way but Shadowmaru wants to be like Kagerou-in skill and personaly. It is also the ninja movies the two would watch at night. Maybe one reason Shadowmaru went into the movies when he was “free” from his BP work.]

Powers/Abilities: Shadowmaru is a Brave Police line robot. This means he is about 16 feet tall and made of metal. He has spy circuits that let him hack security systems, computers, other robots (non-sentinel), etc. He has more sensitive optics, audio, and tactual receptors meaning if it lives or well exists he knows it is there. He has stealth abilities that hide him from heat, metal, electronic, etc scans making him invisible. He was trained as a ninja and as such can fight hand to hand but seems to do the hit and hide style. He can also transform (shapeshift) in a super-sonic-jet, police car, dogwolf, tank, and a canon. He can fly in his human form as well.

Inventory: a basic repair kit, extra gas can (his food), his Brave Police badge showing him to be a Police Officer and a member of the BP as well as a communicator, his two wakizahi (not katana I think as shorter) but sized to him so about 3 feet long, many shuriken (ninja stars)

Writing Samples
First Person Sample:
[[ooc: I will change and match who I am rping. This is just what I would do. ^_^]]
There was movement across the road. But last Shadowmaru knew he was on this mission alone.
[Why am I making up shadows? Stupid child you know. Kagerou’s AI chip it….] NO. He could not think about what could be, what might be. It would hurt all the more if the spark was nothing. Better to focus on the mission.
The compound was far away but it was clear the found was open and dark. The guards seemed lazy and the security? Easy to take over.
“Shadowmaru I found you!”
Lucky for Shadowmaru he was in his wolf alt or he would have jumped. [Where was the focus and paying attention to the surroundings. Kagerou would be furious at me.] “Drill Boy…WHAT?”
Drill Boy all but bounced from one foot to another. “Well…it is….Kagerou…”
[Do not think.] To be safe he did not change but stayed in wolf form and looked up at Drill Boy.
“Kagerou…he is back but ….”
[Back?....] Shadowmaru never heard the rest as he changed to a sonic jet and was gone.

Third Person Sample:
Looking close using the security camera Shadowmaru smiled with a job well done. Well he would have smiled if he could have. As a wolf he had no way to smile but once he was back to Duke and in his main form he would smile. Backing up slowly and turning to slip out of the area Shadowmaru was careful to avoid the guards. He controlled the cameras-no need to worry about staying out of view.
Coming up next to Duke Shadowmaru changed. “Shapeshift! Are you ready to go back to the base? The robot will show where we had thought.” Duke nodded and started to walk to the road. “Have you sent the data to the others?” Shadowmaru would have rolled his eyes if he could as he followed. “Yes Duke. As I was coming to meet you I sent the information to Deckard, McCrain, and you.” Shadowmaru did not mind as much has he did at first and Duke was better but his tendency to micro manage was one reason he had such a hard time fitting in.
Duke kept walking along the road as he came to it. “I only want to make sure they know in case harm comes to us.” Shadowmaru gave in to a sighed. “I am never going to live down that the psychics took us out and we had no chance to tell anyone am I?” He found it somewhat funny both he and Duke were walking by the road. Duke seemed to take his time choosing his words. “We both messed up. I think fast communication is the best solution.”
A smile formed on Shadowmaru’s face. “Really?....SHAPESHIFT!” With that he became a jet and went with all speed to the Deckard Room. Duke stopped walking looking after Shadowmaru. By the time he comm Shadowmaru his jet-mode had him a few miles away. ||Are we not to stay together for safety. As the reason to why you did not recon alone?|| Laughing over the comm Shadowmaru made a turn and went back.

Final Notes: N/A

REVISION

[kismet_loop_mods]

Thank you for applying to Kismet Loop. The mod staff is glad to have you. Things look good, but we do have to ask for a revision on the First Person sample. What's here reads more like an action thread or log post, full of action. A first person sample should show us how your character communicates, be that text, audio, or video. We're not looking to just see reactions, though, we want to know how they talk to others, so this sample should be one in which they're aware they're talking to others on a network, or at least trying to communicate with a certain person.

Some good examples can be found, for instance, on this, this, or this app. If you have any questions or need ideas, please feel free to contact us. We'd be more than happy to help.

ONE MORE THING!
We also had a question about Shadowmaru's cannon mode. Did you see this mode as a one-time thing or a mode he can take at will?
At this time we see this as a one-time mode that Shadowmaru can't take on his own, but if you see otherwise we are willing to reconsider pending an explanation of your view of this event.

Re: REVISION

[dickgrayson]

Thank you! :D

Sorry! Here is the revision!
[VOICE POST]
Hello? Is there anyone around….where am I? Kagerou is this some form of training?

[If it is he does not like it. And from the sounds he is looking around. After a few seconds it quites down as his ninja programing boots up.]

Will someone please answer me. Where am I and how did I get here?

[He looks around the place.]

I will take it this is training and I need to figure it all out and get back to base....

Fine.

[Logs off.]


I had thought watching the show the cannon was a one time thing. However with reading Google links about Shadowmaru it seemed to be a new alt he could take. I would be willing to just say a time time thing. c:

ACCEPTED

[kismet_loop_mods]

Thank you for applying to Kismet Loop. The mod staff is happy to let you know that your application has been accepted! Please be sure to do all of the following:

++ Add your character to the Taken Page.
++ Join the game comms: kismet_loop, kismet_loop_logs, kismet_loop_ooc
++ Be sure to friend the mod journal: kismet_loop_mods.
++ You might also wish to join the crack comm fates_lemonade and/or the adult comm tempting_fate.
++ Upon gaining friend-access to the mod journal, enter or update your information on the Player Contact Page even if you are already listed (have a character already in game).
++ If you have Plurk, be sure to friend or follow the mod account: KismetLoopMods
++ Make sure there’s a public version of your application in your journal. It doesn’t have to include the Player Information or Samples, but the rest of it should be there!
++ Also make sure there’s an HMD in your journal.
++ Introduce yourself in the OOC comm!

NOTE ON THE CANNON FORM: Yeah, mod consensus was that it's a one-time thing. If nothing else, the sheer massive /size/ of it, requiring all three combiner robots together to wield - is far too much for him to achieve on his own. The aliens had stated that they granted him his wish, to just once be able to be the one to save the day basically. (Besides, his tank form is awesome and doesn't get enough use, haha.)

Welcome to Kismet Loop!
