Fandom GTX: Gnu Forks - A "Glitch Techs" RP (Character Thread)

[Gadg8eer]

Please tell me you're adding an actual name for the maverick hunter expy organization.

The Renegade Hunters? I should have said Fett the Renegade, the Renegade Hunters hunt Renegades of their own kind, the human-like sapient and sentient free-willed robots known as Anthroids. Renegades are insane Androids or Gynoids who are infected with the Renegade Virus, causing them to suddenly sprout features patterned after mythological creatures and cryptids.

 

[Sir loin of beef]

Since I don't have any better ideas sure.

 

[Captain Wyldstorm]

Can mine be like a video game character based on another video game?

He's a bit of a rebel but he's one of my funnier characters. He's a demon and he's also a main OC for Just Shapes & Beats (a rhythm game by Berzerk Studio)
His powers are basically Portal-opening, pyromancy and the ability to summon weapons of red crystal.

Sure, I guess we'll have to start introducing sentient glitch PCs sooner than we planned.

Ah. Sorry if its a bit sooner than planned, I just love some of my characters existing. Pentifer is gonna be quite a nice guy and even help the tech support characters, which gets him allowed to be left alone.

No problem! Tbh, it'll be worth it to have someone else join in. Welcome aboard!

You mean like Friday night Funkin?

 

[Captain Wyldstorm]

You mean like Friday night Funkin?

You're thinking of Newgrounds. In Just Shapes & Beats, you play as a cyan square who can dash and does so in levels that usually have a chiptune vibe. The main antagonist is a black and pink circle that has been named Blixer by the fans of the game. Look it up if you need to.

 

[Sir loin of beef]

2 things

1:If I'm being honest Shapes and beats sounds it has some Educational value. I mean the characters are shapes so you can use studying for a geometry test as an excuse to play it.

2:so it's more like Classic era Sonic the hedgehog?

Ele Cash
Gamertag name thingy: Elextrixtr

Age:14
Backstory: Ele joined Hinobi at a young age due to winning a competition. She's often the first to make a joke or trick-like reference. She's a huge fan of Shape Sprint(we all can guess what game its based on [GEOMETRY DASH]) and loves to hum songs from it. She loves to play around with Glitches and can be quite an airhead, but tends to be a stubborn and energetic troublemaker. She pulls a lot of pranks.
Level: 3
Abilities: Shockwave Cannon- her gauntlet can become a holographic cannon that causes shockwaves. This costs 200 XP and has a 30 second cooldown.
Sugar rush- Ele can eat a large number of sweets and pretty much go on a sugar rush, increasing her speed and attack speed. However, after 2 minutes of a sugar rush she will have a sugar crash and the opposite will occur, causing her to be much weaker. This has a 1 minute cooldown and the sugar crash lasts 3 minutes. She can only do this near a sweet shop or if she brings sweets with her.
Other: she was originally from a certain country people make fun of the inhabitants of for their accents and how they say bottle of water.

She should have this as her Tech Gauntlet...

The Kakari "Communications Gauntlet" is the invention of Kakari game dev Barbara "Bug" Rivers, who created the famous game PLixel Ripped 198X in 1978. Before the Great Electronics Crash of 1983, it was thought that Kakari and its K-64 home computer would continue to win over the rival Hinobi Hive, as the company was rolling in money thanks to the success of their first big game, and thus was the first tech corporation in America to have the equivalent of Arasaka's Troubleshooters who were world-famous in the 80s for being uniquely Japanese. When the Great Crash of '83 occured, both Kakari and Arasaka would fall from their former glory and be relegated to the first in a long list of other megacorps to be outdone or otherwise driven out of business by Hinobi; Arasaka finally folded in 2020 due to the 19.co.vid Hiverse Pandemic, while Kakari has been a subsidiary since the mid-2010s.

[MisterEightySix]

Here's everything I have on my character before I post. His appearance is still being decided.
---
Name: Lionel Sharpe
Username: HardModeWarez (Hum for short)
Age: 24
Not every Glitch Tech under Hinobi's employment is part of an official branch. This can happen for a number of reasons. In Hum's case, it's because, after working at Gnu Fork for a few years during his early days as a Tech, he went into business for himself as a freelance agent and opened a small electronics repair shop out of his home, which is legally considered a contractor for Hinobi and therefore keeps him, if tenuously, on the payroll. Mainly he's a hardware specialist, hence the name, who can look at a damaged HCP and immediately deduce what kind of glitches it likely spawned, but because Hinobi's policy is to replace HCPs rather than repair them, he's also taken to keeping the damaged ones that he's salvaged from previous missions and attempting to fix them himself while reporting them to corporate as destroyed, a practice that has so far met with only limited success and which DportEd has repeatedly advised him against. Despite this, he continues to tinker with them whenever the opportunity arises, hoping to perhaps be the one to finally discover where glitches truly come from and how root glitches rez into more complex forms, but Hinobi is a company that keeps a lot of secrets, and if he's not careful, renegade programs may not be the only hazard he'll have to face in his unusual line of work.

[Lady Moldoma]

I thought she deserved a file, even if she won't be super relevant to the story.

Name: "Dee"
Username: "TheNotoriousWillOfTheD" (Metatag) / "Calzone" (Egroundsfark/CheatGenKey (The top ranked site for cheat engine and trainer generation since 2002)) And like 300 other darknet and deep web aliases.
Age: Unknown, Remains mostly anonymous, Likely in her mid 20s but has claimed to be anywhere from 19 to 43 when asked.

The former manager/mechanic partnered with ZoeIRL during the streamers illegal bot-fighting ring days/The world's top cheat-engine creator. From an early age, Dee was a total programming and mechanical engineering prodigy. At age 16 she already had 7 Hinobi programming contest awards under her belt. To both her and Zoe, the illegal bot-fighting was simply a hobby to pass the time, however she gave it her all (within legal modification limits of course.) At some point in her past she was involved in the precursor to the Plixelf project, the Hinobi Mind-Uploading Closed Alpha Project (HiMUCA) which initially sought to upload the minds of animals into ethereal cloud-based bodies, before moving onto humans. Living bodies, as it seems however, were unable to withstand the methods used. Dee still considers it not a "Failure" but a "Try it again when the tech gets better" sort of situation. Among her many claims to fame are her creation of CheatGenKey, a premium, curated repository, for limited self-developing Automatic and manual interactive software directed at a single goal: Cheating in video games. Though she isn't exactly a tech herself, her relationship with Hinobi isn't to be understated, it might also not be mere coincidence that Zoe and her know each other.

Nobody's seen her real face, but this Is her avatar and the mascot of CheatGenKey, Calzone-Chan:

Nightwolf Primal
a character made by Elextrixtr for a side-project she called The Wyldlands, Nightwolf was supposed to be the main protagonist of the game. However, the project glitched mid-production and Nightwolf has been hiding out in Elextrixtr's house to avoid being de-rezzed. Elextrixtr is okay with this, of course. She can manipulate ice, has the resistance of a cartoon and can switch between two forms- her usual form of a tall slim anthro purple wolf, and a giant hulking beast called a Feralius Form.

Sure, just try to make any other characters after this ordinary humans. It was kind of supposed to be special (at least at first) for sentient Glitches like Bolypius or Pentifer to exist and we haven't reached the point where the opportunity to change that becomes part of the plot. So I'm assuming Nightwolf is not in the same boat as Pentifer (yet). He'll probably be able to get a job working with Hum's contracting business (Hum's Debuggers) since Pentifer is probably already too big a risk for GNU Forks to shelter a second self-aware Glitch. That way your existing characters get their own team and your new character has another player with them.
