Bio: NG Favored Soul of an unknown patron. Raised in a church of the divine being Leo, he was chosen as the god's servant and reluctantly performed his duties. However, a new god, an unnamed god, took pity on him and chose him as his new champion. After long adventures in a struggle between the gods and their enemies, he has found his place in that war, and is ready to take sides.
Updated.
Don't worry, I'll make a more powerful villain to counteract this in the form of Anthor who has an ECL of 32 by being a lich sorcerer who has access to epic spells.

Less powerful than Neo's characters and some of Emperor's.
Think about the same as Mario is with all of his power upgrades, except that this one is extremely suave and persuasive.
He could still be curbstomped by Ethan, even before his power upgrades, with maybe one or two situations where he comes out on top.

I see stuff like " Ultimacy of the Old Ones" and "Ethereal Jaunt" and I have no idea what any of that means.

What? I think Seraph is the only powerful one I have. Selene and Fenrir are normal. Gran is the same.
Then again, he is right Emp, we need another person that can at least match Ethan....
Gran certainly can't...Well, mid!Gran can't and even end probably won't.

I described the effects of all the feats (most are stat bonuses) in the abilities.
Ethereal Jaunt is sort of like the Become Ethereal shout. You can't be hurt or hurt anyone, and are also invisible and silent. You can pass through walls and fly too.

Yep, this definitely can't defeat Ethan at all, but I'm okay with that. I just wanted Neo to know I have nothing against his character(s) I actually believe this will be the most fun of majority of the RP's. I liked Dissidia. This reminds me of it.
But yeah.... Repost....
WRITTEN IN RED FOR HOTBLOODED YOUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Name:Gran "Champion of Heroes"
RP/CYOA of Origin: Grand Saga
Weapons: Vánagandr, a Great Sword the is borderline Zweihander that is composed of two blades. Has the small ability to allow him to use Draconic and Wind Magicka. Also, a steel bow for small ranges attacks.
Allies: ....
Notable Traits, Powers, and Abilities: Nothing much but the ability to use Draconic(Magic of the ancient Dragon Guardians), wind magicka.
Vànagandr's Heir:Gran crouches, and transforms into a wolf of gigantic proportions, gaining the power of Vànagandr. Fights, hunts, and uses magicka like a wolf. Can only be used for ten minutes, and cannot be used until two days have passed.
Burning Whip: Gran snaps his fingers, creating a purple whip of power. Leaves behind an acidic smell and burn marks on what it touches.
Fordo's Chosen: Gran disappears, reappearing in Fordo's armor, gaining a power boost. In this form, Vànagandr transforms into a bow of legend. The arrows are enchanted with nothing but wind.
Burst: Gran uses his surroundings to jump in the air, gathering a blend of wind and draconic magicka. Vànagandr glows a faint blue hue, and he swings, unleashing a devastating blast of energy.
Card Character: No
Bio: The child of a union between nomads of the Ykash plains. Somewhere along the way, he found his true companion, Aden. Aspiring hero and self declared hero of Belle. Only time will tell if can succeed in his current journey.
Tech Level: Medieval/ Mix of some modern
-------
Name: Belle "Goddess of Creation"
RP/CYOA of origin: Grand Saga
Weapon: De Magicka, a ancient draconic tome of light.
Card Character: Yes~Gran's
Allies:...
Notable Traits, Powers, and Abilities:
Rightful Shaman: Belle extends her hand, creating two twisters of light. Nature begins to react, binding, flooding, or either shocking the opponent. Random chance of any of them happening.
Oracle's Shield: Jumps in to protect Gran from only one lethal attack. Instantly reverts to CC form.
Child of Divinity: Briefly taps into the divinity of Fordo, transforming into a being of pure brightness. Creates multiple weapons to attack and defend.
Rejuvenate: Heals a medium amount of Gran's wounds. Only use twice per battle.
Combat Techniques: Belle puts away De Magicka, and behinds using her fists, and legs to strike. Considered a stance.
Tech: Same as Gran's
------
Edited, and I believe they stand more of a chance now.

Gran certainly can't...Well, mid!Gran can't and even end probably won't. Seeing as he's a temp. villain, it would probably be better to look at if as whether a small team of people can stand a chance instead of just one person. If we make someone who can match Ethan, we'll still have a problem, but with 4 OP characters instead of just 3. That's not how it goes. Of course, that's a temporary solution since he'll turn good which leads to the villains either becoming more powerful to stand a chance and leaving everyone else in the dust, or the villains being ROFL-stomped no matter what they try to do. |

You have a point. It would be unfair to leave everyone in the dust, or just best the villains up. Sorry. So, let's try to work this out.
I got one OP main, a OP CC that will only be used for the toughest villain, and three normals and one CC that is strong, but not OP.

The way I see it, we just need to find ways for the weaker characters to catch up, and/or create instances where the villains can be outwitted/outmanoeuvred and defeated that way.
In UB, all of the main villains are infinitely more powerful than the MCs, with only like two exceptions. This creates interesting battles that can't simply be won by Awakening tactics, I.E blindly charging head and smashing A.
I had already planned that certain villains in the Crossover would be even stronger than Naga. Personally, I think it's better this way. Because it means you can't simply walk up to a villain and curbstomp him/her with just one character. You'll need a team and a coordinated strategy.

While that is true, the writers of the underpowered characters don't feel like they are "contributing" to a victory. Meanwhile, the OP characters are on even strength with the villains. That doesn't seem entirely fair. Not saying we should tone the OPness down, but we need to restrict how and when our OP characters use their skills. I, for one, nerfed Seraph's attacks to his AoL form. And left him like two he could use, but weaker than before to help level the field.

The 'OP' characters are NOT on even terms with the villains. That's the point. None of the PCs are. You presume to speak for other people. A villain that requires strategic thinking and good writing is what I'm talking about.
You're also only thinking in 2D. You only see what's on paper. You fail to realize all my characters need to be in dragon form to use their full power. And said forms are absolutely massive. Trap Ethan in a closed space, and he's suddenly not so OP anymore, is he? Do you understand now?

Trap Ethan in a closed space, and he's suddenly not so OP anymore, is he? Assuming he goes into a cave/underground or stuck in a barrier that won't break when a dragon is pushing around every wall (of which I don't believe any character thus far as demonstrated the ability). If a dragon suddenly appears in some small room in a building, he won't be trapped; the walls around him would just break. |

While not a complete jerk, he will crush anyone who gets in his way and prefers to smash his opponents with arcane might instead of taking them over with an army.

He will offer refuge to any intelligent undead who has been estranged from society, and welcomes goblinoids and humanoids alike. He does kill for fun when he gets bored though, but it's usually those who defy him anyways.

If a dragon suddenly appears in some small room in a building, he won't be trapped; the walls around him would just break. I know. I meant an underground space, like a cave system, or some such. However, if we're using my villains from UB(Jeckel, Charon, Ephidel, Thanatos etc) then they already possess the ability to trap Dragons. Jeckel and Ephidel can also lock Manaketes in dragon form, or in human form, for extended periods of time. And in the end, Ethan is still a Manakete. So are Eon and Naga. What I'm saying is they have plenty of weaknesses. |

I assumed that most fighting would be done in open fields, since Oz isn't really known for its vast cave network.

What I'm saying is they have plenty of weaknesses. Because the characters being used are villains from UB specifically made with Dragon-trapping in mind despite the fact that not all settings even have dragons and you think a Grass-type Pokemon wouldn't take extra damage from a fire spell simply because the fire spell isn't from Pokemon (and as a result Fairy-types, Pokemon's anti-dragons, are suddenly affected by dragons). |

Even though Grass Pokemon should still totally take extra damage from fire, since its sort of common sense.

Alright fine, let's use common sense. Fire Pokemon take extra damage from water spells, etc.
How is Fairy defeating Dragon common sense? It's not. At all. It doesn't make any sense in any universe other than Pokemon. Not even in mythology, which is saying something.
My characters are sufficiently balanced, and I'm not changing anything else. So deal.
